I got this from my good friend DCRmom, who lives over here. Here are my guilty parenting secrets. Now, I know all of ya’ll are convinced I am the perfect parent *ahem* but let me let you in on a few little secrets:
1. I bribe my kids with candy.
2. I’m really bad about giving them vitamins. Really. Bad.
3. Last week, they did not have a bath for six days. Yup, that’s right. Six.
4. Yesterday, Little Sister woke up from her nap at 4. We left her in her crib until after 5. We do this regularly. This is why she is not in a bed yet.
5. I let my kids eat candy. And McDonalds. And drink Sprite. And Big Sister takes sips of my coffee. And they love frozen chicken nuggets. The cheap kind.
6. My kids call for Daddy in the middle of the night because I’m mean to them when they wake me up.
7. When Daddy is out of town, we have either scrambled eggs, cereal grilled cheese or frozen pizza for dinner. That’s about it.
8. My kids have never, ever used glitter because the very thought of an open glitter container in my house makes me hyperventilate.
9. My kids regularly make me cry. Not in a good way.
10. As soon as my kids spill anything, they say “I’m sorry Mommy!!!” because they are afarid they’re in trouble.

oooh the glitter.. I hate glitter, My oldest almost 11 got glitter when she was 4 years old, what a mess.. never again.. but they do make these glitter glue pens which I will buy them. don’t have to sweep up glitter for months that way. I also forgot to add the frozen pizza on my list. LOL that is another one of there weekly food
Can I add that I make my kids go to bed at seven? They have to read until 8 or 9 but it’s outta sight/outta mind once 7 hits. I’m bad, so bad. . . but I’m sane.
And I have thought of sooooooooooo many more.
I also put my kids to bed at 7:30. I don’t care if they stay up until 9. But I am d-o-n-e parenting at 7:30. g’bye.
I also think my kids watch way too much tv. Well, videos, since today’s kids’ shows scare me.
I don’t even have any kids yet, but I completely agree with you on the “glitter ban”. I actually threw away a gift bag that my sister gave to me (she bought a huge pack) because it had a glitter snowflake on it and it. and I like snowflakes. but not ones that leave residue all over my hands!
