Have you ever done something as a mother that before you were a mom, you would have totally judged another mother for?  For instance, the other day I was running late, found myself out of healthy options, so I gave my kids brownies and chocolate milk for breakfast (sorry Mrs. Wade and Mrs. Macke. lol).  We are reserving judgment here ladies, just trying to have a laugh!

Lol no. I'm the oldest of 5 so I learned early that you do what needs to be done and if others don't like then oh well!

I too have let my kids sleep in the bed with me and DH ,on occasion, when they climb in our bed at night.  I know it is not good, but usually it is 3 in the morning when they do this, and I am just too damn tired to yell at them to go back to their own beds.  I don't judge parents that choose to Co sleep, but it is not something I make a habit out of.

I was pretty to the book with my first one, but he was my only one for 8 years, than we had twins they are now 15 months so we eat out 3-4times a week and on ocasions they have cookies after dinner I brive with choc. in order for them to eat their food, and I pay my son to clean up after dinner so I dont have to be in the kitchen till 11:p.m doing it all after the babies go to sleep (which they still wake at night a couple times each) and I do have a full time job, but I also have other things that Im big on and do like no tv for babies little tv for older son, showers daily you pick your battles and do what works for you!! :+))

GOOD JOB MAMAS!!!

I actually read an article that quoted a jeans maker as saying that you only need to wash your jeans once every six months! LOL He obviously never had kids playing football outside in those jeans!!!

Quoting crystaldiaz:

Lol, that's funny. My kids would love that! I've sent my kids to school in yesterdays jeans cause I didn't do laundry :/ I know, I know...nasty!

1 mom liked this
I was at a banquet once. A woman there had her 4mo old with her. She breastfed her at the table with strangers. I thought that was so odd then. Once I had my babies I understood. I dont leave them for the first year. So if I go to a fancy dinner, so do they. And yes I breastfeed at the table and could care less about the stares, comments, and general stupidness of others.

I didn't really, mostly because I didn't know anything about motherhood.
