Warning: Anyone who doesn’t have kids or just has one well behaved child maaaay not understand this post.
**********
Everything (already an exaggeration) I said I’d never do has come back to bite me in the butt. Every judgement and snotty-themed little thought directed at another has come back to haunt me. Here are my top 5 things I wish I never thought or said…
–“People who have messy houses just choose to have it. It’s about priorities.” Tell that to my shower and toilets. And my kitchen floor, bedroom and … every room in the house. They miss being cleaned. EVER.
–“I’m not going to be like that person, I’m not going to HAVE to be at home by 7 every night and not have a life and friends Ben and I hang out with!” Bug is in bed by 7:30 at the latest. We don’t really have couple friends and don’t hang out with the ones that we DO have. Wait. This is making me really sad… channeling pre-kid Heidi… we need couple friends!!!
–“Wow, that care is disgusting. Week old fries? GROSS. … not gonna ride with HER again…” Has anyone been in my car recently? Don’t look in the back seat, please. Really, I just don’t care anymore.
–“People who feed their kids bad are lazy.” can I just sigh heavily here and plead the 5th? I didn’t anticipate a picky eater either…
and the best for last…
–“Oh, those moms who have harnesses for their kid just don’t know how to discipline their kids.” Yeah. I’m currently shopping for a harness for Bug. I’ve given up. Judge me like I judged others. I care more about the safety of my child than what others think of me and my lack of parenting.
