15 True Mom Confessions
- My son knows he’s not allowed downstairs until 9 AM. He wakes up, calls down to let me know he’s awake, goes potty and then climbs back in bed with a few toys. Reason why? He’s been told that between 8 AM and 9 AM, Mommy’s fighting the monster that lives in the laundry basket.
- It’s been one of those days. I just ate a full pint of Häagen- Dazs, and when my three year old asked me what I was eating, I told her it was special medicine for mommies because I didn’t want to share.
- I just found out a week ago that I have breast cancer. I have not told anyone. Not even my husband. And I don’t think I will be able to let my kids know.
- Maybe it’s wrong, but I judge other moms by how clean their kids are . . . dirty kid = bad mom. Is it seriously that hard to break out a wipe and take the crud off of your kid’s face?
- I flush the toilet (in the guest bathroom) when my husband is taking a shower because I resent the fact that he actually gets any time alone without the kids bothering him. I know he gets a shot of cold water because he screams. I smile.
- I’m sick of the fact that every conversation I have with my friend is really a competition to see who has the smarter kid.
- To get alone time in my house, I tell my husband I have to poop, when I really don’t. I shut and lock the door, and play a few rounds of hand- held Yahtzee.
- My “me time” is this: strap the kids in their car seats, drive through Starbucks, drive around town while the kids sleep, look at big magnificent houses and dream of the day I might live in one. Sigh.
- My son is six months old and I still don’t trust my husband with him alone for more than an hour.
- I sometimes fantasize about getting divorced just so I could have every other weekend off.
- The real reason we can’t go to play at your friend’s house is because the mommies don’t play well together.
- I hate my mother- in- law. I pretend that I’ve forgiven her for the horrible things she’s said and done, but deep down I know I’ll never really forgive her.
- Whenever my husband is really late coming home, I wonder if he’s been in an accident and then I think about all the things I could do with his life insurance money. That’s usually when I hear his key in the door and I feel both guilty and slightly disappointed at the same time.
- My DH and I had an eighteen- month- old and decided that we would try for number two. Much to our surprise, we got pregnant right away. At eight weeks, I had a miscarriage. I was grateful. At the time I was not ready to start on the road to motherhood again. Now, we have a four- year- old and a one- year- old. The two are a perfect pair and I feel that the loss was meant to be. I have never told a soul that I was glad to have miscarried.
- I wish my son were as smart as other kids.
