Did you see Melissa’s post ‘Why I am a horrible mother‘? I was so inspired by her awfulness that I decided to write my own.
I’m a much worse mother…
- Part of the reason I homeschool is so that my kids aren’t socialized
- I have no intentions of teaching my kids ‘safe’ sex. We will only consider abstinance
- I co-sleep with the baby and the twins share a room with us
- The baby only has up to her 6 month vaccines {she’s 3} and I am not having anymore done any time soon
- I refused the vaccinations they wanted to do in the hospital when she was born, for both of us
- I still believe that vaccines contributed to the twins Autism~ that’s why the baby isn’t getting any right now
- I tell them to shut up. ‘Be quiet’ doesn’t work so I use ‘shut up’
- If the baby had been a boy, she wouldn’t have been circumcised
- I don’t smack the twins
- Church and church activities are not an option~ freedom of religion is not a right in my household
- We don’t have cable. I believe it rots your brain but…
- They watch way too much TV
- We don’t have birthday parties~ we celebrate as a family instead and go somewhere special. We will have parties for 10, 13, 16 & 18
- My girls will not date or have boyfriends until, at least, 16. If I think they’re not ready at 16, they will have to wait until 18
- I have them convinced that they have to live with me until they’re 30
- I am a helicopter mom and make no excuses for it
- I’m addicted to sugar and make no effort to hide it. They eat too much candy
- I throw away their toys {the ones they don’t play with anymore} when they are sleeping
- Freedom of expression int their dress is allowed as long as the clothes meet my expectations ie) shorts of a certain length, no 2 piece bathing suits, etc. So sometimes they look ridiculous and I let them
- I put them to bed at 8 PM and ‘clock out’ as their mother. I just can’t do it anymore by that time.
- My children don’t have the right to privacy. My responsibility to protect them comes first. Always.
- Melissa thinks I’m too hard on my older girls but I don’t care. She thinks they’re angels but my philosophy is “Why do you think they’re so well behaved?”
- My mom and I are planning a vacation for the Spring and I’m not consulting them. They will come with us, but we will decide what we’re doing.
I could really keep going but I have to stop at some point…
What about you? Are you a crappy mom, too? I’d love to hear some of the things you don’t apologize for!
