After two babies and three years of severe sleep deprivation I have done a few things I am less than proud of.
I am not a bad person. But when you are so tired you can barely remember your own name – it is a matter of survival.

I definitely won’t win but it would be nice not to come last! Don’t do it for me…do it for my children.. THANK YOU!!
Love this list, I’ve def done many of these. I remember dropping baked beans on my son’s face while breastfeeding, have slept in baby sick on several occasions and regularly fantasize about smothering my husband with a pillow!
Ha ha! Yep. I think i am now immune to the smell of baby sick. I don’t seem to notice it!
Nail. On. Head. Our television often “breaks,” as do the loud toys. I feel like that’s the only way to stay sane and not get as many meltdowns as you would if you just said No! There’s a lot of eye rolling in our house, too. And of course, the pocket finger.
Kids tv is always breaking down in our house.. I suspect my toddler is planning a stern letter to the BBC when she learns to write! :
Oh got to love the pocket finger!!
So many of these ring true. Mouthing “FFS” and childishly flicking the Vs behind toddler’s back happening a bit too often, mainly since the arrival of #2. I *might* have also stretched the truth a tad once or twice about how little baby has napped in order to explain away the piles of unwashed dishes and toy-bombed living room…
Thank GOD it is not just me!!
Per usual, so many great things! I feel like we could be sweary, smelly, non-bra washing good friends in another universe 😉
Ha ha we could.. the world would be very afraid!
Ha! Great list. I never wash my bra these days, I’m so grim. I also let my son play with / do anything to get a minute of peace, I’m teaching him such awful habits. Oh, and lately I really can’t help but call him an arsehole under my breath when he is being stroppy and unreasonable. I do it so often, it’s almost become a term of endearment.
I feel both better and worse for admitting all that!
Cheers! Ha ha I say an under the breath ‘for fucks sake’ so often it is like my secret catchphrase. ..
Glad it’s not just me!
