Multiples

I made the DUMBEST comment today....

I feel just terrible.  So I was at the day care this morning and I use the double stroller to get them in and out by myself.  The thing is a pain to set up so I asked if there was a place I could store it during the day.

They said there wasn't and they were VERY apologetic.  The honestly felt badly about it.  In trying to make them feel better I said, "Don't be sorry!  I am the one that had stupid twins".  WTF is wrong with me?

I said it jokingly of course just trying to make them laugh and put them at ease.  Unfortunately all I did was cauase a giant look of horror to spread across their face.

I tried to quickly clean it up by telling them how I wouldn't have done it any different, how much I love my babies and how it is just hard but the damage is done.  It only took 3 days at a new day care for me to look like an ass.  Nice going mommy.

What I should have said was "I am the one who OVULATED twice".  UGH.  I just want to crawl in a hole.

  • And guess what?  Just b/c you're super mom doesn't make you perfect.  Nice to meet someone who manages to put their foot in their mouth every now and then.  It happens to me often :)  You and they will forget about this slip
  • OMG, LMAO!  That totally sounds like something I would say!

    When I was trying to get pregnant (which was very hard for us) we were at a restaurant with my parents and I said something like "I just want a freaking baby!" but it came out kinda loud and stern sounding.  The older couple next to us looked at me in horror!  Oops!

  • and let not forget about my lovely comment today at home depot saying to my children i was putting them on craigslist if the whining did not stop....more an a few ppl heard me :)

     

  • LOL!!!  That is something I would say.  Don't worry, you are a great mom and we know what you meant.  They will see how great you are and forget you ever said that.
  • Totally the kind of thing I would do! Just laugh it off.
  • OMG that is so funny - don't worry about it. That is totally something my DH or I would say because we are so sarcastic and have a very dry sense of humor.
  • LOL!!!  Too funny---they have probably forgotten about it already :) 
  • Dont' feel bad....when the boys have an "off" day, I say stuff like that all the time. In fact, once I even offered them to the highest bidder on my "Facebook Status"...lol. I hear people jokingly say stuff like this all the time. I personally think if they were that "horrified", they need to chill out.
  • Hey Kyla! Don't be so hard on yourself. It was a simple slip. Clearly anyone can see how much you love your little ones. FWIW I am constantly sticking my foot in my mouth. Just chalk it up to being human and let them see what a wonderful mother you are. :)  

  • LOL - that's something I would do too.  Don't beat yourself up!

    I told someone once that I thought Angelina Jolie was right - babies kind of are like little lumps for the first few months...and boy did I get stares!
