Anyone want to share your latest "mom fail"?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Last night, I felt like I was in a comedy about "what can go wrong with baby." For some background, I'm a professor, and my guy teaches guitar. On Mondays, we have a crazy juggling schedule.

I come home from the office at 3:30. He teaches guitar from 4:00-6:00 at an Art Center. I teach again from 6:00-8:00 at the college, so I drop our LO (Liam) off at the Art Center with Daddy around 5:30, and I go teach. (Normally, this is awesome because Liam just listens to people's guitar lessons for a half hour.)

Yesterday, Liam took one of those poops that means he just had to have a bath; there was no way around it, and I had to drop him off soon to go teach my night class. So, I get him mostly clean and naked and am running the water in the bathtub, and he spits up on me! So, the bathtub running and the spit-up made me have to pee, so I just held a naked baby while I peed, which, apparently, made HIM have to pee, so he peed ALL over my chest.

So, I dealt with nearly everything that could come out of a baby within a 5 minute period. I was able to get him dressed (except for one shoe) and take him where he needed to be and make it to work on time--I just handed Jared the shoe I couldn't get on him and shrugged before heading back out to the car. But, sheesh! I could never be a SAHM.

What are your latest "mom fails"? Anyone want to share?

    What you just described sounds like my normal every day lol. I get pooped on, sometimes in public, peed on, she's even spit up INTO MY MOUTH before. The glamorous life of a full-time mom...

    DS pushes himself under the couch but gets stuck because of his head.  I called his name, he looked up to see me, and smacked the back of his head on the wood frame of the couch.  Oops.

    I feel so mean now, but I LOL'ed at this.

    I learned my lesson.  Now I have to get down on the floor and get him out hoping that he doesn't look up.  The benefit is the floor under the couch is really clean with him always squirming his way under there!

    Here's a Japanese invention made just for that purpose! The "Baby Mop Suit" :-) Why can't we have things like this in the US?  Stick out tongue

    i'm laughing at most of these- not becuase they are funny, but because I relate :)

    I have a big headed little guy, so he topples over and smacks his head all the time Embarrassed  He also gets stuck on/under furniture.

    I saw this on a list of ridiculous inventions and I thought, that isn't ridiculous, it's brilliant.

    This happened yesterday - my LO is sitting up pretty good on her own. She's mostly steady and she can get to her belly pretty good when she wants something just out of her reach.  She also has a slight cold: runny nose, coughing, the occasional sneeze...WELL apparently the occasional sneeze and being an semi-steady sitter don't mix very well.  She sneezed and toppled over backwards hitting her head.  Good thing we have carpet and I always make sure to keep her away from furniture when I set her down...

    The same reason I could never be a nurse. I can only handle so many bodily fluids on me...  This is what SAHDs are for :-) I can't take all the pooping and peeing! In addition to that, no one's offered me my current salary for staying home ;-) (But I wouldn't do it anyway.)

    I had one this morning...

    E is getting so good at eating solids that this AM while I was making her eggs, I just broke up some crumbly biscuit on her tray and let her go for it. Welllll....she was stuffing fistfuls of biscuit into her mouth and I was all, "be careful" and then went back to cooking. As soon as I turned back to the stove, I hear gagging and see that she has a mouthful of biscuit and she's gagging herself on it. I rip her from the high chair and (in an overkill move) do baby heimlich, causing her to gag and vomit up all over me and the floor (she remained unscathed). I sat her up in my lap and she looked at me starting laughing and when she laughed I got a spray of biscuit in my face.

    Son of a...I didn't tell the DH because I'm not talking to him, because I asked him to pack her bag for Thanksgiving and he packed her 4 onesies, 3 pants, one sleeper and 2 sweaters and then handed me the bag and said, "She might need another shirt."
