Mom confessions

MrsHamilton2b · January 2012

So I feel like the worst mother in the world.......Last night my DD was sleeping in her bassinet, she wiggled to far to on side of it, and it topple over. she hit the floor. I freaked out. She was fine....mommy not so much

What have you done, or has happened to your LO that broke your heart in two?

I like to poke LO's nose, and a couple of days ago I accidently poked her with my nail. I felt terrible, she got the really big frown that says she's really upset about something and I wanted to cry. I've managed to pinch her with fingernail clippers, and bumped her head on a doorway too. If you feel bad, how bad am I to have done all these things?

There have been times when my wedding bands scratched Phin's back during bath time. Another time he slammed his head so hard into my collarbone, I thought for sure he'd bruise. Luckily, he was fine, but I cried hysterically.

LOL. That's sort of hilarious. Sorry.

Yesterday, Ella was sitting on my lap, facing forward and flung herself forward and bumped her head on my TV table. She froze, stared at me, and like 5 seconds later started wailing! I laughed. I'm a bad mommy.

I have dropped my phone on her while taking a picture, bumped her head into a door, and scratched her with my ring because one of the brackets was bent back and I didn't notice..none of them even phased her but I felt terrible.

The other night though I definitely felt like the worst mom ever. I was home alone with DD and she was napping in her swing and I was laying down with a bad headache that kept getting worse. By the time she woke up my head hurt so bad I literally couldn't even stand up. I crawled over to her and called FI to come home but I couldn't do anything other than sit in front of her and try to comfort her until he got home (about 15 mins). We ended up going to the ER but they didn't find anything wrong which only made me feel worse.

Elijah has a clogged tear duct which requires me to manually express the goop. Several times as I am going in with my finger he jerks his head towards my finger and I end up poking him in the eye.

My baby was laying on the bed and I dropped the TV remote when I was moving it and I dropped it on his head. He screamed and screamed and I cried. I didnt tell my husband abou it because I knew he'd say something profoundly unhelpful like "you should be more careful.".

Once when I gave DD a kiss on the cheek I poked her in the eye with my nose....

The first time I cut his nails, I totally got skin and he bled

I felt bad. DH kept rubbing it in so I told him he should do it from now on and see how hard it is. He's never brought it up again

I was putting lotion on DD the other morning and my nails were too long. I nicked her chin. She started crying really hard. I felt so bad and even worse when I realized that she was bleeding a little from the cut.

OMG I thought my LO was the only one with this! It makes me so sad his eyes are always sooo goopy and I am constantly poking at his eyes (

I went to a restaurant with my family and there wasn't anywhere to change LO in the bathroom so I took her out to the car. After she was changed I lifted her up over my head because that always puts a smile on her face. But instead, her head banged really hard on the top of the car I felt soooooo bad!

Also, DH felt really bad today when he got his hair cut and shaved and LO didn't recognize him! I handed her to him and she just started screaming until I took her back. After some gentle coaxing and him talking to her she calmed down and was okay with him, but she still keeps giving him the side eye, like she's not totally convinced it's her daddy... I feel a little bad for laughing at the situation.....

I had DS in his carrier in the back of a shopping cart. As I was leaving the store I was talking to my mom and I thought I was going down the handicap ramp but I pushed it right over the edge. It shook the cart pretty good, DS was fine but I was freaking out. My mom said if he were hurt he'd cry but I felt terrible

BryannaBorgia · January 2012

Let's see...

I've dropped the remote on her head. The scream from that was so bad I started crying, too! (She was more startled than anything; it didn't even leave a bump but I still felt/feel awful!)

I took a sip of my long-cold coffee and some dribbled into her hair.

I bit her finger when I was biting her nails...

I'm sure there's more and there will definitely be more in the coming months/years, lol!
