Bad Mom Admissions! FFC-mom only related

So I had a Dr's appt today, right downtown (just over the hill from where I live). So I plopped Aubrey in the stroller and walked there. Stopped at the deli on the way home and got a salad then had to put it in the fridge right when we got home because I hadn't pumped yet today. So I put Aubs in the bouncy seat, sat down and pumped. Then when I was done, she needed a diaper change, so I did that, and when I put her back in the seat she was fussing. So then I fed her. Then she was starting to fall asleep and I tried putting her back in the seat, but no, still fussy. So it was 4:00 and I still hadn't eaten ALL day. That salad was calling my name! So, I reluctantly decided....to let her watch tv. I've seen her noticing it lately, so, I said eff it, and turned the bouncy seat around so she could watch, and she immediately became enthralled and now she's sleeping. Mom of the year over here. I so have a tv addiction, and I so don't want her to! Ugh! So, what has everyone else done, that maybe they shouldn't have and have mom guilt for? Kinda sorta an FFC, mom related. Aaaaand GO!

I left lo in the car while it was running to run inside and get something I forgot when we left this morning.
I thought about trying CIO during her nap today, but then couldn't take it 2 minutes.
If she poops when I'm rocking her to sleep at night I don't change her. (I always have tons of diaper cream on her and my logic is-if she was already in bed I would have no clue that she had pooped. Also there's been too many times ice thought she pooped and it was just gas!)
That's all I have right now...I know there's more
Oh this was no peeing... I had a mad stomach ache going on! Lol all I could think about was how you're not supposed to have your toothbrush near the toilet bc when you flush poo particles fly out haha I was sure to keep him as free from particles as possible!!
I just laughed SO hard at that!!
I dont keep my toothbrush near the toilet for this reason..

Me too! Do you know those poo particles can travel 5 feet when you flush?! FIVE. FEET. We keep ours in the medicine cabinet for this reason.
I have used the bathroom numerous times while holding or nursing DD. Sometimes I just can't wait or I just don't want to set her down and hear her cry because then she is a wreck.
The only way we have gotten DD to sleep in her crib, or go down at a decent time, is if she sleeps in her pillow lounger. Last night I found her almost squirmed out of it, so we won't be doing that anymore, but now she won't sleep in there. I'm so tempted to put that lounger back in there, so I can sleep.
Dd sleeps in bed with me, covered with a receiving blanket, on her tummy. I sleep further down in the bed in case I roll (which I never do) and because I like to be covered up to my chin.
I've used the bathroom while breastfeeding.
Had to use public restroom once while holding her. That was interesting.
I never wake her if she's still asleep in her car seat.
I've put her swing in the crib and let her fall asleep in it while I take a power nap.
Sometimes I have to let her cry before I can console her. Especially when she's overtired.
I think that's enough for now!
DD cries so much and I can't hold her all the time so I've had to just let her cry while I get stuff done (mostly when I'm doing something for DS). Sorry DD.
I forget shit all the time and leave both kids sitting in the car in the garage (not running!) while I run inside. I also don't think that's very bad... It's not like I'm gone for several minutes. Probably 30 seconds!

Never sterilized anything, ever.
She sleeps in the day on my BF pillow with her face planted in it (I do check her).
I let her sleep in the couch while I get stuff done (she's packed in with pillows).
I fall asleep BFing her and have no idea if she's fed or for how long on that side.
I cheat when she cries and just stick her on my boob if I can't figure out what she needs, then complain at DH when he can't figure out her cries in the evening.
I'm sure there is more.
Lessi. I never sterilize anything ever. I wash the bottles/pump parts in hot soapy water along with our dishes. I think a few germs are healthy.
I am a little obsessive about my privacy in the bathroom and if LO is crying but I really can't put it off, I put him down and let him cry. I don't believe this could possibly be damaging.
If I know I can hear LO if/when he cries, it doesn't matter to me where I am in the house or yard. On Sunday he was napping in his RnP inside the house and I needed to help MH outside the house. I opened the window nearest to where we were working and moved his RnP next to it, then went out to work for maybe half an hour. No baby monitor (we don't even own one).
I have bonked his head and also have nicked his finger while cutting his nails. I felt for his pain, but I didn't feel horrible and I myself didn't cry. Head bonks, scrapes, and cuts are the stuff childhood is made of and I see no reason to become overwrought.
He gets a bath once a week and wipe downs the rest of the time.
I am, however, meticulous about car seat and sleep safety.
No guilt about any of this. I'm pretty confident as a parent and if I do something, I own it! I hope it goes without saying that I deeply love my child. ;-)
He sleeps on his side, not on his back.
I have walked away from his changing table many times with him still on there.
He actually sleeps on my pillow in his PNP because he needs extra elevation.
What's with the smashing the face in the arm/pillow/boob ? Why do they do that?!
I left him laying on the floor while I put in a load of laundry in the next room. When I came back he had turned himself around so he could see the tv. Smh lol
@lalaith50 I can usually hear him poop, but really it doesn't matter because I check/change him at regular intervals regardless. So if I miss a poop it's NBD.
Harper sleeps on her side with a blanket, I breastfeeding in the bathroom and I let her cry while I eat. She has survived thus far so I must be doing something right.

Me too! Do you know those poo particles can travel 5 feet when you flush?! FIVE. FEET. We keep ours in the medicine cabinet for this reason. We shut the lid & then flush....?
Oh the lid is always down on our toilet, and I close before I flush. But those particles can fly, people! I'm thinking about making a space in the drawer for my electric toothbrush now just reading this! The brush itself is in the cabinet.
So I have more, I just didn't think this thread would make it this far. Mine never do.
I have held LO while on the toilet.
I never buckle her into the swing or RnP, she can't roll yet, and I have no idea how she could manage rolling out of those anyway.
I leave her in the swing and take the monitor outside while I take my dogs out, twice a day, every day (unless she's screaming, then she'll come with in the ergo). We are on he second floor and one of our dogs can't do the stairs, so she has to be carried too. So, carrying an infant and a small dog up and down a steep outside staircase? Not so easy.
She only gets a bath once a week, usually on fridays.
I did leave her in the car once for a sec while I had to run back in because I forgot something. I don't like to do that though b/c we live at a busy intersection and our driveway is right on the street. I guess I don't get why I would need to leave her in the car alone, anyway. I would rather just put her in the carrier in the house, then bring whatever out first to the car or bring her in first then go back out for groceries or whatever is in there.
When we bed share, it's not "proper". Honestly, I am such a light sleeper that it would be impossible for me to roll over her. I just got a snuza too, so that is also there to protect her at least.
She sleeps with a blanket over her legs up to her waist.
I only sterilize bottles after the initial wash, and I don't sterilize my breast pump parts all the time (although I will once I go back to work)
Aaaand she was just super fussy again, for no reason. Diaper is dry, she is fed, was holding her and she was just getting pissed, so I put sponge bob on and turned the bouncy seat to face the tv again and now she's fine, once again, and has fallen asleep.
