#MomConfessionMonday. I’m making this a real thing, friends and this is round 3 (first round /second round)! I have a million mom confessions that I could share, which makes me think that you probably do too. So, let’s share. Share the crazy, share the love, share the little white lies we tell our babies (and for good reason), share what gets you through the long days. Just so you get the gist of what I’m thinking, here are a few of my own confessions for your enjoyment. 🙂
I throw away a good portion of my children’s art masterpieces. All of the papers and paintings that come home from school, and even the ones we do at home, I only keep a select few. I would say I keep 5% of what comes home. I’ve even been caught throwing art work away and had to tell a little white lie as to why it was in the trash. Oops. Art work just isn’t something I’m sentimental about, apparently.
I take too much advantage of the fact that my kids cannot tell time. Also, the youngest two have no real concept of time, so I overly abuse that too. I’ve been known to tell my kids its their usual 8PM bedtime, when it’s really only 7PM. Hey, what they don’t know can’t hurt them. My oldest is slowly starting to be able to tell time and understand hours versus minutes, so I’m going to milk this as long as I can.
Yikes. Now that I’m actually putting these confessions to paper I realize that there are SO many more I could share. Am I proud? Not really. But am I ashamed either? Nope. Do you have a confession to share? Well, I know you do, but do you have a confession that you are WILLING to share? Three ways to do so…
1. Comment below!
2. If you’re feeling really brave, comment on today’s Mommy Diatribes Facebook post and get the conversation started.
3. If you would rather remain anonymous, send your confession to MommyDiatribes@gmail.com.
I’ll compile my favorite Mom Confessions into a blog post to be shared Monday, February 12th. The purpose of Mom Confession Monday is to create an outlet, a safe place, a place to support one another. Only rule? Keep it clean, ladies. Although, my confession about skipping bath isn’t exactly clean, you know what I mean.
Remember, whatever your confession may be, I can guarantee you aren’t the only one.
