Ok, friends. It’s here…MOM CONFESSION MONDAY! The spirit of Mom Confession Monday is two-fold. First, to add a little humor to the start of the week. Monday is the worst, but hopefully these confessions help get your week off to a good start. Second, to prove that we are never alone. If you have something to confession, chances are I have been there too.
Here are the top 10 Mom Confessions submitted by readers and followers of Mommy Diatribes. We’re a sick bunch 🙂
10. When my kids would question my decisions with a good old ‘why’ I would say ‘because the man said so.’ There was no man, but to them, it sounded serious. They never asked who this man was and I never told that he was made up.
9. My 4-year-old recently started dropping f-bombs. I’m just pretending this problem doesn’t exist and praying I don’t get a call from her teachers that she used the F word in perfect context.
8. Pop-tarts are a delicacy in my house.
7. Sometimes I wash the same load of laundry multiple times because I’m too lazy to put the load into the dryer or fold it. #doublework #whywhywhy
6. I hide the long books at bedtime. Same, friend, same.
5. Every so often one of my kids will yell for me in the middle of the night. When I go into their room, they will sometimes ask for a glass of water. My go-to response? ‘Ok, I’ll go get you water but you go back to bed in the meantime.’ I never bring them the water.
4. I lie to my 5-year-old about the last time he got a bath. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.
3. When my boys ask where babies come from (not how they are conceived but how they exit the body) I ignore the question and change the subject. There are just some things they don’t need to know right now…
2. We do homework more in the mornings before school than we ever do in the evenings. When my kids ask why, I just say ‘we’re morning people’ when in reality, I forgot to have them do it the night before.
1. I have a favorite child and I’m not ashamed. I will never tell you who my favorite is, but I have one.
Number 9. Number 9! That is not my confession but it could be. I have a mouthy 3-year-old and I could have written that confession myself but I didn’t. I’m with you, momma’s! That’s what Mom Confession Monday is all about, friends. I’ve learned several things from this MCM. One, laundry is our nemesis. Two, bedtime is a mess in everyone’s house, not just mine. And three? We all have much more in common than we think.
Thank you to everyone who participated and played along! Mom Confession Monday is a monthly series on Mommy Diatribes so if you didn’t submit a confession this month, you’ll have another opportunity soon.
As always, I have a confession hidden in the top 10 list (and I swear it is not number 9!), can you guess which one? I’ll let you know next month when I’m feeling really brave, but today just isn’t that day 🙂
