Mom Confessions Part 2

Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had the sweetest Valentine’s Day and got a chance to check out my adorable Valentine’s Day craft. Last month I wrote my very first Mom Confessions post as a part of a little irregular series I’m doing on the blog. It’s just a short list of things that sometimes make me wonder: am I the only one that does this? Am I a bad mom because of it? And how do other moms manage to make motherhood look so perfect? So today, I have Mom Confessions Part 2!

Mom Confessions Part 2

1. Calling Olivia a pita. I love and adore my daughter, but like all children, she has her moments of unnecessary whining and crying. And when those moments happen, I often call her my Little Pita. One might think I am referring to the delicious mediterranean bread that you stuff with yummy goodness like hummus or salad. But nope. It’s actually an acronym for Pain In The Ass. #badmom
2. Watching Ellen for the last hour until hubby comes home. Yes, I know that screen time is the devil for babies and their eyeballs are going to melt if you let them watch and your child is going to be infinitely smarter than mine and I’m a terrible mom. But do you know how long that last hour before your husband comes home can be? Especially as a stay at home mom. So if on occasion I have to turn Ellen on for my baby and me to watch, IDGAF.
3. Mommy has a potty mouth. I am pretty sure that Olivia’s first word is going to be f*ck. I curse all the time and I know it’s probably going to come back and bite me in the tushy, but I was further convinced not to worry about it after reading this: 5 Reasons I Don’t Give An Eff About Swearing In Front of My Kids.
4. Sitting in the grocery store parking lot to go on social media. The other day Eric and I didn’t know what to do for dinner and so while he fed the baby, I ran to the store to pick up something easy (i.e. frozen pizza). And as I pulled into my parking space, I sat there for a solid ten minutes scrolling through Instagram. It was glorious not to have tiny little fingers prying the phone out of my hands.
5. Freaking out on my husband. Last night I was trying to do something on my computer but my laptop wasn’t cooperating. I tried and tried again and I still couldn’t manage to figure it out. I said out loud to Eric, “this is SO annoying!” and made a little “grrrrr” sound. I promise you that I was not irate or huffing and puffing or throwing a tantrum, but yes, I was frustrated, that’s all. And then Eric said those words that no man is ever supposed to say to a woman: “Relax, calm down.” And then sh*t hit the fan. And if there’s a man out there reading this and wondering what’s so bad about saying that? Then I encourage you to read this.

Okay, now that I’ve confessed everything, tell me I’m not the only one that does these things. Please! Anyone? I’d love to hear your confessions! I promise not to tell! 😉
