It’s Tuesday, which is just another way of saying Monday, so to get us through the week I have 2 things for you: the first is a Giveaway that would be the perfect Mother’s or Father’s Day gift so hurry and check it out here and enter to win, it’s super easy! And the second is Mom Confessions Part 3! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these and just to be clear, this is not an apology or a list of things I feel guilty about. In fact, it’s more of a hey-I’m-not-perfect-and-none-of-us-are-so-air-your-dirty-laundry-for-the-world-to-see-and-laugh-about-it kinda post.
Mom Confessions Part 3:
- Looking for your phone… while ON your phone. I am embarrassed to admit how frequently this happens to me. I will be sitting there just scrolling through Facebook and realize that I want to look something up or call my mom or whatever and I look around the room for my phone only to realize it’s IN MY HANDS.
- Putting books and toys in my daughter’s crib to prolong her nap. Okay, this one might not be so much as a confession as it is a tip for moms. I always put a book and a small toy in the corner of her crib so that she will play and read for a little bit before calling for me to come get her. It always buys me at least another 15-30 minutes. You’re welcome!
- Realizing your baby hasn’t had a bath in 6 days and counting. In all fairness, it’s not like my child is rolling around in mud, but there have been a couple of times when I’ve had that oh shit moment and realized that I should probably give my kid a bath.
- I have taken more poops in public restrooms while holding my child on my lap than I’d like to admit. First of all, before I became a mother, I had no idea that when you’re in a public place and you have to use the bathroom, holding your child on your lap is really your only option (this is assuming they can’t walk yet and you don’t have the stroller with you). Whhyyyyyy did nobody tell me this? And don’t tell me “I don’t go in public bathrooms.” Sometimes you just gotta.
And I’m gonna just leave you with this (insert poop emoji here). You can check out more mom confessions here and here. What’s your best (or worst) mom confession? Go ahead and share in the comments, it’ll feel good to get it off your chest. 😉

XO,

YES YES to all of these. Oh man. I have taken a poop while WEARING my sleeping toddler in a baby carrier because you know there is NO way I was waking him up. And I’m kind of ashamed the say that it was well over a week after we got the go ahead before I bathed my (second) newborn. With a toddler to deal with, night time tubs kept slipping my mind until I was like, okay, this is getting ridiculous ha!
I’ve definitely looked for my phone while it was in my hand!! Also I realized today that we are loooong overdue for bath time! I love real and honest posts like this!
Thank you so much, Francesca!
Pooping while nursing has always been my fave :-/
Omg, yep! That definitely belongs on this list!
You think the phone thing is bad? BEFORE I had kids, I freaked out thinking I completely lost my car keys WHILE DRIVING. Shortly after that, I freaked out that I forgot my phone at school WHILE TALKING TO MY THEN-BOYFRIEND ON IT. So don’t feel bad. It happens. Now I freak out that I forgot my kids when they are just quiet in their seats watching movies on the van’s DVD player that I turned on for them after listening to their requests. Yep.
Hahaha! Oh that is too funny! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
