## _We are all trying to do our best, and be the best mothers we can be. But sometimes, it’s just about getting to the end of the day alive right?!_

Here are some of my not-so-perfect mum confessions”� I’m sure you can secretly relate
to a few! (Or I’m just a really crappy mum)

 1.  I didn’t take my daughter to her swimming lesson because it was cold and I didn’t
     want to get in the pool myself.
 2.  I smelt poo, but I waited till my husband noticed it so I didn’t have to change
     it.
 3.  Sometimes I fantasise about getting in my car and running away, or at least going
     to get McNuggets.
 4.  I feed the baby packet puree because I didn’t have time/couldn’t be bothered making
     it.
 5.  I gave�my toddler Phenergan on the plane so she would�sleep the whole flight. (
     It was awesome)
 6.  I leave the house with spew on my shoulders because I figure it’s just going to
     get spewed on again anyway.
 7.  I dropped my toddler�off at daycare without breakfast because I was late for work
     and I knew they would feed her.⌊Eyeroll⌉
 8.  I accidentally clipped my babies finger when cutting her nails and made it bleed(
     I was pretty upset about this one).
 9.  I told my daughter her annoying phone toy was broken when really I just removed
     the batteries.
 10. I force the kids to take a nap at midday so I can watch Ellen in peace.
 11. I fed my kids baked beans for dinner because there was nothing ‘easy’ in the house
     to cook.
 12. I skip pages in the book when reading to my kids at bedtime.
 13. I use my kids to get out of social engagements all the time.�_“Sorry babe, the
     babies really sick so were gonna stay home.”⌊Baby fall⌉_
 14. I claim my forgetfulness is because I had a shit night sleep, but really my kids
     slept through, I just suck at remembering things.
 15. I put the baby down crying, then walked out the room and shut the door to save
     my sanity.
 16. I let my toddler eat from the bag of grapes while we’re shopping just to keep 
     her quiet.
 17. I claimed the kids were high maintenance and crying all day just so I didn’t have
     to cook dinner.
 18. I ask my MIL to ‘watch the kids for an hour’ but then come back in three.
 19. When I pull up in the driveway, I sit in the car for ages with the kids strapped
     in just so I can reply to texts/make phone calls/Snapchat/check Instagram.
 20. I have a ‘wine allowance’ in our weekly shopping budget
