Why I am a Bad Mom vol. 2

Things that I have said or thought this past week:

"It will just come out in her poop, and it's not choking her, so don't worry."

"It doesn't kill the dogs, so she can probably eat it."

"It's not like she can put the whole thing in her mouth."

"Crying will not kill her."

"If I give her the bottle with the too-slow nipple it will take a lot longer for her to eat and I can take a shower."

"I'll read to her when she can read."

"She doesn't understand that that is a corpse on tv; she thinks it is pretty and colorful."

"She doesn't know that song is objectifying women. She likes the beat."

"How did she get soaking wet? She'll dry."

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and yes.

My favorite was when I found him eating a card envelope around 7 months. He had blue paper speckled poop for a few days. He's still alive.

She'll have a great immune system!

For these reasons and so much more, you Jen, are my hero.

I see no problem with any of those things! Find me a mother who hasn't done/thought those and I will show you someone who is in the minority!!
