Momlogic: Lazy Mom Confessions

Here's mine:

Sometimes I pretend to be holed up in the bathroom on the toilet just so I can sit in there for as long as I want and read a magazine. I mean, who’s gonna bother you on the toilet doing “that”?



I got this from http://www.momlogic.com/


As moms, we have too much to do and not enough time to do it. Here, we confess our sins.
momlogic's Melissa: As a mother, have you ever done something in the privacy of your own home that you'd be horrified if other people knew about? Are you afraid they might think you're dirty, careless, lazy, or worst of all ... a bad mother?
Well, even the best moms in the world have dirty little secrets and lazy moments that we hide from the rest of the world for fear of being judged. And because I am sick of feeling guilty all the time, I decided to find out what they were. If anything, I thought it would make me feel better about not washing my son's hair for weeks on end because I can't deal with the "battle" that ensues each and every time he sees a bottle of shampoo.
In order to protect the identities of the moms involved (and to ensure that social services aren't called -- just kidding), I'm not using any names. When you read what these lazy moms have to say, you'll see why.
Lazy Mom Confession #1: "Sometimes, if my baby poops after dinner, I leave him in his diaper because I know in a matter of 10 to 20 minutes, I will be giving him a bath ... I sometimes leave my baby's sheets on his crib for a week or two longer than I should. It's a pain in the ass to change. I'm also sometimes too lazy to cut and peel grapes for him so I bite them in my mouth and hand them to him instead."
Lazy Mom Confession #2: "I'm not really sure where to start. Sometimes if my child pees in the bed and only a little bit gets on the sheets, I won't change them -- gross! Also, I call my dogs over rather than actually pick up fallen food myself. And last, but not least, I NEVER take my kid to the park -- because I can't stand it. So mean."
Lazy Mom Confession #3: "When cleaning up around the house, I sometimes pick up little objects and stray pieces of paper ...and rather than asking if they belong to anyone, I just toss them in the trash. I usually regret doing this, because invariably, they end up being someone's coveted now-missing item and the blame is mine. I am also frequently too lazy to separate recyclables from basic garbage and end up lumping it all together in basic trash. And lastly, rather than saving dinner leftovers that I know I could recreate into a morning omelet or side dish, I just toss them down the garbage disposal."
Lazy Mom Confession #4: "I don't give kids baths every night ... we do every other.The house is usually a mess unless we're having guests over , because we just don't have time for deep cleaning. The area behind my TV looks like a dust bowl. Can't even begin to deal with that. HORRIBLE!"
Lazy Mom Confession #5: "Sometimes when I don't have enough time to give my 2-year-old a bath, I give her a quick sponge bath with baby wipes."
Are you guilty of being a lazy mom? If so we want to hear from you -- we promise we won't tell.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, I think I can pick at least one from each lazy Mom... I would never leave my kid in a poopy diaper though... sick. But I do throw away random small toys, Have my dogs get any droped food, and also my house has been pretty messy lately Unless I know people are coming over.

I seriously laughed out loud! Thought you were spying at my house. Thanks for the laugh. Oh and p.s. MY CHILDREN do not care what I'm doing in the bathroom - my 5 year old and 2 year old come in anyway!
