Ya'll know what award I am talking about - the worst mom of the year award - yea, I am SOOOO taking it home this year.
And why...
Do you really need more than one example....
The following scene played out in my kitchen, my husband was getting my youngest son's dose of antibotics ready, this would be his third round of antibotics for the same ear infection that we have had since Christmas. ANNNNNDDDD ACTION!
Me: Aren't you going to Andrew his full dose?
J: Um...I am?
Me: No you aren't....that is no way enough of a dose.
J: Um......yea it is. How much have YOU been giving him?
Me: Let me see that bottle....
(Sarah looks at bottle - and then gasps)
J: How MUCH have you been giving him?
Me: Well, it was only 2 doses, and I thought the bottle said a teaspoon and a half, not a half of a teaspoon.
J: And that is why he has been pooping his brains out....
Ok in theory, it isn't that bad....BUT - when your kid is pooping upwards 6 times a day, you get somewhat tired of him pooping all the time. Come to find out - it was my fault. And I did think that it was a teaspoon and half. Of Omincef. Um........
It was an innocent mistake - it really was.....does that mean I am dis-qualified from the award? I heard there is a dance, a dinner and a trophy and all....and I really want to get dressed up.

ReplyDeleteNope....off for three days and fever is back. Mean baby soon follows, and the anti-sleep baby too....Back to the doc we go.
ReplyDeleteThat's not that bad. You and I both know that there are much worse mothers out there...
