Unexpected downfalls of being a parent....
Replies
-
These have made me smile! My recent ones (not down falls, but little quirks that brighten my day) include:
finding mini pink wellies and toys in the washing machine
Losing car keys, to find them in toy boxes
A work phone that is always dead, as little hands like to press the buttons lots!
And Finding toys stuffed in coat pockets0 -
Downfalls? Hm. I guess the fact that I can't come home from work and go to sleep if I feel tired.0

I woke up with a barbie shoe in my ear well in my hair with the toe of the shoe in my ear0

Having to explain to the police that there was no real emergency when my son called 911 trying to get his sister locked up for being mean.0
-
Knowing the colors and names of ALL the Power Rangers. (My middle son is obsessed with that show.... and its the most annoying show EVER)0

She sneezes...during dinner...I am covered in carrots0

Oh and walking around singing all day "climb on board, get ready to explore, there's so much to know...little einsteins!" #earworm0

@ OP, please there is no need to become emo.
Having a little bit of drool or vomit on my shoulder with every single shirt I own.
Having pandora quick mix on my phone suddenly have toddler music on.0 -

Going to work sporting a flouresent green spongebob band aid.
You know the drill, add your own!0 -
I get plenty of practice spackling and painting now...
Re-decorating every couple of years. I just finishished re-painting my son's room (since he outgrew Thomas the Train a few years ago)
The other day, I realized Sponge Bob was playing on the TV... and the had kid left for school 2 hours before! (talk about blocking out noise!)
Finding rocks in the washing machine... or worse, hearing them when the dryer starts.
Hearing crickets... tearing the living room apart to find and kill the cricket... only to find out my son had been playing on my iphone and left a game on (thus the cricket sounds)
Ground in candy on the carpet (mommy, this is hard... let me get the scissors... NOOOOO!)
The way they can mis-interpret information.... "and that's how Jesus became one of the living dead."0 -
Had a Lego fall out of my shirt at Target once.0

I'm pretty sure the only time I get to use the bathroom alone is when I am at work. And I relish the moment. Yesterday my 2 yo was brushing her teeth and the 1 yo was on my lap for my longer bathroom break. I wish I could find a creative way to use the bathroom in peace!0

Noticing when talking to someone at the grocery store that you have half-digested milk on your shoulder.0

I found my daughter's missing purple sock when it started smoldering in the toaster.
I guess her feet must have been cold??0 -
I seriously have OCD about germs. I REFUSE to use public bathrooms. I would much rather pop-a-squat (not that I ever have instead of using a public bathroom) than to have to enter the germ infested bathroom somewhere. Now that my 2 year old is potty trained I have to use public restrooms. GROSS!!!0

I'm feeling really sick today and I can't be sick. Moms aren't allowed to be sick and since I'm a single Mom I have no one to help me, that make me want to cry, but I can't cry because I don't want to upset my children.
I know this feeling
Me too. When the kids start sniffling, I do into vitamin and lysol mode. Must. Not. Get. Sick! (I hope this passes you on by and you can stay well!)
Putting the kids to bed and realizing Im still watching Spongebob.
Legos. Stepping on those dang things HURTS.
Little handprints on my pants. My littlest loves to wrap her arms around my thighs. I always have something gross on my pants.0 -
Im not a parent but Iam in childcare so the children I take care of are pretty much my own kids through the hours 8am-5pm. Yeah I call the toilet "potty" Yo gabba gabba is my favorite show I had 2 busted lips I can recite Green Eggs and Ham in my sleep. *My adult friends love it when I recite the book* I can hold a conversation about Spongebob and Spiderman lol poop joke crack me up. I love kids cant wait till I get married and have my own lmao0

Randomly feeling the urge to spout out, "there's a party in my tummy, so yummy, so yummy"
Feeling secretly anxious to see the new Dragonball Z episode
Fighting the urge to bust out laughing when my 3 year old walked into his older sisters room and yelled "what the hell is going on in here?"

Halloween Candy0

Grocery shopping with my 2 yo. Every box or bag is "mine" and must be opened and tasted. I don't hand him the produce which causes instant melt down . . . why do they have to put that at the front of the store?0
