The Parenting Wall of Shame...

[Schmickers]

LOL ... a couple of nights ago, we had planned to get a takeaway dinner, and DW and I wanted KFC. Well, up pipes Molly and announces that she wants McDonalds.

After a period of negotiation, we finally manage to compromise - Molly will have her nuggets from KFC, but she really wants her chippies from McDonalds.

At this point, DW picks up the phone, pretends to ring Mr McDonald, and then announces to Molly sadly that McDonalds is all out of chips!

I hereby nominate my DW for the first position on the Parenting Wall of Shame!

Go on, share your stories - what have you done to try and escape the inexorable logic of your children?

My children are convinced that the shelves around the checkout are full of yucky cat food. Which sometimes leads to some funny looks when my children see someone with a Mars-Bar etc and start screaming simultaneously, eewww yuckies, loook cat foood. It nearly got nasty about a month ago when a slummy-mummy thought that Yasin was saying ewww yucky about her daughter not the confectionary in her hand.

I'm so embarrased to join the wall of shame!!!

Matilda was caught in a vicious screaming cycle.... almost an hour of screaming for every reason. I said, If you keep screaming, DoCS will come and take you away from me & that would make me very sad. Well.... its grown from then. If the phone rings while she's having a tantrum, she will stop immediately & say "I'm sorry!!!" I asked her why today and she said "Was it the police on the phone going to take me away?"

PMSL!!!

Thanks everyone. Don't have any I remember from back in the day but I'm sooooo gonna hang onto phoning Mr McDonald when the need arises in future!

Our dvd player "gets tired and has to go to sleep" after playing Dora so that we don't have to keep watching it over and over and over!

I'm just waiting for Kiki to come and dob on Michael LOL!

I remember when we were at the pharmacy warehouse a long time ago, Jack was walking down the aisles and telling me what everything was. When we walked past the tins of baby formula, he pointed to it and said "cat food". In my defence, I never told him that's what it was and TBH I have no idea why he thought it was cat food (he'd never seen a tin of formula so I guess he just didn't know what it was). But I did say something to the effect of "well not quite but we'll go with that" to save explaining that actually not all babies drink only from their mummies .

I have told Jack that the Police will stop us from driving if he doesn't have his straps on . And I'm pretty sure I've also told him that we've run out of things I don't want him to eat . And there are probably others but that's enough confessions for one night.

this is a great thread, my DD still probably a bit young for this, but I often say to her (not that she understands), 'if you sleep well for mummy tonight, then we'll go to xxxxx tomorrow' (where xxxx is mothers group, her cousins etc).

[Heaven]

this is a crack up.

DH use to work with a guy who told his DS and DD that when Mr Whippy plays music it means they've run out of icecream

[Amity]

I've heard that one before CeCe!!! It's great!

This Mummy can't open lollypops so we can't buy them....

When she was prg with her second set of twins (yeh, she has two sets ) my best friend used to tell her older two that her Nutri Grain was medicine to help the babies grow big and strong so she didn't have to share it with them LOL!

Kameron was misbehaving a few days before easter this year. He was really doing my head in. So I calmly picked up the phone and spoke to teh Easter Bunny to say Kameron didn't need eggs this year cause he was naughty. I then hung up the phone. Kameron heard let out a high pitched scream and burst into tears.

I had visitors as well at the time and they were gobsmacked that I did that ! LOL

ROFL thats a classic Kat

I'm going to add my parents to this.

My sister and I had a rabbit each. One morning there was only one rabbit. They told us that the other one must have escaped.

Years later, they admitted THEY HAD SOLD IT TO A FRIEND BECAUSE THEY WERE SHORT OF CASH!

Shame, shame, shame.

One time my boys were being so loud and constantly yelling and I said.. If you keep yelling the yelling monster will come and get cross at you.. About 2 seconds later Ds2 yelled really loud and the front door slammed. they came running screaming and the wer eliterally shaking.. Boy I felt guilty then.. First and last time I have threatened a monster Damn it was funny though

I tell my kids that my sister has a direct line to Santa

On a trip to Ikea Ds 1 wanted to go into the glassed play area, Dh said that wasn't a playgrund those kids were for sale. and we didn't have enough money so we weren't going to buy one that day HAHA.. The looks he got then were priceless..

Ds 1 was in a foul mood and told me he was going to ring the police on me.. We were out driving at the time so I pulled up in front of the police station and said ok lets go.....

We have done the easter bunny one and Santa as well..

Ds 1 was around 4 and Dh rang him (pretending to be Santa) and told him if he didn't start being good to mummy (used the intercom thing on the phone) Then Santa wasn't going to come.. When Ds 1 got off the phone I asked him who it was He grinned and Saod Santa and that he is going to bring me lots and lots of toys.. So that one backfired..

hmm.. I think I am a bad parent I have so many more to add to the list
