Confessions of parent bloggers! – Mummascribbles

I have a confession to make.

First thing on a weekend morning, while Zach is eating his breakfast, or chilling out, I make a cup of tea. Whilst I am drinking that cup of tea, I am eating a chocolate biscuit. Zach does not know about this chocolate biscuit. If he did, he would want one and it is only (sort of) acceptable for a grown adult to be eating one at that time of the morning. I therefore go to extraordinary lengths to hide it. This involved breaking it into eatable pieces, wrapping it in a piece of kitchen towel and popping it in my dressing gown pocket, with the kitchen towel opened correctly enough for me to dip in easily and retrieve a piece in secret!

Shocking huh?!

It was while I was thinking about this act of deceit, that I thought that there must be a lot of parents out there with equally shocking confessions. And so I thought I would make a post about it. I hand over to a lovely group of fellow bloggers who have revealed their biggest parenting confessions!

I was always so hungover on new years day, that I told my kids it was the shortest day of the year and we got up at lunchtime and as soon as it was dark at 4pm we had to go back to bed. They believed me until the oldest was about 9.

Using baby wipes to clean the kitchen floor (yogurt mess!), wipe over the bathroom if we have visitors and just about everything else in the house

I have a secret in the night garden DVD which input on after a long day an hour early so that my daughter thinks it’s bed time!

I pretend to clean the kitchen and snack on the kids treats when I have told them no.
Or I hide in the bathroom with them and snack away.

I often pretend Heidi is unwell so Craig’s mum takes Dexter to nursery for me – I have to hide her upstairs when she comes to collect him

Locked Sprog in the car, he’d been playing with the keys, I threw them in the front seat, went round & couldn’t open the door he was fine but I spent 20 minutes dancing and jumping around like a prat whilst someone collected hubby’s key for me!

Eating baby biscuits when there’s nothing else in! My daughter doesn’t like them anyway!

Telling Sienna that anything such as dried mango or the nakd nibbles you get are ‘grown up sweeties’ and she loves it, she likes them better than ‘baby sweeties’ wink emoticon

Telling the children a movie they wanted to see at the cinema was no longer showing as I thought it sounded absolutely rubbish! I did buy it when it came out on Blu-ray however so they could watch it without me!
