You let them get away with it!!!

Admit it. There are things that you know are wrong. Just plain wrong.
Or things that you should never let the kids do or see you do.
But you do/did.

Let’s have those confessions folks…don’t be shy…it’s just us here…

chalo let me estart…

yes, shoot me, I let her have chocolate ice cream for breakfast once or twice.

You let them get away with it!!!

My baby is only 4 months, but if I just want to sit peacefully for 5 minutes I will let him watch tv :blush:

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

good one!
4 months is pretty early…he watches?

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

Sigh. I like watching mine dance. So he dances to youtube vids of music.

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

i let my niece’s 3 month old baby to get into my arms and i rock her to sleep! she has picked up this bad habit of not going to sleep unless someone rocks her. my niece rightly blames me…and she is bent upon breaking her habit…the baby cries a little less now before going to sleep…i think the baby will listen to me! :smiley:

Our older one shows up at our bedside few times a week with sad face, begging that she just can’t sleep alone tonight. We let her get in, and then because we feel guilty about leaving the little one alone in girls room, one of us gets up and sleep with her.

Actually I don’t count this as them getting away with it. I know that kids should start sleeping alone, but I am a very huge opponent of doing anything by force that creates emotional insecurity or some kind of fear in them. Plus I must admit, I miss them so much the whole day and in the evening they go to bed early, that I hope for them to show up at our bedside late at night. In fact our bed is so huge that both of them can get in and we won’t touch each other, except that the young one started kicking the comforter off her and eventually off everyone.

He stares at the screen. I think it’s the lights and colors that intrigue him

I let my 3.5 yo watch some extra TV if I want to do something.I just made her do that last evening.
She sleeps in our bed.We have made peace with it.We do not like it a lot though.
I let her eat pretzels instead of fruit sometimes for her evening snack.

I am sure there will be more stuff too…:confused:

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

If mine would leave my bed she’d have a chance to come back to it… :cb:

And pretzels aren’t so bad…

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

We work hard so we can spoil them and I take pride in it :slight_smile:

  • MacDonald’s fries for lunch every so often
  • On the weekend I let them have ‘two’ play-doh cups each to play with
  • Both girls can have any clothing they want when we go shopping (we came back with a hello kitty leotard and a tutu skirt couple of weeks ago) :wub:

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

Sumtime when i want relax, i let my baby boy (8 months) see songs on tv, just for 5-10mins. As hubby dnt like it at all.

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

It is the amount of pretzels and then they ruin dinner for her…:confused:

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

More often than necessary, I let my kid wear a costume (dress up), princess or superhero, to the grocery store with me. The plus side is, everyone stops and stares and makes a comment, usually full of smiles.

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

pretty much the same. except i like it that she sleeps with us. she’s like a nice warm teddybear that kicks us in the face randomly.

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

My toddler recently picked up a bad word and instead of giving him time out I recorded him (he sounded and acted so cute and no it wasn’t the F word) on my cell and sent it to mom, hubby and sibs.

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

Keep ‘em comin
Lovin’ this thread :smiley:
Cute stuff…

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

Neither of my kids likes to sleep in our bed… but would rather us come out of ours and sleep in theirs :confused:

many a times, due to exhaustion and the need to go to work in the morning, the hubby or I have strapped the kid in the car and driven them around to put them to sleep… shoot me!

And yes, I rock bubbity to sleep, on days when he just doesnt fall asleep feeding (that too is a horrible habbit)… I have gone down a dress size just cus of it. So thank you :kiss:

I am the worst mother.. it seems :crying:

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

Play doh is fabulous for kids, let them play with it through out the week and not only on week. It is a great material to strenghten the fine and gross motor skills and is a great tool to teach and reinforce other academic skills.

Re: You let them get away with it!!!

  • My husband deliberately holds my hands to make the elder one jealous… i dont know why he finds it amusing :smiley:

  • 2 days ago i used chocolate to bribe my kid into getting dressed for school (first time, and iA last)

  • kid thinks she’s having chips in milk for breakfast when its actually cereal.

Watching a few too many youtube videos when I’m busy in the kitchen. Which kind of backfires in the long run cause she becomes antsy and restless with excessive entertainment
