I will never be nominated for Mother of the year Award thread

[Hornetkc5]

So my 12 and 13 year old asked my mother to buy neon bands for a Blacklight dance so they could make headbands for the dance. 25.00 later my girls thought they were dumb but told my mom how cool they were. My oldest in picture confided in me saying they looked gay but didn't want to hurt nonas feelings and that she would not wear them to the dance! So I dawned the cool neon bracelets and waste bands quietly got ahold of the principal and asked the to announce a special guest and put on the YMCA! LMAO the kids formed a circle for the guest! Tada it was me my kids were mortified! I never felt so special with all the kids chanting my name! I made the year book! The principal loves me! It was great!

I seriously laughed so hard because of this I cried.

My boyfriend looked at me like I was crazy, so I read it to him, and he just continued to look at me.

Oh well, I thought it was funny.

oh that happened to me in jr. high. My sister joked like that until I had to ride the short bus because it was the only one that did that route for my jr. high. Btw, I don't have kids but I enjoy the thread. The stories are great. As for the tantrums, some older kids who throw tantrums could also have developmental problems, not just a lack of parenting, but thats just my two cents

I feel just slightly sorry for your kids. I bet they were mortified at the moment but I bet a lot of the other kids thought that it was pretty cool that you would do that!!! I would have personally peed my pants because I was laughing so hard.

Never forget that your children will choose your nursing home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha yeah they remind me all the time! Now the girls were embarrased but they still talk about it until this day! My oldest seen running with her mouth opened told me the next day she learned a very big lesson and she loved me and I was the crazy cool mom! All the kid come to me for rides etc and still talk about my neon wear! LOL when the kids make me mad I tell them can't wait for prom!!!

Well I dont have kids yet so I can't chime in regarding the award. But I did have fun reading the stories.
The butter incident, well my brother beat that hands down.
He was 2.. Mom was preggers with me, still with morning sickness and such. Brother got put down in his crib for a nap... after some time Mom opened up the door to a nightmare. He had pooed in his diaper, taken it off.. and used the poo as finger paint. He got the crib plastered with 'paint', his face, and the walls streaked with it. Mom took one look, shut the door, and went to go retch in the toilet. She made my father go look at what he had done... he came back and refused to help clean it up. So mom suffered the horror of dragging that crib outside, hosing it down, and the kid, and wanting to be sick the whole time. Poor momma. This was the same kid who had all the child-proof devices figured out as a toddler. Mom had to call him over and ask him to help her plug the vaccum in, and open the cupboard for the cleaning supplies, LOL. He used the ears of his Mickey mouse alarm clock to pry up the floor air vents, and then crawled down it head first and got stuck. Mom came into the room to see her toddler with only his legs sticking out of the floor.
When I was a few months old... We had to go in to the doctor for one of us kids.. and the doctor left the room. Mom had to change my diaper, so she was turned around messing with the diaper and fussing over me. The doctor finally came back in the room and said something that got her attention.. and she whirled around to see that while she was distracted... brother had climbed up on the counter, found some handy little items, and set about dismantling the doctors sink. It was in peices, the faucet off and the handles seperate... and Mom hadn't heard a thing. LOL! That boy was a terror. Before he was 5 he had almost drowned himself in the pond in the dead of winter.. got hit by lightning (while sitting on his bicycle and holding a rain gutter)... ran between a horses legs while she was spooked at a snake (fortunately, she was a marvelous girl and froze when he did that)... fell off the top of the highest bale of hay on a fully loaded trailer.. onto the ground.... Oh it goes on. Nevermind the things he did after 5.....

Me? I was perfect! Hehehehe!

Mom never did stand for those supermarket meltdowns either... though I never threw one... but brother would be told he had 5 seconds to cut it out or he would have his pants pulled down and his butt spanked in front of everyone in the store... geee the looks people will give you for saying that.
I, on the other hand... had a giggling problem in stores. Something about having a fun girls outing and maybe a cookie.. Mom and I shared our sense of humor back then... so once, when I was 10, she said something, I dont even know what... and I giggled sporadically for the entire shopping trip, and it was a big shop too.... all the way around the store, with people giving me strange looks, but I just couldn't stop myself. So, finally, we get to the checkout.. and the fellow doing the bagging brings up a small paper bag, snaps it open, and hands it to me... he says he heard me coming all the way around the store and I better try to breathe before I hyperventilate.
