Reason #14 I’m a Bad Mom: I win unfairly, and then I rub it in

Author: Marie Category: 1000 Reasons I'm a Bad Mom, Stories from the Trenches

Tuesday

Try to top that for sheer evil.

Say I’m trying to put a t-shirt on C but he’s determined to go topless. We wrangle. He rolls over and tries to crawl away. I grab him by the ankles and pull him towards me. He flips over and lands on his back. I blow a raspberry at him, and take advantage of his momentary distraction to get the shirt over his head. He flips and makes a run for it again, but even as he’s crawling I take first one hand and then the other and slip them through the sleeves. I then release him and wait.

When he is finally free, he crawls what he considers a safe distance before turning to me with a triumphant look on his face… until he realises he is actually wearing the damned thing. The confusion in his face is priceless.

But this, this is the really evil part:

At this point I usually point at him, say “Mama 1, Baby 0″ and do a fist pump.

(Let’s all pause for a moment to let that sink in.)

C will run away from home before he’s 3 years old, and it will all be my fault.

I give my almost 2-year old the classic, “You mess with the bull, you gonna get the horns, boy,” line from “The Breakfast Club.”

HA! I do that all the time to my son!! I’ll even drag him back into the room by the ankles (with him laughing mind you), pick him up and toss him on the bed :) I’ve been known to sit on his legs too (he’s almost 4)
