Guilty Things Moms Secretly Do -- Part 2

My Toddlers Eat Pizza For Breakfast:
"My kids have pizza for breakfast . At least they are eating something  and have food in their stomachs . I would rather feed them a non-traditional breakfast than have them be hungry !"

I Throw Away My Kids Artwork :
"If it doesn't make me laugh or cry , objects  d'art  have got to go . I'm a neat freak , so before I became a mother , or at least until the kids hit preschool , I was able to maintain a minimalist household . Now my house is gasping for air beneath an avalanche of construction paper . My kids generate a minimum of one piece of artwork  a day , and that's conservative . Therefore , I throw the art work away on the sly."

I Scold Other People's Kids :
"If a child comes in my house and starts breaking rules . I'll scold them if their parentss refuse to . I treat all children the same. I demand respect as well as give respect."

I'm On Vacation , But My Kid Is Still Going To day Care:
"My husband and I have a few days off work , but we still plan on taking  our daughter to day care one of  the days . We are paying for it  and we never get a break . I personally think that any spare moment you can  spend with your child is priceless, but sometimes its nice to have a day to yourself . She will play , paint , do crafts and have a good time . So I figure no harm done ."

I Would Dye My Toddler's Hair :
"My son is still a baby and doesn't have hair yet , but if his hair grows in red , I will be sad , I will seriously consider dying his hair if it is really red . I just love brown / blonde hair."

I favor My Older Child :
"I favor my 8-year-old . My 8-year-old is much easier to deal with , while my 6-year-old throws constant tantrums . Even though I feel that way , they get treated equally . I think a lot of mothers secretly favor one child over the other , either because one is easier to deal with , sweeter , cuter , whatever the reason . You can't help what you feel  inside."

I Let My Toddler Eat Food Before Paying For It :
"I let my son eat  or drink food from the grocery store before actually buying it . I see nothing wrong with it . It keeps him content  and I plan to pay for it, so what's the big deal? I've gotten dirty looks fot it several times and I can't understand why."

I Find Excuses to Send My Kids to Bed Early :
"I once made an excuse why my kids was in trouble  , so they would have to go to bed early that night ... so I could get a break !" Another mom also admits , "I've told my toddler it was bedtime when it was really an hour earlier  , so I could put him to sleep and watch my favorite TV show ."

Parents beware of your actions with your  chldren ...you are the ones they will learn their values from.  But hey , that's just me !
