Since we’re stepping inside the momfessional this week, I’m giving up a few of my parenting-fail secrets.
1. I look really organized on the outside, but don’t open my closets, drawers, or cabinets – they are a mess. Just open the door, toss crap in, slam door. As my grandma used to say, “Out of sight…out of mind.”

2. Sometimes when I’m on the computer at home, I tell my son that I’m working when I’m really just browsing websites or reading re-caps of tv shows that I never get to watch.
3. I hide chocolate because I don’t want to share it with my family. It’s mine…mine…all mine (insert maniacal laugh here)!!
4. I’ve told hubby that I’m going to the gym and gone shopping by myself because I just wanted to be alone.

5. I’ve thrown away my kid’s junk filled goody bags from parties and played dumb when asked where they went.

What are your momfessional moments? We’re judgment free here…it’s a safe place to confess.
I throw away artwork 😉
I also throw away the goodie bag, but usally only after I catch myself mooching from it. Is there any time that is NOT a candy season?!
Ann! i loved this!! and these aren’t parenting fails- they’re wins in my book! LOL 😉
I relate to every single one of these. Well, except for the gym thing. If I told my husband I was going to the gym, he would instantly call me a liar (a big fat one apparently!) Dying laughing over here.
Ha! Glad we can all laugh at ourselves!! 🙂
I throw away the goody bag EVERY TIME.
So happy I’m not alone….sometimes I feel like the “mean mom” but we don’t need another plastic yo-yo and cavity-causing laffy taffy (but if there’s chocolate in that bag, I’m all over it!).
