Mum's Room 101

[Dotty_woman]

So what part of being a mum (or dad!) would you like to put into Room 101, like in the TV show? Top of my list (and particularly close to my heart this week) is feeling ridiculously broody and not being allowed any more babies.

Then there's everyone always assuming you know where their stuff is in the house when it's lost.

Then when there's one baby parking space left in the supermarket and someone pulls into it without any kids in the back!

I would bin the lack of sleep, interfering opinions that are not welcomed and the competitiveness of some parents - I hate the whole "my child is better than yours scenario".

 

[Dotty_woman]

Competitive parents. Most definitely. Oh and my child was potty trained in the womb! x

 

[H16]

Lol. One of my supposed best friends has a child 6 weeks older than mine. I haven't seen her for a while due to various factors but she is so competitive, she bumped into my sister in law in town before Christmas and asked how my daughter was and before sister in law could answer she said "she still isn't walking is she, my daughter has been walking for months". So rude, no need lol x

 

[Dotty_woman]

Cheeky cow! Bet your LO can do stuff her kid can't do though! xxx

 

[H16]

Oh yeah, my lo been talking for months and months, can count to 3 and knows all the different noises farm animals make etc and her child can only say mummy and daddy but I never say to her about it as all kids are different and there is no right and wrong when it comes to learning. Never mind lol x

Or they have kids but they are 14/15 and capable of getting out of a car in a normal space grr..

At the moment I'd go with, putting sleeping in your own bed with an baby with a cold, having zero room and waking up with backache

Babies with colds. Poor little mites. x

When someone knocks on your door and you look around at the mess and think oh nooo lol xxx

Putting my toddler in her car seat. Nightmare having to lift her and fasten her in all the time.

Mums who say "never did us any harm " when you've explaining why you wont do something.

Mums who go to soft play just to have a coffee with their "yummy mummy " friends and totally ignore their kid bullying mine.

After this week with my poorly little man, I'd like to put poop in!

It's not so much the competitive Mums that grate me, more the judgemental ones. 'What? You ONLY breastfed for three weeks? Wow, I did it for 18 months.....' And 'What? you started weaning before six months? Hmmmmm....' - absolutely no consideration for any of the reasons as to why these things may happen.

And the one I hate most of all, and this may be controversial so I do not wish to offend, but it's the facebook Mummy. The ones that don't go an hour without a post, picture or soppy picture of a 'Mummy loves' quote, utterly oblivious to the fact no one has liked or commented on any of their postings since about 2004........

Some of the fbmummies post because trier families are so far away though... That's why I post so many pics.

My room 101 would probably be between health visitors and mummy guilt.... I hate mummy guilt so much. "Oh... You came back at 9 months? A baby needs it's mother!"

Not those fbmummies; these are a very specific subtype unless you fill every other post with a 'hilarious quote' out of the mouth of babes, an hour by hour update of your 'quiet day at home with Mummy's cheeky litle monkey' or a 'poster quote' about how 'a baby holds her Mummy's heart forever'/'share if you have a baby you love with all your heart', you're not it

Exploding poos that come out of nappies and find their way up to babies armpits! Urgh :/
