I'm a "bad" mama because...

OMG, mamasan! my babe is OBSESSED with caillou. sometimes i have that little tune in my head more than i'd like to admit, "i'm just a kid who's four, each day i grow some more... " ahhhhhhhhhhh!

this post was hilarious to read. um, no, you are not a bad mama, sometimes this is what we have to do to get a break and keep our DD's happy until like you said, bedtime! preservation of sanity is what i like to call it.

enjoy your adult beverage!

PS: what's up with him having that very unique name and his sister gets 'rosie'???

Because I'm up at 12:39 pm blogging when I should be cleaning the sink full of dishes or doing homework if I'm going to be awake! Okay then, lol....g'nite!

cause my boy is with my parents for a few days, and he goes with my parents for a few days at a time quite often. And I fuckin love it. I get work done, he gets to spend time with the people who love him as much as we do, be outdoors, play, etc. And I love being by myself. LOVE. I feel guilty about it sometimes, but my mom always offers, she loves having him. And he loves going. It's a win/win.

If the cartoon is french anyway. In france the name caillou is about as common as the name charles in england.

didn't know that motormouth, thanks for the education!

Or: I'm a bad mama because I wish I could make my kid go away sometimes, too. We all need it, and I'm glad we can admit it here. :)

oops

because I could have volunteered to drive my son on his field trip today (he wanted me to), but I decided to stay home instead and watch Vampire Diaries reruns on TV.

Also why is he totally bald? And why do his parents NEVER lose their temper
even when he's being a bald butt head? Why does his mother never have PMS? Why
does his dad never say, "I don't have time to play, I have a report due!" Why does
he never hit his sister? My son loved Caillou and the show set an example of the perfect all-Canadian family, which is a nice alternative to "Zack and Cody" or whatever
our All American versions of "family" for kids are. I miss the Caillou days. But read
"Nurture Shock"...research that kinda blows the lid off what we think is "good" and "bad" parenting. xo :p
P.S. I'm a bad mother because I let my kid have MCDONALD'S now and then... He's the world's pickiest eater, that's my excuse for letting him eat chicken feet nuggets. I know, I just blew you all away w/ my BADNESS.

I'm a bad mom because I can't *stand* that show and when my daughter asks to watch it I lie and say it's not on, and sometimes I'm tempted to tell her that Caillou died, heh.

His parents are waaaaay too fake-nice, and I can't stand that lovey-dovey voice they both use. For comic relief when I'm forced to watch it I like to imagine them having sex: "Honey, do you think it would maybe be alright with you if I stuck this in you? Just for a little while, please? I promise not to enjoy it too much." "Oh, of course, darling! Just don't mess up my hair, we'd hate for Rosie and Caillou to wonder why mommy has bed head. And please make sure you don't get any dirty stuff on the sheets, in case Rosie sleeps with us later. And don't make any noises please, mommy finds those icky. And you don't mind if I don't enjoy it at all, do you?" "No, that's perrrrrfect, honey. Thanks so much, I reeeeeally apreciate it." "Noooo, sweetheart, it's really fiiiiine. So go ahead then, dear, I'm ready for it." "Great, thanks again, honey." "Oh, you're very welcome, darling." ;)
