THAT Mom

Before  I was a mom I knew I would be the perfect mother. I had already decided how much better of a mother I would be compared to every other girl my age. I was going to be awesome.

I remember seeing a picture of someones 2 year old on FB and all he had on was a diaper and I thought 'That is so trashy! My kid will ALWAYS be dressed!'. I even posted a status on Facebook right after seeing that picture, saying I vowed to be a way better mother than that and my children would always be dressed! Someone commented on there and said, 'you just wait til you're a mom'. It happened to be the mother that I was secretly bashing.
 Owen, is naked about 50% of the time. Yes, I am that mother. 


I hated seeing kids dressed and they didn't match. It looked like a blind person picked out there clothes.
I also hated the moms that would let their kid wear something to small because they (the child) picked it out them selves. I mean is it really that hard to grab a little shirt and pants that are the right size and dress your kid appropriately!? I said my kids will always look appealing.
Owen picks out his own clothes about 40% of the time. 35% of the time they don't match, or one of the clothing items is to small and I keep thinking to myself 'I will let him wear it this time and then when it comes out of the dryer I will fold it and put it in his tote of 'to small clothes'' then somehow it ends up in his dresser again, and waits until he chooses it the next time, but now it's even smaller. Oh my. I am that mother.


I said how hard is it to freaking wipe your kids face before coming out in public!? Keep your kid clean!
About 25% of the time I leave the house Owen has a messy face that somehow I don't notice until we are INSIDE the store. Oh! and I didn't bring wipes, and now its all hard and crusty so I had spit wipe it off. How embarrassing to now be THAT mom.

I remember every time I would go to a mothers house (even my sisters, so sorry sisters!) I would think why does this place look like a freaking dump?! And why are there 6 diapers on the ground!? When I have kids they will not be allowed to do this to my house, and I will be a normal person and throw the diapers away. Don't let your kid act like a Tasmanian devil!
That being said, please don't come to my house with out an hours notice..

Hey crap mom why the heck is your toddler such a brat!? Don't you discipline him? Don't you ever tell him NO!? Make that brat behave once in a while!
Gosh, I feel like all I ever say is "please don't do that", "DON'T DO THAT", "why would you do that!?", "Oh. My. Gosh. NO!!", "no", "NO", "WHAT THE HECK are you doing!? NO!" and I feel so mean, and like why does this rotten child not hear the word NO!? hahah I have the excuse of terrible 2's now...lets hope it passes...soon...


Guess what, nothing went as planned. I understand EVERY single other mom out there and why they do what they did. I hope everyone was/is not as judgmental and I was. When I have the house clean, a dressed kid, and I myself have at least showered, I really feel like I have my crap together. Like I am supermom! I often wonder how will I ever throw another baby into this crazy mix!? But, even though I know I could be a WAY better wife and mom and I know I am FAR from perfect, I still think I am the perfect mom for my family. No one could understand these guys like I do. :)
