Bad parenting is...

[superfrizbee]

...shaking a packet of crisps so your toddler comes running like a dog.

Anyone else care to share theirs, or is it just me?

LOL!!

I bribe them with chocolate buttons when it is time to get in the buggy to go home from the playground. They scramble into the buggy so quickly! lol

 

[bananas2]

Love it!! Some times I'm talking to her and no acknowledgment what so ever then I just say the word chocolate and she stops dead and says yes.

OH does the opposite! When LO is saying 'no' to everything OH will list off things saying do you want.... and then at the end he'll add chocolate and LO will have said no before he realises!

When you main parenting tactic is simply bribery!

Or when you have watched Cars for the 15th time that week!

I also do the bribing to get in the buggy

My confession of a bad parent is getting Micah to bring me things/let the cat out etc when I can't be bothered to get up!

Bad parenting is turning down a birthday party invitation because you've already planned on going out for your birthday the night before

 

[Bevziibubble]

I do bribe Holly with little chocolates and stickers sometimes

Isn't this why we have children?! Lol

My confession is whenever they're all getting too much for me/one another, i fetch the biscuit tin.

Haha, yep! My "best little helper" is always being sent to throw things in the recycling bin, feed the ducks, water the outside pot plants, get my water bottle and let the dogs out/herd them back inside.

That at 18 months my child will still only nap infront of the washing machine.

and I alsi say the word chocolate if I want him to listen haha

 

[Gym knickers]

That in a moment of panic, when I realised she was gagging on some food she didn't like and was about to be sick, my first reaction was to push her so that it went on the laminate and not our new carpet! She was fine but I did feel awful!

 

[MommyJogger]

Every one of us had the flu recently. All DS wanted to do was lay and stare and sleep so I gave him the TV on days he didn't feel up to anything. I realized today he knows every. damn. word. to Minnie's Winter Bow Show by heart.

 

[w8ing4bean]

We bribe phoebe with food when we go shopping so she'll stay in the trolley. It doesnt always work and she howls "get dooowwn!!" with her arms outstretched lol
