Do You Really?

Do you really co-sleep with your children?

I tell my kids the children in China cannot wake up until they fall asleep?

Do you really feed your children only locally grown and 100% organic food?

Two of us had peanut butter cups for dinner and the other one had chocolate kisses.

Do you really want a natural childbirth?

I pretended the epidural wasn't working so they would turn it up higher, just in case.

Do you really love breastfeeding?

I really hated it and I wished desperately that my children would take bottles and I resented them for forcing me to breastfeed for so long.

Do you really bake GF/CF muffins every morning after your run?

I complain about the smell of turkey bacon while my husband makes pancakes.

Do you really not own a TV?

I just caught my three year old watching Homeland on her iPad.

Do you really volunteer at hospice when you aren't organizing the school library?

I dress down on Fridays and I haven't even paid the donation, yet.

*Can any of you add to my list?

This list could have been mine some 35 years ago.

Wow you must really hate me :) I did co-sleep and still do with my youngest. And still breastfeeding him too. Had natural births and Soaps was born at home on Victoria day weekend. I do make gf/cf muffins but not everyday. But- I don't run! And my kids watch tv and ipads and what have you... did you have a run-in with a hostile hippie? :)

Let's see-do you really make sure your kids teeth are brushed and flossed daily? Weekends are optional, and sometimes we miss a weekday or 2 as well.

Oh my, who did the questioning? Mother perfect?

But i did co-sleep now and then (then was right after the divorce, after we moved and the new bedroom furniture including a bed for him hadn't arrived yet) and we still have only one TV and no app's on the iPad that makes it possible to watch TV anywhere else then form the couch...

I co-sleep my kids cause I am too damn lazy to put them back in their own beds.

Pay attention to how you present yourself to the world.
Yah a shower every 2nd, 3rd...whatever shower if you feel like.
Didn't brush your hair, ah well you are just shoving a hat on anyway

I pay close attention to my kids athletic nutritional needs.
What do you mean we forgot your water bottle again?
If I turn off the kitchen light and sit quietly maybe no one will notice I didn't feed them.

Parenting is a crap shoot - if we all made it through the day and no one bled out or died of scurvy it is a success in my book.

Do you really give your son long, relaxing, baths with Johnson's nighttime soap every night?
*When there's a smell or stain, we hop in the shower for a few seconds.

P.S. I'm somewhat of a lurker (stalker), but I am absolutely in love with your blog!!
