I tell the girls, I am coming upstairs to tuck them in and at timesI dont come up till they are asleep.
I hide the good chocolate in the cabinet above the fridge
I tell them I dont have any money to buy from the ice-cream truck and he doesnt accept c/c.
When I am really exhausted, I tend to ignore the fighting going on.
They started this crazy game. Mama She/He is copying meee. All freaking day long. All the time every time. I now warn them that the person who comes and tells that sentence will get sent to timeout. It has since stopped.
I love staying up way too late when everyone is sleeping(even NK) I might read. I might hang out at the hammock. I might blog/surf. I love the peace!
When I have company over and I buy soda. I lie to them my glass has alcohol and NOT TO TOUCH IT!
I have been known to stop the car and scream whoever makes the next sound/doesnt stop crying I will leave you by the side road. For even more dramatic effect, I slide the doors open. It was awesome in CO when there were vast fields all around.
I lie to NK and say Opps the empty gas light came on just as I was turning into the driveway.
This was really good for my soul. I can sleep like a baby tonight. What are your confessions? Go anon if you want 
**Title is from my COMOM’s message board
i tell Cubby that his Finding Nemo or Horton Hears a Who dvd is spilt so that we cant watch what we like at least some times! ofcos when he sweetly says “Mummy Nemo ka DVD theek kan ke laayenge naah shaam ko?” i just wanna hug him tight!
or yesterday i told him the chips were all spoilt and needed to be thrown. what the kid do? takes the dabba and puts it in the dustbin saying maine phek diya! :p
Me: rofl at him throwing away chips
i am not a mom yet, so no confessions there. what I can think of right now is -
when i dont feel like talking, i just ignore the skype call or even mobile and sometimes even put it on silent and tell ppl random reasons
Me: BTDT as well.
Wow, do all doors of your car slide open at the touch of a button
Me: Yup its a minivan. Sliding doors standard feature. on most.
I don’t have kids but that does not stop me from:
-Saying the gas turned to low as soon as I turned the corner.
-Saying the ‘stupid action’ flick he wanted was not available in the store, and picking up a nice chick flick.
Me:rofl at the last one.
will write more as I remember(I am sure I have many many more but they are so much second nature that I dont remmeber.)
Hey, thats me you writing about. Almost every single thing. I stop the car at roadsides and threaten to leave them. I forget the tucking in occasionally. And the copy-me…ISNT THAT THE MOST IRRITATING ONE. My 2 are so far apart in age that if I were mention timeout, one will say Ok and the other will laugh and say Ok and then No.1 will say “she is still copying me” !!!
Me: My head spins when I hear that sentence. Make a new threat if timeouts dont work.
Only the gas part I differ. I start getting pshyched when the needle goes below the half tank mark
Me: I prefer if NK were to fill the gas for me. I hate getting gas. Like such a waste of my precious time
I actually don’t tell them that I get emails from their school and make it look like I’m supermom and know everything they do just ‘coz am mom
Come to think of it I do that to the OH as well. He never knows how I can tell balance on his 401K accounts. I just grin and warn him to treat me well 
Come to think of it I need to make this a post myself!
Me: rofl funny about the emails
HAHAHA this is great. I do the gas thing too.
And since the boys are really good in the car when strapped into the car seat watching a DVD, sometimes we just throw the boys in the car and drive around aimlessly.
Also, we save the good snacks and desserts and eat them after the boys are in bed.
I can’t believe it there is a confessions post in my drafts!!!
I am going to post it today. Got the idea from another blog I read. They are general confessions and not just of a mommy.
BTW…I didn’t know this ‘Mom she is copying me’ is a universal thing. I had my nephews over for 2 week and the 5 year old nephew kept saying abt my 3 year old “Maameeeeeee, she is copying meeeeee’ and then my daughter would prove him right and come to me and say “Maami he’s copying mee’….
Me:Post it!
Hmm lets see:
Telling them its not yet time to go to the pool bcos they cant tell teh time yet.
Telling them Im out of money
Telling them I’ll ready a story tonight and then sending them off to bed saying I’ll be there in a minute and then hoping they’ll fall asleep before I have to read Spongebob adventures and frying my brain again
THe one minute shower to wake them up before school
I’m doing IMPORTANT work at the comp – you cant play on it right now. (when I’m actually checking the weather in India or some such crap)
Using the TV to babysit
Telling them mumma hasnt been picked this time to accompany you guys on the school trip when actually I havent even asked (last time I went, climbing on and off bumpy hayride trucks gave me the allergy of a lifetime) (I think I feel asleep on the truck too)
I could go on – are you feeling way better about urself? Good. You shud.
Me: I was laughing at the important work. I say that all the time.
-Let her sleep till 10-11am on weekends, so I could get some free time
-Being lazy (avoid another power struggle) and not brush her teeth at night after milk
-Avoid reading her a story at bedtime, saying mama will be just back “has to brush my teeth” and hope she has fallen asleep
Lot more..the above are the ones I feel require a confession.
My mom once tried to pull this on me hoping to find out whether I was dating anyone.
She had just gotten back from a trip to India.
She said, “I spoke to this astrologer and he saw your horoscope. And he said that you’re seeing someone right now”.
I wonder how she expected me to believe that!
seriously hate filling the gas tank in the car. now i get the driver to do it since we only have the one car here. in mumbai even in my little car i would wait around for the weekend, start getting ready for the basketball game early, wake him up, prod him, and say, we have to fill petrol before we go play. and once, for a month, when the tank was low, i drove the other car (he was sort of in and out and traveling and didn’t have time to fill the tank), till that ran out too. i called myself ‘cosmo’ in those days.
Ha..ha..ha.. Hear ya!
As for confessions, will this do?
Signs of a bad parent
Ha ha h. my list would be much longer
ha ha yes on most of them atleast which require a single kid
wats btdt btw?
Me: been there done that
Oh Man, I do the snacks part too, not just from kids, but husband as well.
S, I am loving this post.
