I will not let my 8 year old baby girl go watch “New Moon” with four other 7 and 8 year olds from her class. Apparently I’m crazy opinionated when it comes to vampires and werewolf movies.
I don’t let my 10 year old girl wear make-up to school. What a horrible mother! Clearly every clear skinned, bright eyed, pony tail wearing infant should be covered in foundation, mascara and blue eyeliner before the 5th grade!!
My girls wear underwear purchased from Wal Mart and clothes from anywhere that has them on sale. We buy what fits them, what they are comfortable in, what is appropriate for their age, and that they like. They are fashionable, but I have not succumbed to the “must only dress my children in labels” mentality. You are not what you wear and I refuse to send that message to my daughters.
My girls have….wait, prepare yourselves……chores. Yep. Bad Mommy.
They also have a regular bedtime! Oh the horror of not being able to stay up as late as they want to “like all of their friends”.
They take vitamins. In the shape of cartoons but they do take them.
Eat dinner before dessert (well usually).
Shower under duress, cause I don’t like em smelly.
There are rules and they are respected. Sometimes there is some foot stomping. Could be a daughter, could be a Mama.
They are loved. Fiercely..and I hope they know it.
If this makes me a mean Mommy, then I guess this is my job and I happily accept.
I just know I can’t be the only Mean Mama out there. Can I???
Nope, your not the only one- I’m a mean mommy too!
Definitely not a mean mom! More moms should be like you! I grew up that way. I thought my mom was mean. But now that i’m a mommy myself, I totally see where she was coming from.
sounds like you’re a great momma to me!
Of course you aren’t the only mean momma! My son is learning how to share (he is 15 months) and I made him share his train today with his cousin and he threw a whoppin’ cryin’ fit. I was so mean! But, hey, it must be done. You are a good momma!
And I was still playing with my Barbie’s at 10.
Seriously?? There are parent’s out there that would let their 7 and 8 year old kid watch that?? That’s insane. My MIL let my 4 year old watch Pirates of the Carribean. I about killed her.
I guess I’m a Mean Mommy too!
Hah if you are a mean mommy I must be an absolute tyrant!! Good for you – you are raising them right and they’ll thank you for it …. eventually.
if that’s a mean mommy then there should be no other kind! makeup at ten?! i was still playing with my little pony…
You haven’t used my parents’ line yet, “So if all the kids wanted to jump off the roof, would you do that too?”
Just to be self righteous I would always answer “Yes.” I’m surprised they didn’t take me to the roof and push me off.
Yay for mean mommies. We raise healthy, happy kids! (Although, I did take my 9 year old to see New Moon. I’m still holding out on the cell phone though.)
Oh the torture!!
Good for you momma!
This makes you a GOOD mom…a far cry from a mean one. Don’t worry about it. We were all like that to our mothers to. Keep it up! One day, the WILL thank you for it. š
I think this makes you a very good and normal mommy! Good for you. I think 8 years old is wayyyyy too young to watch New Moon!!! Seriously!
Mean mommies = Good mommies so keep on keepin’ on!
Good for you! I can’t believe moms are letting their kids see this movie at that age. I am shocked. You should be proud of yourself for taking a stand honey! Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my post today. Have a great day! Kori xoxo
actually i think you are a brilliant mommy…
this is how i was raised and i can only hope that when i have kids.. i can take this to them too!!!
