THIS WEEK I'M A BAD MUM: VOL 1

HAPPY FRIDAY! I fancied creating a regular segment that wasn't all sweetness and light because you know what, parenting isn't easy! Especially when your a first timer and your completely winging it - but isn't that part of the fun! So I've came up with this - posts listing all the reasons this week why I'm a terrible mother. It sounds harsh but in reality it's mostly tongue in cheek because personally I think I'm an epic mother....but still very, very true. This week was a particularly bad week, I've had a fair few down days and I've really struggled and here ladies and gents is why this week, I'm a bad Mum.

NAPPY NEGLECT
This week Theo got his appetite back and started drinking 6oz's again - YAY! Unfortunately this resulted in a slightly more full nappy during night time - BOO! So I go to change him at 6am as usual and was a bit bewildered when he felt sweaty. Nope that wasn't sweat. The poor lamb had wee'd so much it had penetrated his nappy, vest, babygrow and swaddle blanket! It's safe to say I've now added in a quick 2am change along with his bottle...just incase.

STERILISER SITUATIONS
Like I said, it's been a bit of a bad week and I've been trying to keep my head above water which has meant neglecting the steriliser on a daily basis in favour of an extra bit of sleep. Queue mad rush to quickly sterilise bottles with a hungry, whaling 3 month old in my arms.

SLEEPYHEAD FORGETFULYNESS
After the penetrating nappy incident I also had to wash his Sleepyhead. After completely forgetting to wash it until the afternoon we didn't end up sticking it in the tumble dryer until 8pm and poor Theo had to sleep swaddled on his cot mattress. After a slightly frauaght nights sleep it's safe to say I won't be making that mistake again!

SLIGHTLY SMELLY
This isn't really a rarity as I just can't figure out how to change the cartridge and in fairness it is one of Kieran's jobs. There is also currently a pile of nappies accumulating in an ASDA bag next to said bin....which also needs to be taken outside

PULLING A ROSS
After a long week of doing as little as possible the house looks like a bunch of rioting thugs have trashed the house so today I wacked on the 00's classics and set to it. In my defense Theo was originally asleep but I didn't particularly stop once he was awake. I mentioned "bitches" and "hoes" far too many times than is probably exceptable when singing to your child. He seemed to find the funny side to it.
