Mothers have a lot going on. Some days it’s a struggle just to get your hair to lay flat on our head. That’s where baseball hats come in. We admit we’re busy and our hair could grease a wheel sometimes. However, there are things we just don’t talk about on the sidelines of a soccer game. We have secret mom behaviors…look familiar to you?
- You “borrow” money from your child’s piggy bank to pay the sitter.
- Setting the clocks ahead 15 minutes to make bedtime earlier.
- Playing your son’s video game for three hours while he is at school.
- You wait quietly until your teenager goes to sleep to read all their text messages.
- They certainly won’t miss several pieces of their Halloween candy will they?
- After dropping them off at school you go home and take a nap.
- You rock out to songs on their IPods and will never admit to liking Lady Gaga.
- Sometimes, just for a little while, you surf the internet reading celebrity gossip sites or watching a reality TV show you taped.
- Anything green they eat for dinner you count as a vegetable.
- You pretend you are asleep when it’s your turn to get up in the middle of the night for a crying baby.
We all have secret mom behaviors we do to survive this thing called Motherhood. What are yours?
How about “borrowing” money from the piggy bank to buy very important Bon Jovi tickets?
Nah, I didn’t do that…
You have been sneaking in my home, I do all that a bit more!
I have to do that last one sometimes. My husband takes forever to wake up so if I don’t pretend to sllep, he won’t wake up enough to take a shift!
