bad mom?

"There are some days when I have to choose between being a bad mom or an embarrassed mom. Today I chose bad mom...I gave in and bought her the candy. " ~Kathy

When my good friend said this I laughed hard.

First because she is just so darn funny.
Second because I mostly felt sorry for her inability to control her child.

Well....guess who chose bad today?!

That's right! Go ahead and judge

But when it came right down to it I had to give in.

My girls wouldn't stop screaming. I tried everything. I tried talking calmly. I walked away from the temptation. I hugged and loved. I even offered choices ya know, the whole love and logic thing. Well love and logic simply fly out the window when you're dealing with 2 kids under the age of three and baked goods are involved.

Lilly ate an entire cinnamon roll from Kneaders for lunch.

Sophia ate nothing but a chocolate chip cookie and rootbeer for lunch.

Me? well, I ate a delicious turkey ranch sandwich with chips and a large half coke/half diet coke.

Bad mom vs. Embarrassed mom.

hmmmmmm-the verdicts still out

But today's results were pleasant

AND

We all ate happily ever after!

I'd opt for BEST MOM!!
Let the kids eat what they want for lunch. Lilly will eat what she needs to for dinner and Sophia will snack on an entire apple before dinner! :)
