Right, It’s confession time.
What’s the most embarassing thing you have done as a parent? Mine is really bad so please don’t hold it against me lol.
Big deep breath….
I was shopping in Asda a couple of years ago and I had Master Frugal sat in one of the trolleys, as you do. I was having a look at the DVD’s and I stepped about two foot away from my trolley to get the one I was after. I put the DVD in the trolley and pushed the trolley over to the CD’s and then I saw a nice pink mobile phone so I continued on to there.
All normal here you may be thinking but…. The problem was when I had found the DVD I was after, I had actually put it in the wrong trolley and was currently pushing a trolley around Asda with another child in it! Master Frugal was still by the DVD’s quite happily looking at a Scooby Doo one.
Now to be fair I hadn’t got that far and was still within view of the child’s parents and Master Frugal but I don’t suppose that’s the point really is it? The mother must have thought I was some sort of psycho swapping kids in Asda because she certainly didn’t believe me when I said I hadn’t noticed I had the wrong child.
The moral of that story, never leave your child unattended in Asda in case I am around lol
Can anyone beat that?
If said child was sat quietly then would probaly have left with it and not realised until my own child started to scream.. never done it yet, but there's always a first time for everything

I shut my daughter's fingers in the door when she was 12 months old. Not only that, but because I was having difficulty shutting said door I gave it a good hard pull…. Not good. I felt really bad about it for ages.
I know I replied to this at the time but my Blogger comments were going loopy at the time which is why I have now switched to Disqus…. I wasn't ingnoring you all, honest
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had bad mummy moments….
Years ago when my son was a baby I took him to our coffee group and placed him on the mat to gurgle and drool (as babies do) and jumped up to get a coffee. I was working and felt very alien in the group of mums. I was dressed in full suit with heeled court shoes and kick-arse suit jacket. As I made my way to the table to get the coffee I felt something squishy underfoot. I looked down and two little eyes were pleading with me. It was my son. I had stomped on my own baby! Not great coffee morning behaviour. He's alright now though, and just coming up to 16th birthday!
ha ha, that is funny! child swap. I can't think of anything off the top of my head, they're probably deeply burried in my mind.
umm… as a young teenager, my best friend's brother thought it would be funny to pull his sister's bikini bottoms down in the swimming pool… yes ou guessed it – he got the girl wearing the same bikini as his sister!
Hope Ernest isn't embarasind you !
