A Rather Rude Interuption
June 30th, 2007 | 
Author: Picture the scene - Rebecca, Eilidh and i sitting around the dinner table tucking into a lovely Hot Bacon Salad with Baked Potato’s for dinner. Eilidh in her high chair and Rebecca in her booster seat.
Rebecca starts getting fussy, she is crying and trying desperately to get out her seat. Me the bad mum just think she is playing up and tell her to stop and eat her dinner. She sort of leans forward and i recognise the face she is making - its the poo face , and yes she was currently diaper free.
I grab her out the seat and take her to the toilet where she proceeds to finish her “business” . I go and clean up the mess she left behind and we go back to dinner.
I still feel so bad about it, she was clearly telling me she needed out to go to the toilet but i was just ignoring the signs. She never once told me she was needing the toilet so I’m blaming that, but i think she was to upset to talk. Isn’t it funny
how once upon a time pre-kids someone poo-ing in the middle of dinner would be enough to completely put you off your food? These days its just normal.
On a completely different note, is anyone else completely desperate to get there hands on the Spice Girl tickets? I went to see them with my sister when they were big originally and would so love to go again.

I love it! My A. is the same way about the “poo-ing”, though. She just kind of squirms, makes the face and does it. But she’ll tell me when she needs to go pee-pee. I guess it is time to really start listening, huh?
(warm bacon salad…yum!! That might be partly why you weren’t so put off of food by the pooing!

LOL! Ah, the surprises motherhood brings! Nadia had her first poo-in-the-tub incident last week. Fun, fun. :o)
P.S. Your meals always sound so yummy!

Ha! It’s funny how nothing is gross anymore after a few years of mothering!
I’m embarrassed to admit that I am excited about the Spice Girls getting back together too!

You’re such a bad mom! Just kidding…as unfun as it is, I think every mom ends up doing something like that. It’s no fun when stuff like that happens and you feel like a horrible mom!
This is my worst…(at least off the top of my head). Once I was out shopping and Emma wanted something. I told her no and we went on our way. She proceeded to whine and whine and whine. I told her if she didn’t stop, she was going to go in time out. She still didn’t stop (she was 4 yrs old). So I put her time out, which consisted of me telling her she was in timeout and then to walk away a few feet. After time out, I came back and talked to her face to face, and she said sorry and then immediately she started whining again.
It was about that time that I realized her hearing aids had died. She thought I was ignoring her, which was why she was whining. She can read lips, but I wasn’t looking at her when I was speaking so she didnt know what I was saying. She didn’t hear me warning her of time out or telling her no to whatever it was she was asking about. She thought I was ignoring her. I felt horrible. Then I did it again a few days later and thought I totally earned the bad mommy award!
Her hearing aids had some sort of short in them that made them die after 2-3 days instead of 2 weeks. Sorry for writing so much! I hate it when stuff like this happens and you end up feeling like a totally LOSER! Your story did make me laugh though!

Aww. We all have stupid mommy moments…dont feel bad. Live and learn
DH still gets grossed out by stuff like that with Ryleigh. But yet the dogs can throw up on the floor and he can clean it up and go back to eating. Me on the other hand is grossed out then…lol.
