Top 10 Reasons Why I Won’t Win the Mother of the Year Award

Top 10 No Mother of the Year Award

10. I make him stop playing the Wii and get ready for school.

9. I hate the library. There I said it. I’ll write a post later about this topic.

8. I refuse to play with him and his cars, wrestling men, pirates, etc. I’ve done this before and he ends up smashing everything into my hands and telling me I don’t ‘play’ right.

7. Apparently I suck because I won’t let him get a lizard. We have a cat. We have had hamsters, fish, and hermit crabs all of which croaked and all of which I had to take care of.

6. I missed basketball sign-ups.

5. I won’t let him get a BB Gun. I’ll end up the one getting shot in the ass…besides he’s fricken 7.

4. I don’t take him to birthdays parties of kids at school that I dont know. I’ve done it before, and I just stand there all awkward. Now, I make sure I know the parents that are going to be there.

3. I spend wayyy too much time blogging and trying desperately to ignore him as I type.

2. Because this is what I sound like in the morning: I Think I Missed My Calling

And the Number 1 reason why I Won’t Win the Mother of the Year Award is…..

1. After hearing “Mama, Mama” over a million times, I have decided to change my name and not tell Hunter.

    I killed the fish.

    My name is Elvis.

    I have skipped out on about 7 birthday parties this year and made my hubby do duty for the one we did go to.

    Yup. With you on the Worst MOTY.

    I don’t play right either apparently, ending in a fit when I try.

    And we had a lizard (and hamsters and fish) and I killed them all. Cats are much easier to keep alive.

  5. Cat@3KidsandUs says:

    Haha…sadly, I’m right there with you an ALL of those. That lizard thing must be a common 7 yr old boy thing bc Mattison has been begging me for one all stinkin year.

  6. Schmoochiepoo says:

    LOL….My list is pretty damn close to yours.

    I’ve convinced my kid that when Mommy is on the computer that I’m working and if he bugs me, I can’t work, will have no money and will not be able to buy him Bakugans.

    Do I feel quilty for lying? Heck No. I’m going to hell.

    I always tell my kids that I’m not answering to ‘Mom’ anymore.

    Hang in there.

    Nice! When I grew up I had this newspaper article stapled to the wall from my mom entitled “Meanest Mother in the World” written for (or by) Dear Abby. I love it to this day, it’s so true :)

  9. Katie says:

    I won't get it either!!! I am the "mean mommie" – Well, yes I guess I am if I won't let my 10 year old light firecrackers off – SUE ME!

  10. StacieinAtlanta says:

    I am the exact same way. I will never win any mothering awards!

    LMAO at #1. I think I did that with my second child. Unintentionally. Is that even possible?
