I went around the house last night “mommy shaming” myself while Scott was giving the girls a bath. If you are unfamiliar what mommy/dog/baby shaming is, it is basically holding up a sign in front of yourself, dog or baby admitting something shameful. I believe it all started with this dog shaming website.
I found an article on twitter last night about “Mommy shaming”. I was laughing so hard – check it out here. I had to do one myself. I couldn’t help but admit my own mommy-shames because Lord knows I have some:
I put my kids in a tub of water and call it a bath.
I let my kids eat NERDS all the time b/c I like the noise they make when vacuumed.
My kids know what a “hoppy” beer smells like.
I don’t get dressed for day until it’s 3:15 in afternoon. And only for the (school) parents.
I am researching long distance baby monitors so I can drink w/my neighbors.
I am not picking this up unless company comes over.
I told my kids raisins are candy. It worked.
At this point, Scott asked what I was doing. I showed him my signs.
Scott: Ha. That’s cute.
Me: Cute? It’s funny!
Scott: (shrugs) Yeah, I guess.
Me: Fine. Whatever.
To my parents and in-laws: Please don’t continue on. You’re warned.
Sorry future teenagers. Beat you to the sex cave.
And I made my 3 year old take this picture.
you crack me up!! LOVE IT
I’m totally showing this to the girls when they’re teenagers. It should keep them away. ha
LoL, I totally enjoyed this post! And no worries, I do the not getting dressed unless going out or expecting company thing too. I’m gonna have to try doing this too sometime.
Thanks! I feel like “we’re all in this together” when I read other mom-shaming posts! Do it!
You’re the coolest, funniest, most amazing mom I’ve encountered. Thanks for writing this. Too many times in life, we’re made to feel bad because we’re just human.
Ah! Thank you so much! And thank you for reading!
Very cute! My kids are grown, and my grand kids are teenagers, but I can still appreciate this…(-:
Thank you!
Love the ‘mouth shape’ you are making in the Sex Cave!
Im not a parent but I did think that this was hilarious! Innovative.
Thank you! And thanks for reading!

The first nine months of being a mother is really painful and isn’t comparable to any physical pain (according to my mom), but everything’s worth it after those months. The pain of giving birth was all worth it once you hear the first sound of your child’s cry.
Being a mother is really a tough job. You need to make sure that the house is clean, that the children’s grades are up, and your husband has lunch for work. But the stress and fatigue are all worth it once you child gets an A, or your husband gets promoted. These are all the perks of being a mother.
It is a difficult job being a Mother, I commend and praise you for all of your good efforts. At playground we try and help make mom’s jobs easier by having our interactive characters teach children the fundamentals of sports. Cheers to you the Mothers.
Very enjoyable! Can’t wait to read your next blog!
Dang, pressure is on, huh? Thanks for reading!
Your welcome! http://www.segmation.com
Ha. That’s cute.
You have the luckiest kids in the world to have you for their mother. I’ve never been a mother, and even I get that.
Am not a mom but I also like not dressing when I’m home!
And I’m sure there are many parent’s doing things while raising children because they get a kick out of it ;p
Love it, made me laugh out loud. I’ve also done the one about the raisins and the jammies lol! The others I may take a leaf out of your book.
BRILLIANT!! Love the pics
“I told my kids raisins were candy… it worked!!” Ha! Ha! Ha!! My fav!!!
I love the dog shaming, it’s funny stuff. Your take is hilarious!
Congrats on being Freshly Pressed! Yahoooooooo.
This is just awesome in pretty much every way haha. Gotta show my wife this one.
I only smirked until I got to the last two pictures–then I laughed out loud!! haha.. love it.
i love it…cant wait to do it..must feel really good!
this is amazing!!!
Oh wow, too funny. Grown twenty-something kids came home for CanadianThanksgiving and at Sunday breakfast, I started laughing at myself. While eating my cold pancake I was thinking how I should tell second son and his dad to look at each other while talking instead of the newspaper (dad) and computer (son), how I should instruct youngest daughter to have the conversation with dad about grad school after breakfast, and did I need to let oldest daughter know the baby’s nose needed to be wiped? Shame on me for trying to control the room, but I was amused by my own imaginary puppet strings.
Lol you’re right this is super funny. I only just found out about the dog shamming yesterday (I’m so out of the loop!). I love the raisin one! haha you’re awesome.
Definitely go thru and read the dog shamming. Hilarious!
Love this. Thank you for making this mom’s day!
You have a great sense of humor. It takes one to raise kids.
Too funny! I’ve got to try this!!!

Very funny and refreshing. Word of warning, don’t read whilst drinking tea, keyboard is still a bit sticky!
LOL the last picture is the best! You know you’ve got a winner when you can’t stop cackling with laughter. This looks like one of those pictures!
Lol. I was dying laughing. Ha
That’s really funny! I need to learn the tell my kids raisins are candy trick.
Um, forward me the link to that baby monitor, okay? And that last card was epic!
Good golly miss molly, this cracked me up! COMSL! (That’s “Choking On My Spit Laughing”.) For the record, I put bubbles in the “bath” so the kid comes out smelling like they’ve actually been washed.
Sweet, I guess a sort of comeback to the invitation to be judged that it is to just BE a woman in our society..
I clicked mainly because I saw the Boulevard tap handle in the FP picture – and I’m damn glad I did.
I think there may be some “Dad Shaming” in my future.
I was about to post the same thing. Boulevard is awesome!!
Mmmm yes it is. Thanks for reading!
This was awesome. Totally deserved the WP award! I am going to follow you on Twitter. I found you because I am in a bloggers group on Facebook…Every Friday someone goes and finds a kick ass blog and then all the members come over and leave a comment and follow. We call it a flocking!
So, you’ve been flocked by our group today, and you may see a bunch of comments from other bloggers who stopped by to say- your blog kicks ass!

Ah, really! So cool! Thank you!
Hilarious! Flocked!
Birds of a feather – flock together!
Thanks for the laughs!
Totally hilarious and flocked!
Thanks for brightening my Friday morning ’cause the sunny california is under a cold spell today…cheers!
Hope it’s warmer today! Thanks for reading!
Hahaha! I can be shammed in most of the same ways. Especially the getting dressed one.
I’m in my jammies right now.
I have also “tight-rolled” them..
hilarious
why can’t we have more neighbors like you?!
(yer kinda like we were, when our kids wuzz younger (well, so were we)).
and my occasional ‘naked’ profile pixure was taknn by my daughter, but thasss unuthur story.
maybe we’ll move in next door to you. tell us when there’s a vacancy?
This was great and part of the group that just flocked you. I totally got a huge kick of this and great job
I would totally do this but I keep thinking to myself, “I wonder if these would be admissible in a court of law” and “I bet my husband would use these against me in the child custody hearing.” Heck, I might do it for those reasons alone!
You have a mighty fine blog here, sister! Consider yourself flocked…yeah, I’m always one of the last ones. My tail feathers drag me down a little.
LOL I’m dying with laughter. I don’t have kids but I gotta tell, if I did. I’d probably do all of the above
Ha! This is funny! It reminds me of my “confessions” blogs. Nice to know there are other moms out there that are not “perfect”.
That last picture had me laughing for about 5 minutes! Brilliant post! Thanks for sharing
(Oh… and *flocked*)
Hilarious post! You’re a brave brave woman. Getting dressed is overrated.
(Yep, I’m a flocker too)
Awesome post! I was laughing and your pictures are brilliant!
These were great! Thx for the laughs…:)
Highlarious!!!! You crack me up!!!! I am one of the group who has flocked you!!
Thanks for reading!
This is so awesome!!! Being a mom myself I am totally guilty of some of these!! Bath= tub of water lol!!!!
I think your kids are going to look back on this one day and think that they have a really cool Mom. After the teenage years, lol!
Great post! – Flocked! -
Aw! Thank you! They will for sure be disgusted with this post. Ha
I nearly fell off my chair laughing!

Holy cow! This made me laugh. Especially the last picture!
Looks like I’m late to the party… This is what I get for looking back through the older “Freshly Pressed” stuff, but so glad I found this. Too funny! I have made my four year old take pictures too. Let’s hope that doesn’t violate any kind of child labor laws.
