Never Have I Ever with a parenting twist!
There are so many things we swore we'd never do one we had children and there are so few of those that actually kept-- what have you never done or never had happen to you??
Never have I ever been peed on my my son (ie during diaper changes, bathtime).
Never have I ever told my child if they don't eat something on their plate they have to eat it for every meal until it's finished, and deny them any other type of food.
Hey mom guess what...I STILL HATE BRUSSEL SPROUTS.
Can you tell I am bitter about that? LOL. =)
Never have I ever said, "because I said so, that's why"
Never have I ever made it through a day not doubting myself about something I've done or not done in this journey called motherhood.
Never have I ever said, "because I'm not so-and-so's mom!" I actually made a list while I was pregnant of things I NEVER wanted to say to my daughter that drove me crazy hearing as a child. "Really, you're not their mom, I had no idea. Now that that's cleared up, Can I go to that party?" LOL
I only hope I can abide by that list :)
Never have I ever discouraged my son from questioning authority or asking questions about anything.
Never have I ever forgotten to brush my teeth in the rush of the morning, only to realize when I left the house that I didnt get around to it!
never have i ever put my daughter to bed for the night without telling her i loved her. :) and some nights that is very hard when having a battle of the wills.
Never have I ever told a child they were bad. I don't think that does any good in any way and it does nothing to help guide the child to better behavior. Once you are "bad", it's hard to see a way back from that.
never have i ever not gone a night without a hug and kiss from my older boys. my middle maniac, sick or not, bad day good day. will always go to bed for about fifteen minutes and as i am nursing my youngest to bed he will tip toe run out and say ''oh mommy, we almost forgot our hug and a kiss!'' then he will ever so lightly hug my side and he is my butterfly kisser , he knows i dont like kissing on the mouth so we rub our noses together and then he will turn around and tip toe run off, stop turn around and say ''ill see ya in the morning shunshine light''. it makes even the most orrible day better. to go to bed with that every night. my oldest is almost six and is getting to serious to kiss and hug mommy so i kiss him on his head and he will give me a hug and say ''see in the morning light''. its awesome..sorry i turned mine into a novel...
