Top 10 Ways to tell you are the "Worstest Mommy Ever"

#10.  You refuse to let your children eat Ice cream sanwiches/chocolate cake/popsicles/or Tootsie Rolls for breakfast...and do not consider Ketchup and Bread it's own food group.  And you refuse to drive your middle child an hour and fifteen minutes to the nearest IHOP just so he can eat bacon.  (OK, so I know that's alot of reasons wrapped up in one, but they are all food related.)
#9.  You have the nerve to tell them to clean up their rooms.
#8.  You actually expect them to clean up their rooms when asked.
#7.  You will not allow them to play outside until their rooms are cleaned.
#6.  You enforce a bed time that means they occasionally go to bed before it's pitch black outside.
#5.  You won't let your 4 year old drive the 4 wheeler/riding mower without his father's supervision.
#4.  You won't take your nearly 6 year old, your 4 year old, and your 2 1/2 year old to the theater to see a PG-13 movie (much to their dad's confusion as well as their chagrin).
#3.  You ever let one child do something the others cannot (i.e. let your daughter go farming with her great uncle & make your son stay home with you...even though he was offered the adventure first and turned it down).
#2.  You (occasionally) ignore a question you've already been asked 4 times in the past 2 1/2 minutes.
And the #1 Way to tell you're the "worstest Mommy ever" is:  They tell you so on a regular basis.
 
But you know, it's OK.  Eventually they chage their minds and love you inspite of all your shortcomings.

And a easy bake oven

I don't know.... we are terrible mothers. I can't believe you don't let them have soda and chocolate and cakes for breakfast!! The next thing you'll be saying you don't let them play on the main road... S
