Top 7 Things NOT to Feel Guilty About...


(Hope I'm not infringing on copyright laws by putting this on here) I got this from my Feb. Parenting Magazine. It made me laugh, so I'm sharing. It used to be the top 10, but there were a few that I thought were dumb. Don't feel guilty about:

1. Having the impulse, after discovering your kid has used your $20 lipstick to draw a giant plum-colored pig on your dining room wall, to call up Brad and Angelina and ask them if they'd like to take in one more. (Nevermind that I'd never spend that much on a stupid lipstick and would definitely take a picture of the pig!)

2. Returning the fancy but useless baby gift to the department store and spending the credt on shoes for yourself. (Maybe I haven't been a mom long enough, but I think it's waaaaaaay more fun to shop for Ashlynn)

3. Introducing your sister's kid -- little miss organic-only -- to her very first Twinkie. (Hahaha! I would soooooo do that!)

4. Setting up playdates just with kids whose mothers you like.
(Seems like a no-brainer to me!)

5. Calling your jiggly belly your "mummy tummy" ten years after childbirth. (Well, that is what it is. Right?)

6. Insisting on grown-up music in the car (I'm already doing this with Tony, who seems to like loud teenage-boy music...heehee)

7. Knowing, really knowing, with every fiber of your being, that your kid is the cutest on in her class picture. (Or in any other picture, for that matter!)
