As a mom of daughters I love to watch them play pretend. Like most little girls they love to pretend they're mommies. Most of the time those pretend mommy moments melt my heart like when they're holding and loving on their baby. However, today as I was cleaning up their playroom, which I referred to as their "house" I started thinking about several things I came across and had a little chuckle at myself when I thought "Oh, my gosh, I'm totally Mom Judging my daughters!" Here's my confession list of casting judgment on my poor three and six year old's mommy abilities.
1. Upon entering their "house": What a complete pigsty! How do they live in here?!? There is no organization whatsoever. I found old discarded food, wrappers, and eating utensils that would probably need at least a half dozen washes to get the crusty food off. They're like little hoarders. Nothing is trashed; it's all shoved under some furniture or in a box to give the appearance every now and then that they clean.
2. They neglect their "children". I don't think I found a single doll or Barbie with clothes on. Some of them (barbies) were even missing limbs for crying out loud! And then their hair! OMG! If they had hair it was a horrid, tangled mess. At least tie it back in a big ponytail.
3. Their "children" are dirty. Not only was their hair a horrid mess but some of them had crap smeared all over the faces like they hadn't had a good wash in ages. I know I'm one to talk considering we were the ones who took our three year old out to dinner with chocolate still smeared across her face. Small parental miscommunication on who was cleaning her up before we left. At least I did the good old lunge across the table, lick my fingers, and scrub her face raw until it was all gone.
I guess they are only three and six. So they have plenty of time to figure it out.

No but that would have been funny. My six year old mom judges me as it is guess I could have just gave it right back to her. LOL
DeleteOh my gosh that was too funny! I loved how you called yourself out on "Mom judging" them! I remember thinking something very similar when my girls were younger but never really thought about it being "Mom judging" until now! I'm sure many other Mom's have done the same thing with their daughters at one time as well! Thank you for joining us and linking up to Party Under the Big Top! Hope to see you again next time!
