I feed my kid beer (just enough so they stop complaining about hunger) because I'm too lazy to get up and get the bottle of milk from the fridge.

I let my 12-month old eat about a pound of guacamole for dinner while we drank margaritas.

Well, I'm pretty sure Supermom doesn't have a muffin top.

Too much TV at our house

Both DH and I work - and the kids are in aftercare until 6pm most days

One kid has ADHD and is medicated for school (also has accomidations at school and is actually fairly well behaved in general - just active and distractable)

Our house is unbelievably messy and cluttered (undiagnosed adult ADHD or we're lazy?)

The kids love morningstar farms fake meat products and eat way too many of them

Supermoms don't both me at all - I feel completely unthreatened and I don't know why. My SIL is a supermom and always trying to impress me. It is mystifying to me.

etc. etc.

I could go on forever. Guess what, though? Most of the supermoms disappear as their kids get older. I'm not sure why, it's either that it gets harder to be so perfect and set in your ways with an older child or you realize it's not s important.

My kids are in elementary and I no longer have a desire to be supermom (not that I ever was).

I let my DD eat funnel cake for lunch. We were at the Nats game. Oh, and I accidentally broke the washing machine yesterday. So, I dusted off the uniform she wore on Friday and she will wear it again tomorrow. In my defense, Friday was only a half day of school

My kids are awesome despite the fact that their parents are not super.

I yell more than I would like. Lose my temper more than I would like. Am less patient than I want to be.

Good lord, if I posted all the reasons I'd be writing for hours.

And you know what? My kids are still smart, well-behaved, and happy despite my lack of supermom-ness.

I let my 3 year old son eat yogurt for at least 2 meals a day. That's all he likes, and I'm tired of trying to convince him to eat something else.

That is a different level of #parentfail than simply not being a supermom.


Wow, it took exactly one response for sanctimommy to show up.

OP, I only have one kid and I feed him some frozen Trader Joe's meal for dinner 5 nights out of seven.

I let my DD eat a popsicle the size of her leg before dinner.

Just reading the other thread made me tired.

My one year old is watching a Narnia movie right now with my 6 year old.

I have no idea where the 3 year old is, but I heard rustling in the pantry about 5 minutes ago. I'll investigate further when I refresh my wine glass. I was out of pajamas for him so he is wearing one of his sister's nightgowns to bed.

I "cooked" three different dinners tonight. None were organic. Only one child consumed appropriate servings of multiple food groups. I keep hoping magic elves will show up and sweep the kitchen floor before the toddler has a second dinner of table scraps.
