I <3 that we judge each other's secrets. So awesome and supportive!

So many I can't list them all...but mostly that my DS is a huge struggle in so many areas that I scream everyday and feel like I'm a failure as a mother. I've always wanted to be a mother and now I don't like being one at all. I've never actually said these words out loud.

Oh haha, my almost 5 year old is obsessed with my breasts. We sometimes take a bath together and she always wants to try again as soon as she sees them; I actually don't often bathe with her because of this. I let her try when her brother was born...18 months ago!!!

Why would you be taking a bath with her anyway?

I stopped coming home for lunch because my son was never happy to see me and afraid it meant his nanny was leaving. He would cling on to the nanny and yell "no!".

This reminds me - I'm so happy my kid doesn't ask me to come eat lunch with her at school. I can't think of much that I would consider more boring than that. No interest whatsoever.

+1 Their trust is precious to me. No way I'd breach that, even on an anonymous message board.

What's wrong with going after you bathe?

We were trying to encourage her to try before she got in the bath. All is fine now.

DS was four and still wore pull ups to bed as I thought he was peeing in his sleep and not ready to fully train. Turned out that he purposely peed in his pull-ups first thing in the morning after he was awake because, according to him, it felt so good.

I still cut my 8 year old's food. Especially in the morning when she's tired and hungry and asking her to cut her own waffles is akin to asking her to strip off her fingernails.

My son's nanny is better with him than I am. When he is sick, he asks for him nanny.

How is that a secret?

I think the secret is that the mom thinks it. I definitely do not tell people I don't think my two year old daughter is pretty. It's a taboo thing to say and perhaps to think.

Mommy 8 year old sleeps on my bed. Often won't go to sleep unless in my arms
