Wait – when were you in MY house – LOL! I cannot even tell you how many times there has been a similar scene here.
Oh, I thought it was because the constant banging on the bathroom door while you’re in there is enough to drive any mother insane
.
Banging on the bathroom door is good. That way you know where they are.
haha! so true!
who needs to go to the bathroom anyway?
I come across that scene all the time……
or cook dinner or answer the phone…Love this!
Looks way too familiar… using the bathroom is apparently overrated.
The bathroom is overrated anyway…showers too.
At least she wasn’t smearing it into that pretty carpet!! =) But yes, didn’t you get the memo that moms don’t pee ?!?
Oh,,,how I can relate…I’ve had same situations…but it’s a little boy sitting on the table eating peanut butter…just last week baby grabbed my full cup of diet coke and dumped it in the chair…all I had done…turned around to answer a question…although I see lots of fingers under the door and lots of giggles..
Yep! That’s my life in a nutshell! Makes it even more exciting that my bathroom door doesn’t stay shut.
I usually get at least 2 visitors each bathroom break, if not more! Kids! Gotta love ‘em!
LOL!! Glad to know I’m not the only one!!
That is hilarious! I don’t even bother shutting the bathroom door anymore. It’s always about that time that someone has a question or needs a bandaid!
this is my life! But usually it ends in something getting broken or someone getting bitten! LOL!
Wait, what? You get to go to the bathroom by yourself???
Oh my! That is the story of my life!!!! Thanks for sharing. I feel so much better now!
I’m laughing with you and not at you. This is hilarious! I still remember walking around in the bathroom while my mom used the toilet. I also remember reading somewhere that you should take your baby in a carseat into the bathroom while you take a shower, if there is no adult to care for your child. Oh, the life of a mother!
Bathroom? You get to actually go there? I thought that was just another closet.
Yesterday I went once…. and this is what happened.
At least she was using the correct utensil. This is an almost daily event in our house and my son just reaches right into the jar with his hands….good times….
I’ve actually considered buying myself depends! Ugh!
This has happened at our house too! Took a shower and came out to find my then 2 year old eating a block of cheese! lol~~ Girl loves her cheese! Glad to know its happened else where too!
I think your Cora and my Matthew are twins separated at birth! Too many similarities. lol
Oh I love that it’s the same all over the world!!! Last time when I was on the loo my little son (almost 5) came in WITH HIS FRIEND…
LOL!!!!!! That tops anything I’ve got!
Thanks for that – I have a carpet a similar colour to yours and was cleaning a large blob of chocolate pudding off it this morning. On days like this, it does help to know you’re not alone!
at least it was pb and not your secret stash of nutella
ROFLOL!
Oh the relief and affirmation we as Mommies experience when we discover our lives are really not all that different from others. Thanks for posting.
A day in the life of Mom! I am afraid to ever walk out of the room with my 6! My 3 year old is into finding new ways of hurting his baby sister. So I have to keep my eyes peeled!
thanks for the laugh!
Hahahahahaha!
I recently stumbled across your blog, it’s very nice to meet you =)
This makes me smile =)….I make my son sit on his chair in the bathroom and read me a book (he cant read so he makes up stories) so I can shower…lol
Goodness, this reminds me of the time I took my eyes off my 2 year old for a *second* (in the same room even!) and found my 2 year old greased up in butter… A LOT of it! Oh, the joys of motherhood!
Seriously, one of my goals for this year was to be able to go to the bathroom alone instead of with 3 out of 5 of my children. After this I might give up that idea and just be thankful that I know where they are
This post made me go look up a picture from 6ish years ago when my oldest was then about 2 1/2, right before his brother was born. I was out of the room for a few minutes, left him eating his lunch in the living room and walked back in to find him with a new plate and a mountain of Cheetos poured onto the plate. We’re talkin’ a Costco-sized bag too. The picture I have is of him looking up at me, Cheetos in mouth with the most innocent of looks. I was too impressed with his speediness that I couldn’t even get mad. lol I love that this post made me think of that moment….that same boy was teaching his youngest brother to ride his bike this morning. ::sigh:: Where does the time go?!?
I sooo needed a laugh! I am thankful that our 1/2 bathroom is in the middle of the house where I can see in and here most things, but then I still get a lot of visitors….or I come out and find the baby doing something like yours…too funny!
At least you got to use the potty on your own; when my sons were a little younger, we had some of their friends over and I *HAD* to go – wouldn’t you know, all four (mine & friends) trooped in to ask some question, and at the end as they were leaving, one of the friends says to me, “You have a big bottom.”
The life of moms…it’s too horrifying to make a movie, no one would believe it was true…
SO true. SO true! Been there, done that.
Ahhhh, the joys!!
Oh well at least she was not using it as paint for the walls. I left my then 2 year old to run to the potty (she was watching baby Einsteins) and came back to peanut butter and jelly on the walls. And magic erasers did not help. I really should have gotten a picture of that before we painted over it. I still have no idea how that child opened those jars.
Sometimes I just try to hold it until Daddy comes home. It’s nice to see other families are as crazy as mine.
Oh my goodness! This is classic! Well, at least she selected a healthy snack
*giggle* too cute! That is exactly why my laptop is in the dining room.
Oh, hee hee. That is hilarious! It is amazing what kids can get into and how quickly they can do it.
I’m not sure when your site design changed – but it is lovely!
That Cora is BEAUTIFUL – look at all that hair! : )
Too cute! This reminds me of my son when he was younger. He grabbed his stool and hopped up on it to reach the countertop in the kitchen. Next thing we knew, he was chomping on a pork chop that I had just made for dinner.
