Ok so I am at the Dr's bored stiff waiting for myself about 1/2hr goes by so I decided to pick up what looked like the cleanest magazine Parenting and some of it well most was shtus! But one thing I laughed at was a title which said 'escaping embbarresing moments' I liked it. So I've decided to implement the title here. Obviously our embbarresing moments with our kids are not the same, but it is funny or more like embbarresing and how did you deal with it?

Even though I posted it in Body Parts I decided it belongs here! Smile
My 2 yr old asked me a week ago whats that? So I said my tummy, but she said no mummy, tummy is here... and shows me her tummy, but whats that ...... she asked, pointing upwards? so I tell her it's my chest. Thinking it was the safest answer to give to my talkative 2 yr old
On Shabbos, meal time with a couple of older guests she out of the blue started singing 'mummy has big chest, I have small chest'. embarrassed
Oh dear I had to tell her Tatty is saying a Dvar Torah now, so lets quite down!! The guests just laughed

what do you do when your kid would rather be running around the grocery store than sitting in the cart? she slips right through the belts in the cart and stands up. when we're waiting in the check-out line, she's screaming, trying to wriggle out of my arms. I feel like everyone is staring at me and my "out-of-control" kid embarrassed !

My son doesn't like to sit in the seat either and for a bit coz I have hubby with me when we go shopping (coz I can't drive yet) it was ok to let him run around coz one of us could follow him. Last time we went shopping though my husband had enough of his running round and we put him in the trolley standing and he loved it. I know it says do not put child standing in trolley so you have to push it extra slow so you don't stop suddenly. So your shopping takes double the time but it's minus the screaming and also with him running around it takes about that long anyway.

My one year old loves being in the back standing up. We almost got kicked out of Home Depot b/c their insurance policy says kids have to be in the sitting part. Apparently a child really got hurt. He wouldn't tell us details. We tried to explain that she is too small to fall out, not tall enough. We basically just walked away and finshed our shopping trip.

Once I flew to my parents with my then 20-month old daughter. She threw a fit at the air port, screaming for her father, it was really terrible, people were looking at me as if I kidnapped the child! She continued in the plane (night flight, so people were grumpy already) and only after I gave her some cola (she never got that from me, but hey, I was desperate!) she calmed down.... Confused

I love this. when ever I take my kids out all together and they miss behave, and I want to fall right through the floor, I look at the person closesst to me and say...(if my hubby) boy!! remind me never to baby sit these kids again, and then of corse I crack up, b/c every kids looks exactly like me and hubby.

Or I'll tell the kids that their mother will be here some, so they better behave, we all have a great laugh.


once my daughter came into the bathroom while I was taking a bath. I must not have noticed her, because when I came out, she said mommy I didnt know you had a beard too. OMG! embarrassed embarrassed embarrassed embarrassed embarrassed embarrassed embarrassed embarrassed
