Confessions Of A Lazy Parent

May 12, 2015 By Heather Rodefer Leave a Comment

1

Raising kids is tiring work!  I am sure we have all had those moments where we just throw in the towel and take the somewhat unorthodox, yet so much simpler route to do something!  So let’s hear it…what are YOUR lazy parent confessions?  Here is a list of a few of ours to get you started, and help you realize that no, you are not alone!  Just head over to our Facebook page and comment with YOUR confessions!

  • My first thought when my daughter got her license was, “YES, now she can go to the store for me!”
  • I have (on more than one occasion) purchased new socks and underwear because there weren’t any clean ones!
  • Used plastic forks and paper plates when there were no clean dishes
  • Eat outside or in living room because the dining room table isn’t cleaned off
  • Served cereal for dinner!!!
  • Only read every few pages; skipping to the end of the bedtime story when I’m too exhausted to deal anymore!
  • Throwing away Tupperware when its been in the fridge too long and I don’t dare open it!
  • I also vacuum all our hardwood floors, much easier than sweeping & picking up the dirt.
  • Microwaving a hot dog for lunch because getting bread, peanut butter, & jelly requires too much effort!
  • I have 5 laundry baskets of clean laundry. Every morning I dig through them to dress my kids.  Who has time to put laundry away?!
  • I only clean the toy room when we have company over (and that depends on who the company is). It looks like a tornado has gone through. I used to pick up every day, then it became a couple times a week to once a week. Now, it’s just when we know someone is coming over.
  • I reuse the same pan every day for breakfast.  Who wants to wash pots and pans on a daily basis?!
  • I throw dishes away that are baked on or left in the fridge.
  • I leave things in the fridge to go bad instead of clearing it out and washing those dishes right away!
  • I clean my daughter’s favorite cup by adding dish soap, hot water and replace cap and shake it clean.
  • I stuff dishes in the oven instead if washing them when company was coming over.
  • Sometimes I hide in the bathroom and actually lock the door when Daddy’s home so I don’t have to change another poopy diaper!
  • I’m also guilty of sleeping in & wearing the same clothes. My comfy clothes double as my pj’s and on the days I don’t leave the house, I don’t change my clothes!
  • I text my kids in the other room instead of getting up and walking over to talk to them.
  • I don’t want to start my 7 month old of solid foods cause then I’ll have to start actually feeding her instead of just breastfeeding. It’s just so much easier.
  • My toddler has been potty trained during the day for over 8 months (turns 3 next month) but I still put a pull up on her at night because I don’t want to clean up a mess if she has an accident.
  • Washing the dishes is one of my least favorite chores so I often store leftovers in ziploc bags so I can just toss them & have less dishes to wash as we use them.
  • I have my son dress in what he is going to wear the next day before he goes to bed so we can sleep in longer and not have to get dressed in the morning.
  • I have wrapped presents by leaving them in store bags and just put a bow on the bag.
  • The clothes in my dresser are far from being folded… My kids dressers and neatly organized because I pay my 11 year old to keep the dressers tidy.
  • I hide from my kids in the bathroom so I can read.
  • I hide toys that make too much noise and internationally by Dollar Tree batteries so they will die quickly.
  • I look for shoes with velcro so I don’t have to tie them.
  • I play hide and seek with my son and may delay in seeking to get 5 minutes of quiet….He also may have fallen asleep waiting on me.
  • I have slept in my son’s bed just so I don’t have to remake mine.
  • I use towels directly out of the dryer.
  • I buy my kids microwavable pancakes and French toast sticks so I don’t have to make them breakfast.
  • I have brought the Pillsbury brownies from the bakery at Sam’s club and put them on a plate to make it look like I baked them.
  • I yell my kids names in the house to make sure they are in the house instead of looking.
  • I sleep on top of my comforter in the summer, so I don’t have to make the bed.
  • I rarely iron clothes. The dryer and a wet towel do it for me.
  • My husband puts a lock on our TV within a certain time frame. It doesn’t unlock until 730 am. I told my kids the pass code so I can sleep in on Saturdays & Sundays.
  • If my daughters hair is super snarly I wrap it in a bun . too much time and effort to brush.
  • I will call one of the kids down from wherever they are to let the dog out because I just do not want to do it.
  • I didn’t have any water, so I licked the babies pacifier clean.
  • I set the clocks back an hour so I could put the kids to bed early!
  • I tossed a towel down over the spot my baby peed on the sheets while being changed and went back to sleep.
