Bad Parenting

I don't even know why I'm blogging about this...oh who am I kidding, it's about my favorite subject so of course I'm writing this. I do think it really shows how much parents lose their minds by the end of the week, though.

We finished dinner tonight and headed upstairs get Jack changed for bed. We decided to let him have some naked time and he loved it. He ran all over the place and just as we were about to finish up naked time, yup, he peed on the floor. Because he was in the bathroom, it was no big deal and we (Brian) cleaned it up. After that, though, Kate started coming out of her room with different books saying "Pretend Jack peed on this book and I had to clean it up with my dress." What?! Okay. That's her new thing "Pretend I..." Usually it involves her in some sort of peril or distress, but this made us laugh. She kept coming out and asking who peed on her books...so of course I had to cross the line. I know that I'm an adult and it's my responsibility to teach my kids good manners and appropriateness...yada yada yada. She came out with 'The Giving Tree' and I told her "I totally pooped inside 'The Giving Tree' and then closed the book." SHE LOVED IT! Not in a funny way but in a total 'Mommy is playing with me' way. She got really mad at me and told me that next time I should use the bathroom, not a book...then she came out with 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish'. Duh...I just said "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Poo Fish." Again, she scolded me for pooping in a book and came back with another. Well, after a few more books and a little more grossness, Brian and I decided we should at least try and be good parents. Here she is being mad that I pooped in her books.
