Not only am I a mean mommy, I am a mean teacher! Extra points for me! The word verification is "uroclog." It sounds like the name of a UTI.

You know that book 1-2-3 Magic? I sort of do that, but it's more like 1-2-3 MEAN MOMMY.

Where's the Mean Mommy Badge? I really need one of those. As my 14-year-old son likes to tell me "You're ruining my life!" "Ah, yes dear son. It's mandatory that I make your life as miserable as possible, I had to sign a contract before bringing you home from the hospital. Now, mow the lawn and if you miss a spot you'll have to fix it with scissors." I'm sure he heard some cackling as he walked, hmmm, no, stomped away.

Damn, my kid hates me because I won't buy her Lucky Charms. I guess that makes me a Mean Mommy! Huzzah!

I am a paragon of motherhood...no one could EVER call me a mean mommy. Not my kids (because they're duct-taped to the wall), not my husband (because I have threatened to keep his balls in a mason jar if he crosses me this week) and DEFINITELY not Child Protective Services (who learned that taking my kids for a week is not a lesson, it is a VACATION FOR ME!).

I am a good and kind mommy. The lady at the bottom of my vodka bottle says so.

Snicker. Yep. You got me. Mean mommy.

This is just great! I found you through the Always-Right and Lovely Mom-101 and - she was Right.
Anyway, this is a great post. As a Former Mean Mommy, now Emeritus, you brought back familiar moments and offered a magnificent menu of solutions.... Oh that you had been around to offer a few (wise and rueful) laughs like this 20 years ago.....

P.S. Have you read "Confessions of a Slacker Mom"? She takes Mean Mommying to a whole new level!

What a delightful blog! Thanks so much for the nod -- I'll be stopping by again soon!

2009-06-04T11:38:18.349-04:00

You had me laughing so loud my daughter came to see what I was doing. I told her I was reading about mean mommies. She looked at me in horror and rolled her eyes.

2009-06-04T09:25:48.068-04:00

I am SO a mean mommy. Play your freaking trumpet, no trampolines EVER and you can read Twilight when your 13 like your sister did.

And clean your damn room for God's sake!

I'm so a mean mommy. Coincidentally, I blogged about it in a roundabout way just today.

2009-06-03T20:58:38.968-04:00

I was all prepared to loan you the trumpet from *our* trumpet failure. Pretty much same exact deal. In fact, I was trying to learn at the same time in order to offer moral support. He kept 'forgetting' to go to class.

Seriously, are you talking about my kids?

I'm so mean my kids couldn't even play with the trains at all. *And* they had to listen to me lecture about all the nose picking kids who'd probably already touched and sneezed on the trains before we got there.

2009-06-03T19:45:03.109-04:00

Don't scream but my next door neighbor is giving us her pre-used drum kit, in fine condition, absolutely free. This means they'll probably love it until they need to "upgrade" and I have to buy them a larger kit, at which time they'll quit.

And, you know what a mean mommy I am? I make my daughter DO MATH! Can you imagine?! Who even uses math anymore? It's archaic!

My almost 3 year old's favorite saying right now is "Mom, you mean" SOoooo I pretty much can say I am a mean mommy.

2009-06-03T17:01:41.191-04:00

Ooo. I think I might be way off the charts in Mean Mommitude. I'm sure my lovely, sweet, darling daughter - who, by the way happens to be chock full of character due to her many, many years of suffering my mean mommyness - will be more than happy to chime in when she reads this.

You are too, too funny.

2009-06-03T16:36:07.990-04:00

Whoa, your bookstore has a train table? Little Clive needs to get down on his chubby knees and thank Biblios! All our local bookstore has is...books!

I am a mean mommy, and I didn't even have to take the test. It's good to have a purpose in life.

I heaved a big sigh. Mine are only 2 1/2 an 4 mos, but I can see all this coming down the pike. And re: Little Clive, I have been known to "pack-in" bribes when going to the train table bookstore.

I'm mean. Mean to the bone.

You're funny. Funny to the funny bone.
