Things mums don't want to admit

As a mum you don't usually like to admit when times get tough, when you've hardly had any sleep because, A) your child has decided to take a sleep strike or B) you needed some down time and by down time I mean, half bottle of wine and copious amounts of offspring which then occurs to you as a bad idea in the am (we've all been there). I can't always blame Xavier for the choices I make or the excuses I use but I do, it's easier to blame a two year old for your messy house rather then to admit that you've just been a lazy bitch and avoided it like the plague. 
So here comes a few things I will admit I have used as excuses or even reasons I have told myself to make me feel better about why the washing pile has grown.
1. Sorry about my messy house, I've been so busy lately. Many of my family and friends have heard this come out of mouth and I know you all know that is not the truth. But I thank you  for saying that's ok you should see mine everytime, no really thanks.
2. The old we should catch up soon, it's been awhile. It's been awhile because catching up for coffee or lunch is about as easy as toilet training your toddler. Yep!
3. I feed my child vegetables every night, let's be honest here that's a big lie! We'll feed our toddlers whatever they'll eat, Xavier had a carrot stick for dinner with nachos but his tummy was full and so that means he'll sleep and that's the main thing.
4. I will never laugh the day my child says a swear word. Guilty, I had a giggle, it was funny however it is not funny when your in the supermarket and your toddler suddenly decides it's the perfect time to drop the f-bomb. 

5.  Last but not least, I am the perfect mother and I love to share. No I don't love to share the Chocolate bar I bought or the vanilla frappe with extra cream. You know why I got that extra cream not so I could share it with my little duckling, I got it because I like extra cream FOR MYSELF! Ok so I've hid in a different room so I don't have to share. I know we teach our children to be kind and share with others but sometimes as a mum I want that extra cream for myself. Do I feel guilty? not really, sorry. Xavier double dips and I have to admit I'm not a fan of the salvia sharing.

In saying all of this my life as a mum is pretty perfect or so I perceive on Instagram.
