Bad Mom Alert

Obviously, I have screwed up somewhere.

My son pitched a fit this morning — in his quiet, “I’m mad at you but I’m just going to sit here with red eyes and think miserable thoughts at you” kind of way — because I didn’t have the right kind of cereal in the house.

Now, I think he just woke up cranky and if it hadn’t been cereal, it would have been something else.

But dang. We weren’t OUT of cereal, we just didn’t have anything neon-colored.

So I’m torn between feeling like a bad mom because I don’t have the right kind of cereal or going all militant-vegan-sugarless on his scrawny little behind. Probably something in between is the right answer.

    I vote militant-vegan-sugarless.

    But I’m kinda militant-sugarless anyway. :razz:

    Is there room for me to join you in BadMomland? I was out of whipped cream to put on her oatmeal! How could I expect her to eat breakfast with no whipped cream?

    Been there, Sela. Some days nothing you do is right with your kids. I had one of those days on Monday.

    Oh, girl, that’s his choice, not yours. In the immortal words of Bennie Lopez, if you don’t like what I have, “Eat dirt then.” I got over that a long time ago!

    Glad to know I’m not the only one! He has apparently gotten over it and asked me very nicely if I’d scramble some eggs for him this morning. I can do that. :)

    :cool: Some days are like that. I had some quick breakfasts to nuke and share to rave reviews, but then the following week, DS gags at the jimmy dean biscuit. I made him eat it. I’m so mean.
