I yelled at a puppy tonight. In front of my son. I am a horrible horrible Mother. This puppy? Rosco - my neighbor’s dog who visits us? He’s the cutest thing ever. He’s sweet, he’s smart, he doesnt bite me, and I yelled at him. In front of my son. I think LilZoot is filing emancipation papers right now on the grounds that I’m a “Yeller at Puppies”.
Oh. But it gets worse. Not only did I yell at the puppy. The cute, adorable, sweet puppy who kinda peed all over my new comforter. Not only did I yell at the cutie-pie in front of LilZoot, but when LilZoot freaked out because Rosco also peed on his arm? I said “Who cares - its just pee on your arm, which you can WASH. Just go WASH it. My comforter can NOT be washed in the sink like your arm can”.
I am evil. I actually trivialized URINE on my son’s ARM because my comforter had pee on it too. Somehow? In my psychotic hormonal brain? The pee on the comforter was much more repulsive than the pee on the arm that developed in my WOMB for Christ’s sake.
It serves me right that I later busted my ass while taking the garbage out to the dumpster. I have a feeling I’ll be working off the bad Karma (Dharma?) I earned tonight for a long time. The bad Karma (Dharma?) I earned while YELLING at a PUPPY and IGNORING the URINE on my son’s arm. Then, eventually I’ll die, and I’ll have to spend eternity in the spot in hell reserved for people who yell at puppies. Which luckily, is next to the spot reserved for mothers who ignore dog piss on their son’s arm. I am so mean. Mean Mean Mean MsZoot.
You need a slap on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. JUST kidding. Could be worse! You coulda kicked it!
I have had many, many, many moments like that. Don’t be so hard on yourself. It is good for LilZoot to see that even Mommy can lose it from time to time. And if not, you can do like I do, keep a savings account for your child’s future therapy!
my kharma ran over your dogma.
no, seriously … don’t worry about it. we all have momentary … um … moments. whatever, you get my drift. right?
Well……if you go to hell for that I’ll be there waiting for you..
Well, I yell at my DEAF cat in front of my stepson. And I also make him clean up dog AND cat poop. So who’s the worse mother here, huh? Can’t beat me!
Also, your “live preview” thingy up here freaks me out.
What Nicole said :)) Well think, what would Dr. Phil say?
Don’t pay attention to what I’m rambling here I don’t even know what a comforter is!
Oh, don’t worry about it. People yell at animals. Animals pee on things. Pee washes off. These things happen. The fact that you’re worried about being the worst mom ever makes you so NOT the worst mom ever. Its not bad karma, not bad dharma but its some pretty evil greg.
Don’t worry about it, now LilZ has a great story to tell his kids how crazy their Grandma is.
Did you yell at it before it peed? Maybe it was your yelling that caused him to get scared and pee on LittleZ? Just kidding. I would have done the same thing. You’re a good Momma. Don’t sweat it.
Take solace in the fact that you’re a much better mother than me…b/c I’m not quite sure what it is you did that made you so “bad”. That’s exactly what my reaction would have been.
Though I will say in my defense that I have no washer so I’d be stressing that I had to go out to wash the damn thing, too.
