Moms, we are not perfect…and we sometimes forget we are all in the same boat! Hear moms share the humor amidst the chaos in this excerpt from Jill Savage’s No More Perfect Moms:
You know you’re an imperfect mom when …
Your kid says his favorite home cooked meal is Spaghetti O’s with bread and butter. – Chanelle
Your child says her imaginary mom is nicer and always lets her do things her real mommy does not. – Dana
The smoke detector goes off and your kids ask if supper is ready. – Naomi
Your 9-year-old can get the baby to sleep better than you can. – Nicole
Your 5-year-old son asks if he can pray for you. – Sarah
Your kids ask where you are going simply because you put on decent clothes. – Ginger
You clean the house and the kids ask, “Who’s coming over?” – Gina
You have forgotten tooth fairy responsibilities so many times that when your baby loses her first tooth, her big sister warns her. “Just so you know, the tooth fairy almost never makes it the first night.” – Christy
The dishwasher is overflowing because you ran out of detergent and thought a little dish soap wouldn’t hurt. – Jessica
You catch your daughter making a “dust angel” on the hardwood floor. – Rosie
You forget to pick up your child from school when there’s an early release on Wednesday … and there’s an early release every Wednesday. – Melissa
