Question by Goddess of Nuts PBUH: Please help me complete my ‘bad mommy’ compilation?
Insert your addition to add to my compilation of things I have assessed from the lay persons here of the world, on Y!A that have been deemed to be telltale of a bad mommy, and children that are scarred for life and all of this Universe’s eternity:
*Letting baby sleep in it’s crib
*spanking
*saying NO
*punishments that involve physical exertion/exercise or work
*not breastfeeding longer than 1 year
*failure to co-sleep until said child is 5
*failure to feed said child all organic produce
*discipline/home training
*disciplining a child in public
*not crying when said child begins kindergarden
*if you were indeed happy to see your child begin growing up
*ever needing a break from your kids
_______________________ My mind goes blank. I think I may have listed them all, but I am certain I missed some. Please help me so I can properly annotate these deficiencies and create a checklist. Maybe I’ll publish it to help mommies everywhere be better mommies. Including me.
Dunks additions: *daycare, failure to cloth diaper, and not holding kids all day. Good additions!! I can’t beleive I forgot those.

Answer by Amber D
I do many of those things. If that is true, I must be a despicable mommy , and proud of it.
Add your own answer in the comments!
Putting them in daycare
Not holding them constantly
One I ran in to
Using disposible diapers instead of cloth
I’m a little confused. Is your list a list of things moms should do?
bottle feeding instead of breast feeding.
*Not chewing up the child’s food and then regurgitating it into their mouth till their 18.
*Not shaming them and telling them their feces is evil.
*Not letting them know they were born with orginal sin and no matter what they do, they’re going to burn in hell for all eternity.
*Not killing thier beloved goldfish in front of thier eyes buy squeezing it when drunk and belligerent.
bad mommy: doesn’t take care of herself; her world revolves around her children and she neglects taking care of herself.
Being tired!!
wow Im sorry but I would say you have some very unrealistic expectations of being a mother. In todays society where it takes two working parents to provide just the basic essentials for their children, these ideas you have proposed are ludicrous. In general I understand the principles behind it, but that doesent mean it can be put into action. I stayed at home with my toddler until he was two, and it put us in a financial hardship that I am now paying for. But to me making sure I was there for him during that time was more important. It’s very difficult to juggle the responsibilitys of being a parent when society itself sets the rules against you. And I must say you pretending to judge others as bad mothers because they cant live up to these expectations makes you a bad mommy that is teaching your own children the hypocricy of judgement. Good luck to you and your children
You forgot driving drunk with the kids in the car.
Why is failure to co-sleep bad? and why is needing a break from the kids bad? Parents need a sex life, and a break
feeding your children fast food or prepackaged food
vaccinating
circumsizing
not caring what everyone else thinks
having a life that doesn’t always revolve around your children
It cracks me up that a lot of people aren’t getting the sarcasm in this question.
*letting the baby cry instead of running to it’s side at every little whimper
*telling your child to be quiet in church, movie, etc.
*setting a curfew for your child as they get older
*using (God forbid) cloth diapers
*not allowing your kids to run around in the department stores
*not giving in every time your child whines that they want something
I’m sure there are more.
