Mother of All Bad Mommies

I was talking to my mom on the phone today and my daughter kept touching the knobs on the stove. When I told my mom I was super frustrated with Little because she wouldn't stop, my mom suggested I come up with a contraption that shocks her every time she touches a knob. The crazy part is that she actually thought she was on to something with this insane idea. Sorry - not really into electrocuting my kids. Have you ever received bizarre mommy advice from your own parents?

totally.
for constipation apparently i should put margarine/milk of magnesium into my (then) newborn's bottle. I spoke to a doctor about this, and he said it's rather dangerous.
And that I shouldn't worry about baby-proofing the house, because when we were kids, our parents didn't - and we turned out fine!

Hmmm...well I named my little girl "Kyanne"...which I thought was pretty, most call her 'Pepper' and most call me cruel and unusual...she'll probably be made fun of for the rest of her life. Sigh...bad mommy points?
And I totally second the not-baby-proofing the house...they'll never learn, or will...when they're older. They're a lot more resilient when they're young! Most even bounce ;)

Not personally, but I can remember my mom laughingly talking about a friend who once put bourbon on her son's pacifier to calm him down. That was the early 80s... shouldn't people have known better by then... ?

This is more common that you think. My parents generation did it with schnapps & bourbon. Now I know why, although I would never do it. I'd be lying if I didn't think about how nice it would be if they just got a little sleeeeepppyyyy.....LOL

I think I am taking bad mommy of the week award this week.......I freaking forgot that my 7 year old needed to get his stitches out! Completely and totally forgot. I have been so busy with so many other things, I just completely forgot even though he is under my feet the minute he steps thru the door when he comes home. And, it is not like I can't see the freaking bald spot and stitches every time I look at his big head. JEEEEEZZZ! Can I have my crown and sash now???!!!!
