Thanks for sharing. I was in tears from laughing reading it aloud to DH.

Done it all and not ashamed of it.

I have only picked up food off my own floor or my parents floor.

I didn't cut up grapes at all for DD1 until she was about 3 and the BBB mommy guilt got to me. DD2 is 2 and I don't cut up her grapes.

This is so hilarious!! What about cutting up a grape with your own teeth and giving it back to the child, lol!

LOL I used to do that with cherries - bite off 2/3 (including the pit) for myself and then give the pit-free remaining 1/3 to DD2.

Just this evening I PEELED the grapes, then bit them in half and gave both halves to DS3 (yes, including the half that had been in my mouth). I also cut blueberries in half. DH saw the grapes and was like "Did you PEEL these?" then handed DS3 a bunch of grapes (cut up, but with the skins) which he ate with no problem. Sigh. But really, who knew you can chew a grape skin when you only have 2 teeth?

Great list by the way. I have no doubts that we at the BBB could come up with a list that is pages long & would have people :rotflmao:.

I have kids that did not get first teeth till past 12 months. They could chew steak with those hard toddler gums. I was amazed.

OMG, hysterical. So glad I'm past the "let someone barf in your hand" stage. I sent this to a co-worker who is due with her first at the end of July.

I still do this for my 3 yr. old who can't spit out pits! Only if I'm too lazy to get out the cherry pitter (which attaches to the table so its a bit of a PITA), or find a knife to cut out the pit.......biting it is so much quicker and cleaner!

Here are mine:
Brush someone's teeth against their will.
Blow on food while it's in someone else's mouth.
Eat food that's fallen out of someone else's mouth.
Eat food you found on the floor.
Wipe somebody's nose with your bare hand.
Let somebody barf in your bare hand.
Eat baby food.
Blame a fart on a child.
Blame a child's fart on your spouse.
Pass out from blowing up a kiddie pool. - does being extremely lightheaded count?
Cut up a grape.
Ask someone why their hair smells like Gogurt.
Let someone watch you crap while they stare blankly eating a popsicle.
Have someone think you're amazing at frisbee.


And many more interesting things!

And it's not just the kids. I have pulled poop out of a dog's a$$, with my bare hands, because I had nothing else nearby to do it with and the dog was freaking out over the poop dangling by a hair and bumping the back of her legs.

All these things seem so reasonable in the moment but when you see them listed out like that in one place, well yeah.... Let's just say if there weren't children involved, we'd all seem bat crap crazy. I mean more than we already feel on a given day.
