Worst Mom of the Year

So as I drove to work today I realized I deserved (another) award for worst Mom of the year. I gave some rather horrible un-mom-like advice to my daughter this morning. It really seemed like a good idea at the time but now that I think about it Evelynn is so going to rat me out! Lol
What is this wonderful classy advice you may wonder. I do want to tell you but worry on how you will judge me. I don’t have a script to read from when it comes to giving my daughter great heart warming advice (unlike Danny Tanner from Full House).

OK let me play it out for you. In the bathroom, brushing my teeth, Evelynn is telling me how a boy at school tells her she is the ugliest thing he has seen. (I know shocking) So my first advice was they typical mommy advice. “Ohhh I bet he has a little crush on you hunny that’s why he says those things”. No way she is not having it. He is an older boy she says but not sure how old. It is very mean and hurtful for him to say these things to here she says…and I concur.

“Well….I guess the best thing to say to him would be; I am rubber you are glue whatever you say bounces of me and sticks to you!”

Evelynn looked lost. Too long she will never be able to remember that she says. OK..well Mommy has another plan up her sleeve.

“I know you are but what am I?!”

Yup I went there. Yup I taught my daughter that. Yup we role played.

I just know that Evelynn will not hold back and tell everyone what her wonderful Mother taught her lol! Wow I am embarrassed. I just didn’t know what else to do for her…I felt as though I needed to give her some tools to stand up for herself in a non violent or hurtful way.

Guess I will get the bill for this in…oh 20 years or so from her therapist lol
