Being a mum of two young boys ( 2 1/2 and 9 months) I am often run off my feet and very tired. I end up forgetting things or doing things wrong, etc. The other day I used nail polish remover instead of toner on my face. What stupid things have others mums and dads done becauase they are tired.

Fakeplastic I'm so glad I'm not the only one with 'Premature Grey Cell Aging'!!!
These are absolutely classic! Keep 'em coming please, they brighten up my day! I have another one, but since I'm not a mum myself I have to rat on my mum. My brother fell out of the car once and she didn't notice. He leant on the door, tumbled out and then just got up, went over to the pavement and sat on the wall. She would have kept driving if I hadn't brought it to her attention! OK, so this one might not have been funny in other circumstances, but hey, he's a strapping 21 year old now, so it can't have done him much harm..
LOL georgit!
Lindy, It's getting worse, couldn't find my car in the car park the other day and then realised I had parked it the other end of town!
Oh, and toothpaste instead of moisturiser......!!!!
And Yinzer, I am always forgetting what I am talking about mid sentence or change the subject, must to my husbands annoyance. Once said to my mates at work "Oh look at that kangaroo landing over their" instead of "helicopter", and knowing me so well they knew what I meant!!!!
.. and reading my last post use the wrong words like must instead of much even when I write and can't spell simple words like 'there'!.....
Talking of not being able to find your car: I've gone shopping, spent half an hour searching the car park for my car, before remembering that I walked! And I've got in the wrong car and spent a good five minutes trying to get it to start, too...
A friend of mine kept complaining how heavy her shoulder bag was, for about 3 weeks. A purse, comb, make-up bag was all she had in it!! In the end I made her actually tip it up and look. She found two rancid bottles of milk and a pair of stilletto shoes that she'd lost a month before.
I rode to school on my brothers bike once and forgot (forgot to tell him and forgot I rode it), he thought it had been nicked from the garden so the police were called, etc. When in school the following week I promptly accused the caretaker of halfinching my brothers bike when he explined that it had actually been sat in the bike shed for over a week and he assumed someone had forgotten it so was moving it to the office for lost property. Yes I felt like I felt like a prat.
Just after i went back to work after having my one year old daughter i went to work with my top on inside out. Id walked to the bus stop and sat on a bus for half an hour, walked through the city centre and i didnt realise until my colleague told me it was on inside out!!!

My mum cycled off to work and thought she didn't feel quite right.  When she got there she realised she'd forgotton to put her drawers on!  In the fifties, this would have raised many an eyebrow.

A friend of mine bought a new pair of shoes, and by the end of the day he was moan moan moaning that they hurt him. We just put it down to them being new and ignored him/ told him to shut up. It turned out he had them on the wrond feet. He's 33.

I've done the inside-out shirt thing too.

 

I have a friend who drove into downtown San Francisco one night and parked in a garage... and then completely forgot which garage he parked in.  It took days for him to find his car. 

Quite often I can be frantically looking for my mobile and then realise that I'm talking to someone on it. Leaveing my keys in the front door. Oh, I flooded the kitchen of the flat I used to live in as I was about to do the washing up and got chatting on the phone and forgot that the taps were running.
I just had to post this now.  I have just cleaned the loo with a Nivea facial wipe instead of a Parazone Toilet Cleaning Wipe.  Fortunately, I haven't used the latter on my face - probably work wonders if I did!
LOL at FakePlastic :D I love this Q cos it makes me chuckle!
LOL at Fake plastic

I remember (not long after I passed my driving test) entering a motorway on the wrong side of the road and proceeded to drive along wrong side until I reached the next junction. The police gave me a good telling off too.

I have no idea why I did it either?

Miles,

 

You drove down the motorway on the wrong side of the road?? OMG!!

 

Fakeplastic, you need to go into a 'home' asap.
