Silly mummy
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.

I'm not a mother but I have used nail polish remover by accident as well.
When I was a new baby my mum walked all the way home and only realised she didn't have me when my dad questioned her as to my whereabouts. She found me still in my pram at the checkout in Woollies.
She also packed all my baby gear in the car for a routine trip to the doc's or something, got down the road and realised she'd left me sat in my chair at home.
She's not safe ... lol :)

I've forgotten to put on the diaper cover over the cloth diaper before... only noticed after my son seemed very wet soon after being changed.
I've left the coffee cup on top of the car after putting my son into his carseat, and driven off.
I've almost walked out of the house in my pajamas, having forgotten to dress myself.
I'm sure there are others but I can't remember right now.
Sounds familiar!! Don't recall anything when mine were young, but....
Put the teapot in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard!
Started cutting my sons hair, then realised there was no 'comb' on the clippers (he nearly got shaved!)
Locked myself out of the house (twice) and had to use a ladder to get in the bedroom window!
Gone to the shop to buy rolls and came out with a magazine, cola, milk and chocolate! Or got there and totally forgot what I wanted!
Peeled potatoes, put the skins in the saucepan and the rest in the bin!!
And my 2 are teenagers!! They reckon its a sign of getting old...I call it stress!!
sprayed my hair with Mr Sheen thinking it was hair spray....was waiting for it all to fall out for days after
....fell asleep in a tea shop, head back mouth wide open, catchin flies....tactful waitress crashed a couple of spoons on the table and I was back in the land of the living...but didn't know where I was or what day it was....had taken cold medicine earlier in the day though....
I have never ceased to be amazed that I could be SO tired and still managed to function in a relatively normal fashion. I went back to work (no choice!) when my son was 4 months old I remember running at raining course for 30 people one day after only having had 30 minutes sleep the night before!I did a 10 hour round trip drive to Weston Super Mare for a meeting after 4 hours sleep which I would love to have cancelled and I realise was probably dangerous but I knew my boss would not accept 4 hours sleep as a valid reason not to go and there were 10 people all waiting for me.
i accidently overslept 4 hours when my daughter was two and i was pregnant with my son. i felt absolutly horrible when i opened her door to let her out of her room. fortunatly she had just got up, played with her toys and must of got bored and took a midmorning nap. she was happy to see me and certainly well rested!
I was so used to constantly having a breast out to feed my daughter ( she was prem and needed feeding every 2 hours day and night) that I was quite often so tired and distracted that I would walked around with my bra flap down and t'shirt pulled up, around the house. Was not a problem until I opened the door to the postman!!
I have problems with grocery stores. I always leave my keys at the checkout counter (it never fails) or leave my groceries. I have occasionally given the baby the keys to play with (anything to keep him from screaming) and proceeded to frantically search the entire store looking for them.
Also I constantly forget what I'm saying in the middle of a sentence. Or else I use a bunch of useless incomprehensible words. The other day I actually said (when someone said "We haven't seen you in a while") "We've been... not... coming...just haven't been... we're actually saving, trying to... um, yeah we haven't..." then my husband saved me.
Sometimes I remind myself of the main chick in the movie Bridget Jones' Diary.
A couple of weeks ago I locked my baby daughter in the car accidentally with the keys. I had to call the police. A van with five cops turned up: two guarded the car while the other three drove me home at full speed with sirens blaring to get spare keys! I had to try to stop myself from giggling all the way!
Threw my knickers down the loo, but fortunately realised before I relieved myself in the laundry bin.
Poured hot milk in the hot water bottle
Found some neatly wrapped cheese in a drawer with all the tea towels about 6 weeks after I bought it.
and so it goes on... and now I am in my late fifties and it can only get worse!
