WORST PARENTS EVER!

I am pretty sure we should put our children up for adoption and pack it in. Yep. . . We have failed as parents. Abby lost her third tooth.. We are still on our FIRST child and she lost one of her two front teeth and guess what... The next morning I found a letter from her on the kitchen table addressed to: Dear Mom and Dad: This is what it said:



When I asked Peter what happened to the "Tooth Fairy" he said, "I couldn't find my wallet!" And he knows darn well not to check my wallet because there is NEVER any money in there! The worst part is .... she woke up to tears this morning because WE FORGOT AGAIN!

Peter insists that I lose 25 % of my brain every pregnancy (it doesn't come back) and since this is number 4, you know what that means.. I forgot to remind him, and he forgot to do it.. But, NEVER FEAR! It will be done tonight. I PROMISE!

Can we have a second chance at parenting? PLEASE???

I just had my 4th and I'm with ya! No brain!

I just love the pictures kids draw and it's so nice to blog them so they can be seen and remembered.

Leah was my roommate at BYU. I'm not sure how she found your blog, but she was pretty embarrassed that you found out she'd been looking. I felt soooo bad for "outing" her. It is nice to get comments though!

Unfortunately she doesn't have a blog. I told her I'd help her start one if she ever wants to do it though. Maybe someday.

Perspective Lindsey! If the worst you are doing as parents is forgetting tooth fairy money...I think you're good! I shudder to think what you would think of me and Jon! If only you knew...

I'm guessing she's getting $5 just based on inflation, isn't she???

Ouch.

I'd take her out and buy her a pony. That's about all you can do at this point.

Doesn't she know that the tooth fairy was on vacation? Even the tooth fairy needs a Disneyland trip.

Or she can't afford the gas to get over there.

Ah, this makes for a good story.

You seriously owe her some big bucks. I have to admit, if Aric wasn't on top of it I would have forgotten the last two tooth fairy visits.

I place full on blame the tooth fairy...it's one of the only times you can blame a fictional character for your mistake. We forgot with one of Bryant's teeth and put the full blame on that forgetful, lost fairy...it totally worked. I may blame her for other stuff she has nothing to do with, like why I yell...
