Share your funny parenting mishaps and stories here. Don't be ashamed. We have all been there.
You can even share you “manias” about how you raised or are raising your child. Remember it is all in fun, for the sake of learning and it is meant to help others.
So, the worse and more shameful your stories are the better everyone else will feel about themselves. (Feel free to use poetic licence with all aspects of the stories)

I cringe ever time I catch myself using inappropriate language (i.e. 4 letter words) in front of my daughter. My wife and I can literally have a 3 hour conversation (for example), and 1 bad word slips out, and boom, my daughter doesnt miss a beat and catches it (not quite understanding its meaning or context, but definitely recognizing instantly that its forbidden, and sometimes adults add these words to convey a certain emphasis, albeit inappropriately). I try and teach my daughter these words are the realm of adults only, and that even then they arent acceptable. She always listens and moves on, but I always feel terrible. Then a month later I do it all over again.

I have one for you guys. When my two year old was born my wife and I made a deal that I would no longer cuss, swear and refrain from using my favorite four letter word. (I drive a truck) It rhymes with a word in that last sentence. In order to provide an incentive and put some money where my mouth was I would be fined each time I said a vulgarity. In the first day I owed my wife about two hundred bucks. Within the first week she gave up and stopped counting.
I have become much better at expressing my emotions and have learned to control myself better. I also started a direct deposit into our sons saving account each month. While my vocabulary has grown so has our two year old. Once I a while I slip, and sure enough, its like he knows what I said and he starts screaming the bad word.
It seems, I am always making the bed because I am always looking for the clean “Sheeets.”
p.s. My son does the same thing. He can be in the zone watching Barney and one word comes from the kitchen and bam. I didn't know that word was in the Barney song.

I travel a lot and leave my wife home alone with our son. At times, I can be away for days. It may not seem like much but I know that my son can be a handful.
Well, we have been taking our son to day care for an hour a day. At day care, whenever the kids do things well they receive a stamp from an ink pad. So, for Christmas someone gave our son a stamp with the built in ink in it. You know the one. It's that one you have that has your return address or business name on it. We use it all the time as a reward and he loves it. He especially loves the blue one.
One day while I was at work, my wife was having a terrible time putting him down for a nap. He kept screaming stamp over and over again. About an hour into the struggle she gave in and gave him the blue stamp to take with him into the crib. Silence.
Needless to say, when my wife went to wake him after his afternoon nap, she got quite a surprise. She was looking into the crib and papa smurf was looking back at her saying mommy. There was so much ink on him that when I came home from work the next day, he still had a slight blue tint to him.
Nothing a little more soap can't cure.
Yes, I ratted my wife out…Not very good leadership.

I called my teen age son “sweet heart” in front on his friends and then I gave him “too much” advice on being a nice boy. After I left his friends teased him a lot. Be careful what you say to your kids in front of his friends, it might backfire.
