because I I just love reading them I came across a website that had loads of
mummy confessions and it just had me giggling and nodding along to all of
them I'll leave the website linked below in
any case but I have a few confessions of my own to make and I thought I would
share it with you guys and this video is only meant to be light-hearted and

technology and yeah I share a little bit of everything here on my channel so do
stick around and please do subscribe if you like my content and let's get
straight into the confessions so confession number one and that is one
for the mummy Beauty enthusiasts out there I have slept with my makeup on
since becoming a murmur more often than I care to admit and I am a really big
beauty fan before I became a mom I was all about the makeup and the beauty
staff my channel even started off as a beauty channel where I do makeup
tutorials and stuff and I was and still kind of am the biggest advocate for
removing your makeup before bed I used to give my friends such a hard time if
they slept with makeup on and I used to say you cannot sleep with makeup on your
face it will clog your pores it will destroy your skin and since becoming a
mum I kind of have done quite a few times especially in the newborn days
when just didn't want to risk waking the baby
by opening a pack of wipes or even turning the tap on in the sink a big
bathroom to wash my face so yeah I have slept with makeup on a lot and even more
than that I have topped up old makeup from the night before with new makeup
because I just didn't want to have to remove to reapply and this is not a
frequent thing it's not something I do all the time but I have done it quite a
few times and I'm not proud to say that so please do remove your makeup off your
face before you go to bed it is not good for you and if you can relate to that
leave a comment below and let me know so mummy confession number two I have
once given my child unlimited sweets just so that I could
finish a very important conversation and it was it wasn't a very proud moment of
mine I just gave him the bowl of sweets and said sit quietly happiest sweets
whilst mummy has this important conversation so have you ever done that
bribed your child with something that's really bad for them just so that you
could finish something important mummy confession number three I think is
something that a lot of us will nod along and relate to and is that I have
given my child my phone or the iPad first thing in the morning when they're
up far too early for me to even open my eyes and I've let them watch baby TV or
Peppa Pig in bed with me whilst I snooze for an extra 5 or 15 or half an hour and
yeah a lot of the times I actually get woken up by the phone falling on my head
like today it fell on the side of my head and I just said right that's it now
but if you can relate to that the move of comment below and let me know
mummy confession number 4 I have worn maternity pajamas even when I wasn't
pregnant and for about the year after had my baby
they're just the comfiest thing on earth don't you agree like I have a pair of
maternity dramas from George Asda I think they are like black with white
but you've probably seen it if you've watched my videos before when I was
pregnant I used to live in them and I even bought a second pair because I
loved them so much but they are the comfiest things on earth and oh my gosh
I've warned them so much not being pregnant they're just great who else
loves maternity pajamas I just absolutely love them especially the
bottoms not so much the top but the pajama bottoms the ones that go over the
bump and that are really stretchy and just they yes they're great
mummy confession number five I pretty much feel done when it comes to being a
mum at 7 p.m. it gets to 7 o'clock and my body just feels like right I'm ready
to just be in silence I'm ready to not have to talk to anyone or tell anyone
what to do about anything or I'm just done
it comes 7 o'clock and my body is just done obviously there are days when my
kids are up after 7 o'clock if we're traveling or something and I just have
to have that extra little bit of patience after 7 o'clock but usually
gets to 7 o'clock and my body is just like you're done now it's time for you
both to go to sleep so that mummy can reenergize and recompose I'm very lucky
that both of mine go to sleep at around about 6:00 so I still have an hour
tolerance after 6:00 where I feel like yeah it gots to parent quite well for
another hour but then it comes to 7 o'clock I'm like right bedtime come on
time to sleep close your eyes let me know if any of you can relate to that
feeling of getting to 7 o'clock and feeling like this is your time and you
don't want kids around mummy confession number 6 is one that I
am not very proud of and I feel quite guilty after I do it and is that I have
used the excuse that the grass is wet in the park when I've just boil the kettle
to have a cup of tea and I really want to have my tea hot I've used that excuse
quite a few times and I feel really bad after I do it and I just kind of wonder
whether or not like the gods would be watching me and and blaming me for not
taking my children out of the park but if they're like really asking me to go
to the park and go outside play and my tea is nice and warm like no
the grass is wet we just got to wait for it to dry and then I finish my tea and
like miraculously the grass has dried and I take them outside what was your
excuse let me know mummy confession number seven this is
one for any of you who have fussy eaters like me I feed my children
spag bol several times a week because I know that that's something they will eat
and eat well and I don't know if that's like something bad I feel like it's bad
because I feel like I should be giving them like all these kinds of different
meals and have the variety of things but every time that I do a variety of things
in the week it all goes to waste and if I just bag Bowl like three times a week
or four times a week they eat it all and it's not like it's unhealthy it's
homemade food and they're still eating it so I don't feel too bad about it but
it's definitely something that I feel like I might not mention that to the
mums at the playground because they might die kind of look at me with
judgmental eyes and I hope that a lot of you watching this video are not like the
mums at the playground that you'll be like more understanding and be on the
same page as me so what is the meal that your children will eat every single time
and do you feed them that meal a lot let me know so that I don't feel so bad
about what I do mummy confession number eight this is
not something related to the kids but it's all more related to me after having
kids is that I have a lot of accidents when I sneeze and yeah I don't need to
say much more than that but I didn't do my pelvic floor exercises as I should
have done them and if you're pregnant and you're watching this video do your
pelvic floor exercises do them right now because you will not regret it it takes
a few minutes of your day and you will not have accidents when you sneeze yeah
I think this is mummy confession number nine now but I've lost Council next
mummy profession I have given my children fake medicine and I think I
feel like I have to explain this one so my two little ones are 1 and 3 so
when one of them is ill the other one always wants medicine and you can't
really reason with a 1 year old or a 3 year old and say no you
can't have it well you can but it will be a real struggle like a big long
conversation that I just don't want to have so a lot of the times when one is
ill and the other one says I want medicine as well I go yeah I'll go and
get your medicine and I just get the little couple syringe I put some squash
in there some juice or just something that has got a slight taste to it and I
just give it to them and they're happy then that they've had medicine as well
when it's not actually medicine so have you ever done that my mom used to do
that to me a lot and she only confessed it recently that she used to give me she
used to put like sugar in water and then give it to me and tell me that it was
medicine and she actually told me that I used to fake having headaches a lot
which I don't remember but she said that every time that I said I had a really
bad headache and I didn't want to go to school she was to give me that sugary
water kind of thing and tell me that that was like the best medicine for
headache and after half an hour she'd asked me if I was feeling better and I'd
say yeah much better mummy I'm feeling so good now thank you for
that medicine so it's an old trick it's not something that I've invented it's
something that's been done before mummy confession number ten involves
electronics again and is that I use the iPad with all those crazy egg opening
videos that Todd listen to be obsessed with and I give it to my child so that I
can go and clean the house and the kitchen without someone clinging onto my
legs and I kind of feel bad for that but I just know that it's necessary like the
house needs to be cleaned so you know I feel a bit bad just because I am kind of
you know saying you go and sit down with the iPad which is I don't know I don't
know why I feel bad about tea I shouldn't because it's not that bad is
it let me know if you do that as well and the last mummy confession that I
have to share with you today is that I have birthed my children with wet wipes
when they're too tired to reason and yeah I did that yesterday actually
Sabella was really tired and she was just tantrum me and crying and I just
thought you know what we don't even have time for a bath let's just wet wipe all
over you under out everywhere and just gave her a little wet wipe clean gave
her her milk straight to bed and I felt kind of bad because after I finished
cleaning her and we went to the bathroom to clean her teeth she saw the bath and
she went bath time and I was like no you've had your bath already this is
your bath so yeah this is something I feel a little bit bad when they pick up
on it but if they don't then I know that I've just avoided more tantrums and
meltdown so that when they're tired sometimes not always as sometimes I do
bad and yeah I wonder if anyone else does that let me know so I have plenty
of more things that I do but this is all that I was going to share for this video
