Questionable Choices in Parenting

Laughing at life as a parent so they don't commit me

  2. You got them all I think,Oh wait last time we got to go to the pool there is always one parent that was constantly shouting at her kids for no reason at all and they were both crying at the shallow end of the pool and she was paying them no mind at all,they were not enjoying their day at all.I am normally in the pool with the kids and so is my hubs lol.

  4. I am definitely mom number one. I like knowing that my kids are safe especially since there are never enough lifeguards on duty. We’ve had three drownings at area pools this summer.

    You missed the mom that uses the park as a babysitter and could care less that her manner-less children were irritating other pool guests. We saw way too many of those moms at the water park over the weekend.

  5. Sigh. I think I’m that hovering mom. My son is under 3 and is fearless when it comes to water. He needs another round of swim lessons before I think we’ll remove the Puddle Jumpers. (So he requires a lot of attention!)

  9. You missed me. I’m the mom who already has my own kids to watch and play with, but who also (always!) has other kids asking for help on the slide, in the lazy river, in the baby pool, etc., because their moms are reading the books. O.o

  11. This is funny and SO SPOT ON! A very accurate list of the moms and dads you find at the pool and even the beach. I am the high alert and the hovering mom!

  13. I wish I was the last mom. But alas I’m the hovering one. Contantly worrying about my kids in the water.

  17. I’m high alert. I sort of hate myself for it, but my kids need it right now. I’m looking forward to being the sit in the chair mom. Someday.

  18. I used to be Mom #1 – High Alert – because while I have 3 children of my own, and they are pretty good about taking care of each other with a huge difference in age; I always take other kids to the pool with us – which means I am everywhere at once. However, since my kids have gotten older and I am really running with 2 now, I am more #5 – chair sitting and chilling. I leave other people’s kids at home more often now that I realize I am the crazy mom who ALWAYS has everyone else’s children – but is rarely without her own!

  22. I am totally the High Alert kind of Mom at the pool. I have three kids and I am constantly on guard and cannot have any conversations that require me to partake in them for too long because my eyes and mind has to be on my three kids in the pool. Constantly.

  24. Haha this is hilarious! I’m not on the list… I usually have all 6 of my kids at the pool but the older 4 are off on their own so I don’t have to worry. I just sit around in the kid play area with my 2 youngest and chill in the water while they play.

  33. I’m probably guilty of having been #5 when I toted my daughter to the pool or water park 🙂 She’s an only child so I usually brought a friend along for her to swim with so I didn’t have to get wet, lol!

  37. Hilarious. I wish I was the hot bod mom! Instead, we had another little boy tell my husband his belly was fat!!! NOT A GOOD DAY for us! 😉 Of course, there was NO MOM on duty on that one, who was also splashing away.

  39. Haha…this made me laugh! I think I would be high alert mom 🙂

  40. I would like to “retire to the lounge chair”, but I think I shall remain on high alert. That was a fun read. Thanks for sharing!
