Back by popular demand, Me and My Mom Friends brings you another edition of Confessions from Real Moms about Kids, Parenting, and Being a Mom. Here for your enjoyment, I present:
Mom Confessions Volume 3!
Confession from Jennifer @ www.teachworkoutlove.com
I hide my favorite food behind everything in the fridge so that my daughter AND my husband cannot find them!
Confession from Jaime at www.healthyandthrifty.com
Yesterday my kids spilled an entire container of Puffs baby snacks all over the floor. I was too tired to clean it up so I let them and the dog eat them off the floor!
Confession from Angela @PaleoMomofTwo
I am guilty of playing Hide N’ Seek with my two toddlers, so I can go hide with my morning coffee and have a few moments of peace.
Confession from Lindsay @ EssentiallyMomming.com
When I need a little boost to get me through a particularly rough day, I add Red Bull to my diffuser.
Confessions from Sarah @ thesimplelifemom.com
Sometimes, I say I need to go potty. But really, I just eat sweet treats in my bathroom. Because I don’t want to share.
I make my kids help me clean the house in a hurry because we are expecting company, and then when we are done, our expected guests need to reschedule.
Confessions from Michelle P @ www.coffeenvibes.com
I must confess…Daniel Tigers Neighborhood has been a life saver for me. I’m not big on having my kids ( 2 year old and 11 month old) hooked on TV but I do have it playing throughout the day when I need a break or nap (mind you I am pregnant). Whatever it takes to get a break in a 24/hr day as a stay-at-home mom.
Also, when my husband gets home from work, if I need quiet time, I tell him I need to shower and take a good 30+ mins (that’s going through social media, showering & giving myself time to sing in the shower)… Hahaha!
Confession from Raina @ www.eye-see-scarlett.com
My confession is this… I will say I’m going to take a real quick bath when in truth I’m taking at least a 30-45 minute soak. I shut the door and ignore my husband (unless the baby is screaming bloody murder). I have to use this little fib to get some me time to relax. Having a baby is hard work in addition to working. Some days if I didn’t hide away and take this time to relax I would lose it. This is my way to hide and relax even on the days I may only get 20 minutes. I may have to rework it once the baby becomes older and can open the door (there’s no lock on it… yet).
Confession from Kirsten W. @ www.obtainingbliss.com
If I buy candy (specifically Dove chocolates, which are my favorite) I will get an extra bag just for me and hide it. I have to make sure that they don’t see me buying that extra bag too.
Confessions from Lisa W. @ MeAndMyMomFriends.com
On Friday, I made spaghetti. My son normally likes spaghetti, but he’s in a picky-eating phase. Well, I had a box sitting on the kitchen counter that was casting an unusual shadow on the wall. My toddler spotted it and asked what it was. I told him it was the “Spaghetti Monster” and it was going to get him if he didn’t eat his spaghetti. IT WORKED. I’m not even sorry because he ate his dinner without a fight.
On more than one occasion, I have lied to my son and told him we were out of whatever sweet treat he was asking for (like a sucker, or fruit snacks) and offered him something healthier instead. He always agrees. I hope he never notice’s the Sam’s Club sized box of fruit snacks or suckers in the pantry!

I am so guilty of taking a lonnnnnnggggg shower! I don’t feel guilty about it at all.
Lovely insight to see from the moms angle here.

These are awesome! I am guilty of most of these!
This is awesome!
Thanks for reading!
This was hilarious! I love to see other moms doing the things I do haha!
Thanks! I agree that its so nice to know I am not alone in these things
I think I’m guilty of most of these confessions. So glad I’m not the only one that does these things! So funny! Loves this series!
Thank you! And that’s what I love about the series too. #1 I am guilty of most of it and glad I’m not alone #2 I learn some new mom tricks haha
This series is the best! I relate so much to hiding in the bathroom too! Lol
Thank you! I’m pretty sure the bathroom-hiding is universal for parents.
Oh yes very familiar! I carry cheese and bananas and give as a snack before going into a store.
A little bribery never hurt anyone!
So relatable.
And when they catch me hiding eating treats, I tell them they’re carrots and they lose interest lol.
I am using this!!! Hahaha “No honey, its spinach and you don’t like it”
Love these!! Relate to every single one!
Me too! That’s why these posts are so fun to write. Plus its nice to know I am not alone!
Ha! these are great! my little one is only 4mos old…so some of these I have to look forward to? lol!
Take notes! hahaha Thanks for reading!
I don’t have kids but some of these confessions made me laugh so hard. Hilarious!
Haha! I can relate to this! I like what Michelle P said! 🙂

So funny, and such a great idea for a post!! I loved the kids and dog eating puffs off of the floor!
I laughed out loud at that one too! Because I have TOTALLY been that mom. More than once. haha! Thanks for reading!
These are so funny!
Love these. Always to fun to read and relate to. Look forward to more.
I’m having so much fun with this series! Hoping to keep it going if I can get enough mom confessions. Thank you for reading!
It’s the lies that save us! I’m gonna be so bummed when my kids start to tell time because it’s 7:30pm and I tell them it’s bedtime because it’s super late!!
Haha yeah I use the time trick all the time. Or we tell my son its 5:00 because that’s what time Grandpa usually leaves. So if he has to leave early for some reason “Oh sorry bud, its 5:00 and Grandpa has to go home and make dinner” haha
Theses are so comical! I would totally hide candy for myself and make some time to eat it!
You have to! Or you will starve. Ok thats an exaggeration, but you will never get to eat candy without sharing unless you hide or lie! #momproblems
Hahaha! Guilty! I will soooo hide chocolate, ice cream, etc.
I have a stash of girl scout cookies right now that nobody knows about haha!
These are amazing. I got busted hiding in the jacuzzi eating Pringles a few weeks ago! HA!
Totally something I would do!
These are hilarious but definitely show the REAL side of motherhood. I don’t have kids and have done the whole “hide the treats in the back of the freezer ” trick too!
I’m glad that one is universal. I hide snacks from my husband too, and he catches me and makes fun of me. Glad I am not alone!
Whatever gets you through the day! My motto has always been: low standards are the key to happy parenting. 🙂
Preach Girl! I had the illusion that I was going to be Suzy Homemaker for about 1 whole day before I gave up that notion. Way too much pressure.
These are great!!
