Good mom comes back to Grace's room after tucking in Lauren for a little extra snuggle and a few stories about when I was kid.
Bad mom tells Lauren she can have lots of pancakes for breakfast when Lauren starts to cry at bedtime that she's hungry.
Good mom has grapes and crackers ready for a post-swimming lessons snack.
Bad mom forgot to bring underwear for the girls to put on after swimming lessons are over.
Good mom gets out the matching aprons and lets the kids do most of the work - and all of the spilling - while we make cupcakes.
Bad mom makes muffins while the kids are sleeping and then hides them in the morning so Chad and I can have them to ourselves.
Good mom has all the kids clothes clean and laid out on the toybox at bedtime, so the morning will go more smoothly.
Bad mom is stuffing microwaved pancakes into ziploc bags, then throwing them and the kids into the car.
Good mom has the kids bathed and in their clean jammies with enough time left over for two bedtime stories.
Bad mom figured they can go one more day without a bath AND says it's so late we can only sing songs, no stories.
Why is that bad mom really seems a lot more like NORMAL mom?

No way! We're strictly talking microwave pancakes here.
Giving your kid cold medicine before dinner to keep him quiet . . . really bad mom!
