Craziest Mom Stories




We want to hear about your funniest, craziest, or most embarrassing mom stories….that is, anything wacky that has happened to you from the moment you got pregnant to the funniest thing your toddler has ever said or done!

Here are a few examples:

“I was early in my first trimester and still working. I had a big meeting with my regional manager who was in from out of town. We were sitting in the conference room when all of a sudden my morning sickness kicked in and I got super nauseous and threw up…all over his shoes. I was mortified!”

“My husband, toddler, and I went to go visit relatives we hardly see last Easter. As we were hugging hello, my, um, plus-sized Aunt came up and gave my 4-year-old a big ol’ hug and kiss. After the extremely nice display of affection, my toddler looked her dead in the eyes and said “You are fat!”

  1. Questions I never imagined I’d ask my child’s doctor (thank God the kind soul doesn’t bill for phone calls…):

    1. Q: Why is his poop purple?
    A: He ate blue and red tissue paper at his first birthday party. (verified by expensive stool sample)

    2. Q: Can you get two different viral rashes in two weeks time?
    A: Yes. But it’s very rare. Bring him in and let me see. (yep… two separate ones that each required a 5 day qarrantine from daycare.)

    3. Q: Why is his poop red?
    A: He ate a red crayon. (verified by expensive stool sample)

    4. Q: Why is there brown oil leaking out of his ears?
    A: Ear wax melts when you have a high enough fever.

    5. Q: Can my child get sick from eating dog food?
    A: No, but he might start barking at the mailman.

    Geez, and he’s only 17 months!

  2. My 9 year old announced to his brother’s kindergarten teacher at open house that his dad had the stork cut out and then imitated how my husband was walking. My husband had just had a vasectomy!

  3. My husband was wrestling around with our three year old when he threw up. It was red. We just knew it was blood. We grabbed him and rushed to the emergency room. We checked him in and while we were waiting to be seen realized he had just ate a cherry slushy at the store. Pretty embarrassing telling them we were leaving and why.

  4. I know this is for mummy’s but I had to tell this story. When we first found out my wife was pregnant, she used the baby as an excuse for everything she needed. This all came to a head one night after she had eaten certain vegetables she woke herself up in the middle of the night with gas. I turned and said ‘it’s pretty bad when you wake yourself up like that.’ Without missing a beat she replied, ‘That was the baby farting.’

  5. One day my nephew was visiting me and my son, who was 4 at the time and my nephew said he wanted to take a cat nap so my son looked at him with a puzzled look and said, “Why do you want to sleep with cats? You don’t even like cats.”

  6. From the beginning of my pregnancy (this is my first and probably my last) to the end was full of ups and downs so much so that when the ultrasound tech told us the sex of our baby (GIRL) and in the same sentence proceeded to tell us that she has blood or fluid on the brain and coroplexis sists, her head wasn’t fully closed, she had a clift lip and plait, they couldn’t see all four areas of her heart and couldn’t find her kidney and both feet were clubbed. They advised us that the baby would have a 10% chance of making it out of the womb 5% that it would live for 20 mins-2 hours and a 2% chance that she would make it to her 1st b-day! We took our chances and thank God we did she is perfect! The story doesn’t end there at 32 wks I got home from work and my husband and started to make the baby shower invitations and I kiddingly said I think my water broke, my husband said Dina you peed the chair and because it was about the size of a dime I said ok. He went to bed and I sat in the bath for a while, something didn’t feel right I woke him up 3hrs later and “They are just going to send you home” but at that point I knew I had to go. The hospital was about 20-25 mins away. We got in the car and I couldn’t sit so I laid the front seat down and ended up crawling to the back seat of my new car. I told my husband to pull over he said, “we are almost there” again I said pull over and he again said we are almost there. Sitting doggy facing the back window I said pull over she’s out. HE pulled over. (I am a preschool teacher and know CPR) she let out 1 cry and I gave her some breathes and cleared an airway but nothing we continued to the hospital only 15 blocks away we didnt call to hosp, we didnt call anyone. My husband pulled up to the hospital, ran in and a security guard stopped him, he’s like my wife just had a baby in the car three nurses ran out and tried to take the baby from my. I was like “UMM Im kinda of still attached here. The quick ran us in cut the cord and revived her. We spent 2 months in the NICU and she is perfect. The only thing we are working on is her feet, they are not clubbed but positional so they can move (so we have to do stretching..not so bad). My daughter is now 4 months and already rolling over. No one could believe what happened! Oh and since it was a new car I called a car wash to clean the back seat and the guy didn’t believe me (he got the blood out).

    So I hope you enjoyed my fun, crazy, bizzarr first pregnancy/birth

  7. Two weeks ago at swim class, my 2 1/2 year old little boy announced to his instructor that he pee’d while sitting on the edge of the pool… he had a swim diaper on and the instructor just laughed it off (what can you expect when you put a toddler in a 96 degree salt water pool)…fast forward to last week – my son was really getting a workout at this particular class and was swimming around like a little champ. The instructor (who is from Cuba and does not speak English particularly well) thought Dylan needed a break. As my little one swam to the steps, I said “boy you must be POOPED!”…and at that, the instructor said “he pooped?!?!”. Knowing that he remembered the incident last week, I quickly stumbled to explain what I meant by that, but will never know if my son is now the kid who “pooped” in the pool – careful what you say (especially when there is a language barrier)!
