I win the bad parent award - for today

redchief wrote: Lisa was resting so it was up to me to make sure the girls got off to school this morning. I was up at 7:00AM and made sure Erin was all set for school. We said our good-byes and I was feeling pretty good about myself. I was also still really tired since I didn't get to bed until late last night. So, secure in the knowledge that I'd done good, I went back to bed for another couple hours.

Fast forward, 9:00AM, Lisa wakes me up and asks, "Did you forget to wake up Kaitlin?"

"Umm... yep." So I had to drive Kaitlin to school, she'd missed her first period class. I'm a bad father.

luvmykids replied: Oops. BTDT, once I got the twins ready to go somewhere and we got in the car and they started screaming that we forgot Macie. She was still sound asleep

redchief replied:
No, and the funniest thing was I had to sign a form; you know, one of those "I have reviewed and agree to follow these rules," forms. The first line was about parents making sure kids attend and are on time. I got to take the form to the office in person this morning. Kaitlin thought the irony was quite amusing. Fortunately I have a good rapport with the school office staff and the only person they were really worried about was Lisa.

Kaitlin'smom replied: Oh NO forgot about child 2 to get up. poor dad, hard work huh? So whats her favorite dinner, sounds like dad should be making that tonight

BTW do they have there own alram clocks so maybe they can help wake up for you on time?

redchief replied:
I cooked her favorite last night.

I'll figure something out, though she wasn't really angry at all.

CantWait replied: To funny.

redchief replied:
Oops. Missed the alarm clock question. Erin and Kaitlin share an alarm clock. Either Erin or I wake Lisa, who usually wakes Kaitlin. Up until now she hasn't really needed her own alarm. We discussed that this morning. I think Katie's getting her own.

A&A'smommy replied: don't feel bad those things happen, your NOT a bad father not today not ever!!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: It happens to all of us!!

How's Lisa today?

Kaitlin'smom replied:
Well at least you know one christmas gift for her or she can give you one

Glad she was not mad.

C&K*s Mommie replied: To make up for it, maybe tomorrow you can forget to wake up Erin.

You are still a great father in their eyes.
