10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Having Kids
The best excuse ever! But for how long?
See that tiny little pink bundle in the photo above? It's all her fault. She is the reason:
1. My belly jiggles
2. My house is a mess
3. I'm late for everything
4. I haven't showered
5. My roots are showing
6. I don't make my husband dinner
7. I haven't exercised in months
8. I can't stay out late at night (except when I want to)
9. I have no money
10. For anything else I need an excuse for
kabbot01 asked "How long can you use the excuse you just had a baby?" with regard to losing post-pregnancy pounds. My favorite response was from admckenzie who said, "I'm still using it—and my baby is 30!"
It made me wonder how long I can use my baby as an excuse for all of the things mentioned above. Thirty years sounds good to me, but what do you think?
Do you use your baby as an excuse for things you do or don't do? How long do you think you can use him or her as an excuse?

I have a 3 1/2 year old and those still work for me!!! I agree completely!
Pregnancy and kids are the #1 "Get Out of Jail Free" card.
Don't want to go to the fellow classmate's mom's candle party? "My 9 year old has a doctor's appointment then," or even, "My 30 year old son is coming in to town for a visit."
See? Perfect.
I always use the "I was/am too 'busy'" excuse. Works every time :D
I completely agree with everything listed!! now i don't feel like a fat, lazy,cow who everybody thinks dosen't do anything all day because i don't make any money for being a sahm. thank you for that!!
LOL! At least I'm not the only one who does this! If I don't feel like going somewhere, I just say "I can't take the kids and I don't have a babysitter!"
Lol I call the pregnancy card all the time! If my husband won't get me something that I'm REALLY craving I pull the "YOU DID THIS TO ME!" card. It works almost everytime.
RanaAurora is right!
As long as you are a mom, you have an excuse for something more important :)
hahahahahahaha, I love it when someone says that me. I reply by saying, well me too. But my baby is 8 years old now. I tell my husband, you're children did this to me, so don't go looking at me like that......
I'm still pregnant and I usually already blame her for everything. "don't look at me like that, the baby did it." =D I fully agree that kids are there to give you an excuse. Lol. My mom used me as an excuse and now it's my turn. =)
