10 Ways Moms Will Mess Up (And It’s Totally Fine)

Hey there, fellow moms! Let’s be real for a second—parenting can be a wild ride. Just last week, I completely spaced on taking my kids to their art show at preschool. Whoops! A few years ago, I would have stressed about it for days. But hey, we all make mistakes, right? Here’s the truth: we’re going to mess up—over and over. And guess what? Our kids will be just fine. In fact, they might not even remember it!

So, if you’re feeling guilty about your own parenting slip-ups, take a deep breath and relax. You’re definitely not alone. Here are ten classic ways we moms can goof up:

1. Forgetting about that tooth under the pillow. If your kid wakes up to an empty spot, just remind them that sometimes the Tooth Fairy leaves cash under the bed. They’ll get over it—eventually, the fairy will show up, even if it takes a couple of days.
2. Missing a pickup. Forgot to grab your child after school? No worries! Your kid will bounce back, but the other parents waiting for you might not be too pleased.
3. Showing up late to a game. If you accidentally bring your kid to the field at the wrong time, be prepared for some eye rolls. Your kid might be a bit upset, but they’ll recover.
4. Forgetting the class party snack. You signed up to bring treats but totally blanked? Don’t fret! There’s always plenty of food at those parties—they won’t even notice.
5. Skipping the awards ceremony. If you miss the day when your child gets crowned the Most Awesome Kid, don’t stress. Once they get their trophy, they probably won’t care that you weren’t there.
6. Missing the big game. If your child scores the winning point and you’re not there to see it, hopefully, someone got it on video for you to watch later.
7. Ignoring a sick kid’s complaints. If you send your little one to school only to find out they’ve been sick, at least you didn’t have to clean up the mess!
8. Forgetting to meet the bus. If your child ends up riding home alone with the bus driver after you miss the stop, don’t worry; they’ll survive. And hey, the driver might start bringing them snacks!
9. Dismissing an injury. If you brush off your daughter’s arm pain as just a bruise, you might end up at the doctor discovering it’s broken. The bright pink cast will definitely make for a good story later!
10. Forgetting a birthday party invite. If you totally blank on that classmate’s party, be grateful—those things can be a hassle anyway.
