Rookie Mistakes is a series where guest bloggers divulge their parenting fails, and make us laugh or inspire us in the process.
This weeks guest post comes from Tori who blogs at The Adultier Adult. I love the premise of Tori’s blog:
“The horrifying moment when you are looking for an adult but then you realize you are an adult. So you look for an older adult. Someone successfully adulting. The Adultier Adult.”
Haven’t we all been there! In this post, Tori gives us her list of rookie mistakes. It’s a list I could have done with reading about 6 years ago as it is safe to say I have achieved all of these fails myself!
Bio: Happily married mother blogging about the highs and lows of life with a husband, a toddler, a baby and two demanding cats. Contains far too many references to gravity defying baby poo and not enough time devoted to consumption of chocolate!
I was pulling faces at her and she was smiling. I opened my mouth wide and that was when she threw up the puree I had fed her a little while before. Straight into my open mouth. Even worse, it was prune puree! My wonderful, loving husband was no help as he was laughing so hard he couldn’t stand.

You can follow Tori’s blog, The Adultier Adult on facebook and twitter.

Oh exactly ! Thank you very much for reminding us. I’ve already make some mistakes above and their results seem so bad. I see some kids are addicted to mobile phone. So avoid allowing them to play with mobile phone.
Everything they took to Everest!! Priceless. Was never guilty of the phone thing because I’m possibly the only mother alive who never gave her phone to her kids to play with for various reasons but yep the keys, for sure. The Divorcer. OMG the coming out single bit; I nearly hurt myself laughing and YES with ruddy knobs on for the losing count over the formula measuring. Three kids and yes, every. single. time.
Absolutely hilarious! I love Tori, and this is no exception! Some great slip ups there lovely! And yes, yes yes! xx
Calpol is the worst to get out! We have drops of it all over the landing carpet thanks to one screaming baby… And the sick. *shudder* Marianna only has to look like she might burp and I have to put space between us. The memory is too vivid! 🙂 #fridayfrolics
Totally yes to #9…my whole house is a puzzle as we search for random pieces on a regular basis. I am super at shoving things away to tidy up ‘later’. Also the keys!!!! These have also disappeared with said puzzle pieces. Nice one. #FridayFrolics
I love Tori’s posts. I can pretty much guarantee that every mum has done 90% of these things. Us mums sure are dumb asses #friday frolics
This is fab, I love Tori’s blog. Thanks for linking up to #thelist x
Ahahaha, I’m SO with Tori on the keys front. When Luke was a baby I let him play with my house keys…they vanished, obviously. 2 and a half years later and I still haven’t found them! I have the delight of potty training to look forward in the next coming weeks. 😉 Ray xx #BrillBlogPosts
I’m so sorry, I can sometimes have a very dark sense of humour, and I have to say number 5 made me LOL, really hard…! And 9, yes, that’s happened to every, single puzzle in our house…!! And 1 and 10 were daily parts of my routine!! Great list!!

Haha yep, done all of these and five children later, still do! Great post, thanks for sharing! #fridayfrolics
I’ve done all of these at least a handful of times! I never learn. Fab post!
That list is so funny! I think I have done all of them with my first and second…learnt by my third but still did the calpol one and phone one…oh and the formula one! WAIT did I say I learnt from the others?! #fail Great post…I came via #thelist linky
Hilarious post, I love it! I’m not even a parent and I’ve done the Calpol one, not something I would like to repeat! #brilliantblogposts

The Adultier Adult has only left the house once without the chnaging bag? Man, I did that so many times! Cringing about the vomit thing. That was unfortunate.
