Lori, please don’t use the word “encrusted” when dealing with this subject. Thanks. LOL!

JoAnn — oof! You most DEFinitely earned a badge.

And your hubby really should get you a diamond-encrusted pin for THAT one.

Yuck! Thankfully, I don’t have THAT mom badge on my sash, and I’m totally okay with it. One of the ones I have (because we all have tons!) involved being blasted at 3am and having to take a shower to get it out of my hair, after cleaning the wall first. There was no bathtub involved, but you get the idea. AND, I even let my hubby sleep through that, thus earning an extra cool pin for my sash. Ha!

Why do Mom Badges so often deal with bodily fluids? Why can’t you earn one, say, by eating chocolate and getting massages?

Thanks, ladies for sharing your badge stories!

I have the traditional sleepless night and puking, pooping, lactating in embarrassing situation stories. And LOTS of them. But true initiation didn't come until I had 3 children (all ages 3 and under.) And, of course, potty training brings a whole new level of initiation. Diapers are easier!!!!

i would say i earned my mom badge right from the start. I gave birth via c-section (although I desperately wanted a natural birth) 4 weeks early to a 4.5 lb baby boy. He was healthy as a horse though and we were home 36 hours later. However my breast milk never came in. We worked very hard to fatten him up but we definitely had no idea what we were doing in those days. they say to sleep when they sleep but it was monthes before i would allow myself sleep because i was constantly checking on him making sure he was breathing and healthy.

We’ve had the cr@pstorm in the tub, but not while I was in it. Yikes! Yes, as a mom, we deal with the foulest stuff without hazard pay! Being a little human is definitely messy business!
