Bad Mommy Example #238

When I went to pick up Ben yesterday from childcare, he was still asleep. When he woke up, I walked back to the bedroom where he was sleeping and he seemed especially disoriented. And then he proceeded to cry for 10 minutes. Nothing would sate him, so we left. Once he was in the car he was still unhappy even though he had requested to go 'bye-bye'. I informed him that this was America and you can't go anywhere without getting in the car.I tried to give him toys to bribe his good behavior and when they didn't work I was at a loss. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw my half full caramel frappuwhatever from Starbucks and quickly handed it to him. He instantly stopped crying and started sucking down the caffeine and sugar treat. I really am going to mommy hell.
