What is your darkest parenting secret?

“I have lost track of how much I have been drinking in the evenings when I’m home alone with my kids, and I realized I shouldn’t drive if there is an emergency.”

—Carol Davis, Manhattan

“I sometimes pretend I’m going to a meeting when I hire a babysitter and then I just drive around and sit in my car—just to get away for a while.” —Brent Minsky, Queens

Whenever my twin toddlers are having ‘a moment,’ I sit on the floor and start practicing yoga breathing exercises in front of them. This is something I really started doing to help myself get through the moment, but it actually works in reverse and helps calm and center them too.”

—Lauren Carasso (@LaurenCarasso), Westchester

“My almost-4-year-old was not feeling well over the weekend, and while I hate to see my baby sick, I secretly love that she ‘needs’ me again, and will curl up, cuddle, and fall asleep in my arms.”

—Kathleen Hurley (@letsbemomfriends), Long Island

“After I buckle my kids in their car seats, I treasure that small, quiet, carefree walk around the car to the front seat. It’s like a mini vacation.” —Andrea Worthington (@babygotchat), Westchester

“When I play catch with my son, and he drops a few easy balls, I begin quietly muttering things like, ‘Holy crap that is just terrible’ or ‘Wow you really can’t catch, can you?’ ‘Nice try!’ I yell.” —Michael Moshan, Westchester

I have tried, on multiple occasions throughout the years, to convince my principled vegetarian daughter to just drop it already and start eating meat again. —Brook Gesser, Brooklyn
