So I have just realized that I have a SERIOUS problem!... I CANNOT stop picking my daughter's nose!! {is that weird?!} ... It started soon after I started using the bulb syringe (for my non-mommy friends, a bulb syringe or nasal aspirator is a contraption that sucks the snot out of baby's nostrils)... But it didn't stop there!...
The first time I ever successfully "picked one" WITHOUT the bulb syringe, I had a HUGE sense of accomplishment you would have thought I just climbed a mountain or something!... My husband was watching this whole escapade go down (I think he was half appalled / half humored by my excitement). She was still a brand new baby at the time so when I picked her VERY FIRST BOOGER, the thought crossed my mind to keep it and press it in her baby book!... Hehe! :-) {don't worry I didn't! Hubs shot that idea down real quick! LOL}
A few months later, I discover a wonderful thing called "Little Noses" saline drops!... You put a few drops in baby's nose & it helps to loosen all the "gunk" in there & helps to aid the bulb syringe's suction power!! :) and on top of that, I'm also digging in there with Q-tips now!... And of course there's my occasional pinky nail if "the culprit" is close enough to the rim!!!... It's MADNESS!!... It seems I have made it my life's mission to make sure those passages are clear & free of debris!... It drives me bonkers if I see my sweet baby girl with gunk in her sweet little nose!... I have become a compulsive, booger mongler!! I NEED TO STOP! It's not healthy & I think I need professional help! {Yes, I realize it may also be gross to some people- especially the non-mothers}... Are there "AA" meetings for nose picking? Maybe "Boogers Anonymous"?!
It's gotten to the point where my sweet baby girl is scared when she sees me with a Q-tip in hand and starts to squirm!
So I've heard the first step to quiting is admitting you have a problem, so here it is...
My name is Jayne and I am an obsessive, compulsive "mommy nose-picker"!!! {bows head} ... I'm so ashamed! <:-(

I just laughed right out loud! That's Ha-larious! Have you ever tried the Boogie Wipes?? You can get them at your grocery store or Walmart and they have Saline on them and are scented....they work good too....
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard when you said you thought about keeping her first boogie....Kelcee's umbilical cord went in a baggie and was all dried up and I put it in her baby book until my hubby convinced me how gross it was....I finally threw it out....
That's O.K. Jane....My name is Summer and I also pick my little girl's nose....Hahahahahaha
I will bow my head with you, you are not alone friend..... :0)
