My habits are eating chocolate or something just for myself when the kids are all tucked in sleeping nicely it is a way that I can indulge into something without having them ask me what i'm eating,I want some,trying to pry my lips opened.
Nail biting still do this even when I have grown out my nails to my desired length they will chip then there they go right into my mouth to finish the jagged edge.
I have decreased my Pepsi/.Dr.Pepper consumption for many reasons but if it were still in full force craving it will be first thing in the morning ya I know cringe but to me it was better than a cigarette (no I don't smoke)
So I would just like to read what are some of your habits I know I have plenty more but well there isn't enough time right now to spill them all.Thanks

What can I do next?

Facbook and Mamapedia, they consume all of my free time.
Seriously- what did people do before the internet???

I usually finish off the kids plates.
I leave the water running while I brush my teeth.
I always empty the bath and refill it once the water isn't hot anymore.
I pop my pimples. Ewww, I know.

Shoot, if I wrote down all of my bad habits, it would crash this site ;-)

So, I'll give you two that are on my mind right now. 1. I smoke. 2. I avoid doing laundry until I absolutely HAVE to. Ugh. I really HAVE to do laundry today. I'll do it...after I'm off the computer...or after lunch...oh and I told the kids we're going to the park later, so I'll just do it after that...right?

Starbucks. It is beyond a habit at this point. Addiction is more like it.

I hide in the kitchen and eat chocolate so the kids don't ask what I am doing. I usually cannot even wait until they are in bed.

Twirling my hair. I have fairly long hair and it feels so soft! Drives my husband nuts. I used to wear my hair up to work almost daily to avoid my hand finding it!

ETA: And ditto A.A.!!

Mamapedia during housework hours. I curse (way) too much. I am always in the mood for dessert. I am a terrible penpal. I don't text while driving, but I DO text at stoplights (I know, I know ::slaps hand::). And my husband says I snore lightly, like I'm purring. I've never heard myself do it, so I don't believe him.

answers from Johnson City on

Worst--I still smoke 5 or 6 cigarettes a day.
Eat the leftovers off the kids plates.
Eat after the kids go to bed. Just random while I watch tv and unwind snacking that kills anything good I did during the day.
LOVE MY CHOCOLATE!
Love my coffee and diet Mountain Dew--gotta have my caffeine!
Spend too much time on parenting websites.
Hold stuff in too long before I verbalize it. It's about to ruin my current relationship--I just can't seem to make myself confront people and so end up letting myself get used and then stewing about it forever.

answers from Phoenix on

Given the number of names I see repeated here.....
I'm going to say that everyone's bad habits are Mamapedia at work, both at home and not at home work.

My house would be perfect if not for this site...

I scratch little things on my skin, like bug bites until they bleed, but I am not aware that I am scratching them and making them bleed until I see blood somewhere..I think that's gross, but I learned this absent minded scratching from my dad. See what parents do to us???

And I sleep too much.

I do the same nail bitting thing as you!
I also learned this wonderful habit from my dad of popping my zits.
Then I have also learned from my dad to always be right. Unlike him, I can admit when I'm wrong :D
Oh there is NOTHING wrong with eating your chocolate when it's you time. It's your YOU time so enjoy it with what you want!!
**Mamapedia while I'm at school/work and face book.
