It's not often they'll admit it.

I saw a Real Bad Mommy in action at a theme park the other day. She was pushing two kids in a stroller, and they started to whine and complain. "We don't like it in here! We want to get out! This is boring! You're mean!"

"Oh, yes," she said without missing a beat. "I'm a terrible, terrible mommy to be pushing you guys around in a stroller where you can sit in the shade and relax while I do all the work. Horrible. There you are, sitting comfortably! I am so mean!" I felt like cheering.
