The internet is where moms can let their (un-showered) hair down. Parenthood doesn't come with an instruction manual, meaning there's no one to tell you that it's not okay to hide cookies in the bin labeled "flour" on the top shelf. Luckily, you can confess your most hilariously embarrassing parenting tips online: anonymous or not, these fourteen mommy confessions hit the funny bone.

Time management tips
One hot momma
"I have taken to eating almost uniformly hot/boring/spicy/weird food because it's the only thing the kids won't mooch."
Too bad chocolate doesn't fall into that category, right mom?
No alarm clocks
One tough workout
"I joined a gym just for the free daycare. I drop the kids off and read magazines and blogs in the locker room."

Wait, wait?
Daaaaaaaaaad!

Caught red-handed
Shower time
Long uninterrupted showers are a thing of the past once you bring home a bundle of joy. Luckily, one momhas a hilarious hack to help all other parents with their shower schedule:
