Awful Parent Moment

We all have them. The moment where we feel terrible because of something that has happened!

Well, here's one for us. It's Wednesday night. Day 2 of the Blizzard of 2011.
It's bath night.
The kids have had supper and now Emmet's the first in the tub.
He bathes himself and then I tell him his time is up.
He gets out and I dress him.
Enter Eden & Eliza into the tub and into the same tub water.
Seth supervises their bathing while I play CLUE with the boys.
The girls' hair is washed and then they're done.
Out of the tub and getting dried off and dressed.
Ephraim wants to take a shower but wants to wait until the tub water is drained.
Fine.
Water is almost drained and then I see it. A chunk and several smaller chunks of poop. Ugh. Now, this isn't the first time that the kids have pooped in the tub.

I interview the suspects.
Eden and Eliza right away say "Not me."

I think you can see where this is headed.

I question Emmet.
And he's pretty quick to admit to the deed.
And he's pretty compliant when it comes to cleaning up the tub.

But Seth and I are left with the realization that the girls have just bathed in it, washed their hair in it and probably ingested some of it!

Ugh!
