Love it! I was laughing so hard in my office that I was forced to share......... unfortunately they weren't moms so they didn't quite understand.

Some of the obsession with the purity of food these days astounds me. Ok, don't eat crap. Cool, but it's such a first-world problem. Here we are with the luxury of too much food etc. & high variety of foods.

The Gwen-P zomg-we-must-cook-with-organic-unicorn-tears thing can be elitist & obnoxious.

Do I make sure the kids eat their fruit/veg? Yes. Is every single snack organic & free of all processed ingredients? No. I have a budget & I choose to expend my energy elsewhere.

Moms like #2 make me nuts.

So much truth!

My favorite is "we don't say no". Good luck with that one lol!

The real question is-- mom might not say it but you can bet her kid will by at least 3. Then what do you do when your kid is screaming no at you?
;;)

@Audrey1787‌ : I usually don't care if the Organic Unicorn Tears Mom chooses that for her kids. More power to them. It's when a toddler tries to share their snack (barring real allergies) & mom is like "oh no no, we don't eat THAT." Like it's dirt on the floor. I've witnessed this while at the park between mom groups. Choose whatever you want to feed your kid but don't act like other moms don't give two shits *about their kids' health if their kid has a French fry every once in a while.

Generally it's easy not to be an asshole. Just don't be preachy.

It hasn't happened to my kid because she is happily eating her pop tart along side her apple-sweet potato slices. The Organic Unicorn Mom doesn't know whether or not to be horrified.

There is this one mom that is always posing these faux-sympathy questions. Aren't you concerned about the fat/sugar/salt in that?! What does the doctor say?! I want to trout slap her & her anxious nosiness.


I tell her that since DD has always been small that getting her to eat anything is a victory. Taking two bites of a pop tart is a win.

She loves veggies & eats them at every major meal. She refuses meat unless it's fish or sausage. So yeah-- the kid won't die from a quarter of a pop tart at 11am on a weekday.

if you realize you are scaring grocery workers then yeah, CTFD. :P

ETA: adding words because my brain moves faster than my fingers.

The lady that would come inspect our center for the state tried saying we should stop using no in the daycare centers.  Yeah crazy lady...you come work in a room full of toddler and never say the word no.

My neighbors were the "we don't use no" people with their son and have also never let him lose. Now he is eight and a brat! He can't even lose a race to the corner with his friends and it getting to the point of disrespectful because they have never said no or wait your turn.

This poor kid is going to be a wreck in high school and adulthood.

Someone even asked her "what if you see a child acting like they are about to bite another and you are not able to physically stop them at the moment (working with other children, just not within arms reach)?  She said " Tell them Stop.  Biting hurts."  Find me a toddler that will stop because you tell them biting hurts.  I seriously wonder how she got her job...you would think she would have needed experience working in classrooms.

Grammar question...shouldn't it be moms who suck? Or is moms that sick correct? I'm honestly curious.

I realized this morning that I've never told my kid no. But he's still a bump on a log. I have a feeling it will change.
