Judging Thursdays

As it seems we have more fun with judging threads than UOs (and it gets started on Thursday anyway), I figured I'd start the judging thread like a weekly post.
I judge people who don't have courtesy for others in their home. I met up with a friend who preaches about child safety seats and parenting practices on facebook because she's training to be a doula and is taking car seat class, so you'd think she's the type who would be clued in on what her child is doing. While we were hanging out at a mutual friend's house, her 19 month old is making a beeline for some drinks on a table. The preachey friend says "I'm not going to go after her", and our mutual friend whose appartment it is says "Oh yes you are!" If she didn't go after her child, she would have dumped the drinks. And she knew the drinks were full and didn't go after her daughter anyway. I'm all for letting LO explore, but in someone else's home, she should've either kept her daughter distracted with her own toys or asked if it's ok for her to play with the mutual friends' things (as I did for DS when we arrived).

Re: Judging Thursdays
I judge my co-worker for coming in all week even though he has been sick. Listening to him blow his snot filled nose every 5 minutes makes me want to hurl. You 'dont feel sick enough to stay home'? Ummm what about the rest of us you are probably infecting you asshat!
If I ending getting sick because of this douchecanoe I am going to be piiiiiiiisssed (and will of course take a sick day).
zachary happens! | little fish
I judge any attention seeking junkie (as I call them).
LIke people who post pics of themselves on FB or just post something like "omg I just turned 28 and I feel so old and I don't look at good anymore balblabl" And then of course people comment "oh no you look amazing, you are so young, yaddayadda"
Or when people (like my SIL) post things multiple days in a row "I have the strangest cravings or I wish I wasn't hungry all the time and people at work thinK I'm just a fat girl in disguise, or the bloat is insane today etc." So OF COURSE everybody is "omg are you pregnant" And her response "well I have nothing to announce yet *smileyface*. ARE YOU F'N KIDDING ME We then got a text announcement that she was expecting saying" well I guess it's more obvious than I thought and since people are catching on I guess I should announce earlier than I wanted that I'm pregnant" DUUUDEEE SERIOUSLY!
Ah, I have to say this judging thing is fun, I didn't think I had it in me, but I'm getting pretty good at it LMAO
Ughhhhh I would kick myself in the face if I had to go through that with your SIL lol!!! ANNOYING!!!
Ya, every so often I have to stick a pensil in my eye LMAO
I judge people who can't stop at a stop sign long enough to let my family walk across the street. It pisses me off SOOOO much when people start driving the second we step past their car. Can't you just wait till we reach the other side? I mean I've had people drive their car so close to us, I could turn around and karate kick it. And I've seriously considered it before. Yesterday when we were in the cross walk there was a car creeping towards us that was in the middle of the intersection. I mean seriously? Are you in that much of a hurry, you can't wait 20 seconds for my kids and I to cross the street? There are seriously 5 signs at that interesection that say to be careful of children. This makes me so angry. If you drive when kids are in the cross walk (even if they're not directly in front of your car), you're an inconsiderate Ahole!
*breath in, breath out*
Your SIL makes me thankful my ILs live in Mexico! (I don't know what the hell happened with my other posts. Stupid computer.)
My ILs are insane. Even DH said the other day that things are getting so out of control that if he finds a job out of state he's taking it. he actually looked at one opportunity in FL. I had my fingers crossed sooo bad LOL And let me tell you. DH is NOT the person who wants to move far from his family. So you know this $hit is bad LOL
I judge people who don't think napping and sleep are important.
I was going to a friend's house last week and she has 3 kids of her own. the youngest being just over 2. I knew that they have a "family bedroom" which is basically the downstairs of their house turned into one big bedroom, 2 beds, 5 people. she is ALWAYS complaining about how little sleep she gets. So I ask if she has a pack n play as well as a room for DD to sleep in while we're there. She said yes to both. When I got there, she said that her 2 year old was going to nap in the "family bedroom" (but then ended up not) so my DD could sleep in there old master bedroom which had been turned into a playroom and had no door on it. Mind you, all 3 of her children were playing LOUDLY outside of the room! So I asked if there were any other options. She said the other two ACTUAL bedrooms had been filled with stuff since they moved everyone into one room so the other option was the bathroom. I WAS PISSED!!! I should have left, but i actually do like her as a friend and didn't want to make a scene. Last time I'm going over there though. She can come to me. My kid's naps are important to me and I refuse to make her sleep next to a toilet!!!!!!

Wait, whaaaat? She wanted your kid to nap in the bathroom? Seriously? And what if someone needed to use the bathroom? Then what?
I judge the @sshat who stole my cell phone... while I was volunteering. Jerk. I don't care about the stupid phone, but there were tons of pics of my DD that weren't backed up. Grrrr.
Speaking of, I'm thankful for HDBabyD. As least I have one photo per week that I uploaded and had saved elsewhere to post on this board.
yes!!!!! I am not kidding about this. she had a bathroom downstairs if they needed to use it, i was seriously just in pure and utter shock and horror basically.

So happy to see this thread bc I've been very judgy today!
This mom at daycare has brought her sick kids in every day this week. I spend my lunch hour there so I see everything that goes on. This poor little boy has been so miserable and obviously sick all week. The teachers have had to spend all of their time comforting him. I'm glad they are so loving but they shouldn't have to do that all week...it's not their job, it's his parents. She was also sick on Tuesday, so she dropped him off and went back home to rest!! Fine if he isn't sick too, but he is!! So all week he's been spreading his germs onto the teachers and other babies. Yesterday, they made her pick him up bc he had a fever. She brings him in today even tho they have a 24 hr fever policy, and when I came in at lunch he had a 101 temp, and her older son had thrown up so she was called again to pick them up. They made her sign something saying she won't bring them in tomorrow.
I don't know her sick time/job situation, but your baby needs you. And stop trying to infect my child.
Aw, that sucks! I hope it turns up somehow. But if not, I'm glad you at least have some pics thanks to HDBabyD
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, too!! Who needs that drama? I know I don't want my kids to grow up with a bunch of drama in their lives! Kids create enough drama on their own without having a grown adult adding to it! Haha! Good luck!
