When Gage drops his paci in public I just stick it in my mouth and wipe it off and pop it back in.

Is this wrong?  I do it all the time!

Nope.  It's the right way.  There was a whole study even about it.  Shares good bacteria with your kid and makes them healthier.  :-)

Tame stuff today. I'll shake it up.

First off, I have never experienced a miscarriage. So I could be totally off base on this although I can imagine how difficult they can be to go through. But I don't think putting "loss sensitive" etc on posts that are otherwise very tame is necessary. Sure, if you're going to post something graphic that has to do with the subject matter, then a disclaimer is a welcome courtesy for everyone. But I feel like posting it on every single thread that is vaguely about loss might in some way turn the knife every time someone who has experienced a recent loss sees it. Why remind them if it might not have otherwise? Again, I haven't experienced a loss but I imagine that's how I would feel.

Also, there are certain people whose confessions I skip entirely every week because they have always been boring and will always be boring.

This is why I don't even bother to make one.  It'd be totally boring.

5 or more years ago mine would have been about random sex, drugs, petty larceny or some combination of the above.  Now it'd be... wasting an inordinate amount of time? somewhat lazy parenting?    Snore.

I fully admit I miss the random sex and drugs.

I secretly judge my friends who feed their kids nothing but processed foods.nbsp; I'm not talking about the occasional fast food or frozen stuff a few times a week.nbsp; I'm talking about people who only feed their kids McDonalds or frozen chicken nuggets, chicken fries, French fries, etc.nbsp; I honestly think that they are the reason their kids are picky.There are things that Tyler won't eat, but we always keep trying, and if we are eating fast food, I try to make him a chicken quesadilla with beans or heat up the homemade chicken nuggets or something like that.nbsp; We actually eat a lot healthier now that we have him, because he wants to eat what we are eating, and I refuse to feed him nothing but crap.nbsp;

I'm right there with the judging on this one, although I haven't met anyone who actually does this. I saw a kid the other day on the light rail who was maybe 2 and drinking a full sugar cherry coke. That mom was getting the side eye from me for sure.

I am so over being a bridesmaid in my friends' wedding. This is costing me a small fortune! 180 for the dress 80 bucks for hair, 36 for makeup, grand total of 4 days out of work, not to mention the bachelorette party, custom underwear she is making us get, the hotel room, babysitter and bridal party gift. Oh, and did I mention that H is the best man?? We are getting slammed on both sides. I want to bow out, but there is no graceful way. Friends IRL are so over rated!!

I have had one and the Loss sensitive stuff offends me as if I wouldnt be happy for other peoples joy. When I have an announcement I will not be sugar coating it.
