lilmgirl · May 2010

I don't recycle and I eat a ton of carbs and junk food now.

Hyfagal · May 2010

I don't recycle at home.

hotmama82 · May 2010

I have horrible grammar!

PunkyBooster · May 2010

I love carbs. Always have.

I can be a brand snob. I'm not over the top like some of the girls on the baby gear board, but I do have specific tastes in things.

I love animals and have welcomed 12 foster dogs in my house, but I hate my friend's unneutered, untrained doxie. I find that he is a horrid little creature.

I could be much better at recycling than I am.

alisonjoy80 · May 2010

Some of my shoes are not cute, but they are comfortable. That matters more to me.

I don't recycle all the things I can.

This exactly.

JulietL129 · May 2010

I don't recycle. Ever. Also, I have no inclination to start. If I lived in a place that had curbside recycling, I might, but that's not in the cards.

Since I have gotten pg, I have been sick. However, on those days that I feel semi-OK, I eat. I eat whatever I can. I don't care if it's carbs, sugar and fat with a side of artificial sweeteners and preservatives- I eat. Those days have been few and far between though :-(

memelou10 · May 2010

I don't recycle, I say ain't--ALOT!, oh and Hawaiibride post I had like 3 out of 5. I use the word conversate, i don't like dogs, & my kid is def. spoiled.

elizabeth429 · May 2010

I eat a TON of carbs, and I find some dogs annoying (mostly small dogs). Also, as much as I try for her not to be, I think DD is spoiled.

Personally, I think every kid should be spoiled :-) Your DD is adorable. It would be hard not to spoil her.

There is a difference between a spoiled child and ungrateful brats.

I'm apparently guilty of lots of things.

I eat what I want, when I want it now that I am pregnant. If the thought of food makes me sick but for some reason I can stomach pizza, guess what I'm having for dinner?

I hate dogs (I've been attacked 3 times in my 26 short years) and don't understand why it's so difficult to keep your pet on a leash. He's YOUR dog, I don't have to love him. I have a right to personal space that shouldn't include your dog's face in my crotch because "he's curious"

I'm going to use the Ferber method (I think it's intentionally misleading to call it CIO - Ferber doesn't refer to it that way)

I do have some "I will nevers" even though my LO isn't born yet.

I recycle, but only halfheartedly.

I'm probably a brand-name snob. There are several brand names that I buy over and over again, because I appreciate the quality of the products and would rather spend more money on something that will last than buy 7 cheaper things that fall apart and need to be replaced.

And finally...

We sometimes call the baby "our parasite." My 11yo sister was trying to understand exactly how a baby grew inside of a mommy, and after much explaining, her eyes widened and she said "omg, it's like a parasite!". It was adorable, and I say it from time to time. Lovingly, but yeah.

There isn't any excuse for not obeying leash laws. Crotch sniffing isn't exactly "attacking" though.

yourmom5309 · May 2010

Recycling. What is that?

pipergirlz · May 2010

I hate dogs too!

I'm a snob...

Understand. I should have clarified. I've been bitten three times. Once as a baby, once at age 6, and once in college. All different dogs. When I was 10, I also saw my best friend's rottie get woken up suddenly, be confused, and bite a sizeable chunk out of my friend's face. I was pretty traumatized.

jessrenee11 · May 2010

I don't recycle and I have curb side pick up

stephsteph77 · May 2010

I don't like dogs. At all. Other animals, yes. Dogs? NO.

hjk5000 · May 2010

I'm guilty of having great intentions for eating well, and then eating whatever the hell I feel like and playing the pregnant card.

I don't care if you call it cry it out, Ferber, what have you, I plan on doing it. Surprise

HappyMommy28 · May 2010

I'm not as nice to my husband and mother as I should be. I want to be but I find myself getting super irritated and then going off the handle.

I also am eating whatever I want, LOTS of cereal. I mean - a box in one day on Saturday. ( yikes.

4321piper · May 2010

Every night I ask my DH to bring me a glass of water when he comes up to bed (I take my prenatal vitamins at night) and I leave the glass on my night stand. I think at one point, I had about 10 glasses with about an inch of water in each glass piled everywhere on my side of the bed. I didn't bother to take them back down to the kitchen until we were totally out of glasses, and we had people coming over for dinner

Crotch sniffing isn't an attack, but it can be perceived to be just that by a person unfamiliar with animals. Also, allowing your dog to crotch sniff uninvited is just rude.

ETA: to add my guilts... I also only half-heartedly recycle. Although I am working on that. I just ate an entire block of cheese while reading this thread. And it was good!

Jinsy80 · May 2010

Oh man! I thought we were the only ones that didn't really recycle. I don't feel as bad now. I do need to make more of an effort though...

amandachalynn@yahoo.com · May 2010

I recycle. Our city gives us a giant recycle can and a tiny garbage one. I also did a modified Ferber, and my 4 year old goes to bed now every night at 8pm, with no problems. I'll do the same with this next one. I am not a brand snob, I'll take what I can get. I eat well and exercise. HOWEVER, I am the world's worst housekeeper and right now theres a mug and a bowl on my desk. I have mail from 3 weeks ago on the table next to my couch.

Well of course.

A dog at the shelter where I was working 2 summers ago put me in the hospital after an attack. I can assure you it was not crotch sniffing.

I don't take the word, or accusation, of "attack" lightly is all.

KRISTA555 · May 2010

I usually don't give a flying flip about wearing fashionable shoes, unless I'm going somewhere special.

I eat whatever I want in moderation, including junk food, which means that sometimes you might see junk food in my grocery cart.

I like dogs, but I have no interest in having one, nor do I have any interest in fostering them. Great for you, not for me.

I'm sure there are many more, but I didn't read through the whole thread.

My response? If you're honestly taking the time to judge other people for stupid things like these, than you have way too much time on your hands. I can honestly tell you that I don't pay attention to other people's shoes, grocery carts, or whether or not the choose to own or foster dogs.

Borghesa · May 2010

I'm guilty of drinking diet pop- terrible! I'll take it as the lesser of two evils as I'm insulin resistant so diet pop is one of the only sweet things I can have. Well, and banana muffins made with Splenda. yum!

I do the same thing. Everynight he brings me a gladd & I have about 4 glasses on my nightstand

I agree. I used to work as an animal control officer and had to deal with people bitten by animals all the time. Sadly, the dog is always the one at fault, even if it was just innocent crotch sniffing. It is even more frustrating when the dog is one of the bully breeds - they tend to get targeted (and most often, unfairly).

I'm pretty sure no one said absolutely anything at all about people who don't want to own dogs or don't want to foster dogs... Punky and I vented at how annoying it is when people say things like, "Oh, I would foster, but I would get too attached, there's no way I ever could." Makes us sound like heartless biatches who don't care... it's really annoying.

And as far as your response... everyone judges things- I think the whole point of this thread was for people to just recognize what stupid things they judge others over... I see you missed that point way up there on your high horse. Also, I can definitely say that those little things I judge people over, takes literally no time out of my day. I'm just a super quick thinker like that I guess.

This kind of reminds me of when I was dating DH long distance, and some people would say " I could never be long distance with my boyfriend, I'd miss him too much." Yeah, well if you really loved him you'd do it if you had too. It was super annoying.
