I hate thebump countdown age tickers.

There. I said it. I know, it's your ticker, your business but I've been confused, frustrated and irritated with them on more occasions than I can count. Usually, when I (or anyone) replies to a post, they quickly look at the ticker to take the age of the child into account. YOU know your kid is 5 months and not 7 months, but all I see is "7 months". It's especially confusing in the first 8 weeks when you're trying to figure out how many weeks old of a newborn a new mommy is talking about and you're looking at 11 months, 3 weeks and 3 days" Uhhh...  what!?

Maybe y'all get more sleep than I do, but I doubt it's by much =P

It's been awhile since I used a vent (remember my loathing of way huge siggy pictures) so I figure one was due. Shutting my fat trap nowZip it!

    There was a glitch in the system recently and all of the tickers went to the countdown mode. I had to remake my ticker to get it to count up again.

    But yeah, the countdown is too much work for me.

    I was wondering why my ticker suddenly changed- it's been bugging me too. I've been too lazy to change it though...

    I feel a little better. I thought y'all had just lost your minds. Or were conspiring with my kids to make me lose mine!

    I'm at my parents house right now, with get this- dial up! Needless to say, I'm bumping on my phone. But I'm not dealing with my ticker on my phone. I'm sorry. I owe you gluten free cupcakes for stealing pieces of your sanity

    I concur and should fix mine.  I totally judged someone the other day for something they were doing with their kid that I thought was way too early (but really, I read their ticker wrong and she was way older than i thought).

    I didn't even notice the glitch. I am off to do some ticker damage control.

    I think the glitch happened the day after my DD turned 6 months and I thought it was normal to start counting down.  I'm so glad to know I can swicth it back,  that format sucks!

    Am I only one who only knows how old my kids are because of the tickers? I'm glad I don't have a nest ticker. I can't imagine what kind of chaos that glitch would have caused in my household. Doesn't the nest know that these are people lives they're messing with!??

    Yeah. I posted my rant after I totally barked at s-a-r-a-h for giving her 4 month old 3 meals a day including fruits and veggies. Our daughters are both 7 months old!! and I know this. Man.
