I think Bobby, Daisy et al have all moved on so I will continue the tradition.

I was grocery shopping yesterday and there was a dad with a 3-4 y.o. DD there. This girl had an epic, screaming, hysterical, hyperventilating fit over something in every.single.aisle. I felt a little bad for the dad, but I stuck around even in the aisles that I didn't need anything in, because it was one of the most hilarious things I'd ever seen.

I don't like tattoos. I've seen a couple of small ones on people that look okay, but I think most of them look ridiculous on people.

I was at the grocery store last week and saw a mom screaming at her two kids in the parking lot. Her little boy (2-3) got out of the car and laid down on the ground. Mind you it was 5 degrees and the ground was covered in slush. She continued to yell at him, then picked him up and put him back in the car and said "I don't care if I gave you the chips before we left, you can't bring them into the store. If you aren't good I am leaving you in the car." She then shut the door and started to walk to the store with her daughter. I glanced at her, she saw me and then walked back to the car and got her son. I was horrified because I think if I wouldn't have been there, she would have left him in the car. Indifferent

I don't trust my ILs with DD.

If they are babysitting her I purposely make my plans at 7:30 or 8 so that I can feed her and put her to bed myself. If I go out earlier, they do whatever they want with her and don't follow her bedtime routine at all and it's a nightmare when I get home.

Also, it secretly makes me happy that every single time MIL holds DD, DD cries. That's what happens when you BARELY hold your grandchild bc "she's too heavy"

AvidVertigo · January 2011

Since we are talking about grocery stores -

I parked across from one of those expectant mother parking spots and a lady and her teenage daughter actually decided to park in one of the spots.

When I got into the grocery store the lady walks up to me and says "Since you have a baby, do you have a kleenax on you, I really need one" and I say, no but I have a wet wipe and was nice enough to give her one. Her daughter was deaf. In a way, in my mind I think it was okay for her to park in that spot.

(Sorry, I don't have much to FFFC today)

Tippy05 · January 2011

This is awful, but I don't think my new neice is a very cute baby. I'm hoping she "grows" into her skin soon because right now she's just not that cute.

I took tomorrow off of work to go to my SILs cheer competition but I have no intentions on going to the competition. I just didn't want MIL to take my DS there with her all day. I don't think he'll be able to nap well with a million screaming girls around and I didn't want him to be grumpy for me when I got off work. I'll let them know in the morning before they leave that I'm not going. Big Smile

Mrsmaybebaby · January 2011

my grandparents live nextdoor and I intentionally leave the garage doors down so my g-ma can't see we're home. She comes over and royally messes up our day, yes shes trying to help but its just not worth it! *I also pull out of the driveway going in the opposite direction so she doesn't see us leave and watch for us to get home!

Sad ..I know, not very nice!

I used to pick up candy that would fall on the floor near candy machines (in the grocery store, the mall, etc) and I'd tell my brother and sister that I had a trick to get free candy out of the machines. I may or may not still be doing that Wink

I don't think it's awful. Babies are technically cute, but some really just aren't.

A girl I used to work with is pregnant with her third baby. She has 2 boys already, and really had her heart set on a girl (understandably). Well she went to CVS and purchased the oh-so-reliable gender predictor Intelligender. She pees in a cup, it magically tells her she is having a girl, she celebrates, and goes and spends $500 on pink baby girl things. Fast forward to the anatomy scan, she is having another boy! I felt kind of bad for her (just a little) because I know how awesome it is to have a DD, that is until she starts posting how she is in mourning about this and can't believe she has to return the girl stuff and thank God for her family and friend's support through this difficult time. OMG chick! Get over yourself, be happy you are able to be pregnant with this blessing and you get what you deserve... Who the h*ll puts all of their stock into the color of their pee to tell them it's a girl. I can't help but laugh... a lot... at her now. Sorry for lack of paragraphs. Posting from blackberry

#1 Is she really that dumb? #2 People that "mourn" the fact that they're not getting the gender that they want need a reality check. As long as that baby is healthy WHO CARES WHAT IT IS! (Can you tell this is one of my pet peeves?)

kate&bri09 · January 2011

My cousin is having a baby and I am kinda hoping that she:

A) Has a boy

If she does have a girl, that she isn't as cute as I think DD is.

I know I'm horrible, but whatever...

I would cut the girl some slack. A person can be sad about not having a girl while still being very grateful for healthy baby boys. She is lucky to have friends and family supporting her. When someone reaches out for help. the last thing they need is someone shaming them for needing the help.

angiek941 · January 2011

Every time I see a post about somebody getting pregnant, every time I see someone who's pregnant all I can think is THANK GOD IT'S NOT ME! I even look at the tri boards just to feel that relief. I love my baby, but I did not like being pregnant!

BlueRidge8 · January 2011

DD and I are going to spend the weekend with my parents (DH is working) and they live an hour away.

My grandmother lives in my town and my mom has asked that I bring her. I know she needs a change of scenery (less snow) and is lonely but selfishly I'm bummed that I won't get my me-time in the car and be able to listen to my music (she'll complain).

Definitely NOT cutting her some slack. It is a month later and she is still "mourning" not getting what she wanted. I think it is pathetic. When you willingly get pregnant, you know you have a 50/50 chance at a certain sex. I get being bummed about not being able to have the little girl you dreamed of... I stated in my OP that I felt bad for her at first. But now she is acting like a little brat that didn't get her way.

I've been out of work sick with a 101 fever since Wednesday (and I might still have a fever right now, I don't know) but I still came into work today because I couldn't stand missing anymore hours whether I get my co-workers sick or not. Is that bad?.....

Again, I totally agree with jess. I get it if you're initially bummed but get over it honey and move on! No one should feel sorry for you that you didn't get your way. You knew what you signed up for when you got prego.

missdanib · January 2011

When I had my daughter I only worked part time. I still had to pay for fulltime daycare, so basically half of my pay went to daycare. I figured out that if you took out the cost of daycare, the amount I would bring home on unemployment would be the same I brought home working. So I did a really crappy job at work knowing that my boss would "lay me off" and not fire me. Yesterday was my last day, and I am fully enjoying my first day at home with DD. My husband does not know of my master plan. Embarrassed

But honestly, my boss was going to close the office in May anyway, so I just accelerated the inevitable.

I don't like tattoos. I've seen a couple of small ones on people that look okay, but I think most of them look ridiculous on people.

I agree, gross and ridiculous. DH has been wanting one forever. I would be livid if he got one.

My confession-I don't give DD solids every day. She despises them, its a battle that ends with me frustrated and her covered in cereal because her mouth was clamped shut and her head was flailing back and forth. I throw away more milk/cereal/puree than she eats. So some days I just don't have the emotional energy to go there, even though I know only time will fix it.

You are not alone!! It is an absolute battle with DD to get to her eat food.... It's so frustrating so some days she only gets formula.

A few days ago, we ran out of cat food and DH forgot to bring a new bag home (or I forgot to tell him we needed it). The next day, it was freezing outside and I didn't feel like going to the store. DH worked til 9pm. I fed my kitties a jar of a babyfood chicken dinner so I wouldn't have to bundle up DD and myself to go to the store.

sometimes i wish my DH would just take a job from my father ... seriously i get it. my DH went to college graduated got a great job, then they shipped his department over seas and instead of adapting he gave up and got a crap job at a gas station, now he is a SAHD. my dad runs a good buisness and hired two of his brothers within a year of working for him they went from living in crap apartments to owning their own homes

i'm sorry he does a great job as a SAHD but i wish he had more ambition

Exactly. Cut her some slack. Easy to say when you aren't in her position. I have 4 boys I know. Do I love my boys? YES... I did want a girl though. I will never have that and the thought makes me sad.

I'd be really pissed if someone at my work did this, got me sick, and then caused my kids to be sick. Really, really pissed. So yes, it's bad.

My FFFC:

DH and I are talking about having another baby. It would be terrible for me to be pregnant anytime before July. I feel guilty because I love my DS more than anything, and he should get to be an only child for a while. I just started a new job, another baby would really strain our budget, but at the same time, my bff just told me she's expecting a baby girl and I'm jealous as heck.
