Let's make them *reallllyyyy* good today

momma4jax · March 2011

Im living with my parents and sister right now. and i HATE that my 16 year old sister doesn't use common sense for ANYTHING!!!! she acts so friggin stupid! And my parents enable her, but then they complain about it.

She gets away with EVERYTHING! Like homework, she rarely does it, and when she does she waits until late at night to do it then cant finish it because she has to go to bed. Shes already having to re-take 2 classes because she failed. I dont think she should be allowd to go to extra curricular activities because she doesn't do her homework (or she lies and says she does it and really didnt). Like youth group, i know thats bad to say but i think school is more important. and i think she only goes to socialize anyway. She's in FFA, 4H, youth group, has 4 horses, 2 chickens, 3 roosters, and a goat. She has SO much responsibility and DOES NOTHING! then my parents complain about it.... She also never cleans her room ( i am afraid to go in there!)

The worst part of being a Mod is having to bite my tongue more often than I'd like to.

I hate being told by a 300+ poster that I'm being snarky. Get a grip. You don't even know what snark is.

weddingcaketaster · March 2011

the assistant director at my school is trying to push for them to bend the rules and hold a spot in the infant room for my baby so that i'll come back to work (I work at a head start program, but we are specialized in serving HIV affected families, so my baby would like 120% not qualify). I know if the CEO agrees to this, it would be huge...they've never even considered doing something like this before. so, if they do decide to offer that to me, i pretty much have to take it...it's a huge ego boost for me, but there is a big part of me that hopes they don't present that offer to me, and i can just stay home with my baby girl as planned

00tedsgirl · March 2011

Totally hear you, kerrbear. I'm in the same boat on a different forum.

I hate when people lie about why they are missing an event. I don't see the need to justify my plans to anyone really, so I really don't understand lying about them. If you can't or don't want to go to something, just don't. I have two friends who lied about not having babysitters and having to back out of FREE massages this week. In reality they were going to the capitol to protest for midwife law changes. Fine, that's a great cause. Yes, you've inconvenienced some people, but the world will not end. Just own up to it for crying out loud. Now any time either of them cancel anything I'm going to assume they are lying.

I want to get rid of my cat, but I won't because I don't know anyone who would and could provide a good home for her.

LLH2010 · March 2011

There is someone on this board that I find so incredibly annoying and snobby. Every single time she posts it is like nails on a chalkboard for me and I almost always roll my eyes at her.

It might be the same person for me. I just have her blocked now. When people quote her and I actually do read something she's written it is even worse than before.

I don't really have a FFC of my own today...yet. It's still early.

LovelyLou23 · March 2011

i confess that sometimes i get really annoyed when being pregnant gets in the way of doing things. for example last night, i had a lot more that i wanted to get done after dinner, but i was so exhausted and i knew my body needed a break. but it annoyed me that i couldn't do what i wanted to do! don't get me wrong, i'm extremely grateful for this baby growing inside of me. i guess i just need to learn some selflessness!!

MaybeBaby2 · March 2011

I judge an aquaintance of mine and I'm not too much of a 'Mommy judge' as it is.

The doctor took me off of bedrest yesterday, which is great and I'm super happy about it. However, I don't want to tell my uncle that anything has changed. He doesn't try and make me do things for him so he's becoming more self sufficient. I would like that to continue so he can eventually live by himself which is the ultimate goal. So even though I don't have to stay in bed today I'm going to for the most part. I'll clean a bit during his nap.

Also the other night I was rocking in DH's computer chair and he was talking about the baby and how I'll be doing a lot of that soon and so will he. I don't want him to hold the baby for awhile. He has motor function issues and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold her properly or have a secure hold on her. I don't want to hurt his feelings though so I don't know what to say to something like that.

Leggadine08 · March 2011

I really cannot stand when people go gaga over celebrities, I really dont get it. I think its sad to see so many 16 year olds going into hysterics over Justin Beiber. I really hope my daughter isnt such a boy crazy airhead, she will seriously get on my nerves if so.

This kind of goes hand in hand but I cannot stand "Twilight Moms". Its bad enough when a flightly teenage girls want to go all groupy for a book/movie/actor but a grown woman? Please. I work with a 34 year old mom of 4 who has bumper stickers that say "I Drive Like A Cullen" and "Team Edward". She wears a Twilight necklace and talks about it nonstop, I feel bad for her husband. I just dont understand the need to gravitate towards something and then be consumed by it, especially something as vapid as a teenage vampire love story. Im not saying that the books arent good stories, I just dont think they merit the attention theyve recieved.

You're a good person.

I would just ask him to hold her only while he's sitting. Maybe he'll understand.

And if she's swaddled there will be less of her jerky movements to throw him off.

I hope we can accommodate his want to be involved. I'm just a little nervous because its essentially like letting a 5 or 6 year old hold a baby. In those cases I would have them sit down and the baby would be asleep or swaddled like you guys have suggested but its not an everyday thing. Since we are living in the same house I hope he doesn't want to be TOO involved. I'm just nervous about it and it makes me feel like a bad person.

I quit being a mod because I got tired of being level headed and reasonably nice, and tired of the fact that the site policies are focused only on profit, not on users.

I'm not even sure most of this board knows who I "was". I had nearly 20,000 posts when I got annoyed and switched over to this name.

Haha I LOVE it. I told DF the exact same thing! If there was a group of Miley Cyrus fans that were 40 year old guys, somebody would have a problem with it.

jordanjamison99 · March 2011

I want blueberry muffins... Not just WANT them, I HAVE to have them. Right now. Not later. At this very minute.

I'm trying to bribe the guys at my work to go get me some, if I buy them some. What they don't know is, the one's who said no, will NOT be getting cookies or brownies the next time I make them, and I will make sure I am extra snarky to them today...

I don't care. I'm going to be a grouch because I can.

bulldog_mama · March 2011

I hate the attitude of the women I know who went through a "natural" labor and delivery without medication. Seriously, they drive me batty as they think they are so much better for doing it that way, and if they were able to do it without drugs so should everyone else.

I'm all for an epi. And any other drugs they want to give me to help make it an easier delivery.

Probably not, unless you hung out on The Nest Board That Shall Remain Unnamed :-)

andigurl · March 2011

I totally agree with the celebrity issue. People that are obsessed with celebrities need to get a grip. These famous people don't give a rip about them, but they spend so many hours during their day thinking, talking about, researching, and staring at pictures of these people. The absolute worst is people that are obsessed with reality TV stars. At least some people would say that Miley Cirus, the Twilight actors or whatever has some degree of talent (if you want to call it that, at least they have a 'trade' that they've had to practice). Reality stars are famous for being famous. Most are making millions of dollars by having no talent other than having an abnormally large and luscious a$$ or having rich husbands and treating people like crap. Lame.

I am starting to panic, big time. Lots of people have babies 35/36ish weeks, that is getting me into single digit weeks, people. What the eff.

(FWIW I went to 41 weeks with #1 and fully expect to do the same with this one if I ever even go into labor before having a RCS)

If you can't or don't want to go to something, just don't. I have two friends who lied about not having babysitters and having to back out of FREE massages this week. In reality they were going to the capitol to protest for midwife law changes. Fine, that's a great cause. Yes, you've inconvenienced some people, but the world will not end. Just own up to it for crying out loud. Now any time either of them cancel anything I'm going to assume they are lying.

Mine is similar to this. I hate it when my friends and family say they're going to come and visit me in the hospital and then bail, sometimes without even saying a word. My supposed best friends said they were going to stop by last week for a movie night and never even called to say they couldn't make it. And my mother, who ordered a shower cake for a shower I didn't want, cancelled on me today because she has to make sure the cake doesn't get ruined. I feel like people don't understand how much it means to someone on hospital bedrest when they come to visit. If you can't make it, fine, call and tell me. Or better yet, don't even tell me you're going to come. Then I won't be disappointed when you flake out.

Ugh, I hate that Green Living is basically a dead board now. I liked a board that A) Was not as cliquey as EFF and Didn't constantly talk about cloth diapers even though there is a CD board AND I do CD.

I didn't know you were a ML reg.

Please tell me you still lurk on MM. There have been some doozy's lately, mostly people from the Bump, mostly in giant debt holes, who mostly have a million excuses as to why they don't need the help that they asked for. Blergh.

I recognize your name but I don't think we ever really interacted. Probably from the H&F or ML, but it depends on how long ago you were on ML.

And people are crazy. Especially about money and ignoring their problems/reality.

I didn't know there were forums on The Nest until you ladies brought it up. I assumed we were in a Bump Bubble. Embarrassed

LO had his fat little feet in my ribs last night so I thumped the bottom of his feet. I hope it was a foot and not his head or something. It got whatever was in there out, though. DD cracked three of my ribs in week 38, and I'm really afraid of it happening again. So painful...

Holy crap!!!! HELLO!!!

The very first time I saw "tokenhoser" with the Maple Leaf avatar and read your post on this board (months and months ago) I was like, I wonder if all people from Canada are funny because that uncannycanuck chick was hilarious too. This is too funny to me!! I've been around much longer than I would care to admit too.
