    On a somewhat related note, I think Easter baskets for infants are really dumb.

    Thank you. We have to do one for DS because DD knows about the Easter bunny. He's getting some bibs and spoons. Sorry kid you won't remember this and we don't need more shiit laying around the house.

    Past 6 months old I think posting the 'adjusted age' of your preemie is bullshit. When your kid is a year are you really going to say 'adjusted age: 10 months 3 days"?

     

    Bullshit.

    Most preemies are not considered 'caught up' to full term babies until one year. Some micro preemies it can be even longer. Preemies have a lot of issues that full term babies NEVER have to think about. My son was born at 35 weeks. I do not use his adjusted age because he was so close to full term. However, there are a number of things that he is behind on and a number of issues that late term preemies face.

    Haha no I just like to swear and I'm trying to cut down around LO... so now it comes out in other ways. It bugs me no more than any other UO bugs its holder, I imagine.
    Well Ha Ha to that. HA HA.

    Idiot, you just pissed off every mom that has a preemie.

    I think that the phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is used too much.

    On a semi-related note, I loathe the phrase, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."

    Someone needs to refine this. What the hell is the point of having cake if you can't eat it?

    And on an un-related note.  Your DD is so stinkin cute I can't stand it. 

    Aww thanks. :)

    I'm not really pissed. You could say annoyed. Now I just think she is an idiot.

    Hahah. You are hilarious. Are you one of those people who think that when a baby is born prematurely all they have to do is grow? Get a fvcking clue.

  • Meh, It's a UO. I've known people who have had preemies (to be fair, not micro preemies) and at a certain point they stop looking at where their 'adjusted' age is because they're in the middle of the two ages, developmentally speaking, and all were caught up by a year.

    When does it stop?

    Oh, and I thought Luke was precious in his bunny suit. We actually busted Spencer's out last night and he was just as cute in his. I question the sense of humor of anyone who can't get on board with an adorable baby rocking a bunny suit. Yes, they are ridiculous.

    Ridiculously awesome.

    Why thank you! I cant wait to see Spencer in his! I was thinking lighten up lady. Its just a bunny suit :]

    i don't see why she needs to "lighten up".  she simply stated her opinion, which is the whole point of this post.  no need to take it so personally!

    I guess my UO is if a person can't enjoy a bunny suit they need to lightedn up. If you posted a picture of your LO in somthing and were the only one who did it the day before you wouldnt really enjoy the comment.

    Why not just say, "I think MamaLBF's bunny suit was stupid." I feel like the poster was just talking about me right in front of my face. But I really could care less. I enjoyed it and thats all that matteres.

    If you don't at the very least wipe down a grocery cart before putting your child in it you are an ignorant and not to mention negligent fool. People purchase raw meats from grocery stores. They fondle said meats and then touch the handles on that grocery cart without ever having wiped their hands.

    The risk of e-coli and salmonella alone are enough reason to use a cart cover and/or wipe down a cart. 

    I read something that said about 90% of shopping carts have traces of fecal matter on them. FECAL MATTER. I ALWAYS use the wipes they put next to the carts. Gross.

       

    Late to the party...

    The couple of months I spent working at WalMart made me realize that cart covers are necessary.   I've seen people:

    1.  Sneeze SNOT into their hands, then they wipe it on the cart and the handles.

    2.  Place foul smelling, dripping chittlens in the cart's seat.

    3.  Dig up their butt to get a deep itch and touch the cart.

    4.  Shiit in the goddamned bathroom sink, so there's no way in hell they could have washed their hands afterwards.

    5.  Little kids pee their pants while sitting in a cart.

    6.  Wipe boogers onto the plastic seat of the cart.

    ...and that's just the things I could think of on the top of my head.

    Cart covers?  Completely necessary. 





    however long the night, dawn will break.

    Their age is adjusted until they are two and even then some are not "caught up" yet.

    I think it is safe to say this is a good UO. These is no way I'm letting my LO nom on a nasty shopping cart.

    Agreed!  No way!  Do you know how many people potty, don't wash & then put their nasty poo poo hands on that buggy??

  • A little late to the party... I live in california and our budget is terrible. I think a huge solution would be for the teachers union to agree to a pay freeze and pay for part of thei insurance coverage. Working in the private sector, I have had a pay freeze for over a year and my DH took a 20% pay cut, but we did it so we would still have jobs. I guess it just frustrates me that the teachers are encouraging their students to walk out of class or wear all black to protest when these kids are in junior high and are only listening to what their teachers are saying, they are unaware of the other side of the issue. For clarification, I think teachers have an extremely difficult job, but I think I do too, I think that maybe the heads of the union are being selfish.

    Oh my that is special. We don't have cart covers but the twins will likely not sit in a cart anyway. Easier to have them both sit in the stroller or leave at home with the husband.

    I love my cart cover. It's easier than wiping the disgusting grocery cart down. And I just throw it in the wash once a week.

    My UO: I think country music is awful. There might be 5 songs total I can tolerate and the rest make me want to poke my eyes out.

    I love country boys and I'm a little bit redneck (at least compared to some of you classy women) and I love me some good country music!

    Me too, but we knew this already...I guess I'm just popping in super late to this UO to say ILY!

    It's not bullsh!t at all! I have 12 year old twins that were born 10 weeks premature. It took them longer than 6 months to catch up!

    I think bunny suits, especially for boys are silly....

    and I love Country Music

    BUT, I do know some preemies, that go by *adjusted age* to monitor their milestones, my friends twins were born at 6 months, they are now almost 3. So we do agree on something.
