I hate the word "Supper". It reminds me of a runny dinner.

Agreed. It's up there with "lunch meat". I can't think of two less appetizing terms.

LOL, I hate "supper", too. My MIL calls lunch "dinner" and dinner "supper". WTH?? Maybe its a Dutch/regional thing, I dunno... But I hate it.

Also, I just realized that I think this was my first MIL vent ever.

I call dinner supper, always have.

The Paleo diet is low/no carb, right?

AG, you might want to tell your SIL that babies who are nursing from a mama on a low carb diet will start to "forget" to eat. My DS has had some weight issues and ever time I visited the pedi she'd ask me if I'm on a low carb diet. I wasn't, but she explained to me that the lack of carbs in mama triggers the production of ketones which pass through breastmilk. The ketones then pass to the baby and make the baby feel less hungry and stop giving hungry cues and in more extreme cases make him not want to eat. It can be really dangerous!

She won't listen to me, it is also no dairy so I have no idea how she thinks she is getting the calcium she needs while nursing, BFing leeches the calcium from your bones and teeth.

I gag at all of the lunch meat posts on the Bump. Trust me, I miss a lot of crap while pregnant -- gross processed lunch meat is not one of those things.

Margaritas are what I missed.

I don't agree with the paleo diet in general, but calcium is not JUST in dairy.

ETA: Obv, I don't know more about how your SIL eats than you do, so you may be leaving out the fact she's not getting enough green leafy vegetables and such. But as a vegan, the fact that people say stuff like this makes me even more convinced that most of America doesn't know where to get vital vitamins and nutrients from food sources.

I have never heard of the paleo diet. My UO is that while perusing e-books at the library yesterday, I realize that I don't have any desire to read the Hunger Games series. There, I said it.

I'll agree with your UO. I keep saying I'll pick them up used at a book sale or something but I haven't even looked for them yet and I think I got into it because of the movie hype.

sdo_082989 · April 2012

People that can't joke about their marriage or spouse or being a parent irritate me. Nothing about any of it is perfect 24/7.

ETA: OK I lied...it isn't them NOT joking...it's their reaction to someone who DOES joke about it. Like they are going to hell for not thinking their spouse or children are perfect.

No I get that there are tons of calcium right foods that are not dairy, but the fact is in the typical American diet most people do get the majority of their calcium from some type of dairy. You are right I don't know how she eats, but I do believe it is important for kids to get a well rounded healthy diet and I don't believe paleo fits that bill.

I think "bwahahaha" is over used and annoying. The arguments/reasoning behind why baby signing is so great and important for typically developing babies makes me want to break things and yell profanity.

Andrewsgal · April 2012

I don't believe people who say they never judge, of course most people don't walk up at a stranger at a park and judge them to their face, but everyone judges at some point.

If I roasted a turkey and sliced it thinly and put that meat onto a sandwich, I would call it lunch meat. I don't automatically assume it's processed and filled with crap.

StephNJer · April 2012

I think it's so lame when someone posts in a Flame Free Confessions post (on any board, not just this one) that their FFC is that they had a candy bar for breakfast. Lamest flame free confession ever. As long as you are not eating massive amounts of candy at every single meal, there is nothing flameworthy about this. Yet somehow, almost every flame free post has at least one poster proclaiming they had a freaking candy bar. I want to flame them not for eating the candy bar, but for posting such a lame "confession".

So we can't say "LOL" unless we're really laughing out loud. We can't say Bwahahaha...what can we do to convey we are amused by something? Perhaps, *chuckle* or "I just smiled at this posting"? Maybe just *amused face* ??

I agree. I actually borrowed the book from the library because everyone kept talking about how amazing it is. I opened the book once, read one page, put it down and took it back to the library. It sat in my house for over a week before I even touched it.

I never got into the Twilight books/movies either and have no desire to read the books or see the movies.

What about a good old fashioned ha or haha or hahaha or hahahahahahahahahahahaha? Even a hehe? Why aren't those good enough anymore?

I'm not requesting that anyone stop using bwahahaha. I'm just saying it annoys me - that is certainly not a good reason for anyone to quit using it.

FWIW, I liked it about the first 700 times I saw it. I'm just over it now.

And no, Emily, it isn't better without at W - maybe even worse.

I feel like hating Walmart is the popular thing to do right now. I think many people hate it just because others hate it. Who cares. I've never really developed passionate feelings about a retail store ( well maybe babies r us. Crappy customer service. I hate that place. ) :-)

I hate Walmart. I have some reasons though. The store near my house is filthy. It's really disgusting. The customer service sucks. And lastly, the store is completely disorganized. Maybe this is just the store near me. I don't judge others who shop there regularly, I just try to avoid it.

Every Walmart around here is like that. They are gross and disgusting and you couldn't pay me to shop there. I know in different areas they are nice, but I still shudder a bit when people rave about them because I am so used to the way they are here

Haha! This reminds me of a conversation I just had with DH. A friend on FB always posts those stupid pics of animals in silly situations with some supposed to be funny saying around them, they are always misspelled...lolcatz I guess they're called? Anyway this friend always accompanies the post with ROFL, ROFLMAO, etc. etc. I told DH recently that I was going to start commenting, "Really? Are you REALLY rolling on the floor laughing? Because I think that's kind of overkill in this particular instance." I just don't get it. If it's funny, fine, but no one really believes you're rolling on the floor.

Oh like pay off a mortgage in your 20's without getting some tpye of inheritance, winnings, etc?

I still don't buy that. Then again, I don't fight with my husband about money. And you don't believe that, sooo....?

Mrs.Hizzo · April 2012

These are fun, I'm sorry I missed them.

- I also hate Walmart, and I've hated it for more than a decade.

- Susan, right on with the baby signing. I have nothing bad to say about people who do it, but we did not, and my MIL acted like we were ruining our children's futures because of it.

- I believe it when people say they don't fight (although this sounds very stale to me), but it irritates the crap out of me when people (like me) post about some random argument, money related or not, and everyone gets up in arms about it and acts like there's something seriously off-kilter in the marriage. Great, you don't fight. That's marvelous. However, in my marriage, we have "lively" discussions on a regular basis, and even get seriously mad at each other a couple times a year. And we're no worse off for that. This idea that there's something unhealthy about getting angry with your spouse once in a while is extremely strange to me.

- I find all diets stupid. Not talking about being vegan or vegetarian, which I consider a lifestyle choice. But I always think anyone who buys into paleo, atkins, eating-for-your-blood-type, cleanses, etc., must be incredibly gullible.

I am a lurker here but a SAHM. I am not sure why it is so hard to believe a couple doesn't fight about money. My husband and I have never had a fight about money. We have our own "issues" that we sometimes fight about but money isn't one of them. We have all the money we need, we are on the same page about how we spend and save and while my husband earns the money, I manage it. This has worked for us for 8 years of marriage so far.
