Post Something that other moms do that annoys you....

Stolen from Feb 2012

One of mine is kids running around at a restaurant. They don't need to be climbing all over everything and under the tables. Take a little time and have them behave. This just makes my kid wonder why he isn't allowed to act crazy too.

I have had another mom tell me that she would never do a home birth because she couldn't risk her or her children's lives like that.... After I told her about my home birth.... I mean to each their own, but I didn't do anything "risky" or "unsafe" by choosing to have my son at home after a complication free pregnancy and attended by two midwives

Home birth in an of itself isn't risky or unsafe, but the circumstances around it may be. For me I would not be comfortable with it because the nearest hospital is 30 minutes away, so should something happen, it would be about 30 to 45 minutes (because ambulances drive faster then speed limit) until I was in a doctors care and that is too much risk for me. Therefore I would never risk my child's life by doing a homebirth. However, you did what you thought was best for your child and that is perfectly fine too!

I got annoyed last night at kids in our neighborhood. I know this isn't technically a mom thing, but some kids (I have no idea who) decided it would be a good idea to burry the steps going up to the play structure at the park in sand. So we get there and the entire set of steps is burried in sand. My daughter was thrown off for a bit, and then just climbed up the sand, but it took me about 10 minutes to clear away all the sand from the steps. Kudos to the mom's who taught their kids to think of others before doing something!

I really want to comment but my DS is only 4.5 months and I am so afraid of having to eat my words later!

I don't have two kids and I cannot imagine how challenging it is, but I HATE when one gets in trouble all the time and the other can do no wrong. This happens with my nephew all the time, my niece beats the crap outta him and HE gets in trouble...he's such a little sweetheart it breaks my heart

Jess084 · June 2012

I hated other moms telling me I wouldn't be able to have a drug-free birth because I wouldn't be able to stand the pain and that I would give in. I wish I had a nickel for every person who told me how awful their labor was until they got the magical epidural and how would need that, too.

I am truly happy that you had the birth you wanted. Please don't try to discourage me from having the birth experience I want.

I saw a mom with a 1 1/2 year old who was given soda in a bottle. I have 2 problems with that. First, a child that age is perfectly capable of at least drinking from a sippy cup if not an actual cup. Second, why would you give a child that young soda on purpose. I'm sure he likes soda, but that's not my first choice in beverage for any child, let alone a toddler.

Jayhawk08 · June 2012

When kids have a pacifier after 6 months or so. I find it especially annoying when try are old enough to talk but you can't hear/understand them because they have that stupid thing in their mouth. We let our son have one the first few weeks, but if he spit it out we didn't repeatedly put it back in; thus he only had it when he really needed it and he was totally over it by like 6 weeks. I know some babies need them to be calm and that's fine but after 6 months they are old enough to sooth themselves in other ways and you're just creating a nightmare for down the road. Case in point, the three year olds waking around with them in their mouths at all times except meal time. Super annoying!

That would annoy me too! I watched a mom give her 8 month old a half a bottle of iced tea. Terrible! I'd also like to add that I cant stand when children over the age of 3 have pacifiers, especially in public. I was at the apple store the other day and there was a little girl who was at least 6 with a pacifier. She looked ridiculous!

I hate it when moms brag about their kids sleeping through the night.

I also hate it when I see moms yelling at their kids in public.

wychets · June 2012

I cringe when I see a Mother change her LO in public. Everyone shouldn't be able to see your Lo's private area baby or not! Ugh! Oh one more my cousin props her babies bottle up with a blanket...I HATE IT, I always just go and pick him up and feed him. I don't understand why you can't take 5-10mins to bond with you're baby while he/she is eating!!!

I hate when moms intentionally ignore their kids as they play with the POS equipment (credit card reader/signature device) in a store. It is not a toy. It is not there for their entertainment. Besides, it is obnoxious to hear the pings and noises that come from it over and over again as it is being nonsensically pounded on by said children.

I also hate when parents allow their children to interrupt a conversation between two adults. I will be talking to another adult and their child will be "Excuse me, excuse me" and telling me about their day. I really hate to be a jerk here, but even if you taught them to say "excuse me," it should only be used in the case of an emergency and, in this case, the events of their day does not constitute an emergency. It is awesome their mothers are trying to teach them to be polite, but there is an extra step--and that extra step should be to wait until a natural pause in conversation to interrupt or contribute.

bigbear · June 2012

I get upset when moms say that you can't expect a 10 year old to remember their homework, pack their school bag or understand that the retainer is expensive and you need to take good care of it.

WHAT? So you are not even giving your child a chance to learn responsibility and don't think that your child can do anything on their own.

I packed my own school bag from day one! I remembered my homework, I knew what responsibility and what consequences meant. And I was in no shape or form mistreated or traumatized. I was taught responsibility from early on.

Of course my parents were there if I needed them. I just think that parents baby their kids way too much

Izabella22 · June 2012

When other moms say "I'll never do XYZ with my kid" and get all judgy on you if you did something on their list. It drives me nuts. Every kid is different and sometimes you just have to do what works...

I did it with only the petocine (spelling) which helps you rest/relax between contractions but you still feel the pain like crazy. After 24 hours of labor, it did help me sneak a few minute naps between but just as one is going away the next contraction is starting. I did everything else natural and it was the best feeling to go through the labor and delivery w/ my lo. the labor hurts more than delivery as delivery is more of a relief even though it hurts too. I felt powerful and better than those who do it the chicken *** way. Its like a right of passage i feel. just remember to breathe through the contractions and relax for your babys well being. be sure to talk to her during labor too. You can do it. Women have been doing it for years w/ out meds/epidural and if i did it you can too. Dont miss this once in a lifetime experience.

cmamsm · June 2012

not discipline their kids. like my aunt who lets her daugter jump on bed next to my infant. i have to say something because she says "no dont do that" and kid continues to ignore her.

breastfeeding a 2 year+8months old- with a full set of teeth who eats full on adult meals. I get it, you like to bond with your child, however it quite annoys me that your kid tells you to stop bottle feeding my infant so she can get "chi-chi"

Oh, and the fact that she puts her daughter in my babys rocker and jumper. going on 3 years old, the kid shoudl be on a tricycle or something, not in my infants stuff!

these things annoy the heck out of me! its hard to vent to hubby when its his family.

pitocin induces contractions and talk to me when you have torn from A to V

We've got a winner here.

Pitocin induces labor and is not meant to relax you at all. And I would like to know what a chicken sh*t labor/delivery looks like? (Kudos for putting it so eloquently by the way.)

I had an epi that failed and I can assure you my practically med-free c/s was anything but chicken sh*t.

Either you are a troll, a liar, or an idiot (all three?).

She is a troll. Look at her other post they are all pretty nutso and poorly written to boot. Either that or she is just dumb as a rock.

First of all, I believe the drug you are referring to is Fentanyl. Second, hate to burst your bubble, but Fentanyl is a med. Therefore you did not have a med free birth. You can get off your high horse now.

I always wonder about how sad and pathetic someone's life must be to troll around on a message board for the sole purpose to annoy others and cause drama. But hey at least we know from your spelling, grammar and misinformation that you're a genius as well, lol. By the way , this chicken s**t has a beautiful and healthy son who was in no way affected by my epi so your judgmental ignorant ass could shut the F up

1.I cant stand when parents allow their kids to act up in public.

2. Those who walk ahead of their children. I hate it!! This is how kids get abducted. Which also leads me to my next point.

3. Not holding the kids hands when crossing the street or walking in the street and the kid is on the outside of the sidewalk and the parent inside. Ughh!! it annoys me.

4. I might get flamed for this one but I hate seeing moms/parents carrying kids all the time who are old enough to be walking. Like thats cute for the first 2 or 3 years but once they are 5 and 6 its time to put them down lol.

5. Leashes...I HATE THEM!!

6. Parents who know their kids just used the bathroom or just came home from school and no one mentions hand washing. Indifferent I dont care how cute they are they need to learn to wash their hands.

Yep, the leash thing annoys me too. If they're old enough to walk with you, they're old enough to learn how to walk WITH you. Leashes are just an excuse to not teach your child to stay with you.

I also hate seeing parents smoking with their child next to them. If you must destroy your lungs, do it without your child present. If there's noone else to watch them while you smoke, maybe you should wait (or GASP! not smoke at all)

This not only annoys me, it makes me angry... when people don't put their babies in car seats or they put the car seat in the front seat because it's easier while they drive or they place the car seat in the back of the SUV (the trunk). Yes, we have seen it all, we live in the Middle East and here that's normal and nobody would do anything.
