Re: O's of the U variety... (that means UO!)
People who leave the keyboard clicks on on their cell phones are annoying and seem a bit AW to me. Turn that crap off. Nobody wants to hear it. (nor do I want to hear your ringer. If it keeps going off in a semi-quiet place (bank, waiting room, etc.), shut the frigging ringer off.
People who don't keep a checkbook/register/some form of record don't have a right to whine when they overdraw their accounts.
Whoever decided that you have to invite family members that you don't like to your child's birthday party needs to be shot. I'm starting to get all nervous nelly about Aria's party and the inlaws, and we're still 3 weeks out.

I don't understand why people get so worked up over posts on an internet chat board. I totally understand having passions and very strong convictions, trust me, I have them too, but I've seen people actually get like almost violently angry over some posts.
Go ahead and argue your points and disagree with people, that's sort of the point of sharing opinions. Educate people you think don't understand your position, but name calling, expletives and wrath seem a little unnecessary.

Madison slept in the nursery and I formula fed so I didn't see her for like 12 hrs. I needed sleep.

Agreed!
Hahahaha. I don't always feed my kid liquefied food, but when I do, it's from a pouch.
People who have sigs with pics of themselves looking stupid bother me. I cannot help but assume they are stupid, or lack any class, which in some cases is the same thing. I cannot even read their posts. There is only one person on TB whose sig really really gets to me right now - it's not on 0212 but on another board.
After 42 hours of labor, I was too tired to get emotional. For reasons unknown, I was trying (unsuccesfully) to count her toes, and was annoyed at the nurses for trying to make me breastfeed when I was tired. (yes, that is how irrational I was from exhaustion!) Once the toes were counted (she has 10, don't worry), I finally tuned in to the nurse trying to get Aria to latch. Aria was too sleepy, and then I started getting shaky and weak. Hubs had to take Aria because I really was dropping her, and the nurses and my Mom went into overdrive trying to get some Gatorade and a cookie in me so I didn't pass out.
The next time I saw Aria, it was 3 hours later. I had slept, eaten, showered, and was in much better state than I was post-birth. That is when I cried.

I'm over the comments about my baby can't eat most solids because they don't have teeth. Some kids don't have teeth until they are over the age of one. Even so who uses their front teeth to mash a grape or blueberry? Kids chew with their back gums, and some won't get molars until they are closer to 2 years old so don't be hesitant to feed them solid food.
If your child doesn't like solids that is an entirely different story. If you are nervous because the lack of teeth cut their food in pea sized pieces and steam anything that you think is too hard or crunchy.
If your kid prefers purees give them to them. I think liking solid food is just a developmental milestone that some kids take longer to reach. If they refuse solids and eat purees feed it to them. Do your part and just continue to offer solid foods daily and eventually it will click for them. I'm sure that there is a kid out there that ate purees until two, but I am also pretty sure that the kid didn't have any health problems because of it. Yes, it would suck to have to make or buy the purees that long but as long as your child is growing and thriving relax. There are many battles in parenting that we have to fight and I think we make it so much harder than it needs to be sometimes.
If your kid refuses all solid and pureed foods, I'm sorry and pray for your sanity.
The " curlz" font doesn't work for monograms on cars. On diaper bags and girls clothes it's ok but not cars.
Sorry! lol - I swear - it's not AW! I have no idea how to shut it off and I lost the manual...
I had it shut off on my old phone.
My UO: I don't like parties that demand things in the invitation. I probably would have bought a book anyway for the baby - but telling me that I must bring a book as part of my gifts is irritating. Same with "bring a letter of the alphabet for the nursery" or "please dress your kids in red and black to go with the party theme". I will probably still do it anyway - but I just hate how they require it. We are having a time capsule for Hayley's birthday, and my message CLEARLY stated "If you would LIKE to bring something, we will include it". If someone doesn't bring something - it's fine by me!
I don't get why people buy hot chocolate k-cups for a keurig. Isn't it the same as dumping a packet of hot chocolate in your cup and then running water through the keurig? Why pay that much when it's the same darn thing?

O 1 more...
I think those signs people put on their newborns car seat while they are shopping are ridiculous and stupid. You know - the ones that say "Please wash your hands before touching mine" or "It's ok to look but please don't touch the baby".
Is a complete stranger going to touch your baby in the middle of babies r us? And if so - I probably wouldn't go wash my hands in the public restroom in anticipation of touching a bunch of random people's babies - so I won't be touching your baby. And the fact that you need a sign to get that across is insulting that people don't have common sense...
...and if you get that one random person who does want to touch your baby - it's a lot cheaper to say "o please, don't touch her" than to purchase a laminated piece of paper with a zip tie.

You're forgiven, but only because I like you, you have an adorable girl, and you make awesome headbands!

What the... what? People do this? Ridiculous.

My UO is that I could care less about the Superbowl. I don't like football, I don't even know who is playing and I am so happy I have a husband who really doesn't care, either! I will however, be tuning in to the Puppy Bowl
I love football... but I'm not excited for the SB this year. I'm not really a fan of the 49ers, and I pretty much loathe the Ravens. (I'm a Steelers fan!) So, this year, I'm participating strictly for the commercials and the food.
ETA: I have no idea what the Puppy Bowl is... :

Clearly you've never sucked the gooey chocolate out of the bottom of a cocoa K-cup.
A room made to look like a stadium and a bunch of puppies and toys play. At the "halftime" of the puppy bowl, kittens come out and be cute to give the puppies a break. Its on Animal Planet and its adorable.
The Puppy Bowl is on Animal Planet the same time as the SB. It's just puppies playing on a little pretend football field and it's just adorable. It goes on for hours and I seriously can't get enough of it. They usually have a kitty half-time show, too
DD is gonna love it this year - she is obsessed with cats and dogs!
ETA: Didn't see that NatnDyl already filled you in before I got around to it.
I didn't have a sign on Emma's carseat, but people seriously didn't have the common sense to not touch my newborn when we were shopping. I can't tell you how many times I had to refrain from smacking the hand of a person who insisted on touching her. A few times people wanted to touch her face. One woman tried to KISS her. I wish I would have had a sign to ward to the touchers.
My UO is that I don't understand parents who complain or are frustrated that their walker can get into everything. We didn't have the extra cash to go out and buy a play yard, so we rearrange our furniture so we have a completely safe baby zone. I guess there are the circumstances where people just don't have the furniture it takes to have a baby safe zone(we call it baby jail). On the other hand though, my MIL likes to tell me to just let Emma walk around the entire house without chasing her. "It's the only way she'll learn to stay out of stuff". Yeah, except when she is eating out of the garbage...Seriously, this has happened. Emma is a wild one and we NEED baby jail, my MIL has admitted to using baby jail while babysitting because she is just too much to chase around!
O ya! I've seen it quite a few times now when I'm out!

Wow! I have not seen those before, but had no need. No one tried to touch Connor because I have a mean case of bitchface.
I'm tired of hearing people telling me my life is going to change now that she can walk. She isn't any less mobile than she was when she crawled. Her knees are less dirty so that is a plus to me. I am glad she is walking. I love watching her walk. She could get into the kitchen cabinets crawling so walking isn't much difference. The climbing is what is going to change things!
We haven't baby proofed anything. She doesn't really get in to things yet. She knows she has a cabinet in the kitchen that is her's and that is the only one she tries to open. She knows what I mean when I saw no and she will kind of test her boundaries but she is a really good baby so I haven't seen the need yet.
I think walking is SO SO SO much easier than crawling. Once they start crawling they want to get down everywhere anyways. It cracks me up when people say this. I always say "yep, now I can let him down wherever we go without him putting his hands in spit or dog crap. Woohoo!"
Those signs are absurd!
And Caillou, don't even get me started. I hope he and Dora are in hell roasting marshmallows together....OH and Ruby from Max and Ruby. Please.
Ok...this literally made me laugh out loud!!! It's SO true! Why is he still bald?!?! And the pace of the show is SO slow. I will have to say that my DS and I both really like the books (good length), so I can't totally hate on him!
I also cannot stand this show. I used to watch it 5 days a week with a 6 year old autistic boy as part of my job. And I had to actually WATCH it with him due to the nature of the job. I would rather watch Barney.
I am glad you feel this way, because I still feed LO purees on pretty much a daily basis, in order to make sure he gets his fruits and veggies in. I give him solid veggies as well, but for the most part he just throws them on the ground. I can't say that I blame him, because I also think a lot of veggies taste like crap. He probably wonders why I have disgusting green things on the same tray as his delicious cheese and pasta.....
Who needs a sign? Isn't that what pepper spray is for?
If somehow the world as we knew it ended, I don't think I'd be too brokenhearted.
I would definitely miss you, though!
I completely agree with this. I went & read the pouch thread on SAHM's board and could not take the one poster seriously after she said it was okay to give a kid a smoothie, but she would side eye giving a child a pouch. What is the difference? I seriously cannot believe there is this big of a debate about pouches on two different boards now. Kids are eating fruit, leave it be. I think Shmogan said it best on another thread when she said that we are all mom's that have rough, busy days. Why would this be your hill to die on?? Why would you judge a Mom you see at a grocery store for letting her child eat a pouch? It is so ridiculous. The amount of judging that goes on is sad, really. Those kids are eating a healthy snack. Who is to say that they don't go home and eat whole fruits and vegetables as well? The table manners and the learning to use utensils argument is silly to me as well. There are many other meals to work on both of those things. I think most people use these pouches in moderation. And if they don't - why should it bother anyone else? If those pouches were the only way to get my kid to eat fruit and veggies, I'd let her have them everyday. I seriously just cannot believe this is even an argument.
You know I love you all....even so, I sort of miss the anonymity that the board gave me when we all started.
99% of the time I love having people "know me" but that other 1% I sort of hate it...
The Puppy Bowl is the best thing ever.
classic pooh > disney pooh
Is there something you would like to say for which you do not want to be held accountable? now I'm intrigued!
But they're such good books!!
It sounds like you just don't like the look of them and most likely haven't cracked the cover, so I'm not going to defend how the stories have more moral and substance to them and provide a better message to children, because your dislike is purely visual, right? Right??
Don't judge a book by it's cover!
