There is a deaf boy that goes to DDs kiddie gym place. Usually our nanny takes her, but I don't work on Fridays, so I took her to open play one week. He was there with his nanny, who totally paid no attention to him (was listening to her iPod the whole time, ignoring him running like a crazy person, jumping on/into other smaller kids, etc). He doesn't speak (he does have hearing aids and she was talking to him) and is totally wild, and she just ignored him the whole time. My nanny met another nanny at the gym who had a playdate with this boy at his house-and said the nanny totally ignored the kid (and her) the entire time there too. You can just tell she is someone who does it for the money and really doesn't care about him. I judge his parents for not making sure he has someone who can not only handle him, but also help him with his special needs.
Has anyone told the parents? They may not know she's like this.
This. Did any of you guys see the nannycam video of the nanny hitting and throwing a ball at a 10month old baby? The parents had no idea until they installed a nannycam and caught her on film doing it. I hope the boy's parents don't know she's like that...This really upsets me.
I've never seen the parents unfortunately-me and my big mouth (my nanny too) would totally say something if we saw them!
This is really upsetting to me That nanny should be helping him interact with his peers and incorporating ASL in playtime so he can communicate. I pray you run into the parents and your big mouth does it's job

Exactly-he had hearing aids, so I assume her hears somewhat, but didn't say anything really that was intelligible (he looked about 4)-I would have thought she'd at least know ASL to sign and say the word at the same time. It bugs me when people don't do their homework about who is caring for their child. Maybe someone who knows ASL and has worked with SN kids is more expensive, but to me, I'd do whatever I could to make sure my kid had the best chance possible. And I know money isn't endless for people, but this is a kid who goes to not cheap kiddie gym, has a nanny and lives in a nice area.

I just my girlfriend who was just laid off for the 5th time in as many years, can't pay her mortgage in Chicago but decided to rent her place and move to Brooklyn where she can't pay her rent and recently took a "long weekend" in LA . . . for nine days.

Her excuse was that she had miles she needed to use and she was going to stay with friends.

Every update she posted on Facebook told us she was somewhere like The Ivy. Hmmm. I wonder why she's broke.

OMG yes!!! I saw a woman the other day wearing crazyass heels and she could not walk in them. She looked like a fawn learning to walk, seriously at that point it goes from being sexy to being stupid.
I am all for hot heels, but you have to be able to work them!

But how do you know she isn't trained in ASL and had qualifications to work with him but is just lazy? She may be great when the parents are around but figures she can take him places and dump him off.

I am judging a co-worker today who told me that they turned their 8 month old to forward facing because he was scrunched up. I didn't say anything to him, so I am judging myself too.

I am also judging the nasty lady at the park who was yelling at her kids the entire time they were trying to play on the equipment. What a way to make something that should be fun totally unpleasant for your kids and everyone around you.

You're right, I don't for sure, I just highly doubt it. Plus, she looked totally overwhelmed when she was bothering to deal with him, not like someone who was trained to work with kids with SN like him.

I'm judging the moms at our baby story time class. Every time there is a birthday or holiday they bring in treats for all of the children. Each time they are big sugary cookies or candy. Yesterday a lady handed out 4" shamrock sugar cookies. Look, I am cool with treats to celebrate events but this is a class for kids under 2...and it'a at 9:30am. Bring some stickers, bagels or even a muffin...not a huge azz sugar cookie.

I judge my MIL for not providing MH with the fun traditions that coincide with nonreligious and Christian holidays. He was raised Catholic so they celebrated Christmas, Easter, etc.. and then of course nonreligious holidays like Halloween. He just told me the other day that before meeting me, he had never died eggs or carved a pumpkin! His parents basically put away their x-mas tree already decorated so they could take it out again the following year. The poor guy enjoyed none of these traditions as a child! Today he craves holiday traditions like no other grown man I know. I could go on for days about the many, many, many ways I judge MIL, but I'll leave at that for today. She sucks!

The only part of the holidays we do practice in our home are the little traditions, like carving pumpkins, dying eggs, decorating the tree, etc. Those are the aspects we both enjoyed growing up and want to continue with our girls.

A side note:

My neighbor boy is deaf. He is two, he is so frickin' smart. He has an Ipad with some special app on it to help him communicate and he uses sign language. Audrey plays with his older sister and she is picking up some sign language too. He goes to a special school everyday, I'm sure this has given him a great advantage.

I think that's awesome! I allow N to watch a signing show, but I tend to forget DH's aunt is deaf. I spoke to her daughter, and I think we're going to arrange skype time with the aunt, so N can actually learn hands on from a hearing impaired person. I am over the rainbow excited to start this.

They were always my favorite!! Red was my favorite character on Fraggle Rock. Can you believe DH never saw a single episode! He was a deprived child.

I love Sesame Street, but Jim Henson was a genius.

Barkley is freaking awesome, but I come from the Mr. Hooper Sesame Street time period and remember when he died.

I hate baby bear.

My Sesame Street Favorites:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhbsb_tkGL0 - Sing a Song

This is a classic (sorry if someone already posted) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TjX5r37V0Q - What's the name of that song

All time favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYXJlfcfFKU - We all sing in the same voice. I can watch this over and over.

Judgment: I judge when parents have kids that may have ADD, autism, behavioral issues and don't try things like eliminating preservatives or food dye from products. I by far do not believe it's a "cure", but from what I've seen it may have some kind of effect on making things worse. Just try it. It's not good for them. I also don't understand why products have things like food dye in them. I try to be as vigilant as possible to not buy things that have dye in them.

I think it depends on the purse...my raggy target special from 1999, sure. My Louie V clutch fluck no. 

Its not so much the putting them on the ground, but more the putting them on counters or dinning room tables after being on the ground. I saw a really gross documentary about the transfer of fecal matter this way and I have been grossed out ever since!

As a microbiologist I concur with all of this. There are poop bacteria everywhere including on your toothbrush and your purse. However, I will not bring food or drink into the bathroom. That is just too much for me even though I know my toothbrush is already contaminated.

What if I close the lid before I flush? That helps, right?

Fair enough. I think DH closes it, too, but I can't count on any of our nast-b'ghast guests.

I'd move them to the medicine cabinet but I leave that open all the time because I have a hard time with the latch (apparently I'm a four year old).

Along these lines, I have a friend who posts her to do list for the day/week and how much she has already accomplished and how stressed out she is about it all the time. It drives me crazy. There have been several times that I've typed a comment to her status and then deleted it.

I've taken the liberty of hiding a lot of people lately, because I am really starting to find I don't like people as much as I thought I did based on their ridiculous Facebook posts. I basically have Oct 2011 ladies and about a dozen others I can view on my feed.

I remember that episode of Mythbusters! It was pretty funny as they all are. If one was to keep the toilet lid down prior to flushing it should decrease the number of poop bacteria being aerosolized thus cutting down the number in the bathroom over time. However, there is no way you will ever be rid of them completely. They will always haunt your toothbrush and all of the other surfaces.

Not exactly. Don't you watch mythbusters? The amount of fecal matter on a bathroom stored toothbrush isn't much more than one stored in the kitchen and is pretty much a fact of life.

This purse thing is making me nuts. Putting your purse on the floor in the bathroom is basically inviting poop to travel along as a constant companion as you go through your day.
