What really grinds my gears...

1. I HATE people who chew gum with their mouth open. It is the most disgusting habit and looks very trashy.
2. Leggings are not pants. If your shirt doesn't cover your butt then put on some pants...please!
3. Child leashes. Self explanatory.
Anyone else want to share? I need some entertainment for my lazy Sunday.

Re: What really grinds my gears...
I know someone like this and I cringe waiting for the chuckle I've come to expect. Makes me wanna smack em.
Hard to explain, but I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about.
You clearly wouldn't "do anything" for your kid if you'd rather blow all your money going out partying five nights a week despite constantly being behind on your rent and complaining that you live in a dangerous neighborhood. But okay, let's talk about how you're planning on buying your two year old an iPad for Christmas.
Head--> desk
My husband has that issue too, that's why he hates gum.
My BIL is possibly the noisiest eater ever. Can't drink something without slurping, and he actually makes "om nom" type noises while biting into things. Then he chews with his mouth open and smacks his lips. I refuse to sit next to him at the dinner table.
Edit: those are the only two who I can a)spell and b) think of.. I don't hate all FTM's.
*blushes* I try...
I teach first grade and I make sure my students say library....I tell them it's not a type of berry...
I'm a bitch haha
Clearly my amount of rambling demonstrates how much this drives me crazy.
Also different topic:
I plan on cloth diapering at home on weekends (my daycare will not use them). I absolutely hate when people say its disgusting. Maybe after youve done research and can give a valid reason I'd be more apt to listen. Either way it's a sack of poop to me so why not make it healthier for my kids bum and my wallet.
Everybody knows the kid's name...ok! Drives me nuts.

Haha I'm happy I'm not the only one.
Also, I'm incredibly impressed at your ability to create those mind numbing sentences.
Well, I like my kid, probably more than you like your dog (gasp!) and I don't want her to get hit by a car. She's really short and doesn't understand long term consequences of decisions like chasing a ball across the street. Or that if she runs away from me in a shopping mall she could get picked up by some creeper and spend the next 10 years living in his basement/dungeon. And she thinks her leash is a monkey who loves to hug her from behind. (We have the backback kind) And he carries her sippy! Sweet! All kinds of win. I literally see no downside whatsoever.
Id like to agree about the over the top fb posts to the spouse. I have someone in my life whose husband contantly writes these way over the top love notes. (Part of me thinks she hacks into his fb account to post or some how forces him to do it)
When did a fb post become romantic? Write that stuff in a card and give it to her. If it was only once in awhile on a birthday or something like that then i get it, but not something that is everday, week, month. Showing people on fb how much you love your spouse makes me give you the side eye. It doesnt seem authentic...and gives them inpression they are over compensating for something.
I hate when guys say they're babysitting their own kid. One guy I know was complaining his gf was going somewhere, so he had to babysit. Um, it's not babysitting when it's your kid. That's called parenting.
Both of these annoy me to NO end.
I went to a new doctor earlier this year and while going through my medical history he asked what I do for a living. I told him I am a stay at home mom, to which he replied, "So you're unemployed." Um, NO, jerk. "Unemployed" indicates that I want to work, but can't find a job. I am a stay at home mom by choice, thank you very much!
I think any drama for moms that work or stay home is obnoxious. I got on a friends case, he was trying to give me kudos for staying home. Which I appreciate but was then putting down working moms. I had to explain that my staying home was in no way a put down for working moms. And how easy it must be a for a single, childless, man to judge a woman for choosing to work or not. Gets on my freaking nerves!
And yes, I told that to the young teenage punk who loudly judged me in the mall for using a leash on my child.
And most things "grinds my gears" these days. I'm so irritable lol :-w

It sometimes feels like "Damned if you do, damned if you don't", when it comes to working/staying home. I've heard so many snide comments from both sides of the spectrum. I've heard women who stay home make comments along the line like "well she HAS to work", like, husbands not doing a suitable job providing....so shes looked at with pity. Or if its the case where a woman chooses to work, because she feels rewarded by her career, suddenly she's selfish, not sacrificing enough for her family. BS.
Or on the other side when a woman stays home it's the "oh so you don't work"...um, actually yes, I do work, and its the HARDEST job I've ever had. Its 24/7 and demanding and thankless and payless, but its also equally rewarding and the best decision our family ever made.
Oh motherhood in the 21st century.
