pisses me off!

Re: pisses me off!

  • Eh I don't know all the factors so I'm not judging. 

    I took DS and myself to breakfast this week, it was in the 50's, we got to the Waffle House and he dumped his drink all over him. I had to go to Walmart to pick up a few things for him. In fact the only reason we left the house that day was to go to the store. 

    Out in the van I was using my spare clothes and he outgrew the pants. I was in a tank top and capris.  So he went in WM in a wifebeater and a diaper... 

    Then we went home. It's nbd. If there was snow on the ground then yes I'd side eye a little, but even then DS never wore coats and never wore shoes. 
    He was in a onesie and I threw a blanket over him. 

    Mmmm Waffle House

  • You'd judge the crap out of me.  DD wouldn't keep socks/shoes on for a very long time (still doesn't).  When she was an infant, I even tried to tape her socks around the ankles (like in soccer) to keep them on, and she defeated it.  If she wasn't in a footie sleep 'n play (which people also judge) she was usually barefoot.  We put a blanket over her in the carseat, and she was fine. 

    I have a picture from last December (14 months) where it had just started to snow when we got out of the car.  It's a 15 foot walk from the car to the door, and DD had no shoes or socks on, and only a light fleece, for the reasons Rondack mentioned.  We took a pic because it was her first snow of the season and when we posted it on FB, MIL freaked out.  Seriously, DD was fine.

    Oh god, this is better than the weather one.
    OP, every single post you make makes no sense. Please go back to school and learn how to write.

    I have noticed that you are always the one who gets so confused by my posts! Instead of telling me I need more education I suggest looking at the amount of replys on this post of non-confusion. Than look at yourself for an indication. :)
  • I'm not super popular around here, not is my opinion...but I see what you're saying. Only you know what it FEELS like where you are, not just what the temperature is.

    And for the record I've never been confused by anything you've written. Sometimes it takes me a minute (maybe you're typing too fast or something) but it's not like you're speaking a foreign language.

  • I'm going to say this again, in hopes someone notices it and it registers with someone.

    Costs in car seats are not safe. Not at all. The puffy warm coat will compress in an accident and baby will come out of the car seat.

    It's far better to be judged for not having a coat for the quick walk from car to store than to risk the safety of your baby. You're going to be judged for something, anyway.

    If this is particularly directed at me rather than a psa where is it coming from? Where did I say To stuff kids in carseats with huge puffy coats on?
  • Also to everyone this post is indeed judgy. It's the way I feel on this subject as some agree and some don't.
    The feed back is not taken offensively at all. It was expected but, regardless what I saw yesterday upset me and I do not feel bad for letting it out. I refuse to belive every single one of you on here has never judged someone though so this is nbd to you well maybe your thing is nbd to me :)

    I may be the only one who says it, but I guarantee you that others are confused by your posts.
    Try reading it without the context that you, of course, know what you're talking about. You come off as an idiot who needs to learn how to write proper sentences. I'm sure you're not, but that's what you're putting out there with your words.

    And don't for a second blame mobile bumping... I, too, am mobile most of the time and manage to make sense with everything I write.

    Point out the exact idiocracy of my sentence! Also I am sure if my post were that difficult to understand, plenty of these other women would call me on it.
  • I'm often confused by your posts. The sentences aren't well constructed, there are frequent grammar errors, and it seems like you often have extra/missing/incorrect words. There are random capitalizations and plenty of words that aren't really words at all, as well as phrases that seem like they are half of a thought.

    Actually, most of them seem to be disagreeing with the content of your post.

    @rondackhiker said it much nicer than I can. Perhaps fewer of your posts would cause an uproar like this if they were written in proper English?

    The only thing I can think is the fact that the phone I bump with is an old pantech. Older technology. On my side I actively attempt at grammer and paragraphes but when I post it, it runs together in one big blob...
    There isn't anything else I can do at this time. I will just be known and bad grammar/run on blob sentence lady I spose.

    I think they disagree with my post because they don't feel the same way about this particular subject.

    From a mom of many.....I can see where you are coming from. I used to be like that with my first. I bundled him up at a slight chill, made sure he was warm, etc. until one day I over bundled an d he became over heated. That was a scary day. Then, he got old enough to start pulling socks and even laced shoes off. He would chuck them at my head in the car. I couldn't keep shoes on that boy for the life of me. So, from the car to where ever we were going, more often than not, he had a sweater on with no socks. So did each subsequent child. They take them off. It happens. At one point every child will do so, and unless you sew them to their feet, you can't do much about it. The parents who dress their kid in shorts during a snow storm, yes, judge away. But no shoes, socks, or coat from the car to a warm building??? That's a little extreme. I'm a good mom. My kids will tell you I'm a great mom, but don't believe them. They are biased. I've been judged. You know what? You will be too.

    I stated where I saw these kids and it wasn't a car to store situation :)

    Yes, because that will back up your case that you're not an idiot who can't write anything properly. Good job.
    And if you're comfortable with your phone, perhaps you should type on it correctly. Or be ready for this to happen more often.

    I'm here to get to know some MOTHERS too. On a message board, your words are all you have. No one can read your context or tone unless you're clear about them in your words. Stating that your words make you sound uneducated? Just a fact. If you plan on staying around, get used to it.

    I let the almost 2 yr old girl we watch sometimes play out side in the rain with the dogs and she gets SOAKED. When she's done I bring her in, change her clothes, and all of her stuff goes in the dryer. I'm going to be a terrible mother. ETA- horrible grammar needed to be fixed.

    There isn't anything else I can do at this time. I will just be known and bad grammar/run on blob sentence lady I spose.
    Perhaps if you know your posts are going to look like that, you could wait until you are at a computer to do your bumping. Many women here do just that.
    Also...
    Grammar
    Paragraphs
    Suppose
    I am comfortable with my phone. I am not going to the library to bump when I have internet on my phone.
    Also spelled it spose on purpose :)
    Yes, because that will back up your case that you're not an idiot who can't write anything properly. Good job.
    And if you're comfortable with your phone, perhaps you should type on it correctly. Or be ready for this to happen more often.
    Whatever man I am here to post with some mas not worry about the grammar police. (mas is a shortened version of mothers)
    I'm here to get to know some MOTHERS too. On a message board, your words are all you have. No one can read your context or tone unless you're clear about them in your words. Stating that your words make you sound uneducated? Just a fact. If you plan on staying around, get used to it.
    Duz mi speling and paragirafs boter u?????? ha!
    It certainly makes me come to certain conclusions about you.

  • despite all the other stuff going on on this thread, it was actually kind of enlightening for me as far as how to dress a baby.

    My mom was always the super careful mom...I wasn't allowed to touch certain stuff like the toys in the pediatrician waiting room, never used the "dirty" high chair they give you in restaurants, etc. with that, came overdressing. I live in southern california...to us 50 something degree weather is considered pretty cold (when i lived in atlanta for a short time i just about died during their winter lol) but at the slightest hint of cold, she would always keep us kids bundled up in multiple layers and i've watched her do the same as shes grandmothered my nieces and nephews.

    between being raised this way and seeing her help raise my nieces and nephews this way, i kinda figured its best so i would do it too. Ive been terrified of underdressing LO since she'll be born in the "colder" months and having her get sick as a result...but from what im reading, you ladies with kids have dressed them in less than i thought i would need and they werent getting sick (im sure they've gotten sick, but not because of their clothing)

    my question though, is this also how you ladies were dressing your newborns? or are you talking about children that were a bit older and could better regulate their own body temps?
  • Personally, I don't care about anyones grammar or language construction. This is not a 5th grade exercise for me. I think people need to be respectful that not everyone comes from an English speaking background so may not be very clear and always correct. I'm not really saying that about anyone in particular, this is just my general opinion. So calling out language is a little unwarranted for me (just in my opinion)

    Secondly, If I disagree with your opinion I will say so and it should not be a big deal. That's why we post to see what others think or feel. I honestly have no kids so no idea if that would piss me off or not so really can't say. But I understand where you maybe coming from even though I may not full agree but I hear you and can only say perhaps you can be more open and see why people may have a different perspective?

    The general rule is one extra layer of clothing. So if you're comfy in a t-shirt, a heavier t-shirt or light long sleeve shirt may work.

    But that also depends on the baby. Many babies tend to be little heat factories and being in a onsie and a sleeper and a fleece and a car seat with a blanket is just too hot.

    Think about the whole trip. So it's fifty walking to the car. What is it in the store? Don't leave poor baby in all those layers in the car or the store. He's going to melt!

    It's usually easy to check the temperature of a baby by sliding a finger inside their outfit, against their torso. Babies will also get fussy if they're too hot or cold. Most of the time your little one will likely be fine in a long sleeve onsie and pants, though you'll learn what works for you.

    And I hope you'll let the kid splash in puddles, even on days you're freezing and think the kid is nuts for enjoying it.
