I'm so boring with my u/o's, loI....i love snow. I know that 2-3" paralyzes the area I live in (we got 4" tues and since we didn't know it was coming, none of the roads were treated and it was a hot mess) but I love snow and wish we'd have another "blizzard" like we did in 93.

I really hate those FB fake pregnancy announcements. Like, "We're expecting....................... Christmas/to close on our house" and stuff like that.

I can't stand that my stepson's mom called him her "poor little one" when referring to having to leave a hockey game early because he had a "tummy ache". The kid is f***ing 12!!!! He is your little man, little boy, little dude, etc. but to me "little one" = baby or toddler. She and I had lunch a couple weeks ago and she expressed frustration at the fact that he cries about everything... maybe because she still treats him like a frickin' toddler so he's going to act like one. He used to try that at our house. We'd look over at him on the couch and he'd be crying. Ask him what's wrong... "Nothing" "My tummy hurts" "I'm hungry".... If its 'nothing' why are you crying, stop. Tummy hurts/hungry, SAY SOMETHING!!! You know where the 7-up & Saltines are, you know where the food is, make a sandwich. He begged to go on a training run with me a couple weeks ago and 1.5 miles in he's sobbing 20 yards behind me and being a brat to the dog (that he wanted to bring too) because he wants to stop & pee... I grabbed the dog, let him pee & kept running telling SS to keep going, we were almost done.

I may be harsh but at 12 years old I guess I expect a different level of behavior than I would for DS at 13 months. I also never knew SS when he was a baby/toddler, I've only been in his life since he was 6 so I don't have the super-maternal, warm-fuzzies with him. He's my son, I love him as my son but he's 12!!! He can clean his room, remember to eat, put on clean clothes, shower, etc. without me making excuses just because his mom coddles him & then complains about the behaviors it encourages.

Where I live we keep getting these blizzards and its on average in the negative temps (granted its worse this year then most but large amount of snow and negative temps isn't abnormal) and I'm so sick of people posting pictures of the snow out their windows or the temperature reading from their car! Seriously people I live near you and I have windows in my house too!

Also it kinda goes a long with it but I'm seeing a lot of parents complain about due to a lot of school closings and we keep getting level 3 snow emergencies (which means only ER vehicles on the road or you can get a ticket so businesses close) that they're sick of spending so much time with their kids or how they could never be a SAHM because they need more brain stimulation. Seriously you're complaining about extra time with your kids! I'm going to close on that because my getting all worked up again! lol

I hate the Super Bowl...HATE IT!!!! I think it's just an overhyped football game that costs way too much and the only reason I watch is for the commercials and even then I can't believe that companies pay millions of dollars for 30-60 seconds. I used to watch half time but the acts they've had in the past few years do not interest me at all!! I mean come on....Bruno Mars...Really?!?

especially to the part about the 1/2 time acts....bleck!

I agree about wanting more snow. I know it affects a lot of people negatively, but I really like it! (Because it's never higher than a foot, I suppose).

My UO is that I don't think I have become a better teacher/educator because I've had a kid. I'm not any more sympathetic or nice to the children now that I've had my own- in fact, I feel like I was nicer before because I slept on the regular then! At least now I can play the 'I have a kid' card when parents want me to stfu after I offer my professional advice that is based on years of education and experience and not based on my physical ability to produce a child. :P

I hate Subway. The smell of its baking bread turns my stomach. I, too, hate the Super Bowl. I hate the commercials and the half-time show, too. I just don't get it. I super hate that the NFL tries to pass itself off as a "family" sport with the cheerleaders dressed like strippers (have you seen those "skirts") and the massive sex-trade, including child prostitutes, that goes along with the Super Bowl. I'd sooner burn my money that spend it to support the NFL, which, somehow, qualifies as a tax exempt entity.

I'm sure I did this with DS, but my gosh those moms who post on FB several times a day "OMG jr is so smart! I can't believe how advanced he is! He's only x months and can count to 1,000000000 and he can speak 50 languages!"
Ok so maybe I'm exaggerating, but still. I love seeing the pics, and the cute statuses about how their kids told the old lady she smells or something.

I love Bruno Mars.

I don't see what's so surprising about justin beibers latest issues. He is 19, spoiled, rich, famous..... It's expected. I also think it's effing ridiculous that now the government has to get involved because of a stupid petition to deport him. My gosh is that really so important?! Hello sex slaves, poverty, environment, GMOs.... What a waste of time.

jsoubel · January 2014

The Beibs! There are more important things immigration-wise than deporting the Beibs but if some regular old foreigner was charged with those things, they might be put into deportation proceedings. Beibs shouldn't get special treatment.

I hate the smell of subway but still eat it anyway.

I think Bruno Mars is great.

I don't want to dedicate government resources to it but I would find it very amusing if Bieber got deported. Canada can have him back. Or if we keep him can we send over an annoying American musician like Kanye West?

raraavis28 · February 2014

Before I had LOs I taught at an all-girls high-school....I'm sure there is way more chatter over there re: the Biebs drama than just about anywhere else..... well, among the upper class anyway....I guess the freshies are more into One Direction.... (they're almost as bad as the Chit Chat board

) )

I would trade Kanye for Justin Bieber any day of the week. And I am far from a Bieber fan.

I must say that I enjoy the One Direction song Story of my Life that is always on the radio. Hopefully that is what boy bands will sound like when my daughter is old enough to like boy bands.

I had no idea that was their song until yesterday! I was driving and the dj said it and I was like, huh?!
Love that song.
