What?!? No one started this yet? But... I need entertainment.
Thankfully @SkyAngelMommy‌ came to the rescue.
But seriously... Let's have 'em.

    I hate when parents take sick kids to play areas, story time etc. It makes me angry.

    My kid got Hand, Food and Mouth because of this!

    Thankfully, it was mild but still frustrating!

    My kid and I both got HFM because someone brought their sick kid to daycare. This was right before we got pregnant and I'm so glad I wasn't pregnant that cycle because i would have flipped the fuck out. Poor DD was super sick for over a week. Then all her nails and toenails fell off. Awful.

    This is more of an ffc but I am excited for h to leave his job to go to grad school, even though that means I have to be the breadwinner. He is better at the household stuff than me anyway.

    I think the "everybody gets a trophy" thing has turned our kids into self entitled assholes.
    I'd say the same about most of my peers. I do think it's continued to get worse, though and I dread what the workforce will look like in another 10-20 years.
    ____________________ I'm seeing it in the high school already. One of my students' plans for the workforce is to "find a loophole wherein I don't have to do anything, but get paid for it."
    Ugh. I deal with this so much.  There is so much apathy, yet they truly think they're still going to end up at prestigious universities and/or with high paying careers.

    I hate when dog owners let their dogs lick their face and/or their mouths. Grosses me out!! Dogs eat poop and lick their privates and you're going to let them lick your face?? Ewwwww!!!

    Omg a fb friend of mine has her profile pic of her dog licking all over her face and her mouth is open. What you choose to do with your private time is up to you....but I don't need to see that!!! I get it...you love your dog...

    I think people who don't even attempt basic DIY in their homes are just lazy.  Any yahoo can pull out old carpet or put in some weather stripping.  Of course this is coming from the person who ripped out lino (which anyone could also do) when 7 months pregnant.
    I did have to get someone else to rip out about 2 sq ft cause I couldn't fit in a corner with a cubby hole....though I did try.
    But if they don't have the time and they have the money, isn't it ok to hire someone? (Asks the girl who gutted and remodeled her entire house with just h)
    Depends on the job.  Weather stripping = 15-20 min so that would make me side eye anyone.
    Also the demo portion is way easier than the replace part...that's where I find the worst time crunch is.  The demo can be almost fun (task dependent).
    I don't even know what weather stripping is, so it doesn't matter how easy it is, I don't know what you're talking about. :)

    We do try to do many of our own projects, but some we just don't trust ourselves with.  I did recently buy a bunch of tools to replace the caulk in my tub/shower... at some point I might get to that.

    I let people touch my bump. Not strangers, but coworkers, friends and family. I don't have a problem with it. I thought I would but I don't. But I completely understand if other Moms don't like it.

    #AmIweird  

    Yes - but I don't like people touching me, so I'm biased :)  It takes everything in me to hold still if a friend wants to rub the belly.  #souncomfortable

    I wouldn't say I "let" my dog lick my face, but she definitely gets me sometimes. I definitely make sure my mouth stays closed when she is in my face because she likes to try tongue to tongue. Weirdo.

    @lizardbreath14 - I have a rat terrier too! She's more into feet though. She will literally sit at your feet and lick them incessantly. I cannot stand it!

    I feel that if you're in a secure relationship, you shouldn't have to post on FB that you're so happy everyday. I also feel that relationships do better when everyone doesn't know your business. I had a friend post on FB a note that her husband wrote her that morning that said "You were great last night". Gag. I don't need to know what about my friends.

    I don't know if this is more UO or FFFC, but I really, really hope my son has no interest in playing sports.  I love sports and I hope he enjoys watching them, but I don't think I can handle watching my kid get pummeled/tackled/checked on a regular basis.  Here's hoping he takes after his father and wants to be in marching band instead!

    I think forcing kids to share is stupid. People have to wait their turn sometime. Making a kid give up their toy or whatever right away because another kid wants it just reinforces that you can get what you want, when you want.

    While I think learning to share is important too, I do agree with you. I think that's what learning to take turns is all about; it's a compromise.

    It's definitely important for kids to learn to take turns and compromise. I more mean when Sally finds a ball to play with and Jane sees it and wants it, so Sally is forced to give up the ball. Jane learns patience and Sally learns that it's nice to let someone have a turn when you're done.

    Same here! Not afraid to say it, either! Also I think sports take up way too much of a kid's life these days.  Obviously if he wants to play sports, I will support him, but I'm soooo hoping he just wants to play the piano & sing like his momma. ;)


    This, and not necessarily just sports, but all extracurricular activities.  So I guess my UO is that I think it's dumb to have your kid involved in so much stuff that they literally never just have free time.  Yes, being part of a team, honoring commitments, etc are all valid lessons for kids to learn, but FFS they need time to just be a kid too.

    This would be a FFFC end of the argument, but I want my free time too, which isn't something you get the luxury of when you're running your kids from one practice/game/class/etc to another.  I would do it if I thought it's what was best for my kids, but for the sanity of every person in the family, I think it's best to limit activities.




    When I was in high school, it was understood that we were expected to have 4 hours of homework each night. It was also expected that we needed to be apart of a club or sport. I never understood this. How is this possible?? I don't understand why school had to basically be your life. How can it not? With homework, sports, clubs?

    Stuck in the box....

    I am so guilty of trying to be the super parent and have my dd's schedule full of activities. Didn't help that her father (separated) did the same on his time. After awhile became obvious that DD was overwhelmed and we were spending most of our time running from one activity to the next. So gave her the option to drop out of some stuff, and she did. I think she is still in too many activities, but its hard when its a split household. Dad is going to do what he wishes with his time. So she gets the option of not going to said activities on my weeks. May make me look like a deadbeat mom when dad is the only one taking her to certain activities, but she really appreciates the free time. So any judgy people can just suck it.

    Seriously!  I didn't actually have too much homework in high school (because my school dumbed down the classes so that everyone passed...way to promote mediocrity), but I had an after school job.  Then in college, I always had at least 18 hours of class, with hours of homework, plus I worked anywhere from 20-30 hours per week.  When I was graduating and looking for a full time job, I had so many people ask me if I thought I'd be able to handle working full-time.  Um...you mean I ONLY have to work 40 hours a week, then I get to come home and have absolutely nothing else to do??  Yeah...that's like a vacation for me.  It's ridiculous that kids & teens are expected to have 60+ hours of school/work/activities...

    I think people try and structure a child's life wayyy to early on. I'm talking about those that insist on trying to teach their 6month old to count or to 'know' things. Children need to play and to explore. That is how they learn!
    DS has nothing but free play when I was on mat leave and still does.
    There will be plenty of time for activities when he is older (and we need to give him additional outlets for all his energy) but that time isn't now
