I hate purses and refuse to carry one.

Me too! I have three that sit in my closet collecting dust. Well, the Louis V has a dust cover *eye roll* so I guess only two actually collect dust. I finally carried a purse when I had to go to court and wore a skirt without pockets. Yuck! Double whammy!

I think belly button piercings are trashy looking. When I see them, I think stripper.

I said it last week and I'll say it again this week, or at least a variation of it. I think many pregnant woman take the whole "I'm pregnant and emotional" a bit too far. The world doesn't revolve around you because you're pregnant and you shouldn't get to be a raging bitch to people for 9 months and think it's okay since you're so hormonal and emotional.

nonoemily · April 2014

I love my handbag, and I will never carry a diaper bag.

When I see French tipped fake nails, I think stripper.

lisaren · April 2014

I am not a fan of diaper bags.

I like my underwear to match my bra.

Drives me bat shit crazy when moms talk super loud to their kids walking through the store...
"Mary, mommy is buying carrots for our yummy salad and then we are going to pick up daddy's suits at the cleaners" and said child is like 2 months old.
It screams "I'm needy!!! And I want everyone to know"

Also kids who are car seat police on Fb. Stop. The law is 1 years old. It's recommended to ff at 2 yrs old. It's not a law yet. Stop posting on Fb about how you're the worst mother if you ff at one years old.

I've always talked to DD while I'm shopping. The nurses an doctors told me to talk to her so her learns words faster *shrugs* however, I do it at a reasonable volumn and only do she can hear me.

I agree with @jaminjeff‌. Obviously we are all going to have our moments but being pregnant is no excuse to be a raging bitch. I once had a customer take being pregnant to an extreme. Every time she called her husband would call afterwards to apologize and undue any plans she made. She was a beast.

My UO is lame. I like pads over tampons. It's all I could think of.

Pretty much anything on FB that is parenting related screams to me "I think I'm a better parent than you because I do it THIS way."

Me too. I dont' see the benefit in turning them FF before it is as safe as possible

nonoemily · April 2014

A friend of mine posted a picture of his baby niece yesterday and my first thought was-- that chest clip is too low!! My second thought was-- you are spending too much time on TB if you notice things like that

jessa1228 · April 2014

Pregnancy-related: I judge women who choose to find out the sex of the baby before the a/s. I get that it's their money, their choice, if they want to have an elective u/s or do the Panorama test or whatever specifically just to find out the sex then that's up to them, but I'm still going to think you're just being impatient and I'm still going to judge you for it.

mockingjay1 · April 2014

I hate blunt bangs like this:

I don't think there is one single person I have ever met in real life or seen on tv that looks better with blunt bangs than without. I don't know why I find them so unattractive, but yuck!

ProcessofBecoming · April 2014

I don't mind tattoos, though I would not get one myself, but I'm not a big fan of the "tramp stamp." One of my closest friends went through a midlife crisis at 36, and got this enormous tramp stamp that looks like deer antlers. Literally. I think it was supposed to be some sort of tribal thing, but it ended up looking like a very convoluted set of deer antlers. She was all "What do you think?" and my first thought was "Why in the hell would you do that to yourself!?!" But it wouldn't do any good to tell her the deer-antler-ish truth as it was permanent, so I lied and said it looked nice.

By the way, she hates that tattoo now. I can't blame her.

Also, I'm not a big fan of underwear. Stopped wearing them in my late 20s (except when AF visits or now when I'm chock full of Crinone every day) and never looked back. Commando is awesome. Let the lady parts be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

missnacholover · April 2014

Also FB related. I think some people post WAY too many pictures of their kids. Like, I don't need a daily photo of your child eating her breakfast. Some people document their child's life way too much.

Pretty much everything about FB annoys me, but I just can't quit it, haha.

lisaren · April 2014

I ff at 1 yr old all my children, but especially the youngest because she is so attached to me and would scream to the point of passing out if she could not see me. She was a little obsessed.

My special needs daughter has a special seat and can only be used ff.

nonoemily · April 2014

Everything on fbook annoys me, so I'm here on TB where I don't have to care anymore.

lisaren · April 2014

I'm creeped out by naked kids pictures. Dude, way to any weirdos. Hell no.

I will not even post bikini pics of my daughter.
This fear is mostly blamed on years of working with sexual predators.

NunyaBennis · April 2014

We refuse to FB. Want no part of it, directly or indirectly. Drives me NUTS when people tell me they saw a pic of us on FB. Grrr...

I judge people who put their babies/ toddlers in bikinis. Not b/c I think it's inappropriate but b/c they have such sensitive skin, cover that baby up!

Shit, I judge because I think it's inappropriate.

I am very, very close to doing a ban of all baby pics on FB. I am going to severely limit photos I post and I'm pretty sure I'm going to request that Aunts/Uncles/grandparents do not post any photos. I will tag them in pics I think are OK, but really, I don't want a bunch of pics of my kid out there.

icaughtfire · April 2014

We turned DD forward at one because that was the recommendation at the time..we'll keep this one RF until 2 or whatever the recommendation is at that time. If you turn your kid before 2, that's on you. I do judge the shit out of parents that don't install or use the seats properly. I'm also over protective when it comes to my own kid's safety..she'll be 5 in June & I still have her in a 5 point harness. My husband teases me to no end, and thinks that we should just put her in a seatbelt but I feel she's safer the way she is.

abbyful · April 2014

I absolutely hate baby-talk. I talk to DS like a regular person. For example, "do you want an apple?", not "wanty apple-wapple?"

Here in Ohio kids need to be in a booster until they turn 8 or 4'9", what state are you in? I just find it fascinating that state by state there's still such a wide difference when you'd think they'd all be similar.

lisaren · April 2014

My daughters torso is so long that if she wears one pieces it goes up her butt or her vag. We do tankinis. Even then she lifts her arms and it goes up. I'm tall 5'9 and H is 6'3. She is super tall for 5 yrs old already.

I'm in FL, the law requires a seat of some kind (car seat, HB booster or LB booster, whatever they fit in based on weight/height) until 5. I know the law isn't strictly enforced.

abbyful · April 2014

On car seats, I'm all in favor of keeping them rear-facing as long as possible.

But then I also think some people way overdo keeping kids in harnesses and boosters. I've seen on some car seat forums people having 12-13 year old kids (not special needs kids) still in high-back boosters. Um, yeah, I was in the driver's seat at 14 (yes legally, I had a farm permit that allowed me to drive to school, work, and farm errands), and these kids are still in car seats! Some of the criteria lists for when kids can stop using boosters, *I* don't even meet all the criteria for and I'm turning 31 this month! I think it's a bit overkill. Special needs kids excluded from this judgement.

lisaren · April 2014

My old boss had her son who was 12 in a high back booster and he was tall. She dropped him off In middle school like this. It was very strange.

hahaha yeah I think I totally rocked them pre-weight gain

krgriffin26 · April 2014

My UO is that I can't stand pictures of sleeping kids. Babies and toddlers are adorbs when sleeping but not so much at 8. This is mostly because I have a friend that posts pictures of her 8 year old sleeping almost every day. And she has been doing it for years. I really think of all the pics she posts they are 75% sleeping, 10% actually doing something and 15% of him sitting somewhere random and not even looking at the camera.

CTri17 · April 2014

I think that having a small glass of wine or beer every so often during pregnancy is fine.

https://news.discovery.com/human/alcohol-drinking-pregnant-women.html

I certainly don't condone drinking a ton or even a glass every night. But sharing a glass every once in a while with your SO or a friend is NBD after reading the studies IMO.

My midwife told me to go have a glass of wine for birthday to relax and I tried so hard to enjoy but I couldn't. I got so use tot he alcohol removed wine that real stuff tasted so funny. I also agree that it is no big deal and sometimes it could help if you are super worked up.

Aww you are so pretty! I definitely like thinner bangs vs the really thick ones like Zooey Deschanel has which seem to be what is popular and what I keep seeing everywhere.

yep. I post about it on FB. because really some people just don't know. I have had friends say that they had no idea that it wasn't safe, and wouldn't have known if I hadn't posted articles.

And yes, I judge if you FF your 1 yo, there is no reason to rush that milestone and if people truly understood the dangers associated with FF , I would hope they would keep them RFing.

My 4yo just turned FF because she asked and at this point I know her cervical vertebrae are ossified and it is now safe for her to be FF.

If you know better you can do better.

AlwaysForgetful · April 2014

I judge those who turn their kids at 12 months "because the Dr. said I can". Yep. Ok. The Dr also once told me that there was nothing wrong with my eldest. Dr. can be wrong. My last was turned at 22 months because with our car seat fitting, she needed to go FF so #5 could be rear facing and my special needs son was not next to the other 2 boys. We have a new van now and #5 will RF till she is 2. #6 (this baby) will do the same.

I also judge those who put their kids into boosters sooner than they should. Here is a story about it. 4 year old dies because his booster allowed more movement than a 5 point and he had internal injuries. https://www.ktvu.com/news/news/local/childs-death-napa-crash-spurs-concern-over-car-sea/nfXrR/

^ happens more than you think! Or kids are injured when they would not have in a different seat. The joys of having a parent who is a safety engineer for an insurance company...

You can get 5 points that go to 65lbs for $100. So really, there is no excuse. Even having a minivan and "not having the room for them" is no excuse. I have 5 kids in 5 point harnesses (oldest is 33lbs. at 6 years and #3 is 53lbs at 4years old). No, I will not have them in those forever. There is a time when it is what is really best for their size/weight and a time when it is just a parent being crazy. No one is ready to be bumped up yet.

Although my special needs 6 year old may stay in one longer than most. And yes, the car seat tech recommended he stay in one due to his size. Age is not always the determining factor.

I made it very very clear to family that there would be no pictures of dd on facebook. SIL a couple of times even after I said no. I finally told her she wasn't allowed to take pics off dd. just because you choose to post every detail of your life doesnt mean I want mine posted for all your weirdo friends.

I do the same thing; I've always kept up a pretty steady "conversation" with my kids whenever we're doing anything. Now that the older two can respond, the conversations are definitely more interesting, but I talk to the little one when it's just the two of us as well. I keep it to a reasonable volume but I'm sure it sounds/looks strange to other people especially when I interpret her noises as actual responses.
