    I totally favor cute children. For example, two very good friends of mine both have young kids that I see often. One has literally the cutest two kids I've EVER seen, and I adore them. When I'm around them, I want to just play with them and pick them up and hold them. My other friend's kid is not so cute, and I honestly don't really pay her much mind when I'm around. I show the bare minimum amount of interest just so I don't come off as rude in front of her parents. I'll be like "Oh, hiiiii (her name)" and smile at her then immediately divert my attention elsewhere. Isn't that just awful??

    This does kind of suck. DD is pretty cute (don't get me wrong, she has her really annoying moments too), but she was born with a cleft that involves her lip and nose. I barely notice it but always wonder if she will be teased or treated differently because of it. So hearing this isn't reassuring.

    Completely awful. I think it's even worse you fake nice to her and her parents when you see them.

    My office has casual Fridays where everyone donates $1 to charity for the privilege of dressing casual.  It's a different charity every month.  This month is the Food Bank, and we're meant to bring in canned goods instead of money.  I can never remember that, so I haven't donated anything this month at all, though I've been dressed down every Friday.  I have some cash, but no one wants it.

    My FFFC:  I can't wait to be done with my job!  Four(ish) weeks after today!

    (In my defense if we weren't moving and/or having a baby I would have started looking for a different job at the beginning of the year...)

    We are currently having a jeans day but I don't have any maternity jeans so I just dressed in more casual stuff and kept my money

    People can suck in that respect. I don't feel like anyone's immune from being made fun of. I doubt it's that noticeable to anyone! The picture you have she looks pretty darn cute to me! Also, Joaquin Phoenix...plenty of ladies think he's pretty damn sexy.

    Man, the UOs and FFFCs are bumming me out today. Mine is that I left off a meal from my expense report last night because I didn't want my boss and the PM to see that I had TWO double cheeseburger value meals in two days on this trip. I am the hamburgler.
    I would 100% expense that!

    Wednesday was my birthday and I made myself a funfetti cake. I've eaten more than half of it already. <:-P But I didn't frost it. I really don't like a lot of frostings out there. In fact, anytime I eat cake or cupcakes that does have frosting, I'm the one the scrapes it off and gives it to someone else (this is more of my fffc).

    I scrape off the frosting too! I can handle homemade buttercream but canned shit is nasty! My birthday was last Wednesday (the 17th).

    ADH0906 Hamburglar? And I understand about the pride. I've had one or two expense reports where I thought, I reallllly hope no one looks too closely at the food/drink patterns here.

    Oh everyone, please calm down! I just wanted to say something shocking to keep the thread interesting, and I suppose it worked. I certainly do not dislike this child at all, nor am I mean to her! I like her, she's cute, but yes I do prefer my other friend's children. They are cuter, but that is definitely not the ONLY reason! Her kids are a little older, at a more "fun" age and they interact with me, and I do see them on a much more regular basis, so they know me and love when I come over to play. The other friend's kid just doesn't really do that much so I have a harder time interacting with her. 

    Sorry! I promise I'm not that shallow. It's really not about the cuteness thing, that's more of an after-thought due to my favoritism (still bad, I'm aware!).

    I have another.

    DD is going through a weird eating phase right now. I managed to get her to eat about 1/2 an apple and after that, all she wanted to eat was shredded cheese. So I gave in. And my stomach is turning watching her eat it and lick her fingers after each bite.

    Oh well, least it has some protein.

    Oh, the back pedaling.
    It's true, really! Ugh, I feel bad. I'm sorry for all I offended with my thoughtless "FFFC". I'm really not a terrible person! I hope I haven't become "that poster" on the O'14 board and will be blacklisted by everyone. I like it here...  :-S

    Ok, I''ll play devils advocate. Maybe @pnwlover12 meant "cute" as the whole package, not physical appearance.

    When I say "oh gosh so and so's kid is so cute!" I'm usually not talking about looks, it's more personality. I think kids are really cute if the are smiley, hug you, interact with you, etc. And I do enjoy interacting with kids who have that type of personality more than ones who are standoffish or bratty or shy. I think that's natural. 

    On the other hand, OP, if you meant straight looks, you are on your own :0)

    Signs like this annoy the shit out of me.

    When I invite someone into my house I want them to feel comfortable.. if my big dog makes you feel uncomfortable I have no problem putting her in the kitchen while you visit. I think it's so rude when people invite you over and let their dog jump/climb/lick all over you.
    image
    hahahaha so funny! I'm totally this type of person though :0) In my defense, I rarely invite people over because of this. These signs DO apply, however, if someone visiting town asks if they can stay at my place, or otherwise REQUESTS to come to my house. Sure, you can stay at my house. But it's Mr. Bub's house too!

    It's me, not @pnwlover12! And yes, of course it's a combination of things and it's more than what I said in my original post, but what matters is that I did not say that in my original post, so I understand the flame I'm getting and it's well-deserved.

    My FFFC:
    I peed in a diaper the other day.

    Backstory: Baby girl likes to play soccer with my bladder. I peed before I left work, and it is usually a 45min drive home with traffic.  Traffic, however, was *terrible*...stupid county fair between work and home, and who knows what else was going on...after about an hour, only halfway home, I really really had to pee...ok, I'd had to pee for at least 20 minutes at that point.  One of DD's diapers was in the front seat...so I put it down my pants and used it.  It would have taken at least 20 minutes extra to get off of and back on the highway, and as it was, I finally got to daycare 10 minutes before they closed at 6.

    Pregnant lady problems.


    Hahaha! Someone else here did that, too. I think it was @AppleGrapeMSTK‌ or @Emerald27? I may be wrong, but I know someone has! :)
