The real UO day.

TheOtherJacobsons · July 2014

I have to go back to work now and not in that "I feel sorry for your husbands" kind of way.

PeanutButterFox · July 2014

@sterling13 a joke from yesterday's randoms about buttering a chicken feeling how it would to butter a baby. It was funny in the moment.

jesuisfatiguee · July 2014

Economic sanctions are, in some cases, nearly as horrifying as war. That hurts everyone, including/especially the innocents.

I don't get collecting things. Like "I collect angel chatchkis" or "I have a collection of pig things" (these are both real life examples). I hate extra stuff around and the idea that I'd have to receive that stuff then find a place to put it makes me twitchy.

MH has the most irritating and stupid collection ever. Red Rose tea bags (giggity) come with a little figurine in the box and he has like, every one ever made. They sit on the kitchen windowsill and I would rally, rally like to throw them all out because it's a pain in the ass to take them all down to clean and then put them all back.
The only things I collect are love tits.

I collect these, put them with my Christmas things, and include them in my Nativity scene every year. I love it!

First buttering babies and now this. IDK about you TOJ.

Ok I lied. I came back and I am glad I did. This made me laugh.

Well I'm gonna join you in the side eye club. Speaking of, where did @stargirlflamingboobpicture go?

I tend to think women who go on and on about how they can't be friends with women and only like hanging out with "the guys" are trying too hard. I know it may be true but you don't have to state it constantly. I.e, shut up cube mate.

It is weird to talk about it a lot. I think some people think they should get a special award or something for it. "Like, I can totally be one of the guys because I am so cool! I like video games and beer! I am the coolest chick ever!"

[Deleted User] · July 2014

My MIL collects the worst crap. She has zero impulse control and just buys whatever she thinks is cute at the time. It all lands in one of her bazillion curios.

I've already told DH that when she dies, that shit is going straight in the trash. I am not even bothering sorting it. And I am a diehard Freecycler.

kmh2201 · July 2014

I judge parents with young children whose houses are clutter-free and look like they're ready for an HGTV photo shoot at any time. It's okay to have some clutter and toys out. (Dirtiness is not okay, though.)

I really like Weird Al's video/song for #WordCrimes.

Five minutes later: he's cute! I like their uniforms better! Wooooo! What's that flag mean?

Fuck the war on drugs though. Power and money keep that machine going though.

Especially mandatory sentencing. We're pretty much the only industrialized nation that locks up rather than helping our addicts.

Oh and the current wave of illegal immigrants from central America is almost a direct result of the failed war on drugs.

Fuck Reagan. He was a terrible president.

I blame TV and movies for making it look like guys drool over women who are "just one of the guys". No, you are just an average person who loves beer because it is fucking awesome. Video games....well, I think those suck, so I must be a girly girl then.

True, but they sometimes work better than guns with less bloodshed.

Don't be hatin on my cleaning and organization skills.

j/k my snapchat friends know I do not fall into this category, but seriously why would you judge that? Maybe they cleaned up for company.

I love @HilarityEnsued‌ for her grammatically correct ways.

I can't discuss this right now, I'm on the phone with my HGTV photog and she needs my full attention.

ShakeyJakey · July 2014

Seriously fuck Reagan. He cut mental health spending and it's still fucking us. If people could get treatment instead of guns and jail time, there'd be a lot less homeless mentally ill people/people who have a breakdown and go on a shooting spree.

jesuisfatiguee · July 2014

None of y'all are ever invited to my apartment. I don't necessarily have knick knacks, but I am pretty cluttered. In my defense, I don't have much storage space, but... yeah.

*Jumping in without reading anything but page 12*

I am always battling clutter. H has no problem with leaving random stuff out anywhere - so I always feel like I am clutter police, taking his hat, phone charger, receipts, shopping bags, 3 pairs of shoes, etc. off our counter, couch, hallway. I feel so much better when clutter is out of the way.

I am a minimalist. H likes to hold onto things forever. Like-he has shirts from high school still. Ok, H, that was over 12 years ago. Time to toss.

I have a robe from the 4th grade. It still fits, I'm keeping it.

I sometimes wonder how people find parenting who weren't a part of the great 12-24 migration. I don't think I would've clicked on this board otherwise. Even though it is pretty much the least exclusive board on tb.

We are pretty good at recruiting.

Except me. I recruited RTV.

I came here because of the Big Brother board, and then I read some other things and was all .... MY PEOPLE.

Um, it's a huge PITA to put those away every time.

slednecksmomma · July 2014

My house is constantly cluttered because we have zero storage space (No basement, attic, or garage and a total of 4 closets...fml) and I work until 8:30, 9, sometimes 9:30pm, which means my H has been home for hours cluttering up the house and the LAST thing I want to do when I get home that late is pick up after him and the baby. I usually only have 4 hours in the morning to get both E and I up and ready for the day (including a nap in there somewhere for him), so shit stays disorganized until the weekend usually.

jesuisfatiguee · July 2014

I don't remember how I found Parenting the first time under my old SN.

It was during the days of the FFST's, before sex talk invaded all other discussions to the degree it has now.

myskyegirl · July 2014

I came here from the 1 Direction board aka Chit Chat,but I don't remember why I switched.

I'm sorry, but who the fuck wants "hidden" kitty litter in their living room??

And if you do, here's a tutorial:

https://www.brooklynlimestone.com/2014/07/hidden-kitty-litter-side-table-guest.html

Honestly, I have considered trying to make something like this. I have a narrow bathroom and the cat box is disgustingly positioned near my bath towels. That's really the only place I can keep it in my apartment.

I was bitter and not having sex back when those were a thing so I never really participated

Omg, me too. I bitched about not getting laid on almost a nightly basis in the Roll Call threads.

PeanutButterFox · July 2014

I used to lurk Parenting when it was inhabited by a different group of posters. I was off TB for awhile, then came back a few months later and decided to check out what those crazy bitches were up to and found you crazy bitches instead. I stayed. The end.

TheEmpireNeedsYou said:
I think my mom did me a huge disservice by not making me do chores. She always said we'd have the rest of our lives to be stuck cleaning. Great sentiment but then I grew up with no clue how to efficiently do basic household stuff and no established routine either. So instead I constantly fight with myself to get shit done and feel like I do a crappy job.

I totally hurt her feelers when this came up in a discussion.

Same. The only chores I don't hate are the few she made us do.

ShakeyJakey · July 2014

I found parenting during first tri when everyone was like, yay Parenting's here! I didn't post until after LO was born though.

I think people find out about us too when we get bat signaled into a thread to ever so helpfully point out some injustice of one kind or another. It's a public service that gets us noticed.

That's how I found this board. I happened to agree with parenting (shocking, right?). I'm still trying to find my groove and I like you all.

ready-or-not · July 2014

I really want one of those signs that reads "Sorry, closed for lunch, be back at <blank>" so that people will leave me the fuck alone when I'm trying to eat lunch. It always happens at once, too. Someone comes thru the front door, another person into my office, & then the phone rings right as I unwrap my delicious was-warm-when-I-got-it chicken sandwich. GTFO people!!

ShakeyJakey · July 2014

I try to make sure LO sees both of us clean even though the majority of it is done when he's sleeping. I'm a terrible housekeeper naturally so I have to work hard to make myself stay on top of things. I don't want him to think a magic fairy does all the cleaning.
