Re: UO
Thanks to this shit show I was able to add a few names to my post it.
My UO: I think it's kinda mean to only "love tit" some HDBD photos and not others. I'm not sure why but it makes me sad when I see this.
+1
It's why I don't participate in HDBD, or haven't to this point. I don't want to miss anyone and hurt any feelings!
The Tooties Rolls: I have no idea how those nasty brown ones manage to stay on the market! I LOVE the flavored ones ahh orange mmm!
The Pumpkin Spice H8tr: how dare you. Lol but I agree with peppermint goodness!
My UO: I fucking love that Anaconda song by Nicki Minaj. Sorry for my language but it's so funny and catchy to me.
There was one around the time DS was born (Dec 2012) about a baby born with anencephaly who died within hours of birth, and I remember holding 5 day old DS, reading the story, and just crying and crying. Hugs and prayers for those families.
I saw Gone Girl last night and for the most part LOVED it. Can't wait to read the book now. I haven't been introduced to Gillian Flynn's work until now.

I closed that last chapter thoroughly disgusted and disappointed. I won't see the movie because I hated those characters so much.

1.) I think waffles are a lot better than pancakes.
2.) I think kids should be corrected/disciplined for rolling their eyes at adult figures. I was raised in a household where eye rolling was a huge sign of disrespect. I cringe every time a child is allowed to roll their eyes without any repercussions.
*********************************************************
On mobile so I can't bold. So I separated your reply. I agree with your first paragraph. My parents taught me that rolling my eyes was disrespectful BUT never that every adult figure would always be correct. Instead, they taught me that rolling my eyes was an immature way to express my feelings, even if the adult figure was wrong. If I felt that an adult figure was wrong there were better ways to go about explaining my side/concerns than rolling my eyes.
My parents NEVER tried to tell me what to do with my body. During my "I know everything" teen years if I did roll my eyes at them they would stop the conversation and tell me that they didn't appreciate me rolling my eyes. They told me that I could come back to talk to them when I was ready to do it with maturity. They wouldn't belittle me or ignore me. The simple redirection of the conversation would cause me to calm down and taught me how to properly convey my point, even when I was very angry (I give a lot of my debate team success to this. While others lost points for physical and/or verbal outbursts, my ability to stay calm saved me points
I agree that trying to control every physical aspect of your child is not good but at the same time, not telling them why a physical action is disrespectful can be worse in the long run, in my opinion.
As an adult, you can't roll your eyes at your boss without them loosing some of their respect for you as a professional. Yes, there are a lot of bad bosses, but as a parent I believe it is my job to teach my children how to properly interact with people who always assume they are right by using their words, not an immature physical reaction, like eye rolling. Which given your last two paragraphs, I think you agree with?
Don't get me wrong. I have my days when I will roll my eyes at something I read online, but I never roll my eyes in front of a person who says something I don't agree with because, like you, I think that showing someone that you think what they said is stupid doesn't do anything to help the situation.
My basic point is that I think a child who is able to control their physical reactions (because they were redirected/corrected to) while having a conversation with an adult (right or wrong) is learning a good lesson about maturity. It's not about "controlling" their actions. It's about giving them alternatives that will help them when they are out in the real world.
*sorry for the run-on sentences/ spelling. I hope all of that makes sense. After a certain length it's hard to edit my posts while I'm in the app.

@maebb Wow....just wow.
I work with high schoolers (most of which have problems socializing or fully understanding social situations). They are all at the age where they are interested in getting a job, so for the past two weeks I've been going over professional etiquette. Next week is supposed to be about interview strategies, but I may change it to body language and communication so I can use your example as a roll play scenario. I'm curious to see how some of them would respond.

The book was well written but I HATED the ending. I hope they changed it for the movie. I'm waiting until it comes out in Red Box to see it.
:::cringe:::
Gum smacking/popping are my biggest pet peeves. I tell all my kids that I don't mind gum in my room, but the second they start chewing like a cow or popping it they are no longer allowed to have it.
It sounds like she'd be the perfect "don't" example! Lol
