...because I have one.

I really don't think that 3D mascara looks good.

...like at all. It looks clumpy and artificial.

Bwahaha yes I did. But I love it.

I'm so sick of seeing it in my IG feed.

It looks like it was manufactured in the 80s.

@BPer‌ I agree. Not a fan.

That's the same as the fiber lashes that are everywhere these days? I agree. I keep wondering if it's just a clumpy mess or people don't know how to apply it bc I've had fiber mascara from CVS (maybe Maybelline brand) and it looked nice.

I burnt the piss out of my hand last night making dinner. It blistered almost instantly.

And then, I burnt dinner while doctoring my hand and had to start over. (Burnt, burned? I'm grammatically confused this morning.)

I think sometimes people manufacture mom-related problems/disagreements. Sure, there are plenty of moms putting down other moms and their choice, but does it really happen on a nearly daily basis, or are people either 1) way too sensitive or 2) feeling judged when someone's not really judging at all. Like, I've had people make snide comments about the fact that daycare is raising my kids. But it doesn't happen all the time.

I dislike pretty much everything that is cherry flavored.

I wonder if they are putting it on super duper thick to try and make it look dramatic. I've never done fiber mascara, but a co-worker of mine does and she looks good with it.

If Harry Connick Jr. asked me to have his babies, I certainly wouldn't argue. I heard a version of "Baby it's Cold Outside: this morning with him and Lee Ann Womack... OMG. Cold chills.

I think most people like this are just too sensitive. I have a friend like this. Love her, but she always claims people are judging her. I think she reads too much into things.

Maybe I just think people need to own their choices more. I am positive I get judged from time to time for the fact that I don't cook, I work a lot of hours and daycare is clearly raising my kids as well (and I'm sure a million other reasons to judge me). But I own my choices. If people have a problem with the choices I make as a mom, that's fine, judge away. But I am happy with how I am raising my kids and so far I haven't damaged them.

I'm pretty sure I have the flu. I'm so thankful for DayQuil and ibuprophen because it's the only way I feel like a normal human. I'm also thankful for Bubble Guppies and Paw Patrol because they're my babysitters right now.

I'm so over judging other moms for their choices. Unless you're abusing your child or otherwise causing harm, then do what works for your family. I used to be so judgy (when Nola was a baby and I totes knew everything) but I just don't have the time to even think judgy thoughts anymore.

jenndub · December 2014

We toured Sawyer's preschool yesterday and we're looking at a home daycare for Lennon next week. Sawyer has never been watched by anyone but family and I'm feeling so sad that we're putting her in "school" so early. The other two started at 3 and a half. And I'm having major guilt about putting Lennon in daycare. I know that most of you have been through this and they will be fine. But I am a mess. A hideous, crying mess.

Get well soon!

I'm with you for the most part on the 'no time to judge' thing, I will admit that I absolutely judge one set of parents I know because they wait FOREVER to change their kid's dirty diaper because "he throws a fit when you change him" (my guess is if you weren't letting the poo dry on his bum and taking 15 minutes to clean him up he might be more cooperative).

Aw, ((hugs)). It doesn't make it any easier, but they will love it. There's definitely an adjustment, but I'm sure they'll do great. Sawyer seems to go with the flow pretty well, so I am sure she'll adapt quickly!

MarisaKathleen · December 2014

I internally judge a lot of things, but unless you're (proverbial you're, not anyone here) endangering your kids, I wouldn't say anything. My SILs and I have very different ideas on parenting, and they're who I most closely identify with because our kids are all so close in age. They also do nothing but complain about their kids, so I'm sure that's part of it too. If you're going to keep complaining about something and then not do anything to try and correct the behavior or the bad habit, then shut up already.

Add me to the list of not caring for the 3D mascara. Most applications I've seen have been too intense for me. My DH finds it freaky because of how spikey they get. :-)

tinyhumantoe · December 2014

I don't wear mascara except on rare occassions because little black flakes get in my eyes and it bothers my eyes. I can't imagine even trying the fiber shit.

tinyhumantoe · December 2014

I have a UO! The whole "shop local" thing should apply to any local store, even the big ones like JCPenney, mall stores, etc.

Do you like having a mall to go to with clothes to try on and choose from? Then you should think of going there to buy your dress pants instead of ordering online. Eventually all of these stores are going to have to close their doors. Those stores are also local and dependent on the local economy. Now, locally owned and operated - of course you should try to buy from those. There are not locally owned and operated options for some items, like clothing.

I'm sorry. I was like this when Aria had to restart daycare at the end of the summer. It will get better. Sawyer will love the other kiddos and crafts and such.

tinyhumantoe · December 2014

Awww sorry @jenndub! W has gone to daycare for so long but I still have lapses of mom guilt

But she really loves her friends there. It think the socialization is really good for her and that makes me feel less sad. We just love these tiny people so much, it's hard!

MarisaKathleen · December 2014

@IndigoVader, I have to admit, I'm not so secretly disappointed that you're not going to use the floor mats. They sound absolutely incredible.

I don't remember what we got Nancy for Christmas when she was a baby, but I have no idea what to get Cal. I got him like 3 outfits, but yea. That's it. I wouldn't worry about it except that I know Nancy will bring it up because she's getting toys and clothes and I wrapped everything individually, so she'll definitely notice.

I wrapped everyday things for the baby to get (spoons, bibs, puffs...) and got a Scout dog because DD1 is worried about 'what Santa bring sister' I might also wrap our old activity table so I hve something bigger to give DD2.

I think we did some bath toys and board books and then puffs and such in her stocking.

Here's a question for you ladies.

We got Nancy a sound machine. It's a pink lady bug with wings. It projects stars onto the ceiling and plays like 4 different sonce. It plays for 30 minutes and then shuts off.

It is N O T Cloud B. Anyone have any clue in the world what in the hell this thing is? I want to get a similar one for Cal because Nancy still uses hers every single day, but she's loved the tag off of hers and there's no brand on it.

Yeah. I internally judge all the time. I just don't verbalize it bc how is that any of my business?

@jenndub, the kids are going to do great! Kids are so much more adaptable than grown-ups.

That's just mean, IMO, to not change a baby as soon as possible.

DD's first Christmas, she got a Sophie teether, some baby books, pjs. Basically stuff she needed anyway, wrapped individually. DS was going on 3 at the time and didn't seem to think she got ripped off.

I 'judge' a lot, but it's mostly me discussing what I find acceptable and unacceptable (and to what degree) in my own head.

And I just keep my mouth shut.

We have an amazon warehouse here, does that count as my shopping local

Maybe because my DH is quick to judge (never out loud to anyone but me), I am usually quick to defend. Not that I don't judge, but I feel like he doesn't always give someone the benefit of the doubt.

Like when I showed up to Brody's Christmas concert yesterday and Aedan was only wearing one sock. He took off his socks and shoes in the car and threw his sock somewhere (we searched for over 10 minutes and still can't find it).

Don't judge me, I swear I dress my kids appropriately for the cold weather - my toddler just loves to drive me crazy!! I'm actually certain no one noticed, but this is the type of thing that DH would jump to a conclusion instead of just thinking, maybe things just happen.

I am going to grow up here in a few minutes and get off TB. I'm too backlogged to be on here but I feel like I"m in a funk

tinyhumantoe · December 2014

@kelbel527 I would never judge a sock or something so silly. I wouldn't judge a child missing a coat (eta: like getting dropped off at daycare), unless it was a daily thing.

I wouldn't judge a glass of juice of choc milk, though I choose not to give those to my kid. I do judge my friend who gives her son a ton of juice and choc milk w/ each meal. I judge my SIL, who FF her super miniature 1 year old child at 9 months. I guess I don't care about the small stuff?

Oh look, I'm still on TB. Surprise.

danabsd · December 2014

We sleep with the TV on. Bad habit leftover from college and living on a main road for years, I can't fall asleep in silence.
Anyway, I put on something recorded and fall asleep. When it's over it just goes to the screen saver screen. Well last night at 1:20 am an Amber Alert came through. It was loud as shit. Apparently loud enough for MH to think it was his alarm. I turned it off and he got up and turned on the shower. It took him a couple minutes to realize he still had another couple hours of sleep.

I probably shouldn't have quoted you. I wasn't saying that you judge those things at all. My DH is the one who is quick to judge small things ("why isn't that kid wearing a coat?" "I can't believe they ordered choc milk for their 1 yo") So I'm really referring to him.

And like I said, I judge too (internally or to DH only) - but I wish he wasn't so quick to judge.
