I would never have thought of that.

Because of what I used to do "for a living" before becoming a Mommy (I taught college English for 10 years) I am snobby about that kind of thing.

Thank you for the different perspective.

You want a laugh Calgirl? It was a college English professor who told me to become a writer. His next words were, "Of course you're going to need a h*** of a good editor."

DH LOVES Phineas & Ferb. It can be really funny. At least we aren't recording that like we do for iCarly.

So, I think I am going to actively run for Worst Mother of the Year. These are the things I am going to do:




1. Make DD start sucking on a pacifier again just so she will stop talking for more than 3 seconds at a time.
2. Make a contraption that will allow DD to hang a TV around her neck so that she watches TV all day long.
3. Go topless everywhere just in case one day I may start producing milk again and decide I want to BF in public.
4. Never let her eat a cooked meal. Only feed her McDonalds and Dairy Queen
5. Make sure she has a cell phone, iPad, and a laptop with her everywhere she goes
6. Never drive her anywhere. She will ride her bike without a helmet along the busiest streets I can find that have no sidewalks.
7. Make sure she screams EVERYWHERE we go in public while running around destroying things.

What else can I do? I really want this award.

I also want to send my sympathies out to poor Julia. If we think these threads are bad, I can only imagine how she is feeling right now.

I'm mostly not participating. I'm not in the mood to argue with people.

Turns out I learned a LOT on the Education forum incluing some insights into some of the Parenting posters. Absolutely fascinating.

Night everyone!

My friend told me I was stereotyping babies when I said they scream A LOT out in public, cut to walmart for 9 hours a day and besides the BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP of the registers, that's the only other thing I hear, is the screaming children....everywhere....all the time.

I don't think I was stereotyping, I think I hit that nail on the head.

/smooch

This board is easier than Relationships, but I co-mod that one. Relationships, IMO, is easier than Politics & Other Controversies.

This board will have one or two hot threads, but the rest is pretty quiet.

Good Morning All!

How goes it today?

DH is away on business, and DS is camping with the Boy Scouts, so it's very peaceful at Casa Zim this weekend.

DD8 listens to Glee from the minute she opens her eyes in the morning. I am deliberating whether or not to watch the show with her. I am by no means a prude, I am just wrestling with whether or not some of the themes are a bit too mature for her.
