Oooh.. I just thought of one spurred on by catbus. I judge people IRL who CONSTANTLY bitch about how there kid never ever has slept through the night at like 18 months, 2 years old.
But they won't do anything about it. They keep the kid out until all hours ( 10pm) pretty often, have him sleep over grandparents, friends, aunts and uncles houses all. the. time. so they can go out, and basically provide NO consistency.
Then they ask me if I had to do babywise because my kid sleeps. No asshole. He just sleeps. I gave him consistency and got lucky.
Everyone on MMM however seems so normal in regards to this issue in comparison to the assholes I know in real life. Seriously I feel like I am surrounded by jerk moms. I need new friends/ family
Yes. But don't forget that it's obviously sleep training if you have a routine... (Please tell me you read that thread a couple weeks ago, otherwise this won't make any sense to you!) I credit luck, our baby's temperament, and a solid bedtime routine. We'll break the rules and stay out later on occasions, but otherwise we just do the same things at the same time every night and (FOR NOW) he sleeps. It's not going to work for every baby, no. But (anecdote alert) someone in my moms' group was going crazy from sleep deprivation, and mentioned that they'd been going out of town every weekend since her daughter's birth. A couple of us in the group advised her to just stay home and develop a routine and within a week her daughter was actually STTN.
I had a teacher in 5th grade talk about this. She said if aliens or whatever creature came to Earth and discovered we put our children in boxes for hours a day (classrooms), holes in our bodies (piercings), and worst of all, eat creatures reproductive leftovers (eggs) what would they think.
It's pretty fascinating when you see things from an entirely different vantage point.
I always laugh when people of any religion make fun of how ridiculous another religion is. Objectively, they're all BSC. Honestly. Like, I can't relate to making fun of Scientology or Mormons, because how are their beliefs any crazier than other sects? If anything, I'm more likely to believe someone came here from somewhere else in the universe than I am to believe he came about by virgin birth. Really. To an agnostic/atheist like me, they're all equally silly. Edit: That does not mean I think people who do follow religions are silly. Just that I think they're silly for making fun of other religions.

good thing I'm agnostic then.
FWIW, I agree with you that it takes a special type of crazy to believe that some higher power would rather a person suffer and die than utilize basic medicine to recover. I also completely agree with the tenets of keeping Kosher. I love me some crab, but know they're quite disgusting. I also love bacon, but pigs freak me the eff out (they will eat ANYTHING, including people). My point was more about Christians making fun of Mormons for their "crazy" beliefs. Like, really?
catbus- I sleep trained for GOING to sleep at 7 months. Still, world of difference between that and babywise. PS Whose kids are standing in there crib at 3-4 months old??? That's crazy.

LOL, sorry, my crib comment was referring to hypothetically, in the future.
As a jam band fan I need to know who it is. If it's Trey Anastasio I am officially jealous and wish I could take your place.
Yes, it is Trey. We listened to his new stuff over the weekend and I was shocked at how mainstream it sounded.
There was a post not too long ago about best albums start to finish and I asked him about the NYE Phish show you mentioned - I believe the word "epic" was used. He laughed and went into a long explanation about it.
My dog is mad at me because its been too cold for him to go and hang out in the yard all day. He has been stuck in with me and 7 kids all week.
I don't understand why people don't let their dogs hang out in their fenced yards alone. I have heard the reasons, but really I would rather take that chance than babysit my dog every minute of the day. I would annoy him. He likes to lay out there and watch the birds and dig.
I don't know, for some reason the "newer" religions seem more crazy to me. Like Mormonism was founded at a time we have records of, so realistically if it was real then more people would know it. And that whole hat thing is weird.

Oh, this is @ related, but I haven't had this kid yet but I already feel like I'm going to like kid #2 more because most of the first children I know are whiny little bitches. I'm sure that is flameworthy.

Bahaha this is so true but I didn't realize it until you said it.

LOL, my son is definitely a whiny first child. I often want to tell him to sack up. But DD is incredibly sassy and much more strong-willed, so even though she's tougher, she's not necessarily easier.

as an oldest, I totally want to whine about this generalization, but...
just kidding. I honestly haven't noticed this. are you talking about adults too or just children who are the oldest?

Hahaha, I totally needed this after my evening with DS. My kid has been acting like this lately.

One of our acquaintances posted a video montage of their son's first year on Facebook. Included was a clip of the delivery, right up in there.... baby crowning and all. No joke.

Hah. DH and I have talked about how our oldest seems a bit more entitled than her little brother. I could probably get behind whinier too. I can see how people would consider our second more likeable. Our third is by far the crowd favorite, but she is still a baby. We shall see.
It is gross and lazy to still have your Christmas shit up (and I would say this as a few weeks ago, too). This only occurred to me to add as I just stepped over pine needles and even branches in my elevator today.
It just seems fake to me... like they are pretending to actually like or care about football. I know it's irrational.
I love football and I always have. My parents aren't even into it (minus the tailgating) and my husband learned everything he knows about football from me. I guess I have been faking it for 25 years.

My husband actually didn't watch football AT ALL until he met me. He was forced to watch college football so many Saturdays in a row it finally grew on him.
I remember watching a game with him where he called a shovel pass a "shuffle pass." It was awesome.
