Just because. I just want to know what specifically is inappropriate to you. The pink? The highlights? The 100 dollars?
Partially the 100 dollars but I would never ever send my kids to school with unnaturally colored hair. FWIW, the school office told her that they don't "prohibit it" but they don't condone it as it's a distraction. To each their own, but I'm still shocked she chose to do it.
I would consider it in the summer, but I would never pay more than the cost of a box of jello for it and I'm not sure how long that would stay in their light blonde hair.
As a teacher, pink hair is VERY low on the list of my problems/distractions in class.
My 6 year old daughter had purple hair this summer. We had a deal if she got all good weekly reports from her teacher that we would do it. My son (10) had blue hair.
I also dyed my 6 yo daughters hair green. The underside only. She loved it. I wouldn’t pay $100 to do it but to each their own.
I’m judging myself. My kids fight all the time. I ask my friends and they’re all “my kids never fight. It’s all unicorns and rainbows and they love each other so much” so I just must be doing something wrong. Bah.
Your friends are liars. My kids get along 80% of the time. They can be best friends or worst enemies. They can fight like cats and dogs too.
Well right now I'm kind of judging people who give snarky responses to "what do you do?"
I mean, I get where people are coming from with the dislike of the question, but if you don't want to answer, just say so or be vague or something. Don't make small talk more terrible than it already is by being a jerk about a common question.
It's usually an innocuous conversation filler, much like the weather. Giving a flip response is dumb.
This. Asking what someone does doesn't have to turn into an hour long discussion about TPS reports. It's a filler question but COULD lead to an interesting conversation if someone's job actually is interesting/ off the beaten path!
There are 2 dads who regularly pick their under the age of 5 year olds up from daycare in their 2 seater sport cars with no car seats. So the kids are in the front seat AND not using a booster.
Maybe not judge, but I am concerned if something were to happen.
Along the same lines, my MIL told me that my kids are too competitive with one another, and that it's my fault because my sister and I don't get along.
I won't even start on the list of things I judge her for ...

Ditto... a professional stylist friend did turquoise streaks in DD's hair this summer and while they've faded significantly, they're still there. We have gotten zero negative comments, and a ton of positive ones about how it looks, but also about encouraging bodily autonomy. Honestly, if there's ever a time when you can get by with fun colors, it's as a kid!
Also as a GS leader, I'd just be thrilled that someone actually turned permission slips/$$ in on time, I don't give a shit how they're attached. What a dumb thing to nitpick.
Why can people judge moms who drive their kid to the bus stop and I can't judge pink hair at school? This board is exhausting sometimes. A judging thread is never any fun if you can't actually, you know, judge.
I will judge people who put tape on checks. I will be surprised if the bank will take it now, but who knows.
Moms who drive to the bus stop are being lazy and/or helicoptering and moms who let their kids express themselves aren’t doing anything worth judging. My first grader had purple hair all summer and if it somehow weeded out some moms who thought my kids hair was not appropriate for her, all the better! Also, you ripped that woman’s check check and you’re mad at her about it.
I'm also judging my niece about her breastfeeding posts on Facebook. She's very pro-breastfeeding and that IS great.. but I don't need to see a picture of your boobs everyday or a picture of the baby barely covering your nipple and some stupid caption like "dreaming about the milkies". I have now saw her boobs almost everyday for the last 4 months and I'm sure there's at least 6 more months of this.
I challange all the bus stop judgers to hang out at our Michigan bus stop in January, half those days the bus will be 20 minutes late but you have to be there on time just in case or the bus won't release your kid. Good luck!

Yeah I tend to agree. I live in NH, not Michigan but winters here get pretty cold and the bus is never on time. Even in nice weather, I pick them up a lot because both my kids get off the bus tired & starving and the fastest way to ensure a better afternoon is to get home quickly. Sometimes I walk to meet them and we walk home. But it's not always a great option.

Lol true. I used to judge car sitters. Then my kid started school, and I need to leave immediately after he gets on the bus comes to drive to work. The bus stops right in front of my house but I'll have the car running and ready to go (and if it's bad weather we'll be sitting in it lol). So to people driving by I'm sure it looks like he's spoiled/lazy, but in reality I'm watching the clock and thinking of my commute time.
We need parent supervision on and off the bus until grade 5.
We usually walk to the bus stop because it’s just at the end of our (long) driveway, but sometimes I drive my kids (or just me and they walk), because I have to leave for work immediately after they get on the bus. Or if it’s pouring rain, or really effing cold. You never know some people’s reasons for driving to the bus stop.

People in parking lots who, despite 15 open spots on all sides of me, including many spots closer to the door, have to park directly next to me and then get pissed when I have to open my door to get out.
Omg. Stop it.
This may belong in an irrational post but it’s annoying.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham

I pick up now but last year I walked with the dog because DHs car was in the shop and he took my car. The bus was 30 minutes late. It was like 20 degrees and snowing, the dog was shaking so much I tried to stick him in my coat with me. When the bus arrived DS was sobbing because big kids pulled everything out of his backpack on the way home so it was all in his arms instead of in the backpack. He steps off the bus, and all the papers go flying in the wind so he cries even harder. The bus had to wait for us to grab everything. It was a freaking circus. No thanks! Guess I'm lazy!
I judge gym goers who don't know proper gym etiquette. Like reracking weights and or putting back fitness items after they use them.
I judge folks who don't know the real meaning of single parenting. Even if you allow/sign off on parent to have full custody doesn't mean that makes the person not a single parent.

I don't want to like your post because that sounds awful for all involved. But I can completely commiserate.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. I have to drive David to school, but some mornings I'm in a rush to get to my spin class or other appointment and I could see just dropping off to save time.
I’m judging myself. My kids fight all the time. I ask my friends and they’re all “my kids never fight. It’s all unicorns and rainbows and they love each other so much” so I just must be doing something wrong. Bah.

Psst, your friends are lying. Lol
Your friends are lying their asses off. My sister and I were best friends who loved each other growing up (still do) and even we fought.
I honestly don't judge nearly as much as I used to because I think I just care less as I get older, lol. BUT I really judge this fucking bitch in the school pick up line that always skips ahead. I want to lay on the fucking horn when she does this to me. If you're in that much of a hurry, park your car and walk up you dumb asshole.
I also drive just down the street to the bus stop in the mornings because I immediately leave for work after. I'm pretty sure people judge but IDGAF. Sometimes my kids ride with me, sometimes they walk and I meet them down there. I don't trust them to cross the pretty busy street themselves (1st graders) and people drive like shit in my neighborhood.
I judge a MLMer I know for all her damn bragging on social media. I guess she's a director or whatever at her company so probably makes decent $ but what happens when that goes away? Her DH has a job that isn't known for making tons of $$. They have bought their kid a horse, bought a camper and are building a house that is probably 800k or more. The latest is posting pics of brochures for European cruises. In person she's really nice but on SM is just obnoxious.

I judge a lot less too because I truly dgaf anymore, but when someone annoys me, omg it’s to the 10000000 power!
Also, "not talking about your work" smacks to me of ppl who have more money than sense and their "job" is collecting from a trust fund while pursuing a masters in Renaissance Cartography.
Well PFFT to you, too.
(Says the Ph.D in Renaissance history with a specialization in cartography)
So since the parents at bus stops is often school mandated, can we judge the schools for damaging children's independence? Like, I get maybe having a rotation where one parent monitors the bus stop each morning, but requiring every parent every pickup and dropoff? That's insane! And I'm guessing those rules were instituted because one time one kid was dropped off at the wrong place or missed the bus and somebody made a big stink about it.
I'm also judging my niece about her breastfeeding posts on Facebook. She's very pro-breastfeeding and that IS great.. but I don't need to see a picture of your boobs everyday or a picture of the baby barely covering your nipple and some stupid caption like "dreaming about the milkies".
