Annoying moms

[Anonymous]

I find most moms (and other people's kids) annoying. I love my kids and being with them - but my decision to be a SAHM was probably a mistake based on my personality. I enjoy the company of adults and adult conversation. I am not good at places like Gymboree and sing-a-longs at the library. So I leave most of that to my nanny (who loves it) I spend great quality time with my kids one on one - just not great in groups with other moms and kids. I have a lot of single friends ( a lot of gay friends) and that's who I like to hang with....Actually, my best friend (whose single and gay) and I hang with my kids a lot and have so much fun......I am probably going to go back to work once the kids are in school.....

Moms who tsk tsk me for not having gloves on my 12 month old....am I the only one whose child pulls the gloves off with their teeth and throws them out of the stroller?????

Why do you feel the need to say that your friend is single and gay--why not just single? Who cares what sexual orientation.

Disagree with the elevator comment--I have on too many occasions been at Tysons Mall near one of the department stores where there is a small elevator (it's in the mall but near I think Macy's). Anyway, it bothers me to no end seeing people who could walk the stairs or escalator going on this elevator. I am amazed at the laziness since the elevator takes time to actually get there and it would be faster to just take the stairs or elevator which isn't a choice for me or folks with a disability. Annoying!!

Also annoying--I was at Clemijontri today and went on the Yellow slide with dd (2)-as she was getting seated a little boy around 4 and old enough pushed past me and dd and went down the slide; almost knocking me and dd over. His mom-just ignored the whole thing. No --hey Jimmy, wait your turn and watch out for the little girl. Or--when he landed, in case she was in shock, Jimmy (made up name) you almost hurt that little girl and her mom, you shouldn't do that. Just nothing--obviously didn't care and he is on his way to being a bully.

No, yours are not the only ones. Mine will toss the hat off!

Moms who count over and over and over and do nothing about the action they are counting over. Wow, you have just taught your child to count to 3 and that is it.

Moms who say to their child when mine is playing with something, "you will get a turn in a minute". "Share". My anwer is no you want, I am not making my child put down the toy he is playing with so yours can play with it, find another toy, shovel, piece of chalk or what ever it is. HE IS NOT SHARING!

I thought repetition was important in teaching?

yes it is, do you share your "toys". I like your car, jacket, house whatever and I am going to wait 2 mins then it is mine for a while. Screw that. It is unrealistic. It makes perfect sense to me to tell the child mine or not, to look for another toy because this one is being used and I am not sure how long it is going to before they are finished. Why should I make my child give up a toy. I have always found that strange and I refuse to do it. Too bad if it bothers someone else, I don't really care, rather bother you than the child playing with the toy your child wants.

Moms who have the nerve to criticize me for having a c-section. Or make up false facts like my baby will end up in the NICU if I have a c-section.

Oh, and moms who tell long, graphic bloody war stories about childbirth. Especially moms who tell these stories to pregnant women!

teaching your child that after counting to 3 or whatever magic number you come up with that there is a consequenc is teaching, Repeating the threat after counting to 3 or whatever magic number you choose and doing it over and over does not teach your child a thing. That is what I meant.
