Moms with "secret" recipes |
I love my 800 dollar stroller - it is elegant looking and less tacky than the plastic things at Babys are Us. I also paid a ton for a leather car seat to match my cars interior. I buy my kids adorable Burberry sweaters and Italian leather shoes. I only shop at Whole Foods and don't even look at the price tags. Why? Because I can afford it. My kids go to private school and I also have a full-time nanny, don't work, shop and go to the gym and my husband and I eat out at least 3 nights a week. Do you hate me? I don't care - I have a pretty nice life. ![]() |
If that's the case, count me in. I didn't use my stroller for more than a couple of years, and for me $400 a year to push my kid around to the park is just not worth it. I make my children walk the mile and a half to the park and back. They need that exercise. |
Its fun. I find it annoying when a mom who did not have a career but a string of entry level jobs which she didn't take seriously, stopped working once she got married and hubby could pay bills, and then talks about how she chose to sacrifice by not working to stay home. Nothing wrong with staying at home at all but don't make up sacrifices. |
Moms who have never used a nanny or daycare but feel the need to present themselves as experts and share horror stories with expectant moms. |
I am so glad I didn't act like that when I could afford it. My DH was making $300k a year, and was downsized. He has been out of work for about seven months now, and we have been living off our savings. If I spent money like that, there is no way I would have been able to live worry free like this for so long. I am so glad we were realistic about the "what ifs" and saved for the rainy day that came before we expected it to. |
Not sure if this is real, because I seriously doubt there are people who would actually write this whether the "facts" are right or not, but in case it is - I don't hate you at all (I've never met you) and whatever works for you is fine with me. I did want to let you know though that those Italian leather shoes are not so good for the development of little feet. So you may want to consider Stride Rite instead. |
Parents that keep their kids in the $800 (or any price) stroller instead of holding them more often.
Parents that have a huge 4 or 5 year old stuffed into a stroller! LEARN HOW TO WALK!!! Ugh - I see this all over the place. |

If this is a real post, I certainly don't hate you because you're wealthy. I have lots of weathy friends. I hate you because you're arrogant. ![]() |
Parents that keep their kids in the stoller more than holding them.
Parents that stuff their huge 4 or 5 year old into a stroller. People - teach that kid to WALK! |
Oh please. If you live in the city and walk everywhere, your child will need a break. I think that sitting in a stroller in the fresh air is way better than driving your kid around in a carseat all day. Watching DVDs in the back seat probably... To each their own. |
Agree - I would rather have my kid in the stroller than in the backseat watching DVD's! By the way - those DVD players are annoying - good for a long trip (we have used oone) but what a bad habit to get your kids into. |
no wasn't me, I am the "mean mother" look for the best looking kid at the park, the one with all the friends, smiling laughing having a good time, not scared to death some whinny mommy is going to make her give her toy up, b/c she knows her "mean" mommy isn't going to let it happen. |
Stop reading it then-it is very entertaining and hopefully most readers on this thread are not taking any of this personally. We need posts like this so we can vent and have a little fun. |
