Ever meet a mom whos so smug about the stupidest things?

"My personal favorite is the mom who doesn't know the names of her son's teachers or anything about the research projects her son does. That's because she is a hands off mom and lets her son explore without ever "interfering" and being a "helicopter mom".

Most fathers are like this.

I was attending a Music and Me class with my 3 DC's, and the teacher just randomly played a song and went around the room and asked all the kiddies what they had for breakfast. Heard plenty of yogurts, cereal, eggs, etc....but we just happened to have (gasp!) donuts that morning as a treat. The utter shock and stares at me were priceless.

What the fuck is a Music and Me class?

Hating pink and purple because they're "girl" colors is pretty similar to thinking that all girls must always wear pink, in my opinion.

My child would have said "nothing". He was forever telling people that I didn't feed him. He'd ask me, in public, at 5 p.m. "Are having lunch today?" and with everyone staring at me I'd say "remember that chicken, and bread, and plums, and applesauce and peas we had before we left the house? I meant that to be your lunch." and he'd say "Oh, I thought it was a snack!"

Not the PP, but touché anyway. Lol! I used to date a man who had a then-3 year old daughter. This was about 15 years ago, and the popular color for girls was this deep pink - almost a dirty pink. Anyway, the girl's coloring looked awful with that pink, and I vowed never to dress my own future daughter in pink - rather, I would dress her in yellow. Lo and behold, my daughter (whom I had nearly a decade later) looked awful in yellow, but quite lovely in pink. Actually, she looks best in blue. Lol!

For all the moms who don't let kids have sugar, soda, cookies, candy, ice cream, etc. you are doing it wrong! Growing up, my parents taught moderation and with four kids and sweets as a treat there was no way to over-indulge. My next door neighbor was only allowed juice (when it was ok to give kids), no tv on school nights, no chips, etc. she is now morbidly obese- as in 5'3 and almost 400 pounds. And who was the one giving blow jobs in the bathrooms- not me. Her mom and my mom have talked about it and her mother-a nurse no less- never taught moderation so once she got money to buy the forbidden things, she didn't have an off button. My kids eat things in moderation and they eat all
types of fruit and veggies and love a donut every blue moon. just because your kid has ice cream at a party does not equal
Them being obese!

And pink baby bulimia lady- you rock!!

THIS might be the weirdest smug mom comment yet. Let your kids have donuts or they'll grow up morbidly obese and giving bjs in the bathroom? A venn diagram of this poster's mind would look like a Twister board.
Lady, you are cray!

SAHMs' kids NEVER give blow jobs in the bathroom or become morbidly obese.

(Although I think the male characters aren't as bad as the girls -- the female characters have impossible body shapes and beauty.) I suppose Dora is different...not sure bc my last encounter with baby world was pre-Dora

but disney characters, female superheroes, all pinched waists and ridiculous beauty. eff that.

not sure yet what to replace it with, however!

Umm, your child is only 7 MONTHS old!! Come back and talk to us when he's seven YEARS old!!!!

LOL! Seriously, good luck with that!!!

Not the PP but if you don't own a TV, I think the chances that your kid won't recognize a TV character at a birthday party are pretty high. We don't have one because if we did, DH & I would never talk; once it's on, we just zone out of everything else, which clearly not everyone experiences but for those of us who do, it's not some mommy crusade, it's just a lifestyle choice. PP could very well raise her child without TV. It's not that crazy of an idea IMO.

I call bullshit. For a kid in school, even preschool, you're going to get bday party invitations, go to b-day parties, see lunchboxes, backpacks, be exposed to some character books, see the murals in the doctor's offices, see ads in stores and on billboards . . . unless you live in a cave, your kid WILL be exposed to some characters. I'd even go so far as to say a LOT of the characters. My DD comes home talking about all sorts of characters that we never watch/read/play. It will happen. It will.

Absolutely. I don't have any problem with "characters" in general, but when my dc was in preschool he had never seen the Power Rangers TV show (it seemed a little violent for his age at the time). At Halloween, half the boys were in Power Rangers costumes, and my dc not only knew what they were, but the names of the individual characters. How did he know this? Osmosis.

I had to read the BJ comment twice b/c I could not quite believe it.
