Doesn't she realize that my 51-month-old ds has never been out of my sight for a moment? That it's traumatizing for a child to have anyone care for them other than their SAHM? He needs to sit in my lap at the head table while I make the toast! It will be so cute! The wedding is tomorrow, should I tell her I can't participate?

I would just show up with your precious angel and have him sit with you. She'll be tickled pink that you thought of doing this (probably embarrassed to ask becasue it would cause conflict wth the other parents). It really doesn't matter what she thinks anyway because she obviously did not give the situation a whole lot thought. She'll think differently when she has kids. At the least, it will be a great experience for your darling angel. Make sure her photographer takes a ton of photos of him. Esp. in the family shots! It is absolutely darling to have a little guy in a suit in photos. How precious!

16:55 you ignorant slut.

PP, your sister is a self-centered, thoughtless, bitch. Absolutely tell her you can't participate. And also tell her that as far as you are concerned, she is no longer an aunt to your dear child. I think you may be able to get a stay away order from a court to that effect. By the way, is Supernanny really that super? Can I get her number?

I was wondering where those pot brownies went.

I need daycare starting next week - does anyone know a daycare that will have availability then? TIA!

Things that were an absolute waste of money:

1. $75,000 SUV - totally the wrong color - what was I thinking?
2. $4000 of Jimmy Choo shoes - Jimmy is SO OVER - and clashes with SUV which I park as close to the grocery store as possible so that I don't get my exercise spandex dirty.
3. Third Child - definitely not going to Beauvoir.

To "we're all moms here" - your sarcastic tone wasn't wasted on me!

Perhaps you, like I, are just too smart for this crowd?

On 3, do you mean you are on the wait list? Don't give up hope. They haven't returned my calls either. There is a scandal a brewing, ya know. People are going to leave that place in droves, like rats off of a sinking ship. Pass it along. See you atop that Alban hill in September.

Can I ask which year you applied to? Pre-K or K? And is your third child a boy or a girl? BTW, are your other children at Beauvoir? And was there a sibling preference?

Any diversity in your application? Feeder preschool?

New to the site. What's "bump" mean?

You poor women. Nothing to do with your time other than sit around posting your feeble attempts at humor. Do you really think you are funny? Get a life.

My baby just had a BM that was yellow and curdy, which is normal because I am BF'ing. But it also smelled funny, so I tasted it, and it is definitely not normal. I told my DH and he said it tasted normal but the texture was definitely grainy. Should we take him to the ER? My baby, I mean. Thanks!

See, now, you've gone and ruined it. No gross things like tasting. The first one said it smelled like pear. That was funny.

PLEASE!!!!!!! People!

Please use the OP as your template if you're unsure.
