On my end, I disagree with
adoption
international adoption
people who say they can't cook

I also really dislike SN parents and adoptive parents! I feel like adoption/SN turns them into the kind of morons add pink inspirational email signatures and they are entitled and self absorbed.

OH this is awesome. Too good to be true. I am an internationally adoptive mom of a SN child! AND going back for #2, who will also have SNs! We must drive you crazy!

Not as long as you can pay for all their problems and don't force taxpayers to fund your stupid choices.

Does that create "discord" as well? Surely, you are just here to stir the pot. No one can be this stupid.

What's the benefit to immigration?

Legal immigrants-usually highly skilled/trained. Some make it clear they're only here for the jobs and have a general disdain for Americans. Rather than rely on these workers, why not focus on training those already in the US?

Illegal immigrants-....Don't get me started.

What are your positives for immigration?

Strengthens our country. Adds diversity and a global perspective. Bolsters the labor force.

Are you not descended from immigrants?

No, she is Pocahontas herself.

What an idiot. I think this is the worst thread ever on DCUM.

SAHMs whose kids are in school (Mad Men wives)
Organic everything
Shoeless houses

We wouldn't be friends. I'm a SAHM (youngest in 2nd grade but SN and requires lots of care and has alternate school hours). One child is allergic to pesticides so we go with organic produce. We eat organic grass fed beef, from local farms, because they have better lives (pre-slaughter) and are not full of corn, soy, and antibiotics. Another list of things that child is allergic to. Lastly, we don't wear shoes in the house because I know the list of disgusting places my kids have been. The woods, the lake, the duck pond, near goose shit and all other kinds of scat. I don't want those in my house or on my clean floors.

I know I have special reasons for the first two but most people don't know them. My SN child "looks" normal and most people wouldn't guess the enormous amount of issues involved or the amount of work I put into making him somewhat functional.

I oppose mothers like you. So offended at anything feminine. Why does the color pink offend you so much? "Purposely seek out non-pink colors?" You sound like a hard-faced cold fish.

My son has a variety of colors available for his wardrobe...why not girls?

Oh I was you. The whole anti-pink thing came back to bite me in the ass. I have a 4 year old who only wants pink now. ONLY PINK! She looks like a Hanna Andersson store blew up and all the pink clothing landed on her. She will go naked before wearing any other color. I had to pick my battles. She wears pink. Good luck and may the force be strong with you!

(I did tell her the only acceptable princess is Princess Leia!)

LOL, and I want to know where to buy this "future CEO" shirt!

Cafe Press I think...

I could go on and on. I'm quite judgy, but know better than to tell people!

Ooh ooh, I am a mom who's always worked full time by choice. Do you think it's not really my choice, or that all women should SAH or WOH PT once they become parents? How totally weird.

I know it's totally your choice, that you could easily afford to stay home with your children and don't. That is why I judge. Women who truly must work to cover basic bills, I feel sorry for.

I'm not the above poster, but I actually completely understand this, because I have the opposite view: I am completely disdainful of women who are well-educated and come from impressive professions who give that up to stay at home with their kids. Why would an one choose to give up a fabulous career to stay at home? Women who didn't make much money or had crappy jobs, "I feel sorry for." So I guess it's not surprising that there are SAHMs that feel the same way about us "by choice" working women!

I oppose SAHMs that judge WOHMs, but suck at being SAHM. Some SAHMs are super interactive with their kids, come up with great activities, and were born to SAH. Some just phone it in, yell at their kids, plant them in front of the TV, take them to the playground and surf the web on their phone, and seem pretty miserable. If you are advocating that kind of child-rearing for everyone, then we are going to have a sorry bunch of kids.

Some SAHMs are killing it, doing an excellent job. Those are the ones that should SAH. The others that would rather work should hire someone that will stimuate their kids on a day to day basis, someone that will teach their kids, and that will help them become better humans. The SAHMs that are phoning it in and then judging WOHMs should just shut up. You guys are not doing your kids any favors by staying at home, so don't impose your stupid beliefs on others!

yeah, because your nanny or daycare provider is doing all that everyday. LOL

Can I have some of your Kool -Aid?

Not PP, but who cares if she doesn't want to solely dress her kid in pink princess-y stuff? There's a rainbow of colors out there. And "hard-faced cold fish"? Get a grip.

I have a DD and I'm fine with pink, but I'm with the PP on the princess stuff. I'm sorry, princess stuff just says tacky and low class to me.

I am the OP, and to clarify I do have some pink in my twin daughters' wardrobes but I get disgusted when rack after rack all they have to choose from is one color.

Immigration weakens our country. Enough-legal or otherwise.

Interracial marriages are bad for children. Cultures should not be blended. We can get along, have fun, and learn from each other without blending.

Adoption is buying and selling children.

Women should not be ugly. They should be beautiful. That doesn't mean sexy, but they should keep themselves together.

Men should not have a gut. Get rid of it.

Women are too emotional and irrational to do many jobs.

Male obgyns are perverts.

Most doctors are idiots and should not be trusted.

Juice boxes (for multiple reasons).
Letting kids walk/play and eat at the same time.
Gum.
Religion.
Being fat, or having fat kids (usually these go together).
Anti-vaxers.
Dyed blonde hair on the over 40 crowd.

Yes! I worked for a family back when I was a nanny and they had an annoying ass kid who was whinny and bratty and instead of being consistent with disciplining the kid, all they did, specially the dad, was to say "(boy's name said in a cutesy way), why are you so upset? I'll (whatever the kid was crying about) for you, but don't have to cryyy." Oh barf. I'm sure the youngest one turned out the same way. I loved being a nanny (though I'm glad to have moved on) and I loved all my "charges" except for this one. Couldn't stand him!

Isn't that straight out of The Happiest Toddler on the Block? I showed this video to my husband and he was cracking up. He does the suggested responses with the kids sometimes just for humor and we die laughing.

You were a good candidate for bitch slapping until you played the SN card with your children who had occupational therapy. Now you are the object of sympathy. Either that or take to the SN forum

When homosexuals compare their struggles to that of blacks. If homosexuality became a crime punishable by death how many gays and lesbians will there be. They can hide their homosexuality how many blacks can hide their blackness.
