Annoying moms

[Anonymous]

You never know. In my 20's I had a knee injury (not visible to the naked eye) which precluded me taking the stairs for about 5 years and used to get VERY nasty stares and even comments when I took the elevator.

[Anonymous]

Moms (and some dad's) who:

1) Talk about nothing but their children..and act as if they could care less what is going on in other people's lives.

2) Think that people who do not have kids yet "just don't get it." Not only is this cliched, self absorbed BS...it's very insulting. Trust me Mommy's and daddy's...most people with a brain who dont have kids get that it is really really hard and challening.

3) Alienate their friends and family because they can no longer relate AT ALL to people with no children.

4) Get annoyed when someone who has no kids gives them advice. Again..insulting. To these types of moms I say...NEVER EVER give advice to anyone...ABOUT ANYTHING... unless you have personally experienced the topic at hand. Deal?

Also...maybe try not talking about your kid so much....and you wont get advice you dont want from people who are just trying to be part of the conversation. AND while we are on the subject...be thankful that they haven't told you to change the subject yet.

5) Are so blinded by their perfect angels and perfect parenting skills..they judge everyone else who doesn't do things EXACTLY as they do.

6) Think playgrounds are magical places where kids dont get dirty or hurt. And if another child gets their kid dirty or hurt...it MUST be because of bad parenting.

Moms who post questions on DCUM and then throw hissy fits when they get advice they don't like.

Bitter, child-haters. Moms who shouldn't have kids in the first place. So angry

Because, if you can stand (which you obviously can if you injury is not visible) you should be taking the freaking escalator-- you don't need to talk, just stand there and the magic stairway will take you up or down... Elevator hogging burns me even more when I watch people do it to the disabled in wheel chairs. And, it happens all the time. If you can walk, then take the escalator. If you are to lazy, fat, out of shape, or knee injured to actually walk up and downstairs, you still don't need to hog the elevator.

I wondered if the poster was actually a parent for most of it.

[Anonymous]

Moms who go onto anonymous online forums and say they are happy and proud that they are shockingly ugly.

Passive aggression! I can play!

Moms who go onto anonymous forums and say they are happy about being shallow and vain.

Whee!

Don't think that the poster was a parent - just somebody who lurks on a moms and dads board for some weird reason.

i'm not shockingly ugly. I'm thin and blond and have been called pretty. I just spend my time on things more important than my hair and clothes, which I spent a lot of time on in junior high and high school.

As a woman who had kids late in game, I totally relate to what this poster is saying. It was interesting how many of my college friendships lapsed because once my "friends" started having kids, their worlds became so limited to their children that they couldn't even take interest in what I was doing (international aid work). It was all about them and their families. They couldn't understand why I stopped calling. The ones who did still take an interest in me and what I was doing became that much closer. Now that I've got my own small kids, I'm very conscious of not letting my life be defined by my family status and work hard to maintain perspective, a sense of humor and not being judgmental. Something that many moms on this list should do more of.

Escalators? As far as I know, they only exist in airports and shopping malls. Certainly not where I worked or in most of the places I went during those years.

Hey! I bet you're one of my old college "friends"! You haven't changed a bit! Glad to know I didn't miss anything!

Mom with baby (ahead of me) in the grocery store line who feels it is more important to show her baby every item in the cart before it is placed on the belt.


This is called education. You should be proud that this MOM talks to her child and wants to teach them about the world. If you are that annoyed, go to another line or use self check-out.
