Long fake nails when you have babies. I just don't understand this. How does Kylie Jenner do it?

Kylie Jenner has other people doing 99% of the parenting.

Breathtakingly inconsiderate to try to save a little money and expect more from teachers. I had a few this week and it really made me question why I even teach if the parents don’t value education enough to see the mixed messages they are sending their kids.

And without fail, these were the parents who were SCREAMING that their kids needed to be in person or they’d simply DIE in 2020-21.

Are you seriously still spouting this line? School closures were a disaster for kids and 95% of people recognize that at this point.

Yawn. Get a new line. It’s 2023. This one is tired and stale.

DP. Probs not to the thousands of missing students or the ones experiencing the 10% increase in teen suicides. You sound like a monster.

Suicides nationwide were DOWN in 2020 when most of the closures happened. Try again. Zzzzzzz…

And happens to be true.

Nope. It’s a tired, overplayed excuse from ridiculously privileged parents (who were not minimum wage Walmart cashiers in danger of losing their apartments) who checked out of parenting during the pandemic because they were Big Mad that they thought 30+ hours a week, THEIR children were SOMEONE ELSE’S RESPONSIBILITY.

The mom who still forces her kids to double mask but appears to work from home so she never experiences the discomfort of two tight KN-95s for 7 hours a day. The kids come out and immediately chug water--must tell them not to drink very much at school.

Similar: letting very small child on scooter or balance bike zoom ahead out of arm’s reach toward intersections.
Leaving babies alone sleeping in hotel room w monitor and having drink in lobby.
Not bothering to clip car seat straps properly (loose, twisted, falling town, low clip)

yes, yes, yes, yes!

the parents who don't care if their kids get covid, claim that masks harm children, and then don't test or keep their kids home when they get sick

Stay confused I guess, because this is the new reality.

-Indulging picky eating. Within reason, fine. But cooking whole separate meals, no

-Having more kids than you or your marriage or your finances can handle and then complaining about it! I am not talking about poor women with limited means here, but house-poor upper middle class dual-career households.

1. I have a friend with picky eaters who comes to parties with her own food for the kids and cooks it there, in the host’s kitchen. That’s insane, in my opinion.

2. 100% you know how they say “house poor”? “Kids poor” is much more common.

I’m fine with breastfeeding in public as long they cover up. I don’t want to see other women’s breasts in public unless I signed up to go to a nudist beach.

Putting your kid in every activity you can find and then complaining about how busy you are.

Not drilling down on manners when kids are young and then acting confused when other kids are better behaved than them, as if they magically popped out that way.

My gosh! Breastfeeding didn’t success for so many of you, apparently! Such anger!

I’m so grateful I had the wisdom to not worry about women like you while I nursed each of my babies for two years.
