[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When teaching my toddler animal noises, I taught her the chicken sound and motion from Arrested Development. She does it every time now. Judge away, it's hilarious.

I judge people who put bow headbands on baby girls. Gender is a social construct and no baby wants crap on their head.[/quote]

I judge parents who try REALLY hard to impose their humor on their kids, and then CONSTANTLY demand that people watch how funny their child is, and not a damn soul thinks they're funny.  Arrested Development was never that big, and has very few people who would get this reference.  So you're just further isolating your kid.  It's ok, yours probs won't ever move out of the basement anyway.[/quote]

Um, I knew exactly what the PP was referring to.  I think you have some weird chips on your shoulder you might want to explore.  You are REALLY bent out of shape about this and criticizing a person you know almost nothing about in a really random and specific way.[/quote]

Probably they put bows on their baby girls and took it personally/ retaliated. I put bows on my girl occasionally and got a little sensitive over this post too lol. I just think they're cute! Life is short and having a baby is hard and it makes me a little bit happier. Also, I don't like when "gender neutral" means "not feminine". Sometimes I put my baby in a navy sports onesie and she looks like a "boy", sometimes I put a damn bow on her head and she looks like a "girl" amd neither one is better or worse. When she grows up she can tell me exactly who she wants to be and what she wants to wear.

I guess that's the one I get judged for lol.

DP but oddly I agree with the PP that nobody else understands lol.  I feel like a lot of people I know from sporadic random places in life, like I volunteered with them in high school at the hospital, or otherwise people that I randomly crossed paths with - they do exactly what PP was talking about.  For example... This girl that also worked bussing tables with me 10 or 14 years ago, was a very quirky and kind person.  We are still friends on fb.  She has kids, and all of their names are from some cartoon that was out that she and the other kids in band loved... when we were young?  Like Happy Friends or something?!?  Anyway - so her 3 kids are all named after that, and they always dress up with shit from then.. Idk anyone else who would get it, but I asked her haha.  I have some quirky cousins and other random people like college freshman roommate, who do that same thing.  Like name their kids after arrested development, or only do halloween costumes that are themed on star trek or some shit nobody else has ever watched.

I judge parents who shove snacks at their kids 24/7. We always have snacks when my kid asks for one but I never offer them. I have one friend who shows up everywhere amd immediately opens up her "snack bag" (yes it's a separate entire bag) and starts handing them out, unprovoked. Drives me insane to the point of sometimes turning down plans because I don't want to deal with my older daughter eating a dozen snacks in 2 hours. [/quote][/quote]
