We often call our toddler (in public) Stinky or Stinks (ex: She starts calling for me on the playground and I say, “hi, Stinks! I see you way up at the top of the slide!)and we do it because she had so much gas as a young infant.
I STILL call my son Stink or Stink Man. He's 9.
I hate you. I never think anything to do with butts is cute. I don’t want to think about farts or poop or hear about it. I like to pretend we are all robots from the waist to the knees.

Ok, it's fudgsicle. If you're going to say it that many times at least do it correctly.
Fudgcicle, fudgecicle, fudgecicle, fudgecicle, fudgcicle, fudgecicle, fudgecicle, fudgecicle, fudgcicle, fudgecicle, fudgecicle, fudgecicle...etc. I'm sure with your superior cognitive and grammar skills you get the idea.

If you dress your kid in Cleveland Indians or Redskins gear (super common at our preschool) then I assume you are either racist or clueless and I don’t want to know you.
I drink. I don’t care if you drink. But if you make “mommy needs wine” jokes or talk about putting wine in sippy cups or have shirts with alcohol jokes like “Rose all day”, we’re probably not going to be friends.
My kids don’t have allergies, but if you roll your eyes about safety precautions for kids with allergies in our kids’ classroom and act all put out that someone else wants you make a few small changes to keep their kid safe, then I assume you are a selfish bitch who probably texts when you drive and doesn’t give a shit about anyone else’s kid but her own.
100% agree with all of this!
I disagree that a kid who wears Redskins gear comes from a racist family.

So are people just not allowed to root for those teams? Is no Redskins paraphernalia acceptable to you? You must be loads of fun.
I'm not the PP, but yes, that's right. They need to ditch their "mascots" and I AM tons of fun, TYSM! I don't hate those people, but no, I don't like it, and it puts at least a bit of distance between me and them.

Please keep right on doing that! I do and will happily continue using words like boobies and "littles" as a noun, because a) I'm a grown-ass woman, who could care less about insulting someone's delicate auditory sensibilities; and b) as a general rule, I prefer to spend my time around people that judge each other on more substantive stuff than word choice. Larla tosses poppies into traffic as a family-bonding exercise = not someone I'd choose to befriend. Larla is a sweet person and we share many interests, but she pronounces "door" as "doah" -- I could give a flying fudgecicle.
PSA: it's COULDN'T care less. Think about it - if you could care less, then you would. I'm totally fine if people don't want to be my friend because I corrected someone's grammar.

They may not verbalize the phrase (while using it on social media), but IME are the ones who constantly say things like, "that's the difference between boys and girls!" or "he's all boy" or "girls are so dramatic" or some other such nonsense. Enough, already.

The judgment on this thread is insane.
It's not a matter of perfection, it's a matter of preference. Just because I don't want to be friends with someone doesn't mean I think they're a bad person. It means I don't want to hear them refer to their husband as hubs or papa, that's all.

Along those lines, I can't stand it when women refer to themselves as mama, like "this mama is so tired!" Those same people often call their children "littles." They both drive me crazy for some reason.

Are you for real? Have you discussed your beliefs with your pediatrician? Are your children ok? There's solid evidence that your child will be sadly delayed if you neglect their development before age three. Are you really not aware of this?
I’m not the PP, but gimme a break. We ALL KNOW how important brain development is in young children, the previous poster isn’t informing it in their own child, he/she just finds the people who drone on about it obnoxious. This is not appropriate playground small talk.

Actually, I can guarantee you that these are the popular moms with more friends than they need.
Nope!
Yes. And you know it. They were the funny, popular girls in high school and they are the cool irreverent mothers now.
They're the mom who turned down a playdate invite from a new family in town and now says "We have more invites than we can handle!"
