Oh yes on bows and headbands on babies.

everytime I see this on a newborn I think the baby must be thinking,"what fresh heck is this? I'm done with the head squeezing."
And I know someone who had this on her baby every. single. day.

My baby had a large hemangioma on her head. It was either the giant flower headband every time we were out in public or every single a-hole stranger anywhere we went literally walking up, TOUCHING MY BABY'S HEAD and saying "what is wrong with her?".

I thought staycations are actually staying home, no hotel, but taking time off to enjoy your local area.

You really think people only drink alcohol to get a buzz?

At a minimum. I guess you drink to forget?

Forget what?

I drink things that I enjoy. I wish it didn’t create a buzz actually.

So Irish people aren’t “normal people?” Weird take. Some of us want our kids to have meaningful names and not just what seven other kids in their class are named.

I don’t understand the flight thing - do you just not go anywhere that requires a long flight?

I'm astounded that people actually limit their lives by refusing to get on a plane for more than X hours or refusing to make a connection. There's a whole world out there and it isn't always a direct flight from DCA!

My kids are 6 and 8. We don’t go anywhere that isn’t a direct flight, preferably DCA. I am not interested in worrying about making a layover with slow walking kids, getting stranded and having to spend endless hours in an airport entertaining them, or generally schlepping more than necessary. When they are a bit older, we will go more adventurous places. People act like such martyrs over vacation “with kids it’s a trip, not a vacation.” Nope. I’m paying, it’s a vacation, and I am going to have fun and relax by reducing unnecessary complexities.
