I mean, this is actually a really common opinion among UMC professional women. I doubt it's only "one or two" awful posters in the preschool forming saying this.

Carters and Target are useful because they're cheap and kids stain or outgrow their clothes so quickly but I wouldn't call them high quality clothing brands.


NP. And?! You think a child is to be held "responsible" for what brands the adults choose for them? At the very least, call the kid's parents "trashy," don't call the kid trashy. Or just dony be a shit person at all.


+1 it takes an especially insecure, disgusting, type of woman to call a child trashy. I remember there was one public school teacher here (so not even rich) who mocked kids dressed in “cheap clothing” and asked why they couldn’t buy used Hanna like she did.

I think Hanna is ugly anyway.

But are you going to call the preschoolers who wear Carter’s or like Frozen “white trash?”

No of course not. But when the topic of clothing brands come up, you shouldn't b e surprised that Carters/Target aren't considered nice brands that the typical UMC DCUM poster wants to buy.


Target capris and long pants are literally the only pants that fit my 8yo DD's skinny waist/butt and long legs. Some of us buy clothing that fits and don't care about labels.

I point out stupidity in all forms. If you are railing against "fat mom's" who don't exercise, I'll take you down a peg.

It’s like...do you even know how the internet works?


DC Urban Moms and Dads


You’re an annoying poster. Plus you don’t understand how the internet works.


+1, this drives me nuts. Childless people care about local issues, too. And plus there are lots of people who don’t live in DC on here.


+2. By my count, there are 21 child-related forums and 32 general interest.


But how the heck do you end up here to begin with? That’s the bizarre part. Morbid curiosity about a parenting board?


Infertility forum?


That one makes sense.


But no one seems to consider it as they coldly talk about how people with no children seem weird for being here. I wanted kids. I came here when we were trying for them to get information about daycares and nanny shares. Then after several losses moved to infertility, then once my marriage fell apart, relationships. Now I am mostly in the non-children related forums. You smug marrieds with kids don't own the internet or even DCUM. Whew. I feel better.


There are plenty of forums for all those issues. That said, as long as childless people stay on their lane, I have no problem. It's the childless aunts who come into parent forums criticizing the parenting of their brothers and SILs that ruin it for everyone. There is a childless aunt on her crowdsourcing strategies for parenting stuff and I'm just like...the hell are you doing? Get a life.

Anyone who cites Popville as a source.

Though then I can easily write them off as a low-information person, and probably a racist too.

That person is my favourite DCUM poster. 'Biker' makes me giggle every time I see it because I just know that a quarter of the people on the thread don't know the person is mocking them.



I can’t stand the Biker poster for exactly this reason. It’s clear the poster thinks they are making some hilarious joke about people in the name threads, but I can’t figure out what it is. That some people suggest kind if ridiculous names? That’s true, but the names aren’t ridiculous to them (it’s very subjective). I never think “oh, good one.” My reaction is always “huh?” And because the post in Every. Single. Name. Thread. I get tired of it fast.


Yes. People who mock people who don’t realize they’re being mocked aren’t really funny at all.

There are also certain boosters of brands like Hanna Anderson that grate.
