You must always carry your stroller up the stairs, because you seem to have missed the big NO STROLLERS sign on the escalators.

This mom poster annoys me. Everyone draws the line somewhere, I suspect you don't give your kids alcohol or something else. People just draw the lines differently which is their decision. I can not understand why some mothers feel compelled to challenge or worse intervene in whatever the other mother has decided. You "had to break her arm" and you felt so passionately that her kid must have soda or ice cream?
I have a SIL who doesn't give her kids sugar. I have never felt the need to force a cupcake on them. I don't feel superior that I give my kids cupcakes . I do not feel insecure that her choice not to makes me a worse mother and I must change her ways to redeem myself.
I have a no fast food rule. I don't believe human existence or a happy childhood means someone has to taste a Happy Meal. My kids don't miss anything and they don't know what the big M offers. Works for us and its fine if other people want to eat this. I hope I don't encounter moms who want to hold me down while they cram a cheeseburger down my 4 yr olds throat.

Oh I forgot to add- "somebody woke up on the self-righteous side of the mattress today"
