I think crocs are dumb.I am annoyed that since the weather is getting nicer I am starting to see them more. They are fine around the house or the garden, but they are not proper Mall attire. Also, it makes me mad when I see kids on the playground with them. They don't provide support and fly off and cause the kids to fall down more than they already would. They are just dumb and ugly.

Crocs ARE dumb. I like to remind people in the spring that crocs are really stupid looking, and in the fall I like to remind people that leggings are not pants. 

LOL dh and I don't care for them either though he is much more adamant.

And I quote: "just so you know our kid is not wearing crocs, just because they are little that does not make them cute they are just dumb on a smaller scale".

Sorry croc lovers.

Crocs are dumb. They are garden/pool shoes. How have they made their way to every day wear? Irritating!

I think it's such a double standard that people find it acceptable to comment on how small or "anorexic" a person looks or say things like "they need to eat a cheeseburger" but would never think of doing the same for someone overweight.

I think your DH may have just gained some points in my book despite not thinking you are hilarious. 

We sent out a 'no crocs allowed' letter to parents when I was working at a preschool. We got tired of the kids falling all over themselves, and having kids in tears because they lost the stupid charm things in the sand. Parents were up in arms about it. You would have thought we told them that their kids couldn't wear pants to school.

I really want to spend Mother's Day with our mothers, but in an ideal world I'd sleep in and just lounge around the house while DH made the meals for the day. Instead we're running all over the place all weekend and I think I'm making the food for Sunday's Mother's Day brunch.  My body says slow down, but my calendar does agree.

I got two gift cards for Christmas, one for Melange and one for Vinology.  DH is a super picky eater and has no interest in going to either of these restaurants and told me "just use them with your sister".  I know it's not a huge deal but just pisses me off that he wouldn't consider going to a restaurant for a FREE meal on a date with his wife just because he doesn't think he'll like the food. 

He is crazy.  I will HAPPILY go with you!

If you could take off the leggings and be decently covered in public, they are fine. If you take off the leggings and I can see you underwear, you're wearing them as pants, and you are wrong. 

This exactly!

All of my high school age nieces do this. I don't get it!

Leggings saved my life this PG though. A$$ fully covered.

Mailing out MIL's Mother's Day card really pissed me off.  She's a bad mom and a bad grandmother.

I was the bigger person and bought her a grandma card, but I wouldn't sign it or send it out.  She sucks!  I feel your pain

While I have picked up on a few helpful tips from the bump, I think it's mostly a breeding ground for mass hysteria.

If he doesn't send it out in tomorrows mail, I will save it for my mom next year. 

MIL was crazy again yesterday.  She now wants to go visit LO at day care and just sit there and play with him, and wanted to know the codes to get in the parking lot and building.  We pay them good money to keep her crazy butt away, and he's doing good there, we don't need that to be screwed up because she is a looney lady.

THIS times 50!!!!  About 2 months ago, I got my wisdom teeth out and lost a lot of weight because of the dry sockets that followed.  Also, I started running with DH, therefore keeping this lost weight off.  MIL repeatedly has said to me "you need to put on weight..." etc.  I would consider myself thin, but never too skinny (I'm about 120 and 5'2).  I hate when people think it's ok to make comments that someone is underweight, or to automatically assume they "are annorexic".  I don't assume you need to be in over-eaters' anonomous because you're tipping the scales...

Ok, rant over.

I confess that sometimes I hate going home.  Everyone wants to see us and there never is enough time.  People also need to understand that we have to split time with both families and try to be fair.

Siiiigh. People commenting on other people's weight, no matter what, is rude. People commenting on other people's food is rude too. But whatever.

FFC#4 - I want to be thin enough for people to tell me to eat a cheeseburger. Sigh.

This!!! For me it's up there with getting married and having babies. Mind your own effing business.

Sorry this is coming from a picky eater, my taste is often brought up at the dinner table for no good reason everyone and their momma think it's cool to talk about it.

Well said!

Some people just assume that thin people have a problem. Some have a hard time keeping weight on, same as others have a problem keeping it off.

I can tell you at the moment weight gain is not a problem, lol. However, when some random stranger woman in my building AT WORK asked me if I was "anorexic or something?" I have never forgotten it.  

Who says that? It's like the equivalent of someone overweight being asked when their baby is due.

Are leggings OK in the spring??  Cause I am totally wearing them today.  I don't fit into my normal pants and maternity pants are still too big -- so it's dresses or leggings.  And it was too cold for a dress this morning!

I personally think leggings are fine as long as whatever top you're wearing goes well below your butt.

If you could take off the leggings and be decently covered in public, they are fine. If you take off the leggings and I can see you underwear, you're wearing them as pants, and you are wrong. 

What if she has awesome underwear on?

I confess that sometimes when I'm in a bad mood I go onto the bump boards and make slightly snarky comments at stupid women posting that they know the sex of the baby at 11 weeks already, or wondering if they killed their baby because they ate a hotdog, or a number of other things.  I know it's terrible.

Yeah.  It's true.  Sometimes it's just so hard not to though.  I kid you not, some chick posted a bump picture of herself at like 17 weeks, and asked if we could tell what she was having based on the picture.  Everyone was like "Well, I don't know, let me get on my Ute goggles and I'll look through your belly".  I don't even think I responded to that one because it was just so maddening.

I think because I'm anxious to find out the sex next week, (and obviously just to see baby again and hear that everything looks good), I'm highly irritated by people that think the "angle of the dangle" guess at 11/12 weeks is highly accurate.  I mostly flame those people.  

I'm mean.

Oh yeah, I also confess that I ate a chocolate brownie for breakfast.  It had lots of chocolate frosting on it and was delicious.

In my defense, I didn't eat "breakfast" until 10:30 so I suppose we could consider that part of an early lunch? Perhaps my other confession is that I didn't wake up until 10:00 to begin with.

No you're not - on my month board I swear the same question is asked every four seconds.  It's maddening.  Some of these questions should be directed towards their doctor - not random internet people!  I had a girl tell us she found out she was pregnant at 2 weeks - she didn't understand how that wasn't possible.  Amazing how she got pregnant in the first place.

LoL. Yes.  Those are some of my favorite posts too.

"DH and I are really excited since we were only trying for 2 weeks." 

I confess it also annoys me when women kinda ***-foot into the tri boards like "Can I please come over?" or "Do you mind if I post here?" like they're gonna get burned alive if they post a day early.  Just move on over to the damn board and post away.  Now I really sound like a whore.  I blame the hormones.

My FFFC is that I think Crocs are completely acceptable-looking for kids. And certain styles are even okay for grown-ups. :::GASP::: And, I own several pairs and so does DD! :::DOUBLE GASP!:::

Another FFFC is for those people on message boards that think they NEED to be the experts on certain topics--any topic--and give negative opinions or unsolicited advice. ANNOYING!

And to agree with a few PPs, the Bump is f*cking annoying.

Whew, that felt pretty good. Maybe I should do FFFC more often.
