It's Tuesday, can we be judge-y?
- I have an FB friend who ALWAYS uses the word "are" for "our". At first I thought it was a typo, but she's been doing this for the 2 years I have been FB friends with her. Today her status is "This is are last day in Disney." I so want to comment back " *our* "
- I love Adele. I really do. But the pictures of her "smoking" on Pinterest makes me not like her for some reason. I still like her music but I just don't like those pics.
Add on, ladies.

doooo iitttt
I have a friend who is the type that always has comments on others Facebook posts. Its annoying and negative and just makes me want to say something to him about it. (background) yesterday Mark posted a picture of Charlotte I sent him on Facebook- a friend of ours commented that she" just wanted to eat her up" in which he posted a picture of Fat Bastard on his wall and asked why people weren't commenting on how they wanted to eat him up.... if you don't have anything nice to say dont say anything at all. I am honestly not annoyed since it was Charlotte's picture, however, I am annoyed because this is all he posts. I am going to be de-friending him tonight.
Also I have a coworker who literally sits and does nothing. He is driving me nuts. I am stuck with his workload and I have had enough. You might not be smart, but you arent getting any smarter looking at ESPN all day!
I judge people who buy sh!t like this:
I cant stand those. Or anything with sayings involving poor or pee or vomit and babies. It's like -- we get it. You don't need to be so blatant about it.

exactly.
I actually found this gem while searching for Nursing Tanks. Nice job on your categorizing, Amazon. *slow clap*
This is kind of a judge/vent/b!tch session all in one.
I am off this week and went to my friends house yesterday. We had a moment that we stopped talking for a year after the wedding, but otherwise have been friends for like 16 years. Also, a girl who was in our 'group' of friends was there also. Both of them got pregnant at like 18. Also, one has a 3 and 17 month old from her husband and the other has a 21 month old from her husband (both different dads from 1st).
Anyways, I get fustrated and I guess judge because I feel like they aren't trying as hard on their 2nd child. I'm not talking about worrying a bit less, because that I understand, but actually almost letting their 2nd fall behind. My friend lets a lot of things go because she is worried that her older one will have a hard time adjusting due to the newer baby. For example, he is 17 months old and still on a bottle. Also, he doesn't say any words yet. I know kids develop differently, but her attitude is 'I'm not worried about it'. I understand that it is not the point in time yet to have to worry, but I just wish she would work with him more instead of having a 'whatever' attitude.
My 'old' friend has the older kid from when she was a teenager also, and also has a 21 month old. She was acting like she was an all knowing expert the whole time since she has the older boy, 21 month old and 4 teenage step children. I felt like I couldn't even get a word in. Her daughter just started saying words about a month ago. She is seeing a speech therapist because her pedi wanted her to(I think it is a little early), but she has no interest to do things on her own to help her. She was telling me some things she was supposed to do with her, but was "too lazy to" (her words).
I guess I was overall fustrated, because I hate when people have more than one kid and all of the sudden think they know so much more than you. Just because you have multiple kids doesn't mean a) you are an expert and b) you are a good parent. I felt like I was lesser than them for a moment. This may sound bad, but I totally made myself feel better when I watched my 14 month old play better, understand more and have tons more words than their 17 and 21 month old kids.
Since I gave my 2 weeks notice, my boss has been such an unprofessional biitch. I seriously want to call her out for all the shiit she is pulling right now but have decided instead to take the HR director up on the offer for a face-to-face exit interview and rip her a new one (in a professional way, of course).
That isn't really judgy, but this is - she dates the SCUM of the universe, the bottom-of-the-barrel loser thugs. And has 3 kids by 3 different guys, klASSy. The current loser she who fathered the kid she had 2 months ago was supposed to be watching their son while she was at work last week but instead dropped him off w/ a sitter and went to work on his "rap mix-tape". While he was gone, some "friends" of his broke into her house (where he does not even live) and stole EVERYTHING. The normal TV's and what not but also baby formula, diapers, etc. For real. And let her dog loose and they can't find them. At first I felt bad for her and her kids but honestly, it might be biitchy, but I kinda of feel like that's what she gets for dating/associating with such losers.
(oh, and she freely admits that he is a lazy piece of shiit, but still is with him)
O..M..G. Let me know when he gets his record deal. LOL
Stand up for something you believe in.
I judge SIL for being too lax with her kids. Friday night she was making this big to-do about niece's attitude and how she wasn't taking her to the movies like they'd planned. Saturday morning at the soccer game, I asked niece what she did last night, "well I didn't get to go to the movie, but we stayed home and planned my birthday party instead."
Way to go, SIL, I can't for the life of me figure out why your kids don't listen to an f-ing thing you say.
I also judge certain teachers who wear tank tops to work. This is an elementary school. Have some class and put on a cardigan please. Also, you're 60. Let's lose the tank tops all together.
um, not necessarily. Depends on the state. In CO, DV isn't a mandatory reporting occasion. If a perpetrator discloses he/she's going to hurt their partner again, we have to warn the victim. But if someone just comes in and says "my boyfriend beat me up," it remains confidential information. WE can't break confidentiality for something that has already happened, only things that have not YET happened. With the exception of child abuse. No matter how long ago it was, we are required to report any suspicion of child abuse - that goes for all states. But in most states, not DV.
Doesn't change the fact that your BFF does need to get a grip on reality, and a counsloer isn't going to give any kind of objective opinion. And the fact that she's waiting til the end of October is just ridiculous.
im judgey every day. just sayin.
