Confession/UO: I judge women who say things like, "I gained 60 pds when I was pregnant. I wanted cake, so I ate cake." FFS, take care of yourself and your unborn child. There is NO reason to gain that much weight, but don't let me hear you biitch when you can't lose it all after the fact.

Technically, I gained about 57lbs, and although I gave in to some sweet cravings here and there, I mostly ate like textbook healthy. The reason for the excessive weight gain - I was making about twice the normal amount of amniotic fluid, and they have no idea why. Just sayin...it happens in 1% of pregnant women and there is nothing I could have done to prevent it...but it is a reason. Back to your point though, if someone uses being pregnant as an excuse to eat whatever they want in however large a quantity they want then complain about looking fat, ya I can see some judgement being passed there.

Another UO - I don't really get why everyone is judgey of smokers. Maybe it's because my husband is a smoker? But I just know the circumstances under which he started smoking, and I've seen him try time and time again to quit. it's an addiction just like anything else, so it's not fair to be judgmental about it.
Honestly I find being super judgey of or to hate smokers to be one of the most hypocritical things ever. When I hear someone go off on how dumb/terrible/gross, whatever the person is for doing it, I just think PLEASE, like you don't have a vice. You can dislike smoking all you want, but seriously back the fvck off the actual smoker.

I understand this, but I don't like smokers when they impact me. If I'm out somewhere that I expect to be around smokers, I'm okay, but people who have no smoker courtesies kill me. My ILs puff like chimneys, and don't care who is around: me, young kids, pregnant women. And it drives me insane. And I understand how hard it is to quit, but her doctor told MIL that if she didn't quit smoking (or at least cut it back to half a pack a day) she could have a stroke serious enough to kill her within the next 5 years. MIL hasn't even TRIED to drop the habit or cut back. And that's just plain stupid.

There is NO reason to gain that much weight, but don't let me hear you biitch when you can't lose it all after the fact. Also, I hate "elective c-sections." I understand c-sections are definitely necessary sometime - but if you're doing it by choice, you've lost a lot of my respect.

Oh - and I judge parents who let their little boys have mohawks. They just look like little douchebags.

Oh goodness, I have something to say in regards to this. First off, I agree that being pregnant isn't an excuse to eat whatever you want. However, there IS a reason that you gain that much. I gained 55 lbs and good majority was swelling due to my blood pressure issues. I was so insanely swollen my skin looked like it was going to rip open.

Also, my son has a mohawk. That is how his hair is naturally growing in and he does NOT look like a little douchebag.

All I'll say is that in central-PA monster-truck-loving county where I live... little boys don't just have mohawks because they grow in that way. It's a whole culture of douchebag here that love to shave mohawks on their little boys heads and let them run around with toy guns and kool-aid mustaches.

I could care less what you see in PA. The fact that you would say or think that, is pretty effed up. No matter what a child looks like, they should NEVER be associated with the word douchebag or any other similar word!

"Effed up" or not - everyone judges eveyone - including kids. And it's not a judgement on the kid so much as the parenting. And I've been around kids that have attitudes and act like little douchbags - no one can deny that. You gotta call 'em as you see 'em.

... because, ya know, toy guns and kool-aid mustaches are the eptiome of douchebag.

I still wouldn't be proud of either on my child.

rach83 · September 2011

I'm going to chime in on the pregnancy weight gain thing...even though this thread is probably dead and no one will read it:)

I don't think you can really say "X amount of pounds is normal pregnancy weight gain". I don't really think there is a "normal", and different women gain for different reasons like Zane and Kmo mentioned. Unfortunately, you can't always control how much you gain during a pregnancy, especially when circumstances out of your control dictate what happens with your body.

Now I understand if you're saying someone just eats fattening fast food everyday and overindulges...ok, that's different. But I don't think it's right to judge someone who has gained what you feel is "over the normal amount" of weight.

Diamond_Doll · September 2011

I don't think you should judge people for not having "normal pregnancy weight gain," because as we've seen sometimes there are medical reasons beyond your control. But, I do agree with what I think was tela's original point in that eating constantly just because you're pg is disgusting. A lady I work with sat around and ate cookies and gummy bears and stuff non-stop and gained like 75lbs. That's not healthy for you or your baby. I also agree that the whole "eating for two" excuse is bull.

When babies like Weston have hair that naturally grows into a mohawkish shape, I think it's adorable. When parents send their children to school with a mohawk that is clearly shaved at the sides and spiked, I judge. I judge people who let their kids wear rap or heavy metal t-shirts, shirts that say words like "idiot" or "moron," things with guns or bombs, anything that's just inappropriate for kids. We had a kid were a tshirt with the word "COCKS" on the front to school. It was for gamecocks, of course, but come on parents. Your kid is 6. There's something said for sheltering them a little bit.

YouandMe912 · September 2011

Wow I'm a failure according to Tela. I gained at least 50+ lbs (idk for sure bc I stopped looking) and Nate has naturally spikey hair that can look mohawk-ish. I most certainly didst just eat all I wanted to. I had no medical reasoning why I gained so much. He was almost 9lbs. I still have about 20 lbs to lose but ya know what, most people don't notice. Also, I had 3 sips of champagne on our anniversary while pregnant and for new years. GASP!!!! I'm obviously a horrible mother who is apparently a fat a$$ with a douchebag 5.5 month old.....

just thought of an AW - a girl that I've recently become pretty good friends with told me the other day that she hopes her future children are as well behaved as Ellie. *swells with pride*

I think that's one of the biggest compliments you can receive as a parent. Nice job, Ames!

mrs pH · September 2011

Someone should probably pull the stick out of her @ss and step off her pedastal before she falls and hurts herself.....

I guess my DD is a douchebag, too.... Poor girl's hair is falling out on the sides so the top sometimes looks like a mohawk. I always thought it was cute... but I guess she's just a douche.

Tela, nice job insulting half of the moms on this board. You are right that children's behavior reflecting their parents... I can only imagine how big of a "douchebag" your kid will be.

Not in the Central PA that I live in.

Thanks Nat!

so yeah, I agree that Tela's comments are out of line. Women gain weight for all kinds of reasons, pregnany or not. And no sweet baby should ever be classified as a douchebag.

but, as they say, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Don't act like I'm the first woman on this board who has insulted nearly everyone by acting like my opinion is superior than everyone else's.

YouandMe912 · September 2011

Tela- I can't wait until you get farther along and gain more weight than you expected. Unless you were already overweight to begin with which makes sense why you think 30 is ok bc you should only gain 10-15 if you're overweight. Judging by you're bouquet post I can see why you think 30 is more than enough.

Yeah. Because THAT makes it okay to insult someone's baby.

pennstated912 · September 2011

UO - I don't understand the obsession of Missoni for Target. There. I said it. Why are people freaking out about this?

AW - We close on our house on Friday morning! I'm officially in meltdown mode, but am really excited to finally have our own place!! We plan on having everything painted by Monday.

Vent - Just found out that the refrigerator we purchased for the kitchen isn't going to fit, so it's back to the drawing board. Sort of freaking out right now since now DH is concerned about money and is thinking that we spend the money (my dad gave us a gift) on something OTHER than appliances and our current ones are from 1962.

Also, if I ever physically see someone leaving a Dunkin Donuts/Starbucks cup - whether it is empty or has liquid in it - in any receptacle other than a trash can, I'm going to see "red" and not responsible for my actions afterwards. People have been leaving them EVERYWHERE in my store (I've found some in the clothing racks, on the floor, and hidden in the cosmetics department). This is NOT acceptable. THROW. YOUR. CRAP. AWAY. /vent

Confession - We just got a Starbucks in the store and I LOVE IT. I feel like I'm being unfaithful to Wawa.

Whatever: DH suggested tonight that we take a cooking class to celebrate our new house. I thought this was a sweet idea

I agree, Rach.

On the opposite end of the weight spectrum. I eat healthy, I take supplements and follow a plan discussed with a nutritionist. My body just has trouble gaining the weight. I'm not on a diet and I exercise regularly, but I don't over do it . I certainly don't starve myself. And you know what? My baby is growing and healthy, I am healthy and my OB said that everything is just fine. I'm 28 weeks along and have gained maybe 7 or 8 pounds total? As long as the baby is healthy, I'm healthy and OB isn't concerned, I won't be either.

I bothers me when people judge pregnant women for their weight gain, or lack there of. If a mother eats horribly and doesn't care about her health, that's a different story - but 99% of the time there is more to the weight story than eating like sh!t or not eating at all.

FTR, baby mohawks are adorable, on purpose or not. I've never met a kid that was a "douche" -- that title is usually reserved for the parents.
