Re: Um was there a DD?
I did that after a personal attack. I like kids and think they are adorable. Do I want one? Hells no! The yuck was referencing how gross that are to take care of they poop, drool, make messes with their food. To me that is yucky! I would rather work 100 hours than take care of children.
You have a valid point here. Politics is a touchy subject for most people.
Cats. You made a joking post about how we need to get back to work. I joked back it sucks you have to work so much.
You replied yucking my kid.
This is akin to someone joking your shoelace is untied and you laughing back that boy, it sucks their mom died in a house fire.
If you really, really think it is OK in any way, shape or form to go after someone's kid when they make a work hours joke in a work-related post talking about how everyone needs to work more and be on the Nest less, then wow.
In conclusion:
And kindly leave my kid the fcvk out of your attacks in the future.
I can take snark. I can dish snark.
I'm not low enough to call someone's kid yuck, or a pregnancy eww.
That is reserved for people of the lowest common denominator, of which cats has now proven herself.
Wow! You really do not let things go, do you? Everyone is different! I think taking CARE of a little one is gross. It is very unappealing to ME. To each his/her own. Some people do not mind wiping a baby a#s, feeding it, cleaning drool, getting peed on burped at, spit-up on, answering questions, dealing with occasional behaviors, taking it to school, here and there, dressing it, answering demands..."mommy I want, I need". I think kids are cute but having one does not at all appeal to me.
You guys were personally making fun of me for working a lot of hours. Acting like you are "better" than me that you do not need to work as much. To me, that was a personal insult.
I did not say yuck to your kid specifically. I think raising kids in general is gross. And, yes, to me giving birth in general is eww....
Well, your last sentence is very insulting to me. Because I personally find kid stuff and giving birth gross I'm a person of the lowest common denominator? Oh ok....
I have nieces and nephews who I Iove dearly and had no trouble baby sitting for them, playing with them. It's just not a lifestyle I want. I'm far from selfish or a low-life, I'm simply not a kid person.
I must have missed it. I think your kid is cute. But she had posted a few weeks back on money matters about how she doesn't understand what people see in kids. so i'm glad she doesn't have kids because she would be a bad mom.
Y'all are just misunderstandin' catsarenice. You totally read her words wrong.
Dummies!
Believe me, nobody here is upset that you are not procreating.
All your wombs disgust me, biitches.
ALL YOUR WOMBS.
REPORTED!
Please tell me that "reported" was TIC and not for realz.
Can you please re-phrase what you typed? Thank you!
...well dang, I miss everything fun. That's what I get for disappearing for 36 hours to go on a baseball adventure (go Orioles!). *pout*
What I got from this thread:
-in addition to being a secret Muslim who attends the church of a fundamentalist Christian pastor, Obama is also gay?!? That's unfortunate, since the US Constitution forbids gay Muslim-Christian fundamentalists from being president.
-Cats doesn't have the time to engage in conversation, but has plenty of time to read threads and express her enthusiasm for her recurring mentions, as well as start threads and later delete them.
-your kids are all gross. My kid is already gross and won't even be born for another several months.
*makes mental note of the level of yuckiness to which my life will soon devolve*
sucks I've blocked her.
Thanks Lexi! A lot of the quote trees got tldr.
All I really noticed was that JustAPhase got reported for what I can only assume is being too awesome. Fair point, cats, fair point.
you are great at cliff notes:) just fyi, be prepared if you want the nurse to bring out the mirror so you can see your kid come out. and lots of baby blow outs are going to be a common phrase in your home. kids may be gross to some people, but it's funny, once you have the kid none of this is gross and you actually get excited when you pick that bugger from your kids nose or stick your nose up in their diaper to smell for poo
So true I love getting a big bugger out of DS' nose. There is nothing more rewarding than clearing his nose. Make sure you invest in a Nosefrida snot sucker.
Lol. Truth. But I refused the mirror. I remember being asked and there was just no way I could have handled it. Though there are times I am curious what I would have seen. I honestly don't think my kid is gross. I mean, I'm sure she is to other people, but you are absolutely right, it's different when they are yours.
I get excited for poop, no lie.
Nosefrida=best baby purchase evar.
cats, I'm still waiting for your thoughts on Romney's bigoted religious practices. I asked you about this issue weeks ago when you tried to make the claim that Obama's attending a church that espouses a philosophy that African Americans shouldn't be discriminated against was racist, and even provided links at your request. Surely if you can find time in your very busy life to hunt down weird-ass youtube videos and delete threads when it becomes clear that you have no valid argument, you can take two minutes to answer my question.
Oh, and people disagreeing with you doesn't constitute bullying. If you're so dismayed by the tone the conversation takes on this board sometimes, you could just...stop posting here. Your choice to continue coming back is on you.
And LOL that the tone is so negative because the board is full of women. (By the way, this attitude makes you a misogynist.) Go head over to 4chan or reddit sometime and see how the "gentlemen" there interact with their fellow human beings, especially those of the female type.
