Where I currently live, kids under a certain age are not allowed to walk to school if they have to cross certain roads. No matter how close they live to the school.

I know where I grew up, a lot changed after a girl was kidnapped (and later found dead) from her bus stop. A lot of people believed the bus driver should be fired for dropping her off when no one else was there and then just driving off. I don't agree with this assessment, however it did change the way the bus routes were done. Kids were picked up in front of their houses and the bus drivers waited for them to come and waited for them to go into their houses. I don't believe this made anything safer, but from the poor bus drivers' points of view, I can see why the change was made.

Science may say it is alive, but science also says it isn't a person. Otherwise, you could remove it from the woman's body and it would still live.

When I saw the picture all teeny tiny on Facebook, I was like "come on, you are really pissed that she let her kid knock over the ketchup bottle". But oh man, was the big picture so much worse. Who would not only allow their child to do this, but also take pictures and make a big joke of it. My kids have gotten some things past me in public before, but I am always absolutely mortified and do whatever I can to clean up their mess.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I just feel like this couldn't possibly be true. A soda? Maybe. But if she threw hot coffee in someone's face, the cops would have been called. If for no other reason than the fact that McDonald's would have called an ambulance for the employee to cover their asses for workman's comp.

Kind of brings a creepy meaning to "New Year's Rockin' Eve".

You can't use the n word until you know the difference between aloud and allowed.

A diaper party is usually held for a pregnant woman who already has a young child and doesn't really need any big items. So they throw a diaper party to help with the day to day stuff, like diapers.

I'm assuming this is some sort of relative, possibly even a sibling. Though, I stopped talking to my sister a year ago, so that's still no excuse.

So what are they supposed to say, "suck it, you d-bag, you're getting Pepsi"? I have no idea what these people are complaining about.

Who the hell has someone start making a custom made anything without first verifying that the fabric is definitely correct? I realize this is missing the point of the post, but really? You ordered something online and didn't check to make sure it was right before using it?

I don't understand why people use cutesy words with their kids. What's wrong with "Did you pee?" I'm even OK with "Did you do #2?" But how is "stinky potties" an alternative?

How dare her friends be congratulatory?!! What horrible, selfish people they are! Everyone knows real life is on Facebook and if you haven't posted it there then it isn't official.

There is nothing clever I can say to this, but I do have question for you, B. Did you purposely make the poo 'stache a "You Might Also Like" suggestion on every new post to fuck with all of us or is it just a disgusting coincidence? I keep trying to pretend like that post never existed, but there it is at the end of every new post!

Toni needs a reality check.

And I had completely forgotten about the "wrong way in the grocery store" lady.

I know this puts me out of the norm for moms, but I've never understood the "parties" for children under 5. I get the whole having them "eat" the whole birthday cake and having the grandparents over, but who else would care?

My son has known how to blow on his food since he was two. I'm not saying he has never managed to burn himself, but he has definitely learned to check before putting food in his mouth.

I agree and my bigger issue is, why the f do these people put this stuff on Facebook? There are things I've done out of necessity as a mom that I'm a little embarrassed about, but I don't advertised it. It's like they are seeking assurance that what they do is "normal".

I, too, was so irritated by that statement about the bottle. If you give your kid a bottle, they will figure out what to do with, they aren't stupid! And if you don't want to give your kid a bottle, so be it, but don't spend hours out at a cafe. Go out, eat, and get back home.

I think it's cute when my kids are screaming at my husband while I'm walking out the door to go to work.

My child has managed to sit through a meal in a restaurant and be perfectly behaved. He has, also, crawled under the table, thrown food, and screamed. It is more usual for a child to do the latter at the toddler stage than to do the former. If your issue is with my use of the term "asshole", fine I'll rephrase. All toddlers are self-absorbed, un-empathetic people. Admitting that and working with it is the first step in removing a huge obstacle to the process of teaching children. If your child has really never acted selfishly or kicked a car seat or demanded chicken nuggets (or whatever their preferred food) or never been given frozen pizza for dinner, then you and your family are far different than many, many families with young children. Why you find any of these things offensive (which I can only infer you did from your obviously snarky referencings of my original comment), I don't know. I, personally, have never met a toddler who didn't act in these ways at a least one time or another. My point is, other people should not be forced to put up with it just because you want to go out to eat at a restaurant. And I personally don't find it an enjoyable meal to have to get up from the table and remove my child should they begin to act in that way.

That's exactly what I mean. They are selfish because they don't have the cognitive skills to be any other way. You can't "teach" them out of what their brains are doing. You work with what they have and lay down a base, when their brains begin to develop the needed skills, then what you have taught them will being to make sense. In the meantime, though, that teaching doesn't have to be at the determinate of other people.
