To teeth - hurry up and grow into my sons mouth already! He's been drooling and rosy-cheeked for almost 2 months now and Monday i discovered a small slit in his gum. Wednesday there was a second slit. Today there is two tiny white caps showing in those slits. All week my son has been wailing, crying his poor little lungs out. So, for God's sake, hurry up and pop all the way up so he can get smiley again - only this time with teeth. Otherwise, why dont you just FLIP OFF!
To cold mornings - you suck. It has been well noted that i very much dislike winter and cold weather in general, therefore i was not impressed with it being -3 degrees celsius when i had to get up this morning. -3 degrees? Yea .... FLIP OFF!
To bragging mums - either those who like to brag about what their children can do, or those who brag about what their children have. I'm all for being proud of your children but you can do that without making other children, or mothers, feel/look bad. It should be more " Look what my child can do! " not " Look what your child CANT do! ". You know? And for those of you who like to think that buying an $80 piece of plastic to help your child learn to sit up makes you awesome.... it doesnt. If you want to spend money on things like that ( and yes, if you havent guessed, i'm talking about a Bumbo ) then thats great, but just because i dont, or cant afford to, doesnt make me a bad mother. For the record, we dont have a Bumbo and my son can already sit on his own - because i sit on the floor with him and practice. So there - FLIP OFF!
To the old man who pulled out of his parking space without looking and almost hit me - i have a baby on board; you have mirrors. Use them, dude, use them. Lucky you didnt hit me or you know what you would have got? A great big FLIP OFF!
Good flips! I completely understand the teething as you know, I hope poor Flynn's come through properly soon! And a Double Flip Off to the bragging mums - I hate that there are mums out there that take pleasure in making some of us feel bad. We can't afford things like a Bumbo either but, like you, we practice on the floor and Piglet's nearly there!
ReplyDeleteWhy we aren't just born with teeth and be done with it is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteGreat flips this week! I remember teething well...that is so not fun. your solace is: "this too shall pass. someday!" :)
ReplyDeleteI should have included braggedy mother in my FFO too. There was a gal on Facebook who wrote this long note about how her 4 year old is playing chess, and how she's worried that she's sending him to our sorry public school because he may be just way too advanced for public school. I want to slap her upside the head.
Great flips! Totally agree about the bragging moms out there. And so glad our teething days are behind us over here. Lori has a good point. But then I was thinking of babes nursing with a full set of teeth. Yowsers.
ReplyDeleteAwesome FFO! Man, I would flip off that old man too! As for the bragging Mommy, I can't stand them too :D
ReplyDeleteGreat flips.
ReplyDeleteThe only scarier thing about old men drivers is, if they are old men drivers wearing a hat. When I see them, I'm all about getting out of their way.!!!!!!
Wow...You're Bumbos are expensive!! We have one, but we got it more for the acid reflux then the sitting up support. Had it been $80 though, no way would I have even touched the thing! I didn't even really want one, but by the time Claire was 3 months old I would have taken a rocket to the moon if it stopped the crying.
ReplyDeleteHECK YEAH girlfriend! I hated when lame mom's would brag to me about their kids and how much more advanced they were then mine (she's 2 now) I remember being jealous because one mom said her 1 month old could hold his head up for 1 minute. Sophie could only hold hers for 5 seconds. What a DUMB thing to brag about! Love your adorable blog!
ReplyDeleteMinus three in AUSTRALIA??? How is that even possible???
ReplyDeleteTeething...never fun!!! I'm with P how in the world is it so cold there?
