Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

Spanish Eyes

And as for young people nowadays well I never!

They never look you in the eye, always looking at their bleedin phones. Or shouting into them.

TA with myself, cos I do the same thing, and still give out about others doing it too.

Bubble wrapped I am.

Heading off to the leaba now for a snooze with my heated blanket. No need to wax or shave for that thing, and that's great! Just me, myself, and I.

I'm older. Need my beauty sleep these days!

But will check in later when I wake up with senior insomnia. It happens.

Prepare yourselves for the future you twenty somethings with all yer trivial annoyances!

In fairness Jaxen Curved Shaver, I hope I still have humor like you have when I am 71!

My mum is 78 and she has been acting 80 since she was 50.

yeah Srameen, you're pretty fly, for an ol' guy

I'm visiting my parents at the moment. I'm a little TA'd by the fact that they seem to be obsessed with documentaries about members of the travelling community. My dad especially. There's always one on when I'm home. It's that and blimmin home improvement shows and Operation Transformation. How do you do the rolling eyes smilie on a phone?

My ears are ringing like crazy at the moment. I'm convinced it's because the landlord told me he was going to fix the smoke alarm today but couldn't figure out what was wrong, leaving me even more hyper-aware of the beeping thsn usual. The alarm in the hallway of the apartment building and the one in the downstairs flat are acting up now too. There's some flaw somewhere, the electrician just has to find it. At least I'm away from that noise for a couple of days though.

It could be the backup batteries in the alarms are beginning to wear down, they'll make that chirp sound intermittently until you rip them off the wall change the batteries.


/good deed for the day, double whammy in one, I'm on a roll!

TA that I lost my appetite for the last trimester of my pregnancy when it's socially acceptable to eat like a pig cause you're eating for two. Nine weeks after I popped out my sprog and I'm eating everything around me. Had two dinners today.

I am TA that I will be dying of a hangover tomorrow morning (I will be too sick then to post that TA here - so getting it in now!).
But on the plus side I am out tonight!

My TA is some other mothers. It's like a bloody competition with them with their kids. Who walks /talks first. Who is a savage little eater. Who is out of nappies first. They can be so judgemental too. I honestly don't give a sh1t how others parent their children, as far as I'm concerned we are all trying to do our best for our kids, and whatever gets you through etc. I have been burned in the past with a couple of other women thinking that their child's sh1t didn't stink, and it's probably why I don't have a close friend who is a mother. My best friend has no kids. It TA's me at times, as it would be nice to talk to another mother without getting the feeling that she was delighting in something you were finding tough.

The cheeky little git seemed to get a LOT better once we made the decision to stay at home.
In fairness he is happy just watching TV and keeping relatively quiet whilst I am on calls etc.

So many are going to extremes to 'big up' their little ones in front of other mothers, and track it all on social media.
I think many mothers are actually afraid of saying how tough it can be in fear of appearing of being a bad or weak mother.
I personally know of one or two who appeared like the perfect mother to everyone, but behind the scenes they were struggling a lot. (I know their partners, and they tell me the real story!)
If only they'd just be honest! We won't think you're bad, we'll only think your normal!!!

All my best friends have kids, it's horrible.
One uses her 2 year old as an excuse for everything.
One is actually grand and not a baby bore at all.
The other one?? "Baby had an explosive poo" here's a fun fact, apparently you can feel a baby ****ting if you have it on your knee, I did not know this and was quite happy not knowing it. "Baby is drooling, I think he's teething", "baby missed me so much he smiled when I walked into the room", "baby is on his 3rd outfit of the day, and it's only 11am". Now I don't reply to excessive baby comments and she lures me in! Could not be bothered. Listening to all the talking about how breastfed babies are more cared about, or how his poo got up his back, or how he vomitted in her hair. Like on what planet is that an acceptable conversation? How does anyone even think that's remotely interesting?

The only funny kid related poop story I've heard is from one of the women I work with.
"Mammy I did a wee out my bum"
"What? You don't wee OH NOOOOOOO!!"
:pac:

Ok, I am not going to try to defend your friends. But most of the time when someone has their first baby then it does take over their life and everything becomes baby-centric. Absolutely everything. And the baby is so important to them that they want to share every ****, puke, giggle and tooth with the rest of the world - especially these days with social media and what not.

What they miss though is that most other people could not give a rats ass about them having the kid. Sure, show us a pic once a year to show us that Little Trigger is still alive. But lets leave it at that.

That's it 100%. I just can't tolerate fake behaviour. What these women seem to forget is it's best not to look down on or criticise another's child. You never know what your perfect little darling will do next, they are unpredictable little buggers ! I have no problems in saying mine are driving me up the wall, won't eat their dinner, or keep me awake half the night. That's life ! It's a pity women couldn't be more understanding of each other, and less bothered with trying to look perfect.

Lexie, that's a nightmare! I love my kids, but to be perfectly honest, I'm not crazy about others most of the time. One girl I know is constantly on FB putting up photos, or "thrilling"us with the latest cute sibling moment. Then when you meet her in the street, she tells it to you all over again, like you didn't see it. Aaaaarrrgghh!

I completely agree with that T, so it should be. But -- I don't care about babies taking a ****, and it baffles me to think that anyone would think that was ever acceptable to share.

My favourite person in the entire world is my best friends two year old. I would do anything at all for that child, even change a poopy nappy - now that's love. I wouldnt do it for any other kid. But, she suffers real bad with constipation. I was minding her one day her mom was at work, she went toilet, and then when I told her mom she pood, do you know what she asked me?? "What did it look like?" For serious. She thought that I opened up the nappy and took a good look at it's contents. Wtf??? I closed my eyes, got most of it off without having to see it and then stuck her under the shower to get the rest of it.

And they LOVE sharing birth stories. Friend one had her baby with no pain relief, it was too late to give the epidural, and they had to CUT her.
Friend two and three both had emergency sections after induction went wrong. One baby ended up being moved to the neo natal icu in holles street straight after, and the other one flatlined and my friend couldn't see him for like 7 hours after he was born. How terrifying are all those births?? Like it wouldn't put your mind at ease if you ever found yourself in the position of having to go through it yourself.

When you become a parent, you immediately become a poop inspector. It's one of these strange skills that has lied dormant for your entire life and is suddenly awoken.

My kids are at the stage now where they close the door when they go to the jacks, I'm always trying to follow them in to have a poop snoop and they go mental at me.
