    Those Baby on board signs are ridiculous.

    Can you imagine the emergency services NOT checking a car fully to make sure they had rescued all passengers?
    "No boss, we did not see the kid - did not bother looking in the back seat as there was no BOB sign".

    Does. Not. Happen.

    I think "overbearing parent hater" is more apt. It's not a babies fault it's the spawn of morons.

    I'm going away this weekend and going to a gig next week so I was putting away money so that I'd be all set. I've just had to dip into my "just in case" money for an emergency and now I don't have any "just in case" money :(

    Are you packing everything in a bag with Justin Bieber on it?

    Edit: Sorry about Justin case, that's dreadful, even for me

    I have relatives on FB that are driving me pure mad at the moment with a constant stream of drivel about their kids/grandkids. I mean, they're lovely and all and it's nice to see a cute photo and see how big they've got and all that but...EVERY time I log on there is what can only be described as a Hallmark binge and purge on my feed. The grandmother is the worst. Keeps referring to her kids as "daughter 1" and "daughter 2" and her grandkids as (you guessed it) "granddaughter 1" etc. So a typical post might read:

    "I am so proud of my beautiful daughter 1 who turned 25 today. She is an amazing woman and I am so proud of the mother she has become. Grandson 1 is ten months and 6 days and fourteen hours old and he is the light of our lives"

    ...and the next day

    "I am feeling so lucky. I have two beautiful daughters (1 and 2) and the most amazing grandchildren. They are the best grandchildren in the world and I feel so lucky to have them. My daughter is the best daughter and the best mother in the world. Feeling lucky"

    etc.....

    And her daughter (daughter 1, lest we forget!) is the one who documented her entire pregnancy and birth and first two years of her baby's life on FB. First, there were half naked "bump" photos, then every "milestone" had to be documented. There were constant smart árse posts about breastfeeding and one liners about cows in fields wearing blankets and Rihanna not being asked to cover up or something... plus updates about baby yoga and baby sign language, why you shouldn't give your child sugar, why you shouldn't give out to your child if he has a tantrum, why you should keep them strapped to you until they are 14 years of age..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Do these people lose their own identity once the kids come along? It's not the kids faults either. I like kids, I can't wait to have my own. I'd be devastated if I couldn't. But I'm not going to lose my identity and start living vicariously through my children's daily achievements...

    Go to Facebook post, click the little arrow (or V-like symbol) on top right, click "Unfollow [person]". That way you don't de-friend them, but you don't see their bullsh!t either.

    Or people who use their kids as an excuse for everything. My best friend is terrible for it. Me and her are both firey, so when it blows up, take cover. But I'll be at her for something, and she'll worm the fact she has a child, thus making her time more precious, into it.
    Doesn't want to do something? "Baby has to take a nap"
    Doesn't want to answer her phone? "Just had baby in bath/baby had my phone/just trying to get baby to bed"

    And that's all fine, perfectly fine, if the baby is in a routine and she doesn't want to disturb the routine, but if she decides to go somewhere or do something it doesn't matter about her nap, or if she has something to tell you, she can call. And she gets so mad when her calls aren't answered because what would I be busy at, I don't have a child.

    The species of Car Reindeer you mention (Automobilus Ownerus Lazyassus) is still common in Ireland this time of year.
    They are known to first shed their antlers in mid January (often found strewn on roads with high crosswinds), but have been known to keep their red nose well into the summer.
    They often also adopt newer types of antlers, such as Leinster or Munster flags, which can extend well past the rugby season...

    Our youngest is due to have surgery on her hip later in the year (no date yet) She requires a small procedure under general aneasthetic. which was due to take place yesterday. Leave booked, childcare for other kids, sorted and when get a call on Monday, with less than 24 hours to the operation to tell us its been cancelled because the surgeon has a 'long list and he is unlikely to get around to her'. So frustrating.

    In short: The HSE

    I'm sorry now but I will never put them on the car. Even if in years to come the crotch goblin begs me to. I'm just going to have to be a grinch about it.

    Stuffy noses. And then even when you blow it, it still feels stuffy.

    Little shít-arse single-spindle computers - particularly laptops - that go off to Muppetland for half-an-hour whenever they're asked to do something substantial-ish, such as shunt a couple of gig of crap from hither to yon. Productivity. We've Heard Of It! :pac:

    Nobody cares if you're gay. I know you just came out to buy some votes for the Yes campaign.

    You're going to take away all the nice cheap wine too.

    I hate you.

    If you are going to push onto the Luas when there is clearly no room, you will certainly not be using my body to help you keep yourself upright and nor will you be brazenly pushing your arm across me, with part of you resting on my shoulder in order that you can place your hand on the rail that myself and others are using because we have placed ourselves in a place where it is accessible to us.
