Yeah. I think the YIO flame is a huge stretch. If you don't like her, fine, but flaming her for calling her kid a kid is just silly, IMO.

They are relentless. I've done that, and they still ask, "But why wasn't it funny?" Gah, I'm not your FB laugh track. Other people thinking you're funny, is not based on whether or not, I think it's funny.

[QUOTE]"Kid" is so much more offense than stinkbutt :) Seriously, I don't get the "kid" flame.  Is YIO's child a kid?  Yes?  Okay then.  Why does it matter?  It's not like she was calling it "<strong>The spawn that Satan put into my uterus."

I also had a coworker that called her fetus a parasite.  That made me laugh.

My CW calls her son "Her fatty". "Ooh, look, there's my Gordito."
Makes me want to scratch my eyes out.

And FTR, I never flamed her for calling her kid "her kid".

[Deleted User]

The only issue I have with "kid" is that it reminds me of my dad's girlfriend, and when she says it, it sounds like a brush-off. Like, "oh, those are just the kids. We don't need to give them names. They don't matter." But that's a personal thing, and it entirely depends on the tone in which it's said.

With YIO, though, I figured from the beginning she just didn't want to share that kind of personal information. It's one thing to give details about yourself, another about your child. I get it.

That is so horribly fucked up. I want to kick her square in the box and then rip her fucking hair out. What a cuunt.

I have a lot of stupid friends of FB, so I posted this:

sucrets (at the risk of sounding pretentious) wants to remind her mom friends that car seats and thick/puffy coats don't mix! Dress your child in layers and a fleece and cover them with their coat or a blanket. Thick coats compress in an accident and make it like the straps are extremely loose.

If you're wondering if you have a good fit, put your child in the seat with their coat on and tighten the straps. Then take them out and put them in without the coat. If the straps are way too loose and your child can escape, then it will... not provide any protection in an accident!

I hate to sound preachy, but I care about all your kids!

It blows my mind that people don't do basic research about safety products for their kids.

I think YIO is a lot more chilled out than she was a few weeks ago, atleast she isnt as in your face as I recall her being. She has handled herself well and I cant say I give 2craps what she calls her kid or not. Call him shoe, for all I care.

He's a little chubby (aren't most babies??), but he will develop a complex at some point, if she doesn't knock it off. But of course, I've never birthed children (although I raised 2 boys until they were 12), so, I'm not in a place to mention it to her.

I'm naming my next kid Shoe or Cheddar Bob. I can't decide.

I call my ex's little girl "chicken" or "chick a dee" all the time. AM I giving her a complex? Baby chicks are cute, right? I don't think she thinks I'm calling her a coward. 

I'd never call her fat though. That's just plain mean. 

Starmusica

I know we've moved on from this but I want to throw my two cents in on JC's spying on her FI's gifts. That REALLY REALLY bothers me! So when she opens in Christmas morning- any "surprise" is a lie. I dunno- I mean maybe I am lame but I wouldn't even tell that small of a white lie to H. I can't look him in the eye if I am being dishonest and he's the same way. I didn't finish reading her thread but I wish she'd just tell him. I feel bad for him! My H is gone on business for 2 days right now and in the last hour, THREE packages arrived for him. I know at least one is my gift but I am not looking. I stacked them up and left them for him. I didn't even shake the box or anything. We are adults people... snooping is for 6 year olds!

Posted by betrothed123[/QUOTE]

Absolutely, it's my own issue. That's why I said it was a personal thing, and that I never thought anything about YIO saying it. I just meant that hearing "the kid" reminds me of dad's GF, and depending on the tone it can sound kind of like a brush-off. But on an online forum? I totally understand not wanting to use names or anything.

And 'kiddo' seems much more endearing to me, but I'm not sure why.

I have a grievance with emilyinchile's "go to my fb and like this photo so I can win a contest" post on E.

I don't mind her, actually I think she's really nice, I just think she could have kept it to her FB friends.  That and the fact if any rando came in and posted somewhere about asking people to help her win 200 bucks she'd get flamed hardcore for it, and the post would probably get deleted.
