Stupid Pet Peeves

When someone emails you a response to a question you asked them, then you respond to that within seconds because they didn't fully answer the question, but it takes them several more hours or even a day before they reply again to that.

Or text.

Let’s go beer for beer tonight! Honors System. I’ve had one Dogfish Head so far.

I drank all the beers last night. ehhh gonna be a long day at work.

If my kid sees the Barbie car (or race car, or fire truck, or any of them) turned into a grocery cart, and we don’t get it, it turns into a scream fest.

So I have to push those awful carts around the store to make the kids happy. Miserable carts.

Holy **** dude, try saying no to the kid every once in a while. And then stick to it. If they throw a fit, go sit in the car with them. It took my kid one time of that happening to stop the scream fest.

It’s about the only thing she gets away with. One step at a time man.

Plus spanking apparently isn’t ok in public, so I can’t do that.

Regardless of being ok or not, it's not really any more effective than several other things that you could do. That said, it's also not the worst thing you can do and it does have an effect.

It sounds like Thunderdome in the Tip household.

Some kids it works better than others.

agree with both of these - it's partly a matter of picking your battles!

but I gotta say, I am SO GLAD those ridiculously oversized carts weren't around when my kids were little - - just the basic standard grocery cart.

Grocery carts the size (and style) of Mack Trucks pushed by a soccer mom who's dumped her five kids in the front "seat", all of whom are loudly arguing over who gets to "control" the steering wheel, while said mom is attempting to push the behemoth cart one-handed while she converses on her phone with the dog groomer trying to decide which dandruff treatment is best for Fufi.


DO NOT attempt to do any sort of grocery shopping today folks. It'll raise your BP to dangerous levels. I did not realize THIS is the holiday weekend!

Haha.. I thought only men are bothered by kids screaming, in malls, supermarkets, public places, etc. Would have thought woman would be more understanding and forgiving of those types of situations?!?!

Why would you think this? In one post you managed to stereotype men and women while simultaneously limiting them emotionally.

Kind of impressive.

I dunno, maybe it's just me but I can't stand screaming kids. Probably just me then not all men.
