Well I hate to be a nosey nelly, but when your conversations on on a speakerphone that I can hear from 2 rooms over I can't help but listen.
I love the irony of a parent ranting about someone else's kid who's 6 years old on a sippy cup that let their own kid sleep in the bed with them for 11 years every night...
What's the most laughable parenting thing you've heard of recently <Wait till Min get's his Christian parents brainwashing their kids out of the way first>?

I regard religious indoctrination as child abuse, Tacky. Nothing at all funny about brainwashing children.

To me it’s kidless people trying to tell me what I’m not doing right.

I knoew you wouldn't let me down min
yes Jack, I agree nothing like a 30year old with no kids that's been doing childcare all their lives as a way to fulfill their need for children, telling me how I should parent my child and that I'm not changing diapers the correct way.

ARE you changing nappies the right way?*

There wasn't a right way. You did it good enough or you cleaned up the mess afterwords. My kids survived to adulthood and I never cleaned up poop off the floor from them, not from pets... unfortunately their diapers are too expensive to be prudent.

Lol I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but I actually agree to this very much. People thinking babysitting is the same as parenting is naive, if you ask me.

I detest those strangers you run across in public who say, 10 times in my earshot "that's the LAST time I'm going to tell you....."
Yeah. Right.
And the ones who think the toy aisles at Walmart is a great place to let their kids run wild while they shop elsewhere in the store.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?
