My H recently got a 96 Suburban. I can drive it fine, it's parking that I have an issue with. So if I have to drive it somewhere, I just make sure to park at the back of the parking lot where there are no other cars.
I drove a suburban for a summer in college for work - research job where I drove around the state and collected samples. I got good at parking it but it took a while! And until then I had my partner get out and guide me.
mightybee I think we're going to find out this time, and I really want to have a party with invites that say "SEX" in huge letters and then "reveal!" in tiny letters underneath.

I don't get mad at kids 4 and under for hitting/biting. Ya if it happens everyday or the teacher is legit ignoring it okay. BUT kids get mad and kids hit or throw things. Is it a great thing? No. But no parent means to raise a biter or hitter. Does it suck to see my kid cry? Ya, but I don't cause a huge scene. Shit happens. We can't always keep out kids from every single bad thing.

I got over my issues with kids biting in about 3 months after mine started doing it. I realized it's something almost all of them will go thru at one point or another.

There are so many factors. Gage is usually not a hitter but his bff was in his face a couple weeks ago. He asked him numerous times to "go away " and his mom, my bff , warned him and he kept at it. G hit him with a toy golf club to get him away. Was it bad, yes, but G kept asking him to get out of his face. I was mortified but my friend didn't make a huge scene. I bet these things play out like that a lot and teachers/parents are hovering like crazy people to see it until all they know is x hit y.
Gender does not equal sex. You find out a baby's sex at an A/S, not whether they will identify as a male/female/other (gender). Maybe a sex reveal party would sound too risqué?
Sorry cookiesandwine! I like never call people out here or in real life. This one must really get to me! Haha...I'm so PC!
I know, I know..... J15 majorly gets their panties in a bunch over this. Flame away but I just can't get behind the idea of a SEX REVEAL.
I guess I have a real UO then....... I love driving large vehicles. My parents had a Ford Excursion when I was learning to drive so it doesn't phase me at all. I can parallel park like a ninja too and make fun of H because he'll drive around forever just to avoid parallel parking.
I learned to drive on a 1990 grand caravan so I can parallel park also like ninja. Part of why I'm not so worried about driving something bigger than my rav-4 if we end up doing that soon.
Fun fact: I always pictured myself driving a pickup truck. That will be my midlife crisis buy
I don't like the chocolate chips that are in chocolate chip cookies. I like the non-chocolate dough part (though I like chocolate in general). So I choose the cookie wiith the least chips. My H once made the cookies without the chips for me. I rejected those as well - so not the same.
I do this too! My DH swore I was the only one.. wait until I get home and tell him he was so wrong!
I was so excited to see xanthepants, post that I quoted before reading the others.. Now I have even more proof that it is not weird! Take that, DH! lol
I don't like it when children use the correct names for their private parts. I don't like the words penis and vagina in general but I really don't like it when a 4 year old says it.
I am SO not PC, mightybee! Hope you will still be my friend.
Edited: I went to take out an extra word and accidentally tagged summergirl a dozen times.. the quick tags are handy unless you get finger happy. lol
mrsrek10 I will still be your friend. I hope you'll let D slide for saying penis and vagina. I'm all for kids using these terms, but I still had a hard time saying vagina in front of him. It was easier to just say "no" when he asked me if I had a penis. Vagina is such a funny word.

What did you teach JA to call them?
I will let him slide for sure. He can't help what his mommy taught him ha! But really, I hope if I ever get to meet him that he and I do not have any reason to say those words!
I really didn't intentionally teach JA anything but he calls his a "wee-wee" and when he asked me where my wee-wee was, I told him that mommy's don't have wee-wees. So, we haven't even gotten to naming the girl part with him. I hope he isn't curious about those again until he is a teenager (or 30)! J/K But, I myself call it a private. I always have called it that. My mom told us (my sister and I) when we were little that it was our privates and that this meant that no one else should see it or touch it. I guess that just stuck with me. I really never even thought about using the "real names" of these things until J12. No one that I know in real life calls them by the correct names. I don't know if it is regional or what..

I don't know that this is a UO but I 100% think kids should be taught the real word. A friend of mine ended up finding out that her friend's FIL was molesting her friend's son because he used the correct words. It may be uncomfortable, but it's anatomy. I also think it sets kids up to think those words are funny or have shame towards those parts if they don't say the right word. I love you mrsrek10 but I completely disagree with you on this. I even make Tyler's teachers call it his penis. It's not a bad word, I don't want to set the precedence that it is.

How is that situation going? I thought about it a couple days ago.

The last I heard, the grandfather was in jail and confessed. I don't know if it then goes to trial or what happens. But he is behind bars and will hopefully stay there for a long, long time.
