I'm really glad that the vaccination stuff is getting heated. I think parents who don't vaccinate should have to interview elderly parents that lost their children to diseases that are preventable today. We can lose our babies in countless horrible non-controllable instances - preventable deaths shouldn't be one of them.
babycaps, I agree. I drive a manual and don't have traction control and I find that helps when driving in bad weather. The roads were awful here yesterday and I got around just fine. If you know what to do and don't overcorrect and keep your speed reasonable, it's all good. I actually find it fun.
My UO: Driving tests should be much harder and there should be a rule that once you have a certain amount of tickets/ demerit points you should have to do the written and driving test again.
The DUMP claims to have deleted my account and say they "can't delete my content". WTF? Sorry, that's more of a rant.
My UO: Driving in the snow is really not all that bad if you know HOW TO DO IT. AWD helps, of course!
If I was driving right now everyone's life would be in danger! I freak out and start sliding bc I lose control and start hitting the breaks. So my butt stays put in house for a solid week until it melts! Which is why we went somewhere everyday last week.

I hate driving in the snow. Hate it. I live in MN...
That said, I know HOW to drive in the snow, my main problem is people who think they should go 60 when we just got 2" of snow over packed ice...sure, you feel fine...until you have to stop. Jackass. I see more AWD / 4WD vehicles in the ditch because of this. AWD helps you get going, and maintain traction but does nothing to help you stop on ice.
(I drive an AWD vehicle too, I'm just not an idiot about it).

Not sure if this is a UO or not but I feel like just because you are a grandparent does not mean that you are entitled to see your grandchild, it is a privilege.

I don't think this is a UO here...
But I do think that most grandparents should get to see their grandkids, and most parents should remember that they will be grandparents some day too so modeling how that relationship looks will impact what part you play in your future grandkids life.
That said, obv. some people are just crazy or toxic & shouldn't be around your kids. Grandparent or not.
My MIL has limited access to my dd because she won't listen to me. I have no problem with this because I also believe it is a privilege for her to have access. Don't listen to my rules, don't see my child unattended.

Yeah my in laws are not allowed to babysit LO and I don't feel bad about it at all. I will never leave LO with someone I don't trust, wether it's a family member or friend.
I don't like Chipotle. There I said it. I always think it's going to be good, it looks good and fresh but I'm always so disappointed. It is tasteless no seasoning, how can it be so underwhelming? I never go there, but my office occasionally has it in / catered. I guess my O is U here!

I agree with this. I go out of my way to make sure that my parents and MH's parents get to see LO. I have a respectful relationship with them all and agree that it is important to model good behaviour for LO to see. That is why I am all about talking things through rather than yelling or getting nasty. I truly feel that isn't productive.
I also consider LO to be my responsibility and so I have zero expectation of grandparents doing any form of childcare. When they do watch him it is within parameters that we are all comfortable with. Ex- my MIL doesn't think it is necessary for kids to wear helmets on trikes. I have filed that one away in my mind and when the time comes I will re-iterate he needs to wear a helmet, if she still disagrees or refuses to follow our wishes then we will just have visits when MH and I are also there.
Big negative on wearing make up everyday. It's the same reason I don't do accessories. It just takes up too much time where I'd rather be sleeping.
I'm up every day at 7 anyway so it doesn't take time from sleeping. I usually do my makeup with linc on my hip haha
I have to be at work by 7. It sucks. We get up at 4:50 because if we don't get on the road by 6:00 we won't make it to work on time because of traffic.
I'm trying to imagine doing it with Layla on my hip. 1) I'm not good enough to do it one handed. 2) I'm pretty sure she'd be trying to help me decorate my face.
