It is so hard to get strollers through department store racks and tables. They are too narrow! [br
This! I accidentally shoplifted bc of this :0 I noticed when I got to Starbucks inside the mall. A little blue boys polo had hooked itself onto my cart while in Baby Gap. Come on! That store has no excuse.
Yes, I have shoplifted as well. Since car seats don't fit in shopping carts, I have to put his car seat in the actual basket. I stole an onion from the grocery store. It rolled under the car seat.
Ok so I just got home from target and what is going on with the damn handicap ramp "rumble strips" of raised bumps. (They're usually yellow.... Am I explaining this right...? Is it an ADA thing?) they're everywhere now and wake my sleeping baby up every. single. time.
Yes they are an ADA requirement. My husband installs those stupid things all of the time. In California there are going to start ripping them up because people are now suing stores and cities because they are going over the bumps, falling and getting injured. I.e. Skateboarders welcome to California, the sue happy state.
I'm a horrible person, but I look at people who spent way too much on things like strollers and side-eye it a little. I didn't really pay attention to it until having Brady since it had been so long since I priced them, but I definitely notice people who spent $400-500 for a stroller now. I just think it is a waste of money, but that is my opinion. If you have the money, do you. I just can't justify that.
I have that when people dress their LO in really expensive clothes. Cummon, they wear it for a couple of weeks, does it really meed to be a designer brand?! Or when people have impractical and expensive babyroom decoration. a friend of mine has an expensive white changing pad cover. Her LO ruined it within a week. such a waste IMO...
Haha i have 2 Ralph Lauren outfits that are Los "fancy" clothes. Presents thugh. They are pretty cute but I would never spend that kindof money on clothes for him. Once I'm done with gift cards his clothes will be coming from once upon a child. That is when his grandma's tire of getting him things. I usually am stuck getting boring clothed like pants.

Yeah, they are an ADA requirement, to alert blind and visually impaired people that they are approaching a hazard (say, the street) or drop off.
I got a kick out of your comment because my LO likes them; the vibration helps lull her to sleep!

yeeeeh of course a few are just fine, especially when they're presents, but I know someone who refuses to buy anything that isn't from a top line baby brand, and they are definitely not in the financial position to do so. She openly shunned me for buying stuff from (our equivalent of) target for Jake

Ooooooohhhhhh that makes sense. I couldn't for the life of me figure out the real world application. I wish it would lull him to sleep!!!!!

Gotta love people who think their baby is better because of a little lable on his/her clothes

We have about 10 onesies that are in rotation now. My DH keeps telling me we need to go shopping and get more, but I tell him that he doesn't need that much because he isn't in daycare. We are avid target and consignment sale shoppers. I'm not going broke trying to have a baby fashion show, especially since he pukes and poops on everything.

Yes! We probably have 30 onesies that were hand me downs. We can't even go through all of them. And H keeps telling me we need more clothes for the toddler. Nope. She has plenty. MIL buys so many clothes for our kids. We end up giving some away with tags still on them.
Team target and children's place here. I just bought him 10 onesies at a sale, didn't think I'd be buying him clothes so soon. DS was born in premie size and now he's wearing 6-9mo stuff. There were so many items he never got to wear with his big Buddha belly, chubby arms and thunder thighs. What a waste, I bought him tons of 3-6 mos stuff thinking he'd hang out in that size for a while. I blinked and he grew.

I'm the queen of the outlet for dd. once she's in a size I start planning for the next one. See what we have and figure out what she needs. That and sale racks at oldnavy and jcpenny. Usually maw maw wants to know what she needs too.
Plus on the clothes front, now that its super hot i have him hanging out just in a diaper most of the day if we are home, so I need even few clothes Then again, that might mean i need more clothes for me because his clothes won't be there to stop the poop.
Like the winter ones? Or the sheet ones? And what's wrong with the toys?
Anything in between the child and the restraints can alter the speed and distance which the restraints are tested for. Leading to neck and other injuries. Toys attached to the car seat can become projectiles in a collision. Also those sun glare things can become a projectile. Same goes for seat protecters and mirrors.

We have toys on our carseat but for stroller walks. I live in the city and everyone uses their strollers all the time=lots of toys on carseats. I take them off whenever we get in the car.
How damn tiny/short I really am. When I hold DS, DS always seems alarmingly huge to other people; but when DH holds him, people don't ever make "omg, he's humongous!" comments

How so many people still treat your body like public property. As if the belly grabbing wasn't bad enough for so many months, now people analyse how much weight I've lost. Someone even asked me if I had #2 already in there! (I had to use ALL my maturity not to make a poop joke back at her. It was hard )
WittyLittle agreed. I am lucky enough to have lost most of the weight already but it is still so awkward when people comment on it. Just stop talking about women's bodies already.

misshart00, I live in Holland. I guess people are just very direct here! I've also had "Oh! You're back!" while staring at my stomach :S very uncomfortable coming from a 50+ year old man. Yich!

Where do you people live? I've never gotten a comment on my post baby body other than "you look great!"
I'm with you. No one has had anything to say but wow.. She's only xx old and you look great.
(Except for my aunt who, when I wasn't even cleared from the doctor at like 4 wks, asked if I was going to lose the baby weight... I replied um.. Yeah I already have and since I haven't yet been cleared by a doctor to excersise, I'm ok with being back to that thank you! She's always been a nervy one)
I've had people look at me up and down, stop and by stomach as they are asking me how the baby is.
I hate that changing tables are placed in the large/handicap stall in public bathrooms. This one lady went into the big stall, leaving the still stall vacant. That lady was in there for over 20 min, I waited and waited with a crying baby, she never came out. People that were walking in were even asking me if they could help. Grrr. I ended up changing the baby on the icky floor...with a not so good knee. I almost screamed when I got back up.
I wear the baby when I go for groceries. I learned fast...putting in a 4 year old in the seat part, car seat in the basket part and no room for food makes for a horrible shopping trip.

When someone does that, I change them on the sink. Sorry not sorry.

I would have if I could. It was at Panera and they didnt have a counter, only just a sink. I was so mad. I even said loudly "I guess the changing table is the big stall!!"

I guess they put the changing table in there for privacy. But it's usually a bigger inconvenience than a help.
