I hate public restrooms without paper towels and a pull handle door to exit. Cause ya know some nasty mofo didn't wash their hands and grabbed that handle before me and I just washed my hands!
Seriously. I know it's better for the environment, but a bitch needs a paper towel.
Or the little foot thingie so you can just use your toe to pull the door open, like at Ikea

Every public bathroom everywhere should have the little hook on the door to hang your purse/bag/jacket/WTFever on while you pee. Nothing is worse than having to balance your purse while you pee &/or help a potty training child pee
Every public bathroom should be designed so I have to touch nothing at all. Everything should automatically dispense, doors should automatically shut and lock. And maybe someone is there to clean the seat after each asscheek touches it.
Yes. Then maybe we wouldn't have the hover people peeing on the seat.

My UO is that I don't understand the obsession with no one seeing how much you weigh. As in the actual number. It's just a number. I care more about people seeing my fat ass in a bathing suit, than about the number on the scale.

I don't think I should have to get a pat down if I opt out of the full body scanner thing at the airport because I'm pregnant. If I'm wearing my outside baby in a carrier they send me through the metal detector. Why can this not apply to carrying a baby inside my body?
I don't think public restrooms are that disgusting. But then, I believe the whole world is covered in a thin, invisible layer of poop molecules and there's only so much I can do about it.
I do too but sometimes I worry I'll be changing his diapers in college though. My main concern is that I feel the pressure. He will be able to start preschool next year, IF he is potty trained. I really want him to go to preschool. Otherwise, I don't mind diapers at all!!
That's the only reason we got around to potty training. And it was hell for a few months. But he beat the deadline. No accidents at school.
I think it is absolutely ridiculous to buy a 16 year old (new driver) a practically new car. If you are going to buy a car for your child, give them a beater to crash the hell out of. Cheaper on insurance too.

I was somewhere in the last year or so that had automated seat covers. Like as part of the automatic flush, it sucked in the paper seat cover and pushed out a new one.

When DH and I flew this weekend, we argued over who got to go through with DS in order to skip the scanner. It's just whichever parent happens to be holding the kid's hand when the agent notices you, so it was like musical chairs back and forth while we put things on the conveyor belt.

Newer cars have better safety features, tho.
That can also create a false sense of security. Put them in a car with no air bag, no seal belts, no doors, etc and see how careful they are (joking of course, but you get the gist)
I don't understand the photo shoots of 6-12 month old girls with a tutu and a string of pearls and a fancy headband. It's not vulgar or anything. It's a baby. I just can't figure out what it's supposed to be. That ensemble doesn't exist anywhere else.

these pictures make me thankful that I am the mom of a boy.

but ridiculous why? My main concern with my child's first car is safety during a crash. I'd buy them a single seat bright red tank with a flashing light on top if I could.
I don't really want my kid driving around in some hoopdy without antilock brakes and power steering.
I'm not car junkie but didn't ABS and power steering become standard in like 1985?

That's kind of my thought too.
Malcolm Gladwell did a piece about ten years ago on how SUV drivers are significantly less save. Because they can be.
DH got lucky. He got his mother's old car but it was a Volvo station wagon. I wouldn't be surprised if she'd planned that far ahead.

Even though I know you are joking, this "gist" is absolutely not the way I will parent. You hope for the best but plan for the worst. When the stakes are a high as your kid's life/future/safety/health then I will take every precaution I can. This is like abstinence sex ed, etc.
Also, better safety features on cars don't create a false sense of security. Higher performance vehicles will not be driven by my child until he can buy himself that car, but I will do everything I can to make sure my kid is in the safest car possible.
Aka...responsible parent. But the point is, you don't need a 2016 sporty coupe for your brand new driver to accomplish that.

My brand new Corolla I got when I turned 16 didn't have ABS. It was the top-model with power locks and windows, but no ABS. 1998.
And I didn't wreck it. Or scratch it. I was required to ferry my brothers and sister every place my parents wanted.

I'm with you on this. Having my kids behind the wheel gives me so much anxiety. They will be careful, responsible drivers or they won't drive. I'm way more concerned about other cars on though. Give them all the airbags and safety features.
