UO maybe... if you're my cashier, I don't want you commenting on what I'm buying. I got some creepy guy at cvs today that tried to make chit chat about the sleep mask I picked up. Dude. It's because i don't have blackout shades and I can't get back to sleep at 5 in the morning after my son wakes up to nurse because it's too light out. I don't need to hear about how you used to cover your own windows with blankets tyvm. This is why people shop online. 🙄

ellabee weird. The only time I want a comment is if something is BOGO and I only got 1. Derek, the pimply-faced Walgreens cashier, showed me he's worth his weight in gold after he pointed that out to me when I bought a pint of Ben & Jerry's. We've got a good thing going if you point me towards more ice cream!

There is a young teenaged cashier at my grocery store, and he always asks me about my kids. In an adorable way. I'm okay with generic small talk. But yeah, let's not chat about the fact that I'm buying preparation H.
Unrelated, but, someone stuck their finger in A's mouth this weekend. We were at a vineyard. She was crying. And a random old woman walked up and said "aww, she's teething," and proceeded to put her fucking finger in my kid's mouth. I always pictured that if that were to happened, I'd flip my lid and yell at the person. But I was so dumbfounded an surprised, that I just let my jaw hit the floor and stared blankly.

Hi! 👋 jess213 you are a girl after my own heart, I love starting a thread with a gif! Have fun with your running around today. ________________________________ ellabee I used to work clothing retail and I would just comment on how much I loved to stuff they were buying. No thank you to the suggestion of blankets over your windows. __________________________________ judyblume14 I cringe when people touch R's feet or hands. Finger in the mouth, I think I would also be speechless. 😶

Okay sorry in advance for the tldr 😬 My parents went to Jacksonville last weekend for my nephew's graduation. When they came back they brought my 6 yo niece to spend the week until her family gets here Thursday. Well when my parents got home Saturday my mom noticed she was starting to swell, Sunday morning she looked like the stay puff marshmallow man. She called her doctor and they sent her to the ER. Fast forward they say she has steroid induced edema and early stage pneumonia. During all of this I have taken my niece to help out. She has been playing really well with dd and been not much trouble at all. My mom is home now but pretty tired and doing radiation daily which is exhausting. This is also the week my ILs are coming, supposed to get here tonight after bedtime even though mh is working tonight. So I cleaned my house too to bottom last night with the exception of running the vacuum and mopping the hard floors. I also have to clean up/ change the linens in the guest room where mh is currently sleeping. Mh got a text from his parents this morning that they are on the road and will be her at 10 am! 10 am?! He said "why, you weren't supposed to be here until tonight. Megan has her niece and I have to work tonight so I'm sleeping in the room you are going to be in." They agreed to find something to do and wait until 5 to get here. WTF, I just think it is so rude to show up a full 12 hours before you are set to arrive with no notice. So yeah, we were planning on doing dinner tonight at my parents and I might still have my niece tonight so I guess they are just going to have to be along for the ride because I'm not changing my plans due to their rudeness. Sorry I had to get that off my chest and I can't complain to my normal people because that's my mom and my sil and they would both feel bad that I have my niece while dealing with them.

judyblume14, what the actual fuck to a stranger sticking their finger in my baby's mouth. I get pissed when people (negatively) comment on my baby wearing. I'd lose my shit.

judyblume14, I can't handle reading this, a stranger finger in a baby mouth makes me want to die/vomit. Who does that!? ellabee, I completely agree, talk about the weather of something, no commenting! I had a pharmacy chashier ask how old my older daughter was when buying a pregnancy test once and then give me a look.

I'm so sorry for everything you've got going on meeggaannw. That's a lot to deal with. Coming 12 hrs early with no advanced notice is extremely inconsiderate. Vent away, lady! OMG judyblume14, I can't even. Who just sticks their finger in another person's mouth?!

DD1 is in full-blown grandparent hangover mode. She made it through half of the library program, then crawled onto my lap and didn't move until it was time to go haha! She and DD2 passed out in the car on the way home so it's an early naptime kind of day 👍

I was so proud of myself for being awake and lively this morning. Then we got hit with a huge rush and it was just myself and one other person and we're both wiped out. Today was a poor day to wear heels. My legs are crampy and my feet hurt. I'm just gonna sit over here in a puddle of self-pity until after lunch. Speaking of which...I have no idea what I'm going to have. Hmmm...

meeggaannw, That's a whole lot of nope I'm hearing. WTF. I'm so grateful my ILs live in town so that I don't even need to worry about that being a thing to deal with. judyblume14, What the actual fuck??? I don't care who you are, who thinks that's okay?????

OMG, meeggaannw, hell no to your in-laws That's incredibly rude. Further, your mom has been through a lot. That sucks that you have to have two extra people tag along when you visit your parents for dinner. Fuck that. How nice of you to take your niece for a few days. I hope you mom is feeling better.

Omg what is with people? Nope to cashier's talking about personal stuff. Nope to in-laws coming super early. Definite nope to people sticking fingers in my baby's mouth.
Funny story one time in college I was talking to this guy at a bar and he stuck MY finger in his mouth and lick/sucked it. The look of pure horror on my face 😭 luckily I had my best guy friend with me and he straightened that guy out pretty quick. But so gross!!!

Oh man, agreed with everyone else - there is SO much WTF in this thread. (Trigger Warning) RE: the cashier thing, when I was in the middle of an early loss and picking up pregnancy tests, the cashier asked me if I was hoping or not hoping, then proceeded to tell me all about her new nephew . First of all, who asks that anyway? Second, she's lucky I didn't lose it in her line. On a more positive note, we had success in the zipadee zip last night! L was only up twice, so I'm calling it a win.

Catching up for the first time today. It's been bonkers at work and I'm struggling to fit my pump sessions in. I am in such a funk. During a meeting this morning while I was speaking, I could tell I was not making my points well and was floundering. It was like an out of body experience and I just could not get it together. I really hope I didn't embarrass myself too much. Last night M laughed at every single word out of DS's mouth. It was so adorable and made his nonstop toddler chatter a little easier to listen to. I'm already looking forward to seeing the two of them together tonight! Oh and I have book club tonight! So I get some grownup time with my college girlfriends!
