Old folks hating toddlers?

In Reply to: senior citizens babysity toddlers - the experiment
I am older and just glad they are not around. Don’t want to fool with them, put up with their crying, screaming, making messes, pouting, crying. I want my golden years to be just that, without the brats.

man hating
Anyone have a mother who hates men? My mother comes from a long line of man haters and expects everyone else to be, or considers them naive. How do other people (who don't hate men), manage these types of conversations?
Hating my supervisor, and not being able to quit yet. nm

I am hating all stores with anything for sale on line!!! sm
Went to Target.com to order a bunch of dolls and stuff to go with it and web site stated all was in stock and would ship in 1-2 business days. I ordered this for my daughters birthday in September. I placed my order August 2nd and only got one doll in time for her September 30th birthday!!! I emailed and called to complain about offering merchandise and not having it available. Never got anywhere with them..except a bunch of email replys from someone outside of the US!!!
Went to Toys R Us.com to place a huge Christmas order. I had a coupon for $50.00 off my order if I ordered a certain amount of merchandise and I also had free S&H. Got a call from my credit card stating someone at Toys R Us used my card to order a bunch of stuff for themselves.
From now on shopping only in stores with CASH!!!
I LOVE your costume, sweetie! As far as hating Pittbulls it would
never, ever enter my mind. It is up to the breeders in the first place to breed aggression out of this breed. So many are bred for fighting and bred to look mean and threatening at the owner's side. If more responsible breeders and owners did their part, this is actually a wonderful breed. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
SCREAMING toddlers
I have had it!!! Moved recently to help a friend ouit -- work with my companies has been low -- when I got here slept on the couch and had the puter set up I the dining room with my wireless card -- got the cable connection and my friends hubby BLEW up their wireless router -- got my Linksys hooked up -- no problem. My VENT is -- this house is "open door" mommies who are houswives -- and almost ADC level but "oh gee this broke that broke" but hubbies can be at the bar 24/7 -- when they are here the kids SCREAM all day and there is NO control, no consideration whatsoever and yes, I am addressing the "wanna bes" who want to be at home etcc -- dosent work till experience under the belt -- JMHO
Dear parents of toddlers
Please make sure someone is supervising your child after the church service. I love your kids and do not want to see them hurt. So when I walked into the Sunday School room after the service and saw a group of two and three year olds leaping off the table like a bunch of lemmings, I was very concerned.
Dear parents of toddlers - 2:
Do not inject them into other people's activities if they are uninvited.
If they weren't invited to the party/wedding/etc, don't bring them.
If they can't behave in a restaurant, don't bring them.
If they can't be quiet in a movie theater, take them outside. Better yet, if it's not a kid-movie, don't bring them.
Dont show up at any public outdoor activity (volleyball game, Tai Chi, baseball practice, dog obedience class, etc) and expect the participants of that activity to watch out for (ie, 'babysit') YOUR kids. If someone gets hurt it's YOUR fault. If you're too lazy to keep them under your control, don't bring them.
When diaper-changing time comes for small toddlers and infants, why do you feel it's okay to do this on a dining table at the ski-lodge cafeteria? YEEEUUUCCCK! If you can't do this in the restroom, or better yet, in your own car,
please.... don't bring them.
The same goes for hiking. On more than one occasion, I've come across someone's disgusting poop-filled Pamper sitting by the trailside. I'll pack out other people's (or should I say PIGS?) trash when I come across it, but not soiled diapers. If you can't pack out the kid's crap, then DO NOT BRING THEM.
I detested toddlers even when I WAS a toddler!

toddlers need toddler-appropriate terminology
a female toddler does not know a v-jay is not what she looks at in the mirror. Pelvis is more appropriate IMO. Toddlers want to see everone's everythings at that age. I can't see putting her in a position of going up to an unknown male and asking to see his this or that anatomical part. There are several sex offenders in my area - too much of a risk.
Why are we rushing to make them grow up so fast? My little one will get more anatomically appropriate names as she goes through elementary school. For now, pelvis for the front and bumm for the back will work just fine, TYVM.
Dear people who are not parents of toddlers...
Please keep in mind that EVERY child is bound to misbehave in a public place at least once. My son is VERY well behaved for a two-year-old, but on occasion, he has a meltdown. This does not mean that I should not take him anywhere. My husband is deployed and sometimes, I just need to get things done, so please stop being so darned judgemental. I, too, hate a badly behaved child whose parents do not watch him, but if a kid cries in a restaraunt, sometimes there's not much to be done about it.
I offered up no excuses, simply said that ALL toddlers..
misbehave at some point in time. They are people like you and I and have bad days, like you and I.
senior citizens babysity toddlers
Dear toddler hater,
A while back someone got the idea that all those people in the nursing home should be playing with all those kids in daycare! Guess what! It did not work! Why? Because old people were jealous of the kids. So the great american experiment failed and now the old people sit in their diapers alone and the kids get to go the movies with their moms while their dads are in Iraq!
Sincerely,
Defender of yucky, loud toddlers.
Dear mother of toddlers who think we all love
I see toddlers allowed to run around, screaming, yelling, standing up in chairs in restaurants, etc., etc. Most people who are not the parents do not care for this at all. We are annoyed that you do not control your kids. You have NO excuse for not doing so. There are plenty of times when one parent is the only 1 around so make the kid mind!!
How do you feel about toddlers being taught to call their private parts
a v*gina and a peni$ ? Just wondering
Don't know why folks would even ask
such a thing! If they do, tell them you don't need a gift just for them to come, eat, enjoy the company and check out your new digs. Never heard of such a thing and would not appreciate it if I were a guest. I always take a perishable gift anyway...wine, plant, food. It is not that big of a deal!
I went and took a lot of folks
Ok, there were 3 adults and 4 kids and I paid for everything down to everyones clothing. I got the jumper pack, I believe is what they called it. Got there Saturday, started Sunday at Universal all day and then Monday through the following Friday we went every day to at least 2 parks and 1 day went to a water park. It cost an arm and a leg but the kids were two 8 year olds, two 11 year olds and then the adults who were kids also. What a blast. The entire trip from next state up to there with rental van and everything probably cost over 10,000 for the time. What wonderful memories though.
thanks folks!
will have to check this other one (Kimkins) out too.
i so hope i can get myself reined in before i come up with diabetes or something...
Tell him different strokes for different folks.nm

Old folks get bored. sm
My 86-yo dad is the same way. Sticking his nose into my business. He also constantly rags on me about my son not mowing the grass, etc. I have explained to him that I LIKE to mow the grass and to please drop it and he just keeps on and on. One day he walked in my office and shook his finger at me and said, "You just wait, you just wait, y'all are drinking way too much pop." This because I buy it when it's on sale and it lasts a very long, long time. And, by the way, neither my son nor I are overweight. Older people just can't (anyways he can't) realize I am 53 years old and have lived on my own without his valuable input for a long time. He just doesn't have anything else to do.
The thing that really bugs me is when he comes over and just plops down in here when I am working and I tell him he can't be in here when I'm working and he gives me all kinds of excuses ("I can't see read what you're typing") and I have to just keep the screen minimized until he goes. He just doesn't get it. The other day I told him to go over and check on my cousin's new fence, and that got his train of thought going in a different direction and off he went. He called me one day and told me not to commit to the big diocesan pledge thing that's going on, that I am to tell them I am a single parent just barely scraping by, etc., etc., and I wanted to tell him I am not quite that destitute yet, but I just agreed.
Oh, and I have an extremely screwed-up sister, too, who Dad thinks can do no wrong and her son is the greatest, etc., etc. Oh, the stories I could tell about her! Well, it was me who gave him a place to live after Katrina and it was me who gave him my couch for his new house because he didn't have one (another delusional idea, he thinks he is broke), not her, so I just keep quiet and keep civil and remind myself he's old. When it gets to be too much I tell his sisters, who tell him to back off then he does for a while. All part of life.
Denver folks out there?
I have posted before and do not want to get into WWIII but supposed to go on vacation next week to Salt Lake City, Wyoming and the like, leaving from Denver and wanted to know if anyone can suggest sights, restaurants for my last day of vacation before returning home.
Thanks for the feedback folks....sm
The 15-year-old now doesn't like ya'll but they'll get over it! I only posted it because they thought it wasn't fair to not give them the same amount of money. "Too bad" is what I said - we live on a budget and buy what is necessary not just what is wanted around here because we're paying off some bills.
Oh ya, folks definitely know I'm 'from away'
as soon as I open my pie hole. Some people don't mind that we're 'from away' (their endearing term for us outta stata's), but some folks get down right nasty about it. I suppose it's like anywhere though....I guess folks in Florida don't like the people from New England either because I once saw a bumpah stikah that said, "Keep the south beautiful, put a yankee on a bus" or something like that. It was a long time ago and my memory isn't what it used to be.
Why don’t folks use their brains
Ladies going to psychiatrist. He is on the wanted list now- had them to undress, pulling their blouses, shirts up and you would think some one would have enough sense to say WHAT? This does not come under psychiatry. No, these women get on television and tell about how they pulled them up. I would be ashamed to let people know I was that stoopid.
my folks go every year x55 yr?
to the same place. Pacific Grove/Carmel "by the sea"...It is breathtaking beauty, quaint village, great food, free beaches. Nearby trails in the woods...Clint Eastwood country :) I don't think the beaches could possibly be more beautiful anywhere else.
to the possible phisher/phishing folks....
or known names that should be used for animals
1. JSG, Jonathan Livingston Seagull
2 Guido.
3. Kira or Kyra.
4. Frank or Felix.
5. Todd.
6. Domino.
7. Angela.
8. Raff.
9. Lily.
10. Shaman.
Dont hate on me folks but
tomorrow I am going with my daughter to see our latest, the new Panda at the Atlanta Zoo. I am so excited. She was just put on display this past Friday so hopefully I will be able to get a glimpse of her tomorrow. She is a little over 100 days old, just beautiful and gosh looks like you could just give her a big bear (ha) hug but don’t know that would be a good idea, after all she is a wild animal. They just look so adorable and cuddly and next to my cats, she is probably the prettiest thing going. Wish you all could come along.....
Hold on, now - not all old folks have that smell
I have an aunt who is 89 and she always smells so good, likes her really nice perfume and never a stinky. She is in 80 group. I am quickly getting to that ole folks age but I also love smelling nice although I don’t do the perfume as I love those nice shower gels.
If I had been asked at such a delicate (as some folks put it)
age, I think my mother would be quirky, invading my space- after all she has her own to keep up with. The 2 posts above are saying they do jot them down. That to me is creepy. I would think the girls at that age would have been taught to be responsible and LET the parent know if they did NOT have one. That is just too weird for my thinking. My mother nor myself with my daughter (grown now) ever kept a diary of when each others periods were/are.
Cannot believe folks don't read these correctly
I NEVER said anything about how the companies perceive us to be.... where did that come from? Another below posted about the same. I am saying TRANSCRIPTIONISTS here are always complaining because they are not taken as professional, i.e. people calling them expecting them to run errands (being as you are home, others think you don't really have a job), telephone, husbands complaining. I post 1 thing and people talking about something else. It is a constant complaint on this board about TRANSCRIPTIONISTS taken for granted. The companies could care less what you or I either 1 wear.
You are talking about grown-a.. folks
By goodness, you do not even see where you are going wrong, do you? What happens if you die suddenly? Do you think they would starve, I doubt it. They would get off their lazy behinds and make do. Why don’t you just let them move in on you and make it 1 big happy home? I do not just dole out money without a person trying to help themselves. You are making them both invalids but wait, you still have the grandkids to go. Lucky you. Don’t gripe when you are to blame for their not working and trying to live on their own. Look in the mirror.
one my folks probably thought was the worst...
but was young enough i didn't stress over it then -- and laugh about it now....the backdrop is a 'granny' who was an alcoholic, already well along when all the family arrived. We mingled and visited with one another, expecting to eat within a couple hours...and my dad asks his mom, 'hows the turkey coming mom?' and she has this blank look on her face -- like she's trying to remember, and he says, let's go take a look...and she says on the way to the kitchen, 'well dear, i guess i better take it out of the freezer!!' Needless to say, there were some frayed nerves -- so we had "Chicken Delight -- which stays open all night" !!
Maybe folks think you are upset because you keep yelling
Ultimately it is your decision whether or not to give someone the key to your home, or once they have it to let them keep it. You have to do what you are comfortable with. I have keys to my parent's home, my siblings' homes, and my cousin's home. Two of my brothers have keys to my home. We are all comfortable with that arrangement.
As a side note, you posted here about the entire situation knowing that everything in your post would be open to comment. If you did not want folks to comment on aspects your situation, then there really was no need to divulge so many details. You simply could have said, "My son is moving out of my home. I asked for the keys to my house. My mother felt this was objectionable." Then you could have asked for opinions or what other folks do.
I agree with you. I just wondered if all the folks
speaking out in defense of the bible being there would feel the same if it was another religious document that was not in line with their beliefs.
Out of curiosity, do they have bibles in public school libraries? I honestly don't know.
Some of the same folks Obama wants to give

I can see why some folks are giving up their pets
I just took Spot and Nerys to the vet for routine senior kitty blood checks. I also got Nerys a refill on her prednisalone. It cost $325.
Those furballs had better appreciate it tonight when I shove pills down their throats.
Most common sense folks on here would know that
some get all riled up when you start talking about moochers! Now, this lady is a plain out and out moocher. She now has 14 mooching babies, of course, through no fault of their own but their mother's greedy selfish ignorance.
I tried to have a rational discussion about moochers on welfare ther other day and for the life of me couldn't get one poster to get her mind wrapped around the fact that there are truly JUST moochers out there, who do not work, do not contribute to societ; they just take,take, take, and do nothing productive. She thought I knew nothing and that welfare was ONLY for those TRULY in need. This is exactly what I was talking about. I see it every day in my community, the baby making factories who refuse to work, sit on their butts, and have more babies, all paid for by the taxpayer. This is a perfect example.....same situation only she had 8 at one time instead of one by one until she finally got to 14.
Maybe the poster will get a picture of what moochers I was talking about and stop acting as if she were being targeted.
Since this lady is on disability, all her 14 children will also receive a monthly disability check. Now, multiply that times ALL the illegal babies here with all their illegal parents also getting assistance and you wonder why this country is going down the tubes and why California is going belly up?
No, but I think some of the folks dicating are drunk. NM

Oh geez folks, light up...
it was funny!
lol Folks, she has an excuse why she'll never face
Besides, we all recognize the ridiculousness of this type of boasting control.
Folks who I talk with swear by Sporteze...
Minimal Bounce Bra. These are kinda active chicks though who ride horses and stuff, so they need the milkers to not hit them in the face when doing the crazy things that they do on the backs of horses. They appear to come in front zip and pull-over styles. I'll put the link below to one of the places I know that sells them.

folks who do not agree are in for rude awakening!
and folks who do not believe we are in deep global environmental trouble in this century are either deluded or just PLAIN selfish and never thinking about others elsewhere and/or here.
and that's my wide-open, not-narrow opinion!
It's Monday...What's for dinner tonight folks?
Cat here....Been wondering what you've all been up too. Been kinda lost as well considering my computer died over a month ago and was finally resurrected this morning.
Tonight's fare will be venison pot roast style (about 4 hours on top of the stove) with string beans and potatoes side, hot water cornbread and strawberry jello for desert.  Cat
How about all you folks having tons of kids? I'm paying for them and your
C-sections and OB costs, as well as all your little offspring's school costs.
So you just continue to give money to grown folks
because they are too lazy to work? You could do 1 of 2 things- take the children or call the family and children services if they are not being cared for. I would never continue to support people who did not want to help their self.
"old folks spread?" LOL! I hope I look that good when I'm in my 60s!

you mean stomach bugs? Lots of sick folks

Probably the same rich & snooty folks who buy $800 Gucci and Prada sm
bags, Jimmie Choo and Manolo Blahnik shoes for $1000 a pair. I heard that Tiffany's is now offering a "plain paper bag" instead of their ritzy printed bag with Tiffany printed on it, b/c the rich are feeling guilty about continuing to buy this overpriced crap while the rest of the country goes down the tubes.
Folks are lacking lots when they have to get drugged up to feel better
Enough rest, the right kind of food, a good clean life, love and closeness of my hubby, these things are just priceless to me. If you or others want to crunk it up, have at it. As long as you do not get in my space, it's your life. As far as roadblocks, I used to live right down the street from the state patrol office in our state and they had road blocks constantly coming off my main drive. It was not unexpected and I never minded. I had my license, insurance and was not snorting anything I shouldn't nor drinking, driving. This went back to the 70s and 80s, nothing has changed with roadblocks. Stay clean, no problem.
Medicaid for poorer folks, Medicare for retirees
But no matter your age if the person is on dialysis you are automatically put on Medicare.
