Isn't that true any where though?

There is a little hole in the wall shoe store in Ft. Oglethorpe that has an amazing selection of shoes. It looks like it is about to fall apart and couldn't have maybe 5 racks from the outside, but inside is like shoe Wonderland.

I love going there. And if they dont have what you want, then it probably doesn't exist.

I got my SAS shoes from there. Usually around 90 or 100 bucks for 40 and some change.

What annoys me are negative and obnoxious people. Those who have nothing nice to say to others. It's like they look for any opportunity to attack others for anything others say. Those who are mean-spirited, rude, nasty, cruel, hostile and just obnoxious and riding the crazy train to boot.

Those who have to cut others down to feel better about their pathetic lives.

Those who whine, moan, bitch, and complain about everything in their lives, then do nothing to work on making good or positive changes in their lives. It's like they get off on being miserable and angry a good deal of the time.

Stupid and ignorant people. It appears to be pandemic and there seems to be no cure.

People who think they are better and more superior than others, who think they are smarter and more accomplished than anyone else, and make sure they inform people about this on any occasion they can. They are always right, never wrong, and no one can say something without this person one-upping them. Talk about major insecurity, Batman.

People who use their medication as a crutch and blame their behavior and everything they do on the meds or because they are medicated. It boggles my mind just how many people are on meds for psychological issues. And for those who do not require any meds, it's like walking on eggshells around medicated people, so as not to set off someones psychological issues.

Although I agree with everything you said, the bolded part most annoys me too. GET OVER IT Peeps. WE ALL HAVE ISSUES.

It annoys me when people point out those who are on meds for psychological issues. I know just as many people who have diabetes, thyroid issues, and a multitude of other health issues that have nothing to do with psychological issues and they use that as an excuse too. I recently heard a guy say he won't date a woman who takes any kind of medication. I thought that was fair until I found out he took a crap load of medication himself.

It cuts through every plastic or plastic and cardboard package I've had to open, MUCH better than any scissors I've tried, and it's MUCH safer than using a box cutter.

So this comment came because I belong to a mom's board. This lady had her three month old baby and he wouldn't stop crying. Nothing was wrong with him. She had fed him, bathed him, clean diaper. He wasn't sick or hurt. She had done everything she knew to do and he wouldn't stop crying. She asked the other moms if it would be okay for her to put the baby in his crib and walk away for a few minutes. 99% of them told her no. They said he was too young to be left alone crying. That he would develop trust issues that would later lead to bonding issues and as an adult he wouldn't be able to have a normal committed relationship because the bonding and trust issues he was developing as an infant were broken as a child by his mother. They kept on with the baby would have emotional problems later in life... All kinds of things. Apparently walking away from a screaming infant when your frustrated is like water boarding your infant these days. I have never seen a more hateful group of parents. Poor lady was so frustrated. Sigh. Why do women act like this? Bitchy? Judgmental? This lady was just trying to get through the day. All moms have had a day like this. At the end of their rope. It happens. I see nothing wrong with walking away to regain your sanity.

I always had a 10 min shower when Gordito was brand new. It was my sanity time to feel re-freshed. Sometimes my husband held him, and sometimes I get strapped into a bouncy chair and cried. He survived just fine.

It just pissed me off to no end Bonny. And I said so. I am not one for letting babies cry endlessly but this woman was at the end of her rope. Better to walk away and remain sane than to do something she'd regret. DD cried all the time as a baby due to GERD. There was nothing I could do. She is not an emotional cripple.

FNW · Guru

Both my boys had GERD. I used to walk to the mailbox to get the mail. By the time I got back, the crying had stopped. Heck, if they start to throw a snit, I still walk away. Neither seem to be exhibiting any insecurities.

Well, there's a new theory out for all the twenty somethings that are having kids now. I don't know the name of it but the theory is that the birthing process leaves the baby feeling lost and insecure. To make up for the separation anxiety they already have from leaving the womb you need to hold them every minute of every day. This supposedly reassures the baby that you have not abandoned them. Which is all good in theory unless you well, actually have a life. Like a job, or a husband, or other kids. And that gets in the way of holding the baby 24/7. So new moms are left feeling guilty. And cosleeping among these women is a big deal. You are supposed to cosleep until the baby is ready to leave your bed. This means when they can walk to their crib by themselves. Now again, all this is just hunky dory except the lady whose son was crying had a husband sick with a bug. He was trying to get some sleep on the sofa so she didn't get sick. The women all told her to cosleep. The problem was that her husband's bosses wife coslept with their baby, rolled over on it, and smothered it. She was adamant about not cosleeping. They kept telling her she just needed to get over that because that was a one in a million occurrence. Which, btw, it's not.

I hate the guilt heaped on new moms these days. Dealt with plenty of it myself. There is nothing wrong with letting one's baby cry sometimes if all their needs have been attended to. Don't ignore your baby for hours but don't feel like a failure because you need to take a little break. Put baby somewhere safe and take a shower or something.

I can't imagine having a baby with colic. DS sure had his moments when he was a newborn but he didn't have colic. I feel for those parents who have/had a colicky baby.

As far as what annoys me: litterbugs, people not putting carts in the corrals, wrong way drivers in parking lots with one direction aisles, people who leave crap all over the store rather than putting it back or giving it to the cashier, drivers who don't signal, drivers diddling away on their phones ... stuff like that.

My FIL annoys me when he insults DS. According to FIL, DS will be retarded and have a speech defect because he's 17 months and not talking in full sentences. Also according to FIL, DH's gall bladder has gall stones because of me. FIL lives in his own special world and deems himself omniscient. It must be wonderful living in a world of such stunning ignorance.

His thinking he is omniscient is more annoying than his ignorance. He once opined that leading a sedimentary lifestyle isn't healthy. I told him well obviously considering that would mean one is a rock. He said that sedimentary means couch potato. I said nope, that's sedentary, not sedimentary. He said I was wrong so I showed him the dictionary. He said the dictionary is wrong. Um, ok then.

He does the same thing with doctors. He will insist that the doctor is wrong. Like with my gall bladder. My gall bladder just up and died. Surgeon said it wasn't my fat, it just quit working and he doesn't know why. FIL insists the surgeon is wrong. Ok then.

People have been trying to make new mothers feel guilty about one thing or another for decades now. I don't think that anyone who says to do these things ever actually did it themselves, or at least not under the same circumstances. For example, it's easy for a first time mother with no job and lots of help from relatives to say you should hold your baby 24/7. The idiotic part is they tell other people who have jobs, other kids etc. that they should be doing it too. These people are bullies, because they are going after the thing that they damn well know matters the most to these mothers, and making them feel like they are hurting their baby because they can't do the impossible. Bullies, all of them.

sweet tooth · Member

My son had colic for the first 3 months. My husband and I had to sleep in "shifts". We had to carry him constantly, or hear screaming. We brought him to the doctor many times to see what was wrong, and the doctor kept finding nothing wrong, but he said it was a very severe case of colic. I was told (by my mother!!) that he is crying because I was "nervous" and I had to relax. Then he would stop crying. WRONG!!! Because I wasn't nervous when he started the constant crying, and if I was nervous later on, it was because I only got a couple of hours of sleep every night, and then heard crying the other 22 hours of the day. I call it blaming the victim.
