I was at Disney World the other day and saw a kid who looked like she was at least 5 years old in a stroller drinking out of a baby bottle. With a nipple. For real. I gagged. My daughter is 15 months old and does not use bottles any more and hasn't for I don't know, several months - sippy cups and sports bottles, yes. Bottles, no. Ridiculousness. <br /><br />And as far as the pregnant bellies are concerned, the universe decided to send me daily emails from pregnancy.org randomly starting last week. Why is completely beyond me... Infertiles must have some giant magnet on us attracting unwanted attention from fertiles. I don't get it.<br /><br />I'll spare you my thoughts on a majority of parents in Walmart. Suffice it to say they aren't pretty thoughts.The Spicy Chickadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05829717249149069341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208580309654551629.post-5058475905050461222012-03-25T19:21:40.713-07:002012-03-25T19:21:40.713-07:00I completely agree with all of this!

If I were a teacher, I'd have a hard time not expressing my opinions to "those" mothers who are too busy or lazy to spend the necessary time actually parenting their toddlers. <br /><br />And hey...It's your blog, so you can make up words and be judgy all you want:) I do it all the time on my blog! Thanks for stopping by this weekend, by the way. Looking forward to keeping up with your journey.Callamaz00!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05627425829893513322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208580309654551629.post-52784461176908473362012-03-25T16:11:19.085-07:002012-03-25T16:11:19.085-07:00I agree.

Her 4 year old half brother is still in diapers due to parental disinterest. Heck, we get her back in HIS way too big diapers half the time.

We had our dd off a bottle by 11 months, and while she's still on a sippy at 20 months we keep trying regular cups. <br /><br />I look forward to learning about your journey!Emmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761362136697332510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208580309654551629.post-80483428708023759192012-03-24T13:31:26.179-07:002012-03-24T13:31:26.179-07:00Hi,

I hate seeing kids running around with things too young for them. I know that at our school's daycare, bottles aren't allowed after one and pacifiers after infancy are only allowed at nap and only through two. As for diapers, I have a whole other rant for that.... My youngest nephew for at least four (and probably 80 pounds) before he was potty-trained. My SIL just couldn't be bothered. More parents need to remember that they are doing their kids a disservice. I see the spoiled, undisciplined kids in my classroom every day. :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208580309654551629.post-25956908211525370732012-03-24T09:08:24.476-07:002012-03-24T09:08:24.476-07:00When I was working as kindergarten teacher, we ha...When I was working as kindergarten teacher, we had a 5 year old who was still in diapers. The mother walked in on the first day and said "here is his diaper bag, you'll have to change him". THank god that I was the intern and that my supervising teacher was there. She took one look at the mother and said "does he have a medical condition?". The mother said "no". So the teacher replied with "then YOU will have to change him, and don't think that you're going to let him stink up my room in a shitty diaper. It is not in my job description to change diapers, and if there is no medical condition, then you need to potty train him. I expect that you will check in every hour to find out if he needs changing, and will be at the school within 15 minutes after I call. If you can't manage that, then your child is not welcome in my class.". Funny, the boy was potty trained within three days. :)peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864584121635753142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208580309654551629.post-542977248600981212012-03-24T09:05:02.712-07:002012-03-24T09:05:02.712-07:00I totally get that with IF your life is crazy and ...I totally get that with IF your life is crazy and I don't blame you for not having your child potty trained. When I said that, please understand that I know that there are special cases. It's when the child just refuses and the parent is too lazy. My SIL was one of those. My nephew was over three and she just said "well, he'll do it when he's ready"... um, no he won't. right now you make it easy. Don't get me wrong, she's a great mother, that just bugged me.<br /><br />I agree with you completely on discipline! It shouldn't be a shock when children are polite... it should be commonplace. Children need to learn manners. If I would have pulled some of the stuff that kids are pulling in public today, I would have never seen a store or restaurant for years!peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864584121635753142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208580309654551629.post-58841455749722831292012-03-24T08:16:10.751-07:002012-03-24T08:16:10.751-07:00I agree.

The parents don't want to deal with the unpleasantness of having to take away the beloved bottle or pacifier, so they don't. Theirs are the kids that grow up getting everything they demand and they develop a sense of entitlement. I deal with the adult result of this on a daily basis and it makes my soul sad.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101535107377688458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208580309654551629.post-23920702070181400932012-03-24T07:14:43.623-07:002012-03-24T07:14:43.623-07:00I totally agree!

At 2 the pacifier went away, he was old enough to understand that it was time. He just turned 3 and knows he should be pooping in the potty, but given my everlasting cycle and the constant running back and forth from the RE I haven't had a solid week or even 2 or 3 days in a row to work on the training...its on my to do list as soon as possible!<br /><br />I also have an issue with kids who are rude and demanding. My 3 year old says please and thank you (almost always), and everyone comments on how well behaved and polite he is....it is called discipline! HELLO!<br /><br />Sorry...just added to your rant, but as a parent, I am telling you that you are correct!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098469099067579372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208580309654551629.post-6382294617185536452012-03-24T06:53:04.323-07:002012-03-24T06:53:04.323-07:00Thank you for the sweet comment on my blog.
