Oh my goodness yes! You took the thoughts from my mind and wrote them down, lol. I'll be the FIRST to admit that my toddler can still act up in public, but I do not condone it and I reprimand her for it. But the point is she still does it from time to time. She's two. Two year olds just do those types of things, I don't care how good of a parent you are. And potty training? Ha! I hear this often "girls are easier". They haven't met my girl, lol. She's not ready for it quite yet, but she is getting close. I am choosing to wait until I can be more consistent with her. I have a newborn and I will be waiting until she is at least a couple months old before I start trying to potty train my toddler so I can be more consistent than I would be right now. And your last one...my personal favorite as well! :) "This developmental psychology book says...." or "This parenting book says don't do this". Really? Since when do a couple of books take higher credibility than talking to another mom or parent who has been in (or is currently in) your shoes? Not in my book! There is no set way for every child and certainly not a text book answer for all situations. One of my favorites lately has been the "spanking leads to sexual fetishes" horse pucky I've been hearing. It's quite laughable. So I guess this means we should not change our children's diapers as well because after all, the genital area is a sexual area isn't it? Heaven forbid we clean up our children when they mess themselves! It may lead to a fetish!! I also love how those who don't have children believe they can throw a bunch of expert studies and book information at us parents, claiming to know more about child rearing than we do. Ok. In about two or three years when you have children tell us how well it worked for you and then we'll give your advice some thought. In my mind experience is knowledge. Again I say, who do you call in the middle of the night when your child has an ear ache and can't sleep? Do you call the parenting book hotline? I hope not. I personally would be calling a family member or my child's pediatrician. You know, people with experience? Good question :) I enjoyed it thoroughly!

I think its actually stupid... I mean everyone knows that when people identify that they are a Republican or Democrat then both of them will start screeching hysterically at each other like a bunch of babies. It would never stay civil where either one could explain what they are saying. They'd wind up calling each other traitors while some other reasonable people will get a map to give to the woman so they can quickly seperate the two loonies.

that's not funny but this one is "A lady calls the police and says there's a democrat jerking off on my front porch and the cop says ,how do you know it's a democrat? and the lady says, because if it was a republican he would be screwing somebody"////

If it were true, the Republican would have found her car and siphoned all the gas out of it.
Yep...NeoCons love their chain emails.
