Pet Peeves

I belong to a popular parenting website. I have noticed that some of these women have nothing better to do all day long then bash the women who choose to do things differently than they do. Personally I say whatever works for your kids. I have 3 and let me tell you each one of them are as different as night and day. There are certain things that are honestly none of anyone else's business and here is my list.

1) ERF (Extended Rear Facing)- If someone wants to keep their child turned backwards in their car seat until they graduate from college then so be it. Am I going to do the same? Nope, not hardly. My kids were all turned forward facing just as soon as it was legal. Most especially the little one. Until someone has driven 10+ hours to see their dying parent, with a screaming baby in the backseat, I don't want to hear their crap. Just as soon as we turned his car seat around, when he hit 1, it was like a completely different child.
2) BF/FF - Breastfeeding/Formula Feeding. As long as the child is eating who cares. Life happens, plans change. There are people who have medical issues who can't breastfeed. There are people who end up stressed to the point their milk dries up. Before jumping on someone for not breastfeeding, maybe they should know the story first. Just sayin'.
3) Circumcision - What anyone does with their child's private parts is their business! Honestly this is no one else's business. People do it for religious reasons, and many other different things. If you don't agree with it, DON'T do it. Just don't try and cram your opinion down someone else's throat.
4) Vaccinations- All my kids are fully vaccinated. As their mother, that is my choice. If other people don't want to vaccinate their child more power to them.

I'm sure there is something I am missing. If I think of more I will create another post for them.

Iron Man 2

So we went and saw this movie last night for my hubby's birthday. It was an awesome movie. Chase was wonderfully behaved through the entire movie. He fell asleep about 20 minutes before the end of it. Which turned out to not be a good thing, since he was up until almost 1am. At least he was good for the movie though.

Now I have to take a minute to vent about a pet peeve. Today my peeve is people saving seats at a movie theater. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand saving them if someone goes to get popcorn, or goes to the bathroom. The people I mean are the people who try to save seats for people who are not at the theater. If you bought the person a ticket, by all means save them a seat. However, if you did not buy them a ticket, they didn't buy a ticket early and go somewhere, or things of this nature then they DO NOT deserve a seat. Those seats are for people who have actually purchased tickets. We ran into this problem last night, and right before the movie started they got a text from the people who were supposed to be there saying "Oh don't worry about us, they are SOLD OUT!!! People like that just irritate me!!!! Thanks for letting me vent.
