Times when you've had to bite your tongue

[pompeyvix]

Today: I smelled cigarette smoke while pumping gas. I look up and see a very obviously pregnant girl smoking nonchalantly. I couldn't help it I gave her my best death glare. I don't think she saw me though. I thought well maybe she's trying to cut down. But probably not. She would have probably stopped by that late stage if she tried and she wouldn't be waving her cigarette around in the air like la dee da for everyone to see.

Sorry. This makes me so mad.
Please note that this is not judging others out there that have tried hard to quit while pregnant or are still in the process. Congrats to you for your efforts!

Just been catching up on this thread, and I know this is a late reply to this post. I assume "pumping gas" in the USA is what we call filling the car up with petrol/diesel? Anyway, isn't it a tad dangerous to be smoking whilst pumping gas or in the vicinity of a gas station?! Surely that's a recipe for disaster?

And yes, very poor of the woman to be smoking 7 months pregnant

Anything really, it could be something that annoys you, hurts you, etc.
Basically, offer "your suffering" to God as a sacrifice.

E.g. When you make the mistake of telling some old trout who's asked you how you're doing that you're absolutely knackered because baby has been up every hour on the dot, and she tells you to just offer it up. It just annoys me to hear it. I think it's a Catholic thing, but I'm not sure.

ETA: this is in response to post #605 by robinator.

LOL I'm Catholic, but I used to be Baptist, and I never heard that except as a Baptist, and it was only older people who said it...

I mostly heard it when I lived in Ireland. Could be an age thing perhaps?

I'm Irish & catholic I've never heard this saying. Where abouts did you live? Perhaps it's a regional thing?

Kilkenny. Not for very long, though. Was I just around weird people then, since nobody seems to say it? I had no idea what it meant when I first heard it.

lol!!!!!!!!!!!

Sigh, only another 75 posts before I can try again.....

I am pretty sure that today I became the topic of an angry mommy rant somewhere on the internet.

So ... if anyone comes on this thread and says something like 'I held my tongue today when a one year old girl bitched slapped my toddler', someone warn me so I can go hide in the TTC section and pretend I never saw it.

Oy.

I'm sure the toddler deserved it. Probably offered her McD's or a coke. Go Quinn!

 

[robinator]

lol, what happened?

Lol wow it's so funny how different we describe things! Yes pumping gas is filling the car with petrol. We say that because you use the pump to get the gas in your car. Therefore you pump the gas in.
Fortunately she was not near the pumps. Or "pumping gas". Because yes that is dangerous.

He tried to kiss her in a sweet little boy way. I was talking to this poor boy's mother, and we both look over at the kids in time to see her son leaning his head into my LO just as my LO slaps his cheek. It was one of those slow motion 'Nooooo!!!' moments. She hit him so hard that she fell over.

He didn't even cry, but his mom was telling me 'it's fine' with her mouth but 'go to hell' with her expression. I apologized like crazy.

I can just see the thread now. I'm pretty sure it contains at least five curse words. But in a bad mommy moment, I was way proud to see that she can already handle cheeky boys.

 

[robinator]

Lol, little boys kiss Lane all the time. She thinks its great. Crap.

 

[Emerald87]

So far no angry mums with bitch-slapped toddlers here

I second - what happened?


Robinator. How do you get so much done in one day?? Lol

 

[Emerald87]

Oops I'm behind sorry. On phone

 

[robinator]

Lol, you'll have to remind me. Not scrolling back thru a gazillion pages. Or was that for Randianne?

 

[Randianne]

Quinn gives open mouth tongue out kisses. So, you know, if she does let them kiss her I'm sure she'll be very popular.

 

[robinator]

Sigh, confused

 

[pinklightbulb]

Liam tries to proper French kiss me-- tongue in mouth and all. It's rather disconcerting, hahaha! He'll be popular with the ladies one day!

You have one too?

I feel like my LO is going to have to do some practicing on her pillow someday if she doesn't want to end up kissing like this:

I wonder why it's called French kissing. Why not German Kissing? Eskimo kissing?
