Sue.

Also called the person who got me pregnant 'sperm donor' (amongst other things like it, shitbag and twat) for the short time that I was pregnant both times because the way he acted was abysmal, I'm not even explaining myself and that's the only title he deserved. Even that's pushing it.

i think how i said it did come out wrong, im sorry i have as really shit way of phrasing things when i type..
When i said i hate 'day off' i did mean the phrase, not that mums like to have one.. i personally would never say 'ohh i had a day off the other day when i went to see lee evans'.. i did have a 'day off' from work.. i had a night away from my baby, not a night off!
and as to the ones about sperm donors, again this wasn't in regard to all single mums who use the phrase, its just a little majority of mums who sleep with someone unprotected, someone they don't know, then land the 'im pregnant' card and call them a sperm donor for not wanting any involvement.

im really sorry i didnt mean to hurt anyones feeling, i really gotta sort out my wording

Feels like we're all jumping on the bandwagon, but I can assure you we're not.

Maybe once you've experienced parenthood for a longer period and seen what a child can do to you mentally and emotionally you may understand the opposing thoughts but not necessarily agree, whether it be with a partner or alone.

Plus, a sperm donor is a perfect name for somebody who doesn't want anything to do with a child whether the mother of the child knew them or not. It takes 2 people to conceive so it should be 2 people taking responsibility for their actions.

i totally see what your saying, the reason it annoys me is that people use it to try justify things, i know its a terrible thing when men dont own up to their responsibilities, and i think they are no good low lifes, i just wouldnt personally refer to them as sperm donors, i just dont like the phrase really..

Meh, I think its not a nice term, but I do think its pretty fitting in many cases when a man completely takes himself out of the equation after news of a pregnancy. As pp said, it takes 2 people to make a baby. If it was irresponsible one night stand, that's still on both people to have taken better precautions, so BOTH need to be responsible. If the man doesn't step up and just abandons the woman, then yeah, I think the term fits pretty well. Even if it doesn't sound very nice in words, that's essentially what he has made himself.

When OH washes up and proceeds to leave the kitchen benches soaking wet. It drives me mad! Or when he rinses something and sprays the whole kitchen with water. Oh, also when he crumples my fresh pillowcases (unreasonable of me, I know).

Biggest peeve at the moment however is the (fortunately select few) smug bitchy mums waiting at the (pre)school gates.

People who start a testing thread and then instead of updating that one they create like 5 more over the course of a day or two. Flooding the testing section and never following up with the people that offered their opinion on the first one

Sue, I just wanted to send you

THIS.

Also, multiple threads of the same topic because there weren't any responses.

Biggest pet peeve? It's been mine for the past year and a half and continue for another year and a half

In-laws living with DH and I.

You may use your imagination of the worst situations ever.

 

[manatdonalds]

People walking too fast
People walking too slowly
People walking too close to me
Cyclists on the pavement - particularly those without bells to alert you to their presence
People chewing/drinking loudly
People reading large newspapers on trains/buses and taking up standing room
People who talk loudly on their phones
People who watch films or music vids on ipads/phones without headphones
People who have headphones so loud that they may as well not use them
People who have noisy cars
People who have loud music in cars
People who have loud music in noisy cars
People who pick their teeth in public
People who bite their nails in public
People who pick their noses in public
People who keep twisting their hair around their fingers
People who lick their fingers to turn pages or get the plastic bags from the vegetable section in supermarkets
The words; meal, veg, borrow and rustic

Think that covers it for now.

 

[Lovn.sunshine]

When someone hijacks a thread instead of starting a new one. I see this a lot in the testing section.

 

[KatieB]

Or someone resurrecting a thread from 3 years ago.

The guy who drops his child off at School carrying a can of Fosters....yes that is at 8.50am. I don't know him, but I have taken an instant dislike to him.

The Mothers who stand around at the exit of the School gate smoking....why? (I do smoke myself, but I have decency of doing it in my own back garden...)

I have something to add. My husband does the cooking for us because he loves doing it, and I am thankful. However, any time he cooks pasta, he cooks THE WHOLE BOX for just the two of us. Every time I see him doing it, I ask him if we will eat that much, and he says "I want to make it into lunches." Then, every single dang time, after the meal he will decide he doesn't want to make it into lunches and throws away the extra pasta. It's so wasteful and it drives me bonkers.

LOL we do the whole box for two people (and a toddler), but it's one of my favorite things to make lunches with. I make up the lunches when I'm making up the meal though, so I don't wait until after. It's funny when we do pasta, I have two serving bowls, to storage dishes (for lunches), a toddler size bowl, and two toddler size storage dishes...and I dole out the pasta to each bowl as soon as it's done!
