I’m so over worrying if my kid eats dirt. One day, I’m driving in the car, and I glance back and he has his shoe in his mouth. His dirty shoe that he walks around in all day was IN HIS MOUTH. So, whatever, he licks his shoes. Most dirt is cleaner.

I had Samantha but identified with Molly. American Girl dolls were perfect for me because I was an obsessive reader (still am) and they spoke to me.

I used to feel that way, which is why I didn’t buy a video monitor. Then my kid started sleeping in a bed, which gave him opportunity to climb the furniture and be generally rambunctious, and I wish I had one so I could more easily tell the difference between “I’m sad it is bedtime” and “I got my foot stuck in the bed…

Mine needs a new head (I tried to blow dry her hair and ... it maybe melted a bit?) and I think I didn’t seal the box she was in well enough because there was a wasp nest in there with her. One day I’ll get her cleaned up enough to give to a niece. But I have four, so I’m not sure who gets her.

My next door neighbor when I was growing up used to call our house all the time to follow up on things she’d overheard on her baby monitor, and would casually drop tidbits from my parents’ private phone calls into conversation. It drove my mom absolutely batshit.

I remember reading a while back that creeps actually do occasionally hack into those 2-way monitors and yell horrible stuff at your baby. In a related note, I opted for a super low-tech walkie-talkie style monitor. Anyway, I see her all the damn time, I don’t need to watch her sleep too.

Yeah, I have a friend who saw A DIFFERENT BABY on her video monitor and lost her shit. Turns out someone nearby had the same monitor and was on the same “channel”. No bueno.

Secure your network and this is highly unlikely to be a problem. All the creep stories you hear about are people with insecure networks... or whose password is “password123.”

I. SEE. YOU.

So with the picture there, I read “monitors” as “mobiles” and thought we were flipping our collective shits over some hacked musical spinny things.

Way back in the day my husband and I were apartment managers. And had a baby with a monitor. We found out really quickly that we could hear our residents phone calls over the baby monitor. Turns out most of the folks in our complex were dealing drugs (though to be fair, the previous managers were kicked out for…

They will never be the same quality that they were back in the day though. They are so much more cheaply made now.

Serious? I am doing this, and adding "Professional Boogeyman" to my business card. I cannot wait to scare kids with spooky sounds n shit.

I know. I’m so sad. I never got to get the Molly doll and I’m still sad about it.

Samantha was always my fave! I’m happy that she’s back.

I heard about that a while ago. I was disappointed too. She was always my favorite.

Honestly...I don’t think many people liked Molly. I mean, I was given Molly, and was always a little mad about it. War-time rationing, glasses, and I don’t even remember her personality much, even though I have a ton of her stuff. I was always jealous of my sister’s Samantha doll with all the fancy girly stuff.

I was lucky my mom snatched her up for LilCatChick last Christmas. Maybe she’ll come back someday.

HAHA They made Joan a size two. And where is Roger’s pile of oyster and martini vomit?
