Finding out restaurant high chairs flip over to hold a bucket seat was a REVELATION to me! Especially when we had two of those stinkers at once, it was so freaking convenient. Awesome design, lol.

So much about this makes me laugh...

I only have 2.5 years parenting experience, but I have definite boundary testers. Two of them. I still haven't needed to smack them to get their attention! I yell, which I should do a lot less, but most of the time I can just pick them up or get down on their level to get their attention. And if time outs don't work…

Man I look forward to my kids being old enough for that to work! We are still in the toddler nonstop redirection and distraction stage.

BRB gonna go start hitting my kids.

I have two 2.5 year olds, they act like 2.5 year olds which is to say they misbehave A LOT. I can't imagine anything they'd do that would REQUIRE me to hit them though, and trust me, they push me to the limit and beyond often.

Yes, this exactly. I have no idea what I'm doing. Numerous times a day I google things like "how can I make my toddler sleep past 4am?" and "is it normal for a 2 year old to not listen to anything I say?"

People saying that know on some level they're doing something wrong. I'll take any and all parenting advice people have to give, I'm no expert. Of course, I won't follow all of it, but hearing it doesn't hurt and I'm free to pick and choose and make the actual choices myself.

When it comes to disciplining my kids I keep a few things in mind. First, if I wouldn't do it in front of someone, I don't do it. I would never hit my kid in front of someone, so I don't do it when I'm alone with them. Would I say degrading or mean things to them in public? Never, so I don't say mean things to them…

Yes, people are crazy. That is why I have so much respect for anyone working with the public. I could not do it! I have too much trouble holding my snarky/bitchy comments, I'd be fired immediately.

Right? They make me feel smart, and like I am actually a very good customer since I tend to treat all customer service workers like PEOPLE.

I might start spelling cucumber as qcumber. So much cooler.

I would really be wondering what he was using "his squirrel" as a euphemism for...

Eh, I in no way give a shit about calories, but I only drink Diet Coke. I'll eat a large fries (only bc they stopped serving super size ones) and a Diet Coke. Just a taste thing, not a calorie thing.

I loooooooove a good biscuit. That does not look like a good biscuit. And wtf, a piece of fried chicken in a bent biscuit is now a TACO?

I've always been skinny, through no effort of my own just skinny genes, and it does amaze me how many doctors just assume I'm healthy because I'm skinny. I also have skinny parents with high cholesterol, bad diets, and other minor health issues. Like you say, skinny doesn't equal healthy and it is surprising that some…

Ok, yes, this is exactly what I was thinking. I'm that non-adventurous eater and I would NEVER think of sending something back if it was well-prepared but I didn't like it. That's MY issue, not the chef/restaurant's!

It's interesting to read that. I am a shitty picky eater and have had many a meal in a restaurant that I didn't like. But I always assume the problem is with me, not the meal so I try to make the best of it. If it's like steak that's well done when I ordered medium rare, obviously that is not my fault, but chicken…

Perfect opportunity for the chefs to declare a slice of Oscar Meyer bologna between two slices of white bread their personal favorite dish.

I had to read and reread this like 5 times before I got that it was PUPperoni and not pepperoni!
