5 things you shouldn't say to a mom.


There are way more than 5 things that a non-mom shouldn't say to a mom, but these 5 are my personal favorites. Yes, people have actually said these to me before.

"That's not good for your kid to eat."
...Just like those fries aren't good for you to eat, Susan? Last time I checked, this was MY kid and I pay for her food. You try getting a toddler to eat well balanced meals every single day! It's just not reality, Susan!

"You aren't bringing your kid, are you?"
For one, this is a rude want to ask, and two, if my kid isn't welcome to come with her mother, then why the heck would I want to go, Mary?! No thanks, I'll stay home and watch Sesame Street with my unwelcomed kid..

"You should teach your kid this... or that..."
...And I think your mom should re-teach you manners, Tammy. This is MY kid. Do you have kids, Tammy? No? You have a dog? Yeah, not even close to the same thing. You don't like the way I teach my kid or what I teach her? Then I suggest you better find some more dog mom friends, huh?

"Can you tell your kid to be quiet?!"
Yeah, if I could really stop my 2 YEAR OLD from being loud on command, don't you think I would have done that already, Janet? Let's be real here, as awesome as I am, I am not a fairy god mother with a magic wand. Don't like it? Then I'll take my screaming kid and go to Wal-Mart where all the other screaming kids and their parents congregate. There I know we'll fit in.

"Your house is messy."
Yes, I'm well aware my house isn't in perfect, tip-top  shape like yours, Linda, but do you have kids? No? Then you wouldn't know the distinct similarities between a tornado and a toddler. Go ahead and clean my messy, Linda. Then sit here with me and wait for the storm and be prepared to eat your words.

Seriously, if you aren't a mom and have no idea what parents deal with on a daily basis, then you should probably keep your trap closed. Mom's lack a lot of sleep, energy and sanity... They can snap at any moment, so it would be in your best interest to watch what you say and ask, especially if you are only a mom to animals.
Just saying.

BONUS INGNOANT PHRASE:

"You shouldn't have anymore kids."
This is just down right ignorant! Do you watch my kids, Betty? Do you feed, pay for, or care for my kids, Betty? Are you married to my husband, Betty? I'm pretty sure if I want to reproduce more cute little humans into this world, that's 100% my choice, and 10000% not your business. As a matter of fact... Since you think its alright to even say this to a mother, you definitely shouldn't reproduce, Betty.

*Susan, Mary, Tammy, Janet, Linda and Betty were not harmed in the writing of this blog.*

    I've heard a few of these myself, I can't believe some people actually have the nerve to say some of this stuff... especially with them having no kids. Great post girlfriend!

    I've been told "you know what causes kids right!"
    You shouldn't be so harsh
    And while grocery shopping I've been told that I'm not doing a good job because my 2 year old was screaming because she didn't feel good!

    Oh wow I'd be through the roof if anyone said anything like this to me. As of yet it's just my mother-in-law who gets on my skin.

Married To A Mechanic: 8 things to expect. 🔧

Since I've started blogging, I've only blogged about my husband personally like once or twice, so this is dedicated to my mechanic husband. Erich has been working on cars since he was about 14 years old, so 20 years. He does it for a living but on diesels. He does it in hi spare time as well so basically, all the freaking time. Here's what to expect if you date a mechanic. Car Talk Mechanics talk about cars like 24/7; Parts, make and model, they even try to explain to you how certain parts work. If you tell them you don't understand, they will explain again, in depth with more detail, which is even more confusing. Either go on Google and learn a little bit or pretend you understand what they are talking about. Oil & Grease White anything is against any mechanics beliefs. I have to clean the walls, counters, appliances, PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING at minimum of 3 times a week. They are usually covered from head to toe in oil and grease. Honestly, I thin...

Spring Time Means Allergies!

Sprint time is the worst season for me. I hate this season honestly. My allergies are horrible during spring, like when I say horrible, I mean face swollen, constant nose blowing. The whole awful nine yards. Just the other day, I swear I sneezed about a million and one times and then lost my voice. We just moved into a house that had ben vacant for two months before we moved in, so there was two months of dust accumulated on the floors and walls. Needless to say, my first day in our new house consisted of a lot of sneezing and wheezing. Since spring is just around the corner and that means so are allergies, I made a list of home remedies for allergy relief that has really helped me and hopefully will help you too. Honey Local raw honey, it builds your immune system up to what's around you. You can get this at places like Whole Foods. Make sure it is local honey though. Vitamin C Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine an, anti-oxidant and antitoxin. Flavonoids Flavono...
