Different types of moms

We all have our own way of being parents and of course we all love to talk about our kids. But there are parents out there that really annoy me. The parent that lacks common sense.... It's Christmas time so many of us have our trees up and decorated. Many of us also have young kids. This is the mom that complains that her kids keep grabbing ornaments off the tree and breaking them. Well here's a thought...common sense would tell you to put breakable ornaments near the top and no breakable near the bottom so if kids grab them it doesn't matter! The parent who has to tell everyone they have kids all the time... This is the parent that when out with other moms and at moms night out has to constantly slip in the fact that they have kids. Well no shit you have kids...it is a moms night out...which means we all have kids! But we left them at home so we could talk to adults for a night about adult things and don't need to hear every two seconds that you have kids! The parent that thinks their kid is perfect.... We all like to think our kids are the cutest, smartest, greatest kids ever. But most of us also realize that our kids misbehave. But this is the parent that constantly only talks about how great they are and if you mention your kid ever throwing a fit or doing something they look at you like you have 2 heads because their kid is perfect! News flash...no kid is perfect! They are going to act up, they are going to throw a tantrum, and the sooner you realize it the better off you will be. The parent that thinks they know everything.... This is the parent that has one kid who is younger than yours....and I mean you have a 3 year old and they have a 3 month old....yet they feel like now that they have a kid they know everything and constantly try to give you advice! I'm sorry but unless you have been through it you don't know! The parent who brags about nothing.... This is the parent that thinks their kid is going to Harvard at age 10 and doesn't realize the things they brag about are normal milestones and their child is doing exactly what every kid their age should be doing... My 3 year old knows their colors...well I hope so since all 3 year olds should....my kid can count to 20... That's great but all kids in preschool and even before preschool should be doing that The idiot parent.... This is the parent that you see at Walmart during the summer with their kid in just a diaper...listen I know it's 90 degrees out but throw a onside on hat kid and call it a day...you are in public and don't need to have your kid out in just a diaper! I'm not a perfect parent and I do not have perfect kids. They are pretty darn cute and I love them but I know they aren't perfect. I also know they are good kids who just have moments when they don't behave....like most kids. Sometimes I just hear things that come out of parents mouths or see looks they give when other people talk about their kids and it irritates me. It is not a competition .... We are all just trying to raise our kids the best way we see fit.
