Dear Mothers of America:
Stop referring to your teenage children as "your babies." (eg, a co-worker posting on Facebook today: "I'm so excited. I get to pick up my babies from the airport today!")
They are by definition not "babies." Nor do they ever want to be referred to as such.
Sincerely,
Me.

I'm going to have my babies read this disgusting comment.
I'll let you know if they are offended ;D
Since as a male I cannot weigh in on women's rights (so I'm told by the left), then someone being able to tell a woman what she can and cannot call her children falls into the same category. Male input not allowed.
Not nearly as distasteful as the people who use that term for their dog/cat/automobile/significant other.

True....but it's damn close.

Really bringing in politics? Do you ever realize how annoying you can be? Like I'm honestly curious if you think of yourself as someone who consciously is bating people or if you wake up and think to yourself that you're a really easy going person?

I'm actually one of the most easy going people out there and friends, colleagues, acquaintances will tell you that until the cows come home. In my type of job, you have to be.
I do love to expose hypocrisy, especially among those that claim they don't commit it. Easy targets. Use the "ignor" button.
Uh....who is being hypocritical?

Mothers are the worst.
Spend more time talking on the phone while driving at wildly inconsistent speeds on the freeway in your Chevy Tahoe adorned with stupid stick figures on the back window as well as the ubiquitously nonsensical letter initials bumper sticker signifying some sort of misplaced existential importance of a town you once visited last summer.

There is medication for passive/aggresiveness.

Another of my pet peeves.
I am pretty sure that women have an extensive list of broad generalizations about men that tick them off. I suggest we step away from the abyss before this becomes offensive.

Sultan, you getting a lot of Moms dropping their 18 year old "babies" off for school this week? Is that what prompted this?
Somewhere I think we can blame Facebook for this.

So you build up all the stubbornness and bating people into arguments for muscoop?

Me evidently? Maybe he'll answer this one.
This thread was likely gonna go down the shitter soon enough anyway, but a nod to Chicos in making it ppolitical for the lock.
