If you really want to know what bothers me ( if you are not interested disregard) I work at the front desk of a high school. I am tied down to my desk. I am trying so hard to stay on program with my eating and exersice. There are co workers that come up to my desk when they need a break and bring their snacks and eat them in front of me. I can not leave and I do not want to hurt anyones feelings and ask them to leave while eating their snacks. This is something that makes me a little nuts. I don't think they really realize what they are doing. This is just a get it off my chest. I do not want any not so nice replys I just wanted to get this off my chest as to what bugs me.0

I work in an office full of ladies that LOVE their sweets and take-out lunches. It is VERY VERY hard not to be tempted when someone brings in fudge or someone goes around the office to take orders for my favorite take out place.
BUT, I also have my goals posted on my desk so I can see them everyday. I just look at those and imagine reaching my goal. Then I go grab my granola bar or yogurt and I'm fine!0 -
I think you sounded judgmental and harsh upon reading the post. The topic IS "You know what really bugs me..." and then you go on talking about other people having kids. Not yourself waiting to have kids, but other people who decided to have kids at an early age.
With that said, I had my daughter at 19. She's almost 7 now, and I'm 26. I don't regret a thing either. She has shown me the world in a whole new light. And instead of being drunk and hitting up bars at 21, I was being a mom. At 23, I was divorced from her dad and enjoying my early 20's as I should have been... but I was still playing mom and being more responsible than my childless friends.
Sometimes I definitely wish I would have waited a little, but in the grand scheme of things - I am who I am, because of the choices I've made. I am happy, my daughter is happy and neither of us are suffering because I became a mom at young age.0 -
what bugs me is that some people have jobs where they can sit on MFP all day and post stuff every 2 minutes
also, 2 more things that bug me...people who dont capitalize the first word in a sentence or thought and people who say what bugs them then get bent outta shape when other people say that they are annoyed with the first person saying what bugs them those little smiley faces are annoying too 0 -

I'm working a desk job while I go to school to become a nurse - I am milking this sitting in front of a computer for all it's worth!

Around here, 80% of the girls I graduated with have kids already and I graduated in '08, I'm almost 22.
Obviously it's their choice whether to have a kid or not, but in my opinion, they're babies having babies and the kids that had the babies have their parents basically raise it and they go off and do whatever they want -- that's not an assumption, I was close friends with a lot of these girls until they pulled this crap-- I think it's your responsibility not your parents because it's your kid! They raised theirs they don't have to raise yours too.
Some of them got married and got jobs and actually care for their own kid, but most of them, they're still too childish and selfish to raise their baby, they'd rather party and do drugs and again, I'm not exaggerating. Every parent needs a night out, but when your night out turns into 5-6 a week and you are out until 3 am, nope. My "sister"(best friend) got pregnant and had a baby, she moved in with me and I turned into a full time babysitter while she went out with a different guy every week(she was proud of her high sexual partner count).
It's just my opinion, you should wait until you're at least 20. But thats MY OPINION. Don't anyone jump on my *kitten* for having an opinion just like the rest of you do.0 -

I'm actually quite a great multi-tasker.

If you dislike these people so much then take them off your facebook page. I'm sure they would not want to be friends with you if they read this.

Good to know that they should only post things that you care about. God forbid they post things about their lives. Sounds selfish if you ask me. If you would have wrote about feeling different because you are not having children, or you are waiting until you are older to have children this would be an entirely different sort of conversation.0 -
So delete them.. duh.
I personally like seeing pictures of my friends kids on their first day of school, but then again I'm not a snob.0 -

Clearly none of your FB friends have ever posted a picture of their placenta or that first time Johnny pooped in the tub.0 -
Yeah, posting photos of your kids all the damn time is just boring for people who aren't related to you. I don't post multiple photos of my dog every day and I guarantee those people are as interested in my dog as I am in their kids. Once in a while, sure...all the time, nope.0

Haven't had a friend post the placenta, but I've had numerous stories of potty training and messes. Oh, and most recent was a play by play of a friends birthing process. Counting down the centimeters and all.
I may be judgemental at times, but a snob I am not.0 -
Why is it that as soon as someone expresses an opinion on here, they are quickly branded as judgmental?
That is what really bugs me, in answer to the original question of this post.
Yup. That's what bugs me too.
Here's things that bug me that I'm sure will get me called judgemental also. I don't care. I am judgemental and so is everyone else. Everyone judges everyone all of the time and it's a major pet peeve of mine when people deny it. So let the flames begin lol
First and foremost, if you smack and pop bubblegum like an angsty teenage girl being a brat, quite frankly, I don’t want to be near you. Do this in a professional environment like an office and it’s even worse. Learn how to chew like an adult human instead of like a cow chewing it’s cud.
Next on the list of things that annoy me is people who refuse to acknowledge that they want to lose weight to look better. Hey, I’m sure there are some people who could care less about their looks and are only losing weight for health purposes but most people care how they look and looking better is a reason they want to lose weight. For me, honestly, it’s the primary reason. I’m not so overweight that it’s effecting my health. I just want to lose 30 lbs so I can go back to modeling for extra money.
Also, stop acting like I’m a horrible person because I don’t think obesity is attractive. I don’t personally know anyone who thinks obesity is attractive but I seem to be the only one I know personally that is willing to admit it.
Political correctness, in general.
I do animal rescue and a major peeve is when people abandon their pets for stupid reasons. I think my personal favorite is “I didn’t realize he’d require so much time or food”. Do your research before you buy a living thing. FFS.
Actually, do your research before you have human offspring also. I’m so sick of news stories about little kids being hurt or killed because of their parents stupidity. If you leave a baby in a hot car, you deserve to be punched.
Speaking of the news, I’m sick of seeing politicians spending millions on attack ads. You know what would REALLY make me think you’re a better choice than the other guy? Take those millions and donate them to charity instead of on an ad.0 -

Judgmental/snobby..is there a difference? Why are you friends with these people if you have no interest in their life?
I'm sooo tired of hearing people complain about this honestly. Just move on.0 -
What bugs me... This whole conversation of judgmental, negative, throw a fricken hissy fit because you don't agree with that fact that I think people are crazy for having kids at a early age.
There. Yell at me. I will still continue to not have children, I will still continue to go to school full time and work two jobs. I don't even want to take care of a gold fish right now.
Does this make me a lesser person? No. Does it make you a lesser person for wanting kids? No.
The world will never agree. Get over it people.
Have an awesome day! Whether it be with your kids, with your friends, or with a beer. 0 -
My issue has nothing to do with her not wanting kids young. I just think its lame to ***** about your 'friends' on a forum. Especially when all they did was post pics of their kids.0

I'm stating that I can't wrap my head around that I'm old enough for it to happen.
Don't worry. I'm 28, I have an almost 4-year old and I'm married. I don't feel old enough for it to happen, either. Hang in there...:flowerforyou:0 -
Yes because none of us have ever complained about anyone else on a forum... ever. Not that guy at the gym or the girl at work who just really irks you every once in a while. Not your boss, your sister, your mother-in-law.... Nope. I never complain about anyone I am friends with.
Bahahaaa. Sure I do. Everyone does. It's human nature. Do a search on this forum and you will find 10 times more negative posts dealing with people complaining about anything and everything, then you will positive posts.
Human nature is to only remember the negative.0 -
Oh and to the OP...
Some advice.
Don't post anything ever. Even sunshine and rainbows will get you haters here lately. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
when people say "also, too" - that bugs me.
when someone speeds around, switching lanes back-and-forth to maneuver around me and others in traffic, only to end up being the car beside me at a red light - that bugs me
kobe bryant bugs me
someone drinking the last of the coffee, but not making another pot bugs me
directv customer service bugs me
the windows vs apple and android vs iphone arguments bug me
people who say "explanation point" instead of "exclamation point" bug me (also add "flustrated")0 -
Wow, give the girl a break? Why is it so hard to say that you disagree in a nice way without insulting her or treating her like a child?
Personally, I can relate to the OP's post. I'm almost 30 and yes, it's normal that most of my friends are married and have kids and I'm really happy for them, at least for those who are obviously happy with the way their life has turned out. I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with starting a family whenever you wish as long as it's a conscious decision that you actually thought through rather than 'forgetting to use a condom'.
What bugs me is the reaction I get when I say I don't want kids. No, I don't know if that's ever gonna change. But I said that since I was 15 and ever since then, people have been telling me that 'in time I'd want to start a family'. Well, as I said, I'm almost 30 and so far, nope, still don't want kids. I don't know...it just bothers me that people seem to be unable to comprehend that it isn't a woman's ultimate wish to be a mother one day and that no, I am not unhappy and don't feel like my future looks like it's going to be unhappy without children of my own. I'm not saying I hate kids, I'm not saying your kids suck...I just don't think I'd make a good mother and since 50% of my parents sucked and made me feel unwanted, I'd prefer not to do that to a child.0 -
Bad grammar and incorrect spelling bug me!0

I know. I'm 23. I have no kids and this is almost unheard of where I am from.
It's funny. All my friends who have kids tell me not to have kids. Hahaaa!
I want kids. I just don't want them now. GASP! Let the older ladies(the ones I work with, not the ones here fyi) give me their most potent death glares for being so selfish. :laugh:0 -

Yes, all these friends that I am mentioning that have children, have ALL told me to wait to have kids. Everyone of them. They will tell me that they love them, but they also tell me to wait or that it's good that I'm waiting. I love their little kiddos. I just love it even more that I can give them back.
Oh, and I am on the fence about wanting kids. I used to say that I wanted to be a mommy and I'd be happy. But now that I'm older and getting towards a career (sort of) I'm not sure if I want them or not. I guess one day I do, but that day is definitely not today. And I am beyond proud of all my friends my age that have been able to do it. One of my best friends had her first 3 months after we graduated high school, I tell her all the time how proud of her I am and how I dont think I could have done it without going insane. (i'm alreayd a bit crazy just dealing with my baby of a dog)0 -
My parents were early 20s when they had me. I look at them and think how nice it is that they can enjoy an empty nest together while they are still young (early to mid fifties). I like knowing that the odds are that my (future) kids will know my parents for many years because they aren't already "old." My grandparents are in their mid 70s, very active still, and enjoying the great-grandkids in the family.
Many of my friends had older parents and so those older parents (30s and 40s when they had started having kids) aren't as "spry" for their empty nest days. My hubby is only 2 years older than me, but his only living grandparent is in her 90s and fading fast. His folks are nearing/entering retirement age, while mine still have a little ways to go.
I'm still in my 20s, but not by that much. I feel a little "behind the ball" on the kid front to be honest, and look forward to starting my family, since I've been out of college for a few years now and am now married and have a stable footing. Statistically, I'm average for my generation, but compared to my own parents and grandparents, I'm stretching out the generations. On Facebook, a little more than half of my old HS friends are married with kids. The age of the kids seems to depend on what the friend did after HS. Friends with advanced degrees are just getting married and have no kids or very young kids. Friends from HS with 2 year degrees or no degree have kids in grade school now, but are also generally doing well (even though some are divorced and now single parents). The earliest any of the them starting having kids was 19.
OP, when I was 23 I couldn't imagine having kids yet and was a bit thrown when my own friends started having them and posting on Facebook. It didn't bug me because it just put them on the same timeline as my own amazing parents, but it did make me feel different, older, something like that--woke up the part of me that thinks about having kids and if/when I wanted them. With just a few years of hindsight now, it doesn't phase me a bit when I see the pictures these days. I actually enjoy seeing them.
Are your friends your age or older? A 23 year old with a kindergartner, 1st or 2nd grader though, would have had to be 18 or younger when they conceived and thus might have been teen moms. I guess I am surprised then that you seem surprised by them having kids. Did you not know when they got pregnant?
There is nothing wrong with just waiting and enjoying being 23. 0 -

That is what really bugs me, I guess, in answer to the original question of this post.
I've noticed that a lot around here. On any topic really.
How to start an argument on MFP:
1. Post a topic or discussion concerning anything.
2. Wait.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
what bugs me is that some people have jobs where they can sit on MFP all day and post stuff every 2 minutes
also, 2 more things that bug me...people who dont capitalize the first word in a sentence or thought and people who say what bugs them then get bent outta shape when other people say that they are annoyed with the first person saying what bugs them those little smiley faces are annoying too
LMAO! 0 -
Try being 28 and not having kids and having to see all of these pictures.
While hungover. What happened to just being 28 with an alcohol problem?0 -
I popped out a kid at 18 another at 26 (two very different experiences. who knew?). But, really I should have waited until I was 40 or so.
You know what really bugs me? Political posts that are not in line with my own views. *kitten*.0
