In order to not be late, you basically have to plan to leave an hour before you really need to.

Wow. Isn't the world all about her. Skipping over the fact that there's a glaring grammatical error in the first freaking paragraph, I like this:Quote
In order to not be late, you basically have to plan to leave an hour before you really need to.
Then that's what you should do. Is it really that hard to figure out? If you need to be at work by 8, and it snowed heavily overnight, you know you might need to leave earlier than usual to get to work on time, right? So if you have kids, and you know they're going to delay you....
As for her assertion that, unless you're in her exact situation, you can't possibly judge her decisions, I'm with the comedian who said he doesn't know how to pilot a helicopter, but if he sees one in a tree he knows something went wrong.
The whole thing just sounds whiny. I think she regrets her choices and resents CF people for calling her on her bullshit.

Don't have any kids then, or as many fucking kids. Or keep an emergency bag of whatever stupid shit the kids will "need" on a whim (change of clothes, toys, snacks, etc.) in the car.Quote
The Inability To "Pack Light"
If you know that it's going to take you three hours to do something that would take anyone else 20 minutes because of your kids, then plan fucking accordingly! Make your brats use the bathroom before you leave, regardless of whether or not they say they have to because kids are retarded and will say they don't have to go when they're five seconds away from pissing themselves.Quote
Being Late
I don't think anyone would really judge anyone for declining to join in on last-minute plans, kids or no kids. This one's kind of stupid and seems like something Moo just threw in to bitch about. I'm sure people know that even parents who don't suck can't take off at the drop of a hat. Most adults can't do that anyway.Quote
"Saying No To Last Minute Plans"
Leave the kids with a sitter if you don't want to leave an event early, then. But if not, well, you chose to have kids, so I don't want to hear bitching and whining about how you have to go home early so you can spend three hours trying to make your brat sleep. I'd never judge a parent for needing to leave an event early because of their kids. I'd just go, "Bed, made, lie." Not getting to do fun stuff comes with the territory. Suck it up, buttercup.Quote
Going Home From Events Early For Bedtime
Again, I think it can be a little tough for any adult to have spontaneous plans, especially if they're working full time or working more than one job. Mommies aren't the only ones who can't be spontaneous. This just sounds like more forced bitching fodder to me. The only time I could leave and go do shit with people on a moment's notice was when I had no job and no real schedule.Quote
Not Being Spontaneous Enough (Or At All)
I love how this cunt uses the excuse that she's a paying customer to get out of having to actually parent her kids. You know who else is a paying customer? The other fucking paying customers who would like a semi-peaceful meal! And no, the ones giving you and your tard herd the stink eye aren't all just bitter childfree people - many are parents who either got sitters for the night or who would never allow their own kids to act like such complete shit stains in public. If your brats can't act like something resembling civilized human beings, stay the fuck home and eat Kraft mac-and-cheese until they learn some manners. It's not "unfair" to expect people to act like people, regardless of their age. Quit being lazy and raise the kids you chose to have.Quote
Taking Kids Out To Restaurants
I get the feeling that Moo doesn't lift a finger to try and stop a meltdown. She just lets the kid screech indefinitely. Also, does she try to determine the reason for said meltdown? If the kid is tired and cranky, then it's a really shitty thing for Moo to drag it all over the place for hours and hours just because she's not ready to leave yet.Quote
Continuing On An Excursion, Despite A Meltdown
Toys should never be given to kids to placate them because then they'll come to expect it all the time. A parent's job is not to give in to greedy GIMME GIMME tantrums from their kids. Doing so just proves to the kid that Mommy is a doormat and they just have to scream loud and long enough to get their own way. Sure, get them toys now and then - they're kids. But don't do it all the fucking time.Quote
Buying The Kids Cheap Toys At Any Point
Bitch fodder. The only time I would ever judge a breeder for letting their kids eat junk food is if the kid was grossly overweight. Otherwise, I figure junk food is pretty common in childhood and just because a kid is eating it doesn't mean they subsist on it entirely.Quote
Letting The Kids Eat Junk
Oh please, if your kid has too many toys, then do some spring cleaning. I guarantee the kid won't even notice some of the toys are missing, and if they do, they'll get over it. Let them keep their favorites, of course, but just get rid of the superfluous toys. There is no reason at all for pounds upon pounds of plastic kindercrap to be thrown all over every single room of the house. If the kids have a crapload of toys and refuse to get rid of any of them, tell them they'd best keep their toys in their own rooms if they don't want them to get donated to the Salvation Army.Quote
Too Many Toys

Taking kids out to restaurants: this one I do actually judge parents for, because below a certain age kids simply can't handle it. "But how will they learn restaurant manners without going out?" the parents whine. They learn the same way I did: table manners were taught and used at home as part of everyday meals. I knew I had to use my silverware, ask to have things passed to me, ask to be excused when done, etc. before I ever set foot in a restaurant. I wasn't taken out to restaurants until I was about five or so.
