I know it has me.

Before I joined I thought nothing about take-away food, naked children, twins, pregnant woman, conception etc.

Now

I tsk tsk when I see kids eating McDonalds. Yes mine eat it but in the privacy of our own home so no-one can see.

Naked Children at the beach - good lord no. That's disgusting. Perverts might be waiting to pounce.

Twins/multiples - can'y comment how cute they are for fear of offending their parents.

Pregnant woman - too scared to even mention they are pregnant in case they aren't enjoying it or I'm the 100th person to ask that day.

Babies - too scared to look at them in case I'm gawking.

Conception - wouldn't dare ask in a million years if someone is trying, thinking or in case they just don't want children.

Oh and don't get me started on judging those who aren't breastfeeding, MCN wearing, co-sleeping type parents


Oh and before anyone has a tanty - it's just a Tongue in cheek good fun, having a joke type post.

I have never forgotten a poster who vented about a person behind her moving a couple of her (OP's) groceries a little further up on the checkout belt so that she could make more room for her own. I think the vent was titled "Don't touch my groceries!"
I am so careful now!
Many more things though. This one just comes to mind!

I find it an interesting portal into an alternate universe and view of how the 'other half' live.

[Dinosaurus]

Yes.

Has tanty.

Off to find appropriate flouncing shoes.

EB gave me Los of great info when I needed it but it continues to tell me things about yoghurt I don't wish to believe,

It IS healthier than ice cream dammit. AND it's a breakfast food.

[follies]

Only in regard of scary birth stories, and strangers touching small babies and giving them colds. However I am pretty sure that is just generic first time Mum-to-be stuff.

As far as being judged in public you just really have to ask yourself how highly you value the opinions of others. I am sure those who judge have things about them that others would scoff at.

[Klinkalink]

No, but it's made me realise how many people on EB are completely paranoid.

[missj]

Haha, yep, you would think we would all be paranoid with some of the 'venting' that goes on here!

[vegiepatch]

Yes.

I know where would be without knowing all we know now about yoghurt still a breakfast food for us

[Catolyn]

Not paranoid exactly, but I was blissfully unaware of the horrible number of 'oodle' mutts out there before EB educated me. I work in a trendy suburb and I see lots of them every day and it makes me sad.

[Pupalumps]

No, I find it oddly reassuring.

I've also learned a heap about things I knew nothing about.
