Remudamom Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 My niece by marriage was in at my mil's today. We hardly ever see her, so I went in to visit a bit. We are........almost fond of each other, but complete opposites. She is ultra liberal and takes herself very seriously, I am not, and don't. Her baby was in some sort of natural diaper, and I asked her why she used them...........half wondering and half watching to see her get her panties in a wad, and she didn't let me down!! She lectured me up one side and down the other and when she paused for air I said "I like to stand on my roof and spray aerosol cans into the atmosphere." And then she died and I'm still laughing. Sorry. I have to have some fun ya know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galtgrl Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 :lol::lol::lol: A running joke among our family when we come into contact with our ultra-liberal environmental-type relatives is to tell them something along the lines of... "You know, people are wasting too much time thinking up ways to save all these endangered species and whales and stuff...I say, Nuke the Whales! and get on to more important things..." They never seem particularly amused, but they also never learn :lol:! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, no, actually she died because she is so horrified that someone like me is polluting her child's world.

They never seem particularly amused, but they also never learn :lol:! Snicker...... When my mom and step-dad met my husband-to-be for the first time it was over Christmas dinner... Well, my step-dad went into a rant at one point regarding local politics. Some group or another wanted to truck nuclear waste through/around Vegas (where we lived at the time) to the dumping ground in the desert. My step-dad did NOT want this and gave all sorts of reason as to why. I tried to warn my husband-to-be, but alas, he bit, not intentionally to start an argument, but just to educate. (We were young, and he didn't understand yet the idea that not everyone is open for conversations......) Little did my step-dad realize, but my husband-to-be was enlisting to be a Navy Nuke and his parents are geologists who do clean up. He was raised with nuclear waste information passing through his house. It was ugly. Snicker. My mom and I still laugh about it.

Ravin Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I was in a similar phase to your niece when I was a new mom. I still get exasperated by housemates who can't learn what goes in the recycle bin, but I've also learned not to take myself (or life) too seriously. So if you asked me now the question you asked your niece, I'd probably tell you in all honesty that it gives me a warm fuzzy to not fill the landfill, and I'm a cheapskate. Also I will never, never, ever find myself at Wal Mart at 3 AM buying diapers, and neither will DH. This happens a lot to other people. I kind of pity them, while being secretly smug that I'll never be them. I still appreciate the irony that my family's daily bread depends upon my employment by a corporation I used to boycott.:) Oh, and I checked at work about the photos thing. Apparently it's true, we're not supposed to let people take pictures. Who knew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoyfulMama Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Oh, and I checked at work about the photos thing. Apparently it's true, we're not supposed to let people take pictures. Who knew? So they don't sponsor the peopleofwalmart.com website??? :tongue_smilie: I had a friend who snapped a picture of the big price sign above the car seat she decided to buy, as it was an amazing price. I guess the price was an error, and when she got to the register, it was a different price. She got the price that she snapped the photo of, although not easily.

gpsings Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 That's great! I actually used cloth diapers, and because of this (you have to buy them, etc) I was exposed to a lot of the liberal 'we directly cause global warming and your SUV is responsible for the extinction of polar bears, etc...' I love the rear-facing carseat lectures I would get from the twenty-somethings. I actually told one that back in my day, we strapped the children in with bungee cords. She seriously just didn't know what to say. I love stumping them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
