Wow. I just came across this randomly and you personify everything wrong with America today. I was embarrassed reading this. Honestly, the trite “there are kids starving in Africa” springs to mind.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves
No wonder your kids are so screwed up–look at the example you give them.

Third party harassment… pregnant or not is not excusable.

You get serious points for even considering taking your kids to the Container Store. As a person who spent her formative years on that side of the tunnel, I salute you (and send sympathy).

Once your closet is done, you’ll know it was well and truly earned.

The Container Store allows customers to make appointments for closet designs, and Elfa becomes under high demand in the last few weeks of the Elfa sale…

I wrote a post a while back re: my container store habit.sometimes I feel like the store is the only person (sic.) in the world who understands what I need.

THE ONLY that shocks me about this is that it did not take place at ikea. That place is like tnt to my temper.

I hit a man with a copy of what to expect when you are expecting when he wouldn’t give me a seat on the subway.

Maybe this could be a book called “moms do the darndest things (so watch your back.)

Great to hear I’m not alone!

Wow, what a great hubby you have. I (and I think all of us) have totally been there. Just this morning I’m dealing with kids waking up 4 times in the night and the dog barfing/peeing/pooping all over the house – once at 3 am and once at 8 am – I wish I had an umbrella to break.

Good for you for sucking it up and setting the example for your kids by going back in there and apologizing. I hope your new closest makes you take a deep contented breath say “ahhh” every time you look at it.

Thanks for the laugh – I needed it!

I think Starbucks should start an ad campaign featuring you as a spokesperson who explains that the wind down to any adult tantrum should take place at Starbucks.

I love it when you say/type “frak”. That word is just perfect: it sounds so curse-y, it’s not bleeped, and it reminds me of the days when I wasn’t too tired to watch sexy nerd shows.
