azmommytobe`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll Why do people post photo polls? Ok, so posting photos in weekly sections is ok I think. But when people ask `Is my baby cute?` seems attention getting to me. Let me explplain--If you ask questions like `will I have a pretty baby` people will respond `no`. You shouldn`t be insecure on your babies looks. It is your baby, he is the most beautiful thing you have ever laid your eyes on. You don`t need confirmation from anyone else.

To each her own! Everyone`s different I suppose!

Why do people complain so much? Because misery loves company. Because theyre miserable little sh*ts and they want to make their misery your problem. And because people suck. To all of you who THINK you have the cutest baby/kid: I challenge you. My son is by far the cutest :D ...That would be really cool if there was a way we could challenge eachother. Have people vote on which baby is the cutest

why do people complain so much???

Amanda.M - That`s messed up and I would have reported that person for making such racial comments. She was probably just hating on you anyways. I thought your babies were pretty cute!!

busymommyof3 (1269.5 days ago)
I dont even both w/ some of these polls they are so ridiculous, l like will we make a cute baby?? I simply just dont vote.

Holly28 (1269.5 days ago)
bones..I like your answer. Its a good thing I have the cutest baby in the history of babies though. No punching will be needed. :-D Oh crap. Maybe I should put up a poll asking if she is just to be sure....*LMAO*

bones9812 (1269.5 days ago)
And my first baby, as well as my last *who are twins of each other, 7 years apart* looked just like a wet bird until he was about 4 months old. This last one? He`s got inner canthus folds so severe he looks like he has FAS (don`t get nuts....he doesn`t)....but it doesn`t mean I love him any less...He could be the Elephant Man and I`d still love him. I just wouldn`t force the rest of you to lie about the way he looks!

bones9812 (1269.5 days ago)
Holly...if the baby is really ugly, I think you`re supposed to say, `I`ve seen uglier`....or `Gosh is my kid cute`....anything else gets you punched

TaniamommyX3 (1269.5 days ago)
samanthaandbaby - good point and I agree that women post pics of their baby because they are in awe of its beauty (like my Caleb baby. I can`t post his pic on the forums because it makes the other mommy`s jealouse! ;) But the question is...`is my baby cute?` I don`t need anyone to tell me if my baby is cute and if I were a half decent mother, I wouldn`t ask, I would tell people he IS cute (I think I did that already though! lol) even if he weren`t cute I would still tell people he is. I think most of those people posting the question `is my baby cute` already think their baby is cute and is looking for people to agree.

About name polls: Its one thing to ask if people like the name (which still totally annoys me, but whatever). But some of these polls say `PLEASE NAME MY BABY` Are you f*cking serious?! Why would you ask a bunch of stangers on a f*cking website to name your kid? You dont know us. Get a backbone and name your own kid

sept1baby (1269.7 days ago)
That`s kinda like name polls, I will vote which name I prefer but I wouldn`t expect someone to name their child what I thought. Also, why would you ask someone else to give you suggestions? I did that once, and all I got was a bunch of names I didn`t care for because the names that were suggested is what the people liked, not necessarily what I liked. I also asked what people thought of the name Kayden, and hardly no one liked it, but I liked it and when my son is born that will be his name. My own father even told me if he ever has him out in public he will have a different name which is sad, but I am the one carrying him for nine plus months and what I want will be what he gets so if no one likes it tough poop lol!

Holly28 (1269.7 days ago)
the thing that gets me is that sometimes it is a REALLY ugly baby...and what are you supposed to say.

TaniamommyX3 (1269.8 days ago)
I hate the `is my baby cute` poll but even more than that...the `am I to small`, `to big` `do you think I look fat`, `do you think I look skinny`. WHO F@%KING CARES because all you are doing is asking a bunch of hormonal crazy women if you look fat when she is obviously going to lie to you and say `No hon, your butt looks great` when in reality you need a WIDE LOAD logo painted across your ass! Or she is going to lie to you and say `yes, if you took the skin off your back, it would be big enough to cover a king size bed` because she likes to make you cry .... not mentioning any names (mmmbones9812mmmm lol)!! And if you are going to make a stupid comment and end it with `duh` or `seriously` then you`ve come to the wrong place because we already knew you were crazy......seriously.....

kelli (1269.8 days ago)
not all babies are beautiful. and anyone who disagrees with that, your a hippocrite, because you cannot tell me that you`ve never looked at a baby and thought, `omg what the hell happened!` haha. and yeah everyone is annoying with there insecurities.

kt08dec88 (1269.8 days ago)
You know everyone...just stating the facts... It doesnt matter how much you complain about people like this...because it is just one of those things thats going to happen... People will continue to post their polls about their babys being cute no matter how many people think it is stupid...No im not one of the people that do this...and yes i do think it is a little strange myself...but im not going to go start a big argument about it, when i know it isnt going to change anything...Because by doing this... You are pretty much doing the same thing they are doing...stirring up stuff...just because your bored...Thank you... We can agree to disagree if you like.

tawnsawyer (1269.8 days ago)
its for fun... duh. i hate it when ppl ask questions like the one you`ve just asked... i mean if you`re not going to ask questions and try and interact with the other members... then why even join the site? seriously.

azmommytobe (1269.9 days ago)
I think people asking questions about eye color or anything like that are totally understandable...I don`t care what people do. I don`t need to post a pic of my kiddo because others opinion on him doesn`t matter--He is mine and we all think our babies are beautiful. Babies are beautiful!

bones9812 (1269.9 days ago)
And Devin is perfectly gorgeous...really...I had no idea when you posted your first ultrasound picture, asking us if we thought he was going to come out cute...it really looked like a toss-up but, in the end, all is well!

hotpotaaaaato (1269.9 days ago)
I hate the do you think my baby`s cute ones, or will we make a cute baby etc... I`ve posted photo polls, but that`s just because I`d like to know just by profile what others think we`ll be having, since we aren`t finding out the gender. Don`t worry, I won`t post a `how does my body look after baby?` poll. LOL!

bones9812 (1269.9 days ago)
Or maybe they like to watch people get beat up by strangers (sort of the `train wrect` theory)....let me explain....they post a picture of their baby, inadvertantly taunting a woman who is either unspeakably rude or just having a really crappy day....she says, `No...his eyes are on two different plains and he has the lips of a gekko. Plus I don`t really believe your husband`s the father as he was with me that whole month. And your breasts are sagging`.....then, the post-er gets to sit back and watch while the rest of us do her dirty work, pummeling the crap out of that lovely daughter of God....see...`train wreck`--it`s bloody, it`s horrendous, it`ll give us nightmares AND WE STILL CAN`T TURN AWAY!

bones9812 (1269.9 days ago)
Maybe they just got new glasses and aren`t sure if the prescription is right. Or maybe they are paranoid schizophrenics or cocaine users and wonder if the paranoia is out of control...

coltonsmom (1269.9 days ago)
Why do you care? I love looking at photo`s, epsecially ones with babies. Even the ones where they say `do you think our baby will be cute` - that`s one of the things this site is for, to interact with others and have fun doing it. Insecure? Maybe they just don`t think people will be mean with responses. Maybe they honestly are wondering. Regardless, it doesn`t even matter. It`s something fun to do. By the way, your baby is absolutely beautiful, I love the picture where you`re holding the baby swaddled in the ducky outfit!!! I bet if you posted that pic saying, `is my baby cute` you`d LOVE to read the responses. haha. Hope you`re having a great day. - Cindy

  5. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!

  8. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  9. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  10. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
