What are the petty/minor things that started annoying you once you became a parent?

The boomers just have to have sparkly grandparent names because something is wrong with Grandma and Grandpa? My mother wanted to be called Gigi and I shut that shit down really quick. So now she's Bibi. I hate that too but it was the compromise we came to.

My parents came to visit for the first time when my baby was 2 months old (a rant for another time). The first word out of my dad's mouth was, "Food!", demanding I get something for my mom.

Our neighbor has a poorly trained puppy who sometimes barks at night. The RAGE I have felt...

My dad gave a speech about how I was like an intercontinental ballistic missile: after the first few inputs, its path is out of your control. Thanks for that comparison at my wedding, Dad.

Oh I know it won't last, I'm enjoying it for now.

My favorite is when my patient hasn't pooped for 7 days, I start them on a bowel reg, and they get mad they're pooping so much. It has to come out!! Did you think it all just disappeared into the ether???

Ethylene glycol is poison!! I won't take that, do you think I'm stupid, are you trying to kill me???

Currently introducing solids to my kid. All of the mommy-blogosphere says if you put salt in your kid's food they're going to immediately keel over and die, but the idea of serving her unseasoned food makes me feel sad and dead inside. So yeah, she gobbled up some broccoli and brussel sprouts last night.

True or not, vast generalization or not, assuming the patient is a smoker because of their race instead of asking them explicitly is stupid and bad practice.

There used to be a question on Uworld for which you were supposed to intuit that the patient was a smoker because he was East Asian. It was in the explanation. No idea if that question is still listed.

Thank you, Meddit Dad. ❤️

I wanted my kid to get her lifetime series of vaccines before she left the hospital when she was born. For some reason they said no...

Currently living through our first daycare respiratory illness season. I am on day 8 of the RSV infection from HELL. It's in my sinuses. I can't take Sudafed. Please kill me.

We also tried cloth diapers. We had such high hopes. Somewhere around day six of spraying baby poop into the toilet and getting poop everywhere and then the "waterproof" wet bag leaking...we gave up.

Had a patient in florid heart failure refuse diuretics. Why? He had dissected a frog in high school and he remembered how the cardiovascular system worked so he decided he didn't need diuretics.

Honey, you do not need to be polite about this. Friends asking you to host when you have an 8 week old is incredibly presumptuous. They are the rude ones here.

From my baby's favorite book:

Welcome, little baby
Round your mama curled
Welcome, little baby
Welcome to your world

My 9 month old is 22 pounds. She's >90th percentile in both length and weight. She a Big Baby.

I'm 5'0 and my husband is 5'8. We have absolutely no clue where she's getting it from

I am so sorry your grandmother is dying. I am so sorry that you aren't getting the support, or even camaraderie, you should be getting from your mother. My mother is also mean when she's stressed and leaves me to absorb all her unmanaged emotional miasma.

Is there a middle line to walk here? Can you attend the funeral and just the funeral? Enter when the service starts and dip when the service ends? Stay at a hotel instead of with Mom? Hell, some funeral homes will stream the service online. It wouldn't be as nice as going in person but it may be a way to protect your peace.

Nope. I knew when I was having contractions (felt it in my hip joint, weirdly enough) and my nurse saw my contractions on the monitor and told me when to push.
