Grinchy Poo

So I guess my negativity has to come out somewhere -- better here than in front of others, I suppose. I've been getting frustrated at the "things" that people (parents?) are expected to do/buy/have, whatever. So here are a few things that I think are total bullshit:

1) Studio portraits

Why do people pay money for this when you can just dress the family up at home and take a good enough picture with the digital camera? Perplexing.

2) Kids' haircuts

I'm thinking about kids who are under school-age, in particular. How hard is it really to do this? And the more you do it, the better you get at it. Hell, I've given myself and my husband haircuts, and it's not all that hard.

3) Juice

It's full of sugar, even if it's just the natural sugar, and is HORRIBLE for anyone's teeth. Perhaps parents give it to their kids for the vitamin C, but why not just let them eat a piece of actual fruit and get some fiber, too?

There are plenty of other things I have a beef with -- I'll add more later.
