What are your "pet hates'
David In Indy:
Don't they call it "Post Nasal Drip" or something like that?
Yuck!
The whole thing sounds perfectly disgusting. :P
I feel sorry for those who suffer from it.

I don't know what they call it. My specialist merely said I had 'advanced sinus disease' and I do sniff from time to time. Some days are better than others. It's not fun. My entire sense of smell has been dulled, I have to do special things in order to get a decent night's sleep when half my sinuses are constantly clogged or draining or opening and closing. The snorking you typically have throughout the night certainly isn't anything your partner might find romantic.

Snorkling? Oh honey that sounds awful!
Have you tried taking some Tavist-D? It will make you drowsy, but at least you will be able to breathe.
They may even make a daytime formula. I'm not sure.

I hate most of the things that other people have said (with the exception, now that I've been enlightened, of post-nasal drip or whatever it is).
But I do have to comment on

and

because one of my pet peeves -- and not to pick on you, souxi, because I can completely understand where you're coming from, having felt the same before I had my kids -- is people who assume that if children are misbehaving it's because their parents "let" them do it. I probably would STILL think that if I had docile kids, or even average kids. But I have extremely challenging kids.
I never "let" them run around or slip out of their seatbelts or all kinds of other things they do -- they just do them, and it is a constant -- and I do mean constant -- challenge to get them to behave normally. Often, I chastise them or chase them down or whatever's necessary, but I know it's possible that there are times people see me in supermarkets or wherever not screaming at them or apparently not doing all I might do, and that's generally because either I'm momentarily distracted or I've learned to pick my battles or I'm already trying to get them to stop doing something much worse than that.
And I can imagine non-parents, or parents of relatively docile kids, at this point secretly thinking, "Well, if she would just be strict and firm about it at all times, they would stop misbehaving." All I can say is ... um, yeah. Believe me, I've heard those arguments a gazillion times. Come back and tell me the same thing after you've spent a year or so around my sons, or kids like them. Most people have absolutely no idea. There are a few who do, and I have never heard that kind of advice coming from them.
Anyway, this feels a lot like Del's defense of sinus-disease sufferers. Until you've walked a mile in our shoes ...

My mother use to keep my sister and I on tethers. (I'm serious). I had a blue tether and my sister had a pink one. Apparently, I use to climb the counters and roll around in the meat (even at the age of three, I was shopping for meat). HAVE MERCY! :o
But my point is, my mother did keep control of us. I remember sitting for endless amounts of time on the Paul Harris window sill (which is where I probably developed my love of women's fashion). :D
