You know what I hate?

Ditto on the forgotten HRM strap and the (!@$#$% not again!) bathroom break after getting everything all layered and buttoned and zippered and velcroed back up.

Geez! Just ditch the HRM and go by the "is my tongue hanging out?" test .

I'm all dressed with all my winter stuff and then realize that I can't punch the buttons on the computer to reset it and I can't close the garage door using the digital keypad.

I have a HRM but just despise using it!

Teaching primary kids and having to spend half an hour getting everyone dressed up in snowpants, mitts, boots, hats, and scarves, for a 15 minute recess...

This is what awed me most about the kindergarten our son went to - I got all riled up and impatient getting ONE kid suitably bundled up and ready to go out (while still happy+unhungry+toilet-breaked), and they had to do the same for maybe 6 kids each! And then handle all the sopping snowy clothes when they got back in! Man, I was impressed.

I grew up in Chicago. We had cloakrooms in our classrooms (my kids don't even know what a "cloak" is). We didn't get any help getting bundled up, AND we girls were required to wear DRESSES every day, and only had tights on our legs (later stretch polyester pants with a seam up the front, which we had to take off when we came back in). In 1st grade, my teacher sent a note home that said, "Would you please remind Karen not to tie the other children's shoes? They will never learn to do it themselves." So not only did we not get any help, WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE GALOSHES!

That's what I hate.

I hate getting dressed to go somewhere and putting on a relatively new skirt or pair of pants and having the button fall off. I look and there's maybe one inch of thread with just the knot on one end. Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!
