I Hate Sippy Cups
Ahhh! I’m so frustrated with all the stupid sippy cups that aren’t Gerber. Turns out Gerber’s are the only ones that actually work.
I think I’ve bought every kind of sippy cup, and last night we had a horrible disaster. Squid was sleeping with me in the bed (he likes to have a sippy cup of water when he sleeps) and his cup leaked everywhere. I woke up around 3:30 and the sheets and pillows, and HIM, were all wet! I was so tempted to go into the kitchen right then and throw all the sippy cups in the cupboards away. I was so pissed. I had to pull off Squid’s clothes and make a barrier that blocked the wet spots. Of course, Squid woke up and started crying and I almost wanted to start crying, as well. I was so tired and so mad. NOT a good combination.
It was just the last straw. I am so pissed that I’ve spent like $50 on cups that promise to work and don’t. So, today I’m going to Target and just buying the regular old Gerber ones. If I had just stuck with those in the first place, I would have saved myself many headaches. Note to all parents: DON’T BELIEVE PLAYTEX AND EVENFLO AND FIRST YEARS AND ALL THE OTHER BRANDS BESIDES GERBER. THEY’RE CRAP!!!!
Ah, that feels better. :)

We have had good luck with the Advent ones, but the Gerber ones are really good too. Those are the only two brands that we keep using.
