Gro Egg - judgemental yet we will survive

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live with you glowing red on the side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're red
From all this heat
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have unplugged your stupid plug, I should have trusted my own instincts
If I'd known for just one second you'd just sit there judging me
Go on now, go, stop demanding more
Just turn yellow now
'Cause you're not helping anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with a sadface
Do you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
We will survive!

Just thinking that I can't be the only one who thinks that GroEggs are judgemental and can add extra stress. I do understand that they can be helpful but sometimes when they sit there silently staying the obvious as you do your level best it is tough not to mutter at GroEgg.

I would like to think that resorting to disco adaptations is a less violent way of addressing grumbles with my GroEgg.

Does anyone else get irritated by their GroEgg?

didn't have a gro egg but had an ignorant baby monitor that heeled whenever it got over 25 degrees in babies room! it used to stress me out so much, but then I realised if I turned it off I wouldn't know the temperature, and evenings were much smoother after that lol x

Oh yes. We have a gro egg and separate digital thermometer in our room, both always say a high temperature even when we are freezing!!!!! Don't think they work at all.
