Here in backwardsland we have the "oops oh well" policy. Works wondersOriginally Posted by leapfreak
Thus I contract latent tb at 40 and since the prophylaxis destroys my liver, Im shit outta luck. My doctor pretty much was like "well we probably wont have to worry about it until youre older, or if you are diagnosed with something else that compromises your immune system. Awesomesauce , Ill start saving for an iron lung right now

Yeah, I'm sorry, Natasha, but my aunt breastfed her son forever because she was paranoid about losing his attachment to her, and it definitely took a toll on his social normality when he started school. And this is by her own guilty admission. Your situation is not always the only case.
You slept with mike so he would ban me. change your sig..the pretentious look how hipster face is so old ooh you like guys with glasses..ooooh
Thank you!
Oh ron, I love how you're super into parenting issues and up in arms and against anything I'm for.
It was funny because TFD has something against attachment parenting. I do agree that it's really stupid that they introduced the bottle on his first day of daycare, noob mistake for sure.
Attachment parenting isn't a fad. Some parents take it to extremes, as in all methods of parenting. For me, it means I don't let my newborn cry (toddlers and older infants are a different situation) and I am the caretaker 99 percent of the time. I wear when convenient and I breastfeed.
My situation is the norm among almost all of my "mom friends". We all breastfed until two or beyond and none did it for freaky attachment issues. We are all pretty honest about wanting to be done as soon as our littles are ready. It would be nice to have some distance, and I'm secretly wishing that Avi is done in time for our anniversary so that we can have a night away.
I am?
I just know if I had kid(s) with you we'd come to blows on a daily basis.
ETA: but I don't see what's funny about TFD saying a kid is all out of sorts and disrupting everyone. I'm being serious here.

I also believe and practice "attachment parenting" although I never knew there was a name and I don't go to extreme. I never let my kids cry it out, but gave them room to explore and make their own mistakes (not dangerous ones) and I have happy, healthy, confident kids that think for themselves. Sure they seem clingy to other people when they are young, but I call that bonded. They listen better, they behave better and most of all they trust me to provide them with what they need.
And I can't say I have NEVER let them cry something out. There is a difference between letting your kid cry because they are maybe in trouble or something vs. crying because they need something.
We still have to get the tb tests here before going into healthcare. Bodhi had to get one when he started volunteering.
You need it to work in a school here too, and to volunteer with kids.
Meh. Adrien has his say, which is why Avi was circumcised. He has gotten a full night's rest every night since Avi was born, so yeah, he's totally on board.I am?

Beefy, I get you. Both of my kids whine a lot,especially at grocery stores, especially today. If I was going to spank, today would have been the day to get started for sure. I'm sure my kids seem whiny and spoiled because I don't spank them into submission. My shopping trips take a long time because I frequently stop what I'm doing and look them in the eyes and tell them what they're doing is wrong. I explain why and we move on. My sister, meanwhile, also has a really whiny kid, and every time I go anywhere with her, she's yelling, he's yelling, she's threatening to spank him, he's smacking her. NIGHTMARE.

You deserve a medal just for not leaving them at the fire station. But then again, no one told you to have em...and you get tax breaks (right?) so it's all fair.
lol sorry that just reminded me of this mom once who had a screaming baby in a restaurant and she kept going, "This behavior is really embarrassing me. I can't tolerate this. It's insensitive and inconsiderate' to the baby while it screamed instead of taking it outside. The baby was about 6 months old. It was so dumb. Like explaining orally to your dog why they shouldn't jump on people or bark.

That lady is an asshole and was actually being cruel to the baby and rude to the other people at the restaurant. She was ignoring the baby's needs.
Avi is 2 1/2 and Millie is 4 1/2, and I say things like "If you raise your voice like that, you hurt peoples' ears, use your inside voice."
Not really rocket science and it works.
I actually enjoy it most of the time, believe it or not!Jesus Christ, I don't know how people even have children. Shit sounds exhausting.

I'm told we get tax breaks but for some reason this past year we didn't get shit.
I don't believe most folks, I actually do believe you.
I can't reply on my phone. I don't have anything against attachment parenting but I do have an issue with using a parenting style that is clearly not benefiting your child. I don't know why you chose to scoff at that when you yourself stated that attachment parenting wasn't your daughter's thing but it works for your son. Being that attached to their child has clearly not served him well. Especially if he is screaming for hours on end if he's not being held. It's going to affect his cognitive and motor development. And yes, I do know something about that.
Um no, Millie WAS attachment parented, but didn't need as much so wasn't held constantly and didn't cosleep past two months of age.
I'm simply saying he might be parented that way BECAUSE he's high needs. He's a baby. What's the alternative to so called "attachment parenting" a baby? Ignoring them? Placing them in front of a tv? I think most parenting at that age IS attachment parenting, because it has to be.
Avi has difficulties, if I put him in daycare he would not do well. Thankfully I'm able to stay at home until he's ready, if I put him in daycare I would hope that the providers looked at other factors instead of thinking I caused whatever difficulties he's having.
Apparently this is normal? I've wanted to be as involved as I can be with raising my boy, but both of my brother in laws slept/sleep through the night on a regular basis while my sisters do the work.Meh.

Once we let Nolan cry it out a little last night he went to bed at 10 and I got to sleep til 5. We don't just leave him in his crib to cry. We let him cry for a while, then go in and rock him, put him down to cry some more. Rinse and repeat.
Ron, kids are exhausting but I wouldn't trade him for the world.
The only time parents have said that they wish they didn't have their kid was when alcohol was involved.
Actually.....I think someone admitted it to me sober once.

If my boy is allergic to peanuts we'll figure out another way to travel. Why should 100+ people be inconvenienced because of one.The only time parents have said that they wish they didn't have their kid was when alcohol was involved.

Really. Just because you have a kid doesn't mean you should inconvenience others. I was pissed off at people that brought their baby to a movie. I'd be pissed if I went out to eat and someones screaming kid ruins it. I also don't act like I always have the right of way at the store because I'm pushing a stroller. People are assholes and I try hard not to join them.
Uh, there's a huge difference between a school you attend every day with the same people and an airplane filled with random people.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Cap-n Meow again.
I AP'd my kid, too. I didn't do it on purpose. It was just easier for everyone in the house to whip my boob out and feed her and to wear her. It kept her from screaming and driving everyone crazy (Lol @ bowie's restaurant mom story). I didn't have to clean bottles, er, make my husband clean bottles. We didn't tote a huge stroller around, and wearing her made it impossible for grabby strangers to come up and put their hands all over my kid. As for the cry-it-out thing: I've never understood how any mother could let their infant lay and scream for extended periods of time without offering some sort of comfort? To each her own, but that shit gives me the sads and it would have made my boobs leak terribly.
