The reason I hardly post

momhasamigraine

I can't believe all the crap I've been given because of my earlier post.I've been a member since 2011 and rarely post because of these type attacks.Just because my views on bf v ff are different is no reason for me to be attacked,bullied and insulted. Some of the responses completely blew me away. I was just an upset mother posting for advice and you all attacked for no reason at all. I did not post to incite guilt from formula feeding moms. Ifyou formula feed and feel guilty possibly you should examine your self. Perhaps you know it isn't what is best or nature intended,so to validate your decision you feel the need to bash others and talk up how your child is doing so well despite not receiving bm. As I said before I am firmly behind my thoughts on formula and I would never choose that for my child, what you do with your child I don't care.

Your posted was titled "Am I being unreasonable."  Some people told you that, yes, you were, and you didn't like it.  So, for that reason, I call bullshit on this whiney post.  Don't ask for people's opinions if you only want to hear that what you did was right and that your opinions are beyond rigid and downright offensive to some, which you continue to do in this post. 

I happen to be a FF mom because I never was able to produce close to enough for my children.  My first has thrived and I have no bad feelings about her nutrition or that of my son, but I do find it ironic that you refuse to see how you might offend other FF moms, when you yourself claim offense at those that tell you to get off your high horse about a few servings of formula.

Don't like it?  Allow me to show you the way out.  Otherwise, grow up and put on your big girl panties the next time you so much as think about writing posts like either of these.

Hahahahahahahaha oh, you. If you've been reading that long, you know that being a judgy asshole about formula doesn't go over well so you cannot possibly pretend to be surprised that people were not pleased with your post. You started the attack before anyone else. So. Pot kettle black etc etc.

I mean, really, PEPSI. Come on. 

I really liked the suggestion to call poison control. LMK how it goes.

The way you described formula was antagonistic, insulting, and bullying towards women who for whatever reason choose that route.  It was extremely judgmental, if you really "didn't care" what other women did with their children you wouldn't have taken such a shitty tone.  If anyone is looking to validate themselves on this forum it's you, and you were the one who started the bashing.  Get over yourself.

MrsWindyCity

Really? You can't believe it? You didn't think that calling formula substandard chemical junk that made you sob all day could offend people who FF? I mean, really?

So, if I told you that I didn't agree with daycare because I would rather someone not raise my kid for me, you would be okay with that?

ETA: ftr, I send my kid to daycare so my last thought is not, like, a real thought in case that didn't come across. :-\

MagickalNarwhal

You know what? On second thought you are totally right. All the women here are total jerks. They are totally just defensive because they are actively harming their kids but are in denial so they can, um, spend more money? No, um, wash bottles for an hour a day? Wait no, well, never mind that, the actual point is that this place is so hostile to women like you who are actually good parents that it is probably best if you just don't ever post here again. I can imagine it's really upsetting to you to have people insult your perfection as a parent so, you're right. No more posting for you. Bye!

Mrsdrev929

You attacked those who ff for no reason. You're against it sure but what about those who CAN'T breast feed? Do you realize how upset I was when told I don't have the boobs to do it. Then read nonsense like yours offending those who "poison" their kids. Grow up. Don't like attacks don't come on here plain and simple.

Are you fucking serious?? You have done nothing but act like a total bitch!

I 100% agree with you that they should have called first, but beyond that YOU are the one that is totally out of place and wrong!

Just don't post then, if you can't see how insulting and disgusting you are.. Just don't

This is really really saying something! And, I agree. Congrats, looks like breastfeeding has at least made YOU the best at something!

geez. are you kidding me? grow a pair and get the fuck over it.

ELauren88

OP, you are ridiculous.

BlondieBia21

I thought you rarely posted because you're bat shit crazy and too busy being better than the rest of us lowly formula feeding moms.

ilovemarfa

You're a joke. You spent more time
spewing garbage about how toxic formula is than you did complaining about how daycare never called you. If the post was truly about the fact thy didn't call, you wouldn't have gone off on the nutritional value of formula. Like I said in the another post, karma stinks and maybe you'll dry out prematurely and have no choice but to feed your kid Pepsi or formula.

Bensmom13

As stated before, people aren't pissed because you bf and think its better. People are pissed because you're being a total ass about FF and contributing to major formula guilt that some moms feel.

I especially like the analogy that someone said about sending your kid to daycare. Wouldn't you be pissed if someone said that you're providing substandard care for your kid and they need to be home with you!? (I obviously don't actually feel this way)

Just go back to your life and stop being a dick.

Erino901

Yeaaaaaaah.  I am going to need to you get back on whatever sactimommy-ious high horse you rode here whenever you decided to crawl out from under that muddy troll bridge and slink off into the sunset.  Cause seriously......

The things you said?  Not. Nice.  You rode in all bitchy-witchy and then get upset when people have a poor reaction?  You did not want advice.  If you wanted advice, you would've said "Soooo, my DC did something against my wishes, how should I address this situation?"  Not get on your soap box, high horse, close minded, rage parade about formula being akin to "pepsi" (?wtf?).  You intentionally wanted to make people feel put down.  Attacked for no reason at all???  You were not attacked.  You did the attacking and were greeted with pushback and you didn't like it.  

I started to get mad at your other post.  Really, really mad.  And then I realized it had to be made up.  Cause seriously.  It just doesn't make sense.  AT. ALL.  So then I just became annoyed that you rode in here, guns blazing, to make FF mammas feel bad...and I don't even GO to this school, my kid is almost a year old.  It just pisses me off that you're intentionally trying to make mothers who have to make the decision to FF feel like scum on a shoe, and for that, I want to throat punch you so bad right now.

Now, this is the story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say is that this cab was rare
But I thought Man forget it Yo home to Bel Air
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked to my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

Greywolf12

Oh give me a break! We are upset because you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I was formula fed and against all odds I not only finished high school, I got a university degree and an accounting designation and I'm a very successful accountant! SHOCKING! I am also extremely healthy and have never had health problems.

@turtlemomma wins again. :x

1. I can't understand half of your rambling post, editing is your friend.

2. You're an ass for your comparison of FF to feeding a child Pepsi. We're more of a Coca-Cola household, thank you.

3. If you don't like it here, GTFO.

1. This didn't need a new thread
2. You posted asking us if you were being unreasonable. YOU ASKED.
3. You attacked formula moms
4. I don't know how you will make it through the next 18 years without being commited. This wasn't the last time that your efforts for raising a super-human will be compromised. I sure hope you allow your LO to have a somewhat enjoyable childhood.
5. A lot of people are side-eyeing you for putting your infant in a day care center. I'm shocked that you would do this considering how insane you got over a bottle of friggin formula.

amandarins

OP, are YOU still being breast fed?

NicoleNielsen59

Did anyone call Poison Control yet?

kklee0710

You got attacked because you didn't like people saying you we're being unreasonable AND you then insulted anyone using formula. Fine you don't want to use it for your child and you say you don't care what the rest of us do but clearly you do because you're still posting. I was very insulted by what you said. I have to supplement because my child has issues bf.

You're an idiot. GTFO!

Diet Pepsi > Diet Coke.  It's scientifically proven by the University of Me.

Oh no... Coke Products >>> Pepsi Products! Everyone knows that... lol :P

Diet Coke >>>>> all things.

Oh for Christ's sake. You asked a question & got a variety of answers. Put on your big girl undies & deal with it.

jlp0528

Reaaaalllyyyy?? Telling women to examine themselves about their guilt bc it goes against nature!? Are you saying the women who cannot breastfeed are in some way deserving of the guilt and should look at themselves? That's unbelievably low and out of control. You need someone to knock your high horse out from under you!! How incredibly insensitive and cruel. Again-- some have no choice in the matter! Nature must not like them as much as you!

imakeeff0rts

Are you serious with this shit? Really? "If you're feeling guilty you need to evaluate your choices?" 

I'm pretty sure that YOU are the one shaming mothers who FF by calling the thing with which they nourish their children "poison, crap"...etc. 

All of the people that pointed out your sanctimonious bullshit were right in doing so. Because what you said was just that - sanctimonious bullshit. 

I wonder how you're going to react when your kid goes over to someone's house and eats a slice of pizza or a pudding cup. I'd pay to be the fly on that wall. 

I've seen some psychotic posts on this site before, but yours should win some kind of award. 

MrsClaus8

Good lord, you are not the victim here!

Nukke

OP, you need to read this article.  I don't even think you realise just how cruel you are being to the mums out there that choose to FF their babies.  https://www.huffingtonpost.com/kim-simon/milk-drunk-breastfeeding_b_3494130.html

I truly hope your eyes are opened to what a complete sanctimonious douche you're coming across as.

emmanemm

If a mother CANNOT BF for whatever reason, what exactly do you propose they do? Honestly.
Like seriously, if you have another kid and bf is impossible what are you going to do?

Yea, I'll just be sure to let my bff know of what garbage she has to feed her baby; that she SHOULD feel guilty that her bout with breast cancer, and ultimately a double mastectomy at 24, has made her unable to provide as a mother. How cruel of her.. /end sarcasm

JLMcWeeney

Get over yourself, and don't post if you hate how people are on these boards.

ASmallWonder

Oh, go fuck yo self, for real.  You felt bullied, judged and ganged up on?  How do you think the other mothers felt?  I have no guilt about formula feeding.  ZERO.  What I do have is an intolerance for the intolerant and people who feel it is their life's mission to TRY to make other people feel shitty.  I'm proud to say that in my case, you failed at your mission.  Doesn't make your efforts any less shitty.
