@nursemommy13 I didn't realize they made 11oz bottles. My girls both only ever took 8oz at a time and just ate some kind of food the rest of the time. Good to know!

Some people are genuinely nice people who tend to people please.  Some people just don't like drama.  There's nothing not real about that.  I tend to avoid drama on here because I just don't have the time or energy to get involved with internet wars.  I also avoid drama in real life because it's just not worth it.  I don't see any issue at all with that.  

+1 . Well said. 

Jan, I appreciate your brutal honesty. I also appreciate Was's witty and helpful replies. I miss kellen and Cindy being around, I think you guys had a lot to contribute. Maybe that makes me a fake people pleaser? Oh well. This board is fun, entertaining, and definitely helpful, but for me it stops there. It's not the be all and end all. Some people might get on my nerves sometimes, but I'm not going complain about it because it's just not worth it.

@calikat80 You could have hooked up with Jimmy Fallon!?!?! Jealous over here ... (I find him very goofy-cute.)

Well I'm guessing when he left the bar with me at midnight to come back to my dorm room he didn't actually think I meant I wanted to "watch Dawson's creek." DH said there is no way even the nicest guy thinks he isn't getting some in those circumstances unless he's gay. But Jimmy Fallon is truly one of the funniest, nicest guys I have ever met and did indeed watch an entire episode of Dawson's with me on my dorm couch and then left at 3 am without getting even a kiss.

@workinit your post before reminded me that MH is travelling to San Diego next Sunday-Wednesday!!! I'm gonna stock up on booze in the interim.

I agree with @araziza. I'm just too busy chasing around my child who is getting into everything to actually sit down, compose my thoughts, and type out anything meaningful. I guess maybe a little too lazy, too.

Should I give you all my hugs and rainbows Giggle? I don't have many but I can muster a few lol! <:-P

HeartLikeMine3

I hope I didn't make anyone feel bad for venting. @nursemommy13, you better not go!
Life is the good, the bad and the ugly and we are here to help you through it all. To clarify what I meant was sometimes I wish I didn't have to scroll through the pages of HUGS @soandso. I wish there was just a hug button that we could just push.

numbersgirl08

I don't have an issue with people being blunt - or sharing their opinions - I find that refreshing when people are honest.  What seemed kind of weird to me was the very out-of-nowhere bashing of @WasNotWas.  Maybe it wasn't out of nowhere and I just haven't noticed.  But I was scratching my head trying to figure out what was going on.  It seemed a little different from someone just sharing their blunt opinion about a topic.  Maybe that's because I didn't go over to Parenting to read the topic copied over here.  Who knows.   

HeartLikeMine3

@numbersgirl08, I'm with you seems like it just came out of thin air but then again this is the only board I read.

I feel like no amount of vacuuming will ever be enough. I forgot how annoying this stage is. I told my H yesterday, "He was having trouble getting the puff positioned right between his fingers and getting it in his mouth, but he can tweezer the tiniest piece of nothing off the floor and shove it between his lips no problem." And, of course it isn't just crumbs on the floor. It's the battle of making sure Barbie shoes stay in the girls room and other tiny choking hazards.

TheTamedShrew

Three things:

1. I personally suspect that @jancandance is an introverted hugger IRL.  :P

2. I share the popular opinion that @wasnotwas seems (real) fabulous.

3. ditto to what @heartlikemine3 said. I can't keep up with who needs all the ((hugs)) lately.

Same here. But replace Barbie shoes with these tiny nuts and bolts from an ages 4+ Tool box boy from grandma and grandpa for his birthday. Thanks guys for helping to make sure the second born chokes!

Like real life, there are some people on here that I don't particularly care for and would probably want to strangle if I were to be around them for an extended period of time. I just ignore those people as it would be a waste of my time and breath calling them out. That's how I operate in real life too.

I do think that this board is depressing as of late so I just skim most of the time. It's not anybody's fault but that just seems that a lot of the posts are sad lately. I'd prefer to read happy posts but that's not real life either.

JANCANDANCE

Lol @thetamedshrew I'm not! I promise. But I find it hilarious that everyone is saying things like bash, belittle...no one has done anything like that. I just stated my opinion and clearly you all don't like it. Move on. I have and my feelings will not change. AT ALL.

Chicago...how's about you cool your jets this morning. Everyone is making this out to be more than what it is. Like for real.

I will agree that Chicago does seem to have a fiery bug up her rear lately.

ColieAnn31

We are going car shopping today and I'm dreading it. I don't want to have to get a new car. Who says that right?? Lol at least it's a decent day so it won't be miserably cold walking around.

KellenHi21

There was no "coordinated attack" FYI. I already said my piece. The whole thing really isn't that big a deal. I havent been around much cause life has just gotten in the way, but I do love and appreciate this board and what it did for me. I learned so much from many of you ladies and made some wonderful friends, and am beyond grateful.

ChicagoChic82 said:

I should cool my jets and get the fiery bug out of my butt? What was it? Defending someone from an unnecessary attack last night? Or was it posting funny pictures of our house hunt? Oh, I know, it was posting pictures of my adorable baby boy! In any event, I'm sure a lot of ladies on here have felt my support and 'net love recently, so if it doesn't please you @Jan or @tiffles, tough noogies.

I honestly think you are straight up mean sometimes.

Isn't that how life works? We all click better with some people. I think Chicago is awesome, and has been there for me anytime I advice or just needed to vent. I don't recall ever seeing a post from her that was particularly mean.

Absolutely that is how life works but nobody should be chastising somebody else when they come off as nasty quite frequently. Pot meet kettle.

For example jumping on new posters for not "properly" introducing themselves. There are many more instances as well when your commentary was less than pleasant.

Love it was of support. He looks so sweet. Here's hoping it blows over soon.

JANCANDANCE

First of all, where is this attack you all speak of? No one was attacked. I have actually been pretty chill about the entire thing. Just said what I had to say is all. Calm waaaaaay the fuck down. Jesus ladies. I've said my "peace" with Was. She knows where I stand and vice versa...so if you all would like to carry on that could be good as well.

KellenHi21

@chicagochic, you can't be that unaware of how you act. Apparently you believe someone died and made you queen bee with the final word in all the things. I said what I said to @was in a polite way and was not at all mean about it (you can still respectfully disagree with something/someone, FYI). You on the other hand go from 0 to 60 in less than a second.

@chicagochic82 is mean? Wow, I really missed something then. I PPH her.

CL8badB said:

So Jan can be fiery but Chicago cant? ETA this is not a dig at Jan.

Nobody said she couldn't be. The difference is Jan never claims to be anything else. Whereas just the simple mention of me saying she's been opinionated lately has her all in defense mode because all she does is post house hunting pictures and adorable squish and I'm now a big meanie too. If you want to be firey, by all means, do so. Just if someone says something, wear it proudly. Don't get all butthurt about it.

Girl, I have zero interest in what you have to say!

UMM no one talks to Hawaii5-0 like that? I would love to know where you got this new ballsy attitude?  You are the same Chicago who flagged me for the incident with Carolyn correct? I mean I'm not knocking you speaking your mind...just hella curious.  You seem more upset than anyone lol.

This is exactly the point! Is that the "real" her.  She wasn't that way before.  So it doesn't seem genuine.  Meh...people can behave however they want and we can choose to like it or not. Just seems out of character for her as of late.

This is hilarious.  She has been "rude" today but she is fiery and fun.  I said I didn't like someone and I have bashed, belittled, and attacked.  THAT IS FUNNY.

y'all are something else.

Anybody can be whatever they want to be but don't be a hypocrite and call somebody out for "attacking" somebody when you have done he same.

@workinit I knew somebody would say something about "butthurt". I personally love the word, but I know some people really hate it. I also really like "twatwaffle" and "douchecanoe". :P

@WasNotWas  I think just over time I have questioned your motivation about things.  I just find things odd ya know.  Are we civil...hell yes.  But I have had many an eye roll to somethings.  It could be me. Who knows? I think you are witty, charming, and a great mom but there is just something I can't put my finger on that doesn't seem 100%.  I am sorry if that hurts you but I just wanted to speak my mind.  I have felt this way for a bit but just never said anything.  I have developed bonds and friendships with people here and for whatever reason I feel that something with you isn't authentic.  Does it make you a horrible person? No.  Does it make me horrible for feeling that way? No. it just is what it is.  I'm not an ass, I just say what is on my heart.  Maybe with more time I will develop something different to go on...who knows.

No one is calling you an ass or a horrible person (or at least I'm not), you are allowed to feel your feelings. I understand the making bonds thing, and maybe that's it, we just haven't made a connection. And that's fine. I was just thinking back and remembering that we never really had an issue that I could recall. I figured since you were responding to people I'd put the question out there.
