@orlaithsheanon16 you know this is the Internet right? I mean what is with people? You post a UO and you must know that you will get flamed. Honestly, maybe the bump isn't for you. You need to grow thicker skin.

I can and in the past have taken the flames over things I've said. However what Lindsey said was that she read through all the posts to see what stupid things I had said. If you can't see what's nasty about that well then there is no point harping on about it. To specifically target someone just to be nasty for nasty sake is not nice. Also Lindsey didn't participate in UO except to purposefully cause hurt and insult me. Yes I'm hurt. And unfortunately sometimes we do take stock in what strangers say even if they are strangers. I might not like Lindsey but I certainly wouldn't comment on threads just to insult demean or hurt her.

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't read it like that at all. I read it as that she read through the whole 7 pages and the only things that stuck out were the stupid things you said.
 About the second highlighted portion, I can honestly say, there is not one person here that I actually dislike. I think it's stupid really to dislike someone you don't know. Sure, there are people on A13 that I may disagree with on topics. There are others I find more entertaining because our personalities seem to mesh better. However, I don't actually dislike any of you, and I'm usually a very opinionated person, even though I don't always show it here. I think it's stupid to dislike someone who you don't actually "know".
Maybe that should go in the UO thread, oh well I put it here.
@orlaithsheanon16, maybe you do need to leave or take a break. If anything that goes down here bothers you that much. If being called stupid is that hurtful, you have more serious issues to deal with than being on some internet forum shooting the shit.

My confession: I'm totes happy people are seeing @roxpink for who she is. Her FFFC is just another reason I don't like her. Don't forget her random "let's meet up" even though I don't know any of you thread. She's totes rocking this mom thing cause her kids STTN. Yea.....

Yeah it must be a shame people are seeing the real me. I guess it is hard for you to see someone being happy and positive instead of sad and miserable.

And trust me when I say just because you don't like me doesn't mean I am going anywhere.

You weren't being happy and positive. You were bragging about something that you literally have no control over, knowing well that loads of people on here are struggling with their baby's sleep. 

So now moms can't be happy ( and post it ) that their LOs can roll over or sit up because there are other LOs that can't?

Just answer this question:

What part of your original post is a confession? We've had like 50 posts about wanting more kids. You're not alone in thinking of a 3rd...

That is my FFFC. Us possibly trying for a third. I don't see how just because other people are thinking about it too, doesn't make it a FFFC.

"So excited, my baby is sitting up now!!"

"My baby can sit up. Best Mom ever!"

@roxpink I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that you stated your kid STTN and whatever.  It's the fact that you basically said "My kid sleeps through the night, so I'm better than all of you! HA!". You may not have said that word for word, but that's exactly how it came across, and I think that's how you meant it, probably after the flaming you got with the meet up thread. 

My kid doesn't STTN.  She barely sleeps 2 hours.  I'm extremely sleep deprived, yet I get up and get both me and LO dressed every day. My house is clean.  Bills are paid. There is dinner made every night.  I have my shit together. Which means I am also rocking this mom thing.

There moms on here that stay in pj's all day.  Or don't clean their house.  But ya know what? Their baby is happy.  And healthy.  And ALIVE.  And they get through every single day.  That means they are also rocking the mom thing. 

There is not a single mom on here that isn't rocking the mom thing.  So don't go around thinking you are better than everyone because your kid STTN. You got lucky.

I don't read books to LO.  We have a ton, I love reading myself, we talk to him constantly.  But actually sitting him down and reading a book doesn't happen.  He hates sitting still so the few times I've tried just haven't worked out.  I know we should, but spending the few hours I have with him during the week trying to hold him down and read to him isn't the way I want to spend my time.

@theusualmischief, I had the same problem - we would read a book as part of LO's bedtime routine (after bath before boob), but she got very squirmy, so now, DH reads to her while she nurses. She can't see the pictures, but I figure she'll eventually be more excited about that, and then we can go back to reading on it's own.

My FFFC - I have been able to lose most of my pg weight just by exercising. I haven't needed to watch what I eat, so I'm using that as an excuse to take LO to a great local bakery today and buy many delicious treats. I will probably eat them all before DH gets home. Sorry/not sorry DH!

This. The way you phrased your post was equivalent to the BS lyndsjane posted about hating breastfeeding months ago. She was insensitive to the struggle that others were going through at the time, myself included. What you posted was insensitive to those who are dealing with horrible sleep issues. My lo pretty much sttn too. You don't see me going around making AW posts about it. I don't assume it means I'm an awesome mom.  I consider it a blessing and trade off for all the other crappy stuff I have had to deal with. I don't post about it because I don't feel the need rub others people noses in their misfortune. It would be the same if someone made a post saying they must the best mom ever because their lo was born totally healthy.  
If you really want to stick around here, pull your head out of your ass. No one likes a cocky bitch.

I get it. However it wasn't my intentions to rub it in anyone's face. I have had my share of babies getting up every hour and the many struggles that come with parenthood. Once you hit one phase and get use to it, bam, there is a new phase and a new challenge. It takes a little bit of luck, knowledge, and support to get through it all. I guess I'm just use to my other BMB being more supportive and up beat also being more happy for ones successes... Whether it be luck or not.

@roxpink I'm happy for you.  honestly.  I would give my left arm to have my baby sleep through the night.  Hell, I'd give it just to have 3 consecutive hours.  It's not that we aren't happy, and supportive.  It's how you came across.  Like I said, whether you meant it or not, you can across as saying you are a better mom than the rest of us because your kid sleeps through the night.

@roxpink do you live under a rock? We are extremely supportive of each other and I am thrilled for the mamas who have LOs that STTN. We don't know you. If this BMB is so awful, go back to yours. We don't want you here anyways.

@petey1106 she never took the time
to get to know the board before jumping in trying to do "meet ups" lol. Were very fucking upbeat. No point of trying to explain it. Really is a lost cause here...

And if you actually LURKED the board before posting a "meet up" thread you would know a lot of A13 bumpies have. Again, no one knows you. That's creepy as hell. You're clearly not new to TB. I guess intros and actually getting a feel for a board is overrated *eyeroll*

Well I guess that's it. I didn't lurk or sit here and just read posts so that's exactly why I made a post about meet ups. I wasn't being a creep. However if that's how you see it, we can agree to disagree. I also did an intro post.

DS was fussy the other day so I tried the  youtube video in hopes that it would make him happy.  He watched it for a minute then cried as if I had subjected him to the worst thing ever.  I have to say I was a little relieved he did not like it. On the other hand I was bummed because I still had a fussy baby.

@roxpink I am not sad and miserable. I have a baby that doesn't sttn. A lot of times he is up every 45 minutes and just as I get settled back to sleep, bam he's awake. I manage to go to school full time, commute back and forth 3.5 hours twice a week between homes and spend half a Saturday cooking so that my other 2 littles and DH don't have to worry about what is for dinner during the week while I'm in school. No I don't have a baby that sttn, I'm not sad and miserable, we are having another and oh yea, I'm rockin this mom thing.

The only reason I don't dress LO in a ridiculous costume every day is because we can't afford a bunch of costumes.  If we're slightly better off when the next one comes along, he/she better watch out.

OMG can you hook to a little speaker that plays the jaws theme song? So LO will waddle down the beach to jaws

If you do that with a theme song you HAVE to record it and post it, that would be amazing!!

My FFFC I am bumping instead of doing my art discussion. I like art but as it turns out analyzing and discussing art=one of the most boring things ever. A box of rocks would be more fun (and not exciting rocks like fossils or gems). Then again a box of rocks could be art...

@Roxpink I don't remember what sleep is. I think I am pretty much "rocking the mom thing" by just getting through each day.

My baby is 6 months and still up every 1-3 hours constantly. We average 5 wake-ups per night. Naps are a struggle. I guess I suck at being a Mom, according to @roxpink. 

My FFFC: I have no idea how to tell if DD has peed in her bath. For all I know, she's been bathing in her own urine this whole time. At least it's sanitary, right? 

Marvel1013

I'm beyond exhausted but still manage to entertain both my children, feed them and myself, clean (most days) and do anything else that is needed.. But LO doesn't STTN and never has. She's up multiple times a night..but I'm a shit mom right. I think you need to reword what you said @roxpink, because seriously.. You're a twat.

Yeah it must be a shame people are seeing the real me. I guess it is hard for you to see someone being happy and positive instead of sad and miserable.

And trust me when I say just because you don't like me doesn't mean I am going anywhere.

You weren't being happy and positive. You were bragging about something that you literally have no control over, knowing well that loads of people on here are struggling with their baby's sleep. 

So now moms can't be happy ( and post it ) that their LOs can roll over or sit up because there are other LOs that can't?




No one is saying don't be happy. Be happy your kid is sleeping. But the moms aren't on here saying they are amazing moms because their kid rolled over. Like some PP have said. Congrats that your LO is sleeping 1- that has nothing to do with you being a rocking mom and 2- that's not a confession.

Revez

@roxpink Do you want a fucking round of applause or something? Must be nice to be perfect.

A. That isn't a confession. That's saying you want another baby because of your *perfection*. There are a lot of moms on here planning for another. Click here: Thread that you probably should have read before assuming that was a confession.

B. You are implying that you are an awesome mom because your kids are good sleepers. Which in turn implies that those of us with bad sleepers are bad moms. Every.single.mom. here has their struggles. And every.single.mom. here is dealing with their own challenges and struggles (whatever they may be) and they all deserve a big fucking pat on the back for being awesome moms despite what they're going through.

I should have a new confession that I'm rocking this mom thing. Despite dealing with PPD, being sleep deprived, dealing with family and having major anxiety among other things. I still get up every day (and night) and put on a big smile because I have a beautiful little girl that needs me and I love her more than anything else in this world. THAT makes me (and everyone else here) an awesome fucking mom.

PS. I think I'm in a bad mood today, ladies...
