If you have spent any time on TB at all you would realize this exactly the point of FFFC. It's never really flame free....
Oh, yes, I've been around enough to know. I've also been around enough not to be butthurt by disagreement. It's fine. I'm not so insecure as a parent as that!
Edited to fix quote fail.
Also to add that I'm perfectly willing to accept that I'm wrong! I just don't see any studies out there not funded by toothpaste manufacturers or that aren't specifically discussing the idea of bedtime bottles. In the end, I'm the one who takes my son to the dentist so the health professional will be the opinion that carries the most weight, but I'm perfectly happy admitting I'm wrong: have there been any studies NOT pertaining to prolonged contact (i.e. falling asleep with a bottle) that show damage to the teeth?
@gardennymph- sending hugs to you!! I hate that you're going through such a tough time. I don't have any advice, just wanted to let you know that we all love you and are all thinking of you!!!
@gardennymph Another set of stranger hugs. I'm going to second all that was said already. You are not damaged goods in anyway, but I do understand how upsetting it would be to make a big life decision and then have someone change the terms on you. No advice, just support. >:D<
@gardennymph sending hugs. You seem like a strong, levelheaded, intelligent, caring woman who anyone would be lucky to have. And maybe,like you said, the separation is just what he needs to see that.
With or without the ability to have more children, that you are an amazing mother already. You'll find someone who loves you and your babies unconditionally. For now, focus on your kids, and showing them how resilient you can be. You're in my thoughts, lady! Stay strong!
@gardennymph ((HUGS)) I am so sorry you have to go through this. Please don't beat yourself up about geting your tubes tied, that can always be reversed. You may find an amazing guy who loves you and your kids like his own and may be just fine not having any more kids. You have the potential now to have a loving and beautiful blended family with a new guy. You know we will all be here for you if you need us!
Firstly, you having your tubes tied does NOT make you damaged goods. Second, sometimes the break-up is the blessing. Third, I haven't gotten the chance to get to know you much but from what I have seen, you're AMAZING! A very wise woman once said "Eat A Bag Of Dicks", and I think this applies to him if he cannot see this beautiful life that you have built together.
Question for the giant chested (I'm a G), have you found a good nursing bra that you really like? I'm still on the quest and ordering online sucks but no one around me sells such large sizes.
I'm loving my Anita nursing bra. I just have the basic, nude, full coverage, underwire-- but there are other colors and styles. It's very supportive and comfortable. I love that the strap adjuster stays in place well and it has 3 hooks in the back for great support. It could even have 4 hooks for larger sizes. I'm a DD. They run $40-$50 on Amazon but can be closer to $70 at Nordstrom and lingerie boutiques. It's totally worth the money. If you do order one online, I think they run pretty true to size. You know a lot of times expensive bras run a size small, but this one doesn't IMO.
