wait a goddamned second *Flames shooting out eyes*

1) re: my baby weight gain post, i never saw anyone's post about legitimate failure to thrive, OF COURSE this is a real issue, and i wouldn't slight something like this.   I was talking about MOST POSTS i see are people worrying about a low %, in general, which as i stated has nothing to do with anything.   

2) @PSYCHDOC, re your quote:  "Agreed. I'll probably get flamed for this, but I'm a little sick of CV randomly popping on every few days or so, judging the board and posting a bunch of random dear diary posts. That's not contributing."         Really??? IS there a quota I have to meet daily to be "contributing" ?? and judging the board?? I am mostly posting about usual three month old woes , at least i thought??   I have a very active 5 year old and a constantly eating three month old who never sleeps, i barely have time to pee let alone read the bump every day.  I HATE mobile bumping, so i try to jump on my laptop at night, if i am not half dead from exhaustion. So yeah, i am a bit off the radar, but I still lurk and see what is going on. This was the douchiest comment ever, and you are the one deserving the call-out, not me.

And once again, I have missed everything! 

I will say that Ellie had her 4 month check up and has only gained 2 pounds in 2 months. She doesn't fuss or give signs that she's hungry, so we assumed she was good. She's pretty long though, so she's growing, just not getting chunky. It's pretty heart wrenching to hear that your baby is in the 10th percentile (I know it means nothing to you CV) for weight, but she's in the 70th for length.

:-S

Dafuq did I miss?? (Obvi I'm like CV who hardly ever gets a chance to pop over here any more)

Maybe you meant to simply be your usual smart alec self and refer generally to people you felt didn't understand that growth percentages weren't a race/test but your
comments clearly weren't received as such.

Since I've been back at work, I worry about supply every. damn. day. so DS's weight is a big deal to me.

I personally did not think your post intended to be offensive. I would have taken it as a "don't worry about it" type of thing instead of a "quit your bitching" type of thing BUT there were two posts that day dealing with low percentiles; concerns about Bridget's weight and a BF thread where many woman spoke about concerns with weight. So if the intention was for it to be a "don't worry about it" type thread than it was ill timed.

In response to @psychdoc's comment I think it is all about your tone. Again, don't know if you mean to come off as judgemental, but just about every time you have responded to one of my posts the snark is palpable and I feel as though I can see your eye's rolling on my computer screen.

This. We're all busy and some of us are on here more than others. I myself have 3 kids (two with special needs), a full time job and a baby that doesn't sleep. When I can get on here I try to be supportive and helpful. I don't think anyone would have a problem with you popping up from time to time if all of your posts weren't so snarky. I used to be a huge fan, but I gotta side with @psychdoc on this one. Oh, btw, I'm totes worried about my LO's percentile because he has major feeding issues due to his cleft palate.

Agreed. It was just bad timing considering posts from that day. And I also think some people don't know the
CV persona too.

It's a fine line sometimes, and occasionally almost transparent, but yeah, it's there. As @NRyan55 said, the newer someone is to the board, the less likely they are to know that CV was just being CV and not to take it so seriously or personally.



I really think that discussion was just bad timing.

when i come on here, i am normally scanning things, and then saying whateverthefuck i think (hello, when has this ever been different). so yes i sometimes miss posts/discussions going on at the same time.    

 and yes MANY do confuse the % with something that is negative or positive.  can the %  be a sign something is wrong? YES OF COURSE, and yes then you have every right to worry.   If anyone read what i wrote, i siad my first son had been in the 5th, FIFTH percentile (i believe even in 3rd at one point)  and while i worried, i realized that he was still ok-- he was still on the curve.  so, as a second time mom,  i was passing on my sage advice trying to say some of you don't HAVE to worry as much or think the % means something negative, it doesnst always!.    this is what i was trying to say the whole goddamned time!

I know when I was looking into college I would have rather died than stay in my state. Luckily my cousin works in financial aid at a University in Boston so I had options. However, if I was forced to go to a state school I may have really resented my parents.

LOL, if my child said this to me i would say see you later and kick their ass out the door, sans a single cent.  you sound like  a foolish, whining brat

ETA: is is NOT a parents' personal responsibility to fund college.  If they do, it's awesome and generous, but it's not something they HAVE TO DO just because they are your parents.  douche.

I agree with @sleepy33 this is just CV being CV. I admit the timing was pretty bad though. I believe there were at least two posts that day 1 was 5%, but the other one the poster said their daughter was not even on the charts. I remember when we were having BFing issues and DD wasn't gaining weight. It was extremely stressful. I feel for all Mommas that are dealing with this.

psychdoc12

I don't think "CV being CV" is an excuse, and I've been here (lurking, then active) since the time this board was first created. If you're going to be snarky and rude, even if that's your personality, I can call you out on it. 

CV, if you don't think you've been creating an awful lot of dear diary posts recently, then I guess we'll have to disagree. You seem to create a new thread every time something new happens to your LO, even if there have been many threads on that topic in the recent past that you could reply to instead. It seems like an attention grab.

@amjoy25 I am not here for your entertainment!

Snarky replies are cooler from a reg than from a drive by. CV's somewhere in between at this point. @psychdoc's statement - yeah, pretty true of late. Need for a call out post? Not even close. Carry on.

oh yes, in my sleep deprived state, my first goal is to AW anything and everything I can about my baby.  Since you know, being near tears about the 12 week GS is really AW worthy!   and as for "there are other posts"  about the same topic, that is the LAMEST thing to say.  This is how the board works, people post , sometimes concurrently, sometimes repeating questions, because unlike you seem to, i don't  have time to scroll back and see if my question was already answered (PLUS most babies on here are way ahead of me, he was born Nov 1!), so should i scroll back 4+ weeks???   anyway, this is what makes the board go 'round sister!   If i have a freaking question i am going to ask it, just like everyone else.

Honestly, it was an impulsive reaction to her making other people feel bad yet again. I think it was my first callout ever. I'm so glad it's spawned its own thread.

Thanks Natalie#s although I think that may be a poor example because I didn't give enough info in my first response and I can see how it could come off as being a spoiled bitch. I am totally fine being snarked at when warranted.

@CousinVicki it is more just small things. Like I posted asking if some behavior could be a wonder week and your response was "LOLZ" inferring my post topic was ridiculous. I am not butthurt over it but in your call out to psychdoc you seemed to be unaware that you could come off as judgemental so my point was is that you do sometimes.

hahaha!!  i lolz at everything though.  and as for wonder weeks, i am finally agreeing they are true ok!  as much as i hate to admit it.  you win!

oh no, i see how i come off as  judgmental, because i AM (at least when someone says something 100% douchey).  i just give zero fucks.

I'm just happy someone else's baby was born late like mine (Nov 3). I always feel like an a-hole asking about something that everyone else went through weeks ago. And I don't have the patience mobile bumping to scroll back weeks. Ask away CV! I thought about going to the Nov board, but this is my home!

Probably so.

My take is that cv is an ass hole and always has been one. She is egocentric and sure she is right about EVERY FUCKING THING.

Do I care? No. Do her posts surprise me? No. Do I think she gives a damn about the feelings of others on this board? No. Her egocentrism prevents it.

It wasn't a lack of posts, it was more the habit of starting a new thread for every little question. I guess I'm the only one that it struck negatively. I rescind my criticism.

@psychdoc#s I meant I was judging CV for those whole call out post, not you for your comments. You just said what was up.

slh6363

Just for the record, I didn't take what CV said as offensive at all. She didnt say you shouldn't worry, however just that 98 percentile doesn't equal "better" than a low percentile. I completely agree and can speak to this having a preemie of course his percentile is lower but that doesn't mean anything, he is still following the growth curve which is what is important.
