What is SFL?

jcwinsto

I think you type SFL so that you can go back and look at your comments to easily find the thread. Kind of like commenting "following" on a Facebook post so that you get the notifications if anyone has new info on the subject.

jcwinsto

But you could easily just do a search when you need the info.

I have about a week worth of day time diapers and a weeks worth of night time diapers. This is an UO with my dh since you can wash and reuse them.

But now I just wash as soon as I get a load, and then let Jo play in the clean laundry until I get two loads worth to put away.

Oh and this is my go to UO.

I can't stand when people call their daughter Sis! No one has been able to properly explain this term of endearment to me, so until someone can, Your daughter is not your sister. Get the bloodline straight. Also, parent first, then friends. By calling them Sis it sounds like you are trying to be too buddy buddy with them.

I use "following" sometimes on FB. We have a FB page since we don't have a Craigslist page. The FB page is used for all listings and also some public information type posts for the community. If something is going on/developing on a public information post I will post "following" because it might take me 10 minutes to find it down in the list. Every time someone comments on any post in that group that post gets moved to the top so stuff is easily and quickly lost. But I agree that it is stupid to do it most of the time. Anything else is usually easy to find back.

I don't care whose grandmother you are, don't talk to my 2 year old like he's a baby. I barely tolerated it when he was a baby. Now hearing your voice go up to octaves while your enunciation goes down the toilet just grates my nerves.

Oh! And if I tell him that he's not allowed to play with something (like your sunglasses), then for Pete's sake, don't let him have them! It's not going to kill him to not have access to your personal belongings. It won't kill you to listen to him fuss for a minute until he gets distracted by playing with real toys. And if you do let him have them and he destroys them by driving them lens-down across a brick window sill, don't pout about it. I completely TOLD YOU SO!

@blondolphin My dad always called me Sis/Sissy growing up. He still does it from time to time. I don't know where it came from since I'm older than my brother. It's certainly not my favorite NN in the world.

It legitimately makes me lol when someone is (usually kindly) told that the bump doesn't seem to be quite the right site for them, and they get angry and defiant and yell at their keyboard about how they can post wherever they want to, don't you tell me what to do! Then they continue going into other threads and bitching about what awful, terrible people post on the bump, but still don't just leave.

What?! Are you saying I can't take the hint?! FINE! I'LL JUST GO!

Watch your damn kid! Apparently this was an unpopular opinion as someone 2 yo was running around the restuarant.

DS was sitting in be high chain playing happily with his ball. Then this kid came and stole it. I take it back and give it to ds. And kind of tell him to go back to his parents. Then he comes back again takes it throws it on be floor and kicks it!! Ahh. Well now I have to find another toy for ds since this one is super icky.

Then he comes back again and I'm talking and he's on the other side of the high chair from me and SLAPS ds in the face!! WTF!! I got up and made a effing scene. Get your damn kid and watch your damn kid so it won't hit others. DS was crying and terrified and hurt. And mama was pissed.

Luckily he didn't make another appearance after that.

@yellowlilly2013

did you talk to/yell at the parents of the kid running around. I would have been tolerant to a certain point, but hitting my baby probably would have put me over the edge. Hell I had a hard enough time to not yell at teenagers in the dollar store running around like maniacs and embarssign them and I didn't have Jo with me. (Their parents were in the store). I really wanted to be like why do you need to make the workers here Job even harder than it is, by running around and terrorizing the store. You are not 5! Go sit outside if you can't behave.

Apparently it's a UO with my boss that I am going to "allow" my baby to get a helmet to help with the plagiocephaly. But what about the sensory issues? she says. Baby's senses are developing so fast right now and he won't be able to learn correctly with that helmet on his head. Basically she said he will not learn anything/develop while wearing the helmet. Cuz I like totally asked for her opinion.

YellowLily2013

@blondolphn‌ YES, I yelled for the parents to get their kid. I didn't yell at the kid. It wasn't really his fault his still learning. It's the parents fault for not respecting other patrons and watching their kid and making sure he's behaving.

Does she think the helmet is attached to full body armor to prevent movment and can only be worn in a quiet, dark room?!

I've decided to coin a new term just for her. The new term is "Contradictory Crunchy". She loves a lot of crunchy things like healthy eating and more unusual foods. She thinks kids should be barefoot while learning to walk (again, the sensory thing), no TV, SAHM if you have young children, etc. However, she thinks I will fail at cloth diapering (because I am a working mom with no extra time) and said I should just use disposibles because they are easier and that I'll end up using puree's for the same reasons. FWIW she is older with grown children of her own.

TJ1979

@jcwinsto You are so lucky to have someone able to tell the future and how you will raise your kids for you!  That takes out so much of the difficult guess work of parenting.
Your term for her might be "Contradictory Crunchy" but mine is closer to "Obnoxious Busybody."

jcwinsto

She is rather opinionated but she manages to make it come off in a really sweet grandmother like way. However, I can see right through it.

Ugh. DS is trying to refuse nap time today. (Like, he has played in the crib for an hour already, plus refused to sleep when I layed down with him for 20 minutes. Putting his fingers in my mouth and talking all.the.words was a lot more fun than sleep.) My stroller workout group met this morning, so I'm exhausted. I need to clean out the freezer and put the giant cooler in the trunk of my car so I can pick up 200+ pounds of beef from the farm this afternoon. I just want a break!!! Wahhhhh!

@jcwinsto - Have you seen the article about the artist who paints plagio helmets? Some of them are a NMS, but I love the little aviator helmet!
