Silence of the SPAMS...

@numbersgirl08 - I would be getting super pissed at that situation.  It sounds like they're putting other children's wellbeing ahead of your LO's.  I sadly have no insight about toddler napping at daycare, but I'd continue to be pushy since they're going back on promises they made to you.

numbersgirl08

@cynthia2007 They can bring in things from home, but she doesn't even really sleep with anything at home.  She's never had a blanket or lovie or anything, because she's never really needed it.  Maybe I'll try to introduce something here and then send it to daycare.

@sctiger - there's definitely been some interesting drama where they all migrated ... so it's definitely something you can still follow if you like.

I don't think Parenting is leaving.  Some of the folks who GBCB'd earlier from Parenting are over there and causing a lot of drama what with the weird exodus going on.  I think there are enough folks who like TB well enough to stick around.

I really should follow this drama less.

I know this is a terrible idea, but we live so close to daycare and I work from home, that part of me wants to go grab her right before nap time, bring her home to nap 1.5-2 hrs, then take her back to daycare.  It's completely unreasonable but has definitely crossed my mind....

I got up to make Jameson his lunch and he was quietly playing with his toys. 5 mins later his lunch was complete so I came around the corner to give it to him and found this....

I need to make Amelia's 18 month appointment and I'm thinking about switching doctors. At our last two appointments our doctor made it clear that she doesn't condone BM past 15 months. She said they don't need it, they don't need the sucking, she will never wean, etc. Now I'm ready to done and we're cutting back but I don't think there's anything wrong with still BF at 16 months. I've been happy otherwise. Would you switch because of this? Tell me if I'm overreacting.

I would switch and don't think you are overreacting at all!

I'd switch.

It really sucks that all this crap with Ebola is happening as we head I to the Flu season. So many freaking people are over reacting. I can't even tell you how many people I have blocked from my FB feed because they are all so concerned and constantly posting crap about it.

@sctiger‌
I'd switch immediately.

I am so tired today. 4:30 needs to hurry up and get here so I can go home.

3 guys came in this morning at 9 and we're buying beer. I went to high school with one of them. One of his friends who was clearly still or already drunk was trying to talk to me and I just kind of walked away lol they walk away and go look at red box. A few minutes later this kid comes back over to me and asks for my number! Haha I told him I was engaged. Dude, you're drunk at 9 am and missing teeth. Good luck getting anyone's phone number haha

ColieAnn31

@majwv8‌ lol I prefer my men with teeth :P and people are still going crazy. We were out of newspapers by the time I came into work at 8 this morning!

Welp I made my apt with my ob, two weeks ago. Only to anxiously get off of work, rush to get lo and find out the receptionist made my apt with the downtown office. This is annoying because i was listing doctors and she kept saying that doc isnt in. My records surley doesn't show that location. Seriously. Now i wait until oct 27

Cricket81

Ummmm, huh.
I burst out laughing when this came up in my fb.

ColieAnn31

This happened in the time it took me to go to my room and take my shoes off lol

It literally blows my mind that some LOs just sit down and fall asleep. Isla would stay up 24/7 until we put her to bed or she died from exhaustion.

This RARELY happens for us. Like twice. Lol

Cricket81

I agree @kari5186‌! LO has never fallen asleep anywhere other than his at seat or someone's lap. We are working on this fact, but so far he is super stubborn about it.

summer2times

@winesconstantly‌ ha my lo will eat bananad and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches all day. Just give lots of water. Hope your lo get those molars soon.

Mine does a pretty good job of not fighting sleep at night, but naps are a different story. She's great at daycare, but on the weekends she parties until she crashes, and it usually involves me convincing her to put her head down for just a minute, and her fighting me. Of course within a minute of doing so she's out cold, but it's never an easy sell.

cynthia2007

@numbersgirl08, A didn't really attach to anything before but once I sent her to daycare with her own blanket for nap time in the toddler room, she now goes to sleep in her crib at home cuddling with her monkey and her A&A blanket. 

And I think someone mentioned earlier about the teachers rubbing their backs until they fall asleep..will they do that? They do at A's daycare and most of the babies have to have the teachers lay them down, sit by them and rub their back until they all fall asleep. 

numbersgirl08

The catfish drama is interesting to read.  I've pretty much always assumed there is SOMEone here who isn't 100% real.  And assume there are lots and lots of lurkers that might or might not be sketchy old men.  And I also assume that anyone I know in real life could find me on here if they wanted.

So please, everyone, please keep those thoughts in mind whenever you are posting.  I don't want any of yall to get all upset about what you might have shared with a fake person, when there are probably plenty of strangers reading what you write!

And I have no idea who might have been fake here.  But I'm sure there was/is.  Just don't know who.

There are people that annoy me but none who I think are catfishing. We are all far too friendly for that to be entertaining for a catfisher

riansmommie

@WorkinIt‌ you are teasing this pregnant lady who resisted the urge to buy Oreos today. Will you at least enjoy one for me

riansmommie

So a newb showed up over on D14 and her SN is babybytim and my mind immediately went to thinking that JessnTim is back..... I've got my eye on this one lol

Catfish on the July 14 board. I wonder if we ever had any posers here. 

There is someone here that I side eye. I don't think she is totally fake, but I think there is a lot of elaboration going on.

Now I'm curious...

Confession :I don't know what catfishing is.

It's basically where you fake an online identity, you don't steal someone else's per say, but you piece together lies to create an online presence. Like SIMS. Usually it's to develop relationships

Posts like these make me paranoid...

Right? I would hate it if someone thought I was fake or elaborating stories.

You guys are sketching me out with these kryptic comments! I can't keep up with anything on here this week already, and now I'm all curious and can't quit reading!

I seriously don't think I have ever watched an episode of Parenthood without shedding at least one tear. They are way too good at making me cry...

@babygsmommy‌ - are you guys on apple devices? We set up a shared photostream with both grandmas, my dad, and M's aunts and uncles. Basically all the family who wanted ALL the pics of her and who had an iPhone, iPad or Mac. I post every single picture/video I take (the grandmas can't get enough) but this way it's not so out there and I'm not overloading friends and acquaintances with 100 pics a week of my child, lol.

Good morning! Can I make a huge batch of smoothie and keep it refrigerated for two days? No blender at the cottage and I've never been a smoothie person.

Yes, but freezer would be better. It also depends on what you are putting in it

Of course its Friday and I'm officially sick (
A woke up coughing today too. And we have our largest tradeshow of the year starting Monday....wish I could just curl into bed and sleep all day.
