Hey, thanks! I'm here for you on your bingo as well.

flyster

Man, didn't realize the fun going down in here! 

chicagojackie I love when you go on your Dr posts.  Always learn something.

Confession time.  I just had to look up on the interwebs what the whole Bye Felicia thing is.  I always see it and wonder!  Urban Dictionary FTW! 

For anyone else who is similarly uninformed: 

"When someone says that they're leaving and you could really give two shits less that they are. Their name then becomes "felicia", a random bitch that nobody is sad to see go. They're real name becomes irrelevant because nobody cares what it really is. Instead, they now are "felicia"." 

chicagojackie

@flyster right on, thanks

I was half asleep and needed a break from present wrapping. I'm now wide awake. Laughing my ass off. You ladies continue to rock my world!

Cute that she went from "I love this ish" to "I ditched that trash" so quickly instead of just admitting she was wrong about her beloved book. Even better that she couldn't remember what she wrote in her own post but was happy to try to tell a PP they were in fact the mistaken one! Totes adorbs. I can't wait to see what she graces us with next!

@alyse0305, I'm sure attacking someone with a legitimate concern about their baby and labor is a great way to make friends on this board. But I'm sure you know that after your devout and always helpful contributing for the past 7 months, so I digress! I clearly don't need to remind you of this since you're obviously a beloved reg so please forgive me! Maybe someday I can grow up to be just like you

@chicagojackie, you never cease to amaze me and I think I'm falling in love-love with you instead of just friend-love :x

This thread has the most amazing entertainment value ever. I apologize for laughing so hard...!

Qfp! Thought you were done here! Just keeps getting better. You're so passive aggressive, haha.

chicagojackie

@dorothygale01‌ I think they are to convey her point!!!! Like...we are all so lame! And she is so cool!!! But she has to preserve her belief that she's a part of our group and that she fits in so tries to sign off all cheeky and friendly. 1111!!!!

The more exclamation points I see, the lower my estimation of someone's IQ becomes.

I hate excess punctuation.

Haha you must hate me I sometimes reread my posts before posting and have to dial it back. Love my !!!s.

!!!!!!!!!!! I definitely think exclamation points help me to fit in! Or are they to exude how ridiculous I think the continuing of this is?! And yes I'm back- just to piss you all off!!!!!!

alyse0305

So are you the grammar police and the ultimate authority on what less than intelligent context is? Would love to hear your opinions on that!!!!!!

Um. Pretty sure @dorothygale01‌ is the grammar police. If you lurked well, you'd know when one is giving a professional opinion and when to step off.
This would be one of those times.

Why would you openly admit to trolling? It's against TOU, can get you banned and you as well as said it mockingly in the face of the board mod. All this because you didn't like @chicagojackie‌'s sound advice and didn't enjoy a few snarky comments? It might be time to unwad the panties and learn to enjoy a joke even if it is at your expense.

acpruchnik

@alyse0305 You ARE aware that you've now attacked every reg that's bothered to take time of their day to acknowledge your ever-helpful contribution to the board, right? Oh wait, I forgot again.. You're a reg as well and already know how we roll. I must have also forgotten that we can pick and choose our facts about what we've posted, despite them being publicly available, and have clearly forgotten what a troll is since you've decided that you aren't one. Guess I'll just blame it on the pregnancy brain, eh?

erobbins09

This is so dumb I can't even... I want to.. I have nothing better to do while sitting in the car driving home for a couple hours but... I can't. Go away.

alyse0305

Lol I second @erobbins09‌ on this- thank God for DH driving!!

alyse0305

Literally going to eat right now!!!!!!!! Nom nom

@acpruchnik‌ I'm in love with your West Wing gif and you. Well done m'lady.

Anything for my favorite group of ladies :x

erobbins09

Well now now now let's settle down there... I should rephrase. You ARE ACTING so dumb. the "this" I was referring to isn't in sympathy of you it's in annoyance of how you've handled this. Especially as a self proclaimed regular.

Just stop... It's not fun for anyone because at the end of the day there is the reality of you seriously considering raising a human based on baby wise.. Then add that charming personality of yours that's come forth through this... the fun quickly fades and guess what?

I FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR CHILDREN. Yep. I said it.

@erobbins09

You bingo-ed! GASP!

Just kidding!

Maple403

Seriously, OP has a last word problem. She'll be back!

alyse0305

Word!!!!

Oh FFS.

Oh FFS is exactly right!!

And it sounded so good finally coming from an ACTUAL reg

SaraL1175

The evolution of this thread actually worries me. I'm concerned that OP will use babywise (against professional and amateur advice) just to prove a point. PLEASE do not... It really is unsafe. The initial comments to this effect may make you angry, but the concern expressed really was out of concern that this method has caused very hungry babies.

I think for a lot of new moms, it's totally normal to want to read all these books, blogs, magazines about the "best methods" for.... However, every baby is not the same. Every mom is not the same. And I'm sure that probably out life styles are not the same. We can all offer advice. Some is good. Some is great!!! Some is not wanted at all, I do feel that parenting is a lot of trial & error. I'm pregnant with my second child & although I have had one, my daughter is almost 10 so I'm starting over. But I did retain some of the things I did with her & know what I don't want to repeat with Maverick.
That's not to say it's going to go any smoother, just hoping it will. Children don't come with instruction manuals. I don't think anyone should beat themselves up for a method they chose, not working out. It's not you. It's just that your baby is a tiny human being & as much as you want to force something, it may not happen.
Crying is inevitable. Sleepless nights are inevitable. All things that we will have to confront:) just remember to not be so hard on yourselves mommies!!!
Book or no book, you will get it together & develop your own method

Wowza! Belated merry Xmas, everyone! I didn't realize Santa sometimes sent trolls out along with the elves. Nice.

SjMcquay

Oh my. Lots of pregnancy hormones going on with these feisty replies

I'm reading through it a second time. My sister swore by this book and both her kids sleep so well.

From what I understand sleep/feed are related to help set a pattern to help the baby learn that they will eat as soon as they wake up. To me it makes perfect sense.

I'm going to read through more thoroughly this time. Not every book is for every person and not every part of book needs to be taken as a bible.

@SjMcquay‌ I'm not hormonal. I'm bullshit intolerant. It gives me gas.

ETA for proper tagging

I think if nothing else, this was a prime example of how one should and should not behave in a social setting.
Internet anonymity is a blessing and a curse. As a blessing, one can ask questions/get advice/suggestions without embarrassment. However, one can't dictate the responses he or she receives. The OP posted, didn't like the answers she got, and turned into a brat. That's the curse. It allows people to act in ways they probably wouldn't in their day-to-day social settings.
Also, as in social settings, a message board is about knowing one's place. The OP assumed that she was a reg. If she were, she'd know things like @chicagojackie‌ is a doctor and @dorothygale01‌ teaches English. She would've taken their opinions in areas in which each are more knowledgable than she and not challenged. There is a difference between being a reg and a regular lurker. It's all about street cred. I've been regularly lurking since our BFP in July. I post very occasionally, I don't get reg status for time spent. As a FTM, I don't usually have a lot to bring to the conversation. The difference is knowing that or assuming otherwise.
As for my participation in this thread; I'm not hormonal, I'm a snarkasaurus and I do know memes and gifs.

crispywheats

@krendel1990‌ Hahaha. I really should, even if it's just to spam. Or obnoxious gifs.

@crispywheats‌...only on television
