Hugs @Dexter&11‌ that's awful. I second the counselling suggestion?

Sigh. LOs lip is still sore for her. I did the stretches this morning and then she refused to nurse and won't take a bottle.

@cara5565 The situation with 2 hospitals sounds like our town. We have 2 hospitals, and back when I was pregnant the first time, basically all OB's had 'rights' to deliver at either hospital, so we could choose which hospital we wanted to deliver at. When I was pregnant with DD, this all changed to where certain doctors are 'signed' with certain hospitals. Luckily, my OB at the time chose the hospital that I like, but when I switched OB's, I was limited in who I could go to because I wanted to stay with the same hospital. It's all ridiculous politics, and ends up costing us more!

@Dexter&11‌ hugs mama. That is an absolutely unacceptable way to speak to a partner. I think counseling is a good suggestion. Hope you and your H can find some resolution soon.

@Dex I'm so sorry. What he said is absolutely not ok. I agree that counseling would be a good idea to help you guys figure out where you want to go from here.

@rachaelmary Sorry, I'm usually mobile so I just saw your tag from yesterday. DD is good. She hasn't seemed to be in any pain from the revision and doesn't usually complain when we do the stretches. I try to leave those up to MH though. I'm sorry to hear your LO is in pain. Hopefully she heals quickly.

rachaelmary

@TyrannosaurusLex‌ stretches are for 3 weeks! So long! I've been giving her lots of Tylenol/Motrin...I feel bad pumping her full but it always puts her in a better mood once they kick in.

@iwubrory‌ so lucky your lo doesn't seem to be bothered by it! That's great!

Noethola

((Hugs)) @Dexter&11 and @katybriggs. 

rachaelmary

Yay @elf828‌ !! I'm sure you did amazing!!

shellbell3845

Glad to hear an update @elf828‌! I can't wait for tomorrow... And I have no grass that can be mowed while we wait. Maybe I'll shovel my way to good news?

spicysurro

@Dexter&11 Im here if you need help, I went through the transition of single parenthood. You don't deserve those terrible things he said. 

@paulheath all the good baby vibes

@katybriggs sending you lots of hugs. My sisters husband is in the oil industry and its definitely taking a hard hit. I hope things start looking up for you.

I wish Animal Planet would show actual animal shows like Animal Cops, now that I'm in Vet Tech school I don't want to see the stupid bullshit shows they play. 

Im also making an amazing lasagna from The Pioneer Woman. Its so delicious!

Hi guise. When I invite you all to lo's HS grad party, expect baby food, mmk? Because the things he's eaten before he won't eat now. Or some things he'll only eat at restaurants. Apparently my French fries aren't good enough. I think I broke my baby.

@shellbell3845‌ it feels like Ms food preferences change daily. One day she will devour a certain food. Two days later she drops it all off the side of her high chair. A week after that it's her favourite again. Sometimes she will eat a bite, drop a bunch on the floor then eat some more.

So frustrating.

I'm beyond frustrated. Part of it is that I'm not feeling well and I'm tired. But I just have little patience right now.

Maybe I should focus on lunch when he's not so tired? He woke up from his last nap at 1:50, so I know he's tired. But he also sees something on the spoon and rejects it without trying. I don't even know how to combat that.

If it makes you feel any better...I just put a bunch of peas/carrots/green beans/corn on W's tray. She ate all the corn and carrots, but plucked anything green and tossed it overboard. We are anti-vegetable in this household. Apparently.

Codypup

@katybriggs, I am so sorry for the bad luck streak you guys seem to be having. My first thought when I read that was "SERIOUSLY, world?!" It's just not fair..

shellbell3845

Oh good. A new sticky.

Codypup

Also @shellbell3845‌, W will not eat when she's tired. Like won't even attempt a bite.

courtls22

@katybriggs I'm sorry your dad lost his job. Your family needs to catch a break! 

@Dexter What he said is not ok and you deserve to be treated much better. I'm sorry things haven't been going well lately.

MissDemeanor

OK, gather round ladies, story time. I thought I'd mix it up today, and tell a FIL story.

This morning we were all required to have breakfast together, and eat As A Family.  After family breakfast everyone wanted to go snorkelling, about a 20 minute drive. But, unfortunately, FIL couldn't poop. And since you can only snorkel As A Family everyone was required to wait, and spent half the morning on the local beach, waiting to all take their separate ATV's to the snorkel beach. Yes, FIL had his own ATV and could have come later, if he did in fact poop, but nope, everyone had to wait As A Family.

And now I'm waiting to find out if we're having dinner As A Family or if I can cook dinner for ourselves 

MissDemeanor

Hugs to Dex. Believe me, I know how scary of a situation you're in. The idea of being on my own freaks me out. But you are a wonderful mother and a strong person. If this is what you decide is best for you and Em I know you can do it. PM me any time for support/commiseration

shellbell3845

Parenting is practically gone? Who will lurk?

RondackHiker

They're banning a shit load of parenting posters.

If I'm banned, I love you ladies even if I haven't been around lately!

Just went over to the board formerly known as Parenting to read more. I'm sad for them. I never really got into posting there but learned a lot from lurking. I'm not sure what kind of community TB is hoping to foster by banning people of that community?

Sunshine and rainbows?

Which isn't really what being a parent is about. (Unless I'm doing it wrong?)

@elf828 I'm sad for them too. I would be sad if something happened to my little family here. I would be lost without you girls.

Agree.

Parenting will be fine.

Bump may can fuck off, though.

That is a shame. Half the posters are banned. It just seems that it hurts the site more than anything else.

Strictly in terms of business, I think it was a ridiculous move. That board gets a ton of regular traffic. Way more than the traffic from the P&R newbs who show up to ask about mucus plugs once and never log in again.

But we're MEAN to the P&R newbs who just want to show their plug!

RondackHiker

I am shocked I'm still here. I'm trying to PM people to connect off board, but if you'd like to connect with me via Instagram, Velosarahraptor.

I'm just going to keep reporting bumpmay.

BlueDot818 said:

I basically only frequent our BMB... what happened on parenting that got everyone banned? Can we talk about that... or will it get us banned for mentioning?

Seems their mods got banned and then mayhem. Because of new TOU? A lot of the regs got banned. 

shellbell3845

Is it against the TOU to tell you all that my nipple is bleeding? Argh teeth arrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh

shellbell3845

elf828 said:

OMG was not ready for the mucus plug blobfish to make an appearance @BlueDot818‌!!! @shellbell3845‌ I'm so sorry about your nip. Can you get your hands on some APNO? It was a lifesaver for me.

It's actually right near my nipple. Where his top teeth are hit. I'll keep APNO in mind -- do I get it from my OB?

What are you doing to report her?

I've been reporting all her posts as spam or abuse.

Codypup

Jesus. I can fill in the blanks as to what happened, but it all seems so...Mother Russia. This is an internet message board. Freedom of speech and whatnot. I get that forums have guidelines, but come on now.

Is this going to get me banned?

Possibly. We can watch out for each other. I'll text you if you get banned.

JFC why does it take people so long to exit airplanes :-w

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. It takes SO LONG. I think it's mostly unnecessary. And there's always someone in Row 2 who put their suitcase overhead in Row 23 and is trying to swim upstream. Ugh. 

Noethola

I have never been so close to wanting us all to jump ship to a FB group. It is not going to be fun to lose this community that has been built over years! (Do you realize we can say we have "known" each other for over a year? Crazy.) I am not on IG either. Please don't ban F14 (

Codypup

I'm irrationally annoyed by all this! 

@TLex are you still here?

 This whole thing is stupid and rather immature. What did they expect the reaction would be? Full compliance? Ok, President Snow.

Still here but too pissed off to give this app my clicks right now. I'm glad I learned about proboards last year and all the fun communities that can develop over there. Hint hint.

Chia messaged me. Dirty lurking as per usual. ;-)

If f14 finds proboards, someone let me know.
