    @AmberLiz99 My mom and I are very close. It was just my mom and I for the first 6 years of my life until her and my dad got married then a year later had my brother then my sister. We have this weirdly close, best-friend type relationship although when I was growing up it was "I'm not your friend, I'm your mom" but now that I turned out awesome we're allowed to be friends I guess lol

    My FFFC: I decided I can't be bothered throwing a birthday party for my 2-year-old this year. She's too young to know what a birthday is and I don't have the money or enthusiasm to plan a decent party right now. Sorry kid.
    H and I have talked about it and we plan on throwing a 1st birthday only.  We'll do something special for kid(s) on their birthday, but probably just us and maybe grandparents (if any are close enough to visit for a day).  I see no need to go all out for each kid's birthday each year.  Sounds like too much stress, work, and money.

    That seems fair. We threw a HUGE 1st birthday party. Even though it was really only family, our families are huge and there were over 50 people there. It was really fun and I'm proud of how it turned out but I spent a fortune on decorations and food! And I had to have it at my sister's house because there was no way those people were all fitting in my apartment. This year I was going to just invite a few of her toddler friends to my place but even that is proving more than I can handle right now. Just going to take her to a park with DH and buy some fancy cupcakes to give her a treat. She'll probably enjoy that more than an overwhelming throng of toddlers all up in her space anyway.

    We don't really plan on doing anything big for this guy until he's about 5. We'll probably do small parties with family and such (pizza and cake) but I think going all out will wait until he has a chance of remembering it. I remember chunks of my 5th birthday party which is where I'm gauging the age of going all out. Even then, I'd prefer to take him to Disneyland or the beach or something in lieu of a party but we'll have to see how his personality is. I personally hate birthday parties and would rather just do something fun on my birthday.

    All that to say, no flames from me.

    We are doing a party this year for DS1. He'll be 4. Probably 4-5 friends, pizza and a movie lol. Nothing fancy. I don't see the point

    @HBamama2B that is the best. I would totally go to your pup's birthday party. I'd throw mine one but he'd just lay in the corner and ignore everyone. H and I always buy him puppy ice cream and make him a pancake and bacon on his birthday, though.

    @hbamama2B : What @ahernandez16 said! I would go to a doggy birthday party! We've slacked on our puppy as far as birthdays go, but now I want to throw her a party. We are entirely too obsessed with her. I think she would really enjoy it though. We would just wrap some empty boxes and fill them with tissue paper or something and she would shred to her heart's content.

    My confession is I have gone over the top for my daughter's first two birthdays. I designed custom graphics for each one, decorated the whole house, invited lots of people, lots of food, lots of alcohol. We had a bounce house last year. Honestly, tiny kid parties are the best because the kid doesn't care yet so they can really just be adult parties with cute themes. We used to entertain more before we were old lame baby-havers, so now we use our daughter's birthday as an excuse to have a big party once a year. It's just that now it's an afternoon party with cupcakes in addition to cocktails.

    That does sound fun. If I had a house I might do something like that. Or if my daughter's birthday was in a reliably warm month (her birthday is April 15th but it snowed the day she was born because the weather here is stupid) and we could just have a get-together at a park or something. My plan this year was to do a brunch party since most of the toddlers nap in the afternoon. I'm sort of bummed to not get to do it but I am just so not ready this month!

    My FFFC: I'm super glad my due date is June 30th and not a day later. Sometimes I creep on the July BMB because I'm so close to July. The snark and general meanness on that board is on a whole other level! So lucky I'm in June! 


    July is pretty intense, but I think it's hilarious. I love lurking their BMB.
    Oh it's entertaining to read, I'm just glad I don't have to contribute there. I'd be scared shitless to say a word.

    I didn't think I had a FFFC- until I realized I had both a donut and ice cream today. Oops! :wink:

    I seem to always miss the snarky July posts. I lurk from time to time and I swear I never see the snark!

    I do too. I look at all the months around us and the tri boards and always seem to miss the snark.

    I just got home from work, my H made grilled chicken, green beans and rice for dinner, I really just want Taco Bell! I would be willing to drive the half hour + to go get it right now!
    Also, I didn't do it, but I was really tempted to steal someone's soda from the fridge at work today! I NEVER  would, but I wanted it so bad!

    @WinniethePoohsPants  I think that is one of the best FFFC that I have read.  I would have thought meds students had see enough not to be traumatized by anything, but I guess not.

    @TNvols27 you do realize a bunch of July lurks and posts in June due to early due dates right? But please go on about how "mean" we are... Because it is so mean to have board organization or to tell a mom how rediculous it is to refuse to take the GD test because she doesn't want to "waste" her time...
    That GD test UO was not the general meanness I was referring to, it was the other 50 threads I've read over there that turn nasty really quickly. Aaaaand this proves my point why I'm glad to be in the June BMB. Thanks.

    You aren't actually trying to say my post here was mean are you? When I was legitimately letting you know that if you want to insult a group of women you should at least be aware that they see it. It is unfortunate that you seem to have missed the 50 plus threads offering support and welcoming newcomers and offering advice. 

    All you needed to say was that you preferred the "tone" of June's board as more to your liking without insulting us. I encourage you to read more on our board before making such a harsh generalization. Also when you lurk you hardly get context in what may have preceded things as well. Such as certain posters stirring the pot and finally getting called out on things. 

    I am genuinely happy you have a great support here but please keep the insults and generalizations to yourself. 
    I didn't mean to insult your whole group. I've done a lot of lurking over there and read almost everyone of the threads, so I don't miss out on any context. And yes I will agree that the tone over here is much more preferable than over there. I also never said there wasn't any support given in July, because there is. What I was saying was there are a handful of posters over there that I see that aren't friendly most of the time especially to newcomers. My confession was that *I* would not feel comfortable posting in July because of some of the comments and reactions I've seen. We have the same things happen here that happen in July (randoms, drive-bys, pot stirrers, etc) but I feel like our reactions to those things are done in a more productive way. That's all I was saying. I wasn't trying to insult everyone in July, because there are some really supportive ladies over there. Sorry if I offended you, that wasn't my intention.

    @sdLindenberg it isn't really pot stirring to come and defend my Bmb after being called mean and nasty...
