Who needs to get over themselves?

Can I have a cliffs-note version of the weekend? I was away enjoying mullets and gospel music instead of nesting.

    I could be wrong, but you need only scroll down page one to the daily AP board bashing post to get the basics.

    Confused - Is this the best they can do for an eye-rolling emoticon???

    I decided not to read the whole post. I'm really just curious who needs to get over themselves. Thank goodness I know that post isn't about me!

    Anyone who calls themself AP, apparently. From what I gather it's okay to do all of the things that are generally considered AP as long as you don't label yourself as such since labels are lame.

    It's that specific label.  And again, it's being misused.  Most that label themselves associate with NFL, NOT AP.  They are fitting NFL into the AP Principles, when, in actuality, you can be AP WITHOUT using NFL. 

    And regardless, it's the ridiculousness on both sides of the "argument" that is entertaining.  For one, I know that I get totally annoyed when the "APers" don't seem to understand why it is annoying, at the least, to have such a label when it comes to PARENTING.  Parenting is parenting.  I have  yet to meet a mom, IRL or on here, that ISN'T AP!

    But alas, I'm not sure why anyone would care if you (collective you) want a label.  I've never needed one, still don't.  (And see -- doesn't my "lack of label" and statement about it make it seem as though *I* think I am superior to you b/c you DO have a label!?)  Get that part, right?  Same thing on the flip side!

    After reading those "principals," AP is like stating the obvious.  I just don't get it since all it seems like is parenting.  So why the need for a label?

    It's not like the Democrats' platform restates the Republicans' platform and we're all just Americans.  Or Catholics = Jews and we're all religious.  So, to me, those labels are not silly or mockable. 

    And the only NFL I know about is the National Football League.  Only 4 weeks, 4 days until the NFL celebrates my birthday with the first regular season game... YESSSSSSSSSSSSS.  See how it's all about me?  I will NOT get over myself.
