Perhaps I could have re- worded the post a little differently to better convey what I was trying to say and why I was saying it. However, this is NOT an apology. I acknowledge that my passion may have come off as preachy, but I also acknowledge that you all came off as bitchy. You all should really calm down on wasting so much precious energy on getting all riled up on a chosen person of the day because she said something that didn?t quite sit well with you.
I have explained in the most calm and rational ways humanly possible why I posted that thread, and I?ve thoroughly explained that I was in no way insinuating that anyone here is neglecting her child because he or she sometimes lets the LO cry for more than 15 seconds. All I was doing was passing on interesting/ helpful information that I have been given by Betty Ablon, the members of Launch Ability, and other wonderful early childhood PROFESSIONALS.
So you all can keep posting on my thread and calling me out like you all are high school teens all you want. All it is doing is making you all look like a bunch of heated wild animals teaming up on one lone animal so that you all can feel like you?re an important part of the pack. Siding with the majority just because it?s fun and makes you feel tingly inside does NOT make you smart and/ or special, nor does it make me as ignorant as you all are trying to make me out to be. In fact, the reality that not one of you can step forward and admit that this is all silly, and that you all are taking it to a whole other unnecessary level of name- calling and getting personal proves to me that you all* are a lot more ignorant and immature than I ever imagined.
And to think I once referred to many of you as ?ladies.? That was definitely my mistake.
Note: *you all refers to all you snarky girls that lost your head over my last thread.

I did stop, but obviously there were a few little girls that still wanted to play. I'm feeling nice today, so I decided to play just a little bit longer.
You're welcome. :: blows kisses ::
It's true. I sometimes don't catch my typos/ mispells before I post. I'd bet you'd be surprised to know that my sh!t also stinks.
I will admit that I am genuinely sad to see you join the PACK OSC. I always thought you were so sweet and sensible. Super sad face.
It's true. I called some girls who were acting like bitches "bitches." I did not, however, insult anybody's level of education, profession, degree, etc in an attempt to grab at an insult. That's the kind of stuff high school girls do when they really have no credible insults to throw at the person they're trying to insult.
you know you spent a good hour writing that in a Word Document before you c/p it over here. your whole point is trying to prove that you're smarter than all of us, so I'd think you'd double check for errors before posting, yes. and trying to imply OSC or any other person is a lemming is your pathetic way of looking for an out.
FTR, she didnt just join. She was one of the founders.

Wow. You really aren't very smart. You were giving people crap about "name-calling" when, in just that post alone, you did it 3 times yourself!
FYI, when you GBCB, you're supposed to actually go away.

Wrong AGAIN. I absolutely do not care if I am smarter than a bunch of people I do not know. Yes, I care if I am smart, and yes I know I am smart, but I most certainly do not need to make a post on a message board just to feel smarter than anyone. Yes, I check for errors before I post, no I do not always catch all my errors, nor do I always go back and correct all my errors. You can believe I'm as ignorant as you want to believe I am, but that doesn't make it so.

Val, I take back what I said about you kissing the mirror after you sh!t...
What I meant to say was that you kiss a handheld mirror while you sh!t...
For someone who doesn't have the internet at home, you sure spend A LOT of time away from your babies to troll TB and rant about your most fabulous informative lectures at some po-dunk community college in Texas. Go home, your babies are crying.

Be careful with thos iPod mistakes OSC. Don't you know mistakes mean you're ignorant and uneducated? I wouldn't care if you seemed like you had a good reason for joining the pack, but you didn't. You supported CHW in her comment that her letting Cooper CIO "ONE" time did not make her a bad mother, then stroked her ego and started talking down to me. You didn't take the time to stop and realize how many times I had said that I was no way insinuating that any person on this board were neglecting their children, and that I personally know no one can tend to a baby within 15 seconds (or even a few minutes) of them crying every single time they cry.
So yes, you took CHW's side of attacking me when she was defending herself on something that I never so much even as hinted at. You all may be a bunch of bitches, but I think you all are wonderful mothers, but I cannot help it if certain women are insecure about their parenting and take certain things extremely personal. You chose to "take her side" when she was siding against me on something that I never said or even hinted at, so yes, it does make you look like a follower.
Then why say anything at all? You're an AW, the worst kind there is. How old are you? There has got to be a reason for this narrow-minded insanity
Actually I decided to hop on the computer when I arrived at my parents' house to pick up my babies. If you really must know, my oldest is outside having a blast with his grandpa, and until just this second the baby was asleep, so I decided to hop back on since we all seem to be having so much fun. And before you all make even more snarky comments, yes I did say that my LO just woke up this second. That does mean that he did cry out to let me know he was awake, and that does mean that I promptly stopped typing to tend to him, and am currently holding a happy smiling baby in my lap, and now I must go nurse him. Why? Because I'm an awesome mother... that's why.

Wow. I didn't even respond in the other post, but LET IT GO. For real. Nobody is going to listen to you anyway, so why do you continue to fuel the fire?
You fail at citing REPUTABLE sources.
Launch Ability is a facility that helps with special needs children/adults. Their mission: "To help children and adults with developmental disabilities achieve their maximum potential and lead fulfilling lives within our community." In no way is it accredited as a school of education. The closest thing I could find having anything to do with an educational entity is they collaborated on ONE of their programs with a 2-year community college. Let me guess, this where you go for your education? Not mention the "case studies" on their website are personal testimonies.
Try again.
Sometimes being a lurker is so much fun! It's thoroughly entertaining.
1) Community College. 'Nuff said.
2) "Loan" and "Pact" aren't spelling errors. They're wrong word errors. You probably use apostrophes to show plurality, too.
3) I love how you are sharing information that you've been "told." Sorry, don't smart people actually do the research? And how much have you researched the stuff you've been "told?" To just recite material that you have learned from biased sources is pointless. Anyone can take any information and make it biased toward one specific cause. They can also make stuff up. Ever see Thank you for Smoking ?
Eh, you also probably think that babies should sleep on their bellies and have a crib full of cuddly animals and that breastfeeding is not hygenic and that formula feeding is best... cause, you know, that's what they said in 1985.
And you said "unsensical." I'm learning why you didn't quite make it into a better higher ed. institute.
For someone who is so confident of being an "awesome mother", you sure do seem to need a lot of validation.
Personally, I don't think anyone is an "awesome mother" all the time. You do your best and you follow your heart with your kids and seek out information (from books and pediatricians... I really wouldn't be looking to a daycare worker for professional advice and I worked in a daycare too- I know the kind of education that the profession requires) but there isn't a RIGHT way and a WRONG way to do things. There is just you and your child and what works today.
Also, if my son woke up hungry and wanted to nurse and I made him wait while I typed on the computer he would NOT be smiling. It seems to me you are prioritizing YOUR need to validate yourself as this "awesome mom" instead of actually tending to your son's needs and actually being one. I wouldn't say something so judgy typically but you deserve it.
