OMG!! My friend is DUMB! <rant>
She has a pic posted on her fb, with her 7 month old baby already facing forward in the car. This makes me sooo mad!!! She just said her doctor said it was okay, because baby is already 26 pounds.. AHHH!! She has been irritating me so much lately.. She just broke up with her baby's dad last week, already has a new "boyfriend" and has been going out every night and leaving the babe with her mom. I just can't fathom how someone wouldn't wanna be around their baby more and focus on being a mom, instead of having a boyfriend! I don't know why this bothers me so much, it just does!
I'm sad for the baby, I just wanna hold her and love her =(
Oh and she texted my boyfriend and asked him if she could borrow $60 because her $5,000 financial aid check got blown in two weeks on going out and partying.

Re: OMG!! My friend is DUMB! &lt;rant&gt;
Kind of sounds like an episode from Teen Mom.
Lol I know! Except this lady is 25!!
I was going to ask you how old she was! Jeez! I'm surprised her mom is so accommodating.
Wait...she texted your bf asking for $???
Yeah, because she knew I would say no for sure.. But, he said no too. He laughed when he got the text and showed me it.
Sounds like her momma didn't raise her right.
I was just talking to DH about the carseat thing today too. Two friends posted pics on FB of their kids under 1 year old ff. One is a nurse, which surprised me more.. She had asked me about DS's car seat one day, I think she asked (from a fb pic I posted) if he was ff and I told her no, he would be rf until probably 4. So when she asked about car seat recommendations I commented but she said she had a car seat for ff only and was moving to that seat since he outgrew his infant seat at 10 months.
This is what I was going to say. It also really bothers me that anyone who ff before one don't realize how unsafe and ILLEGAL that is, no matter what their weight.
Exactly!! I told her it was illegal, and she said it was just "too hard" to put her in and out while RFing.. She also told me that her pedi said it was okay to turn her around early.. I'm just sitting here shaking my head lol!
Is it bad that I'm focused on a 7 month old weighing 26 lbs?? My 3 yr old is 26.5 lbs!
I call BS on the pedi. She made that up because her mom told her to turn the baby around b/c it is easier. My money is on that. B/c she knows it was stupid but easier to do than argue with the person parenting her child, she went with it and lied about the pedi to make it seem like she had authority over the raising of her child.
Boyfriends fill a void, I imagine, that a baby can't. A baby can't tell you you're pretty, funny, sexy. Even in a committed relationship, I felt/feel unhappy and insecure with my body. A girl needs to feel pretty, I suppose. A baby takes far more than gives (take the emotional out of it!). She herself is going to have a long life of regrets and feeling unfulfilled especially after she drops out of school. Let her get it out of her system before the kid is old enough to ask for her mommy. Or before her built in daycare quits.
It is so sad, and I hate to say it, but I would probably not be a very good friend to her. Rather than wallow in pity for her LO or disgust in her stupid behavior, I'd probably blow her off or tell her to give me a call when she's grown up and become a mommy. I used to surround myself with miserable, dramatic people. My hair may be purple and life may be exciting, but I don't have room in my energy/attention reserves for that kind of destructive behavior because when I'm sucked in, it's not partial- I don't do mini-investment, I obsess until I "heal" the wounded, and that wouldn't be good for my family or me.
I will, however obsess for a moment in hopes that grandma is a positive doting force in the baby's life.
My son DID grow out of his infant seat at 10 months (height not weight). We got a convertible and he's still RF but I can see that if you hadn't planned on a convertible there would be a temptation to just move to the other seat you had rather than buying another. I don't agree with it but I can see the temptation.
