Attachment Parenting
I've got a few AP questions/ GTKY
Do you whip your children? If so, is there an age that you start?
Do you yell at them? Like snapping at them for getting into something? How do you handle the children who won't listen?
How does your BF/DF/DH/SO feel about it? What about family? What do you do about nay-sayers?
What IS attachment parenting exactly?
From just lurking, I'm loving this style of parenting so far.. could y'all tell me more about it from your experience?

Re: I've got a few AP questions/ GTKY
What do you love, exactly? The idea of beating and yelling at your child?
Since you are still a child yourself, is that how you have been raised?

Your LO is a cutey!
BTW, what is that fabric? Is it a blanket? If so, did you make it or buy it? I ask because I LOVE that print and I've sewn something with that fabric. I've been dying to make something else with it, but I don't know what.
what the fvck are you even talking about?
whip? whip?!
you're a troll, right?
I was excited to see a GTKY since I love all the ladies on this board, but a troll--UGH!
Anyone want to do a real GTKY?
Mac and cheese lover!
I have to disagree, if they disobey we dont lock them out, we lock them in a closet. Much more effective for us.
NO NO NO!!! I cannot STAND people who whip their children! I meant I enjoy this style of parenting because you don't seem like the type to yell at or spank your children!
Godd*mn, nobody on this site can take anything the right way or do it without being b*tchy, can they?
If everyone else is the problem...maybe the real problem is you.
If you really want more info on the style of parenting, a good intro book is Dr. Sears The Baby Book. I suggest looking into that book first. It is informative on daily care of baby, as well as attatchment parenting style approaches to problem solving (ie: fussy babies and how to calm them). Start there, and then if you decide it's something you'd like to really try, there are more books on the subjhect that are more in depth. Good luck.
p.s. It sounds like you're from the south? Well that's where switches are picked and whippin' is just what happens (I'm originally from Alabama- my Grandpa had a switch that hung by the door that he would point to if we acted up). Not fun.
it's hard to tell intention on the internet.
If you are serious, which is seems you are, then I agree with PP - check out the dr. sears books and website. Lots of good info on there.
RE: naysayers. It's hard, but you have to do what YOU feel is right. Everyone has their own idea what parenting should look like. Tell them what worked for them doesn't work for you.
Hope this helps.
this is a site full of pregnant women, what did you expect?
also, perhaps you should have been more clear from the beginning.

This!!!!
MLU, have you told your parents that you are pregnant? Are they pissed?
Quit that, d*mmit. It's not your place to look down on me because I'm annoying.
You are hardly in a position to biitch about the stuff you post (like lemonparty; really? what is this, 2003?) How's the chunky CM going anyway?
Yep. And if you're Black and from the south (or have family elders who are from the south) they were "whoopins."
