My mom got me $50 gift card to there a few weeks ago as a surprise thank-you gift!  She knew if she gave me anything else then I wouldn't spend it on myself.  Otherwise I try to avoid Starbucks now to save some cash. It's sooo good.

I went to go lurk on S12 but ended up on S13 instead, I read one of their "can't we all just get along?" posts and someone in there asked what the c-word is.  I was tempted to reply and tell her, but do people really not know this?

Ziegeficker

I know, right?

Well, I think we all like each other too much and are too nice to make a true sh!tstorm out of what is supposed to controversial threads like FFFC and UO.

Sister is staying for the week starting tomorrow... trying to get things ready.

I don't use the C word but I know what it is. Silly people.

I think me and the girl are fixing to go snuggle up and take a nap. Naps are almost as good as coffee!

Mrs.RockyM

I just logged on and was thinking the same thing!

Kind of related, but my mom was telling me that one of her employees uses the 'n word' and she actually SAID it and I was shocked.  Then she made fun of me for being so surprised, and said it was fine because she was quoting, but really, I don't even feel comfortable quoting it.  So there's my pearl-clutching for the day - my mom mocked me because I couldn't handle her inappropriate language.

I quoted it once when I was younger- I worked at a psych hospital where a patient call someone else a "white n-word" and I retold the story to someone.  I feel icky about it to this day.

I'm here. Been extremely busy playing candy crush. I ran out if lives, so here I am lol. Ugh why did I start. Anyway, I feel like this board goes through waves of being busy and slow.

I'm pondering quitting breastfeeding. I just can't take the pumping anymore.

Can someone post links to insane threads?

Could you stop pumping and nurse at night/weekends if you wanted?

I did it when dd1 was one ish, but I was only pumping two days a week, not 5 so I'm not sure... Pumping is such a pita.

I was running late to work today so I figured if I was going to be late I might as well make it worthwhile and I stopped at Starbucks. It was definitely worth the dirty look I got from the secretary when I walked in.

I did this yesterday. What is a few more minutes if I am going to be late already.

lady dixneuf

I am not going to keep quoting BUT

I committed myself to go until he's 9 months old (so like 6 more weeks) and then I will reassess. But I am certainly not pumping after a year. Hell no.

I cut a session because I couldn't handle spending my lunch break alone anymore. I am having to use freezer stash to make up for that one session, but so far I haven't had any problems with the other nursing sessions. I cut the session about a week ago.

I EP and recently cut out a pump session and my overall supply has tanked, more than I tought it would. It's only been a week and I am trying to decide if I should/want to add it back in. Blarg... I really don't want to but I am using up more freezer stash than I thought I would.

I am so with you.  I've already started the weaning process.  I am going about it pretty slowly, so I think it will be a while yet before I quit altogether, but still.  

I got into a Facebook argument (the best kind!) with a stranger because she posted some sanctimonious bullsh!t on her "Progressive Parenting" page about how OMG IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR BABY TO HAVE A FLAT HEAD, YOU SHOULDN'T PUT THEM IN STROLLERS, BUCKETS, AND CAGES and went on to say that bouncers, strollers, carseats, and cribs were harmful to babies and are akin to hitting them.  I experienced the biggest eyeroll of my life and then proceeded to tell her she was being asinine.  Anyway, I am reminded of this just now because, toward the end of her argument (after I said she wasn't doing a very good job of fostering an environment of acceptance between mothers of varying backgrounds and philosophies), she told me mothers who commit the aforementioned crimes against babies, find babies to be a "nuisance," and/or give up breastfeeding because it annoys them, "won't find support" there.

I unliked the FB page and then pondered why I bother arguing with people on the Internet.

So THAT is where the excitement is. 

Apparently.  I didn't realize when I "liked" the page that it was an Attachment Parenting page.  And I'm not against AP in any way, but that's not really what I do.  I tried to babywear, actually, but Henry hated it.  Anyway, I can't stand condescending Sanctimommies  So after a few posts, I just couldn't keep quiet anymore.  She said that it wasn't her fault if people felt shamed by her words and that allowing people to shame you requires your consent.  So passive-aggressive.  It's like people who call formula "poison" -- Get over yourself.

twatwaffle tuesday right there.

Ha, yes!  I posted this in the wrong thread, me thinks.  LD's post just reminded me of it.  The woman who runs the Progressive Parenting page would think we were all TERRIBLE PEOPLE.

LauraT25:

I wanted to try my hand at babywearing with a wrap, so a friend recommended a BWing FB group.  I left after three days because of all the mommy shaming.  Practically every post was about judging people for the 'wrong' kind of carriers, which would inevitably lead to comments about the evils of FFing.  Biitches. 

I hate that.  I hate that some people can't be proud of their parenting choices that have worked for them without inevitably drawing the conclusion that other choices are wrong and harmful to children.  Motherhood is tough, and we need more transparency, honesty, and support among us.  I can't stand the divisive language and sanctimony that seems to be par for the course these days.

F#^& my *&#$&^$@  %^&#  *@#$*&% JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Brea I almost didn't recognize you with that shiny new name.

 

Piffle your grandpa's song cracks me up!  Sounds like something my Nanny would've sung.  She was from Queens and had an interesting alternative name for Brazil nuts.
