Little Man (4 years old---holy cow)
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.

I totally judge about 99% of women who use castor oil to start labor. I judge 100% of them that use it before 40 weeks.
Just like spicy food, sex, walking, bouncing, jumping on a trampoline, pineapple, labor cookies, grandma's *secret* eggplant parm recipe, wine, standing on your head, singing the alphabet backwards while wearing a dominatrix outfit, you name it---if you're not ready, it's not going to work. Hell, PIT won't work unless your body is ready for it.
Then, at that point, who is to say that it was the OWT that worked and not just time for the baby to come?
But out of all of those OWT, why the EFF would you take castor oil? "Hmmm, I really want this baby out--let's take something that's going to make me *** my brains out for hours on end!" I'm pretty dead-set against pit unless I really need it, but I'd rather take pit than castor oil.
Oh, and what spawned this rant? Someone tried castor oil at 37 EFFIN weeks (on my birth board) and was bummed it didn't work.

lmao---I was hoping people would catch that. I needed something botb-worthy.
It's too bad I'm allergic to latex, otherwise, probie'd be here already :-P

Exactly Lambie!!
And, I REALLY hate when a 35 or 36 weeker tries OWTs!! It irritates the sh!t outta me!

lmfao. I hold out that little percentage of judgment-free people because I never know what kind of situation there might be...however, the image of you putting a diaper on a grown woman and calling her a dumbass (which, I know you'd obviously not do *to her face*) has got me seriously lol'ing.

Nevermind actually trying to labor check someone who has taken it. You can't get them out of the bathroom long enough to make sure their overstimulated ute hasn't caused any sort of fetal distress.
Can I quote your diaper story when the 3rd tri/Nov idiots start talking about how great castor oil is?
