My FFFC is that I think it is immature of people when they name call/put down others here (and IRL) just because parenting opinions/politics etc are not the same as their own.
It shows that they are probably not so confident in their own choices if they need to attack others who have differing opinions than their own.
Oh and on a lighter note, I rarely brush my hair. I have short, straight hair and after I had DS I just resorted to pulling it back with a few bobby pins ( I do wash it every night)
I confess I might just have a handful of Rolo's for lunch. I feel like I'm failing in feeding this kid well right now but I just can't get my normal appetite back...and also I irrationally fear that my terrible picky eating this week is going to cause me to fail my glucose test on Monday.

I think it is premature to feel this way, but I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore. If I could magically have a full-term, healthy baby right now, I would do it. I'm not even having a difficult time. Other than some quick weight gain in the 2nd trimester, I've had a perfectly normal pregnancy. I just don't really like being pregnant (except for when I feel the baby moving -- I love that). I'm ready to have my body back.
(Note: I do not want to have this baby early at all. Please don't think that. A healthy baby is obviously my priority. I want to keep him or her in until at least 39 weeks, if not 40 weeks.)
I feel the same way most of the time. The sooner my 39 weeks are up (RCS) the sooner I can start to get things back to normal but with my precious little girl this time. I'm really excited to see if she looks like DH or me more!
Me three!!! But I am terrified to have 2 under 2 as well, LOL
I really resent the fact that I *can't* dye my hair right now, and look forward to getting it done as soon as LO is here.
Me too! I have another year plus to go, as I am choosing not to color it while BF. I feel so blah. I may add some lemon juice to it this summer to see if I can get myself some highlights a natural.....

You seem to be under the very wrong impression you were name called because you had a differing opinion. This is simply not true. You had a valid opinion that you expressed like jerk.

Says who? I spent 3 hours at the salon yesterday. Until someone proves to me that my kid will come out with an extra eye....my hair is getting colored.
I'm so sick of the royal wedding stuff and I hope the board talk about something else today. On that note, I really loved Kate's dress.
I'm hoping that people start naming their daughters Katherine/Kate so that our LO's name doesn't get any more popular than it is now.
I want to take a month off of work just to set up our new home and work on Baby's nursery.
There were 23 Katie/Katherine's in my freshman 300 person biology class. I completely stopped responding to my name and waited for people to say my last name. It was crazy.

I'm glad the cost of gas is up and I hope it continues to rise. I think that's the only way we'll actually utilize any of the alternative solutions that have been invented or fund more programs to come up even more solutions. Right now there's no incentive. People are fine with status quo as long as they're placated. People are not fine when their pocket books are affected.
I completely 100% disagree with you. Perhaps if you live in a major city, you could take a bus or walk to work. I live in a rural area... there are no buses, trains, or cabs. Most people commute an hour (on the expressway) to get to work because there are NO jobs locally. The nearest grocery store is 20 minutes away.
Maybe you are financially well off but for a lot of people, the rising cost of gas prices means they may not be able to afford food, diapers, or their utility bills.
I know this is supposedly FF, but I think you need a serious reality check.
I totally see both sides of it. There are so many people who burn gas because it is relatively cheap and they don't have to think about it. I know that even as conscience as I generally am, I've gotten more aware of my driving since the price has spiked. I appreciate that it makes everyone more seriously consider everything from more their lifestyle to their choice of vehicle to how much we should invest in developing alternatives.
But yeah, I also know people who drive a hundred miles (seriously!!) round trip from an economically barren area to work $9/hour factory jobs in whatever hand me down old Buick they have and can't afford to move because they live in a cheap trailer on family land and even a tiny apartment would be a huge jump for them. I know that seems like a totally extreme case but every bit of it is true of many people in my area.When gas goes up, they don't cut down on trips to Wal-mart, they cut out their own lunch so they can keep feeding their kids.
And yes, I know, FFFC but I'm not really flaming. More lamenting.

Do you really not see anyhting wrong with what you said? I think rooming in is extremely sweet. I think making other ppl feel bad for not doing it is really sh!tty.

I already apologized numerous times if I offended anyone with saying that sending your baby away after birth felt unnatural based on my experience and opinion. If you took offense I am sorry, but calling me names is possibly the worst way to get across a point/express your differing opinion.
I never intended to make people feel bad about their choice, obviously I did, and I apologize.
I really wish we could all express differing opinions regarding topics here, but it is looking like some people just can't deal with opinions/choices that make them question/feel bad/second guess their own and feel the need to respond in less than nice ways.
My curling iron has been broken for 3 weeks now. I'm trying to convince myself that it's a good break for my hair.
I'm sure most of you are wondering who the heck still uses a curling iron over a flat iron . . .
I do. I have many curling irons (still haven't found "the" curling iron, I am afraid). I have extremely straight hair, and I use it to curl my hair under on the bottom.

I, ahem, *may* have yelled at the TV a bit when I saw that.
But then I tend to shake my fist at the TV a lot whenever TV shows portray pregnancy/childbirth/infertility.

Oh and I think you may need to look up the definition of FFFC.
One would think you would know that nothing is ever flame free on the Bump, considering your history on TTGP.
What history would that be?
And I was under the impression that FFFC was a thread that was flame free? Am I wrong?
Are you not WaterBabyBlue that had such a time w/ Saucy and Brianna??
And, you've been here a month. July's FFFC was Flame Free maybe the first week, since then nothing on this board is flame free.
Hmm, yes I did disagree with them and their name calling/bullying. I lurked here for awhile and got the feeling that this board was not full of name calling/etc, but I was obviously very wrong.
I will remember next week that FFFC is in fact not flame free and I will have my BGP and my boxing gloves on
Oh and BTW, I was not the only one that had issues with those 2 users. I was just the only one who had enough courage to call them on their BS.
I deliberately guilted my husband into working on the nursery decor, by telling him I felt like I disappointed him in having a girl and he would be more involved if it were a boy.
He felt like pure sh!t when I said that. I know it.
BTW: the nursery has already been painted and the furniture is put together, it's just the finishing touches. He's done everything so far. I don't know what got into me.
In the past 24 hours he's looked at over 4000 wall decals and is moving on to accessories to coordinate.
I actually feel pretty sh!tty about this.
H wanted a FIFA Soccer Game for his x-box and I told him he couldn't buy it until the nursery was done. You know what, the nursery is done and he has is game.
I've never never never done anything like that before. I swear it brought out my inner beast. H didn't bat an eye though, he agreed that his game would distract him. Now that he has the game, he plays it about 3 times a week for about 20-30 mins at a time. He's no gamer, and really, it would have been fine for him to have it before.

oh and while we are looking up the definition of FFFC, the C stands for Confession.. saying you think people shouldn't call names is an opinion, and UO's are on tuesday. And while were at it, saying "It shows that they are probably not so confident in their own choices.." is an assumption. You're welcome for the lesson.
ETA: Regarding the comment "If people can't afford diapers, they shouldn't have kids" - it's not that simple. I personally know a LOT of people who had 3,000 sq ft homes, good jobs, new cars, etc and then they were laid off due to the recession (directly linked IMO to gas prices) and lost everything. People who typically DONATE to food banks were forced to ask for help. Parents moved in with their children because they had nowhere to go. People with Master's degrees started working at minimum wage jobs for $7 an hour.
And for the people who were making it prior to the recession but didn't have a lot of savings, the difference between $2 and $4.25 per gallon is enough that they could no longer afford diapers. I don't think that means they were irresponsible in having children.
I really want to feel sorry for those people that had 3,000 sq. foot homes, new cars, etc. But how far above their means were they living to have those things? Did they pay cash for their cars and keep a year's salary in the bank? No? Well then they were like so many other Americans, who were just setting themselves up for total loss during the recession. The typical mindset of Americans needed to be reset. Not wishing those problems on anyone, but people in this country are ridiculous about their possessions, most of which they don't actually own.

Ha! This. 100%.
No board on the bump/knot/nest is flame free (::pats the heads of all those who think otherwise::).
The closest board to flame free is the miscarriage/loss board, but even then, there were/are some good flamings.

Word. New cars and expensive homes does not make one financially healthy.
Actually the opposite tends to be true in soooo many cases....see my IL post on the previous page. They lived above their means, didn't save, and now DH and I are going to have to support them.
I think complaining about gas prices is stupid. It's a big big world out there and gas is way more expensive in other places. People cope with it by voting for good public transportation and using smaller cars. American's love sprawl. I live in a suburb, but that is a choice. People don't like to admit that where they live is a choice.
Also, if you drive a giant car (anything above a sedan), I have NO sympathy for you.

Holy cow, we have some really nice peeps around here!
FYI I am going to be induced early due to a chronic medical condition, so yes, to answer your questionI will be giving birth at the end of July. Maybe I should have joined the AUG board after all
I think my days here on the bump are done.... I am sure you will not miss me.
I am going to choose to spend my time with adults IRL and on different forums I am on that are kinder to another and do not make fun of each other on the internet to get out their daily frustrations with their own lives.

Are you not WaterBabyBlue that had such a time w/ Saucy and Brianna??
And, you've been here a month. July's FFFC was Flame Free maybe the first week, since then nothing on this board is flame free.
Hmm, yes I did disagree with them and their name calling/bullying. I lurked here for awhile and got the feeling that this board was not full of name calling/etc, but I was obviously very wrong.
I will remember next week that FFFC is in fact not flame free and I will have my BGP and my boxing gloves on
Oh and BTW, I was not the only one that had issues with those 2 users. I was just the only one who had enough courage to call them on their BS.
H wanted a FIFA Soccer Game for his x-box and I told him he couldn't buy it until the nursery was done. You know what, the nursery is done and he has is game.
I've never never never done anything like that before. I swear it brought out my inner beast. H didn't bat an eye though, he agreed that his game would distract him. Now that he has the game, he plays it about 3 times a week for about 20-30 mins at a time. He's no gamer, and really, it would have been fine for him to have it before.
We'll miss you sweet Debbie Girl (4.21.12) and sweet Cindy Girl (8.9.12)

I missed all the drama but let me just say, if you lurked here for more than 2 days, you would've known that this board is not flame free... nor has it ever been flame free.
oh and while we are looking up the definition of FFFC, the C stands for Confession.. saying you think people shouldn't call names is an opinion, and UO's are on tuesday. And while were at it, saying "It shows that they are probably not so confident in their own choices.." is an assumption. You're welcome for the lesson.
I really want to feel sorry for those people that had 3,000 sq. foot homes, new cars, etc. But how far above their means were they living to have those things? Did they pay cash for their cars and keep a year's salary in the bank? No? Well then they were like so many other Americans, who were just setting themselves up for total loss during the recession. The typical mindset of Americans needed to be reset. Not wishing those problems on anyone, but people in this country are ridiculous about their possessions, most of which they don't actually own.
Ha! This. 100%.
No board on the bump/knot/nest is flame free (::pats the heads of all those who think otherwise::).
The closest board to flame free is the miscarriage/loss board, but even then, there were/are some good flamings.

Blu - when is your due date? I'm due July 8th and I have 70 days left. You are due in 100 days, so July 38th?
Word. New cars and expensive homes does not make one financially healthy.
Actually the opposite tends to be true in soooo many cases....see my IL post on the previous page. They lived above their means, didn't save, and now DH and I are going to have to support them.

I think complaining about gas prices is stupid. It's a big big world out there and gas is way more expensive in other places. People cope with it by voting for good public transportation and using smaller cars. American's love sprawl. I live in a suburb, but that is a choice. People don't like to admit that where they live is a choice.
Also, if you drive a giant car (anything above a sedan), I have NO sympathy for you.

Actually, it was never Flame Free. The first week, the one girl mentioned allowing her dog to pee in the house because she was too tired to let him out.....and we all pounced.
Never actually Flame Free
There's a difference between expressing your opinion, and being judgemental and self-righteous, which is how you came across.
Holy cow, we have some really nice peeps around here!
FYI I am going to be induced early due to a chronic medical condition, so yes, to answer your questionI will be giving birth at the end of July. Maybe I should have joined the AUG board after all
I think my days here on the bump are done.... I am sure you will not miss me.
I am going to choose to spend my time with adults IRL and on different forums I am on that are kinder to another and do not make fun of each other on the internet to get out their daily frustrations with their own lives.
I wish you ladies ALL a happy and healthy pregnancy, quick labor and peaceful parenthood.
Oh, I had forgotten about that! I stand corrected!
FFS. This is your second time leaving the Bump. I think the problem is you, not us. So long!
I DO!!! My hair is naturally straight so I curl it for most "special occasions"

holy drama! i always miss the fun stuff, for once i got to read it

if DH does not get off the stupid computer, my confession is about to be a ridiculous trip to the pizza buffet bc this child is eating it's way out of me. i'm STARVING.
