Re: UO Thursday
I'll add that it even annoys me when people do this IRL. Everyday at lunch I hear about how so and so made salmon the night before with roasted asparagus etc..like can't we find better things to talk about?
But she's better than all of us, don't cha know?
Someone else around here doesn't like cheesecake too, can't remember who. Crazy people.
I JUST figured out who you were lol. Duh.
me!
Word!
i don't have my own uo (like usual) but i'm gonna hijack everyone elses....
i eat greek yogurt. i've been on ww off and on for 4 yrs and they always said to eat it....no one i know does. then a coworker brought it in and told me to try it. i love the chobani raspberry, peach, and pomagrant.
i read twiliight, couldn't stand how poorly it was wrtiiten, but got caught up in the romance/story. now i've read 2.5 of the hunger games books in 2 weeks. a friend told me to read them last yr, i goot a nook for christmas, and needed something to read (and they don't have hp in the ebooks
) i highly reccomend it, i love the story

Is this about me? Just for the record, I dont really care what you do, and/or how you feed your child. I just said that I'd probably judge you for it. And I'm sure you'd judge me for things I do that you dont agree with. Anyway, I'm not going to let it ruffle my feathers. It was my opinion, and as the saying goes, "Opinions are like armpits, Everyone has them, and some of them stink. (and some of them are hairy!)
Here is my UO:
I can't stand how catty this board has become.
This is getting downright ridiculous.
Boo.
No, I'm sorry for the confusion.
I wear yoga pants like everyday.
I dont even care, I wish I did.
Wear them to work, (its a martial arts school, so it works)
Even wore them to jury duty with nice sweaters for 3 weeks last year. Still wonder if I should have pointed out my pregnancy during jury selection. but that was neccesary
I do have a chance to dress up Friday and I wont wear them. promise.
Ok Thanks...I was just like...Woah. I didnt mean to piss somebody off because I had an opinion! haha!
Good for you. My DD and DS both started signing milk at roughly 6 months so I guess I should have switched DD to formula or cows milk and DS to expensive as sin elemental formula (since he is allergic to dairy).
I'll proudly BF DS for as long as it is mutually desired. BM also doesn't lose its nutritive value at some arbitrary date, be that 6 months or 12 months.
My UO: Formula is nutritionally subpar to breastmilk and I think it's a shame that people tiptoe around this fact to avoid hurt feelings.
Does formula have a place, of course, adoption is an obvious example. But it's widely used because companies can make money off it.

Im actually proud as hello kitty that I have never had a baby on my boob for a single second!
Neat.
This x 1,000,000! Definitely goes both ways. I think sometimes people get way on the defensive over a parenting decision that is the polar opposite of theirs and feel the need to immediately get defensive over it.
I did not realize Hello Kitty was known for her pride. I really wish I could have gotten the swing of breast feeding, I sucked at it. Which brings me to MY UO: I love pumping!!!
Now that has to be a truly unpopular opinion!
I would never judge someone for trying and not being successful at it. I'm sorry it didn't work and hopefully it will with LO#2.
You come up with creative ways to swear when you have big kids. I swear a lot but to set a good example to them I say things like this & fudge. I start to swear realize what Im doing & change it to a good word.
I also almost killed myself trying to BF DD. I did EVERYTHING as well. My supply did and still does just suck.
UO: My child is on donated BM and I am proud of it. She was not a preemie and does not have a medical condition. It's just the BEST thing I can do for her. So, in addition to the 10-12oz a day I can produce for her she gets 17ish oz of donated human milk.
I'd also like to add that she has had formula. I'm in no way saying formula is evil and will kill your child. I have enfamil to go packets in my diaper bag just in case and she was supplemented with similac for almost a month.

You mean formula is better than starving. Impossible, who spread this propaganda!
I'm very passionate about breastfeeding when possible, but as someone who struggled with supply with my first I hate when people judge without knowing the whole story. I now EBF DS as well as pump and donate to my Goddaughter, but had a mom "call me out" the other day for feeding DS formula when it was actually pumped BM. Boy was she red when I explained that I am not only feeding him BM, but another child as well.
I actually have never been a fan of huge headbands. Then I ordered an outfit online for DD's 6 month photos, and the one in siggy pic showed up. I didn't realize how big it was from the picture online. Oh well. Is it bigger than I normally go for, yep. But it's more a prop to me, not something I would put her in every day. It's cute to me.
Having said that, I love Baby Legs, but I never use DD's b/c they cut the circulation off to her chubby thighs.
You rock for donating. Thank you for doing so!

Thats total crap, Im glad you gave it right back to her.
Thank you for sharing this, AG. I had a similar experience with BFing, and despite my strong desire for it to work for us, it didn't. I was depressed about it for a long time. If I had known more about donated milk I may have taken the same route that ohdrama took, but I didn't and so DS is FF. He's completely healthy and happy, and I doubt any of our children will be asked on their college entrance exams if they were BF'd, FF'd, CD'd or wore disposables.

What I meant was directed to Booger+bear and all the other judgies on here that feel the need to talk down to people who are different. I agree it goes both ways and I dislike anyones condesending remarks on here.
