Re: UO Thursday
I don't see what is wrong with rocking your baby to sleep every night. This may be my AP-lite point of view talking.
Started TTC 05.08
Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH
DH: perfect
1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p
2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
1 FET in Aug 2013 = BFP!
I agree with this one. I totally understand that this board is for concerns and questions regarding our LO's, but sometimes you have to make a decision on your own and trust it. I am a FTM and I have my worries, but I am not concerned about changing my baby's clothes before we go out. I feel bad for these mom's because worrying so much has probably made it hard for them to just enjoy having their new baby around.
As much as I love staying home with DD and am thankful that I can, there are days when I wish I didn't decide to stop teaching. Having conversations with other adults is something I no longer take for granted.
I agree. Faking an emergency just to find out the gender is wrong even on regular insurance. Besides, you shouldn't have to fake an emergency for an ultrasound. I was on medicaid during my pregnancy, and they were able to tell me the gender during the anatomy ultrasound. Even if my regular insurance covered maternity (it did not, hence the medicaid), it's still wrong to fraud the medical system for an extra ultrasound if the routine u/s didn't get the gender.
Agreed, even though my contact was with criminals. I enjoyed researching laws and putting my mind to the test. I don't feel like I get to challenge myself mentally anymore.
LOL, I so agree with this, but my DH does not for some reason. He says saying "penis" is weird and that he has and always will call it a weiner. He is so immature lol.
I'm right there with ya on both points! Nice to see there's other Libertarians out there.
I think "sleep when the baby sleeps" is the biggest bunch of BS advice there is. If I would have followed that advice I would have never showered or ate.
I can't stand that we offer apologies to people for our opinion. Like people who say "I don't mean to bash FFers" or "I don't mean to offend" or "X is good for me and Y is not. But it is okay that you like Y and not X."
DH and I were talking about libertarianism and how it seems to be a fad.

I'll see your libertarianism and raise you my anarcho-capitalism. Though, DH says it is me being contrarian.
Its not really a fad, it's the same principles our nation was founded on, so it's actually quite old.
I absolutely agree with you that libertarianism is based on the same principles our nation was founded on. But it seems that in the last 10 years, the major parties have been losing voters while the Libertarian party has continued to grow (some estimates say by at least 8% since 2008).
This may be in part due to Ron Paul and his presence on college campuses. And, it seems that a lot of conservative people in Hollywood have had to hide behind the guise of being a libertarian to prevent them from being ostracized. As a result, there is more focus in the media on libertarians, which therefore helps spread the gospel of small government and making it more likely that people who would never have heard of the philosophy will decide to align themselves with it. Hence some of the reasons I think it is a fad.
Oh, and let's not forget the marijuana thing. I think a lot of people are libertarians because they want to smoke pot, one reason why college campuses are a hotbed of libertarian activity. Let them grow up, get a job, and have kids and see where that leads them.
