Title: I don't care. (Drama infused)
Want some drama? I'll start because I'm in a snarky mood.
I don't care that YOUR baby won't sleep. I have a good sleeper. DS was a good sleeper, too. But even when she's not a good sleeper...I have no patience for people who say, "What can I do to get my newborn to sleep better?" Umm...wait 5 months.
I don't care that you breast feed. Kudos to you and your baby, it's absolutely great that you can. I wish I had the patience and time for it, but honestly, I seriously don't care.
I don't care that you are exhausted. Seriously. Unless you have two kids or more, and you're still on mat leave, there's no reason why you should feel completely exhausted. Take a darn nap. Newborns sleep like at least 20 hours a day. You could at least be getting a broken 12 hours of sleep. (Though, breastfeeding can be exhausting, so maybe I should include those ladies to my exception, too.) I get through every single day without help (well...every day SO is at work). I have the most obnoxious and naughty two year old who throws the most amazing tantrums and quite a needy newborn WHILE he's throwing them. By the end of the day, I'm flacking tired but I'm not going to complain about it every dang day. Beat that.
I don't care that you feel fat after you had a baby. If you haven't been fat all your life, especially if you just gained weight from having a baby, cry me a river. I don't give a flying flack. Eat well, and workout like there's no tomorrow. This doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the workout posts and such. I think they are great motivators for all of us. But if you're going to complain that you feel fat, I don't care. (Myself not included because I'm pretty sure I complained yesterday feeling like a blob.)
I can go on...but I'll leave some for you. I told you I'm snarky today.
Feel free to add yours.

Not snarky at all...I started realizing this morning that I've been overly obsessed. I've put a hold on that shiz. Thanks for telling me!
bahahaha.
All seriousness, Ive been skipping over sleep, and EBF posts. Can we just have one big post where people put their not STTN posts? Because as far as I know, some babies don't even STTN until after a year.
I love this board because at times it's severely entertaining in my non social life. However, I love this board because I can ask questions and see other people are going through the same exact thing as I am. However............fifty million posts of what can I do to get my baby to sleep through the night? Moving on............ There's just some things that I feel have been said way.too.many.times.
Can I add, not all babies are beautiful? Sure, you love your baby but it can still look like an elderly alien. I avoid saying a baby is cute if it isn't.
This. Especially if you feel you should have a badge of honor for how you gave birth or how you feed your child. There is no right or wrong so why do you feel you need a "trophy"?
I entirely disagree with this....but ok. I. Don't. Care.

I agree! Every time I see a badge it makes me sad...like "how nice, I was forced to have a c-section and my supply sucks so I have to supplement formula...I suck at being a mom." Now I know 100% that that's not their intent AT ALL...still doesn't make me feel any better....

I don't understand the reason for them anyway. I dunno it's like flashing things like "I am good look at me."
Couldn't have said it better myself. And I know that's not their intent. They are proud of their accomplishments and I would be too! When nature goes against you it sucks
Self pity party over....
I'm going to bite too... how you give birth... eh, I don't think you should have a badge of honor. Feeding, however, I have a different opinion about. Demodoll, you are trying to feed baby your breastmilk... that counts for everything!! Way to go. You should feel proud even though you have to supplement with formula. What gets me are the women who don't even attempt to try. Why not? They always have the most selfish excuses like "I don't have time". REALLY? I am a full time mom, student, and teacher and somehow I STILL find time to give my baby breastmilk. I even pump in the car between work and class. So, yes, I feel like breastfeeding moms deserve a badge of honor. Now, if you have supply issues (you should still TRY to pump), or medical issues (whether physical or emotional) that prevent you from breastfeeding then I understand but to not try at all... I don't get it.
I am in complete agreement with this.

I did specifically say in my post that if you have medical issues (either physical or emotional) then it is understandable.
Ah, remember these subjects?:
Will you get the NT scan?
Baby showers and etiquette
I don't feel sick anymore. Should I be worried?
How can I avoid stretchmarks?
How many ultrasounds did you/will you have?
Gift b*tching. (OMG...I can't believe they bought me something that wasn't on my registry. I can't believe insert family member gave me insert gift here and its just not my style.)
These subjects can be found on all bump boards in their appropriate times. Just reminiscing.
Because in all honesty I didn't want to. And the beautiful thing of it is that I as the parent had the choice. My kid is fed. That is what really matters.
Seriously! Did I miss the gender reveal cake?
Bahahahah I love where this thread has gone.
Wow, I didn't realize you all dislike me. Or even recognized me on here for that matter since I don't post that often. But I apologize. I really don't mean to be awful. I guess we all have our share of stress and maybe I've been taking it out on you guys. I'm sorry, and that will change.
I didn't say I was someone special to say what is and isn't understandable but I (personally) just don't get it. I have plenty of friends who don't BF... do I give them crap and am judgemental of them or try to pressure them into BF? No, I'm not. What I am saying is I just don't understand why some women don't at least try. Yes, it is a personal decision but it is one that I am proud of doing. I'm sure there is something your proud of that I don't do so it is the same concept. Same reason why this whole post was started about people not caring about others questions, concerns, and personal accomplishments. Everyone has their opinions.
hey dear.
i think there might have been a quote mix up and don't think they were talking about you. i don't think so.
i recognize you. i like you. you don't need to change.
still working through this thread but LOL at the bold. I feel this way about my own little elderly alien sometimes. But he's still cute as hell.
I just don't click on posts if I'm sick of hearing about the topic...just do the same, kwim?
SCANDAL!
Dude. They were talking about me. Chill. And good to know where I stand. I thought I put advice and questions up just as often as the rest but I guess not. Oh well.
Exactly.
Thanks! Sorry for the misunderstanding and overreaction then
I'm loving this post because it turns out other people dislike the OP as much as I do. It happened somewhere between her posts about screaming at someone in a parking lot and complaining about a different family member every other day.
And OP, referencing the post above, I thought You. Didn't. Care.
Bug Meets World
Proud Mama to cleft cutie
ugh. okay. this isnt fun anymore. bemyself, i like you too.
can we just go back to gifs and bpaws being pregnant.
pretty please.
I am with you on this. This turned into something just rude. The op didn't single anyone out but people's responses are getting personal for someone I have enjoyed corresponding with.
