I think family insurance coverage should have rate tiers. I don't think it is right that with 1 child I have to pay the same amount as someone with 7 or even more kids! Charge those people more or charge me less.
I agree!
Married my best friend 09.18.11 TTC since 12.10.11, BFP #1 02.10.12 Baby E born 10/18/12. 8.5lbs and 21in of pure perfection!
I don't like putting my LO in fancy clothes, ever. She wears a onesie and a sleeper every day. This is her whole life except for 45 minutes at Xmas when I had her in a fancy dress for pictures. I don't understand making her uncomfortable with her clothes on purpose. She's a baby, so she gets to wear pyjamas every day.
Completely agree. We are on the couch and my little guy is still in his fleece pjs from last night. He's warm, he's happy. Why mess with that?
I don't understand why moms get all butthurt over having to supplement with a little formula. Breastfeeding is best for the baby, yes. But sometimes it's very difficult. And that's not anybody's fault. Heck, back in the day, moms used to do 'shared breastfeeding'. And seeing as how that's not appropriate anymore, but sometimes help still is necessary, formula is OK. Not going to give your child a 12th toe or anything. I seriously don't understand why a mom would get their panties in a twist over 'OMG, THE DOCTOR TOLD ME I HAVE TO GIVE MY BABY 2 OZ OF FORMULA A DAY, I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE'. No such thing. If it will help mom's stress level a tad, and help the baby strive, then supplementing with formula does not make mom a failure whatsoever.

Parents always say they don't want their LO growing up too fast....but sometimes I really, really want to skip ahead to the age when he will sleep through the night at least on most nights. Three and a half months into this, and I STILL haven't slept more than four straight hours at once :-(

I'm sure you didn't mean to offend anyone, but I think its kind of sh*tty to tell someone else how THEY should feel, especially if you haven't been in their shoes. I have to supplement with formula, and frankly it sucks and sometimes I do feel like a failure. I feel like my body failed me, and even though I tried really hard, my body simply just doesn't produce enough to sustain my child. I know the formula won't hurt him, but I still feel a little disappointment everytime I make a bottle, and I have every right to feel that way.

1) I never told anyone how THEY should feel. I specifically said, twice, 'I don't understand why they would feel this way', not 'they should feel this way'.
2) I have been in 'their shoes', so to speak. Except they were my own shoes. I had to supplement due to low birth weight/growth rate. I had absolutely no issues with supplementing, because I wanted what was best for her, and her growing is what was best for her, no matter how it happened. I didn't feel like a failure because I needed help.

I used to side eye people who favored the FB group and plead for them to come back to TB, but I'm becoming one of those people. Maybe I just don't have the cajones to ask semi-controversial questions here or maybe FB really is easier. This isn't a call out, just my preference.
Also, I don't understand the fear of posting your kid's name or pics here due to privacy concerns. I spose I'm just naieve, but it doesn't really concern me. Then again I've never had any really creepy privacy breeches (knock on wood). That might change my mind.
Do you hate me now??? Please say you don't hate me!

I would EP for LO if it werent for the fact that I HATE bottle feeding. I have oversupply and overactive letdown, and LO slows my flow which hurts like a b!tch. Its sort of like putting a kink in a running water hose. Anyways, with the pump, my boobs are free to spray and squirt as they please, and it feels glorious.
Plus, its time that I get to relax. Like a free pass to sit on my butt for ten minutes. Of course it might be different if I were pumping at home with LO and no one to help?

I'm one of those that won't be posting any pics of myself or kids. Seen way too many pics stolen and there are so many creepers out there! It's a public forum, so anybody can see. Someone doesn't like what you have to say...they will dig for info on you and make life miserable lol

Bragging disguised as a complaint, eg "I only gained 2 pounds my whole twin pregnancy!!!!1111"
hahahahaah - this is great.  I gained 70 and still have 40 to lose.  Happy for those that have lost the weight but it's depressing for me to read.
If this is in regards to my "stepped on the scale" post, I am so sorry! I did not mean to make anyone feel bad!!

ZOMG, is my baby sleeping too much? She sleeps 7-7. Am I losing too much weight?11! I eat whatever I want and I'm still losing, OMG!
GTFO.
People who ask if their baby is sleeping too much or if they should wake up their baby in the middle of the night to feed him/her make me crazy with rage. It's not their fault. I'm just super effing jealous.

1. I think GIFs are annoying. I usually skip posts with them in it.
2. David Beckham is not hot. There I said it.
Oh and I completely agree about the bragplaining. So effing annoying.
Gif parties are one thing. Every. Single. Post. Is another.

Sometimes still loosing isn't always good and it might not be bragging.
That's how it sounds to the rest of us. If you really think there is a problem consult a doctor.
