FFFC- I kinda hope ACaudill and KC have an epic net battle. Tell me that wouldn't be awesome to sit back and watch.

Looks like you might get your wish. :P

And I LOLed at KC saying acaudill misses the point quite a bit, since that's always what everyone accuses HER of when they're netbattling her.

Oh, well. Haven't seen a good KC netbattle in a while. We're overdue.

I will not be joining said netbattle. Work wants me to work, which is also total bullshitt.

I'm missing the point again. Does KC net battle with everyone? Should I bring my A game, or ignore??? I mean, its lunchtime for me, so I need to know whether its worth it ...

It makes tampon commercials *really* confuzzling.
LuckyDad is on a roll this morning!

Hopefully it will spill over once I actually start working.

My coffee cup is empty. I'm out of excuses. At least I read this whole thread.

My DH is spoiled by his father in the wardrobe department. His SMIL has his dad change dress clothing wardrobe constatly to suit the fashion, so my DH is constantly receiving last season's suits. I'm jealous I don't have anyone handing me down some sweet fashion.

My wardrobe sucks a dong. I want to update it, but my kids keep wanting to eat and not be cold.

It is total bullshitt. They're ingrates.

Hey mine too! Plus my body won't make up it's mind (it has it's own) about what size it wants to be. I have clothes from size 5 to 14 and I just want to be able to settle on a size and keep it.

For one second I thought this was LD talking and I was like really? It was just funny to me.

I am pretty sure I am going to play volleyball even though my doctor advised against it. It is a laid back league and no one is spiking the ball so hard that it would hit me in the belly. It makes me happy and I am going to go. I feel like the doctor just needs to say that it isn't a good idea in case of injury.

I am going to lie to my H about volleyball.

I think about having a cigarette in July more then I think about the new baby and trying to take care of two kids.

I am super hormonal due to approaching AF- but my H's family is starting to drive me batty regarding the overuse of "She's a (insert our/H's last name)!" And then it's sometimes followed by, she's a ___, she doesn't complain/whine/other positive attribute. I take it as myself/my family doesn't have those qualities, and it doesn't help they're a super close knit family that tends to think their way is the only way to do things and seem to think anyone out of their family is less. For example, on holidays they do group shots with the kids(DH and siblings) and I'm always left out- but DD is in the picture. I feel weird because it's like I was just the carrier for DD, not the wife of their son/brother.

Yes, I know this is probably irrational.

She's Batman now.

It's like when Commissioner Gordon puts on the Bat Costume so Bruce Wayne and Batman can be in the same room at the same time.

Funny, I tend to do the opposite. I say DDs are (insert DH's family name) whenever they do something unacceptable or annoying. I often feel like I was just a vessel to MIL. Then I remind myself she has nothing else in her life that makes her happy but her sons and her grandchildren.

Umm... what?!?! And your DH just let's this fly? That is effed up.

Yeah, weird right? In all honesty, that was this Xmas but every other she hasn't been in it. So bad example maybe. But I try to be understanding that different families have different customs and ideals of closeness(and of course pick my battles).. but it's starting to get to me now.

Yes. She has ruffled many a feather.

Ignore, or netbattle if you're bored. But that girl can dig her heels in like no other. lol

I'll give it a miss then. It's not like its a serious issue, like Spartacus or something like that.

My confession-not necessarily flammable-I need to update my wardrobe so that I look like an adult. People usually think I'm about ten years younger than I actually am anyway. But I think it might help if I get some "grown up clothes"? Yesterday, the preschool director stopped by for me to sign some paperwork. I answered the door and she asked "Oh, are you the baby sitter?" I was like "Um....I'm the mom."
I guess jeans with holes, flannels, and t shirts aren't okay anymore?

I'm right there with ya. I used to be flattered when people thought I was so young. Now I just feel like I should be on "What Not to Wear."

Nicotine is such a nasty b!tch. You won't even try to quit?

I won't smoke my whole life but it really got me through my PPD and taking care of DD that first year.....if it will help me be happy and stay sane with two kids that I am going to do it. I never smoked around DD and never in the house or the car....mostly at work and then after DD went to bed....I think it will be like that again. I also didn't smoke while breastfeeding....I had to stop that to go on the right meds for PPD. If I can breastfeed this one and not need meds then I won't smoke till I go back to work.

I absolutely looked forward to smoking a cigarette after both my kids were born.

I originally read this as group shots, like alcohol shots so I thought, wow her ILs sound like fun! But then I realized it's photos and think that's pretty messed up. Are all the wives excluded? They do realize wives are part of the family, right?

I hate t
No, I'm not equating watching tv to smoking while pregnant. I just hate when people try to use personal antecdotes to undermine science. Science shows TV viewing in children under 2 has no positive consequences and a long list of potential negative consequences so many parents feel it's important to avoid TV exposure with kids who aren't even 1 yet. Your response to those people is "That's silly, I watched TV and I have a PhD, people should lighten up!"

That poster wasn't equating television equally as dangerous as playing with knives. Someone suggested that they let their kid watch tv since it makes them happy. That poster responded that was a weak argument and stated their child would be happy grabbing knives. It wasn't comparing TV as dangerous as playing with knives--you clearly missed the point. You seem to miss the point quite a bit...

Perhaps you are right. I missed the point you were making that your way of thinking is far superior to mine because you read an article that tv is detrimental to children under two. Jenny McCarthy wrote a whole book on Autism. So I guess she is an authority and I should listen to her when trying to decide whether or not to vaccinate my children. Do you see how that argument is flawed? No? And its not anecdotal or hearsay if I refer to something I actually did. But, whatevs, I'm obviously insecure with regards to pontificating parents.

It's not an article. It's what the AAP has released after numerous studies on the matter.

https://www2.aap.org/pressroom/mediaunder2.pdf

LMAO at comparing a book Jenny McCarthy wrote to studies done at reputable universities that have been published in pediatric journals. Your ignorance is astounding.

I'm going to give you a quick vocab lesson. Antecdotal means something you actually did. WTF did you think it meant? LOL.

You have to tell me what university you got your PhD. University of Pheonix perhaps?

First, that is not the definition. It just has to be a story that happened to someone, somewhere. Not personally. Noun
A short and amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person.
An account regarded as unreliable or hearsay.

Second, taking cheap shots at someone's education just makes you look uneducated, not the other person.

Also you spelled anecdotal wrong. Where's your phd from again?

MrsCodeMonkey · January 2013

Does someone have phD envy? I think online degrees are becoming more and more common. I only took one online class and found it to be much tougher than I expected. Since there's no class to go to and veg out, there are a million assignments. For the record, I do not hold a phD from Phoenix or elsewhere.

He needs to keep his long, brown, floppy hair:

He looks like a long-lost Malfoy on that picture, LD.

Also, OIC. KC is being a jerk again.
