It's almost six on the west coast. Let's get this thing started!

My mom took the baby for the night last night and, instead of getting a decent night's sleep, I ended up being nervous most of the night and needlessly waking up at 5. I'd rather not have a break from her, so that I know how she's doing and I can sleep.

I do not like hot tubs. They gross me out for some reason. Our friends got one and are excited to have people over. I have no interest.

I don't believe people who say they were taking their BCP correctly (at the same time, every single day) AND using condoms and still got KTFU.

And I don't believe that girl over on J14 who got KU with twins with an IUD in and am surprised that more people didn't call MUD.

Cbarajas08 · May 2013

I think hash tags are unnecessary. There is no need for each word in your photo caption to be hash tagged.

Whittyone12 · May 2013

I hate the food network and cooking shows.

Also CD snobs annoy me. Don't get me wrong I love getting new diapers, and I love my prints. But why spend 22/diaper when you can pay 6/ diaper the only difference is there is no BG tag. It's a poop catcher, I would think you would want to spend less money.

If you hashtag on facebook I give a giant eyeroll.  Hate it. 

Double hate! I understand if it's uploaded via Instagram or twitter but just to hash tag for the sake of it? Whyyyy? Pinterest has started up with the hash tagging and it irks me to no end.

I'm not sure if this is a UO, but it has been bothering me since last night.

WTF is up with AZ physically restraining students who are angry? And locking them in small rooms to contain them? I know some students are aggressive, but are all kids in AZ aggressive enough that they need to be treated like mental patients? Seems excessive to me.

I think it's okay to let kids hurt themselves a little bit.nbsp; I don't mean serious damage, but a little bump never hurt anyone.nbsp; We let DD explore and pull herself up on a lot of stuff in our house except bookcases, the tv stand and other really dangerous things and sometimes she'll fall and bump her head a little or bump her leg.nbsp; This kid is a daredevil.nbsp; She has no fear.nbsp; I don't want to constantly be pulling her away from things or not letting her play with something because she might bonk herself in the head with it.nbsp; I want her to learn what's okay to play with and what's not.nbsp; We can't make everything offlimits to her.nbsp; Hopefully this will help her learn some boundaries and learn how to do things without hurting herself.

We do this too. I think it's ok as long as we are still safe about it.

I took it ten years. Ten. I had an alarm on my phone to take it at 9:00 each night. I didn't use condoms though.

I don't know her story well but I do know that she claims that her IUD was there one day and suddenly gone the next so chances are it could be total MUD but FWIW there are two women in my local moms of multiples group that got pregnant with their twins while having an IUD. When I had mine inserted I said something to my OB, who has twins, about how I was glad to have it because I didn't want to risk another set and she informed me that she had one when she got pregnant with her twins, too. Apparently it's possible but unlikely which isn't enough reassurance to keep me from freaking out every time we DTD.

So much WORD to this. No one would spend 4 times the amount on disposable diapers just because they had a cute tag on them. This also reminded me that I STILL haven't received my order. How many months ago was that now? Cripes! I don't suppose you have some kind of insider super secret contact number do you?

I don't consider myself a CD snob, but in our experience the cheaper diapers have always leaked for us. We have tried Alvas, kawaiis, and both were crap. I sold them. We use bumGenius and blueberry exclusively. I wish the cheaper ones worked.

Same here. We use GMD prefolds and blueberry covers, overnight we use a fitted and blueberry covers (but starting wool soon). I'm not a snob, I just don't like leaky diapers. P.S.-not everyone CD's to save money.

I intend to parent with benign neglect. I think kids need to learn resourcefulness and problem solving. That's not something I can teach better than he can teach himself.

What in AZ are you referencing? I'm in AZ and haven't heard anything in the news about this lately.

Physical restraint and time out rooms are pretty common across the US. In fact, it's pretty common for a SPED teacher to receive restraint training. There are situations where a child is a harm to himself or others and restraint is the only way to keep everyone (including the child) safe. There are probably MORE situations where the situation was not correctly deescalated and the restraint could have been avoided.

I don't want to diminish how much it must hurt to be essentially ignored on a special day. But reciprocating that hurt will only serve to perpetuate the problem.

ETA: And I'm not saying to continue on with life and pretend like you're not hurt. But being passive agressive is not the answer.

cedenton · May 2013

My CD related UO isn't so much an opinion...

We CD, but I use a service. I wanted less diaper rash, less landfill waste, possibility of easy potty training, etc. but didn't want to wash them myself. We're probably paying about what we would if we used disposables. I think it's worth it.

And I love Blueberry covers. We have four of those and one similar one and they're pretty much the only ones we use anymore (the snaps ones).

Judge away. Not only did he not get me a card for my birthday from my son, he completely flaked out on Mother's Day. N.O.T.H.I.N.G. This coming from the guy who hates to throw any of his cards away because he is so sentimental. He even cried when my Grandmother bought him a grandson birthday card the first year we were married because both his grandmothers are gone, and he hadn't received a card in years like that.

I will absolutely get him a card for Father's Day, and maybe something small. But I am not putting a lot of thought and effort in to it. I take care of him every.single. day, and I don't think it was too much to ask to at least get a Mother's Day card.

She said her IUD fell out and he didn't notice. I've never had one I would think when you went to the bath room and it fell out you might feel something but I have no clue. Apparently 1 in 100 IUD's fall out. IDK i'm taking her story with a grain of salt for now.

Ok. I can understand being hurt, but from this response, it seems there are issues that stem much deeper than simply not getting you a card.

MrsWhipple · May 2013

Yes, when he didn't get me one for my birthday I told him how hurt I was, and please don't make the same mistake for Mother's Day. His excuse was that he is busy. Really? We have a Dollar General 3 blocks from our house that sells cards. I don't think that I was unreasonable with him.

He doesn't get lunch breaks? Or have five extra minutes to spend on amazon? That would anger me too.

I don't even mind that he didn't get me a gift, money is tight right now. I just wanted a card for my 1st Mother's Day.

I remember when we first got married, I was looking forward to my first wife birthday card. Didn't happen. He just got me a generic birthday card. I think it took him 2-3 years before he got me a wife birthday card.
