FFFC!
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC!
I'm not a liar, those things just have no appeal for me, at all.
I'm so over the cult of self loathing that seems to prevalent. I don't see the point of hating your size 8 body just because someone else is a size 2. My sister and my Mom both think this way and they look great. I am sick of this and I am trying really hard to get past this mentality. It isn't helpful it is just destructive. Ugh.
I am actually interested, I don't know what the definition of a feminist is, would you mind explaining? I would like to be educated a bit because I really have never thought about what it means before.
Never have, never will. It's simply not an option. I'm actually amazed at how many people have done this.
FFFC: While I was surprised that anyone has the balls to say they're a better parent than so-and-so on a public message board, I can't feel the rage that so many posters expressed. It was entertaining to be sure, but I just can't get angry about that level of tiny-mindedness.
Me too. I can't imagine having the energy to respond to every small minded post! Especially knowing that nothing will come of it. I must admit I am entertained by the thread though, and I will keep reading them. So by all means, keep replying!
DH and I married 8 years. Mom of three, stepmom of one.
Another FFFC: I'm not a feminist. I believe in equality whole heartedly. I'm just not passionate enough to fight the fight.
In response to all:
If you count 10 seconds of watching porn as watching porn, then yes I've watched it.
I took care of my own business (I can't say the "m" word, I'm weird, I know) for the first time 5 months ago. If DH were home, I would continue to not do it. That being said I maybe do it once a month.
My butt sex experience was in and out so again if you count that, then yes I've had it.
Mrs. W. - I have no comment because I agree; I'm not a part of the situation so I don't feel like I can chime in. That being said, I hope things work out that way you want it to. If not, we are here for you.
BF/FF UO CD thread -- It was the first time I ever participated in a heated bump debate. TBH, I really wanted to BF and was devastated when my dr. told me I couldn't because of the meds she said I had to continue taking during pregnancy and pp. My dr. stressed the fact that if I didn't take my meds, the stress and lack of sleep could cause me to lose the baby and me get ppd. When people have the gall to say I'm a bad mom for that really upsets me because me not BF was the best option to keep me and baby happy. Having been EFF from the beginning, I'm glad I did. If BF is an option when we have another baby, I'm choosing to FF. I really like it. Yes it's very expensive, but being happy and having a happy baby is priceless.
My FFFC - similar to another bumpie's work post. I'm a good teacher, but my paperwork is always late. Like always. I got an e-mail saying I had an open document that needed to be finalized. I thought I did finalize my document, but I checked and there it was, not finalized. I finalized it and am all good (for now - yay for summer vacation). My confession is that I feel bad that I didn't get reamed. Not saying I want to be yelled at but if another teacher - Mr. X - were to have done the same thing, his azz would have been chewed out. I love that my bosses like me, but at the same time it makes me uncomfortable that I get away with so much.
eta: wanted to add, I have no desire to go back and read that UO thread. I've said my peace and am going to clean my house while DS naps.
Yesterday's UO had a reference to HPV, and someone saying it was gross. I was irrationally upset by that because I have HPV. I know it wasn't an attack. Like I said, irrationally upset.
8 years ago I had an irregular pap. I didn't understand how I could have an STD. I showed absolutely no signs, I was safe, and had the vaccine. 6 months later, snd every pap after that came up clean.
Anyway, when I had my physical about a month ago, I had a pap. Guess what showed up!? HPV. I didn't understand. The dr told me it can just stay dormant in my body forever. I can only hope the vaccine will protect me from cervical cancers decades from now [it can take that long to happen]. I wanted to post my worries on here about it, but I was too embarassed. I even created an AE, but still couldn't do it. Then yesterday i was so glad I never posted. It's still bothering me today so here it is.
I don't think you have anything to be embarrassed about. I'm sorry you are going through this and truly hope the vaccine protects you from cancer.
You have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. It's the #1 most prevalent STI- over 90% of sexually active women in their 20s have been exposed at one point. Oh and some people can clear it like a cold and never even know they had it. I don't know who said it was gross but shame on them.
Me too... my LO loves the Kong haha
HPV can hit anyone. I have been with one man my whole life and I had a pap 3 years ago. I don't think that makes me gross or contaminated. I think it makes me human that things happen to even though I was safe.
I know I was wide awake at midnight. I had to make myself go to sleep!
This!!!
I had to have paps every 6 months about 5 years ago because they kept getting abnormal results. I had the cone biopsy and all. I was told it affects some people and not others but all men carry the virus, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong ladies!
My friend did just have a HPV diagnosis and found out she did have cervical cancer. She's goin through treatment and surgery now. I don't think she's dirty or should be ashamed. It's so common!!
Anyway. Don't feel bad. Don't be ashamed.
It's funny, dramatic, sad, happy, crazy...normal family stuff.... plus some illegal hijinks and murders. Lol
LOL
I went to BRU to get a NUK sippy and they only had pink ones. I decided it was dumb to waste the whole trip just because it was pink. DH HAD to comment on it.
LOL. So at my old center, we had a few families who never, I mean never sent their kids extra clothes. They always had blowouts, huge spit ups, everything. We would have to send them home in our extra emergency clothes all the time. They would never return them either, so we started sending the boys home in girls clothes and girls home in boy clothes. Whatdayaknow, the clothes starting coming back!
But he looks very fetching in a pink hat
Tula, you don't have to be embarrassed or feel ashamed about having HPV. I brought up the HPV vaccine in the UO thread. I have had the vaccine. I had abnormal paps starting about 7 years ago. I'm pretty sure I got it from my ex fiance who heard from his ex gf before me that he had HPV. A lot more people have it than you think and it can still get transmitted whether you protect yourself or not. I had several colposcopies done to confirm the type of HPV and luckily none are the ones that cause cervical cancer but my doctor did say it could stay in my body forever. Just know that you aren't alone and while it could be unnerving to find out you get something like this, know that many other people have it too. And take comfort in the fact that there is a vaccine now and that there are even better detection methods so that if it does lead to cervical cancer, it will be caught much earlier than it has been in the past.
Hugs to you, lady.
