Santa and presents are awesome; so is Christmas music.

And I had to look up who Phil Robertson was...I guess that's my UO. And I suppose he has every right to be an asshat.

So if someone's kid does something yours doesn't, the parents must be practicing terrible parenting techniques? Yeah.... That's sound logic...
Who needs logic when you're married to a pre-med student? She obvs knows everything there is to know. About everything. In the world.
Let's be real here.. Pre-med = biology undergrad student.

I'm about to be pretentious, but I guess I don't care.

The chances that this guy will actually make it to med school are slim. A lot of people like to brag about being pre-med but don't actually have the smarts or work ethic to earn the grades and test scores needed to be accepted. I doubt this guy will ever even apply.

I normally don't get involved in UO, but this comment is ignorant as shit. I think it's pretty clear that everyone on this board is working their asses off to get their babes to sleep, whether they are bedsharing, using the swing, RNP, PnP, crib, etc. Just because your baby hates the crib doesn't mean the rest of us are just throwing our LO in the crib and then parking our asses on the couch while LO has an epic meltdown for 3 hours before they pass out from sheer exhaustion.

FWIW, I spend a solid 3 hours in DD's nursery every night feeding her, rocking her, and getting her comfy in the crib. I did this with DS too and he was a great sleeper in his crib, and is now a great sleeper in his big boy bed.

Would it be easier to just leave DD in her crib to figure it out on her own? Hell yes. Would I ever do this, especially at 2 months old? HELL NO.

Get off your high horse.

Jealous much?

So, you have had 3 kids and none of them slept in the crib? After three tries I would check my technique. You're obviously doing it wrong.

Eta your/you're sorry I'm not premed.

StefMurph · December 2013

@married2premed My almost 3 month old has slept in her crib in our room since she was home from the hospital at 4 days old. She's never had another option to be able dislike her crib. #youdontknowwhatyouaretalkingabout

@NRyan55 thank you!! You're rocking this morning and I want to dry hump your leg. In a friendly way.

My 18 year old is gay and it took him longer to accept it than it took me. He goes to church (we don't) and has been accepted by all the little old church ladies because he's just so sweet and caring. They may be oblivious to his sexual preference--which shouldn't define anyone. He has studied the versus in the bible that "refer to homosexuality" and has become very good at defending himself with things like - divorce being a sin. I'm team #everyonedeserveslove

My UO - my dh and I don't want to have our dd play with Barbie. I never did and I'm ok. If rather her play outside, ride her horse, play with Legos.

trackgirlparis · December 2013

I do t have a UO because I suck at them but I just had to say that it makes me extremely sad for the little boys who won't be allowed to have a doll/Barbie whatever, if they want one :-(

He might be.....a dad one day regardless.
I highly doubt that if I don't buy my son a Barbie doll he won't be a good father. He has a stuffed buzz light year that is his baby as well as a space ranger. He plays with the baby dolls at school same as he plays with kitchen area. In fact for his birthday he will hopefully be getting a play kitchen because he loves to help make meals and pretend to cook. My child will be well rounded even if he never had the glory of owning a Barbie doll.

Barbie doll =/= baby doll

And no one said you had to buy one. My DCP lets all the kids play with dolls and dress up, she has to hide that from some of the parents of boys. I think that's sad.

I like that graphic, and I think it points out that allowing boys to have nurturing toys is important. There are some shitty dads (even right here on this board) and maybe if we encouraged boys to take care of things (not even dolls, maybe animals?) they'd be less clueless when it comes time to having their own babies.

I've worked at an afterschool program where I had parents ask me not to let their boys play dress up or play with dolls and I've also had parents ask me to not their daughter play sports or with the trucks/cars. I obviously didn't deny these children.
I also don't deny my son to play as he wishes. I just simply won't be buying and dolls, he may be able to get away with a baby doll (big maybe) but he's never asked me for one. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. He still prefers to ride his bike and play with superheroes.

I guess there are exceptions. The people that rub me the wrong way are those that are gaming the system or being sneaky by getting their maternity benefits when they have no intention of returning to the company, thereby leaving the company screwed over when they never come back. It just seems very selfish to me.

sweettooth87 · December 2013

Whoa today's got escalated quickly!

Re the crib thing, we all know Oct13 babies are overachieving magical unicorn babies. As a result, some of 'em are going to sleep in their cribs w/o putting up a fight. My magical unicorn baby doesn't... but I still don't think they let their babies CIO.

Re the duck dynasty.. I think tolerance goes BOTH ways; however, I think it was uncalled for him to even somewhat compare bestiality and homosexuality. I 100% do not agree w/ his opinion, but if he kept civil, I wouldn't have an issue w/ him expressing his beliefs. On the "HTT - Thursday addition", sooner actually gives a really good west wing (I think) quote as a rebuttal to the bible quote that the Duck Dynasty guy quoted. Go check it out.

Re Christmas lights, I think when people have a whole bunch of random colored lights covered their bushes, etc., it looks like a unicorn shat all over their yard..and not in a good way.

Dolls are just creepy.

And for mine, iPhones suck (Droid all the way) but I do love their new commercial "misunderstood". Tugs at the heartstrings!

If by riding on coat tails you mean raising 4 babies on my own and working to afford that tuition than yeah, I deserve his degree as much as he does.

I work (ed) very hard for my company and why would I give up 6-8 weeks of pay that I deserve...Just because I won't be going back?

Love Christmas music listen to it all year. Love Santa and giving others tons of gifts. Makes me sad that hubby's work is behind 3 months or mileage/has reimbursement checks and I'm not getting paid at 100% and can't afford what we normally can. Gifts for LO and our parents only this year. Who the fuck is Phil Robertson? (Will look it up later but by the post he seems dumb but he is entitled to his own opinion) My LO sleeps her in crib during the day no problem I haven't put her in there at night she sleeps in her PNP. I do let her cry but not CIO I let her cry for a couple minutes tops if I am taking the pup out, using the potty or getting something out of the stove or whatever but if I am just laying around I am to her within a matter of seconds. I love AW posts as well I love showing off my rainbow baby and I love seeing everyone else's little ones. O13 cuties babies!!! I don't mind the multi-color lights but some of the decorations that they do in multi-color lights are just stupid.

My UO - I think charging something you don't NEED is stupid. Don't get yourself into debt over a TV or game system. I understand houses, cars, charging to build credit (I did this and only charged gas then paid it off every month) or if you are in need of something. Flame away

None of my 4 babies have ever slept in a crib for more than 20 minutes. I personally don't know any mamas who have successfully used a crib for their babies. Even with tricks like the heating pad or a blankie that smells like mama......I think with rare exception, if you tell me your baby sleeps in a crib, I feel you must be practicing some form of CIO. How can your baby not be screaming their head off? Even if you go In there and comfort them every 5 minutes, they have to be screaming their little heads off. Or does everyone have magical babies who love cribs? Flame away, but I really don't believe your babies are sleeping in their cribs quietly and peacefully. Just admit you CIO, seriously! And RNP does not count as a crib. Flame away, or share your secrets....cause I'm just not buying it.

Ahhhhhg my ds has been sleeping in his crib since 5w and I deft do not let him CIO....ever. I don't have to comfort him every 5 mins. He sleeps from 8pm to anywhere from 1-4am. I have 2monitors that I watch him on and I get up as soon as I hear him just like you would if your LO slept next to you in an PnP. I mean is just a different sleeping contraption in a different room. Just bc he sleeps in his crib doesn't mean he's locked away in a cold dark dank room and we just let him cry for hours. In fact he's much happier in his crib then he ever was in the rnp

Duck dynasty-that guy and anyone who thinks homosexuality is a sin is a fucking moron. Why does anyone care who other people are sleeping with anyway? If it's 2 consensual adults who fucking cares! And it's always the people that are so interested in what everyone should and shouldn't be doing with their genitals that are going on meth fueled sexcapades.

This. I basically fly SW airlines free. We get 800 bucks in credit every time we sign up for a card--and I've signed up for 4, h signed up for 4...we've also earned enough points just by taking advantages of the right promotions at the right times, that we fly companions free. So not only do we spend only points to fly, it's half off since companion flys free. Love it.

I adore colored lights on Christmas trees.

I love dressing my man in outfits with pants...but he always ends up peeing through them somehow. And by pants I mean sweat pants, etc. He's too tiny for jeans!
