@LaurenJeff, I don't think your LO looks like a 10 year old. @beaubecca I don't think it's the same person. This one had been around for a while. I think she is shady and ridiculous, she rubs me Raw.

I judge people who take their babies out in public in footed sleepers. How hard is it to dress your kid? I have never taken either child out in pjs.
I never realized people had an issue with this until I joined the bump. I find the obsession with how babies are dressed to be kind of weird. They are babies. I don't think they have to dress like adults. And I think it makes more sense to emphasize function over form at this age for the sake of your baby's comfort. Sorry but to me judging how babies are dressed is superficial.
I haven't read through the next 4 pages so I'm sure more was said on this, but I totally agree with you @mslaurats. I think it's downright ridiculous to spend a bunch of money on a bunch of 2 piece outfits for my child to roll around on the floor and stuff at daycare and then outgrow said outfit in less than 3 months. If (on the rare occasion) we go to a friends house or out somewhere, I do get her dressed, but more to get use out of the outfits we've been given than because I care at all how people feel about how I've dressed my child. Her footed sleepers are warm and cozy and she spends at least a 1/3 of her day at daycare sleeping...why would I want to put her in a pair of jeans or something for that? When she is walking, I will dress her in pants and a shirt, so that she can comfortably wear shoes to toddle around in. But that makes sense to me. Clothes are for the parents, not for the baby. Baby just wants to be comfortable. Ok...rant over.
Also had to add now that I've read the other pages, since I'd not posted in this thread until just now, I REALLY hope the poster you want to go away isn't me!!! I will be soooooooo sad forever!

Don't you think it's shady and ridiculous to be talking about someone on a thread like this because they don't add anything of value to the board, and then not even saying who you're talking about?
Lmao... Read between the lines .. You will see exactly who she is talking about.
Gah! I don't feel like saying a baby looks like a 10 yr old is necessarily negative and as a matter of fact I repeated several times that he was a very cute baby, he just had a mature looking face! @laurenjeff 10 took it lightly and thats how it was meant!
Some of you ladies need to step off your high horses!!!
Yeah high horse would be thinking your confession of saying you hated someone is somehow not as bad as mine saying a child looks mature.
Did I miss the part where she said she hated someone? Because I'm pretty sure she just said she wished she would leave. And how is saying that somone's baby doesn't look like a cute little baby, but rather has the face of a 5th grader, not offensive??
@LaurenJeff10 You better be careful. When your LO actually IS 10 he will be sneaking into clubs...
No but really, I knew which baby was your's before you even posted the pics because I always found him adorable. I don't see the 10 year old thing at all. I have a friend who has a baby girl and people tell her she has a "little girl face" instead of a baby face. She is a gorgeous baby so I think they just mean she doesn't have the typical big cheeks and pudgy nose that a lot of babies have.
I also loved your response to the comment. Too funny.
@huzzahuzza I do think your comment was a bit more rude than you are trying to play it off. You did say "too old looking for me and it creeps me out"... That IS kind of negative and if you didn't mean it in a negative way, why was it an FFFC? Why not just a general comment on the HDBD thread?
I was also going to point out that Shantxtell never use the word "hate" or even close to that but someone beat me to it.
I've got to be honest. I became 100% uncomfortable with this post the second huzzahuzza called out a baby. I personally wouldn't call out another lady that I don't like because that is just not my style. but I think shank and this mom have had pretty raw comments before so it doesn't come as a surprise. I could give 2 shits about what another mom thinks about me but comment on my child (other than to tell me how beautiful she is of course) and you've joined the cuntcake list. I'm glad LaurenJeff took it lightly because her little one is freaking adorable. I never get involved in the drama because I'm a pansy ass but I felt the need to say something here.
Look, the person Shank is referring to is a proven liar. She should go away. I keep feeling like all her posts everyday is just a front for when she solicits for her business again. Which I have no doubt is eventually coming.

Agreed. They never seem real to me. More like filler until her business is promoted again. Or maybe I'm wrong and they're just boring as hell.
she's not a newbie, that's the thing. Raw/Rpalen tried to swindle people. Shit wasn't cool, and then to come back like " 'sup guys what'd I miss" ? I don't hate anyone, and I usually just ignore her posts, but I can certainly see someone not wanting her as part of their group.
Call people out if you want, let her know you don't want her part of the group if you want. What I thought was pathetic was the way several women go back and forth with I wonder if it's the same one I'm thinking about... Meanwhile, many posters are going "I hope they're not referring to me." It feels a lot like high school, which is why I commented the way I did. But, I am not at all surprised that I'm in the minority here.
ETA: Also when I first posted the response to Shantxtell, I didn't know who she was referring to.
She said she "rubs me Raw." It was even capitalized!!! I saw it right away, hence all my RAW gifs!! And she never said anything about hate. Or singling out. She said "I wish she'd go away." And I agree. She completely violated terms of use by hawking her business, even worse by LYING about it and acting though it wasn't hers, then came back under a NEW name and is posting like nothing ever happened. I have been hoping she'd go away too. I feel like this group is pretty supportive and friendly. And someone who lied to me for profit isn't someone I care to associate with, even online I think it takes away from our group.
As for the 10 year old baby, I thought it was kind of an unspoken understanding that if "you don't have anything nice to say about a baby, don't say anything at all." And, huzza, your tone has changed a lot from "freaked out" to "mature looking."

Yep. Hence, the blog post yesterday. Soon we'll get the blog link, then the webpage...
@annarussell05 you got balls. I like that and wish I had the guts to say something. @shantxtell, I agree with what you said but I hate the passive aggressive non call out. After reading your explanation I agree with it but I originally had annarussells opinion.
Yay I'm not the only mean one anymore! I felt so lonely up on bitch mountain swimming in my tactless pool of jerkdom.
Anyone want my two cents? They're shiney!!! Who am I kidding everything that needs to be said has been said. However I will just add, it confuses me when there are posts saying you guys are mean for calling someone out. Isn't that calling someone out? And when did this board become the united republic of besties? If I annoyed someone (and I'm sure I do) or if I offend someone (that I know I've done) I'd hope someone would say something so that I could learn, grow, open a can of wtf bitch etc. If I wanted everyone to love and praise me all the time I would to hang out on the internet.
Now criticize my baby and I will literally cut you. I'll unleash a shit storm of shank and awe! But then why would you she's so damn cute.
so for me ...the women to women call outs...are not always totally ethical and I don't always agree with them but they give this board a little drama which keeps things entertaining...but calling out a baby....that really bothered me. I am surprised that it didn't bother the mom.
@laurenjeff10 I am really sorry that I hurt you. I really didn't mean it maliciously. I appologized earlier but Shank made it sound sarcastic which was not my intent. I really do think your baby is cute.
I'll return to not posting fffcs now. I clearly have no filter.
@laurenjeff10 I'm very sorry I called your baby mature looking.
This all sounded pretty sarcastic to me.
Can we drop this please? I've appologized several times, I've told her her baby is cute, she's not mad, I've recieved my flaming, and I will now be known as the bitch that calls out babies. What more would you like from me?

@2010bride2be it sounds like it's been a rough journey for you and your family not to mention your Dad. So glad your Dad is responding to the antibiotics. Staying positive and optimistic is so important. Sending lots of positive vibes and thoughts and prayers.

I don't think huzza's comment was meant maliciously.
I love that LaurenJeff reacted as she did. I'd like to think I'd react similarly to a comment about my LO.
It did initially seem un-Shank-like to not say right off who she meant, obvious as it may have been. After the explanation, I get it.
As a general rule, I feel like if you're gonna call someone out, commit and just do it.
