I have another one. I rely way too heavily on auto correct and don't proof what I post at all. It's making me look like a maroon. (Like when I mean to post conscious and and my phone posts conscience).
I have been letting CJ eat in the car for months. I think the part that needs flaming is I never considered it wrong.
I wasn't meaning to flame anyone with my UO yesterday, I just read a sad story that changed how I viewed it.
Also, I hope if people saw the genital pics on IG they said something at the time rather than waiting until now to say something.
I said something, and she removed it. But not after several S12ers liked it without saying anything. Outrageous. Totally fucking outrageous.
There's been more than one though, right? IIRC. Not that I count baby penii.
Yes. I'm going to sound like a creepy fucking creeper, but whatever. I have a ridiculous memory for stupid shit. There was a video with full penis in the bathtub, and a picture playing with legos (that was hashtagged #babypenis #sorrynotsorry and something else) where his penis was in full view. I know for sure the legos picture was removed almost immediately after I commented, and I can't recall about the video.
Posting pictures on the internet of your child's penis is not legal. Just a public service announcement. The internet, and intimate home photography, has changed a lot since we were kids. Yes, my parents have a few pictures of Baby Anita in the nude. Right or wrong? Not sure.
Personally, I don't think showing butt cheeks is bad, but again, context is important. I would never show pictures of Jack's butt and hashtag something inappropriate with it. But naked Jack playing outside in the sprinkler? I'm not as concerned about something like that. But penis or vagina is just not ok to post. Ever.

No snark AT ALL here because I agree with your rulings. If you're on the FB page will you watch my video from HDBD and tell me if there is inappropriate nudity, IYO? DD is in the background with her shirt off and I debated forever on whether or not to post the video. I went with it because she's blurry and it's not a lot of her.
To play devil's advocate, is it okay then to take a picture of your kiddo naked on your smartphone? How about to get those pictures printed at CVS? Where should that line be?
Some stores will refuse to print photos containing nudity.

I thought she did it on purpose? My dad and brother often say maroon instead of moron to be funny.
ETA: I agree that it will be much funnier (more funny?) if this was an autocorrect fail.
@cherrycrepe I haven't come out on FB. I'm 16 weeks. I'm just not compelled to yet. I'm thinking I might be more excited to in a few weeks when we find out baby's sex.
I think it's a bad idea to post genital pictures anywhere. Anywhere. (But I don't see anything that actually makes it look like she was attempting to sexualize her kid, FTR.)
ETA: I would also be WAY too terrified to ever take any naked selfies. I'm always baffled by public figures who get caught. Brett Favre - yuck.
I don't really know how to play with my kid right now. I try to read to him, play Duplo, play with Little People, but he just runs around like a crazy person. I hardly get to see him so I want to spend quality time with him but he seems more content to run around on his own.
Leo likes to just run around so we play fetch a lot.
I like to have my kids named when I find out their sex so I can "stake claim" on the name (by posting it on social media, which is pretty much as official as a birth certificate).
There are a ton of people I know IRL (including lots of family) that are PG and my biggest fear is that my name will get taken before I make it public.
I really hope this is referring to me 'cuz, yanno, I'm a TOTAL STRANGER over here.
Can't see the pic but I wish I could.
It's the bat signal because cruel only shows up to participate when shit is going down. You know, when it's got nothing to do with her, but she feels the need to inject her opinion into the conversation.

Not one person has said they are "cool with" posting naked photos of their kid online.
See, I would think the person who posted a picture of their child's penis and then said "sorry not sorry" was cool with it. Yeah maybe? I have no clue. I'm guessing she's lurking and not saying anything.
My point is, no one is defending her actions. The only thing I've seen anyone say is they don't think she was intentionally sexualizing her kid. Dumb move? For SURE! I'm hoping she just didn't think it through.
FFFC: I never "came out" on FB. I don't really get it.
I didn't either. Didn't seem necessary.
We didn't with Nancy either, however in my Dad's obit it said something like "new grandbaby" or something to that effect and people put it together since my siblings are all in their 40s. Not that you can't have kids in your 40s, but it was more likely that it was me. :-) This time around DH wants to and I think it's stupid.

Please tell me, person who I have no idea who you are, how someone else's kid's penis has anything to do with ANY of the people on this board?
You'd probably know a lot more people on this board if you were actually part of it.

Yeah, and I mean, I understand how biology works. But it took us nearly a year for Jack. We didn't expect this to happen. Obviously, we are idiots if we didn't really expect it, because unprotected sex might mean you get pregnant. But we tried with charting, temping, my husband was on meds to fix his sperm in order to make Jack. Deep down, I know I had a hunch (I told a few of my IRL S12ers) that I would get pregnant, but honestly, it just happened quickly. I know there will be opinions on 2U2 (they will be about 23 months apart) and I just don't have the backbone to be myself about it because even I am still spinning from the positive test.
You might be pleasantly surprised by the feedback. I had the same thing with it taking a while for Hannah and a m/c and was worried we'd have the same long process for #2. But one night of unprotected sex later, here I am. Everyone we've told (and now that I am out on FB) has been really excited for us. I guess they just assumed Hannah wasn't going to be an only child and 22 months apart isn't a super short age gap in our group of friends. We've had nothing but excitement and encouragement from friends. SIL asked if it was planned but it wasn't in a creepy way... just came up in conversation.
This was my experience too. We have lots of friends and family with 2u2 though so it is pretty normal. People were asking us when we were going to try again at James' first birthday and my close friends all knew we were trying. We still waited until 16 weeks to announce on FB and I didn't tell work until 13 weeks.
While I am SO thankful for DH's new job, I'm slightly annoyed. It seems he is now in some type of corporate boys club. He made a small, good, but not brilliant suggestion about something and they have been praising him for days over it. I saved someone's life at 4 am two days ago and didn't get a bit of recognition. I think I might be jealous.
I'm sorry that nobody recognized that. That is freaking cool and you rock!!! Thank you for your work.

Not a looney tunes fan I take it Not an auto correct, just another word for an idiot.
I was shocked to see people like that picture. I didn't realize it was taken down by her. I reported it as child pornography. #sorrynotsorry
I think it would have done more good to comment/PM/or talk to her about it.....if you were concerned enough to report it. This is the second time this week I've been, er, surprised (that's a decently nice word, yes?) by an S12er.
And do I really have to put a fucking disclaimer that I am not defending baby peen pics? <--there it is
When I was 7 or 8 I went through a period of time where I stole things. A lot.
Me too, when I was in 6th grade. And I cheated in school. I'm still kind of proud of how smart one of my methods was. I think the teacher was infuriated but impressed.

Totally ironic.... I sense a little Alanis coming on!

I'm just wondering how many of us saw the picture, and how many have heard word of mouth- thus proving @cheeseandrice's and @cherrycrepes points. Let's just all agree it was fawking stupid, and remember to cover out kids up.
I know several S12ers liked the picture, but the only name I remember from it is holly.
Bahahaha of course. I'm not surprised. Maybe it's less creepy since I have met Harrison IRL and think he is an adorable little guy? Tbh I scroll through my feed and "like" pretty much every picture. That TBT someone posted of their friend and BFF that I have nofackingclue who it is, I prob liked it. You're h blowing out his birthday candles? Prob liked that one too even though it is completely irrelevant to my interactions with you. People who don't even participate on the board regularly but that I follow on ig, I like their pics too. Disclaimer: general "you" not you in particular since I don't even think we follow each other on ig.
I'll admit I told Cruel that there was some defending of posting baby penis, saying that the poster of the peen "didn't think" and I thought it was outrageous.
But please, those of you in glass houses, stop throwing stones. FFS. It was free to roam on the internet, last I knew, and Cruel isn't a stranger on this board.
You honestly thought I and others were defending what she did? Honestly?

Honestly? This is fawking bullshit. We ALL have a habit of talking about things that happen on TB. True, CS only shows up when shit is going down, but whatever. Just because you think you know something about a group of friends doesn't mean you do. Ex: I thought I KNEW @LoisLayn23 told so and so about so and so and so forth, but I was WRONG. Quit assuming/pretending you know who is flashing a bat signal and who isn't. There is no crime in being part of an OB, emailing each other, or PM'ing each other. If you have a score to settle with someone, do it and move on. I have learned that being petty makes you look bad- no one else.
I never accused LL of flashing the bat signal.

I do not follow you. But your IG name is the same as your TB name, and it's one I remember so I mentioned you. And the only reason it stuck out to me is because YOU LIKED A PHOTO OF SOMEONE'S BABY'S PENIS ON THE INTERNET. And I don't care who the F you are, that's disgusting.
I like lots of pics on the internet, but I am always 100% aware of the content before I double click to like it.
I liked a picture of my friends child on ig. A picture that he was doing something cute in and happened to be naked. It wasn't a screenshot of his junk jfc.

Only to here. I don't keep naked pics of my kids on my smartphone. I don't take full naked pics of them ever. I have very little trust in the privacy of my phone. The rare occasion that I take a few bath pics, I immediately delete if anything got in. I think everyone has their own comfortable level with their smartphone but no one should be comfortable posting toddler penis on the internet.
Thought I would toss in this potential UO since people are starting to potty train. I do not need to see pictures of your kids on the toilet. Thank you.
It feels like we need either a really good bitch out or a really good love fest, the last week has been insanely tense and there have been a ton of things that have just gone on and on and on....
Which is it? Do we need to have a poll? I kid, I kid!
