Yep, I know, it's TB and that means that the same stuff gets brought up over and over again. But today I feel like complaining. So what topic(s) do you wish would just go away forever?
The "is this a growth spurt?" questions. Chances are that if LO is acting differently (eating more or sleeping less) and is close in age to the designated growth spurt period then YES! Use common sense.
I know since we are past that stage, it is unlikely to come up here again (please lord no!), but in the case of having more children, I never want to hear my MIL say 'mucous plug' again!
I think baby sleeping threads are a little over done. Oh and I agree with the "is this a growth spurt" threads need to die in a fire of a thousand suns.
Sorry but any talk about pregnancy gets on my nerves right now. I'm enjoying my baby...the one I just had almost 4 months ago. My vag is still recuperating. Knowing someone has a positive test already is a lil much for me!
Edit: except when people are worried about losing a baby. That just makes me sad.
If you don't like a post or its subject don't read it.
sorry @huntjul- not trying to be bitchy to you. I've said this before on all the other threads complaining about what people post. It's just the pattern of internet chat boards. Annoying- yes. I agree with that. But it is what it is.
The teething and drooling posts can stop (not that there have been that many)....but I'm not in your kids mouth nor can I predict when they will get teeth, if the excessive drool means their getting teeth or if all their chewing means teeth are coming.
Any post about work. Not because i think people shouldn't post about it, they should. Just because i am so scared and guilt ridden about returning to work that i can't read anything about it.
And the BF/FF debate.
AND any post that has a topic that has been asked within 3pages or days of the last.
Agree with the how big is baby posts. They are meaningless.
Sweetie you know damn well how you got to the status you are at on here. Besides, you wouldn't want to be friends with me. I didn't try breastfeeding. I CHOSE formula. Yikes!!! So don't worry! You're not missing out. I am a bad bad person!!
Trust me. Your decision to formula feed isn't the reason I wouldn't be friends with you.
Hardly. If you bothered to read or ask, you would have learned that my concern for people who FF is two-fold. 1) I wonder what their story is because I have yet to meet someone who doesn't have one, often very painful and personal to them. And though not every encounter you have with someone is one in which they would share their story, occasionally they do and appreciate the mother-to-mother understanding that comes with it. 2) I haven't met in person anyone who FF because they just didn't know any differently. Not someone that couldn't or had trouble with it, but someone who was afraid or weirded out by it. (I've seen people post on here about friends or relatives like that.) So, while I haven't met that person, I would want to answer any questions they have or share my experience and help normalize it for them. I have met people who grew up in families in which nobody did it and if they hadn't met someone who helped them navigate the whole experience, they wouldn't have tried it.
Exercise posts that make me feel obligated to torture my body for 30 days.
You are kicking my butt at the challenges....lol but you don't have to do it if you don't want to.
@Jalee85
Don't take that personally . I know the end results will be worth it, I just don't wanna. I hate exercise, with a passion. Always have, always will. My body does not seem to release those "Feel good" endorphins people talk about. I've also accepted I don't have the "Eat what you want and never gain " metabolism either.
I should add, I loved playing sports and still love anything that doesn't seem like exercise. I need to be held accountable and have my competitive drive enabled so I can stop complaining and just *do* something about it.
After all as some asshat on here said, I'm hurting my child by being a fat parent.
Re: things i hope no one ever talks about again
Your mom...
On a serious note I was getting frustrated about all the posts on bf for awhile.

#passiveaggressive #goldstarfromkimbo !!!
My problem is that you are an insensitive jackass. Yes, I bf. But my kid will be well rounded since we are doing play dates with my friends who ff.
