AW: A Quick Congratulations

juliepenewittjuliepenewitt member
edited February 2014 in July 2014 Moms
I was thinking recently that I soon will have stopped smoking for 3 months (I quit cold turkey once we saw the positive preg test) and I wanted to congratulate those other moms who quit for their babies like I did (whether you slipped up and had a puff every now and then or haven't had a cig since), because even though you've got the best reason in the world to quit, it's still very, very hard. So congrats, Mamas, and I hope you all plan on staying off the cigs after baby is born, because we all want more time to see them grow That is all :) Edit to title, added AW.

    @literachick Yeah, ours was unexpected as well, and I still get cravings now and then, but I think it just may be the need to be doing something with my hands rather the

    @klemck seems like someone likes to start drama. Thanks for trying, though.

    @juliepenewitt, based on the love tits, it looks like a lot of people agree with me. Feel free to GTFO if that's how you really feel.

    @klemck Yeah ok, you're a rock star for all the fake internet points you've got. Why should I take back the congratulations for the other moms who have quit smoking just because I loved a controversial comment? This was not an AW post, and I'm not congratulating myself, so I don't know what you're getting so upset about.

    Not that I have to defend myself to anyone, but I "loved" the part about the snotty women who are out to run people's days. Do I have to like the whole comment to love something? Is that a rule I missed? Does it go on my permanent record?

    Congratulations to all the moms who've managed to quit! I also quit right after finding out (although I was already cutting back because we were trying) and it is a very difficult choice to refuse every one of those cravings. Yay for healthy little nicotine-free babies!

    Most of us were so disgusted by the overall tone of what she had to say that the rest of the message was pretty much lost.

    Listen, you don't have to die on this hill. It was a super fucked up thing for bumblebee to say, which is why I keep saying, "if you really agree with that". If you don't, a simple, "yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't realize at first how insensitive and rude her comment was. I'll go unlove that shit right now" everyone would be cool. Getting defensive about it, however..... that's where you crossed over into post-it territory.

    I don't think everyone here are snotty women, just the ones who are rude to other people for no real reason. I honestly think that most of the women on here are extremely helpful and supportive, and I just wanted to show my support. Just when I see an innocent post like the one that that woman commented on (and I had little idea of what Trisomy 18 was at the time btw) and people being so mean to her makes me feel terrible. Sure, not everyone reads the etiquette rules first, so there's gonna be silly posts like that. But do we really have to be so rude when we tell them that's not how it happens here? I wish I could take back that "love it" because I didn't even remember that I "loved it" before you so kindly pointed it out to me @klemck.

    Well you all are right about her comment being insensitive and rude. I simply just didn't know the T18 issue was so sensitive until I read up on it, and I honestly didn't know that I could "unlove" comments haha. I blame the defensiveness on a combination of this being my first real post and my pregnancy emotions have been set to 11 lately. Sorry about that.

    You can!  Go to the thread and click "love it" again and it'll remove it from your permanent record.  And then you'll be placed on the probationary post-it.
    Probationary post-it. Love it!

    We've had a couple of ladies on this board have their babes diagnosed with T18. It's definitely a sensitive subject.

    I'd also like to add, hurray for another abuse flag on my "permanent record" lol. Yes, @Klv123, I'm looking at you. FFS, the OP didn't even flag me.

    Yes, I realize that now, but unfortunately I don't get to read every post.

    Someone else flagged you? Holy cow.

    I think it's great that anybody here has taken the healthy step to quit smoking.  I can't imagine that it was easy at all, and you are doing a great service to yourself and your baby and the other people breathing around you.  I wish you all continued success!!!

    @juliepenewitt I'm sorry, but did you want support from this group after you loved what princess bumblebee had to say here? Because if you don't care about people's trisomy 18 issues, I couldn't give a flying fuck that you've managed to go three months without a cigarette.
    Oh. no. I'm going to throw up. @princessbumblebeee did not.
