    I honestly and truly don't give a crap what someone thinks of how I feed my kid and whether the wording they use intentionally or unintentionally implies a judgement.  If someone wants to come at me with a direct judgement, bring it :-p

    Flying directly in the face of not giving a shit about THAT, (and this is way more of a FFFC than a UO), I feel intense judgement as a working mother by my SIL who does all she can to avoid daycare for her kids (to her and their detriment).  My nephew is speech delayed and is approaching preschool age.  There's a program that's two days, two hours each and they chose that one over the two day five hour a day option because she feels that's "too long" for him to be there.
    THIS IS MY NEIGHBOR!! Both her kids are within weeks of my kids ages (that was a difficult sentence). And neither are anywhere near as developed as mine. Like, noticeable so...but she has actually said the words that "she cares more about her kids" than I do because she stays home with them...
    The difference in her son and mine (when he was that age) is amazing.  He's never been away from her in any kind of group setting so I tried (in vain) to explain that being dropped off in that kind of environment for ONLY two hours at a time is actually likely to be harder for him because it's a lot of transitions in a short amount of time.  I think he'd do amazingly well in the 5 hour program because he'd get to really settle down and have fun and learn without it being time to leave practically the minute he starts enjoying himself.  He's literally afraid of other children but he finally warms up to my son after a while and they have so much fun together.

    @kelly422 We have the signs, patients don't always observe them. And when they don't? The doctor walks out of the room when they answer their phone in the middle of an exam.

    But that said, we are ALWAYS on time. We do not over schedule or overbook appointments. So if we have the decency to give you our attention and time, on time, please do the same for us. That's how we treat it.
    Most of the time I try to play nice and just ignore it, but maybe I should nicely say something to them when they do things like that. I don't have problems with very many people answering phones - once in awhile they'll answer just to tell the person who is calling that they're at the dr and will call them back.  But the texting is ridiculous!

    We're 8, 9, 10 months in at this point - I side-eye a parent that still hasn't left their baby for more than an hour.  I'm sorry but don't you need "you" time? Isn't it good for your baby to experience other people? 

    While I completely agree with you, the longest I have ever been away from my LO is 2 hours when he was 6 months old to go shooting. Other than that I'm always with him. I would kill for some me time but being away from family and people I trust to watch my kids makes it hard to get out kid free. You better believe when I go visit my family in June though I'm taking advantage it and going to get lots of me time in :)

    Um, FFTC is EBF really no bottles? I always thought it was that baby gets only BM.

    You are correct. It should mean that the baby only gets breastmilk. Ellie was "EBF" but it was 100% from a bottle because she couldn't nurse due to her heart defect.

    I love my Canadian accent but hate that people think I say aboot, I do not say aboot!!! And I think the Newfie accent is kind of our equivalent to the Southern accent and some people don't like the sound of it but I always had a thing for Newfie men!

    @steamboat1679 I could write on and on about my neighbor. She recently told me that they would never spend money the way we do because they value family over material things...this was after we bought a new washer and dryer to replace our existing, 14 year old set (which we sold on craigslist for $500)...she test the limits of my bitch slap reflex on the regular
    Wow. Why on Earth would anyone feel the need to say that? Your bitch slap reflex limit is impressive.

    On the EBF thing I guess I just don't get the assumptions around it. If I say my child is breastfed without the Exclusive would one assume I'm supplementing? Same for Exclusive formula fed. I feel like if people want to expand on what they are, they say they are breastfeeding but supplementing or something like that. But why does anyone need that kind of detail? Also I EBF DS1 and I definitely used that term. I was really proud of it (and it's hard, I totally understand wanting that E and working like hell to keep it). But then I had DS2 and now he gets 2-4 oz of formula a week (a pathetically small amount, which tells you where I'm at with fitting in more time for pumping!) and so that means he's just BF. I was upset at first I had to supplement but now I'm like, what is the flipping difference between BF and EBF when my baby is still getting 28oz a day of breastmilk? It just seems crazy to make that distinction.
    This is kind of an "in retrospect" thing for me because I look back at myself 3 years ago throwing around "exclusively breastfed" and "exclusively cloth diapered" and I kinda want to punch myself.

    Drive by.....

    I am a BFing Momma who only uses the E when discussing with A's doctor and dcp. Or when asked. There are sanctimommies who would continue using the E (some here, some elsewhere) for the sole sake of being showy. I still don't care how people feed their babies if their babies are healthy and growing and the parent is doing what is best for their family. Also EBF/BF should still count if a baby gets bottles of bm whether the mom is EPer or only PTP

    I forgot who said it but thank you for making Northerners look bad. I am of the opinion that TV and Movies over-emphasize everything for dramatic effect, that there are the smart and the stupid EVERYWHERE and of EVERY type. I guess you're actually proof of that!
     (PS. They send newscasters to CT to learn how to talk without an accent, therefore I HA

    Sleep- A goes to "bed" late for a baby, but we follow her cues. We work- and I'm not going to force her down to sleep at a certain time because some chart or whatever says so. We WILL spend time with our daughter during the week- whether it's an hour a day awake or 12. And if that means I have to get up earlier or something, I will.

    To be fair, the title of that thread is "which would you rather receive?"

    In which case, my answer is divorce because I can't handle that shit.

    I'm pretty liberal and open to some kinky stuff but I am not ok with those as my only two options. Fortunately DH isn't either!

    I'm going to go there.... Is period blood blood blood? I thought it was your uterine wall being shed. No? ETA wall is worse than blood
    Well, there is some other stuff there, the stuff that becomes placenta, so I guess organ tissue?

    So blood and beef tartar?

    ETA Plus you know the normal vaginal secretions.

    I always thought giving head was going down on someone, man or woman. Because if not a period BJ is no big deal for me.

    @cl8badb Then why are people so grossed out by giving head? Maybe I need to go back and read again
