Buying all neutral things - either because you haven't found out the gender/sex or "just in case" you have the opposite gender later

There's no debate in here, apart from the gender/sex (see above)

Did someone say cleaning products? Like those with bleach & ammonia vs vinegar & essential oils.

Ok but some of these are getting really strech-y. Elaborate to make it more baby related

Obviously people who use bleach & ammonia don't love their babies while people who use vinegar & essential oils are using voodoo on their babies.

Neutral vs gender-specific
It ties into gender-rearing your kids but applies to their stuff and factors in possible future children.

Nursing in Public: to cover or not to cover.

Btw, that nurse-in about the radio show... the comments on that FB page made me rage-y. The ignorance is staggering.

FIRST 3 RUNNER-UPS ARE @CARAWASA, @BRANDONTRICIA, AND @JENBALL717

In honor of ELEVENTY, you guys win THE ONE RING! ::cheers::

...AND THE WINNER IS: @SHEDNA!! It's only fitting to find the average number of points, minus our speshuls (eleventy), because LIFE IS AVERAGE AND SO ARE WE. I'm glad we could make a mockery out of all of these judgments because as I said earlier, we're going to get judged everywhere we go so be yah-self! I found the average is approximately 27 points. PRICE IS RIGHT RULES, LOL.

When I saw my name, I was like YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

LC122 · June 2014

Congrats @Shedna‌!
And yeah, like @Weljadraak‌ said about being yourself, this list should really just help people see how many choices there are in parenting. Whichever you decide, stand by your choice and let the haters be your motivators.

LC122 · June 2014

Ooh, just thought of a big one that I don't think was mentioned.
The battle to lose weight post-partum. Or fat-shaming.

Does anybody remember that show that lasted very briefly that was about moms who were mostly all frenemies or tolerated eachother because their husbands were friends? They filmed it in Atlanta. It used to come on after Dance Moms. I can't remember the name of it.
Anyway, one lady on there said that "Everybody wants to be the hot mom" and I think her husband was a personal trainer or something. They just always showed her in the gym.
I'm pretty sure the show got cancelled. There wasn't much substance there - lots of petty bickering and superficiality. Ya know, Classic Reality TV.

LC122 · June 2014

Thought of another one.

Sometimes it is FTM vs STM vs T+TM and other times it is length of time being a mom.

It comes up as "she's been a mom all of 2 seconds but she already knows everything".

Anyway, mom credentials.

Wait, are we done playing?

I was going to suggest- characters on kids clothes.

I wanted to do the one about BFing in public being compared to using the restroom in public.

Also, what age your baby can actually say their first word.
