I had bad insomnia last night so I was reading over some threads...and there was one particular poster who in two different discussions called us (the group) rude. I'm dying to call it out so I can watch her get flamed.
Ooh, in this case I have no clue who it is since the last couple of weeks have been super busy at work. Any hints or is that against the rules?
I hope not against rules! They are both still on the 1st page. One of them was started by the poster in question and the other she was being a white knight on someone else's post. I commented on both of them
I'm going to the doctor on July 24th for my glucose test and to make sure I'm ok to fly home for my dad's wedding on the 31st (I'll be pushing 29 weeks). When I told my dad this, his response was "Ok to fly??? You better be ok to fly or I'm going to have to call that doctor." Could you be anymore selfish, Dad?
My confession is that I am seriously considering telling him she says I can't fly just to piss him off.
What exactly does your dad think calling the doctor will do?
1. I read the June14 birth announcements yesterday and was equally excited and terrified as to what's to come in Oct. But I can't stop reading them! lol
2. For the life of me I can't figure out what tl:dr stands for. I get what it's for I just can't figure out what the acronym stands for.
Another one- There is a mouse in my house. Apparently he was under my recliner. I only figured this out when one of my cats ran underneath the foot rest and went apeshit. The cat took him down the hall and I am going to sit here and pretend I saw nothing. FI can pick up the mouse carcass when he comes in for lunch. YUCK

I know this was discussed yesterday in UO, but your post compels me to say it again. I'm shocked by the lack of flames on this board, especially when they are warranted. I end up biting my tongue/muting my bitchiness in many instances because, for the most part, this board seems to fall more on the opposite side of the spectrum and I get concerned that I'll end up being flamed.
------------------------ I know what you mean. I bite my tongue constantly and I have also gotten flamed when holding back even.
I consider myself a newb to TB and it took a bit of growing pains to "get" how it works here. I guess to someone really new it could come off as cyber bullying, but it's not really the same thing. Just don't be dumb and we're good. 5Gs baby.

I'd still consider it cyber bullying, whether you're skin is tough enough for it or not. I'm a new member to this site, but I've lurked here plenty in the past, and the snarky comments still take me aback from time to time.

I completely disagree. There is never name calling or threats. Being sarcastic isn't a crime. SMH.

Honesty is not cyberbullying. Disagreeing is not cyberbullying. I do not bully my friends or colleagues by simply disagreeing with them or calling them out on their BS. Sarcasm is also not cyberbullying. Snark.is.not.cyberbullying. Often, on TB the newbs who start screaming they are victims of cyberbulling by board members are the ones who lash out with name calling and direct insults. It's quite ironic and fun to watch the pot/kettle relationship evolve.

Sure did. But again, my opinion doesn't require scientific proof.
I got plenty of snark for that opinion, and have yet to cry that i'm being bullied. And while honesty/snark/sarcasm aren't "bullying" I think delivery has a big impact on things..
Confession... I am REALLY upset that my MIL took my 1 year old daughter to a 3D movie they were showing at the zoo! Luckily my daughter got scared by the surround sound and so they left pretty swiftly BUT... MIL takes care of her everyday and she knows about our NO SCREEN TIME rule! If you were taking care of a child and her parents told you no TV... wouldn't you have the understanding that this meant no movies as well? Especially a 3D movie? Am I over reacting? Well if I am the good news is I didn't say anything to my MIL. I waited until the next day and asked DH to talk to her about it.... UGH!!!
I do think you are overreacting. How old is dd? I can't see, I'm on mobile. No tv, day in and day out would be hard to do. Do you pay MI to watch her? I know I would be hard pressed to find a daycare that does 0 screen time. Maybe I'm too relaxed. I understand limiting it, but once in a while tv won't hurt anything.

Seriously? I feel like most daycares are 0 screen time, or maybe every once in a while screen time. DD's current day care sends home permission slips when they're planning a movie day.

I think she just meant that it's an OPINION, she's not actively trying to convince anyone else of the validity of her beliefs, so no scientific proof is required to support her ridiculousness.

ETA - Qoute fail. @SusieBW Just curious...but what happens if a parent doesn't sign the permission slip? Do they have a seperate activity for them? Or just lock them outside for 2 hours? (J/k!)

I found it too and yes that is annoying. 1) I didn't have a bunch of drama in high school 2) I haven't been in high school in a long ass time so I couldn't remember it if I wanted too.
No body was rude in those threads imo...whateves. There are a bunch of people in the world that love to play the victim.

I wondered the same thing! I have no idea what they would do. I guess they would have to come up with something.
I think that its ridiculous that my brother and SIL expect my mom to drive 8 hours every time one of their kids has a birthday (they have 4). She was just there a month ago, and she's going for 4th of July. They're guilt tripping her because she mailed my niece's gift, telling her that my niece was sad because grandma wouldn't be there and blah blah blah. Esp since they never make the drive to see my parents, just expect them to do all the driving. Ugh, annoying!
My confession - I love this baby and my pregnancy was planned but I am starting to dread October a little bit. We have finally gotten into a good routine with DS1 - he STTN consistently (he only started doing this two months ago and I had forgotten how nice it was to consistently sleep all night) and DH and I have a good partnership routine with him when we take him out in public, feed him dinner, get him ready for bed etc. Plus, we don't mind leaving him with my in-laws once or twice a week so that we can go out for dinner by ourselves, watch a movie etc.
All this will change with DS2 - our routines will be disrupted, I will have to start waking up every night to feed him and we will probably leave the babies with my in-laws a lot less because it is much harder to take care of two babies rather than one. I know that eventually we will develop new routines and adjust to the new "normal" but I am not looking forward to the transition period.
I feel you, I really do. For me though, I'm more excited than anything else. I love DS so much and I can't wait to have another kid to love that much too. It's going to take some getting used to and routines will be disrupted but I'm very much looking forward to another kid.
Having two is pretty fucking awesome!!
I know how you feel though, @ss265. Right now we have a nice schedule, and I'm comfortable taking both kids out on my own.. Plus everyone sleeps ALL night long! Number 3 will definitely change things but I'm so excited! Having more kids than hands is kind of scaring me though.

My FFFC is that while I love them my family is driving me crazy right now!
I can't flame anyone for this, our family drove DH and I so crazy that we spontaneously moved out of the state for 2 years. We came back because we missed everyone and have since been very seriously contemplating leaving again after this baby is born.
I think that its ridiculous that my brother and SIL expect my mom to drive 8 hours every time one of their kids has a birthday (they have 4). She was just there a month ago, and she's going for 4th of July.

Esp since they never make the drive to see my parents, just expect them to do all the driving. Ugh, annoying!
That is ridic. My family does that to me. My dad has three kids that live in the same town and he never comes down to visit us. We always have to go visit him (where there is not adequate sleeping arrangements for that many people). His step-son is moving to our town this summer and maybe he will come more then. Because with a new baby I can guarantee that my driving three plus hours will be reduced.

My FFFC... DH and I have been together for 8 1/2 years. When we first got together I was 17, in high school, and going through my party phase. Part of this phase unfortunately included not being faithful (something only made easier by our long distance relationship at the time).
I am a very forgiving person (with everyone) and DH is not. It very rarely happens, but he sometimes treats me like he still doesn't trust me and I think it's about damn time that he gets over it. I was 17! It was almost a decade ago!
Side notes: I'm not going to get into any of DHs mis-doings, because I don't think cheating is something you can "call it even" over and so this only concerns what I did in my past - not his. Also, I am obviously not cheating currently and haven't since the time I'm referring to above. I'm ashamed of what I did, but there is nothing I can do to change the past - just be a better person now.

Yes, you are. She didn't mean any harm. And it WON'T cause harm but hey, it's your kid
I get what you're saying ... She didn't mean any harm BUT she out right defied the rules we have asked her to abide by with our child... someone posted somewhere about being upset that their in laws were posting pics of their child on FB after being asked not to...I'm sure those people didn't mean any harm either they just wanted to post a cute pic but it's the principle of the matter...if I ask you not to feed my daughter certain foods I would hope you wouldn't do it, even if to you ice cream is not causing any harm...it's just being respectful of a parents' wishes.

EDIT: Sorry can't figure out the quote boxes today...
I knew throwing the term cyber bullying would end up being taken seriously. It's really not cyber bullying. That is a far more serious issue and one I am sure everyone, especially us meanies, would take action to prevent.
@wildflower75 I actually totally get where you are coming from and the sitter asks me a couple times a week if she can give DS juice, even watered down and I keep saying no. There are certain things I have specifically told the sitter AND my mom NOT to do, even if it makes me sound neurotic and I would actually be upset/irritated if they went against that.
To me, a grandparents #1 job is to spoil their grandkids so even though my mom does shit that bugs me, I try not to give her grief for it because she loves my son so much and just wants him to have a good time!
That's a sweet way to think of it!! And what is it about people wanting to give babies juice??? My MIL has repeatedly asked us about this as well! Umm no... and like I said last week... no...! But you're right... in the end it's not like they're doing harm to their grandkids... oh well Hey I just noticed your DS was born almost exactly 1 yr before my DD! She's 3/8/13 ! VIRTUAL PLAYDATE!
