There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can't get it. ~Irena Chalmers
My FFFC: I'm almost weened from the pump. I'm only pumping twice a day now for 10 min each. I'm hoping to be down to one pump a day by next week and then be DONE. It's like FREEDOM. BUT, I am in a sick way going to miss it. I've been attached to that thing every three hours when I'm awake, for the past year. It's kinda bittersweet giving it up...

You wouldn't send the cashier at Target for a time out, either. Not a good comparison.
IMO, you shouldn't compare how you treat an adult with how you treat a kid. An adult won't lie on the ground and scream if they don't get what they want. Two different things.

I'm not anti-spanking, and I don't care how people choose to discipline their child so long as they're not abusing them. (Appropriate discipline =/= abuse to me)
However, I am doing my best to not spank.
Like I've said previously, I'm really trying to be a conscious parent - to try to teach lessons and the reasoning behind right and wrong. I make very good use of time outs.
Have I spanked? Yes. Once (I think it was somewhere in November maybe?). It was also a parenting moment I wasn't proud of - It was a perfect storm of terrible two/tiny baby/exhaustion/being overwhelmed, and I lost control of my temper. Not trying to excuse myself. It was a bad moment for me, and, like I said, I'm not proud of it.

Also? Confession?
I think Amanda is pro-spanking. She hits Marnie all the time.
How the heck do you deal with a slap-happy baby? I'm trying to tell her no and gentle hands.... Poor Marnie. When they're playing together, all I can hear is Marnie going, "No! Manda! No hitting! Manda! No hitting! NO! Manda!"
Marnie never hit, so we've never had to deal with this before. I'm trying to discourage it, but it seems to be a result of both frustration and excitement. She slaps if she's mad, and slaps if she's happy. Sigh.

@lizabethann06 thank you for that story. I have this image of you in my head of this perfectly level-headed mom who never has to yell or have those hair-pulling "dear god I just don't know what to do right now" moments (other than maybe at the pool the other day, haha).
It's always a relief when other people share their low moments. It makes me feel like a little less of a failure when I can't hold things completely together 100% of the time.

@lizabethann06 - your post made me think, in my best game show hostess voice, name the spankers. I would love to see your guesses on both sides, missy
I have too terrible a memory for such a game with any success. I remember screen names (well, before the great switch) and I remember stories/posts. Which go together...not so much!
@zoom05 I am 100% sure you're not a complete failure. We are all doing as well as we can. Like I said, it's nice to hear that other moms have their low points, too. I've definitely had my fair share of parenting moments I'm not proud of.
Are you ok? >:D<

DHs mom said she won't be attending LOs birthday party. She then reached into her pocket and pulled out pocket change and said "here, my contribution to his party..". I felt like telling her to shove it.
I have always wanted to be a model or actress ever since I was a small child. I keep telling DH about it because north Idaho college has classes for it and acting agencies. Since having kids, though, I keep trying to tell myself I should focus on more realistic goals. I just really want my name left in history somehow. I have this fear of dying and being forgotten.
