    @trebekastan I did read it increases the risk of jaundice but that is the only bad thing I have read.
    Yeah, I think I've read maybe 2% increase. Still haven't figured out why that would be. Let me know if you get a reason. I just read something saying they are working on studies linking delayed clamping to mental acuity later in life. Something to do with increased iron stores.
    Just a guess here, but extra blood from placenta --> more red blood cells to break down --> more bilirubin than baby's immature liver can break down --> jaundice.
    This was my guess too when I looked up what actually causes jaundice, so I guess the baby would have to already have an immature liver to have the problem in the first place, hence only a 2% increase. Maybe it's those babies that were right on the cusp.

    I think if a parent is at home they should have their child with them. I don't mean that parents shouldn't have a break I mean when it's everyday you leave your child with someone else because your SO doesn't feel they can handle it.

    Example: My friends sil leaves her dd with her mom while she works and her husband is at home because he feels like he can't handle her. It's your kid,you made it, raise it.

    Reminds me of a family I used to nanny for in college. Their two girls were 8 and 10. Their mom didn't work, didn't have any responsibilities outside the home, and had someone clean her house every day. I had her girls every weekday from the time they got home from school until they went to bed. I helped them with homework, made them dinner, played outside with them...meanwhile their mom was at home and ignoring them. It made me so sad because the girls were missing out on quality time with their mom for absolutely no reason. She had the money to pay someone else to do it, so she did.

    It is sad people should be interacting with their children and showing them an example of how parents should act.

    I think it's very important for kids to have socialization and interaction with other kids,etc. I don't think that necessarily has to come from daycare or preschool.

    I only like black ink pens, especially at work. Any other color seems unprofessional, even blue. I have no idea why I feel this way, I just always have.

    I won't write with a pen that isn't black unless it is absolutely unavoidable.

    I'm the opposite.  I only use a blue pen at work.  I often have to write in notes and accounts on printouts and with a blue pen it's easier to tell where I've added things and where the important information is.

    People who name their children based off "most popular names" lists irritate me. Why would you want your child to have the same name as everyone else? Separate, but related, George Foreman annoys the crap out of me because he named all five of his sons George.

    I am calling you all out on the rando labor stories. What ever happened to us shunning people who just show up and tell us about their super special selves? We've had one and you all failed miserably. I see that I'm going to have to be the lone bitch on this one. :(

    I don't think I have a good enough memory to remember who we should be shunning.
    I've never been a grocery list person before this pregnancy brain thing happened... and today I managed to forget items I'd written on the list... that were underlined and starred...

    And there are so many randos anymore I can't remember which ones are random and which ones are just newer people who actually introduced and say things...

    I'm just irrationally rage-y lately and happened to look at post count on a name I didn't recognize and I was like "HeeeEEYYYY". You all can feel free to not be as big a twatwaffle a me.

    It's a pet peeve of mine when women complain about how unhelpful their husbands are, and how they feel like single moms....and they have chosen to have more than one child with said unhelpful man....you knew you were on your own after you had one...you chose to have a second, you knew what was going to happen, don't be surprised that your husband goes out on weekend trips while you stay in with the kids, won't give you a break to shower and suddenly has to poop when you very much need their help.

    I live in Indiana and this week the temperatures have been low 70s. I am so sick of people complaining about how cold they are and that they are breaking out hooded sweatshirts. I just want to say hello do you not remember the last winter we had? Now that was cold! Also it could be triple digits right now, um no thanks.
    Also my feet and ankles are loving this weather. I can actually figure out where my leg ends and my ankle begins.

    Living in NW Ohio, I totally agree. This has been probably the best summer in which to be heavily pregnant during in a looong time!

    I don't want help from anyone except DH after I come home with baby. The thought of my mom coming over everyday to help makes me cringe just thinking about it. Don't get me wrong, for those of you that want the help, I'm happy you have people willing. It's just not for me.

    Same here. I am fairly certain I'll have to give my mother-in-law a limit to how often she's welcome. Like maybe an hour a day, if that. My own mom hasn't said much about helping, which is fine. I've worked in daycare before so all I need is my hubby to care for baby a bit so I can sleep/eat/shower/etc and I'll be good without an army of (annoying) helpers.

    Agreed.

     

    As an extension of name pet peeves, I am extremely tired of older names being classified as "hipster" names. Is it not possible for someone to actually like names like Beatrice, Frances or Harvey because they like them and not because they are trying to "be cool"?

    I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum with this one. STOP GIVING YOUR CHILDREN THESE CRAZY NAMES AND/OR JACKED UP NAME SPELLINGS!! It drives me friggin insane.
