They let you know they're ready, and then you set it up for them to eat safely.
Yeah it's probably not the best thing for him to sleep in the mamaroo, but if that's the only way he's going to sleep more than an hour at a time I'm going to do it.
No, I probably shouldn't be nursing him or rocking him to sleep every night, but if that's what he needs to go to sleep, I'm going to do that too! He's my kid, I'll do what I want!
So, my UO is I'm tired of everyone's opinion on what to do with my child!!
(I'm not talking about M'14. Just ppl I know IRL) that's probably not very unpopular.
I don't feel like registering for items your child will not need/use until they are over a year old is appropriate. Especially when you have hundreds and hundreds of items already on your registry.
And the "obviously she needs something" comments... Yeah every time I pick her up she starts cooing and blowing raspberries. So she "needs" to play? At midnight? 3 am? I should play with her all night? Because she thinks thats what she needs? No.
I really hope that didn't come out too harsh but people need to realize maybe there are people who want to rock/nurse to sleep but their baby just doesn't stay asleep when they put them down. No matter what. And if that was the case for them then maybe they'd be trying other things too.

My nephew and his wife went to Mexico for a few days. Their LO was born March 3rd! I couldn't imagine being out of the country just to be on vacation, especially with your first baby!
Levi has had one overnighter, about two weeks ago. I'm up for more! Hope you have fun at the wedding! Being an adult couple doing adult activities is imperative for a healthy marriage in my opinion, we don't very often so given the once every? two -four months you bet we'll take advantage!
Me: 28 DH: 27
There has to be a flat and fitted sheet.
My comforter/blanket/duvet doesn't get washed very often unless its a seasonal change or LO spit up/pooped on it or its attracted too much cat hair.
The sheets get washed/changed much more frequently. I don't want to sleep in a bed with a sweaty dirty comforter for months on end.
(Slight exaggeration)
DH is in total agreement.
I rocked DD to sleep until around 11 months.
DS1 started to snuggle with daddy around 9 months then around 11 months he just wanted to go to bed.
LO is still going to bed nicely after nursing, so I'm not changing it until I have to, or until he shows signs of not needing it anymore.
My point exactly!! I don't know what TTGP is!! Lol
It's summer. Electricity is expensive so although we do run the A/C we don't keep it super cold. We frequently just use a sheet.
Didn't realize I would be one of the moms that won't spend a night away from LO for a long time but I am.
I don't care about what's on my bed just as long as I can sleep.
As far as baby sleep Ect- I don't care what anyone else does _ it doesn't affect how I should parent my child. Every child is different and every patent is different. As my pedi said. If someone had the right answers we'd all have babies that slept through the night and were never fussy. Obviously that's not happening which means there is no one right answer
I just don't agree that kids can get all of that from their parent(s) homeschooling. Even if they can, a parent/child relationship is different from a teacher/student relationship. Even if a parent disciplines a child for misbehaving or not doing their homework, it may not have the same impact as they would in school. Not sure I am wording that correctly, but I don't think it would prepare them well enough for dealing with a boss in the future.
I was a very shy child growing up, but I faced challenges one at a time as I grew.. I can't imagine being homeschooled my whole life and then having to go out into the real world and facing all of those challenges at the same time. I'm not sure what is the motivating factor for parents to choose to homeschool their children, but I would guess bullying is a popular reason. I don't condone bullying, I don't necessarily think kids should have to go through it as a rite of passage, but it is a fact of life and bullying will always exist to some extent no matter how many campaigns are out there to end it. My old boss was in her 50's and she was a huge bully, as was a woman in my department. And mob mentality exists into adulthood too...I worked with some very nice people who would never do these things on their own, but around these other bullies, they would join in.....it was like bully or be bullied.
I will never say being bullied was good for me as a child, but it taught me how to stand up for myself, and not to let them win. I am sure it is a very big reason this woman didn't get to me at work because I wouldn't let her intimidate me.
