    I also have another one that may get a rise out of some: I judge people who give up breastfeeding before they seek free help from a lactation consultant. And I mean those who give up in the first month.

    I agree @aimeefarrahfowler, it's nobody's business how anyone feeds their child!

    I love dogs and cats! I have two cats, brothers named Sam and Dean. Yesterday Sam was licking LO's head and then today he smacked her hand :) already fighting like siblings!

    I couldn't wait for the PP hair-shedding to begin so my overly thick hair could look civilized again. Now that it's finally here, there's a part of me that does the happy dance every time I clean my brush out.

    Um....I met with a few different LCs and they were all terrible. Did absolutely NOTHING except tell me that the toe curling pain was normal. 

    I'm proud of myself for not giving up and that I'm still EBF but just saying - not all LCs are helpful. If I wasn't so determined to EBF the LCs I dealt with would have made me give it up.

    My UO - I can't stand cats. I don't like how people let them up on their counters and tables and wherever else their furry butts feel like going. They scratch in a box filled with shit and then go on kitchen counters - it's nasty. Nor do I like outdoor cats that leave dead critters at the door. 

    Although I think the previous owners may have abandoned their cats. I have two cats now that come and paw at the door every night to come in. I feel bad for them, but no way in hell am I going to let them in or feed them. I just want them to go away.

    OMG! I dated a guy who didn't tell me he lived alone with a cat until we had been dating for 3 weeks. I thought that was weird, but I broke up with him by week 4 because I discovered that he was indeed a total creep! Never dated a single guy with a cat again!

    I'm no longer speaking to my MIL and FIL. They are selfish and narcissistic and think a check makes up for not visiting their son in the hospital when he is very sick and it's only a 1 1/2 hr drive.

    I think "if you can't pronounce it, you shouldn't eat it" is probably the most ignorant claim the health food industry has ever come up with.

    Ummm I guess this is an unpopular opinion? I doubt anyone here has an opinion on your inlaws but it's really more of a FFC. :)

    I wanted to BF and tried to produce milk so hard but due to a breast reduction when i was 18 (for medical reasons) i was unable to get even a drop. I have to FF not by choice and its hard snd expensive. But it is easier for family to help feed babe, which is a nice break sometimes. But i wouldnt judge anyone for their feeding choice. As long a baby is healthy is what counts.

    I never said anything about people who have medical issues. Of course every case is different. Ive worked hard to breastfeed. I've went to the le leche league so many times I've lost count. It's free. I will stick to my original UO. I do judge when people tell me it hurt to bad and was hard so they quit without even looking for help.
    If you don't want to breastfeed, I don't judge. Who cares if you give your kid formula. Just don't tell me it was to hard and you tried everything when you didn't.
    I didn't say my UO was right. I know it's not right that I judge. But I do. You wanted a UO, I had one.

    I can NOT stop watching this GIF. So much love.

    Also, you can add me to the "couldn't care less how you feed your baby as long as you're feeding your baby" camp.

    @susanoutloud‌ if you sought help from a lactation consultant then my statement wouldn't apply to you.

    I live in California and they have all sorts of free services for breastfeeding mothers.

    Id send some of my flames your way but I'm at work mobile bumping while I'm pumping.

    Is it even human to dislike bacon?

    For some it does hurt too bad. Everyone has different thresholds for pain. There isn't a LLL close to me. You say you've worked hard to BF but I'm willing to bet you haven't. Those who have struggled truly understand how emotional it can be when you quit. And some use the excuse of not being able to because they feel the need to justify their choice the judge mental people like you.

You wanted a UO, I had one.
    That's like judging everyone who got an epidural because it hurt too much and they couldn't handle it.  It doesn't hurt their baby and it doesn't hurt you.  Plus you have ZERO idea how their experience felt for them.  There is no Mommy Martyr Olympics.  You don't get to stand on the podium and be applauded for lasting longer than someone else did.
    I couldn't have said it better myself. I breastfed with zero problems. Go me right? Sike, No one gives a shit. I quit because I needed/wanted to be on medication for mental health issues. I don't care or even ask if someone FF or BF because I DON'T care... and no one else does either... but I notice a lot of moms, mostly in FB groups, who lie to brag like they deserve a medal or something. I personally didn't even enjoy breastfeeding. It was so time consuming and I felt like all I did was BF. I had to take breaks rounding to about 2 hours if I went anywhere just to sit down a bf. I was always worrying about when and where I could do it in public. Pain in my ass.

    Sorry, off topic and I guess another UO

    It's a BOY

    I'll just add I don't want a medal nor do I feel I deserve one. I don't think your a better mom for doing one over the other and I did not imply that. I simply said if you come to me and say you quit breastfeeding because it was too hard Or hurt too bad and try to tell me you tried everything. I'm going to judge you. I have had mastitis 2 times. I still have latching problems and I see a lactation consultant once a month. I've had issues. It hasn't been easy actually. But thank you for knowing my history for me @pistolpackinmomma‌.

    Also I have had to give Chloe formula. I don't claim to be martyr and HATE when people tell me it must have just been easy for me. It hasn't at all. Don't downplay the struggles of a BF mom either. I know a lot of women that have successfully bf. I can only think of one who said it was easy. It is hard. And if you claim to me that you wanted to soo bad but it was just too painful and hurt too bad but never sought the LLL then I'll judge.

    @Nikkidoll15‌ the thing is, it's not really fair to judge someone for quitting only if they didn't struggle. I may not have "struggled" by your definition of the word, but I know myself and I knew that the stress of things not going well would be too much. I found a better option for me - exclusively pumping. I might have wanted it, but I also wanted to lessen the stress. I just don't think that I should be judged for not "trying" hard enough. I tried hard by my own definition of the word so it shouldn't bother anyone else.

    @Nikkidoll15‌ no problem. I don't know how you can sit here and say that you judge anyone for quitting after going through those issues. Why do you even care. I suppose if I wanted to. E as petty as you I could judge you for giving any formula at all. But honestly, I don't care how your kid is fed. Just that you do feed the kid in some way.

    I didn't judge anyone on feeding before I had a child. I still don't judge their choice but I had to really struggle to make it work. Now that I am "surviving" breastfeeding, I do get a little jealous when some moms choose formula or have to do formula for medical reasons and their babies are sleeping through the night, mom is free to work out and have someone bottle feed, boobs aren't huge and heavy, and they look well rested and aren't trying to kill their spouses for not helping in the middle of the night, and they don't have sore nipples from pumping at work all day, etc... I know I could quit anytime, but I just can't quite do it in good conscious because I am capable of doing it and feel it's what I should do. But even if I FF, my little four month cutie would probably still be up all night and I am.So.Tired. So I guess I'm not judging. But I'm jealous. Flame away.

    Totally agree, just had this convo with a friend last week.

    I don't think circumcision is self mutilation and I don't think it is a form of sexual abuse either. And yes, an anti-circ advocate tried to tell me it was on FB


    Well obvs infant circumcision isn't self-mutilation. The baby has no say in whether their genital tissue is excised. You're reacting to the views of a pretty fringe element, and I say this as the parent of a boy who is not circumcised.
