I think banned members (especially regs) should be given 24 hours to be able to PM. No posting on threads, but PM other members so that they can at least give Bump friends some other method they can stay in touch.

I'm not sure I'm going to breastfeed. I understand the benefits to both of us, and even with my office having a dedicated room for nursing/pumping mothers... after reading about some of why other women had to give it up, I'm not sure its for me.

I can't stand the idea of my child being "raised" and getting their crucial learning from someone other than DH and I. There's no feasible way I could be a SAHM (unless DH gets a fat promotion), but I struggle with the idea of someone else being the first to experience something from MY CHILD. And I have this somewhat irrational fear that the child is going to become attached/bonded to that other person/those other people and not be as attached/bonded to DH and I if it spends the time we're at work in daycare or in the care of someone else.

Even though I'm a FTM... I'm not getting into pregnancy journals, blogs, weekly photos, etc. I just want to pop out a happy healthy kid in May. End of story.

I wash all our clothes together- whites, darks, delicates, jeans, etc. Separate loads????

I'm still in love with @JerseyAKL‌. :-)

There is so many unicorn farts and rainbows being blown up people asses on this board it makes me want to vomit sometimes. I don't even have morning sickness either.

@pintobean39 Is THAT what I feel in my ass? I thought I was constipated.

I'm apparently nosy to a fault... who?? and WHY?? For what?? I. MUST. KNOW. whewph. just had to get that off my chest.

Oh, I have another. I am superstitious as all hell. As in, I wont take the "My Chart" link out of my siggy because it's been in there all along and so far, so good. I'm an educated person, I have a medical degree, but I'm afraid to change my siggy on a message board!!?? I know, I need a good slap.

Just curious... Why? I am all about you deciding how to feed your own baby, but I'm honestly curious what reasons caused you to not want to?

I think a lot of it just has to do with inexperience and having the tendency to become easily frustrated. And there is just something about the physical act itself. I know loads of women praise how it makes them feel more bonded with their child and it develops a different kind of attachment, but I'm still working through the thought of having an infant latched on to one of my boobs. My mom breastfed all of us, but because we were raised on WIC she took advantage of the formula and supplemented when she couldn't feed in person or pump. I don't want to deprive my child of all of the wonderful benefits obtained from breast milk, but just worry about not being able to do it, produce enough, etc. Plus, I'm not a big fan of 3rd party intervention... ie a lactation coach or consultant. I'm still struggling with the idea of all of the classes that everyone recommends taking if you are a FTM. I trust nature more than anything, and figure if the earth was populated for thousands of years without the assistance of science, why is it so necessary now? I think a lot of it stems from this ridiculous thread I read on another forum where someone posed the question of "if you aren't going to BF, post your reasons because I'm curious". A lot of the responses were well received and informative, and I read a lot of women in similar work/life situations as me and wondered if I'm going to end up in the same boat (inability to pump so production drops, latching issues, privacy issues, etc).

Sorry for the long response and if I offended anyone.

chetasu · October 2014

Mine is that I don't understand the phrase (or the variation of the phrase) "I didn't Google it, I did my research."

First off, if you have a concern, the first person you should think of contacting is your doctor or nurse. They're the ones with the medical background and they're there to answer your questions/concerns. I realize that we all get curious though.

For example, I spent the good part of a day reading about the flu shot for pregnant women, pros and cons. I'd already gotten my shot because my doctor said I should, but I wanted to know what reason people gave for not doing it (call me curious). And I Googled it. Why? Because Google is a search engine that will bring up links to places where you can do your research. Such as the CDC website, What to Expect When You're Expecting, medicals journals, etc. The other day at the grocery store I used my phone to Google if the fish on sale contained mercury. I'm sorry, but I call that research.

So, are you opposed to children attending school? Do you consider a first grade teacher to be "raising" the students? I'm always fascinated by how daycare is considered having someone else raise your kids but for the vast majority, school isn't.

@pintobean39 , I was going to say that I am only posting that because I knew you'd have my back and protect me when the caffeine-deprived zombies come after me for my UO.

I'm all for being nice and supportive and even entertaining a dumb question every now and then, but I have my limits, dammit.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that this is a pretty tame, puppies-and-rainbows BMB. It's also awfully quiet in general. I wonder if things will liven up a little once we start moving into 2nd tri?

DawnLilly · October 2014

@thisbabysactingfresh‌ scatteredtrees idk why and I don't care to go look. I liked her a lot. I don't know that we were close enough to stay friends in a different format but it definitely made me think of it. I know she was very close with a lot of moms on the SAHM board.

I actually didn't think it would be a well received opinion because they could potentially bash other members or mods to friends on their way out. I don't think most would do that though. At least not until they used another venue to communicate.

Not at all. School is school. But those 5 years prior to that, it is just my preference that LO receives the skills and knowledge to prepare them for it from DH and I. Both my FIL and MIL have masters in early childhood education and I know they are going to be a great resource, but I just have trouble with the thought of my kid learning their colors, shapes, what have you, from other people. I guess it could be chalked up to fear that if they are learning those things early on from others, that it is going to reflect badly upon me as a mother since I wasn't the one to have taught them those things.

Wasn't trying to start an argument or anything, and am by no means discrediting teachers and other educational providers. The things taught in school, in my eyes, are different from what I had intended my post to be about. Those early, early milestones, are more my point.

@shmeell25 I didn't think that at all. I'm willing to try anything and am not going to go into it with the concrete decision not to BF. I will try it, and plan to educate myself as much as possible before hand... I just don't have many people around me to go to for advice and support. Hence the 3rd party involvement that I don't care for. I guess I'm just a very stubborn and strong willed woman who has always felt like I can do everything myself. I KNOW THAT WILL HAVE TO CHANGE AND I WILL NEED HELP FROM OTHERS. I don't need people to tell me that, its a personal thing. We weren't raised to lean on others, if we needed something or something needed to be done, we were expected to do it 100% on our own, for ourselves.

OMG this blew up in my face. I'm sorry ladies. I think to avoid further scolding and negative looks my way for my opinions, I'll actually get some work done today. Not running away, just not in the mood to defend myself when I shouldn't have to.

I understand where you're coming from. I'm a nanny, and while i hate that i see a lot that the parents don't see, there is such a special bond that my charges have with their parents. No one can replace that. I'm with these kids 60 hours a week for the past two years ( they are 3 and 8 months) and they never want me over their parents (Unless they're in trouble)

For what it's worth, many years ago my boss told me these horror stories about what happens to your breasts when you BF, and it scared the shit out of me. My friend only pumps because she says the skin on her breasts was drying up and it hurt a lot. My SIL went through one session at the hospital and said it hurt too much. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. I grew up strong and healthy without being breastfed.

Sarahbmcd · October 2014

FWIW I wasn't breastfed either. I was allergic to my mom's breastmilk. I turned out perfectly fine.

@lovebeingblonde‌ Don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't do (not that these ladies are) You will make the best decision that is right for you and your baby

jil1210 · October 2014

I don't enjoy coffee. But I do support moderation.

I will add that during my first pregnancy, my doctor recommended that I cut out caffeine completely. This time my doctor didn't mention caffeine but suggested switching to organic produce. It can be hard to determine which advice to follow.

I think that sometimes doctors offer advice based on their personal preferences not necessarily studies or research. Maybe that's my UO: when people blindly follow advice because "my doctor says so."

And here's a helpful link from the Mayo Clinic:

there is a lot wrong with this paragraph.

I thought the point of this thread was to share UO's. Not share them, then have everyone tell you that you are wrong or that your opinion isn't "right". My bad if the way I feel and see things is different from you, but it is my right to have those feelings and opinions.

I shouldn't have to apologize for fearing certain things being a FTM, and wanting the early stages of my child's life to go a certain way.

Feel free to elaborate, including your snark, on what was so wrong with MY opinion.

I don't blame you!!! I had to step away yesterday because it was driving me crazy with the puppies and rainbow's. I really hope it gets better, it's horrible.

chetasu · October 2014

I'm going to admit that seeing the same posts over and over can get tiresome. But can't we agree that it's best to leave them unanswered than to try and fuel the flames? If someone gets upset about something there are replies about "this is how the forums work," "this place is mild compared to _____" and "get thicker skin." Wouldn't it just be easier to not say anything? Are we honestly wishing to start arguments for the sake of being less bored? Do we really want to alienate a new mother for being excited about every new thing that's going on? Some women haven't told anyone yet about their pregnancy and this community is their only outlet. I'd rather see a hundred new posts go unanswered than to push someone out.

I guess that's my second UO of the day, and it's not even noon here.

SassyPants150 · October 2014

I hate trendy little children's clothes that are made to look like adult clothes...little kids have plenty of time to grow up. It makes me feel like we are feeding into the "model" look at such a young age that it makes the unrealistic expectations begin early.

That being said...I also hate most "character Ts".

I agree with the bolded. Although I am so thankful to graduate from TTCAL, I miss the board and the wonderful ladies there so much. I'm just having a hard time dealing with all the P&R on this board. The eyerolling is endless. I don't fart rainbows and never will. Feeling like a black sheep.

I miss the snarky. :-<

Well, first, these threads are not just a place to share unpopular opinions and have people say "oh you, that's silly". No. It brings up discussion and discourse over the opinions. If I stated something "unpopular" that was actually insanely offensive, I'd expect responses along the lines of "that's really fucked up".

I never asked you to apologize. You do you. I also never said that you have on right to your own feelings and opinions. You do. I have a right to tell you they are fucked up. If you were secure in them, then you could tell me to fuck off, and that would be that. Instead, you are getting uber defensive with everyone in this thread that questions you about what you said. And while you may not realize it, your "opinion" is seriously offensive to many segments of people. Working Moms, for one.

I kind of shy away from the BTDT shit like having one child all of a sudden makes me the guru on things. It doesn't. But, it does open my eyes to the fact that you are spending time focusing on shit you cannot change and things that aren't even really negative. My kid goes to daycare. He LOVES it there. He's thriving. He looks forward to going and the experience of learning to navigate a social environment with his peers is crucial and invaluable. But I am raising my kid. The daycare teachers are other, critical components in the village that my husband and I have created to raise our kid.

My opinion is that if you try to take all the things involved in raising a child on yourself, you are severely short-changing your child. Just because you birthed him/her and are his/her Mom, does not mean that you are the best person for all the tasks involved in raising your kid.

@Pintobean39‌ I 100% agree. I see so many posts go unflamed or with mild responses where in the past I have been used to full on flamethrowers.

I don't necessarily care for constant flamethrowers, but it would be nice to see everything perk up and be more interesting.

I agree, but I usually end up deleting my flaming posts because I think they come across bitchy instead of snarky. I was a journalism major in college (haven't done a damned thing with it since) you would think I could be better with words.

Oh please don't hold back, put all those years of journalism to good use.

I don't think there's anything wrong with this paragraph. I worked in the infant room in a daycare and it was heartbreaking to be the ones to watch them roll over for the first time or say "mama" for the first time. I think they are completely legitimate fears, and I've had the same thoughts - mostly that the daycare workers can't care for my child the way that I can - which is true and unfair at the same time, and as much as I know first hand about the love and fun that the kiddos experience at daycare, it's still scary. And by school age that fear is gone, they've had all their important firsts and they've already bonded with you; but when they're infants and spending 8 hours a day with someone else, it's sad. If I could be a stay at home mom for the first year I definitely would.

tinalovescauliflower · October 2014

I am a nanny. In no way do I consider myself to be "raising" anyone's children, but I feel super privileged to get to hang out and watch the little ones develop (and encourage them!). When I am a parent myself, I fully intend to include many, many others in childcare- my brilliant scholarly parents, my many artist friends, my many teacher friends, and absolutely a brigade of babysitters and preschool teachers who can enrich my kid's life.

I'm really turned off by the previous poster who is upset by the notion of someone else teaching her child colors. Um, what? The things you need to teach your child: learning is all around you and you should learn. From. Everyone. You. Can.

Don't push your bullshit around here as if it is fact. They are not legitmate fears and you sound delusional.

Huh. "Delusional" seems a little harsh. I think a lot of moms worry about what they might miss when they aren't with their kids.

Tell the daycare not to tell you if they roll over or speak then when it happens at home it can be celebrated as the first time.

This. Exactly this. My little charge just stood in the middle of the room without help for the first time today. Am I gonna tell his dad when he gets home? No. Let them have those "first" experiences (they've told me it is important to them).

This. This is the point I was trying to make.

I took a brief walk to clear my head and take a breath since I felt overwhelmed and emo about my original posts upsetting and apparently offending other ladies on this board.

It was never my intention to offend anyone, or start a shit storm about some personal fears I have. I've tried to answer the questions from others without coming off as being defensive, but didn't accomplish that since this escalated way too quickly.

As a FTM, I am aware that there is a lot of personal changes I am going to have to make, and I have a lot of growing to do. By no means do I want to keep my child from experiencing things or learning from others, and have every intention on involving people that offer learning experiences for my child. I want nothing but the best for this kid, and will want them to learn from everyone and everything they can.

I'm never going to be able to do everything myself, and have no issues with asking for help when the time comes for me to need it. Goes back to growing... I need to work on my inner issues with requesting and receiving assistance from others since it has never been my nature to ask for help or take it. That is all going to have to change, I already know that.

This is probably another defensive post, but likely the last I'm going to make in this thread. I've calmed down and don't feel as attacked as I did before, and am ready to move on... as I'm hopeful the rest can do as well.

ETA: Left out words.

Pintobean39 · October 2014

As a mom that has raised 2 children and put them in daycare I never once felt like I "missed out" on anything when they were babies. I saw their first steps, watched them roll over for the first time, heard their first words. My boys are 21 and 15 and there are still a ton of first going on. First crushes, first dances, taking them to buy their first suits, first break ups, first time to drive ..... The list goes on and on. It doesn't stop in that first year.

I plan on riding my horse until I can't manage to get on any more.

My DH knows better than to question me on this, but everyone else gives me the side eye. Even some horse people.

Shhh nurse, you don't know my horse or my mad skillz.

It annoys me when people don't have the pregnancy tickers! All of the "can anyone relate" posts without tickers and they don't even put what week they are...

I have to stop there before I start ranting, it really frustrates me ha ha!

I know this is completely irrational thinking, but I feel like a pregnancy ticker will jinx me.

Besides, I've noticed a lot of people refering this to as 'an app' so I am assuming most people are mobile and can't see tickers.

But I do agree... If you are asking me to relate, at least let me know how far along you are..
