@WaffleyGoodness‌ hit the nail on the head. "My belly is not a hands on exhibit" will be my response to strangers trying to grab at it lol. Thanks girl!

@pettybetty‌ I have a feeling you're one of those "participation award", no spanking and no points in children's sports kinda people. I may be wrong it's just a guess from your response.

No spanking here it's been studied and proven that it's dangerous so why would I go against science. Do you plan on spanking your child? Maybe after a cigarette. Participation awards? Fuck that. Your earn things in life. I just couldn't imagine being so rude to a stranger, these are people who are wishing you well and excited for you so you can be polite in asking them not to touch you.

Edit spelling

moonseeds92 · February 2015

@pettybetty‌ the lack of spanking is where assholes come from. So when your child misbehaves, do you sit down and have an adult conversation with them? What happens when they don't listen to you? Do you count to three and then do nothing? I think manipulating your child into doing what you want them to do is way more damaging than a smack on the butt.

Have you looked into the damage spanking does to the grey matter of the brain? Do you even science?!

@burlexe‌ what is a belly tassel? :-S afraid to ask what are nipple tassels too.

moonseeds92 · February 2015

Oh yeah of course. Because every baby is born with their brain in their ass until they're 10. Then it migrates. Everyone knows this, it's a fact of life. I was spanked and I have a 142 IQ. My husband was too. Granted we were only swatted a handful of times and for very good reasons. My grandma on the other hand put me in time out, and that's why I have a problem with authority. Not spanking seems more damaging to me.

Darling, they're probably what you imagine them to be. A quck google image search should answer your question!

Yeah just googled it lol! Um how do you use a belly tassel though? Just curious nothing popped up when I googled that!

Tourmaline15 · February 2015

My husband was beat with all kinds of things as a kid and he still has problems with authority. Try again.

moonseeds92 · February 2015

Maybe it's a good thing I have a problem with authority. I don't just lay down and do whatever I'm told without question. Either way. Feel sorry all you want, it doesn't affect me or my little tadpole. But hey, at least MJ is healthier than meth.

moonseeds92 · February 2015

@pettybetty‌ and @Tourmaline15‌ you two should pair up and call yourselves the Judgmental Duo.

WaffleyGoodness · February 2015

@burlexe I am sure that is not an unpopular opinion to want the big belly, but you also sound very interesting. Imma like talking to you.

When are you due?

The crank skank is clearly the stereotype of white trash troll.

Omggggggggggg

Oneill614 · February 2015

Here's an unpopular opinion: I've been on this board for one day, and the complete lack of respect people show for each other is terrible. We're supposed to be pregnant women supporting each other with advice through a challenging time in our lives. Instead, it seems like you all come here to find someone you can pounce on to make yourselves feel better.

Is being cruel on the internet a symptom of pregnancy?

Wow! There is no reason to call each other names. We are in for a looooong 9 months (and more!) if this is how we are going to talk to each other. We are going to have opinions and choices that other mums will not agree with but we do not need to escalate to name calling and stereotyping! We are October mums! We have these little precious babies we are bringing into the world and we have each other to share the joy with. You guys are all I really have right now since I didn't announce it yet and my dad and grandma only want to tell me how I fucked up my life. We should be bonding, not bringing hate here.

If you are smoking weed (and encouraging other pregnant ladies to do so) and cigarettes and fully plan on spanking your children, we probably won't bond well.

Understood. We all have things we will not do and things we will. Personally, I am straight edge and pregnant or not I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs of any kind (Caffeine included), and I do cringe when women say that weed doesn't hurt the baby or that just a little caffeine or wine is okay. But, some women use weed to help their symptoms so I cannot argue that they are wrong. I can say, it's not for me. But ultimately they are (potentially) hurting their own child and mine is still as I want him or her to be.

It may be wiser to just not talk to her. You are obviously very nice and you are opinionated, and that is great! There are times in which debates will happen. These are hot topics, and OH LORD when 20 weeks comes around and we find out who is having boys and the whole circumcision debate pops up in high gear. Name calling is never good in any debate. It makes you look less in control of your emotions (which, you're pregnant so you're not, but you know what I mean). Always take the classy road and keep insults and assumptions our of arguments. Keep on the topic at hand. We shouldn't slap people that put their hands on us, even if they deserve it. We shouldn't spank our kids, even if they are horrid. We shouldn't imbibe any chemical during pregnancy. Those are all fine points, but name calling just makes you look irrational and we're all better than that!

Plus... a bunch of pregnant women fighting... Oh Lord!

It's fine by me if I appear irrational to you. While I'm sure your feeling very maternal, I don't need to be mothered about "keeping it klassy". Illegal drugs while pregnant isn't just a hot topic, it's disgusting and shame on you for turning the blind eye on that baby instead of speaking up as to exactly how much damage she could be imposing. Yes it's not my baby but as mothers we owe it to all babies.

Federally illegal in the US. She could be in a state that permits it, and she could be in a country that permits it. And, as I see it, there isn't anything I can do. She is going to smoke weed all she wants and nothing I say online can stop her.

But...

That isn't what I advised against. I said calling her names and asking if she lived in a trailer is irrational, not standing up for her kid. I said stick to your point, don't call names. When you call names you help her kid less because she is LESS likely to listen to you. I know far too many victims of bullying, and people who resort to that may pass that on to their kids and I don't want that around my kid. That can affect MY kid and it's wrong. If you think @moonseeds92 shouldn't smoke pot, then tell her that. Stick to THAT. But calling her a crack skank and asking if she lives in a trailer insults her and insults perfectly nice people who live in trailers. They are not all meth labs, ya know?

Tourmaline15 · February 2015

@WaffleyGoodness‌ Soooooo many words. I can't even read your entire posts without getting bored. Could you maybe just give us the abridged version when you posts? Mmmmk?

I agree 100%...we should be having intellectual debates. If you really want to change someone's mind and help their unborn baby, name calling is not the way to go. So if that really is what is important to you..helping the child and not just putting someone down for the hell of it..then you should care about the best way to approach the person.

I don't really find calling a troll a name is bad. But you have another thing coming to you if you think this board is going to fill up with rainbow farting unicorns. This isn't a mommy war on formula vs. Breastfeeding it about illegal unstudied drugs while pregnant and someone who is clearly too young to care. But just follow the sheeple pack.

WaffleyGoodness · February 2015

I feel so sorry for the children whose parents think that reading something that isn't even 200 words is boring.

And for someone who is so ethnocentric that she thinks there are only Americans on this site, and weed is illegal everywhere. It's not even illegal everywhere in the United States.

Aww see now you're playing!

WaffleyGoodness · February 2015

Didn't call you a name. I stuck to the fact that parents shouldn't discourage reading in their children and they shouldn't teach them that there is only America and only America's laws are relevant. Never called you a name, nor did I imply you live in a place that stereotypically "trash" lives in.

I'm not saying I don't 100% agree with you that doing drugs while pregnant is bad..because I do agree. I'm saying that if you want to see a change for the babies sake (because that's what has been claimed) you are going about it the wrong way.

Well why don't you show us and we'll see if you get a better result. I presented her with facts from the department or health and human services I didn't just go straight to name calling.

WaffleyGoodness · February 2015

Sad fact is, that even if she does pot right up to her kid's birthday, chances are Child services won't do shit anyways. I knew a girl whose kid had cocaine in his system at birth and they didn't do a thing. Still sent him home. I had a friend who was a social worker who made decisions to take the child away from parents for drug use... they didn't listen. She quit because she was tired of being there when children were being screwed over.

Some places they do perscribe it for morning sickness.

moonseeds92 · February 2015

Alright since @pettybetty‌ seems to think I'm a meth addicted white trailer trash troll, here's a little background. I'm 22 years old and married. My husband is 29. I met him while stationed on a Naval base in Virginia Beach (I was active duty Navy). We went on deployment this last year together, came back and got married on December 21 in San Antonio where he grew up. Still live in Virginia, he's still in the navy and I'm a veteran.

I don't mind sharing but you have no idea who I am. I'm newly married, pregnant and working two crap jobs to make sure DH and I are mostly debt free when baby comes.

WaffleyGoodness · February 2015

Yes @moonseeds92 This is a thread of a bunch of hormonal pregnant women bitching. You don't owe anyone any explanation. We're all gonna bitch about something anyways...

As for being a troll, You have an account that has been active over a year, and you have a wedding photo avi (which many accounts do, especially ones that started on theknot.) (I am making an assumption there but...) It's pretty clear you're not a troll, really. So, don't worry what anyone else thinks. If she starts to get to ya too bad, there is always a block button.
