  • This is why I like having nephews. I can hang out with them and enjoy their cuteness, but don't have to deal with giving birth/post-birth ish, and I can give them back to my sister when they get cranky.

  • I'm trying to sneak knotting in on my phone at work. I feel like I'm back in hs again trying to hide when I would text message, heh. Anyway, I'm just gonna throw some love out there to y'all. I miss being active during the day after only a week, which shows how much I enjoy it.:) I think part of staying sane during my 1L year was definitely attributed to the great conversations and friendships gained on here.

     I was a pretty strong supporter of "lady garden" up until now, but as of this moment I have retired it for "gentleman greeter."

    How, exactly, does one make a fist of their hand to squeeze the baggie... with their hand INSIDE the slim plastic tube of the bottle? HOW?

    I went to lunch and by the time I got back everyone had PMs. I'm curious.

    And yeah, SW is annoying. She always has been and I'm pretty sure she always will be.

    [QUOTE]I'm really irked by the creation of this new board on the bump: <a href="http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/11777263/ShowForum.aspx?MsdVisit=1" rel='nofollow'>http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/11777263/ShowForum.aspx?MsdVisit=1</a> Not because of the board itself, but because of what they called it. "Childfree" is a term and a community specifically about NOT wanting children, ever. I've participated in many childfree communities and there is a lot of diversity, but one thing in common: they would like to be taken seriously, have their lifestyle treated as a legitimate choice, and not be questioned ("you'll change your mind" etc.). This sort of misuse of the term only serves to go against these wishes and creates confusion. It's like when somebody says "I used to be childfree..." no. You were never childfree if you proceeded to have kids. Childfree is a permanent state of being and is generally a positive one (except for the way we are treated by others). People who wish to have children but cannot, for some reason, are child less . I really don't appreciate these people co-opting our community's term like that. It's kind of offensive. (Before someone quotes the dictionary to me, the dictionary is behind the times. I could go into that phenomenon a little more but I gotta get some work done.)

  • I don't know alix. It would also mean that H would never be able to feed him because his hands wouldn't fit in there and I'm not entirely sure mine would fit in there either.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Freestyle Friday Festival (my version of FFF) : See.  I disagree.  She deserved it.  She may have backpedaled and changed her story and reworded her intial post better as she went, but that's what she does.  And I fail to see how others can be "wrong" for reacting to what she's said, rather than what she later claims she meant to say.

    <div>No i completely agree with you.  And I think I said the exact same thing in FFF last week when someone flamed the people who were mean to her in that thread.  Her initial post, combined with her history of posting compaining about her H, made her compeltely open to all comments.  I meant maybe she didn't deserve considering what she actually was talking about in that post, but I don't think anyone was wrong for calling her out.  That is why I never apologize to her for my original comment.  I stand by my post and all posts I've made about her. </div>

    Another slightly gross, possibly TMI question, but we're all (that I know of, old man undies aside) of the vag team here... are you allowed/able to wear tampons? Or is it a month and a half of pads? Because god damn.

    ETA: Schit. I blasphemed again.

  • Yea.  Just read the linked thread, Ciara.  She angers me.  First she starts off by saying how "lucky" she was that her H split feedings with her, implying that you are not lucky because your H is less than wonderful.  (EDIT- your H being less than wonderful and you therefore not being lucky is her implied statement, not my opinion).  Then, after you fully explain why her option isn't an option at all, she just keeps on pushing.  She isn't trying to be helpful, she's trying to be RIGHT. 

    And don't get me started about her nonsense about her "kids" at the center.  I feel like she brings them up only to prove how saintly she is.  At least she didn't stop to remind us that they're black in that post.  Because usually she has to clarify that she works with black and mexican kids.  It gives her more saintly white people points. 
  • You have to wear pads alix. It's 6 weeks of nothing going in there.

    Pads.  Seriously biblical pads.  You can't put <em>anything</em> in there until your six week check up.

  • Between this and pooping during childbirth, they should seriously tell teenage girls this. I think it would seriously prevent some teenage pregnacies.




  • Im with Mel, that first comment in that thread irked me too. Like oh my H helped me and yours didn't. Seriously? And then the comment about how she has to take a personal day because it is so busy, and then she says because one kid got shot it was crazy. Yeah, It is SO annoying when an 8th grader gets shot, it makes me so drained. Wow.

    I ALWAYS think that. Like, "<em>pregnancy pact eh? You think it's glamorous now but wait until you schit your pants in a room of people and they slice ya from vag to bum.</em>" That'd set 'em straight.
