Freestyle Friday Festival (my version of FFF)

Birdie1483 · May 2011

Yeah I still remember how traumatized I was when I first learned about the pooping thing when I was in the car with some work friends going to lunch. ::tries to shake memory::

ahhhitsshannyn · May 2011

Eeesh and six weeks of pads? There is so much I do not know about pregnancy and childbirth, and I am not too excited to learn.

Meg1979 · May 2011

Ciara, you are doing an awesome job. Don't let let SW mess with your head.

scottswife1106 · May 2011

Oh boy! I am on my lunch break and have to get back to this crisis counseling session. One of the kids from my center was murdered Wednesday night and the people have been here since yesterday to help the staff and kids with this. But I think I should say something.

Ciara, I am very sorry for saying what I said in the I Judge thread. I did not mean to hurt or upset you in any way. I have been a mom to a child who has had health concerns and it is very stressful. I truly apologize. I was also not trying to give feeding "advice". You said that squeezing the bottle was hurting your hands and I thought that the liners might be a little easier for you. My intentions were not to "tell you what to do" or act like I knew your personal situation. I was only trying to help. If I came off as pushy, that was not my intent. I am praying for baby Edmund that everything works out for him and he gets stronger everyday. i am also praying for the strength for you and your H.

As far as the actual thread goes, I didn't think that cowering out and not participating anymore, after I accepted the flames, would be looked upon as a good thing. I read the flames and responded to most of them. Did I backpedal and try to clarify what I was trying to say? Yes. Have I done that in the past? Yes. But I didn't think that I needed to go away crying and saying that the E Knotties were talking about me and calling me names. I took the flames addressed them and moved on.

I really like many of you, regardless to the way some of you think of me. I feel like I have taken the criticism in stride and have tried to adjust to fit into the board.

Well hopefully I have cleared some things up for you all but especially Ciara. I cannot say enough how sorry I am for what I said and adding to the stress that you have with a new baby.

And if any of you can find it in your hearts, please keep my center in your thoughts and prayers. The boy that was killed was also the nephew of one of the workers. He will be missed so much by the kids and the staff. It broke my heart yesterday to see these babies in so much pain. My heart is broken and I know that this is going to be a longer day than yesterday.

There have been times I want to hand him off to her and make her understand how difficult it is. But that would be cruel to him.

kate51485 · May 2011

All I can say about that Bump board Daff linked is that no one needs to have a picture of a deceased baby in their sig.

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE

PM for you Shannyn

Birdie1483 · May 2011

[QUOTE]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. <strong> It gives her more saintly white people points.

Kate I completely agree.

I thought the sigs making note of all their miscarriages were as bad as it got. Holy cow.

Stackeye210 · May 2011

Here's another thing about giving birth. I pulled all the muscles in my inner right thigh while pushing (well actually Mr Stack was holding my leg and basically pulled them all himself and I never knew until the epidural wore off). It took like 6 months to finally feel normal from that part.

The Mel and Todd Show · May 2011

Yea, you weren't at work yesterday, remember SW? You took a "me" day because a kid got shot.

Ciaram22 · May 2011

Wait who has a dead baby in their sig?

Stackeye210 · May 2011

What page is Daffs link on? I don't want to go through all 9 pages. I'm lazy.

Those I understand because it's part of where they're posting. Now that sigs are the same for each (TK, TN, TB) it's odd when you see them over here, but over there, I get it. But I'm not sure that the picture is necessary.

I understand the reason behind them, I guess when I said bad I meant it more as sad or depressing, not bad as in I think they're stupid for doing it or something.

mica178 · May 2011

I'm never going on TB. If/when we ever decide to TTC, I'll ask the moms on TK for less scary advice. Those siggies with all the lost babies scare me too much.

Ciaram22 · May 2011

That is just weird.

There is a girl on my month board that her son was alive for 19 hours and like 34 minutes and she has pictures on her blog of him after he died.

louisvillebride21 · May 2011

Hey all! I've been MIA since last week, so this is probably out of the blue. I've popped in a couple different threads when I had some free time and there's been a couple things that stood out to me and REALLY irked me.

Emily, what has gotten into you lately? You used to be really...nice and helpful and only mean when it was really called for. I've noticed that you've just been...rude here lately. My latest example is this thread where a girl was looking for a particular sig pic. I just don't understand where the snark came from on this one. And it makes me sad because I used to think you were so helpful.

And Anna. Oh my. I can't help but feeling you're beyond pretentious. First example I guess that i never got over was the book thing. I know you back peddled and tried to explain it, but I wasn't buying. The whole I hate it when people only read popular books and think they're the best thing ever instead of reading something REAL. Who gives a damn? And then yesterday/last night in Unpop Op. You got all outlandish that you think people should have to take a test to vote. Totally legit (and outlandish) feeling. But then someone else had an EQUALLY outlandish statement about sterilizing people at birth (and admitted that she knew it wasn't right). You all but called her a eugenicist. And then in your next post was all...well, most people don't even know what eugenics is. Thanks for speaking for the rest of us.

Not trying to be a cop out and post at the end of a post, but it's been a busy as hell week and this is the first time I've had time to do anything. And I'm about to go home in about an hour.
