I'm not a co-sleeper but isn't it one of the tenets (?) of Attachment Parenting and that it actually helps independence in the long run? I also found it odd that your "proud" of a baby for sleeping alone. It just struck me as odd. JukEboXtheTanK
I was too worried about SIDS to attempt co-sleeping. But I also had a non cuddler for a baby.
Yeah, I think that's the idea and /anecdote my 3yo slept in our bed for 17 months and has not spent a single night in it since.
this.
unless invited for a Friday night family sleep over.
Trolling Beyonce is my fave because she could shit on the floor like that Flavor of Love girl and people would WK her. "That floor should be honored Queen Bey shit on it. I wish she would shit on me." - @arielmermaid

My mom is what I call a "negative relater". When someone tells her their car died she will have a story about her car dying. Almost like a one upper.
I feel like that's how some posters are here. "Oh you had a bad trip to the grocery store, me too!" You do this a couple times and it's commiseration but when it happens continually it becomes annoying and seems overly dramatic.
I have to stop myself from doing it sometimes because I learned from my mom that's how you relate to people.
I find myself doing this a lot and also wonder and I being read as relating or one upping. My intent is to empathize with someone and say you are not the only one who has dealt with x, y, and z (because I find that comforting) but I never know if it's coming across.
I am a bit taken a back with the strong sweetie feelings. I guess it depends on the context for me. I don't know. I am in the south so not a dirty word.
Not withstanding who is was said to I thought it was more snarky than cunty. Just talking shit not being malicious.
We're going June 2019! We went in '09 for our honeymoon and decided we'd go back every 10 years. Can't wait!
We like to go back to our honeymoon spot too! Montana though, so easier to get to and cheaper than Hawaii. We've discussed a 3 year plan--Christmas with my family, Christmas with the ILs, Christmas in Montana. It's up this year, but MH is waffling.

I know Larry happened. Please do not try to convince me otherwise. Please don't talk to me about coffee. I don't drink it. I don't caffeine. When I state my opinion, that is me chiming in on a topic. This is not me saying you suck at life if you do or feel differently. If I want to say that, I will. If I want to speak on you, I will.
Also, while I think Amy was wrong a bunch of times in this thread, I do find there to be a tone of "say anything " to her. I've seen threads where she's ripped to shreds over something minor, but it's ok because she's Amy. A good chunk of the time I don't agree with her, but I don't think that means it's a free for all.
She has no problem saying whatever she feels like to everyone here.
So, my sympathy ran out a long time ago.
I do try to be polite and I do try to not engage. I made the mistake of engaging today but I did speak my truth and for that I have no regrets.
I don't go around telling people to fuck off,
to shut the fuck up, go to hell, better off dead, you have unresolved issues that need serious therapy or any of that Stuff that is out and out straight up mean.
I have people who do that to me almost every day I post.
It's great fun, especially when they are rarely called on
I think my ILs want to plan a trip to Disney someday and it sounds like fresh hell to me. I know it will be wonderful and people love it, but it sounds like Whoops' fresh hell.

So it sure seems like the board approves.
Someone told you you'd be better off dead? Here? On this forum?

I don't think recommending therapy is a bad thing at all (or at a least I never have before). Part of my job is working with people who have been victims of crime and severely traumatized. I discuss counseling with them, sign them up for services and refer them out. Even people who are hesitant, I strongly encourage it. I firmly believe it can be beneficial for most everyone to have a third party to talk to.
Cause in real life if you tell someone they need counseling, you had better be very close or it won't come off as loving or helpful. It will come off as bitchy and condescending.[/quote
I wasn't the one who said it but when as someone who has been in therapy most her life and is a huge advocate for it. When I tell someone they should consider counseling I mean it in a sincere and a loving way. I mean it in a you should get help to work through this issue that seems to be causing you so much pain. And I read @scoutnumbers posts as such.
