I can't keep up with the highly categorized threads. I'd rather sift through a bunch of the same posts than have to wade through 10 pages of sleep stuff just to keep up.
I agree with this... I think it was helpful when we were still getting a lot of new posters who were asking the exact same things over and over and not bothering to read any of the same 10000000 conversations going on but since it's pretty much a core group of people now Its probably not as necessary.
Sorry pistolpackinmomma didn't mean to ignore you. The way you feed your kid does not matter to me. Just saying if you have the option of feeding naturally why not at least try.
I think you're generally a pretty sweet, level headed poster. So this is a bit shocking to see you post that but it is a UO thread. However, geographically this might be popular in certain conservative areas. That doesn't make it okay. People speak a lot of different languages here. A lot. Visit New York City and you'll get a taste. They are all 100% American. And illegals- we were all illegals once.
Thank you. I think someone's been watching a little too much Fox News.
I think this is what people who've never actually watched Fox News think Fox News is.
I should clarify that it's not that I don't want my kids to learn as much as possible, it's that the US seems to be adapting to the illegals that are in this country. That is my issue.

Thanks becole. I do understand that there are many spoken languages in this country. And yes I am living in WV where there is not much diversity. But just because we were all illegals once makes it okay for people to sneak into our country with drugs and who knows what else and then we cater to them?! It seems absurd to me. I wouldn't expect the same if I went to another country to live. But maybe my view is wrong because I've also never been to another country.
I don't care how people decide to feed their babies. However, I do side eye the hell out of a coworker with a 3 month old who constantly complains to me about the cost of formula, but didn't try breastfeeding because she didn't want to. This same woman also was trying CIO when the baby was less than a month old.
You just proved my point, they speak English too! The illegal people living here need to learn our language, not me needing to learn theirs.
How about the people who were here with entire civilizations in place before the Dutch (non-English speaking, by the by) and the French (ditto) and the people we enslaved (samesies)?

Judge me because I want my kid to learn every language out there. I want my kid to learn all the things. All of them.

Here's a more light hearted UO - I hate Bath and Body Works. The scents are so fake and strong, it gives me a headache. Unfortunately, people love to gift BBW so I have a ton of it. I can't even regift it fast enough!

Oh my! I finally sneak.in a nap and look what I missed! Best quote"When people sneak into our country with drugs and who knows what else" Okay I'll admit it I already sorta prejudge people from West Virginia and this thread did nothing to dispell my prejudice.
I think there is some serious ignorance about this and I think it's a good opportunity for learning. Please bear with me...
If not for "illegals", I wouldn't be here, since my great-grandparents were straight off the boat from Germany. I wouldn't be friends with two of our best friends, the H recently gained citizen (Mexico) and I two other couples we are friends whose spouses are from Thailand and Vietnam... And I don't really live in a very diverse area and that's still "America" to me. They are all amazing friends, and there is no difference. We hang out while they speak Spanish to each other and English to us. I think if you've never been exposed to educated/ contributing members of the US society, you may have a very skewed view of what "illegals" are or do here. 99% are not smuggling drugs. They live their every day lives and are human beings. They are human. I don't know how else I can say this gently.

My UO has to do with color schemes in houses, I don't like them. The more shades and colors in my eyes makes a house feel cheerful so nothing is really matchy in match in my home.

I used to love BBW too! Actually, I still like the candles but the lotions, forgetaboutit. Maybe it was pregnancy that changed my sensitivity to the scents.

Which is sad. I'm in Ohio but right on the border and we constantly get lumped in with them. Not all WV peeps are this ignorant. I promise.
pistolpackinmomma you on other hand make me feel ridiculous for gaving such prejudices as you come off as perfectly reasonable and sane:D

I agree and am allergic to most of it.
Other UOs: I strongly dislike candles and don't understand why people think that's a nice gift to give someone.
I am a huge Patriots fan but can understand why they are hated.
I enjoy snow days off from school/work even if it means school goes til late June. NBD.
Just pot stirrin with the send em all home. I do think we have some serious issues with illegal immigration, but I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject to engage in a serious discussion. So I make jokes.
I think compassion needs to be balanced with practicality, but I don't know specifically what that looks like.
