Anyone gone to one of these? My sil just invited me to go with her this summer in DC. Wondering if I want to, please enlighten me, if you have any information/experience.
Isn't a catfish when you pretend to be someone you are not on the internets to lure someone into a fake relationship?
Kinda. It doesn't have to be a relationship. It's pretending to be someone you're not for personal gain. I've seen some really crazy ones where someone created an AE and bashed themselves with the AE and all sorts of stuff. Those ones kinda scare me.
Okay but I still don't get why me asking about an event makes somone think catfish? Am I being thick? Sorry not alot sleep around these parts recently.

Well I wasn't thinking you were a catfish, but given your defensiveness, I now have questions.
Mommy Con makes me think of a bunch of pretentious mommy bloggers hanging out judging the shiz out of each other. And companies peddling their kiddie wares.

Wtf? People have time for that? I can hardly keep up with my one account. Holy moly they must be bored and a bit messed up to play that kind of shit game.
Redirecting, there's a mommycon in Atl in March. I'd kind of be into going but given that it's all about being natural and baby wearing if fear a lot of "oh you're not bfing?" Side eyes and potential nonvaccers bringing kids since up to age 10 is ok. I might wait around for another mom trade show type thing.. I recall there being one or two that were a little less exclusive last year.
My kid weighs to damn much to carry, plus he pulls hair and slaps.
Glad my kid isn't the only one! The slaps are starting to hurt now too. I pretended to cry and he laughed! My husband said it was my bad acting he was laughing at. So hoping he understands the word gentle soon.
I don't think baby wearing and CD make one pretentious.
<--- Does both. Probably wouldn't go to mommy con though...
Yeah I mixed comic calling mommycon pretentious with babybarlow saying its more for cloth diaper baby wearing (which to me sounds more granola than pretentious- that's why I was saying that's not my kind of pretentious).
I actually think of her (with disgust) every time I attempt to change DS's diaper and he wiggles all over the place. I still feel sorry for her children.
