veggiemo I agreed with you about the time moving at just the right rate until about 2 weeks ago when I started to have all the feels about LO getting older. But man, when we were back in those newborn nightmare days, I couldn't wait for them to be over...
I agree with you veggiemo. I'm not wishing for time to stand still but I'm still a bit surprised we are almost at the year mark. Every month just gets better now and I'm loving watching M grow. I definitely won't miss the infant stage.
RE Ages, not that this is a UO, but my favorite age that I have experienced so far with DD was right around the 12-18 month range. I am counting down the days until I get there again with LO. Eating, sleeping, walking, some talking... somewhat like a normal person without the tantrums being too crazy... at least that is what I hope it is going to be like again.

My baby never slept well, never slept in stores, and cried a whole lot. So I'd take being pregnant for 15 months any day over dealing with a newborn. I still get nightmares thinking how difficulty and how depressed I was.

LO had a super easy infant stage, so that's not really what sparked my opinion. I just look back at when he was born and think a year sounds about right. I'm not all feely about how big he's getting or all the new things he's learning. To me it's nothing but exciting!
UO? I loved the newborn stage, they are so cuddly, and tiny and less work then a mobile baby. They don't hit me, they don't climb on my kitchen table, they don't get dirty, they don't eat food off the floor, they don't run too fast and fall over, they don't open the doors and run.
Anyone else run ragged?
Unpopular with me, but I had an extremely unhappy newborn and a relatively happy young toddler, so that definitely colors my vision.

jillywilly breastfeeding opinions piss me off. If your not feeding the baby in question with your own boobs you have no opinion what's so ever so fuck you!
It's the pressure to BF, or not to BF in my case that's so uncomfortable and confusing.
Just in case it wasn't clear, I give zero shits about how others feed their baby, as long as they're fed. I think breast milk and formula are both awesome. I had a lot of expectations of this wonderful breastfeeding relationship I was going to have with my child while I was pregnant, and so I have a lot of emotions below the surface still from when that didn't pan out for me.
I'm just sitting back and waiting for someone to share their hatred for threads where @hazeldublin and I take over with our back and forth banter. No board support and all.
Oh wait...that's a popular opinion...
Could be a confession though.
Randoms threads are my favorite threads. Why you a hater? @hazeldublin I like them because it's a way we can have a normal conversation and with less structure

In about 3 weeks I will have made it to a year of breastfeeding LO, which I am very happy about, but I really think for the next one I would love to be able to maintain breastfeeding while I am with the baby, but give formula while they are away from me, so I don't have to deal with the stress of pumping and worrying you aren't getting enough. Holy run-on sentence.
Weren't you talking about watching Sister Wives the other day...?
But them being mormon definitely explains why all the clothes seem too long to me.
I was. I think I am connecting the clothing style (which I do like) to the oppression in women in that culture/religion now that I know that, which is why I said it.
I just figured it went along with the modesty standards men and women follow in the Mormon church. Their undergarments cover knee to elbow for everyone, not just women.
That being said, they do have the reputation of the oppressive polygamist compound thing, but the mainstream LDS church doesn't associate with that any more.

I was at the park last week and there was a family of Mormon children there. The women had 9 kids. 5 of them were boys and they were all climbing all over the playground equipment wearing pants and button up shirts. The other 4 were girls all wearing dresses to their ankles and long sleeves with the high neck and they were all just sitting on a bench watching their brothers play. I was so curious if it was because their mom told them not to or that their clothing restricted their ability to climb the playground equipment.

If that was aimed at me. I wasn't thinking anything like that at all.
I think I had a reading comprehension fail - after budders pointed out she thought you were talking about my H, that made sense. I'm trying to multi-task posting invoices to get ahead for the end of the month and reading this thread, and it didn't pan out for me. I'm glad you didn't think I was judging anyone
FFFC: I've eaten rhubarb in cake and pies before, but had no idea it looked like red celery. WTF? I thought it was just a normal little fruity looking thing? Actually, I guess I never really thought about it at all.
You might already know this but just a warning. Rhubarb and red Swiss chard look very similar. Rhubarb has poisonous leaves so you can only eat the stalk. Red Swiss chard you can eat the whole thing
In an effort to just turn this into an even more random thread I was reading about listeria and it said you can just cook it out. So if you are boiling frozen veggies for 10 min then there is no reason to be scared of the listeria in the veggies. So I was thinking it's similar to treatment of raw eggs or raw chicken in that you just need to cook it.

Of course I had to google this and now am 100% sure I will not be using either because I will definitely poison myself.
Good thing I'm a terrible cook and also hate cooking. Crisis averted.
Mine were $25 as well. Seems like your consultant wanted to bump her profits up
Did you guys know that the 'creators' of LLR are mormons? I don't know why but since I've known that (couple days), I am lest interested in buying...
uuummmm. Way to be judgmental about another person's freedom to choose their own religion??? Why would you be less likely to buy something from a Mormon? Just because you don't have the same beliefs? I feel some kind of way about that and I am an atheist.
I could see why someone who doesn't approve of some of the beliefs of the owners of a business would choose to not buy from them. You make decisions all the time about why or why not to shop somewhere or support some cause, this is just one of the factors that goes into your decision making.

And I really hate that so many posts get started as "AW". No. You're sharing. A majority of the time it's not to be an attention whore. It's a community of sharing.
I'm sure the AW is probably down to all the grief that was given out to people when we were all pregnant. The labels SS and AW were lashed out all the time.
I certainly had the impression that on TCF as a whole, not specifically June 15, the etiquette is that if you're posting something personal rather than inviting discussion, it's polite to indicate that.
I enjoy the randoms thread(s) but have no problem with people who dislike or avoid it.

Just getting to this thread now and wanted to jump all over this but held back since I was only on page 1;) glad someone else mentioned this!

So what are your feels on the people who are boycotting target because of the bathroom situation?
