Sitewide UO/FFC LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUUUMBLE!

lovemyirishtwins, almost 2 years of J15 FFFC and that never came out?

I try not to discuss bedroom activities with anyone that is a relative. Makes me super, super awkward even about some jokes, etc. Newp.

Have a confession you want to share?

Maybe. I've never ever farted in front of MH.

I don't believe you.

I still don't give my kid open cups on the regular.

Ages 5 and 10.

@sing2phins and @ftwr do you always refrigerate cake? If not, what is the difference?

....yes?

Really? You don't ever use a cake stand?

I shared this one on my BMB a few weeks ago and someone said I should share it here, so here goes:

I would have no problem with my good friends or sisters breastfeeding my babies. I also would have no problem with breastfeeding other people's babies.

My sister keeps telling me she wants me to watch her baby when she goes back to work and my only condition is that I be allowed to nurse for comfort if needed. Her baby will get her milk or formula for nutrition, but if the baby is inconsolable, I'm too busy to spend time trying to rock or whatever to calm him down when I could pop a boob in his mouth and have him calm in five minutes. It's a breast and that's what they are for. I'd rather my baby be happy at someone else's breast than screaming inconsolably for an hour while they try everything else to calm them down.

Neither has sweetpotato. I will always remember that fun fact about her. It's crazy impressive to me.

I don't like drinking out of plastic aside from red solo cups.

Not even a silent one?

DH thinks it's unlady-like for girls to do that in front of other people, so I never did. Until I was pregnant and just sittin up in bed knocked one out. He still doesn't like it, but dude, grow up.

Can I support breastfeeding but still think it's weird when you hear about people breastfeeding until the kid is like 7? Because I do.

That's a sphincter of steel.

This thread is moving faster than I can keep up with. Every time I read a page and move on, another page has been added. Good thing my kid is in daycare right now while I'm "working" from home.

I guess I'm really into butts today.

Would you like another butt story?

I'm sort of happy that ttc didn't work last month for two very different reasons. 

1. This means I can drink to my heart's desire during The Wedding in the Woods next weekend.
2.I'm not sure I could get past wondering if I conceived a child during my first butt plug experience.

[wineandcake]

One time while hugely pregnant I peed a bit during sex. I played it off as I was just really into what we were doing and he acted like he thought he was doing great. In my head I was counting down the seconds until it was over and trying to figure out how long I had to wait before getting up and running to the bathroom without making it obvious that it was pee. We've never mentioned it since and I'm sure he knows the truth, but it was gross and I don't want to think about it.

[jnow]

I've had to tell my MIL to stop talking about BIL's sex life.

Also, that it is not her place to give him permission to use his vacation days....even if he does still live at home.

I'm just going by my experience, but only two out of five would take them. Of course I would never nurse a baby that is content with a paci. Sticking that in their mouth is easier than talking the time to nurse. I'm talking about inconsolable babies.

[Deleted]

creepyeyeball, it's not the boob sharing that gets me. It's the fact that I don't want BFing to be used as a source of comfort.

It's about food for me. If it isn't time for baby to eat, no boob in mouth. But I know you and I are on different sides of the fence on this concept. I'm on the non-placenta fence ;-)

UO/FFWC: I love diagramming sentences. And I was really good at it in high school.

Grammar nerd right here. Oh yeah.

DD called my mil Hey You once after she turned two. I know it really bothered mil, but I was more proud of my very late to talk daughter for using a new phrase. Besides, if you are going to be worried that your grand daughter doesn't know you...maybe you should put in a bit of effort.

I've known many people who kept organs and even dead pets in the freezer for way too long because they couldn't decide what to do with them and a freezer is very out of sight out of mind. So I'm not scandalized at all.

How is it out of sight out of mind? This does not compute for me. It would be there when you are meal planning, it would be there when you pull meat out for dinner, and my ice for my drinks hello there is organ in there!!!

Anyway, my real issue is either use it or lose it. Come on now!

I know no one who has put their pet in their freezer. #blessed

I think making it a condition is way more ...off? than saying that you're willing to do it. 

I'm just saying that I'm not going to agree to watch him unless she is willing to consider it. It's something that should be discussed before the situation arises. Of course I would never want someone else to nurse my baby without permission and want to get permission as well. Nursing for comfort, IME, is the easiest way to comfort a baby. I have my hands full and know my limits, so if I don't have the option to comfort quickly versus take time to try other things, I'm going to pass on being her baby's caregiver for over forty hours a week.

I'm not necessarily scandalized by this- as long as all parties were ok with it- but, for example, my kid has never been BF. If you think you can calm her down with a boob, I think you may be wrong. I would need you to have another... I don't know... strategy? or options? or a back up plan? I would be worried if you were telling me you could only calm my kid with this method because you are "too busy". I mean, you're watching my kid. I am trusting that you can troubleshoot.

Thanks to whoever pinned this btw!

[bunnyfungo]

I definitely use my boobs as a pacifier. It's one of my favorite things about BFing. And it gets me out of all kinds of stuff. Oh, the ILs are here? The baby is crying, better go nurse her. Alone. In my room. Where I can read on my phone.

+1

I also read a post on a mom's forum on FB where a mom was BF'ing her newborn and her EIGHT yr old came home and asked if he could try. She was proud of him for knowing how to latch right away.

NO

STOP IT
