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.

If you support BFing, support it without a "but". No "but be discreet", "but use a cover", "but don't take your whole boob out", "but not past [arbitrary age]", "but pump it and put it in a sippy". If I'm not using your boobs, you don't get to decide how I breastfeed.
I do support breastfeeding, but there is a but. That "but" is that lactivism and any kid of shaming of people that don't want to or couldn't breastfeed is insufferable.
To me, that's a separate issue. Supporting women who breastfeed = / = being a dick to those who can't/chose not to.
Lame, but its all I got right now. I can't stop thinking about how and when I'm going to get ds to stop sucking his thumb. I keep worrying that he'll mess up his teeth and/or speech at some point.
I know I need to just release it for now since he just turned 1, but I can't.

FFC- A couple weeks ago DH was at a bachelor party, and he called me at 1:00 a.m. and said that "we need to talk." He explained that some drunk girl fell in the parking lot and when he tried helping her up, she grabbed his junk.
Part of me really wanted to ask if there was more to the story, like was he leading her on in the bar? But then I was like "holy shit that is so sexist. I would never ask a girl if she did something to deserve being sexually assaulted." I'm a hypocrite.
I feel some people should put more of an effort in their child's appearance. You only have a small window to instill hygiene habits and grooming skills. Use it.

Musty stale pussy is a real problem. We all need to self evaluate and think, "am I meeting all my hygiene needs in regards to my pussy?"
"Am I the stale musty pussy person?"
There are things you can do and feminine wipes when you are feeling "not so fresh."
Completely disagree. It is a self cleaning organ and the soap and water from regular bathing is enough. Feminine wipes are a conspiracy from people at big Pharma.
I don't care about people breastfeeding but I admit when I've seen some of the breasts I feel like woof and it takes all my strength to act like nothing is out the norm in front of my kids one of which has boob interest.

I agree some what. If what you are doing or using still leaves you smelling, you need to try something else.

UO: I think Paralympic athletes are way more impressive then regular Olympic athletes. Not only do they have to be incredibly athletic, but they also have to overcome the physical and mental challenges that comes with having a physical disability. It annoys the fuck out of me that the Paralympics aren't given the same amount of media coverage as the regular Olympics.
When discussing white privilege and s white person says "yeah I grew up poor."
I think them dumb and don't have the patience to explain. I know it's a teachable moment but - I'm not that bitch.
okay but... white people can be poor too?
Like I recognize I'm possibly showing my white privilege here but I'm not sure a person should be thought of as "dumb" for saying they grew up poor if they are white.
I get that the basis for white privilege is that you start out at an advantage because of your skin color, but still.
Why I find it dumb? Cause white privilege has nothing to do with your socioeconomic background and how you as te white person grew up. If you don't get that part, I'm done.

To me, that's a separate issue. Supporting women who breastfeed = / = being a dick to those who can't/chose not to.
To you, yes, maybe. But in the national conversation it's a REALLY thin line and often those most passionate about breastfeeding are really not at all compassionate to those who don't/can't.
And those who are dicks about it should be called dicks. I think it's a difficult topic, made harder by those who get passionate on both sides. How about lactivists stop saying shit about how formula is poison and focus more on how to support women who choose to breastfeed and women who choose to or have to formula feed agree to be okay with women who breastfeed talking about how breastmilk can be kind of cool, and ways to improve formula? Because formula is a good option, but I think we can all agree that any product out there can be improved upon and maybe the studies into the components of breastmilk can better inform the ingredients in formula?

After all the trouble I went thru attempting to BF (and then EP) for my first kid, I likely won't even try with the 2nd. My life was a lot better when I chose to Let It Go. My H & family will probably have feels but they aren't the ones who lived/died by that fucking breast pump for 9 weeks before I finally said screw this.

I don't think socioeconomic backgrounds are at all mutually exclusive to conversations about white privilege.
What's not ok is when we are talking about white privilege, a white person denies that privilege because they're poor. The "I'm don't have privilege!" reaction.
Poor white people still have racial privilege. But I think we're all saying the same thing.

My 4 year old still sucks his thumb when he's tired. It drives h crazy for the reasons you mentioned but I'm kinda breezy about it.
I will be your H if he is still doing it when he is 4. That's part of the reason why I can't stop thinking about breaking the habit... like when he turns 2 (if he is still doing it).
I started smelling something in my kids room last week, so this past weekend I got everything out from under their bed and made them clean it up. There were probably 5 cups I had to throw away because of maggots. And the smell... a half eaten peach.
Yes. When I stopped BFing, I had several people harass me with long strings of questions. "Did you try this? What about this? Okay, but this. No? Then try this. You don't have to quit!"
So much this. Like- WTF. Why are you so invested? And the randoms that see you with a tiny baby and they ask you "Are you BF?" Like, why do you care? Who are you? Leave my boobs alone.
Alright here goes! Long time lurker first time confessing.
I still have my placenta hanging out in my freezer. I never wanted to encapsulate but my midwife brought it home with us just in case. My son is 14 months old and I'm pregnant with our second. I guess you can say I'm a little attached to it at this point. Hah, get it?!
