Rock and stick picking here too!!! Plus pinecones!!!!
Farmer's daughter here - I had to pick up rocks over 2000 acres of farmland before planting season. Do I win?
Another farmer's daughter. I had to pick rocks out of the fields. Dad would also make us go pick cockaburrs when we were driving my mom crazy. We would built forts in them before we pulled them out.
I was spanked too as a kid, but I'm not going to get into that debate.
FFFC: DD is awake from her nap, but I'm just letting her chill in the pack and play while I read this thread.
I was gonna post this as a whole new topic, but I'll post it here so it can hopefully stay FF. Where do you guys stand on spanking your children? Do/Will you spank? Totally against? In between? Let's hear it!!
Ok I am finally ready to confess...my pediatrician told me to try dairy free for a week to see if it helped lessen DS BM's as he has an average of 6-8 per day. This was at his 4 month check up...he is now 5 months and I still haven't tried. I keep finding excuses...mother of the year over here. Total mom fail...time I quit being selfish. (feels good to get that off my chest...oh the guilt I feel...if only I loved ice cream a little less)
Can I ask- why does it matter that he poops that often? Mine does too and frankly 6-8 poops a day >>>> one GIANT poop a day in my opinion
My FFFC: l went on my first night out since DS was born on Wednesday. A few ladies went to the pub for dinner and wine, when I got to the pub I checked my phone and I had some new notifications from the board so I sat and bumped (agh we really need a name for this) before I went in.

We "probe" here.
You probed before you went inside.
You were probing from your phone.
"Probing" was what got me here in the first place.... Seems fitting
Edit: I just realized I think like a 14 year old boy.
Maybe this is more of an UO but I don't see a problem with bringing my kids to a "bar" for lunch/early dinner. There are so many new places that have opened around us that serve really good food but a lot of them are considered more of a bar atmosphere at night. I'm not going to get a babysitter so I can go there to eat lunch. We took the boys to a place a couple days ago at lunch and there were only 2 other tables in the place. According to some douche in a Facebook group about local restaurants, we should avoid those places if we have children. I'm trying really hard not to start a fight with him.

I toally agree with you.
I wondered myself but pedi said it was not normal and could be a milk allergy as he is also pretty gassy and had one instance of blood in his stool a couple months back. I figure the least I can do is try...if I don't notice anything different I am totally back on the ice cream.
I don't want to get kicked out of the group though because we have discovered so many new hidden places because of it. I will probably just not go back to this particular bar which is sad because it is where I had the amazing nachos. But there were two comments about kids not really belonging there and the owner of the place liked them. To me that means you are supporting not bringing kids to your establishment. Makes no sense to me. When did children become the scourge on society.

I would say go more frequently but if the owner of the place liked them that would make me not want to support their establishment. Is it a chain out of curiosity? If you fill out a comment card or go online to their website and say you feel you are unwelcome with children due to what you have see on facebook they will have to address it.
Throw me in the spanking pool. But it will be more of a last resort sort of deal. I was only spanked once and it was by my grandma. My dad threatened "I'll spank your ass til your nose bleeds" a few times and that was enough to get me to stop what I was doing. I was a pretty good kid, though.

It isn't a chain. We are lucky to live in a city that has amazing local restaurants and breweries. I guess we wouldn't go there a ton anyway, but those nachos were like heaven in my mouth. I'm more annoyed that it seems like kids are welcome in less and less places.
The big kid we are struggling with, trying to get her into a developmental pedi to analyze some of her quirks, the regular pedi thinks it's just ADHD and wants to trial some meds.
The baby boy is doing well, just doing PT/OT to help him catch up. His motor development is quite delayed.

I'm with you on this one. Unless it says "must be 21 to enter" on the door, I'm likely going to bring my child(ren) there.
Agreed. I can't believe people side eye this. It's not like you're putting the baby carrier on the bar and ordering LO a whiskey sour.

I would straight up ask. "I love this place, but eating here means I will likely have my kids with me. I noticed you're liking comments that are unsupportive of people bringing kids to your restaurant. Are my children welcome or not?" See what they say. They probably don't realize how much business there is to lose.

There are quite a few people who have commented about how they bring their kids there. It is pretty obvious these d-bags are single guys who think kids don't belong anywhere and all the parents are like "screw that." I made a semi-snarky, semi-passive aggressive comment about how I didn't understand what makes a place "well suited" for kids. My toddler will eat anything. I'm fairly certain the Ethiopian restaurant we took him to at 15 months didn't have a kids menu and he loved the food.
I bring my kid to bars all the time. I wear him. He falls asleep in loud places. I've gotten nothing but high fives.
The 21 year old college girls are far louder, whinier and screamier than my 5 mo old could ever be.

Oh yeah. As annoying as my kids can be, they are nothing compared to how annoying 21 year old me was long ago. And the best part is they don't try to bring random guys home with them.

I would keep going there regardless if it's for those nachos.
We went to this new hipstery breakfast place the other day and they stared at us like we brought an alligator in with us when they saw LO. Get over people. Either you want my money or you don't.
I just got Botox done after a year of wrinkles. I didn't tell Hubbie And he keeps asking me what's different. I'm looking young bitch! That's what's different!
We were at a nicer restaurant in an airport and a couple asked the hostess to ask us to leave because they didn't want their dinner ruined. The hostess told them off and then brought us a dessert so we wouldn't feel bad. The best part is they got up and left but LO was passed out in the moby the entire time we were there, so they gave up a delicious meal for nothing. Ha!

I can't believe they wanted her to kick you out! Side-eyeing is one thing but that's WAAAY over the line! Crazy!
