I have a meeting tonight. I was going to bring B. Now I'm panicking because one of the attendees posted this and I'm not sure if that means the child she's bringing is unvaccinated. WWYD? Bring him or make other arrangements?
I would probably flat out ask her if she vaccinated her kid(s) that will be at the meeting. Stating that - while yes, it's her right to choose that it's also her responsibility to let parents know so they exercise their right to choose whether or not they want their kids around hers.
Sorry to any anti-vax people here but I think if you aren't going to vax, you have an obligation to let whoever you are around know. (UO?)

WTF?!
Honestly, depending on the type of meeting, I'd still take LO and wear him. If you still live in an area with high rates and the kids aren't symptomatic or any reports of any outbreaks, there's very little chance of anything happening. Still, WTAF and a huge side-eye to the person posting that...

Bring him. I might be jaded because I live in a very anti-vax rich area, so I have long ago come to terms that my baby is going to encounter unvaxxed kids whether I know it or not. I'm not going to live in a bubble!

I agree with you about just having to deal. The real concern is her kiddo is newly school age so I have no idea what what she's carrying around because kids are gross, lol
University. University is a TW. MH just got his teaching and class schedule for next semester. The classes he's teaching start at 8AM. The classes he's taking end at 7:30PM. Five days a week. Factor in commute, and he's gone for dinner and bedtime every night. Three kids, one parent.

If it was just other babies, I MIGHT say just go and be careful. But school kids are like petri dishes. Nope.
No matter what you do, I'd find out for sure, just in case she liked that picture but got her kids shots anyway.
I'm nominating my scale. I have crept back up to right around what I weighed the day before A was born, when I was admitted to the hospital. This is about 15 pounds more than I weighed at the start.
How dare you, scale. How dare you.
DH and I really need to work on losing weight.
I joined a dietbet. I have to lose 10% of my weight in six months. You bet money that you can do it and it goes into a pot. Then they take the pot and split it in half. The first half is split again in 5. This is for the first 5 months. The second half for the last month. They have a smaller goal for you each month and whoever meets their goal gets to split the pot for that month. It's been a huge motivator to me because I bet 125 (would be 150 if I didn't pay all at once) that I could do it. I don't want to lose that money. My first check in is between 15th - 16th and I only need to lose one more pound to hit my first goal. I'm also doing weight watchers to ensure I'm eating enough with nursing.
The first round is about 2300 bucks. The 2nd-5th is about 2800 (more ppl joined after it started and before it closed). The last month is about 9500. Again these numbers are split between those that reach their goal. Total number in my dietbet is 171.
Now I know what you are thinking. People can cheat. That's hard because you have to get a full body photo with you standing on a scale. Then a photo with a secret word in the photo showing your weight. They give you the secret word and then you have 24 hrs to report. Then they have a team review the photos to see if they are authentic.

I tried to call and of course no answer. She POSTED it not liked it. Lol I'm with the others. WTAF!
Also, Carters, you and the sheer number of those clear plastic ties you use on your clothing is GD ridiculous. Please kindly go burn in hell because I just spent an hour removing all the tags from his next size up in clothing for washing.
Everyone who constantly says "I think she's pooping." No. She's not. She makes noises, that's what babies do. Trust me, you will hear it when she poops.
I get overly defensive on her behalf.
+1 to this. I thought I was just being a curmudgeon but it really pisses me off. Especially the 'oh, I think that's your poop face.' Gross.
People won't hear his poop but they will smell it!!
My nipples win today. Please just heal already! A is over 4 weeks old and we've been using the nipple shield for 1.5 weeks. The ENT thinks her arched palate and lip tie/tongue tie was still causing damage through the shield. Sigh...
I nominate the neighbours' cat who is a total bitch! She hisses and swipes at us every time we try to pet her. I brought B over today and he was laying on the sofa napping and the cat came right over and hissed at him. Then my neighbour says "she's just talking" and "she's just curious". No, your cat is nasty and if she touches my baby I'll boot her across the room.
My neighbour is actually due with their first tomorrow... It should be interesting when they bring baby home.
I sense your neighborhood will have an outside cat soon.
I'm not wishing for winter, but bring on colder overnight temps to kill these gd flies!
Yes!!! Seriously I had to dump a whole cup of coffee this morning because by the time I had changed the baby and got him latched there were two dead flies in there. What a waste of pumpkin spice creamer.

I nominate the door to door salesman who came to my house. It took me a good hour and a half to get LO down. Five minutes later, this TW knocked on my door. Dogs went nuts, baby woke up. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

+1. Every. Single. Time. She poops once a week, trust me it's just gas.
@piedpiper07 that Is rough. There had definitely been since overwhelmed ugly crying here before too. Can your DH take care of the kids when he gets home while you either nap or take a shower (helps me feel like a person). I find even if I know my day is going to suck if I know there is some promised relief it helps me hold it together. Here's hoping you get a break and feel slightly better after crying it out.
My TW is anyone tells me that my newborn is throwing a fit. I was going though cluster feeding hell and visiting family. I was feeding the baby for the 20th time because baby was crying to be fed. Someone said, "There's no way he is hungry again, he is just throwing a fit."
Nelson is fussy everytime we have company in the evening. I think it could be that he picks up on my get the eff out vibe, so No, my baby doesn't have colic asshole, just stfu and get out!
@piedpiper07 That's rough! I can't imagine having a baby and toddler. Hang in there.
maggiemae85 I pretty much hate when people come to my door under any circumstances, but that sounds super frustrating. I basically don't answer the door if H isn't home. Corralling 2 dogs plus a baby just to say "I'm not interested" is too much work. Plus, you know, murderers.

I pretend I'm not home if someone knocks or rings the bell when I'm alone. If I knew you, you would have called. idgaf if they know I'm home either. Not answering.

I so agree. I was thinking of putting up a sign:
Please don't knock or ring bell. Just text or call me and I'll be right out.
In other words unless you are in possession of my phone number, GTFO.
I'm considering having DH deactivate the ringer on our doorbell. And I like that sign idea. My dumbass dog goes batshit crazy at any noise from outside that sounds like it's by the door. So I have a heart attack because the house is usually very quiet, then the doorbell scares me, then the instantaneous dog barking scares me. I don't have time to get the dog calmed back down, plus deal with a shrieking, terrified infant, plus deal with whatever jackass didn't tell me they were coming by.

I have rage issues with the doorbell lol.
The previous owners cut the doorbell off at the wires outside...we've lived here 2 years and never replaced it. Plus we usually lock the glass storm door so we can barely hear anybody knocking.

My mom has made me a sign:
"sleeping baby (then in small letters) dream on protective dogs (woof woof) tired (tired tired) mom please don't knock (or ding dong)"
It seems a lot nicer than the one I was going to make today, which consisted of "solicitors will be shot on sight" written on printer paper and taped to the door.
