jillywilly I have done that once with DD also. It was only a short drive but it scared the crap out of me and now I am super paranoid and check way too many times when we go anywhere.
I guess my FFFC is that I DO know when DHs and my "sex anniversary" is. We tried really hard to wait til we were married and we dated for 3 years. We made it til 2 weeks before our wedding. It was also the first time for both of us.
jillywilly I've forgotten to buckle the seatbelt (not the car seat harness) when we've taken her in one of our cars without the base. I've done it twice and I know my mom did it once. My friend did the same thing when she brought her daughter in my car too. We generally only drive her in our SUV which has the base so aren't used to strapping the seat in with a seatbelt. We always double check now when we aren't using the base though.
This is really weird, and I've never really thought about it but,
Sometimes when my H is hanging out of me and trying to French kiss me I put a deep voice on and say something like "your a lovely kisser". Because I know he will stop at me because he doesn't want to think about kissing a man. But then I find it really funny and want to keep doing it.
I don't... get it.. does this mean you are having sex and you don't want to kiss him, or he is trying to initiate sex and you don't want to?

FFFC: I know our 1st date, 1st sleepover (what else do you call two adults sleeping in the same bed without having sex at 19/20), 1st ST, and to add to that we actually have two wedding anniversaries.
Same as billyhorrible, we just made up a date. We dated for 10 years before we were married so it got to the point where we needed some kind of anniversary. We didn't really celebrate anything, it was just when that day rolled around we would be like "8 years together!".
My FFFC: DS (3.5) has a horrible double ear infection. It's the first ear infection he has ever had that I am aware of. He also has never been on antibiotics. Doc (actually, reluctantly) prescribed some and a small part of me wanted to see if he could recover on his own with just pain meds, because I didn't want to break our 3.5 year streak of no antibiotics.
I'm sorry about your DSs ear infection. My confession is Doctor related. At Ali's 6 month check up the doctor mentioned our town doesn't add fluoride to our water so she said I should be buying flouride toothpaste and rubbing it on her teeth. haven't done this yet 3 months later
I actually know our dating anniversary because it's the same as our wedding anniversary (long story actually lol). Otherwise I would have no clue I'm bad enough with our anniversary date. We are 5 years this month so going out for supper and a movie tomorrow to celebrate since mh will be gone for it.
I have a lot of regrets about my wedding, and one of them is not getting married on our existing anniversary. I think it's really cool you did.

I always thought flouride was a no-no for babies and kids. Isn't that why most kids toothpastes are "flouride free?" Am I remembering this wrong?
I don't know but my doctor told us that I should be putting fluoride on their teeth...I'm not sure what to do. Since we are in a new town I still have to find them a new doctor so I guess I'll get a 2nd opinion

Most kids pastes now do have fluoride in them in small amounts. Some of the baby toothpastes are fluoride free. Up until about age 3 (or sooner if your kid is capable of spitting out the toothpaste) your only need to use a very small smear of toothpaste on the brush. That way they are getting some topical fluoride on their teeth but they aren't ingesting enough to cause an upset stomach or fluorosis. I believe most pediatricians are starting fluoride varnish treatments at well visits once your LO has teeth in once or twice a year. The varnish is sticky and adheres to the tooth surface to provide maximum absorbency and less ingestion.
I would check with your pediatrician once you find one in your new town because local fluoride levels vary and every doctor has different views.

Did you have 2 weddings?
I'm assuming they got married in a courthouse type situation first and then had a more traditional wedding later?

We had a (legal) courthouse ceremony on the 13th and our wedding ceremony on the 22nd. My Grandaddy performed our wedding ceremony, which meant the world to me, but he isn't an ordained minister so 'legally' he couldn't marry us.

Wut? Please give your baby those antibiotics. Ear infections can cause permanent damage if you don't treat them...why the big deal about not giving antibiotics...I don't get it. Do you win some kind of award for never giving them?
Girl, calm down. I said my confession was that PART OF ME didn't want to give because we made it so long. I went straight to the pharmacy and administered them immediately. ETA and no, no award. It's not like I withheld them for his whole life, he's never needed them before now and I was a little bummed the time had come.

Totally understand. Walker has never needed antibiotics and is 3 1/2. Texas Ranger needed them for a cold at the 3 month mark and for a double ear infection at 8 months. Obviously my fault because I breastfed W and gave TR formula I just felt like we needed some Clueless here...
FFFC: I only read the last page of the Friday randoms. I'd love to know what all is going on with everyone today but I am so far beyond exhausted and am just basically trying to keep myself awake for a few minutes to change the diapers to the dryer.

Life twins.
FFFC: I ordered more curriculum (2nd grade) for DD today because if I don't start her on it as soon as she's done witht the current stuff (less than a month left), I'd be hella tempted to be all "Summer's here early, sweetie!" and do nothing educational with her at all. The weather is starting to suck less, and I'm all for playing outside all day.
@jemomma I never once said that. I said once that my children's pediatrician believes that most ear infections can be overcome without antibiotics. I am pretty sure this isn't a rare opinion, at least where I live it's pretty common practice to avoid doling out antibiotics at the drop of a hat. Even still, I was talking strictly about ear infections. I really don't consider myself bragging about anything. My child is sick, I'm bummed about it. I am in no way putting down others who have had to use antibiotics. So if I came on here talking about my how LO is eating all the solids and how much he is pulling up and crawling, am I putting down any moms whose will hardly eat anything or who aren't even rolling over yet? No, because I actually AM that mom, who is happy for all the active/crawling and healthy eating babies on here. I feel like I've been nothing but supportive on this board. I'm sorry you feel like I'm here to brag, but something tells me you're the only one offended by my post.
@jemomma I'm mobile so I can't go back to the thread. But we weren't talking about ear infections? ETA Read the thread and that's how I remember it. I don't see anything in there about not taking antibiotics for any medical issue. A cold/sniffle/cough (usually the cause for a an ear infection) is not a medical issue. I stand by everything I said. I'm pretty sure it's implied that I felt sad my kid was sick. It was confession day, I didn't come into a random thread and make the announcement. The confession was that I felt sad about having to give the meds even though I know I shouldn't-was that not the point of the thread? In any case, thank you, he feels better today. ETA tag
Well obviously it hit some serious year-old, nerves with @jemomma! But whatever, it wasn't meant to put down any other moms on this board who have used antibiotics (hell, LO has already been on them) and I already said I didn't specifically withhold them to keep a "streak" going, he's just never needed them. But I do think going 3.5 years is an interestingly long time and not nutty to be disappointed about breaking. Flame worthy, sure it could be which is why I posted it. Personally I feel jemomma is picking on me a little, but that's nothing new. She can ride into the sunset with her antibiotics and pop tarts
Detective poppy here weighing in. veggiemo I just asked the three doctors I know and they all three told me that most ear infections go away on there own without antibiotics. They also all agreed that every cold and cough does not need a doctors attention and it really depends on the comfort level of the parent.
They did say if a baby under 6 months has an ear infection they always give antibiotics if it has been over 2 days with symptoms getting worse.
So based on this info I wouldn't say her opinion is asinine

Welcome player 3 to the game...
While it may be true that antibiotics are not always needed to cure an ear infection, I find it asinine that any parent would stand by and watch their child suffer an ear infection while doing nothing about it. Also to the bolded, I agree with and even agreed with her at the time of her original opinion, no one is even discussing a cold/cough treatment here, so let's stay on topic.
In any case, I thought we had decided to agree to disagree/drop the discussion yesterday. veggiemo feeling the need to complain and whine and say I am "picking on her" is ridiculous and very AW if you ask me. She posted, I responded. Get over it.
Slow your roll girl. Let's stay on topic? How about this is an open forum and we can talk about anything we want here. cool? K fine bye.
