I think I might put Corrine on the pre-made Formula. It actually looks like it might be cheaper. I can get a 6 pack of 32oz bottles of Similiac Advance for $40.00.

I did the math one day. It's really not any more expensive to use ready to feed. I can't stand the smell though.

So is there anything you ladies do get upset from?

Personally I can't stand racism! It makes me livid!

The 'A' word.
Religion (I'm a militant atheist)
Any child/animal abuse

Promise not to hate me because I go to church? I have other friends who are athiests. I believe everyone is entitles to their own belief or religion. I do get very annoyed with religious people (like MIL) who force their beliefs down other people's throats and judge everyone by their lofty (hah) standards.

I was told my thoughts make me a libertarian. Which is you're free to do as you please until your freedom hurts other people's rights. So, you can run around in the nude if you want. Although I might laugh at you freezing your ass off. You can breastfeed/bottlefeed/have a wetnurse, it's all good. But when your desires harm somebody else like neglecting your child or ridiculing others for not believing as you do, that's when I get upset.

Moving swiftly on...... what did everyone get LO for Xmas?

It's a long list. I shopping.

I also am a Christian and I HATE HATE HATE Sunday Christians.... my MIL goes to church, is even in the choir, and she is about the worse person I have ever met. No one is perfect, but she is just plain hateful and then goes to church and acts like she is a great person.... I don't know how she can look at herself in the mirror.

The funniest thing is my MIL watches TV religious programs and goes to church whenever it's open, but she completely misses the point of sermons. She lives with us and was watching Joyce Meyers the one morning. For the record, I cannot stand TV ministers, something about them squicks me out. But the woman is talking about people who are overly sensitive and offended having an immature spirit. Basically she was telling the viewers it's you, not the other people. My MIL is constantly offended by everyone and everyone is hurting her. Well, the whole sermon went over her head and she started going on about other people who are constantly offended.


I love your daughter's picture with Santa. Avery looks like she really wants to get off his lap.

Very similar to MIL. Being someone that has had a lot of shitty things happen to me- you only stop being a constant victim when you decide not to be.


TY-I love that pic of Corrine...she looked just so happy to be there!

I'm also a Christian but don't go to church. I can't find a church where the people aren't judgmental assholes. Those types of people make me so mad. The ones that are better than everyone else.

I agree with this. I would never tell someone how they think is wrong, everyone has different beliefs. My OH is atheist. Or he more likes to point out the science of it.

Anyway!


Sophia is getting wayy too much for Christmas. She won't even know whats going on. I think I counted 35 presents? 36? That I wrapped for her.

 

[cat lover]

I am not religious, but I have no problem with anyones religion so long as they don;t try and force it on others.

36? F*ck I've only got 4 for LO, she's too young to know its Xmas and I'm on maternnity pay!!

 

[MizzDeeDee]

Holy crap... Corrine has three.. the jumperoo and two wrapped gifts.

And my OH is an atheist of sorts too. I don't think it's a bad thing to have different viewpoints around a child.

 

[whit.]

Ummmm yeah. We only got her a few "big" presents though. I think 3. The others are books, clothes, bows, more books, I made her a blankey (can't wait to take a picture and show you cows- it's adorable), blocks, a stacker, more books,

 

[Neko]

36? I don't think I bought that many. But I had to buy birthday and Christmas.

She's getting these for Christmas.

But I got way better prices than those listed.

Did I buy her enough?

 

[whit.]

It doesn't matter how many things you got her, love! That's not what Christmas is about! I doubt I even get anything from my OH, but I'll be ok as long as we get to spend some time together. Maybe.

Like I said, we got her a lot of smaller things.

 

[cat lover]

Holy shit thats a lot of presents Neko!!!!!!

I think thats the highchair, I can't remember. I think it's different colors.

She's almost a year, she needs more toddler type things. That's the pain of having a birthday right around Christmas. I'm giving her everything she needs for the next year now. BTW, those are being divided between Christmas and her birthday on the 30th.

 

[cat lover]

Very generous. I feel sorry for LO now!

Avery has that dog in pink. She loves it now. It's a fun toy. It does have a habit of randomly turning itself on.

I like the way that high chair opens. Looks easier to get the baby out especially as they get bigger.

I got that puppy thing for Corrine here. It has a abnormally large head. I don't know why I notice that but everytime I see it I think- WTF is with this dog's head?


These are the two wrapped gifts for Corrine:

And she's getting some bits from my husband, but I don't know what they are! And then from MIL she's getting a high chair. And then I've got her some (lots of) clothes!

[XJessicaX]

I meant extremist religions and it being forced down people's throats! (maybe should have written that lol)
