Times when you've had to bite your tongue

[robinator]

When mil tells me that we really need to be working on the ABC's. Like serious, sitting down with flash cards working

Lane can't do the ABCs yet? J finished the ABCs ages ago and is working on binomial expression atm.

Yeah, well.......she can point to her ears. Hmph.

I lied about that being my last one. I need to switch grocery stores, obv. J's favorite food is paper. He stole my grocery list and ate the section listing which meats I needed to buy for the month. I got it back and said, "You ate all the meat!" and got a death glare from a woman next to me who said, "You gave a baby that young meat? He should only be having baby cereal mixed with his formula." I was absolutely speechless.

I don't understand how it's not ok to complain about AP parenting but the AP parents can say that CIO is abuse?

I just don't understand how at times the forum seems to cater to certain groups

Excuse me?

We do NOT just cater for certain groups, I know exactly what you're getting at and this argument with the team got boring a long time ago. If you have a problem with 'this' forum and how it is ran maybe reconsider if this is the right place for you or move on.

I replied to this thread only, if you feel we have missed anything please feel free to report the post ... I would like to inform you though not all situations that have been acted on are always public (so maybe you shouldn't assume).

If you wish to take this up further please feel free to PM me your feedback. I am too busy to come back regularly to check for replies on individual threads.

Spag bol is:

Spaghetti

Bolognese sauce:
Onions
Mince
Tomatoes
Kidney beans
Garlic

You can add other herbs and veggies into the sauce though, and I use baked beans instead of kidney beans.

That. Sounds. Amazing.

Thats either sarcasm or your easily pleased

When it comes to food, I am easily pleased!!

I was sooo hungry while I was reading this thread yesterday... Now I'm craving spaghetti.

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Here's my rant for today:

I don't like it when people assume that because you're home-schooled, you're unintelligent.

On the flip side, it also makes me quite angry that there are so many people homeschooling that obviously aren't prepared or don't have the time to dedicate to it.

I decided to change it up and went to a traditional public high school for 11th and 12th grade. Although I still prefer the home-schooled environment, it was fulfilling to graduate with high honors after taking all AP classes, especially considering some members of my family assumed that all I did was sit on my butt all day while I was home-schooled.

I honestly don't understand the need to berate either method of schooling. What works for some doesn't work for others.

I had to bite my tongue a little while ago when I saw a woman on the bus pre-chewing crisps for her baby. I'm talking putting a crisp in her mouth, chewing it up, getting the mush on her finger & then putting her finger in her babies mouth.

I'm not being funny, but regardless of age (I'm unsure how old this baby was 6/7 months maybe) if your baby can't chew something, don't give it to them! Wait until they can.

Also, the sight was fairly disgusting too.

I have to bite my tongue with people that wind children up then laugh at them. My family do it to my LO & I don't keep my mouth shut with them. Like, taking his dummy out & laughing when he cries. It's sick. I hate it.

I have relatives like this too, when my son was crawling they liked to grab his back legs so that he couldn't go forwards! It used to frustrate and upset my son, but they found it hilarious! Poor boy winding babies up is not cool, it can make them frustrated x

 

[Lynzeigh]

I hate the way that "Men" in particular comment when my son cries or plays with a pram, doll etc,,,"He will turn out to be a big fairy if you let him play with them toys" or "Stop crying like a gay boy/little poof"

I find these comments so offensive! Not just offensive towards my son but also offended for those who are gay, speaking like they are freaks, they are people too! And playing with toys won't make someone gay fgs!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

My little boy and his best friend sometimes hold hands and tell each other "I love you" and his step dad apparently said "gay" when he found out. Can't he just see it for the absolutely adorable thing it is. And also is concerned because DS's friend skips sometimes. Seriously apparenatly skipping makes him gay. He's just a little boy having fun and showing affection for his friend

The rest of you are pretty cool, too.

Thank you for the limericks ladies God I love you girls

I was at the sea life centre in Brum today and saw a couple AP-looking parents and kept wondering if they were on b&b I was the one who was giving her baby chocolate while strapped in his icandy drinking coke (I joke) if your on here

I have to bite my tongue when medical professionals forget that my kids are individuals and they can't be grouped in all these studies. I just spent 24 hours trying to convince my son's dr that he has a sinus infection. "Oh no, he has a stomach virus because he threw up"...ummm he threw up because his temperature spiked...just like he always does. The poor boy had been complaining of a headache all week.

Early weaning with no good cause or research or medical advise hurts me.
I'm not a fan of sleep training, screaming at, smacking, humilating children either.
