I have officially realized why I HATE the "what to expect" app.. The women on there are so bitchy and mean. Some girl got ripped to shreds over a picture she posted of her crib because it has bumpers in it. She just said in the picture how she couldn't believe her baby would soon be here (something along those lines). Dear lord people, get over yourself. Is it your child? No didn't think so 👏🏼 glad this app actually gets rid of drama!
@caseclosed2015, lol yes!! I was like seriously abuse?! I got mine done when I was a baby so I wanted to get hers done also. I don't see a harm in it when they won't remember it. Also when their babies they won't touch them as much as if they are older. I always tell people to do what they think is best. Good thing you're a strong person! Stay that way :)
OMG really abuse??? People and their opinions. My daughters all had their ears pierced by 3 months. They don't even remember it. I have posted their about circumcision and of course the claws came out I'm a very strong minded person. I was sure to let them know that I wasn't asking for you to help me decide what u have to say is of no relevance to me.
@caseclosed2015, i am using one also but like you, my daughter won't even sleep in it for awhile. She has a bassinet for our room. Thank god I don't have a boy because I wouldn't want to have that conversation with anyone! Lol but I've had people bash me on WTE because I want to get my daughters ears pierced. The women were saying that's abuse
I just saw a post like that from my WTE group. I've been using that app less and less since being here. For reasons like this. I have decided to use the mesh bumper for my babu as I had with my older children. And just bcuz someone tells me not to doesn't mean I won't. My baby won't sleep in his crib and way until many months down the line. They are the same way when it comes to circumcision. Lord please don't ever start that convo there.
@dollfacenanii, I agree. I don't mind if one or two people would give me advice because there's thing I'm sure I'm not aware of. Again ftm here but to seriously have people say stuff over and over then just keep being even more mean about it is ridiculous to me
Very true. I'm just going to make the best decision I can't for my child the best way I know how. @kmally
@gabrielle_d, the women on there are rude thats why i dont use it they are quick to attack if they see something they dont like :/ its so rude like its not your child to say what women can do & cant do
There really are. All you can do is research and make the choice you want to make. No matter what you choose about ANYTHING someone will tell you you're wrong :( so sad.
Yeah I know. I'm a ftm and feel like I can't do anything because someone somewhere will tell me it's wrong. @cryssibug
I've never heard that before...there are so many dos and donts with pregnancy and children now.. @gabrielle_d @kmally
I can't tell you how many people kept throwing the statistics in her face. She was nice about it and said thanks for the info but she was still gonna use them.. Nope those women continued to attack her @kmally
I only watch the videos I have never liked the people on there
Apparently it causes SIDS and decreases the oxygen in the crib.. I never heard of this but there's so many "things" that can cause SIDS. I feel like you can't win @cryssibug
@cryssibug, they can be a suffocation hazard. But a lot of moms still chose to use them. Someone could have mentioned it nicely but people in that app attack. Like big time. And there's no admin looking out for it like there is here.
Nope & it has rules about no bashing or saying mean stuff but yet it happens in every post I see. No one does anything about it so why even make rules lol @kmally
@gabrielle_d, what's wrong with bumpers?? I thought they were a good thing..
So true. And I hate the set up of that app. Not at all user friendly.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
yes ma'am get your little girls ears pierced if you want to. She's your baby.
