That's great :) But if you're a new mom, suffering from PPD or just down in general, having ppl tell you you're a horrible mom for not BF or you didn't try hard enough could have a negative impact on you. I wish women could be nicer to each other especially when it comes to BF/FF.

Same here - although we live in California :D

My stress levels were extremely high and my depression was horrible while I BF. I didn't like it. I gave up after a few weeks/months and I never looked back. Boy did I get flack from it from women/moms who where BFers. I heard all the statistics and was given so much 'info' I never asked for...

The one time we had a real emergency (man died) the pastor and entire congregation began praying for the person. We prayed even with the firemen/ambulance taking him away.

I started offering veggies to the boys when they were under a year. IF they didn't like a veggie they had to eat 2 pcs. After a few times their palate developed and they would eat it. They are now 5 & 7 and eat every veggie happily except cauliflower. I'm working on that though :P

I was super hairy. I started when I was 12/13. I wish my mom took me to get waxed instead. If I had a daughter I would do the waxing at 12/13.

YS class didn't have a Vday party so we just sent Valentine Day cards with candy. OS class did have a party and parents signed up for different items. I sent cupcakes. He also had valentine day cards with tattoos.

I've gotten the VaX required for school. I didn't sign a 'religious waver' since I didn't think it applied. My children are very rarely ill (so far no colds or flu this year). I don't do the flu shots nor did I do the H1N1 flu shot. LOL. I know the opposite. All my friends who opted out...

I ask the kiddos what they'd like in their lunch. Leftovers (soup, stew, chicken, burritos, pasta) in a thermos container is what they request the most :) Sandwiches (use a variety of meat/cheese and it keeps it different) Bagels w/ cream cheese (if I go this route I include a protein like...

Ha! That was funny :) Thanks MsDahl :)

Kiddos sent letters to Santa so I know what they wanted :P

All our family is one hour away. We see them once a week. Families @ kiddos school that have g-ma/g-pa in other states see them once a year.

I replied in WD.

agree.

:) We didn't give our kiddos a choice. We put undies on them and told them they had to use the bathroom. OS peed in his underwear a few times and didn't like the feeling (we had bowel movements taken care of earlier :P ) YS caught on quickly too. Both were about 2 years old.
