    Sad about daughter

    Oh and in the interest of full disclosure I am IP's wife. Our daughter is 3 and has been attached to us differently at different points of her life, right now, it's all about me. But do you know why your child is not attached to you? BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT MEETING HER NEEDS. Leaving a 3 month...

    Sad about daughter

    Are you really making a 3 month old CIO? :( My heart hurts. Seriously. Even the most staunch supporters of CIO (something I strongly oppose) say not to do it before 3 months. At 3 months your baby NEEDS you.

    Hi! I'm doing great. IP and I have been married for a little over 5 years and have a 2.5 year old daughter. It's crazy how time flies. How are you doing?

    Does anyone remember me? I haven't posted consistently on CF in years, but there are still a few names I remember on here. :wave:

    Meeting CF people...

    Lol I just randomly logged in today and saw this. :) We're doing very well. IP is in the Air Force and has been for 3.5 years, we have a 2.5 year old daughter (holy cow!!), and I'm a SAHM. How are you doing?

    What do you do when your son/daughter falls?

    My daughter isn't at that stage yet but when I would watch other kids of that age I'd try to keep my reaction as neutral as possible (unless they were actually hurt, but I'd try not to freak out). My friend would tell kids "come here and I'll help you up" and they would walk over to her and...

    I knew this was coming, but ALREADY?!?

    FWIW, I started leaking at 18 weeks and I never had major problems with it leaking through clothes. The leaking didn't get worse until the last couple of weeks of my pregnancy and my milk came in 3 days after I delivered. I think its not too uncommon to be leaking that early, but its definitely...

    Do you ever get jealous of other marriages?

    No, I don't at all. I am extremely happy in marriage. More often I realize how blessed I am that I married the man that I did when I see some other's marriages from the outside.

    Other kids...

    Seriously? I think I'm going to need to walk away from this thread. Your whole attitude towards children sickens me and the name calling just pushes it over the top. And just so you know, I actually HAVE worked in a Walmart. In fact all of my jobs have been in the public or child care...

    wife wants to start trying

    I still disagree with you but we may just have to agree to disagree. I don't think reading books or having a degree will make you a better or more effective parent but that's my opinion and based off of my experience in working with tons of different families. I'm totally not discounting what...

    wife wants to start trying

    My mistake then, I didn't make myself clear and I apologize for that. That's what I get for posting and talking on the phone at the same time lol. Studies don't always paint the whole picture though. I'm not discounting what you're saying at all, I am saying though that just because a person...

    wife wants to start trying

    I think you're missing my point. Of course those factors may point to more successful parenting but they don't have to be present for a parent to be successful. I didn't like the generalization that all young, uneducated, poor, and single parents were not as good as those that are older...

    wife wants to start trying

    I just don't think that because you are young it automatically means you are poor or making bad choices. I don't like sweeping generalizations and the assumption that because you are young or uneducated means you will be a bad parent gets to me. None of what you said was specific to age at all...
