that he had? |

year the child is 6, right? |

20:12:57 |

Doesn't get them? Does that mean I'm too
obtuse? Or too imbecilic? |

this summer? |
|
20:15:47 |
hathor |
Yeah, I've been trapped on this side of
the 405 |
|
20:16:14 |
hathor |
We would love to do some beach days...we
go lots and will always go more! |
|
20:16:16 |
rosalind |
i think patti might be out of the loop,
but maybe i'll start up the beach days
again for our group |
|
20:16:55 |
hathor |
That would be great, and Wednesdays are
a really good time. |
|
20:17:15 |
hathor |
So Tina, Yay! Some more mamas! |
|
20:17:47 |
hathor |
Let's talk about something! Any
questions? |
|
20:18:19 |
Webmama_Tina |
yay! sorry was posting on amity |
|
20:18:29 |
Webmama_Tina |
took longer than anticipated cuz my
computer was screwing up |
|
20:18:37 |
hathor |
Hey, while we have a lull can you check
out this?
http://www.thecowgoddess.com/blog/archshow.asp?var=246 |
|
20:18:49 |
Webmama_Tina |
since we're slow today, lets just keep
this casual |
|
20:19:15 |
hathor |
Don't read the whole letter from the
nutjob husband supporter, just halfway
and then go blah, blah, blah |
|
20:19:15 |
Webmama_Tina |
i'll just let y'all talk when you
like...if it gets busier and starts to
get a bit crazy, then we'll switch to
moderated |
|
20:19:36 |
hathor |
But then, read the Dairy Farmer's
response! He's a riot! |
|
20:19:46 |
HippyMom |
OMG that's horrible |
|
20:19:53 |
Beating_Earth |
I guess I missed something |
|
20:20:07 |
hathor |
I can say that can't I about a Um guy I
know/pseudonym? |
|
20:20:35 |
HippyMom |
speaking of babies, brb |
|
20:20:54 |
Beating_Earth |
So what kind of things go along with
attatchment parenting?? |
|
20:21:01 |
hathor |
Did you hear about the husband on strike
and the petition and then the counter
petition? |
|
20:22:14 |
hathor |
Well, at my house AP includes
homebirthing, breastfeeding, slinging,
co-sleeping, and unschooling...but it
varies enormously in different families |
|
20:22:33 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh my, what a really sad woman that is
(just read the letter) |
|
20:22:37 |
leahmichal |
what exactly is the husband petitioning
for? it seems like he just wants
everyone to whine with him. |
|
20:22:43 |
hathor |
AP is mostly spending your time with
your kids, because you prefer them |
|
20:22:49 |
Beating_Earth |
I plan on homebirthing, breastfeeding
and slinging |
|
20:22:59 |
Beating_Earth |
I plan on staying at home with them |
|
20:23:00 |
hathor |
He's petitioning to get the kids out of
the bedroom |
|
20:23:28 |
Beating_Earth |
we are gonna kind of co-sleep. the baby
will be beside our bed in a bassinet |
|
20:23:30 |
hathor |
Good Beating_Earth , then you're AP do
you have any kids yet? |
|
20:23:50 |
Beating_Earth |
no we are TTC#1 |
|
20:24:03 |
Webmama_Tina |
yeah i just don't get why people would
want a baby in another room....it just
makes NO sense to me |
|
20:24:04 |
Beating_Earth |
whats this letter you guys ar talking
about |
|
20:24:13 |
hathor |
Well, I'm rooting for you! |
|
20:24:17 |
Webmama_Tina |

|
20:24:18 |
Beating_Earth |

20:24:53 |

|
20:25:00 |
Webmama_Tina |
such an exciting time, beating earth |
|
20:25:05 |
Webmama_Tina |
i remember when we were ttc #1 |
|
20:25:22 |
Webmama_Tina |
all my dreams were coming true...such a
sweet time...all the anticipation was so
exciting! |
|
20:25:29 |
HippyMom |
ok, sorry, babies won't sleep |
|
20:25:38 |
Webmama_Tina |
i hear ya hippymom |
|
20:25:57 |
hathor |
You're far more AP than I was,
Beating_Earth, I had never heard of
midwifery, only wanted to breastfeed
because I knew it was cheap! |
|
20:26:06 |
Webmama_Tina |
to our latecomers---since we're small
tonite we're going casual chat...feel
free to join in! |
|
20:26:40 |
hathor |
Look how far I've come, I'm practically
a spokesperson! |
|
20:27:02 |
Webmama_Tina |
lol heather...i learned about it when i
was pg #2 (miscarried my first)...the
lady i was nannying for had dr sear's
baby book, ezzo's babywise (*shudder*)
and ferber's book.... |
|
20:27:15 |
Beating_Earth |
yeah well, its my fear of hospitals
that is why i want a home birth |
|
20:27:15 |
Webmama_Tina |
after looking through them all i was
really drawn to sears...thank god! |
|
20:27:33 |
Webmama_Tina |
if i hadn't had them side by side like
that i might have done things
differently...i just thought everyone
let their babies cry themselves to
sleep! |
|
20:27:35 |
rosalind |
hospitals are so scary |
|
20:27:42 |
Beating_Earth |
sorry about my typing, cat is lying on
my arm |
|
20:27:43 |
hathor |
How lucky Webmama_Tina that she had
Dr. Sears! |
|
20:27:49 |
Webmama_Tina |
yes! |
|
20:28:04 |
Webmama_Tina |
sadly, she did make her baby cry to
sleep, and subsequently so did i :( |
|
20:28:08 |
Webmama_Tina |
her baby, not mine |
|
20:28:11 |
HippyMom |
I always felt it was unnatural, even as
a babysitter, to let them cry it out |
|
20:28:16 |
Webmama_Tina |
but i learned differently for my own! |
|
20:28:23 |
hathor |
Hospitals are really scary. When I gave
birth in one, without drugs or
interventions they acted like I was a
freak of nature |
|
20:28:27 |
Webmama_Tina |
yeah it didn't feel right |
|
20:28:34 |
Webmama_Tina |
but i wanted to do what the mom wanted
me to do |
|
20:28:37 |
Webmama_Tina |
:( |
|
20:28:42 |
Webmama_Tina |
i still feel bad sometimes about that |
|
20:28:45 |
HippyMom |
I did the same |
|
20:28:50 |
HippyMom |
felt horrid |
|
20:28:52 |
HippyMom |
ick |
|
20:29:03 |
hathor |
I was a nanny in a similar
experience...thank god we learn a better
way when we meet our own kids! |
|
20:29:15 |
Webmama_Tina |
thank heavens for all the wonderful
stuff on the net and all the great books
on attachment style parenting! |
|
20:29:32 |
hathor |
And really makes you wonder why so many
people rely on the expertise of nannys,
huh? |
|
20:29:42 |
Beating_Earth |
im gonna be so happy to have a baby ill
never want to put it down |
|
20:29:50 |
Webmama_Tina |
i probably would have tended towards
this style anyway eventually...but to
find all that just validated it and made
me feel strong in it |
|
20:29:57 |
HippyMom |
With my first, I never read anything, I
just went on instinct... he slept on my
chest for 6 months because I was afraid
he'd stop breathing |
|
20:30:04 |
Webmama_Tina |
beating earth...and don't let anyone
tell you that that's wrong! :) |
|
20:30:10 |
HippyMom |
exactly |
|
20:30:13 |
