I love AP posts that ask "Have I created a monster?"
Because the answer is always YES. A year old and can't ride in the back seat alone? Nursing while in the back seat while you're both still strapped in? Yes, you've clearly created a monster.

What's the deal with forcing a favorite toy on your kid? After Vinny's story, this sounds like a terrible idea. Also sounds like it was more important for the mom for the kid to have some sort of toy. The last line reeks of "WITH GOD AS MY WITNESS MY DAUGHTER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE WITHOUT ME."
Does she have a lovey? Emmy just recently started really loving dolls or stuffed animals. We have a 10inch waldorf doll that she carries EVERYWHERE. She loves that thing, and will cry for it if she doesn't have it. She holds it in her sleep, in the car, at the store, etc. I did sort of push it on her- at first she liked it but didn't care if she didn't have it. I kept handing it to her, showing her how to hug/pat the baby, etc and it worked. She doesn't really take a bottle so I wanted her to have SOMETHING that she could carry around when I'm working all day, kwim?
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
I do believe this is the official motto of attachment parenting.
Here's another AP gem, shame on Lanie for not sharing it with us:

The YouTube breastfeeding in public flash mob is absolutely cringe worthy.

Nursing while both mom & baby are strapped in sounds really uncomfortable and I think if I drove past a car and saw this, I'd get into an accident.
I also don't really get the woman who drives in the back because she wants to not because the kid wants or needs her to.
That line seemed rather defensive, like she was anticipating criticism there. I'd bet she doesn't keep her own seatbelt on and maybe even takes the kid out of the seat.

DING DING DING! God forbid the kid cries.

I get that vibe from a lot of them. But I particularly like the siggy with "Resistance is futile-you will be breastfed, Em."
This one about purposely biting while nursing creeped me the eff out. If my kid gave me a big smile then bit my nip (though I would likely stop before teeth), I would be done done D-O-N-E done.

Not to mention, that kid is more than a year old and doesn't need to be nursing anymore. Yeah, I'd be done.
I'm dreading teeth.

I want this lady to draw a diagram for real.

I'm this-ing you. Over the past few days without E, it really has become apparent that Andy didn't really "need" him. We look back on all of the times that we shoved E in Andy's face. The kid is sleeping just as he always has. Life is totally normal. He even went back to sucking his thumb (this, we weren't as happy that it went back to normal).
Honestly, I think my H and I were (are?) projecting our concept of loss on him. He doesn't get it. He is fine that he no longer has this object. Yet, we still feel some sort of grief over a stupid stuffed animal. There is too much loss in life. The kid sure as hell doesn't need to have us teaching him that now.
And, thank you for bringing AP back into my life. Always a good time indeed. EC? Really? It deserves a congratulations??
E is going to dump B and I the second he can unlock the front door apparently. I never nursed in the back seat while the car was moving (nor have given him a bottle in the car), and neither of us sit in the back with him, ever. Oh, wait, I think once, at 1am coming home from a friends house whom have a kid the same age (E's BFF for lack of a better description), B sat in the back to keep him awake. I didn't want him to fall asleep in the car so I made B sit there and entertain him.
I hate that board. It's just way too hard to read without answering everything with, "Really?" or "WTF?". When I just don't get the way someone/people think, I just walk away these days.
It's critical that your children sit in the place that is most comfortable for them! I only know this because my sister says her two children, son, aged 28 and daughter, aged 26 must be seperated during car rides or they fight. yeah, she's BSC and they are too.
I just put M in her back carseat, tried to travel at night or at least a nap time. If she fussed a lot, I would ask what was wrong and did she want to take a break from the trip. Usually it was just an "I'm thirsty" or "Need potty" so I would attend to the immediate problem.
Whatever you choose, I promise they will not be scarred for life if you insist that it's your way or the highway.
That's exactly what I was thinking except of course replace "Evie's" with hypothetical baby's. Even after I realized it was a rear facing carseat I couldn't picture a way it would work. But at least trying to imagine it with a forward facing seat provided me with some entertainment.
The few times Ben has bit me that is what he has done. He bites then looks up at me and smiles. Little stinker.

on a related note, an empty highway is never really an empty highway. A truck can enter out of nowhere at a moments notice.
