I'd like to start a petition

Can we bring back the BR warnings for baby/child/pregnancy stuff, please?

  • I also agree with this and try to follow that. If I notice I've forgotten it, I edit my post title. I have noticed that a lot of the ones not tagged BR are fairly new or someone I don't see post very often.

    I feel like you've turned very, very anti-baby/pregnancy/any child at all since your husband has deployed.

    Yes, by asking her two questions in the last... Three weeks I'm "jumping all over her". She's been drinking a lot and has turned into the antibaby lady in to what seems like over night after her husband deployed. Perhaps I'm concerned that she's having a rough time due to the drinking and the attitude towards children ( misplaced frustration). But I'm not a therapist and I certainly don't know her personally.

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

    The @ works well on the other boards, I agree. Have you seen the ^ symbol used for house related posts on MM also? That made me laugh but hey, it works.

    Word. My H's first deployment I drank wine every night after work and played video games. Babies were no where in my future.

    My attitude towards children isn't misplaced. I work with screaming, uncooperative children all day. I keep meeting people who are stressed to the max and overwhelmed because they weren't ready to deal with the responsibilities parenthood brings. It has helped me realize I don't want to deal with that.

    Do I want kids some day? Sure. Just not in my immediate future.

    then you should probably leave it alone.

    Or if you are legitmately concerned, say something personally about your concern for her, dont call her out publically in front of God and everyone. that's hardly a way to convey your concern and have it be well received.

    Mary, you HAVE to know that taking photos of kids is a stressful situation for those kids and their parents and even you! Having a hard time at the photo place with your kids (when you are the parent) is going to be stressful. I hate that you think you know that they weren't ready to deal with parenthood solely on your 1 or 2 limited interactions with them.

    And, for the record, I have to laugh (not in a rude way, either) that you work with kids and there was that huge and continuing to go on post about kids. :)

    To clarify, I meant to use the crazy job and meeting stressed parents as two separate examples (I try block out the parents at my work- while some are helpful- most of them are annoying and distracting).

    I think working with kids reaffirms my need for kid-free friends though.

    That makes sense. I was thinking you meant it the other way.

  • I'm 30.  Am I still allowed to drink and not like baby talk?  Or is that only reserved for women in their early 20s?  

    I like wine.  I dislike children.  I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with my age.

  • TN ate my well thought out post. But it went something along the lines of "I wasn't trying to be a bitcch by asking her about her change in habits. I didn't go about making sure she was ok the right way. and I think people are allowed to ask why habits have changed suddenly without it being a call out/or being a biitch". Of course it all sounded nicer last night. And it's not about her drinking/not liking kids. It's the sudden change. And she came on here and explained why without being all "lemon, why you up on my grill all the damn time, yo?" I didn't mean to offend you Mary, I really didn't.

    I was addressing the insinuation she'd done a 180.
