MIL let Ds1 CIO when she knew we're not ok with that, and now it's been a year and a half and we haven't let her babysit because I don't feel like I can trust her not to do something else that's unacceptable.
I can't believe that these people all think that letting a baby "cry it out" is some punishable form of abuse that warrants a year and a half of distrust.

Anyone puzzle out what the heck "DTD" stands for?
And this:
A long time. But for me it was compounded by feeling abandoned and betrayed by DH during my birth rape. It's hard to want to be intimate with someone who just stood there and watched you being raped and tortured, YK? Not to mention the physical issues.
Yeahright. Talk to women who endured the rape camps during the Bosnian/Serb war before you start yammering about your own experience, you fatuous cunt. Gawd, I hate women who blow such things out of proportion :flaming
Maybe there is something to the archaic medical practice of slapping chloroform over the birthing mother's nose and presenting her with a baby when she woke up. Saved a lot of aggro and passive-aggressive guilting toward the father down the road.

Can't these kids just be contented to suck their thumbs anymore?

Natural consequences (as in, "If you keep climbing on (thing), you'll fall and get hurt") do not work on little brat because he usually wants the consequences; "If you fall, you might get hurt and have to go to the hospital" is met with a response of, "I want to go to the hospital." http://www.mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=1270579

Did anyone notice this response to the dry nursing?
"what kind of hard time? physical pain or societal pressure?
if physical pain then like others said see how YOU feel about it.
if its societal pressure since some are never going to like it what do you think. do you feel odd?
is it normal? doenst matter to me. i have been dry nursing for the past 5 years. its emotional therapy for dd and i would never take it away from her. "
Bolding added by me,
Also her sig has her daughter listed as 8 years old. I can clearly remember most everything that was going on in my life when I was eight. That poor girl is going to have serious issues.

I used to be a good parent to my 5 yo DS. I practiced gentle parenting a la 'non violent communication', Gordon Neufeld, UP etc. I had the time, energy, whatever. I know lots of people do it with 3 kids but I am so far off the path it isn't funny. Even when I can keep my composure it is a constant "shh, babies are sleeping" "be gentle" "quiet, no yelling" "clean up your stuff" blah blah blah. I am tired of hearing myself nag.
We used to go out all the time . . . park, bike rides, playdates, museums, etc. Now that the babies are here we only go out a couple times a week and while we are at home DS mostly watches tv until it is time for me to pack them all up to take him to kindergarten in the pm (thank goodness he loves kindy!!). Soon it will be 40 below zero and it will suck even worse. I feel isolated, lonely. Going out is a lot of work and isn't really 'fun' since there is only a short window until one or both babies melt down.

He kicked me out and luckily a good friend of mine is letting me stay with her. The original plan was to move to Oklahoma where another friend of mine lives. A whole 3 1/2 hours away. And he didn't care. Now he's not attending any appointments (his decision) and have called him every week for the past three, asking that he call me back so we can discuss getting the rest of my things and money I need for the baby. It's the same routine... "Sure, I'll call you." A week goes by so I call him (at work, no less, because he doesn't have a phone or got one and hasn't given me the number) and the process repeats. And I'm scared to death that he'll actually try to fight for custody after baby is here.

"Doing The Deed" I know most all of their jargon, but I'm not proud of it!

I had no idea that letting a kid suck Moo's tits long after she's finished making milk actually had a name. That made me want to heave. I also asked what's wrong with a thumb or a pacifier - a tit is not in any way necessary to sate a child's need to suck something. Child-led weaning is absolutely horse shit and if Moo had any sense about her, she'd toss the kid off the boob and give her something else to suck on. Unfortunately, this seems to be the age of rampant jelly-spines, so rather than Mommy being the one who wears the pants, it's Junior and Mommy's just got to do what the kid wants no matter what.

So if I get a tracheotomy while my airway is blocked, is that a "Neck Rape?" Woe is me!

Re: Martyr Moos with premature babies:
If it wasn't for medical intervention (aka "birth rape" what a stupid fucking term) her child would likely be DEAD.
Doesn't she feel the slightest happiness that the doctors/hospital/advanced medical technology were able to do? Save her child's life??
"Birth Rape???" WTF?? They probably saved your life and definitely saved the life of your child, you ungrateful drama queen.
Blecch.
