people really need to learn to read

its like a debate group, they ask an oppinion you give one and they jump all over you. tho i find it funny because i will be the one with the different common sense oppinion and everyone else just uses the same stuff everyone else uses so it makes it boring. i dont jump all over people, but here lately i will if they start. but its like really annoying. dont start a debate if you cant handle a differing oppinion.

Its so sad that people cant just give advice on here and try to help other mums out. Why do people always feel the need to jump in and be mean. The mum asked for help and you responded, if this other mum wanted to give HER own version of advice that she believes in but when you were just trying to help a fellow mum and make her feel better why start getting nasty?????
Just ignore people like that and carry on helping the people you can. Some people just done have much of their own life so have to make others lives miserable. Just typical of bullies

its sad, you raise your kid and people always have a problem and tell you your wrong. i think alot stems from jealousy that their kid cant do something another can and part they go by dr.s and say theirs is right yours is wrong. it makes me mad. like his cousin, shes nice n stuff but went to my mil telling her we basically let her scream and ignore her when totally not true bc she jumped to conclusions and didnt read what i wrote. she took it the wrong way and at that they need to come to us not my mil

I think it's personal choice. But there'll always be women who breastfeed and look down on bottlefeeding mothers and vice versa.

she basically made me sound like a bad person saying i should have made an informed decision, i did. mine was to bottle feed. i dont even notice a difference bt bottle fed and non bottle fed babies really. ya research sais this and that but i find it false. of course they tell you that bc thats what they push on us here, especially on wic so they dont have to give you money for formula. of course they will try to save money and push breast feeding on you. when i went in before i had her it was all like breast feed and i feel like t hey just pushed it on me. i told her to find a kid thats smarter and healthier than mine due to breast feeding and maybe i will think other wise. so i know its gonna be a battle. she sounds like a hippie tho with her natural herbal bogus for everything. people make me mad. my child was never breast fed and shes advanced and perfectly healthy. ya she has acid reflux and had colic but im pretty sure it wasnt from not breast feeding lol. im probably going to get kicked out of that group and banned.

People can wind me up so much and its so hard online because if people see a comment and take it the wrong way they pounce on you. I joined a community called debating mums, u should join! :) lol Anyways, they have people on there that have been there since the group started and they've kinda got their own little clique (sp) going on, some are really nice, but if they don't agree what with what you are saying they all jump on you. It's kinda fun! lol And I have actually learnt so much from the community.

I know too well about how people can take you the wrong way, if you check the cereal thread I did you'll see that I got a lot of verbal abuse from people telling me I should mind my own business and I was really nice about it, just a bit of advice, I put a fully informed thread about it on stay at home mums, specialists quotes, everything. I explained all the reasons why it was dangerous and they should only give it to their child if stated by a doctor and the amount of women actually taking offence to it. One woman even said my post should be shut down! I'm like, well, you are all allowed to go and give people dangerous advice so what is so wrong in giving people a bit of advice that is not in any way dangerous or nasty in any way.

As for the bottle vs breast, I bottlefed both my children out of choice, my daughter is very intelligent for her age, she is healthy and happy, as is my son. :) Once, when I was at my in laws my hubbys nan was round and I said I was going to feed my son, I took a bottle out and started feeding him (just because I wasn't breastfeeding doesn't mean I don't feed my child myself) and his nan said "I thought you said you were going to feed him!" I was like, hello, bottle, food, baby, feed! Some people are just ignorant. A lot of people you will find won't agree with my decision but the point is it was mine not theirs. Some people are nice about it though. I try and be as respectful as possible with people, I may not agree with their decisions but there is no need to be rude! I think it's amazing that women can and do breastfeed and I tell them that but I do not regret my decision and stand by my choice.

Think I went a bit over board too! lol
