Just read a FB comment from old school mate which went along the lines of..

Eating my tea whilst breast feeding now that takes some doing!

Or words to that effect.

I immediately thought you just want the world to know you're breastfeeding.

I'm I bitter cos I didn't feed very well or very long or are you with me on this one?

Unreasonable. You have unresolved issues.

But hey, presumably, your kids survived and thrived. Let it go.

Angel786 · 17/10/2011 12:21

Yanbu it's an overshare IMO.

cantpooinpeace · 17/10/2011 12:26

No I still don't agree with the way she uses it and many others. What I have learnt is that they're the ones that I need to block/delete for my own sanity.

Boooo she's using FB in a braggy way :)

No I am not with you. Don't be daft.

Oh and stay off FB! It seems to bring the worst out in everyone Wink

EllaDee · 17/10/2011 12:41

Still going on?

Do you not get that some people have family and friends, whom they actually like and who like them, and who are interested in the boring details of their new baby's life? I would absolutely love to be right there seeing my baby niece, but I will take facebook as the next best thing and yes, I am glad to know the trivia as it makes me feel more involved.

Booooooyhoo · 17/10/2011 12:43

and how do you use FB OP? is it the same 'check out this chip on my shoulder' way that you use MN?

cantpooinpeace · 17/10/2011 12:46

I think you guys are just really, really phoney good people

Booooooyhoo · 17/10/2011 12:51

i think you're shit at admitting when you're wrong on the wind up.

TipOfTheSlung · 17/10/2011 13:12

I love that fact that anyone who is proud of something they have done is obviously bragging. You are allowed to just be chuffed with yourself you know.
World is so fucking miserable

cantpooinpeace · 17/10/2011 13:13

if that's what you want to believe, go ahead :)

Booooooyhoo · 17/10/2011 13:20

am i wrong? ok, so the majority of people on this thread have picked up on an issue that isn't there? we are all seeing things?

JodieHarsh · 17/10/2011 13:21

I'm astounded that's considered something worth bragging about tbh. I vividly recall my sister BFing whilst making an entire lasagne from scratch and supervising her elder daughter's violin practice in the adjoining room. Now themz skills, not that it would occur to her to post about it on bleeding FB Hmm

disclaimer: if I ever bloody manage to conceive I daresay my FB will consist of slideshows of baby's first nappies, accompanied by Elgar soundtrack.

ThingsThatGoFlumpInTheNight · 17/10/2011 13:25

Can't believe this thread is still running!

Let it go - lets all love one another. Because from today I am not going to moan about anybody. That is, ever since I was watching XFactor with DS1 last night, who finally turned to me and said "you know how you can't watch anything without slagging it off? Well it makes you sound just like Nanna *" (ie my MIL) Shock.

So as an alternative - would anyone like to chat about the Sodastream I'm buying today?

Booooooyhoo · 17/10/2011 13:31

Grin things!!

trust the kids to tell it how it is!!

ThingsThatGoFlumpInTheNight · 17/10/2011 13:34

I know! This has to be the biggest wake up call of my life!

EllaDee · 17/10/2011 13:36

Things Grin - It happens to us all! Or if it doesn't, I'm sure your DD knows why it's exactly the right thing to say to get you to stop any given behaviour ...

cantpooinpeace · 17/10/2011 13:36

Booo I think you'd get on wonderfully with the lass I deleted :)

Booooooyhoo · 17/10/2011 13:38

ah go on OP humour me. answer the question. pretend you're not in denial. pleeeeaaaasse!!!!

hiss42 · 17/10/2011 13:44

plenty of my friends put that they're just making/giving their babies a bottle before bed/have their own tea. I've had mastitis three times and I'm still breastfeeding and damn proud. Get over yourself, you're being bitter.

cantpooinpeace · 17/10/2011 13:45

Completely wrong which must mean I am in total denial, I am blissfully unaware of any issues you believe I have.

As I said, the only time I think about BF/FF is on here really and when rammed down my throat on FB
:)

runningwilde · 17/10/2011 13:45

Hmm I did read your post and still conclude you sound very bitter and not very nice

I think you should block everyone from your fb as they are much better off without YOU

leafyglenda · 17/10/2011 13:46

Is she one of the women who think they're the only ones to produce a child?

runningwilde · 17/10/2011 13:48

Good on you hiss for carrying on! I had mastitis so many times too along with other problems and like you carried on and feel mega proud I did! I might just go and post a lovely bf status on fb...
