NC, This has nothing to do with breastfeeding, and btw, I never say anyone should be BFing, I just give advice to those who consider it.

For the millionth time, she bought up the babies as an afterthought, as an excuse for her behaviour, I didn't start that.

"she bought up the babies as an afterthought, as an excuse for her behaviour, I didn't start that. "

There is no behaviour to excuse unlike you accusing me of making it up about my losses.

You are so jealous.

You must have a really sad life and really not be happy. My DH cares about me and know I need to rest - are you a fucking doctor? What about your DH - no did'nt think so. Hormonal whitch. How fucking dare you.

Yes, darling, really jealous.

So jealous of a relationship in which you need to ask people if you're being unreasonable for staying in bed, then excuse it.

If I had reasons for staying in bed I certainly wouldn't ask if I was BU.

I hope this pregnancy ends happily for you and you have no more problems.

I shan't post on this thread again, maybe you should rethink how you phrase OPs too.

Oh, and a tip, it's really pointless claiming someone is pg and hormonal when half of MN know she isn't.

You are a sad hormonal whitch. Have a hard look at your own life love. What crime did I comit, staying in bed when pregnant after being advised to rest by medics. You are poisonus and would'nt wish your thoughts on anyone. Yes you fuck off.

HSM you truly are sounding increasingly like a nutter on this thread...let it go and accept that it all just ended up a bit wrong....from both ends

HSM, this seems to have disintegrated into a slanging match, so will stay out of the general "you said / but you said" bla bla bla.

However... NC, if you want to argue a point, don't make something up. State the facts, and then your opinion on it. From ante/postnatal you know perfectly well VS doesn't say people should bf (I should know, as I mix and has asked for her advice and opinion loads). To state her almost forcing people to bf is just silly. Surely there's better ways to say what you believe, this isn't primary school.

ClairePO · 01/09/2008 22:13

There's something very wrong about this thread.

Litchick · 01/09/2008 22:32

Someone's getting overtired and ought to be in bed.

chuggabopps · 01/09/2008 22:47

101 posts since Friday? no wonder your tired.

VictorianSqualor · 01/09/2008 23:33

Thanks Sal, don't want to seem like a bf 'nazi' as well.

UniversallyChallenged · 01/09/2008 23:38

VS - you lied

you said you werent going to post again!! The lure was too much eh?!

And what do you mean Claire?

daisy5678 · 02/09/2008 00:38

I never go on this board, but someone mentioned it... HSM, what are you like?! How can you ask if YABU to stay in bed and then say things like 'What crime did I comit, staying in bed when pregnant after being advised to rest by medics'???

Do you want to know what people think or not?

Why ask then?

Bizarre.

disappears back to normal board, shaking head in disbelief at the bizarreness of people asking AIBU and not wanting to actually know the answer!

ClairePO · 02/09/2008 07:44

UniversallyChallenged - just the way it descended into a slanging match, people being called 'hormonal witch' etc. Perhaps 'wrong' wasn't the right word, I think givemesleeporgivemechocolate has put it better as 'bizarre'.

Gateau · 02/09/2008 08:32

Can't beleive this is still going on and has developed into a slanging match!
Good ess me, the women only wanted a rest for a day and is lucky to have a DH who supports her. What is the big deal?

PinkTulips · 02/09/2008 11:27

no need to go to bed, i find falling asleep on the couch with all the doors locked and the tv in for the kids works just fine and whenever dp wanders in he feels so sorry for me he makes me tea

it helps that i've hit nesting now as well as i veer between organising and cleaning frantically to passed out on the couch so he keeps giving me lectures about 'over exerting myself' and 'need to rest' and i actually get ordered to chill out!

doing diy with kids in tow is pretty tough though, although if they're older or better behaved than mine probably not impossible.

if dh isn't compaining and is happy to pick up the slack and as long as you return the favour for him when he needs it then i hope you enjoyed the lazy day

CatIsSleepy · 02/09/2008 11:28

get some rest
all of you
