@keepcalmcarrie: @grizz: I had a friend pull me aside the other weekend to tell me that she saw my husband feed B a bite of cookie. She was horrified. Haha. First of all, it's his child, he doesn't need my permission to give him a bite of anything. Second of all, it was a bite of cookie not a bump of heroin. Calm the F down!

Sleep - I'm totally relaxed about bedtime because he's always happy. If he's happy and it's 9pm, I don't force bedtime on him. Even if I could use a break.
Rear-facing. Still.
Baby wearing a toddler (toddler wearing?). I'd rather carry my son on public transit than take a stroller. -
@rahlyrah: haha yes, I'm the black sheep too! I'm staying at a friends house with J in a couple weekends, she thinks J's going to sleep so we can watch a movie... haha, unlikely!
-
@rahlyrah: Wow, she'd freak if she saw my husband giving E a sip of beer then! (I must admit, I was less than impressed - but it *was* just a tiny sip).
-
They laugh at her early bedtime (it was 7:15...now it's closer to 8:15) but they can't believe she goes to bed when it's light out. I explain she needs it or she's a monster!
-
@rahlyrah: well to some that cookie is heroin!
-
I'm really protective over my LO's routine. Bath and bed by a certain time. So this means we either have to decline a few parties or only one of us will go. Or we'll go and leave early. Paige doesn't do well with a change in routine, especially since it throws us off for a few days. Even a 30 min sleep deprivation! I get comments about how we're the adults and kids should be flexible, but that only worked when she was really young. I'm pretty much tied to her sleep schedule now.
-
My friends haven't really said anything to me, but DH calls me the carseat nazi. I'd like to introduce him to the ladies over on car seats for the littles, then he could see what a real car seat fanatic looks like.

I'm the mom who is terrified of other moms.
The idea of a play date where moms chat while kids play gives me hives. Small talk at the playground? I am a jibbering fool.My friends think it is hilarious because I am social when I am out of my parenting role.
Also, avoiding sunburn. The kid is SO white.

@LuLu Mom: early bedtime! lol Olivia's in bed by 6-630 latest!
-
I guess cloth diapering and extended rear facing?
@rachiecakes: Do you still use the Ergo?
-
Cloth diapering. We're the only one out of all of our friends, and everyone thinks we're nuts.
-
@rahlyrah: Oh man. I am the black sheep too. & LOL@bumpofheroin!
Yea, my IL's give me a hard time about being on a pretty strict schedule (BUT I've been trying to get better about this as he gets older....). I am a bit crazy about sweet things, in that I don't want L to have treats unless I give it to him and in small portions. My IL's think this is crazy and my MIL (who I usually have no problems with) tells me she can't wait until he's one so she can give him candy all the time. I also caught my FIL SHOVELLING spoonfuls of ice cream in L's mouth when he had a major pukey, diarrhea-y virus!
Otherwise, I'm the coolest mom evar.
-
Cloth diapering and not sleep training. Apparently that makes me a martyr?
-
@autumnlove: I do!
-
I'm glad I'm not the only one about the breathing thing. Hehe.
@hellocupcake: Oh this happened to me with family... LO is the only grandchild and grandparents gave me a hard time about BLW method and when I look away they would at least cut up the food I gave LO into smaller pieces. Haha. After the initial period though the grandparents came around because they were so happy what a good eat LO became and would eat anything they cooked with a big smile on his face.
-
@yoursilverlining: still co-sleeping here as well and I get lots of comments about it :(.
-
I forgot. I am also the mom who blames EVERYTHING on teething.
-
Hehe people usually don't say anything but I totally get looks about my dd's teething necklace and when I tell them her bedtime is usually around 10:30pm... and that she always nurses to sleep. Whatev, not their kid
-
@rahlyrah: I'm the opposite. At M's school party recently I was the only parent who didn't give their kid a sugar cookie with frosting (mainly because she doesn't have a lot of sugar and I knew she would be wired all night if I let her!) but they all looked at me like I was torturing her. She was 16 months at the time.... she doesn't know what cookies taste like and it's not like she missed it. I don't get why people feel like to need to be so involved in other people's choices.
