Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Morning - more bodies in the house due to broken down heating in their house and baby Tilly has taken to 24/7 crying (read screaming!!!!) Bless her - guess she's starving but what am i? An aul wan who knows nutting so lips are zipped !!!! Hurray! Work tomorrow
100% agree NO ONE can stop an addict except the addict - when they're ready - yes the meetings and rehabs will work - but until then it's pissing in the wind

Is she feeding her herself Molls ? I really don't think modern life lends well to breastfeeding - IMVHO. ....... not saying it's a good or bad thing - just we are all "too busy" and distracted by shiny things to give the time it takes.

ps I am NOT being judgemental - I tried to breastfeed but lost patience....... and felt I'd been through enough without a baby biting me :haha: I was 23 .......

Yes - well I fed my babies for a few months but once I knew they were hungry i bottled them - I suspect this is gonna go on forever! Joey partner and baby also here for the weekend and all the lads coming later - it has gotten silly tbh but need to keep zipped - there is an end in sight!!!!

Well, no doubt both sides have a point. I know breast-feeding is supposedly the best start a baby can have. Mine were bottle-fed right from the start and I never felt guilty about it. It wasn't that I didn't love my babies, it was something I didn't think I'd be good at so I didn't try. No patience and all of that stuff. First daughter-in-law insisted that younger granddaughter be breast-fed only, up to the time of about 9 months. The result is that she is still breast-feeding her a couple of times a day (she's now 19 months old and daughter-in-law works full time. The babe cannot drink from a bottle or use a pacifier as she gags. Her Mom fed her every time she opened her mouth to wail from the time she was born and at 9-months old she was as heavy as a one year old and slept with her mother all night so as to feed every two hours while her father (my elder son) slept on the sofa. Second daughter-in-law fed baby until about 6 weeks then couldn't any more. He is a strapping 13-month old who has bonded amazingly with his father because his Dad was the one who got up in the night to feed him and often fed him during the day. So, yes, breastfeeding gives the babies a good start in life, but it is not imperative nor should we feel guilty one way or another - IMVHO.

STOP that nonsense IMMEDIATELY Jacks :cuss:....... you are a great mother & they are lucky to have you.

What Satzy said!!

I wonder if RC has found his phone yet?

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Me again.

(Please move on if you don't want to read more shit about my phone)

Uh... Where did you suddenly go?!

OK, So hiked up the mountain with my next door neighbours phone. Put on Find My Phone located it exactly - wishing a couple or meters. And begin to dig through the snow. It had snowed more last night and there was snow drift so parts of the hill had 3 - 4 foot snow drifts...

2 + hours later, repeatedly checking Find My Phone, phoning my phone and no longer able to feel my frozen feet, the continuing wind blowing snow back over where I had been digging so that 10 minutes after clearing a spot it was under a few inches of snow again, not to mention the encroaching midday heavy snow fall (I knew it was coming) coming an hour early making it hard to see and freezing the side of my face, making my face feel like it (as opposed to my head) was having a hangover.... I decided, reluctantly, to head back down.

No phone.

It's still snowing at mine. Was hoping for a snow day, but apparently the snow fall will return to rain and the temp' is suppose to heat up over the course of the next 18 hours. A snow day would have been good as I would like to have one day this weekend to do something other than look for/deal with my darn effin, feckin' fone. Rant over.

YOU CAN COME BACK NOW.

As for breast feeding... agree with all you sage women. Being a man I feel it's not my place to give a point of view. I do think sometimes people are a bit sniffy when women breast feed in public tho. By and large i support women being able to do that. Hope I've not spoken out of term. Not having a pair of fine womanly mammary glands, nor the ability to carry a growing life inside of me, I am of course limited in what i relate to. But I do try to do my best. I'm not an alpha male :haha: I do think i'm in touch with a bit of feminine side.

[MENTION=18049]RunningCourage[/MENTION]............You've got a fabulous attitude about breast feeding so don't be fretting.

[JackieClaire]

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

This breatfeeding lark should be a woman's choice......think that's about it.

Gave up on the crocheting and decided that its of course its not me its the hooks/needles so I've ordered some from up the Amazon. Pretty blues and pinks............that'll do the trick.

Going up to see my sister-in-law's for birthday cake.............youngest niece is 18 tomorrow............she'll be able to get a legal proof of age. She's been 19 for the last 2 years

And its snowing.

Afternoon folks, spent the morning out in the pouring rain fixing a fence that had blown over. Of course it has now brightened up, which looked very unlikely earlier, oh well the job is done now.

There you go - the fence is fixed and you get to enjoy the better weather doing something else. There is always a brighter side to things. IMHO, of course.

RC - sorry you didn't find yer phone. Don't know how much they can stand up to the weather - freezing, snow, etc. Maybe look into what Satz said - see if your insurance will cover it. And I like your attitude, as Jackie said. I agree with you. My problem is always when people take things a little too far. I once saw a mother here breastfeeding her baby in a mall. Not done a lot and I stopped, not to watch her but to see the reaction of others as they passed by. She was about 35 or so and what amazed me was that a bunch of young kids walked up to her and started to talk to her. Then they all got up and walked into a store "to find Dad" as I heard her say. Turns out they were all hers - ALL SIX OF THEM - ages from a few months to about 10 !!! I know that because I actually stopped her and asked, with a look of amazement on my face, if they were hers. Her answer was - Yes, see what I've gotten myself into? Said with a smile of love and contentment tho'. A brave young woman in our day of material values.
