Do people think that you are a troll on other websites?

Nope.

No, but I'm not very respectful of religious ideas in PPR

I mentioned I had a meltdown and my baby's crying was overwhelming me so I got overloaded and shut down. I covered his mouth to muffle his crying and my husband yelled at me for it. So I put him in his crib and ran out of the apartment ignoring his crying and my husband checked on him and saw his arm and leg were in between the bars where he could have twisted them. I didn't know it was that bad because we were all posting our bad mommy moments. I just couldn't take care of him at the moment because I got overloaded and shut down and my husband acts like I did it on purpose. It's like telling someone with seizures their baby comes first so they must not have a seizure and still take care of their little one during their seizure because they are an adult. But I wonder if my bad mommy moment caused the thread to get locked or if it was about the users making fun of the spelling error the OP did "Amy bad mommy moments" she had or both. But the overall picture was I was a bad mommy because I couldn't take care of him and the fact he had his hand and leg stuck between the bars and I didn't know it. Why is it child abuse to cover your baby's mouth? I dunno but my husband said it's because their faces are tiny so you can cover their noses too and also it teaches them to not cry. Am I abusing him then when I put a burp cloth over his mouth when he is spitting up so he won't get the rest on him and on me and the chair or is that different because I don't have it over his mouth long, only a few seconds? My husband keeps saying to be careful so he won't suffocate. I guess I should add that to my bad mommy moments too.

That's not a moment to be proud of... but the point of sharing it was the share the worst moments so I don't get how they get off thinking you're satan for that.

At least there was another adult in the house so when you were unable to care for the baby, he could. He should have just taken over when you started exhibiting the first symptoms of meltdown and most of that would not have even happened. I supposed people could tell you that you shouldn't have meltdowns ever but that doesn't sound realistic at all. The fact remains that you will have meltdowns and there was another parent there to step in when you couldn't take care of the baby because of your meltdowns. I'm sorry you had a meltdown and I hope that you have found a way to process the stress and noise of the baby crying in a way that doesn't overwhelm you... just because I know that will make your life easier. I'm also sorry people were sh*tty to you on the internet about it.

It's never a good idea to share your bad mommy moments with a bunch of mommy strangers.

Only when I am trolling, and half the time even that is missed and I get serious answers/flame wars.

I don't even like talking about parenting with other mommies, unless I already know they think like me in terms of discipline and values. I really don't get along with the granola/crunchy types who make their own baby food and wouldn't dream of using disposable diapers. I just mortify them with the horrible way that I'm raising my four kids. And if there's one thing I don't have any tolerance for, it's someone criticizing how I raise my kids. They're my world and I love them.

For the most part, I agree. When I first became a mother, I thought a good debate about parenting choices could help me see things from other perspectives.

It didn't. I just got called an abuser for being a spanker and told my kids will grow up fat and unhealthy for not breastfeeding.

Well i guess i must hate both of you then! LOL




I am permabanned on SA because my daughter is at 150th percentile for height on WHO guidelines.

I don't automatically hate those with different parenting styles. Many of my mommy friends are actually crunchy AP parents that are against spanking and all that. They just don't tell me I'm a bad mother for doing it differently.

I am a cloth nappy attachment parent, I didn't breastfeed because of other medical issues. I also didn't vaxx. I do beleive in the WHO guidelines to breastfeed until at least 2.

Doesn't bother me in the least. Just don't tell me I'm doing it wrong.

You are doing everything wrong.......


I really couldn't give a f**k about what you do. You are not my patient so whatever options i could give you are moot.

I happen to use cloth diapers and plan on making my own baby food (still thinking about it). I hope that won't effect how we reply to each other Oh wait I do use disposables sometimes so that must not apply to me.

But who cares if parents make their own baby food or buy it or use cloth or disposables. I have seen the arrogant attitudes on Babycenter in the cloth diapering group. I don't think I am better than anyone just because they don't use cloth. I use cloth because it's cheaper and I wouldn't have to worry about spending tons of money on diapers. I can go a week now without washing them.

And yes I could not believe the attitudes between breast feeding and formula feeding and I couldn't get what the big deal was. Now I know but I still don't care. I breast feed because it's cheaper and we don't have to spend tons of money on formula and worry about wasting it or getting up to make a bottle. My baby won't even take a bottle anymore, sometimes he will but won't have much, because he prefers my breasts. Even though WIC covers formula, about 9 cans a month, I still breast feed because I still don't have to worry about wasting it or having to buy any if we do go through nine cans before the month ends and I don't have to worry about my weight anymore.

What does SA stand for solvejg?

It's really obvious when someone is trolling, and the same thing, none of them are funny.

Some people just make mistakes, it's normal. The folks who go around posting nonsense in every other topic, usually posting some horribly abused and unfunny meme are the trolls.

But sometimes people do come off as trolls when they aren't trolling. People with learning disabilities or autism are more likely to be called trolls because of the way they function on the forums or how they communicate and see things. Heck even people with Narcissistic personality disorders or bipolar are more likely to be called one too and people with anger issues or people with borderline personality disorders or schizophrenia or depression.

And the word often gets misused too so anyone can be called a troll.
