On another board, a poster has a long siggy that includes a slideshow of nursing babies from her playgroup. Another poster took offense at it and there has been quite the debate over the appropriateness of the siggy. I posted a message inviting people here to discuss that issue, and I hope that one of the posters from that particular playgroup comes here, at least so we can see what the siggy looks like. I'm having a hard time forming coherent thoughts today, LOL! So don't worry if I don't come back to debate the issue with you, I'm trying to get out of the office so I can go home & sleep.


As "Linda Richmond" (aka Mike Myers) from SNL would say, "talk amongst yourselves."

>>I have seen some AP parenting I do think take it far (one mother said she will not say No to her child and her child is now four <<

As far as I know "not saying no" has nothing to do with AP. If I were motivated, I would check the API website, but I'm not.

And if we going to talk about parenting styles I will just throw in that saying no too often is just as detrimental to kids as not saying it enough. Balance is key.

As a granddaughter of people who were actually there, I find that characterization offensive. There's a difference between the SS and the Nazi party.

Well, I didn't say 'all' either, so I think it's at an even plane there.

Maybe you need to provide a history lesson, then. The Nazi party maintained the SS as a paramilitary force, and gave it the power to marginalize and exterminate many people, particularly Jews, and the SS also organized and oversaw concentration camps. The Nazi party aspired to a goal of "judenfrei" from its earliest inception, in other words, "Jew free". Can you explain the difference between the SS, and the body who governed them and gave them orders? It sounds like one in the same to me, from my own understanding of history. Perhaps you have different information?

Nazi party: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party

Schutzstaffel (SS): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ss

ETA: I realize wikipedia is not always the best resource for statistics and so forth, but the historical information should be basically accurate there.

>>and I think we should remember (in my opinion) that some other types of parenting styles is often based on the child, and the needs of the parent and blamket statements should not be made.<<

Awesome post. :)

You beat me to it...I was wondering the same thing? Did I miss something in my history classes?

I didn't imply all any more than anyone else did with the statements in the first place.

My apologies for offending you. However, it doesn't change anything about this debate.

And? I'm reading the same thread, and I still don't understand how you can say "The crux of it seems to me to be that many BF moms think that FF moms choose formula because they are just not as informed/intelligent/caring as they are." THIS BF mom thinks nothing of the sort, and you've heard from others that they don't think that way about FF moms in general either.
