And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

So full of ASSumptions. Well, I'll throw your condescending tone right back at ya.

Ummm, dd didn't have any experience with bottles either. She managed to get water out of a sippy cup. Guess your dd just wasn't as orally coordinated as mine.

I didn't. And, there are many cups out there that are not "sippy" cups, instead are cups with a lid and a drinking spout. No magic. Spillable, but not nearly as spillable as a lidless one.

Its a question of a 7mo not having the manual dexterity to drink from a regular cup without spilling.

Gee, I wasn't even using a dcp when dd was using cups.
<,Just for the record, I'm one of those moms who hated to see young children (especially 3, 4, and even 5 year olds who were clearly old enough to use a regular cup) carrying around a sippy cup all day. >>
Gee, so am I. Gasp!

Gee, what if she was thirsty between those times? I let my children have a drink when they express thirst. I don't prefer they get dehydrated just so they following strict rules of cups only at snack and mealtime. And I was able to do that without them carrying a sippy cup around all day. Imagine that!

Me neither.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
But it does bother me a great deal that we have to have armed guards in our temple during high holy day services but Christians can attend Easter and Christmas services without having to worry that someone will come in and blow their brains out. Doesn't that bother you? If not, it should.
And it bothers me that last year at Passover, someone left a burning bag of dog sh*t on the Rabbi's front porch, rang the doorbell, and left. Doesn't that bother you? It *really* bothered me, especially since DS, who was five at the time, witnessed it.
PNJ has said I am "anti-Christian." Cocoapop went so far as to call me a bigot -- "a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own prejudices" -- a charge that made me cry. But, if being bothered by the things I described makes me anti-Christian or a bigot, so be it.
A number of people on this board chat with me frequently offline. They have said they are willing to refute these "anti-Christian" and "bigot" charges. Thank you, Suzy, for standing up for me. I appreciate it. You are a true friend.

Are there Christians who give Christianity a bad name? Yup. Just like there are Jews who give Judaism a bad name, Muslims who give Islam a bad name. Hindus who give Hinduism a bad name. Buddhists who give Buddhism a bad name. Atheists who give atheism a bad name.
Does it bother me that you tend to blame the entirety of Christianity for the actions of a misrepesentative few? Yup. Does it bother YOU? It should.
