You call it an accident. I call it justice.

For me personally, this is the most terrifying thread on any forum I have been a part of. That said, carry on and I will go back to lurking and cringing.  |

Since two of us recommended them, a quick note that Ikea cribs. They apparently have them temporarily off the market to make certain they comply with new US regulations. They're expecting to have them back in a few weeks.

Even if you're not that into music, which I am not, start memorizing something you can sing softly. While my voice died with puberty, apparently I was good enough for my son. Singing helps calm them down. So does just hearing your voice. I have a few nursery rhymes and songs that helped keep my son calm and soothe him to sleep. It's never too earlier to read to them either.
Got that one covered. I memorized the song from the movie "Three Men and a Baby" that they sing to her to put her to sleep. Used it on my niece when she was born. http://youtu.be/EL-D2K0jOIwWiggles and Yo Gabba Gabba kinda disturb me. Something about other grown men dressing up and singing to my future kid.... |

Said with no scorn: You're too uptight and your definition of "a man" is flawed. You will understand further when you're doing utterly goofy things that make you look "like a wimp/ fool/ idiot" for your own kid. |
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.

Merusk, You misunderstand. Me doing it is okay, as I said I have a niece and Im used by friends for babysitting. A group of other men in tights doing it professionally not okay. Ive just never been a fan of the live action type kid's shows. I was more comfortable and entertained watching the animated shows like Sponge Bob, the Backyardigans, and Max and Ruby. Some of this is what worries me. LOL http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-creepy-childrens-tv-shows.php |

4. Suspect every noise is some form of trouble. 4a. Suspect the lack of noise is some form of trouble too. Yes, the corollary is often more frightening, too. I forgot about it because it is so rare. However, it's like if you are on an airplane and suddenly things get QUIET.... I do not immediately suspect the grown men who work in children's entertainment are maladjusted. Rather, I suspect they are simply successful musicians or entertainers. Like Biz Markee.  |
Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

However, it's like if you are on an airplane and suddenly things get QUIET.... The worst for us was after we had moved our first child into her own room (around 6mo) and basically were having to fight the urge to go every hour to check on her. I'm pretty sure she slept better than we did that night. |

Just read about this today. This has got to be one of the, if not THE, most disgusting thing I have ever heard of. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/23/placenta-its-whats-for-dinner_n_934141.htmlNew York Magazine recently wrote a very comprehensive piece, "The Placenta Cookbook," that explored human afterbirth eating (mostly in pill form), which is becoming more popular among an apparently growing niche of people. There are supposed but not widely-researched health benefits -- such as combating post-partum depression -- that have gotten women interested in eating their own insides-turned-outsides. The article is chock-full of fascinating yet disturbing anecdotes, such as a woman who craved organs while pregnant. “After I gave birth, I threw a chunk of placenta in the Vitamix with coconut water and a banana. It gave me the wildest rush... It was definitely physical,” she said.
The rise of this "afterbirth empire" has not only resulted in dehydrated placenta pills and placenta jerky, but also a women's rights issue. There have been cases of parents requesting to keep the placenta post-childbirth, and hospitals denying the claim. "My placenta, my choice," explains the article. |

This has been in and out mostly among hippie dippy new agey types going back to at least the late 60s. I remember horrifying my mother by asking her to explain an article about it back in the 70s.

Get vinyl copies of Pet Sounds and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Live 1975-1985. These are surefire sleepytime albums for my daughter.
YMMV.

Just read about this today. This has got to be one of the, if not THE, most disgusting thing I have ever heard of. Obligatory link: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/10/17/My wife gave birth to our latest (Elijah, on June 3) in our bathtub, about an hour before the midwife was able to get here. She called me in as I was in the middle of writing my "I won't be into work today" email, and I was greeted by the sight of her standing with one foot on the side of the tub and catching the little fellow as he came out. SHE IS AN AMAZON. That placenta has been in a (blessedly opaque) Tupperware bowl in our freezer ever since. I think she intended to bury it in the backyard and plant a tree on it. I treat it like I treat the Madagascar hissing cockroaches one of the concept artists keeps at work; I pretend that it's not there, because it's not (yet) my problem. |
