Argh can't talk about anything without offending some one

[bronny-jane]

So quintens my big little man, feeds well, growing like a giant lol.
And finally the weight is coming off all thanks to bf, so I posted something on my facebook, only to get a comment saying
Rub it in why don't you, it's not my fault my baby didn't like my milk..
From my sister, hmm she didn't even try really baby was on formula within a few days, so why try to make me feel guilty. Sheesh, even ff my 3 girls I never took a swipe at anyone for bf.

[bronny-jane]

Not just that either, always snide remarks if I happen to have a glass of red wine once the kids are asleep.
Like oh the babys sleeping cause he's drunk..

[headoverfeet]

Sounds like she has some issues, don't own her feelings. And congrats on the weight coming off :highfive: 90 weeks of tandem feeding and I didn't lose a Kg :laughing:

:rolleyes: :shame: on you for having an occasional glass of wine, I swear all these stupid restrictions we place on breastfeeding mummas is part of the battle.

[ComeBackKid]

:rolleyes:

I hate that! Definitely sounds like she has her own issues!

Its true!! One of the things that deterred me from even trying was that I would end up being this dairy cow just feeding all day and night and never be able to have a social life again lol. Luckily I've had that all cleared up for me now but it's not good to have silly info like that flying around.

Anyways, sucks to be your sister BJ but she really should just let you have your happy moment without bringing it down.

[Bubmum]

I have a sister who is a cow as well, bahahaha. She knows better than to comment on bfing though, or she would get a slapside up the head of a great big milky boobie.
And congrats to you on the weight loss too...I put on about 15 kilos over a year and a half of feeding DD, sitting around eating biscuits. But it's slowly coming off now that I have glued shut the lid on the cookie jar.

[Nowhere]

HUGs congrats on the weight loss for you and gain for buby, Way to go mumma

Tell your friends to p*ss off

[Boobycino]

Horray for weight loss.

Don't you know your not supposed to discuss breast feeding OR weight loss on FB!!?! Sheeesh!!!!!


:hugs: :rolleyes:

[Bumble]

I have so many friends/family that have snide comments regarding my breastfeeding ... but then they feel the need to justify there bottle feeding.
So over it ... people just need to own there choices and just worry about feeding there own babies :)

Good on you for getting some weight off .. im still living in hope that one day i will wake up 5 kilos lighter x

[BabyPaparazzi]

Good going:yelclap: I put on weight with DD1, lost it with DD2 but that's cause I had to cut out all dairy for her, lost 5 kilo's in 3 weeks instantly :laughing:

Its like getting the, should you eat that, omg you are having a drink, do you have to do that here, oh my how dare you go out and party once in a blue moon without your baby.

IME swipes at the fact I have successful bf came from a few of ladies who gave up really easily within a few day, I don't know if its guilt on their behalf or what, but I've never made any remarks about their choice to ff, nor have I ever to anyone, each to their own its personal choice.

:iagree:
And I also havent lost any weight, in 6 months :no:

[babybabycakes]

:hugs: it's hard isn't it. Some people are fortunate enough to loose weight feeding (I lost 20 kg's in the first 6 months:smiliedance:) but on the other side of that needed protien shakes etc to stop further weight loss. A dear friend stopped talking to me for almost 4 months because she got upset I was loosing and she wasn't. I never said anything about the loss etc- she just dropped out of my life. When she finally told me I was so upset. It's been a struggle to stop loosing the weight for a long time and. All I heard from people was how lucky I was. Yeah- lucky to have to drink several protien shakes a day :barf:to not end up in hospital for excessive loss.

Your sister was out of line:hugs:

[Pregnor]

my sister would find it offensive if i mentioned breastfeeding on facebook

one should not speak of breasts on facebook...
or poop...

Haha.. Just as well she's not my friend on fb.. The first 12 months of DDs life were punctuated by fb status updates outlining various bf & poop experiences!

OP.. It totally sounds as if your sister is being over sensitive about your status update because of her percieved failure. Don't let her rain on your parade!

[baby makes four]

i announced on fb recently that i believe in extended bf and baby wearing and got a bunch of snide remarks about being a hippy... some people just have a need to project their misery or unwanted opinions on others!

way to go you for your weight loss and success at BF!!!!

[meme]

not on your facebook so I will post my *like* just here.

way to go BJ:highfive:

[NonnyMouse]

Well done for breastfeeding successfully and for losing the baby weight!!!

:yelclap:

Your sis may have issues, but I did wonder if you two have a bit of an issue with the fact that you did and she didn't breastfeed?


she didn't even try really baby was on formula within a few days, so why try to make me feel guilty.

If she is feeling guilty for not breastfeeding then the sort of comment you made above probably doesn't help her feel generous towards you. I'm sure you didn't say it to her, but if you *feel* it, then it's likely you unconsciously *project* it as well.

Same and I replied "and PROUD" after the hippy comments :laughing:

[bronny-jane]

AM, she tries to make everything a competition, I don't care that she ff's, I ff my dds, I was annoyed that she asked my advice, and completely did the opposite, then complained about lack of support, I was there showing her everything I knew. Annoyed, but never said anything, completely over it after about a week... But I do still hold a grudge after she said I hope your baby dies or is retarded the day before I was due to have my 1st, can't forgive that seeing I'd lost 2 pg's before, just found it really screwed up. Still I do nothing but support her, even financially. All I get back is put downs.

I've been called a hippy quite a few times, because I use cloth, make my girls clothes, my food from scratch, garden and do a lot of craft and photography, little do these people realise before I finished working to have my babies and finish my studies I wore suits and worked in the city for years, I'll be a fully qualified accountant in a year, and definitely do not look or live like a hippy :laughing: But go us Hippies:smiliedance:

And yes god forbid we should mention our b00bies on facebook for what they are intended for and not sexual objects.

[Mischief]

Congratulations Bronny. :) well done!!!

Boo hiss to your sister. What a horrid thing to say (about your baby dying etc). Sounds like a right btich if you ask me!!!
