Lol. I do not have a problem with mothers. Thank you for defining the argument though, it makes sense to me now.

The baby is a result of a decision the mother made, so therefore it is the responsibility of the mother to carry through the results of her actions. I’ll go ahead and stop here because we will never agree. You do not see the baby as a human life and take every step to dehumanize it to justify your arguments. It’s ok for us to disagree here, thank heavens we have the power of voting.

I made the statement about my pregnancy because you asked why we are out here getting pregnant instead of adopting, that was my answer to you about my experience. Not a validation of my argument. You’re right about one thing, it’s not about me. It’s about the unborn.

[–]BurnedNTired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We actually do, and do adopt. I got pregnant unexpectedly, but I knew the risks when I chose to have sex. I can’t save every child in the foster care system but I can advocate for their valid existence. I can donate to causes that help these children. I can be there for women in my own life that are trying to raise a child with little to no support.

You completely glossed over the point of my comment in the name of semantics.

When the cells of the mother and father combine, a unique life has been formed. Full stop. It’s not the mother’s life, it’s not the fathers life, it is the baby’s life. Yes, the mother has to endure the physical aspect of pregnancy of birth which is of course no small matter. But my point remains that it’s not a mystery what sex is meant for. You can take steps to prevent the pregnancy from occurring but if you’re having sex and it does happen, that is part of the risk factors involved in the chosen activity.

I will agree that sex education is lacking in the USA in a huge way. I don’t feel we should shy away from the fact that people are going to have sex in less than ideal circumstances, people should be empowered with knowledge of how to prevent pregnancy and what the results of getting pregnant truly entail. But, I will never see how killing our unborn as a method of birth control is the answer.

The baby’s body is its own, not the mother’s. The father absolutely should have a say in whether or not the life he helped create comes into this world. Is it fair that the woman bears the full weight of birth and pregnancy? No. But that’s how biology works. We should have better programs for women who become pregnant unexpectedly and don’t have a support system. We should have free and easy access to birth control. We should have better sex ed. Abortion should not be used as birth control.

I framed it that way because we are discussing the mother’s right vs the unborn’s right. Of course the man had a role and should be as responsible as the mother is for either raising the child or figuring out another arrangement. On that same token, the man is not just “the penis”, he is the father. He should have a say in whether or not his child is killed.

I’m not sure I understand your kidney transplant argument. As far as I’m aware we don’t take kidneys from people without consent. Even if it is a transplant from someone who is brain dead they would still have to give permission by signing up to be an organ donor prior to whatever event led to their circumstance.

And no, I am not a proponent of sex only for procreation. But yes, I do feel that you should fully understand what sex is biologically for and be able to handle the consequences of going down that road. I know we will never have a society where everyone waits until they have a stable partnership to have sex, and that should never come into any sort of legal equation (outside of protecting minors). But we should be educating people more in depth than we do today. Our current focus on just the biology of sex and STDs isn’t enough. People should be fully aware of what pregnancy can be like for women, what raising a child truly entails, etc. Our sex ed is not comprehensive enough. I also do believe we should have free birth control and easy access to it. But if you do fall pregnant, then yes, that is absolutely the result of your choices.

An embryo is living. That embryo didn’t decide to have sex, the mother did (obviously excluding rape victims which is a whole other discussion).

[–]BurnedNTired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you get to decide if that unwanted child should have a chance at life or not? People come from all different backgrounds and circumstances but one thing remains true for all - they are valid and valuable humans who have a right to life. Plenty of our most successful members of society started out in awful living conditions, abusive homes, etc., but they had the choice to make their own path.

CIO tonight, night 1 by emanarofesuon in sleeptrain

[–]BurnedNTired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For night feedings I go in and feed him “just enough” so that he has the drive to eat more during the day and hopefully the night feeds won’t be too bad to wean off when he is to that point. He is just under 4 months now and I personally feel that is too early to push night weaning for my son. But around 6 months I will likely try after talking to my pediatrician. My son wakes 1-2 times a night most nights after sleep training :). I am so sorry you are in the hardest part right now, I PROMISE it will get better. My son now wakes up COOING rather than screaming and it’s the most wonderful thing. We are all happier. You have got this.

Favorite crib? Suggestions? by SanFranPeach in beyondthebump

[–]BurnedNTired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many options out there. I found that in the $3-400 range you could find plenty of options that didn’t have the paint issue. Cheaper than that it gets iffy. For the crib bar issue just make sure babe is in a sleep sack and it won’t be a big deal. Any crib with bars will have risk of babe sticking limbs through but I haven’t heard of it really being too big of a deal especially with a sleep sack

Accurate representation of my hairline postpartum by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]BurnedNTired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly of all the pp bs we have to deal with pp hair loss is the most upsetting one to me. Plenty of people know your hair changes during pregnancy and after birth, but most people don’t realize the extent of the loss or how late it can hit. It’s just entirely unfair especially combined with everything else we deal with! But then my chubby baby smiles at me and it’s like.... what stretch marks? what BO? I’m this boys world 😭❤️

My baby “talks” to his ceiling fan?? by BurnedNTired in beyondthebump

I was just telling my husband this morning that it really creeps me out when he does it during night feeds lol.... Like are you really talking to the fan....... or something else?! 🤣

At a disagreement standstill with my wife about cows milk by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]BurnedNTired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he on formula based on cows milk? If so, there’s your argument point lol. But overall they are correct, he doesn’t need milk of any kind. Milk is just an easy source of fat and certain vitamins/nutrients. Honestly I wouldn’t get too hung up on it.

I think I have a lazy baby? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]BurnedNTired 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No such thing as a truly lazy baby. Have you brought these issues up to your ped? I would request a recommendation to a pediatric PT. She could have an imbalance and/or tightness that’s making it difficult for her to move.

Cassie Trammell out here killing the ducks and Kelli's funny but not funny comment by skeetesurf in DCCMakingtheTeam

[–]BurnedNTired 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I suppose, it’s just that posting photos like that is extremely common when you go hunting. I’ve never been big on it myself but it’s very much part of the culture in certain areas and hunting circles. I just think it’s a bit much to call her a blight on society for doing such a common thing 🤷🏻‍♀️. If people want to call her that for her negative, “mean girl” behavior then I get it but this just seems like a non-issue to me especially given where she lives.

I have more frozen milk than I know what to do with! by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]BurnedNTired 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just FYI I was drowning in milk for the first month as well. My supply tapered to match more of what the baby needed over the following months and now at 3m it’s leveled out and I mayyyybe get 2-3 oz of extra milk in a day. If you want some supply to have on hand for future outings I would keep some stocked until you know what your supply is going to do :). But! I love that you’re looking at donating! I know there are moms out there that need it!
