Daisy, you can be a bit Mom judgy sometimes. Maybe he's not tired, how the hell do you know what his day was like?
Dude, when Gretchen tells you to fuck off, you need to reevaluate.
Yeah. I thought this as well. Wasn't there a breast feeding judgey thread too?
Oh christ. I said (in a flameful) that I didn't understand why women wouldn't give breast feeding a shot (maybe I should've clarified that I meant given the health benefits). This was not a good choice on my part, because there is never a good end to the conversation, and I do not want anyone to feel bad about themselves- truly, I don't.
I believe I also said that I know it doesn't work out for a lot of people and I totally understand that. Then it started to be hysterical comments "It's women like YOU that made me feel horrible that I physically could not!!!!" And I kind of checked out there. My BFF's son was born with physical features that made breast feeding impossible. You think I judged her? Come on.

Ah, ok, sorry. I checked out of that thread too so I didn't see the aftermath.
My comment was really more about ME being "done" at a certain time- baby get your ass in bed.
Gretchen always seems nice and even keeled, but perhaps her "fuck you" comment wasn't. I don't think that means I need to reevaluate.
It wasn't about you and you know it. You said nothing about yourself. You judged any and all parents who would do that and discounted the possibility that their child could not be tired. Your refusal to acknowledge what is clearly written in your words is kind of perplexing. If you're going to make those kind of statements, you should be prepared to own them. You clearly offended several people, and lol at you implication that Gretchen is having some kind of break from her normal personality. No, you just insulted her.
I'm sorry if I offended people. I understand kid sleep is a touchy subject.
I understand that I insulted Gretchen, she made that clear with her FU.
Me saying that a FUCK YOU perhaps was mean is different than me saying Gretchen was going off the deep end. I never said the latter.
