Mommy Thread

[graceanne]

At the request of itw

Yeah, not okay, although I'm ashamed to admit my kid was loud as all fuck on an airplane. Argh it was upsetting and I tried my best but he was so freaking tired. Anyway, lessons learned and he never repeatedly kicked the person in front of him!

But can we not have the women thread turn into the mommy thread?

The one time I flew with my daughter she climbed all over me and K, but left everyone else alone.

Or can we, as passengers, be alloted a certain amount of duct tape?

LOL!

Oy! Ha. I wouldn't mind a parenting thread actually, as long as no one asks, gee I walk around naked with a collar and my kids are asking questions! What's up - why won't they live and let live! Ahem, Fetlife.

Ok, I'm exagerating.

Please, please, tell me you're exaggerating. Oh, please.

I gotta agree. If anyone walk around naked around their kids, with a collar, just keep it to yourself. I don't want to know.

I am. Don't worry. But I haven't related to most posters in any of the groups where parenting issues have come up.

One of the reasons I'm second thinking this whole children thing. I detest clothing.

I know I know, but these are things one has to consider. I mean. at least 18 years of clothes ALL OF THE TIME!

 

[intothewoods]

Oh I was being silly. It was more the look at me kids -- I'm kinky! tone. I know perfectly good parents (parents of my friends, old school hippies) who are practically nudists. That's their comfort level with nudity. They weren't shoving their sexual reawakening down their kids' throats.

Man, I thought I had problems when my son sneaked into my closet and found a crop. It's for the horses we keep in the other closet!

So? I was joking about the nudity thing. I don't walk around butt ass naked anymore, cause my son is six, but I sleep in just a nightgown, no panties. He's allowed in the bathroom with me when I'm pottying and showering. He's also allowed in the room when I'm changing or getting dressed. If he starts being uncomfortable with it, I'll worry. At this point he doesn't even notice.

My issue is when nudity is kinky and you're doing it around your kids. If you go from never being nude to always being nude we're talking consequential problems. For me nudity is natural and ok.

Once, when my oldest and her best friend were four, we were in the middle of a move. I put our toys (including a set of schackles) into a box, then piled books on top of that box, and then put two boxes of books on top of that box and put them in the back of what was going to be our closet. Then I went into the kitchen to unpack. They somehow still managed to get into that box and put the shackles on their ankles, like little prisoners, then waddled into the kitchen "Mama! Look!"

Like that wasn't bad enough, the keys were at the other house.

I wish I could remember where I heard this quote - and I'm sure not exact on the wording - but it was something along the lines of: "Every parent damages their children. Some just put a smudge on the window, some tear the whole house down." Something like that.

I think just being cognizant that you want to be a good parent, and making an effort to be a good parent, is huge. You won't do everything right, you just won't.

That is what I tell myself. That being worried about it is a good start. The fact is that I feel it is also the way I excuse myself for my shortcomings.

My kids are happy and well adjusted. I guess that in itself should be good enough.

But when the younger one goes off on a huge melt-down tantrum and you get criticized for being too permissive/ being a working mother when you don't really need the income/ blah blah ... it gets to you.

And when the older one forgets to do her homework once again or just does not study and you get looked down because you are not involved enough in your child's life/ you are lazy and that why your kid is lazy/ blah blah ... THAT too gets to you.

Strangers opinion I do not care. Family members ... irks me to no end. Especially when they are trying to be "helpful"

To all the moms on this board...

I ask that you teach your children only one important lesson and it is this: "If we are riding on an airplane, and there is a blonde lady named Keroin sitting in front of you, and you kick her chair non-stop for six hours, a monster will come down out of the overhead bin and drag you away forever and you will never see Mommy and/or Daddy again."

Yes, this will no doubt trigger some nightmares but I feel the risk is worth it.

Thank you.

My kids have been flying since few months old. And we are talking 12hours flights. When they were very little I always got bulk head seats. When they got to an age they would kick I tried but would not always get them. I always make sure to stop them if I notice, but at times I've missed it and did not mind the person in front telling them directly. And of course I apologized and followed up with my own scolding.

Honestly thou the worse I had was not a kid kicking, but a guy sitting next to me, blasting the air flow on his head, keeping the light on the whole flight and getting up every freaking hour ... GET A CORRIDOR SEAT NEXT TIME!!!!!

I was mostly joking. But I've had some issues with my niece. She's curious (4). But you know, aunt wenchie is just a freak. I don't really have to be naked with her, but if my belly shows she just gets so excited about my belly ring.

I showed my sister in law my nipple rings, and she happened into the room and for the rest of my trip she kept asking to see my boobs. She did say they were pretty.

But with kids that age there's always one around when you're showering or changing or something. I don't know just one of those things.

LOL Kids. Honestly, the reason she's so curious and all is because her mother probably is modest around her. That's ok. But when kids are raised in a house where nudity isn't a big deal, they deal with it like it's not a big deal.

For example. We have over nighters with misc kids routinely. One little girl was uncomfortable with the girls running around in long t shirts and their underwear. Another little girl (7) walks into the bathroom when I'm bathing or going potty and doesn't even bat an eye. I can tell who's family is comfortable with nudity and who's family isn't.

My point? If they're your kids, and you're comfortable with nudity and don't ever make a fuss about it with them, they won't ever make a fuss about it either. It'll just be the norm.

yeah, my sister in law is pretty modest around her kids. I think the little one got the nudist gene from our side of the family tho. Mom is a modest nudest, she's comfortable as long as no one is looking. Me, as long as you're comfortable, I'm comfortable. I think my niece kind of instinctually has my view, as she does with many things.

I know she finds me a curiousity because I'm so different from her parents. I just kind of wonder how my views will change, and if they change, when and if I have kids.

Master's youngest daughter is also fascinated with my belly button ring. she once asked me why i had two "shiny boo-boo's in my belly".

every time she sees it, which isnt often but i dont hide it or anything, she points it out to me

So. Moms. Am I the only mom who uses potty time as a chance to sit down and get two minutes of privacy?

I was 'pottying' and pondering this today.

That's my "taking care of my nails" time. LOL
Privacy is thou not always guaranteed, but I can use the "I have to wait for my nail to dry" before having to go back and take care of whatever end-of-the-world is happening

When the kids were younger that was absolutely true. Thankfully now I can tell them I am taking a bath and i take a very very long relaxing bath to do my pondering.

I fell asleep after posting that! But thank you. I guess, not all that much was up, just a sucky night. I guess kids have cranky ass pissy nights like everyone else.

As for privacy, I still don't close the door to the bathroom, lol. I have naptime and nighttime though. And showers.

Flying with kids..especially international.....use Bonjella or Phenergan, the latter definitely does the trick.

Just a spoonful, blissful peace.

In most states in this country (US), it's considered child abuse these days to sedate children for other than medical necessity.

Can these be distro-ed to the nearest passengers then? The kid freaking out all night on amrtrak WOULD be cute if I were high enough.
