Momma’s Coffee Break Friday

It’s Friday again and what an amazing week we had here. For my little family it was more low-key then anything but last weekend was great. As some of you read, Little A got his first hair cut. Talk about a change.
So since it is Friday and this is open chat feel free to talk about anything. What movie you want to see or have seen. I also have a poll in the right hand side of Babylune for Do you think OctoMom will resort to porn.
How do you feel towards
- Jon & Kate plus 8
- Alfie the 12 year old dad
- Breastfeeding in public
- Bottles being contaminated
- Unsafe toys
- OctoMom (mother of 14)
Have at it and have fun!
I feel that Jon and Kate are doing the best that they can, just like any parent. We are all only human and I don’t understand the extreme negativity that is directed toward them. We are a very judgemental society. People always assume that they can do a better job than someone else – make better decisions, treat people better, etc. It’s very easy to sit in judgement when you are not living it.
Sometimes the kids are crying or upset or Jon and Kate say sarcastic things to each other. That’s the way family is. I think that you can also see a lot of love in that family. If it works for them, who are we to judge?
Alfie and the young mom – I hope that they have a supportive family to help them raise the baby. It’s going to be challenging for them, but a supportive family could make all the difference. Very sad that their childhoods were over so very quickly.
I nursed all my children and I am fine with breastfeeding in public as long as it’s done discreetly. Personally, I did not chose to breastfeed in public very often. I like privacy.
I am not familiar with the contaminated bottle story.
Unsafe toys – also not familiar with the particular story, but child safety is very important to me.
The mother of 14 children – I do not understand why she wants so many babies (one at a time wore me out and I’m still exhausted to this day), but her decisions are her own. I have seen a little bit of her and I’m not sure that I understand her reasoning, but it looks like she is being watched closely, by the entire world. Hopefully she will be a good mom. Her older children, from what I could see, looked healthy and well-cared for.
I know that there’s something about an offer for her to appear in an adult film. Again, that’s up to her – none of my business. Porn isn’t for everyone, but obviously there are a lot of fans because it’s a big industry. As long as it’s adults only, it doesn’t bother me a bit.
I guess I’ll comment on the only one that is not a result of an individual’s choice – unsafe toys.
I really think that companies need to step up their standards and look at how to deliver better quality – particularly where children are involved. It makes me mad that consumers initially had no idea that there might be safety issues surrounding certain products.
Well, that’s my two cents.
