HeatFusion:
I know that's how you are, sweetie.
Just telling you before you go around with that mentality
Omo, this dreamy views you have about children are as real as pink ponies.
Babies are the dirtiest, the smelliest. . . .so dnt go around thinking that way o.
Dnt feed your baby when she needs to be fed, and she will embarass you by crying and howling in public.
I'd rather be viewed as a "gross" mother than a mother who refuse to feed her baby

Never said I would deny my child food. I just have a more conservative way of going about it. Next thing you know, mothers are going to start changing their babies' diaper in public. Stating that it is "natural" for a child to do this. Yada, yada, yada. . . . . . .

I just feel that I would not feel comfortable openly breastfeeding my child. I'll be so in a sense ashamed that you know my child might not be fed properly. But if I'm in an area where I'm comfortable, then both my child and me will and can benefit.

HeatFusion:
Do you know how expensive baby formulas are? With the economic crunch, do you think everybody can afford it?
Do you carry microwaves around to warm baby foods?
If you warm them before you leave, do you know that there is a time limit for those food before it gets spoilt/stale?
Do you know anything about babies? How to care for thm?

1) Unless you are buying some crazy extra vitamin inserted formula. . . . . here in Texas, formula is not that expensive.
2) Nope
3) Haven't you heard of carriers that keep your food warm??
4) Yeah I think I know quite a bit about babies. And how to care for them.

Okay whatever Sissy na Ruby. . . . . . una can breatfeed in public being it is your Gawd given right to.

No need to personally offend me because I don't necessarily agree with your view.  It is just how I am, and think it should be. I just think buying formula or using the pump is more conservative than openly breastfeeding your child.

bluespice:
moreso y'all know that breast feeding has been proven to facilitate closeness and grow love between mother n child

Okay sure.

HeatFusion:
Onyinye, sometimes I question your age. Offense intended, dear.
Do you know that till ABOUT  MONTHS, SOME BABIES STILL NEED BREAST MILK?
Are you going to stay in your house for 8 months?
While your hubby is at work, who will do grocery shopping? Housekeeping shopping? and personal items shoping.

What I'm saying is, why can't she make formula or pump her breast milk at home and carry it in a bottle?

Okay maybe in Nigeria getting a pump is expensive but here in the States. . . . . . there is no excuse. If you can spend hundreds of dollars on pointless toys most infants only chew on and not even play with, you can buy a pump.

[quote author=~Sissy~ link=topic=226070.msg3412296#msg3412296 date=1233524325]so becos they fed from their moms body they need to hide, so that some adults cant be offended. for goodness sake these are hungry kids, anyone who doesnt like BREAST or SEEING A BABY Milk IT  can always face front.[/quote]Or. . . . . the mother can kindly remove herself from the area and go a place where both parties are happy. The child is getting fed, and no one is disgusted.

HeatFusion:
obviously, therre ain't no place they can go.
Wht mother do you think wants to show her breast in public?

As someone suggested, there is a special bra for beastfeeding mothers. Or she could simply cover he baby with a blanket, to not "annoy" any olofofos that "accidently" looks her way.

What I think is. . . . . if I was the type to breastfeed, I wouldn't even be in a public place i.e. a park. I understand a doctor's office cause well you are forced to go but other than that . . . . . I won't be going to places I KNOW numerous people are around. I remember when I was younger and we had an Awards Ceremony, here comes this women in the FRONT ROW breastfeeding her child underneath a blanket. I'm like, "Can't you walk yourself to your car and do this?" Like seriously. . . .

[quote author=~Sissy~ link=topic=226070.msg3412277#msg3412277 date=1233523870]help me ask them oo, seant21 and tope2000, i mean like seriously when adults are hungry they hate wherever the heck the want to stay, in the bus, bustop, etc. but when a baby is hungry the mom has to hide in the slum to fed her, just so that some "folks" might not be offended or disgusted by seeing a baby sucking what belongs to her.  [/quote]But its just gross. And your example makes no sense. Because when an adult or older child is hungry they don't need another person's personal body part to feed them. They feed themselves. But for babies and new borns, yeah they need their mother's breast to feed them.

Breastfeeding in public is just nasty. I'm sorry but ain't there some place you and your child can go? That shit just be ruining a girl's appetite like a snitch.  I mean Idk how many bloody times I have been at the park with my peoples to look over at some woman breastfeeding her child. And it always be when I'm eating ice cream or something. I'm just like, "Can you go inside your car or something?" Or at least put a blanket over the child and your chest. Ain't nobody want to see that. Really that is just sick.

echelon:
What steps have you taken?

Gini? You want me to list all I have done for you or something? Do I win a prize for this?

Am I the only one who is strangely reminded of that movie "Phat Girlz"??

Anyways. . . . . yeah I was once told that a Nigerian man would never marry me because of my figure. Like seriously. . . . . do I care?

But anyways. . . . . mexicans do the same thing to their women. They want their women thick because they feel if she loses too much weight, other guys might want her and they might end up losing their wife. So I think your man is just insecure with himself because he feels that possibly you might be too good for him or you might feel you can do better and might leave.

ChinenyeN:
I biakwala ozo. I gaala site ahu m nyere gi maka "Survival Igbo"?

Of course I have.

echelon:
I'm not sure you want to learn the language…

And you say this because??

DANG!!!!

So where have you Igbos been all this while??
Mayne since there is so many of you. . . . . . . maybe just maybe one of yall could possibly help me learn the language.

So I guess the P in Stephen's name means Phoenix?!?

So how you like my Poem, Phoenix?? Wrote on the top of my head.

NO, Ruby, The whole "submissive" part was just to better express the love/feeling the girl has for the man. Doesn't mean how I feel.

DaPhoenix:
ch . . . this is a Stephen appreciation thread . . . or was. lol I guess, go ahead.

Thanks.


Love is like honey, it lasts a lifetime.
The very rumination of you has me keening for your subtle touch
To saunter in your presence is the sedative I will annihilate for
No baby, I don't want to cater to you
Baby, baby let me, let me be your submissive slave
For you I will massacre the agony brought upon you
Stroke every ache mutilating the essence of your beauty
Oliberate without exception every tear cascading down your face
Without hesitation, donate my body to you for whatever solicitude you please
If you do just one courtesy for me
Finally take notice of me.

This shit is phucking ridiculous. For once I was learning my language with people I have become to adore and now some ara goes and closes it? I'm truly never going to learn my language. This is hella stupid. To hell with Nairaland. I guess I'll have to find a new forum to bond with.

Ermmmm. . . . . . Phoenix, Could I post one of my poems?? Pretty Pleazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!! With cookies on top!!!

BWAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH GAWD!!!   OH GAWD!! ! OH GAWD!!!

Jeevus Crisp on Sunday Afternoon. . . . . . that was some funny shit.

On to more important things. . . . . about virgin men, ermmmm. . . . . I wouldn't ordinarily go with a guy who has no "experience". I'm not saying he has to have had sex with every girl and they momma. It is just like I feel more comfortable when a guy has been down that road once before. So essence, I don't detest virgin men, but I don't go for them either.

@post
Man that is some funny shit right there. I mean hahahahahaha. . . . .  the part with the cave had me tearing up. Seriously after him not wanting to take his clothes off. . . . . I would have just left. Drive myself to Luby's or something. I mean let me recuperate from the disappointment away from you.

Onyinye it wasn't that serious. Peep stillwater, bluespice and DaPhoenix laughing at it. Sorry that offended you though.

Ahhhhh. . . . oh Stephen. Who said I was taking it seriously? All I was wondering was how the poster could be such a hypocrite.

Very interesting. Very interesting indeed.

Well you know usually, I would have you know retaliated on the comments posted by you apes  monkeys  parasites  men but you know I see it ain't even worth it.

@Post

Nice of you to start yet another thread to bash women. Cherekwe ooooo. . . . . . wasn't yo ass not too long ago talking bout how women start up all these threads to bash you guys?? How freaking ironic you would do the same thing. Efulefu si ebea zuzupu nwanzuzu.

At least you could do for your fetish over little girls is hide it. But display it where people can see it?? Come on, I know you watched "To Catch a Predator"

HeatFusion:
So true, they get so mad with that nasty ghetto attitude. grrrr

I mean, like wdh, give us the simpler version if you don't want your name mispronounced.

Hey, I absolutely hate it when folk mispronounce my name. I swear you would think my name was in freaking hebrew. So that is why I tell people just call me Onyi oka. All this "Onayne" Onyeye" "Onye" <------- Yes these are the ways my name is pronounced and attempted to be spelled.

That is why my friends had to change their names because people are too inconsiderate to learn it right so instead of Chukwunonso, they changed it Chuks. And from Ekenechukwu, they changed it to Kenny.

KarmaMod:
Rofl. Osisi was this in the South?

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaarup!!!

kalokalo:
At this PathMark close to where I used to live, I found regular fellows with names like Uniqua, Todneisha, Sh Teile, Saquan. Needless to say, their names represent a part of the black urban culture.

What is the point of all this? For us to consider giving these made up names to our own children? I mean what??
