If your kid is old enough to ask to nurse, he's too old to nurse

Actually my kids were old enough to ask at 11 months. They made the sign for more in sign lanuage when they wanted to nurse. I could feel her laying in the dark in my bed banging her fists together signing away like mad. I had to stop going to her when she cried at night and just let her cry it out. It wasn't easy. I must say BF never worked that well as a weight loss tool for me (having to give up all milk and eggs becasue of the babies allergy did work great for weight loss though.)

I wholeheartedly agree! My sister is in gymnastics and there is one family there that is dead on this woman. Well, I don't think the mother's reasoning has to do with fitness, but still.

Each of her kids nursed until they were at LEAST five. They would walk up to mom, have a conversation, climb into her lap and lift up her shirt to start.....

I always said the same thing "If they are talking to you in full-sentence conversations, and can COMPLETELY initiate things themselves, it's WAAAY to long".

I think they tried to make this woman over the top, but I just laughed knowing we've seen it IRL!

what a funny episode!! and $20 for a jewelery gift!! What's he going to get with that?

Haha that is what I said...I was watching the show with DBF and he looked all worried - I was wearing the necklace he gave me for Xmas, and he said "You know your necklace was more than $20, I promise!" I told him I didn't care how much it was! Guess I should watch my mouth.
it was a good episode, but I want Andrew GONE. pushed off a cliff, hit by a car, stabbed in the face, whatever. He is scum!

I agree with you about Andrew

I would just tell him to go. Get out and live his life if he thinks its so easy. I bet then he would think twice. There is only so much a parent cant do. It will hurt Bree. But I would not allow him to manipulate me.

Did anyone else notice the horrified look on Andrew's boyfriend's face when Andrew was threatening Bree with abuse accusations? He looked genuinely concerned for Bree. I have a feeling he'll have some involvement down the road and perhaps turn against Andrew or shed some light on what a monster Andrew really is....

 

[Wishing on a star]

Yes, I definitely noticed that!
He looked like he was having to hold back, biting his tounge, to not say or do anything. It was like he really didn't know what to do.

I think that he is beginning to see that he is being used and demeaned just for Andrew's agendas. Didn't Andrew say something completely degrading and demeaning, like "C'mon, I'll buy you something pretty..." ?

Definately a story-line here!

thanks for the recap!

Yes, Andrews boy friend seem way to nice for him. I feel sorry for him because Andrew is only using him to make his mother mad. I think you may be right.

well, guess we know "who wears the pants" in THAT relationship, huh?

So the guy in the strip club at the very end appears to be the father of that baby Libby is carrying, agreed? What do you all think will happen with that? Is Libby planning to give up the baby in exchange for lots of goodies? Is that guy really the father? Does he know about the plan? Are they in it together to scam prospective adoptive parents, or is she plotting behind the guy's back? She told Gabby "I am smarter than EVERYONE thinks." What did she mean by that? Is she going to have him swoop in at the last minute and say he is the father so she can't give the baby away, or is she planning to tell him something happened to the baby but really give the baby up? Hmmm...

My guess is something like that. She thinks she can get all these gifts, that she can't give back because they were illigal and then the father will say "wait that is my baby too." Or just change her mind. Either way Carlos is going to get his heart broken. When did he end up being such a decent guy anyway? I think the writers did a 180 on him. The whole gabby not being able to get pregant I missed and I don't really belive. I think they are just doing it to make this story line more interesting. I just don't buy it.

Gabby was pretty stupid to agree not to tell the lawyer, because now there won't be any legal documentation of anything they give to Libby.

There was a movie on LifeTime with Stockard Channing and Laura Dern where Laura was pregnant with her 4th or 5th child, dirt poor, living in a trailer, etc. Stockard and her hubby come along to adopt the baby. Well, Laura and her scum bag hubby can come up with a staggering list of things they need money for. They need A/C for their trailer, but the hubby spends the A/C money on a part for his truck because he can't look for work without a truck, on and on. In that story the adoptive parents just POURED money into the birth mom and in the end the baby had the cord around it's neck and was brain damaged. Neither couple ended up taking the baby - everybody just left the hospital and the baby presumably went to foster care. BUT while the birth parents were scamming the adoptive parents for money they really were going to give up the baby.

So I wonder if Libby plans to give up the baby or if she is just planning to take all she can get and back out of the deal?

I was thinking the same thing. He's really starting to realize just how evil and manipulative Andrew is, and I think he's going to get tired of it. I bet he'll end up telling the court that Andrew made him hit him to blame Bree.

I think Libby will not give up the baby. She said she had no idea who the father is, but I think it's pretty clear she does. She'll probably change her mind at the last minute and, as someone pointed out, since there is no documentation of the gifts that they'll be giving her, Gabby and Carlos will be out of luck.

 

[Imzadi]

...since there is no documentation of the gifts that they'll be giving her, Gabby and Carlos will be out of luck.

Oh, I don't know. Gabby is pretty resourceful and Carlos has some ...err... "friends" he made during that stint in prison that may be able to help them "reclaim" whatever gifts they gave.

That is true, neither one of them give up to easy. They don't like to lose, and often find ways not too.
