Just wondering if the OP is out there and going to update all of us!! Hope she is ok.

I agree about that person not being a troll.

Regarding my birth story. It wasn't posted to state that everyone has a tough time after their birth's. My second one was a breeze compared to the first but that you don't know what might happen. So, I personally wouldn't outlay cash I didn't have to buy tickets etc, when I have other debt that isn't due to friviolous things, and then have a bad experience after the birth would would prohibit me from attending anyway.

I may have read this worng, but I think she said she only found out the date a couple weeks ago so perhaps the sister, knowing she was pregnant could have moved the date earlier in the summer or later in September when it would have been easier for the sister to attend if it's so important to her that she be there.

What an odd thing to say! There wasn't anything remotely trollish about that post.

Everybody has to have a first post some time...maybe it's just a lurker decloaking because this was the topic that made him/her decide to jump in to the fray.

My point was how many times does a first time poster choose to jump onto a controversial thread to make their debut? Many times, in the past, it has happened that someone signed on with a new user id to support in favor or against a previous post to add to an argument one way or the other.

If that was not the case I apologize.

I agree totally with you!! I have been reading these posts since the day the OP started the thread, and some people are super RUDE and completely insensitive!!! I am pretty sure some people are just jerks!! I stand by what I and many others have said, OP, DON'T GO!!!! Stay home to recover with your baby!!

p.s.to dallastxcpa. if you thought my dallasbridezilla coment was directed to you, which it wasn't, I can only say, if the shoe fits! You seemed to beleive that was an acurate desciption of yourself, I was thinking of something else, but whatever!!

The original poster needs to make up her mind and let her sister know.

I am stating my opinion and once again you are calling me names. I don't believe you for a minute that your DallasBridezilla comment wasn't aimed at me. Why did you put Dallas in front of it? Right after you stated that some poster was making you mad?

 

[dallastxcpa]

Who are you to expect the OP to tell you that she called her sister? You are coming across as judging OP.

She has posted since her original post. And if she didn't want people to comment on her situation then she shouldn't have posted it on a public forum.

You still haven't answered the question. Who are you to expect her to tell you that she called? There is a difference between commenting and judging. You seem to cry foul when you feel someone is judging you but feel free to judge others.

There is a difference between commenting and judging.

Oh, I don't think so. I think both are making a judgment. A "comment" is a positive judgment while "judging" is a negative one.

I cannot believe that your family expect you to attend this party.
It's nice to have family along when you're having a party - whether it's in celebration of a wedding, graduation, special birthday, retirement or whatever. But if they can't make it, the party still goes ahead and everybody says it's a shame that so-and-so couldn't make it.
If there is a risk that they will cut you off for this then there is obviously some other problem. Anyone who disowns a member of a family for failure to attend a family event was just looking for an excuse to do it and wasn't really close in the first place. I can hardly think of ANYTHING my siblings could do that would make me disown them.
There are so many reasons that you cannot go that it is preposterous that it was even suggested. Also some frankly distasteful answers on this thread.

Great first post! And to the Disboards!!!

I just figured this poster came out of lurkdome on this thread because she was really moved by how RIDICULOUS the OPs family is being, and was further fueled to post by some of the crazy posts in reply. Sometimes you just HAVE to respond, even if you never have before!

Thank you!!! She is all about judging others, but can't understand that the world does not revolve around her!! Some people really annoy me!!

I think you have me confused with another poster I never said blankets = germ protection

I come from a family of scientists and engineers (I'm the black sheep who went to law school). I have picked up a few things about microbiology from my parents (one is highly published in the field).

So I think that a blanket can deter other people from touching a baby. My suggestion is to avoid an airport and airplanes with a newborn.

sorry, I got lost in the replys and thought I was replyingto a different post. Yes blankets discourage touching, but someone here was implying that they were somehow germ shields.
