Anonymous Facebook letter about baby photos

Any letter that starts off with "I have got together with a few of the girls…" reeks of bully high school behaviour. Which isn't even acceptable in high school.

This mother shared this letter with Em Rusciano. 

Em felt compelled to share it on social media - and write a piece on it. You can read that whole piece here. But first, the letter - can you even believe this tripe? De-friend for good, girl. And never speak to them in real life, either!

Tvillinger og leggetid! / Twins bedtime

'Twins bedtime': the viral video with over 1.8 million hits.

Says the video creator Henriette Jonassen:

"I made a little blog for this video; http://twinswins.wordpress.com/

I've been struggeling with getting my twins asleep for a few weeks now (due to extremely hot weather and long, sunny days), and I've tried different methods. This one was definitely the worst one! But it gave me a good laugh tho.

And BTW: they have always shared room, I just thought I'd try something different for a few days, and it turned out to be a bad idea."

Can you relate? Are you a twinnie mum (or dad) and are going through this now?

My husband and I have LOADS of experience putting our twins to bed. We run a bloody tight ship and it's the thing we pride ourselves on the most - a united front when it comes to bedtime. And a no nonsense approach. Everyone sleeps in their own bed and nobody gets up during the night. Thank GOD. That sleep deprivation in the first eight or so months was sending me mental. I can relate to Henriette's frustration though - things can go pear-shaped super quick if you don't have a steely resolve with these mini people!

Baby Makes a Valid Argument - America's Funniest Home Videos

On its way to being viral, this video is just brilliant. The relationship between dog and child can be fantastic.

The best part? I can't decide. The child's gesticulating or the dog's deadpan face. Best.

"Kids Are Pretty Much Just Tiny Drunk Adults"

It has been said that toddlers are like tiny-sized drunks, and there is certainly evidence everywhere to support this. If you have kids or are around them, you can recount lots of hilarious tales about what they do. If you have photo or video evidence, even better.

I came across this fabulous BuzzFeed gallery compile to prove that kids, yeah... they look like mini people who simply cannot hold their drink.

Here are some of the best:

3. They conduct themselves poorly in public.

4. Their depth perception is all over the place.

5. Seriously, they just can’t seem to get their food to their mouths.

6. They are totally unable to predict when they’re about to pass out.

7. They always find themselves in totally inexplicable situations.

10. They have poor impulse control.

11. They often fall asleep on or near toilets.

13. They have no sense of shame.

22. They draw on others’ faces when they pass out.

26. They have no shame about being seen without pants on.

'Should You Have Kids' Flowchart

So... you're deciding whether to have kids?

Here is a humourous flowchart to help you decide:

Sooo... any more convinced? Of course, it's all in jest.

But... do take heed of your love of sleep. And ignore those who tell you that within mere months you will be sleeping beautifully... you won't. Give it a few solid years, factoring in changes in routine, teething, illness, and the rest.

On another note: COFFEE!

'The Motherhood' feat. Fiat 500L - viral parenting rap video

A TV ad for the Fiat 500L featuring a 'mummy rap' is going viral... 

It features lines like this:

"I express, like the best, from these holes in my chest. Wear a nursing bra, like a bulletproof vest… Work versus home is a mental combination, with my elbows deep in infant defecation.'

Breastfeeding in uniform – why is this considered offensive?

Have a look at this photo - do you find it offensive?

It seems that some do.

Crystal Scott, founder of the American breastfeeding support group called ‘Mom2Mom’, and a military spouse, was behind the photo as part of a campaign to help support National Breastfeeding Awareness Month in the US.

In the photo, two Air National Guard members are nursing their babies in uniform, and it has garnered lots of attention globally.

"A lot of people are saying it's a disgrace to the uniform," she told the US Today show. "They're comparing it to urinating and defecating [while in uniform]. It's extremely upsetting. Defecating in public is illegal. Breastfeeding is not."

Terran Echegoyen-McCabe is the mother breastfeeding her 10 month old twin daughters in the photo, along with fellow breastfeeding mum Christina Luna, and she says she was surprised by the negative reaction to the photo. 

"There isn't a policy saying we can or cannot breastfeed in uniform," she has said. "I think it's something that every military mom who is breastfeeding has done... I think we do need to be able to breastfeed in uniform and be protected."

While there is no policy about breastfeeding while in uniform, an Air Force spokesperson, Captain Rose Richeson told Today that that "airmen should be mindful of their dress and appearance and present a professional image at all times while in uniform."

Okay, fair call… but is this photo as controversial as it has been made out?

As a former twin breastfeeding mother – yes, sometimes at the same time – I find this image beautiful, natural, and it brings back memories of such lovely, bonding times with my little babies.

What do you think?
