Webmama_Tina |

|
20:08:15 |
Webmama_Tina |

your first question |
|
20:08:16 |
hathor |
Okay my 1 year old is going to sleep in

sleepy |
|
20:08:28 |
hathor |

|
20:08:58 |
milkymama |

|
20:09:09 |
hathor |
Hi I'm Hathor, (Heather in real life) |
|
20:09:30 |
JustMoza |
? |
|
20:09:38 |
hathor |
My littlest is going to be two a tthe
end of this month! can't believe it |
|
20:10:03 |
Webmama_Tina |
upcoming chatters: JustMoza |
|
20:10:13 |
hathor |
and I'm thinking she's going to be my
last, so who knows what will happen |
|
20:10:22 |
hathor |
with the comic? |
|
20:10:34 |
JustMoza |
It's been a while for me since I've been
in chat so please forgive me. Now Hathor
- HOW do you find the time? |
|
20:11:03 |
hathor |
perhaps I'll start having to make stuff
up, :angel: |
|
20:11:07 |
JustMoza |
I only have one who is 8 now (cry my BF
days are long over) |
|
20:11:13 |
Webmama_Tina |
lol |
|
20:11:34 |
hathor |
How do I find the time? hmmmmmmmmmmmm I
wonderi f I have time? |
|
20:11:45 |
Webmama_Tina |
(sorry, that was a lol for what hathor
said, not you moza) :) |
|
20:12:22 |
hathor |
My dh is really a hands on guy but I
still don't leave most of the kids
hardly ever, but having more than 1
helps, I think because they play with
each other |
|
20:12:29 |
JustMoza |
lol :D |
|
20:12:36 |
hathor |
and I draw really really reallly fast! |
|
20:12:44 |
hathor |
much faster than I type |
|
20:13:34 |
hathor |
I come up with ideas when I'm out and
about wit h the kiddos and then draw
them sitting at the kitchen table |
|
20:13:57 |
hathor |
just takes a few minutes...then I spend
way toooooooooo much time on the
computer. |
|
20:14:01 |
JustMoza |
I'm a work at home while unschooling mom
and I have a hard time, are you still
unschooling? |
|
20:14:33 |
hathor |
yep, I unschool too, and |
|
20:14:49 |
hathor |
spend a LOT of time with the kids at
parkdays. |
|
20:15:10 |
milkymama |
what exactly is unschooling"?" |
|
20:15:32 |
hathor |
Unschooling is homeschooling without the
curriculum, |
|
20:15:40 |
milkymama |
oh cool |
|
20:15:53 |
hathor |
and without t he idea that the parents
have to TEACH for the kids to learn. |
|
20:16:11 |
JustMoza |
Unschooling is a kind of homeschooling,
it's very dependent upon what the child
wants to learn |
|
20:16:43 |
hathor |
The idea is that the kids WANT to learn,
and that a lot of times grownups just
get in their way :) |
|
20:17:06 |
sophy |
? |
|
20:17:25 |
hathor |
we don't look at everything as a
learning experience, but funny just
about everything is! |
|
20:17:43 |
Webmama_Tina |
sophy's up next after justmoza's done |
|
20:17:55 |
hathor |
It's kind of hard to describe, but how
your child learns to walk is
unschooling.... |
|
20:17:59 |
JustMoza |
You can go ahead sophy |
|
20:18:05 |
hathor |
sophy? |
|
20:18:13 |
sophy |
How do you discipline? |
|
20:18:22 |
hathor |
Well.... |
|
20:18:34 |
sophy |
I have a 3.5 dd and 1. ds |
|
20:18:50 |
hathor |
I go from gentle discipline |
|
20:19:03 |
hathor |
to barely holding it together some days |
|
20:19:10 |
sophy |
same here |
|
20:19:22 |
hathor |
just like most of you |
|
20:19:47 |
hathor |
I try to look at our family as a team
that works things out |
|
20:19:47 |
sophy |
lately i've been taking my dd to the
bathroom for a time-in |
|
20:19:57 |
sophy |
if the little one is ok with it |
|
20:20:03 |
hathor |
but I do have a temper sometimes too. |
|
20:20:51 |
hathor |
Time-in a room worked a few times for
us, but I have a difficult time getting
my dd (eldest) to do anything she
doesn't want to do |
|
20:21:16 |
hathor |
so I have had to adapt to a more
discussy type relationship. |
|
20:21:31 |
JustMoza |
? |
|
20:21:42 |
hathor |
I've found a LOT of recent advice from
How to Talk... |
|
20:21:54 |
hathor |
The first chapter is all I've read |
|
20:22:15 |
sophy |
thanks, that helps |
|
20:22:17 |
hathor |
But my philosophy today is that I need
to be quiet more often. |
|
20:22:35 |
hathor |
I plan on doing some more comics about
it soon... |
|
20:22:47 |
sophy |
looking forward |
|
20:23:00 |
hathor |
Hey, and I geta lot of help from a
friend who runs www.enjoyparenting.com |
|
20:23:31 |
hathor |
hehas a daily e-zine that gives me a
helpful feeling to start the day |
|
20:23:42 |
hathor |
JustMoza? |
|
20:23:57 |
JustMoza |
I'm looking foward to new comics on the
discussion technique myself |
|
20:24:17 |
hathor |
It goes somethinig lke this |
|
20:24:35 |
hathor |
My kids do something that make me crazy |
|
20:24:35 |
JustMoza |
That's what we do is just talk about
everything - talk about the rpos and
cons of doing something - who it would
upset - who it would upset etc |
|
20:24:54 |
hathor |
my first reaction is not a good one |
|
20:25:00 |
JustMoza |
pros & cons I mean - the older he gets
the easier it is - how old is your
oldest? |
|
20:25:18 |
hathor |
so on good days I try taking a deep
breath, calming down and |
|
20:25:31 |
hathor |
thinking of a better reaction. |
|
20:25:59 |
hathor |
Usually when I think of a better
reaction quite a few minutes have passed
already |
|
20:26:19 |
hathor |
and we can move on to something else
:blush: |
|
20:26:24 |
JustMoza |
I like to think that the reaction is my
CHOICE - it's not something that just
happens, I choose how my reaction
happens, it is hard but it gets easier |
|
20:27:01 |
JustMoza |
Sorry - so how old are your kids? |
|
20:27:04 |
hathor |
My eldest is 9 and we have always had a
volatile relationship, and a really
lovely one too. She helps to keep me
real |
|
20:28:02 |
caitplove |
? |
|
20:28:17 |
JustMoza |
real is good- at that age they really
call it like they see it! LOL |
|
20:28:20 |
hathor |
Yes, I used ot think that my reaction
was caused by others, my love for my
kidlets has shown me that my reaction
has more to do with me. |
|
20:28:38 |
hathor |
Isn't that the truth! |
|
20:28:45 |
hathor |

Zoomommy |
? |
|
20:32:11 |
hathor |
zalenskifine ? your question? |
|
20:32:59 |
zalenskifine |
I just wanted to say hi and I was
wondering some more about your
relationship with your oldest, my son
and i are kinda like that and he is five |
|
20:33:06 |
hathor |
kristenandmadeleine ?your question? |
|
20:33:33 |
kristenandmadeleine |
Ohh, zalenskifine just asked. I'll wait
until after they ask their question |
|
20:34:04 |
hathor |
Well, when I am being authentic and true
and feeling right with things we usually
get along really well, but when I'm |
|
20:34:15 |
hathor |
at a loss we can but heads. |
|
20:34:33 |
hathor |
for instance, I tried to teach her to
read |
|
20:35:03 |
hathor |
when she was 6, against my unschooly-y
pricniple |
|
20:35:08 |
zalenskifine |
we are having troubles with reading
too, he is pure resistance |
|
20:35:55 |
hathor |
I got a book and made her sit and read
it with me, there was yelling and tears
and she threw |
|
20:36:04 |
hathor |
temper tantrums too. |
|
20:36:31 |
hathor |
Then one day she hid the book in the
closet :banghead |
|
20:37:10 |
hathor |
and I couldn't find it and I was sooooo
mad, but it gave me a wake-up call that
I was forcing mywill on hers. |
|
20:37:33 |
hathor |
why was I so set on her reading?
becausef o my educational hang ups. |
|
20:37:36 |
zalenskifine |
I know I need to chill about that kind
of stuff but I start to feel that
pressure for him to do things |
|
20:38:18 |
hathor |
so I shut-up and backed off and she
taught herself to read at 8. |
|
20:38:58 |
hathor |
There is a lot of pressure, but if you
can find a way to keep it from bothering
you |
|
20:39:07 |
hathor |
I promise you he will read |
|
20:39:15 |
zalenskifine |
thanks, I wanted to make sure I joined
the chat today, especially because of
the lost reference! |
|
20:39:34 |
hathor |
Kids really want to read when they're
ready for it. |
|
20:39:48 |
hathor |
Gosh, isn't that the BEST show ever! |
|
20:39:56 |
RAGDOLL |
I have a 15 yr old who has been
unschooled and now a 4 month old. My
oldest resisted everything I tried early
on then taught herself in a matter of a
week, same with typing, spelling, etc. |
|
20:40:21 |
zalenskifine |
I know, its hard with kiddos, the
outside world (family) is always putting
the pressure on |
|
20:40:22 |
hathor |
Yep, when they are ready it just comes
to them. |
|
20:40:36 |
hathor |
Yep, here's an idea |
|
20:40:36 |
RAGDOLL |
as soon as she found a reason to want to
she went for it |
|
20:40:42 |
zalenskifine |
Lost is the best show, crazy ending! |
|
20:41:00 |
hathor |
Start teaching yourself a bunch of
stuff, like latin or guitar |
|
20:41:20 |
hathor |
It'll give you something to do to stop
pressureing |
|
20:41:44 |
hathor |
your kids and then when your family
starts pressuring you |
|
20:41:55 |
zalenskifine |
I know, i'm back in school now so that
helps even things out around here |
|
20:42:05 |
RAGDOLL |
my 15 year old just asked to learn the
violin so now we will both be learning |
|
20:42:13 |
hathor |
you can whip out the latin phrases until
they are so board they leave you alone.
hee hee |
|
20:42:43 |
zalenskifine |
thats a good idea, you remind me of some
of my good friends around here, lots of
love, gotta go study |
|
20:42:47 |
mamaofthree |
? |
|
20:43:11 |
hathor |
Yep, when they start to pressure you
break out the books and wow them with
what you're choosing to learn! |

i have read about your UA and was
wondering about your thoughts on
reproductive rights. |
|
20:45:10 |
kristenandmadeleine |
I mean, we have the right to abort, the
right to elect a section, but not the
right to vbac in most cases |
|

c-sections. without |
|
20:48:11 |
hathor |
their consents! |
|
20:48:18 |
kristenandmadeleine |
i swear, trying to find someone to to
vbac me and who wont freak out about my
last birth thinking i am broken makes
shoving my baby back up the birth canal
seem like tea time |

Man, I had a lovelyh omebirth in Tampa

get to her? |
|
20:49:41 |
kristenandmadeleine |
there is only one midwife that will take
me on and because everyone else is
scared of my past condition"" |
|
20:49:48 |
hathor |
she rocks! and medicaid paid for it :D |
|
20:49:52 |
kristenandmadeleine |
i have heard of her. is she through
labour of love? |
|
20:50:21 |
kristenandmadeleine |
i delivered through bayfront medical
center. they thought it was no big deal
for me not to see my daughter for 20
hours after a section under general. |
|
20:50:36 |
hathor |
I can get you her info if you'll e-mail
me (you can tell her I sent you) |
|
20:51:07 |

and I would love to hear how it goes. |
|
20:51:19 |
kristenandmadeleine |
awsome. 'i have fou'nd a coupl'e of
midwives 1through the dunedin birthing
center labour of love. my friend
delivered through them and had nothing
but great things to say about them. i
am in st petersburg |
|
20:51:55 |
hathor |
It might be worthwhile to reade some of
the unassisted birth stories there are
women who've done vbacs ua |
|
20:51:56 |
kristenandmadeleine |
i am not pregnant right now, buti want
to know my options |
|
20:52:15 |

with someone attending me |
|
20:52:21 |
kristenandmadeleine |
my placenta ruptured last time |
|
20:52:40 |
hathor |
Well, whaty t haere doing to mothers
with the c-sections is atravesty. |
|
20:53:10 |
hathor |
It's up to us to spread the word that
birth is normal. |
|
20:53:11 |
kristenandmadeleine |
it is. treating us like broken women
after. i had my ob tell me off for
asking about a vbac because of g fetal
death!! uterine rupture1!!!"" |
|
20:53:44 |
kristenandmadeleine |
it is a damn shame when i know the stats
better than he does and have to point

Ok my question, I'm trying to wean my
4mo. old son of his swaddling
blanket--he's big and he has started
rolling over in it :( . He was sleeping
7+hours in it, now without it its 3 at a
time...any ideas? I'm getting sleep
deprivation again :) |
|
20:55:27 |
hathor |
Well, my advice is that you |
|
20:56:03 |
hathor |
probably won't hve 7 hours of sleep
anymor efor abotu oh, I'd say 3 years!
:) |
|
20:56:10 |
Zoomommy |
eek |
|
20:56:28 |
milkymama |
? |
|
20:57:06 |
hathor |
Yeah, the swaddling b lanket probably h
elped, butbabies also sleep more when
they are little. |
|
20:57:20 |
Zoomommy |
He never slept much |
|
20:57:30 |
Zoomommy |
doesn't take naps well either |
|
20:57:40 |
hathor |
I know, it's frightening, but I promise
you'll live through it if you say to
yourself, this too shall pass |
|
20:58:08 |
Zoomommy |
That's my motto. |
|
20:58:48 |
hathor |
at 4 months he should be sleeping about
an hour at random intervals all day

The little man likes to fall asleep
nursing then pops awake the moment you
try to put him in his hammock |
|
20:59:46 |
hathor |
So, now that it's warm I'd jst lose the
swaddling blanket and see what
happens...get the boobie ready! |
|
20:59:46 |
Zoomommy |
He loves his sling, but wont fall asleep
in it- far too much to see up there :) |
|
21:00:22 |
Zoomommy |
No kiddin :) I'm getting sore again :)) |
|
21:00:55 |
hathor |
Yeah, just spend more time walking in
the sling, rythmic motion, the awake
alert phase in the sling is really
really important |
|
21:01:49 |
hathor |
he sounds like a man who knows what he
needs, congratulations! a 4 mo old, I'm
going to get weepy! |
|

like the sling |
|
21:02:56 |
milkymama |
what can I do?? |
|
21:03:10 |
hathor |
Hi Mamaofthree I love you too! and
thanks for all you do (you're my star
commenter)! |
|
21:03:15 |
milkymama |
I loved it with my now 3 year old, I
could do anything with her in the sling
nursing |
|
21:04:03 |
hathor |
Hmmmm... |
|
21:04:24 |
hathor |
Mayb ethe difference is that you've
slowed down, or |
|
21:04:40 |
hathor |
that it's not the right sling or
something? |
|
21:04:42 |
milkymama |
slowed down? |
|
21:05:10 |
hathor |
I mean not as active, because you have a
3 yearold hanging with you? I don't know |
|
21:05:25 |
milkymama |
LOL I have a 5 year old, 3 year old, and
the baby |
|
21:06:21 |
hathor |
Ah!what does he do to lety ou know he
doesn't like it? |
|
21:06:47 |
milkymama |
she is fine in it for about 5 minutes
then starts pulling away, trying to
roll" out" |
|
21:07:06 |
milkymama |
I have tried different positions,
tightness, etc. |
|
21:07:45 |
milkymama |
the sling is a home made one, that I did
with rings & a flat sheet |
|
21:07:56 |
hathor |
wow, I'm kind of stumped, but I would
just keep at it, change my mind about
it, tell myself that it's just a phase
or someithng. |
|
21:08:12 |
milkymama |
ok, thank you |
|
21:08:16 |
milkymama |
I love the ezine |
|
21:08:43 |
hathor |
for instance, the sling is os necessary
as you know, for you to get anything
done. so if you matter of factly just
carry on |
|
21:09:30 |
hathor |
Maybe laugh at the b aby and try to come
up with a funny movement that you do
when he tries to roll out... |
|
21:09:44 |
milkymama |
at almost 5 months, is there maybe a
better position for her? |
|
21:10:46 |
milkymama |
I MISS MY ARMS |

21:13:33 |
jdelugach |
It's my first time in here |
|
21:13:37 |
Webmama_Tina |
was that the last question? |
|
21:13:55 |
Webmama_Tina |
hey milkymama...both of my kiddos didn't
particularly care for the sling when
they were really little either |
|
21:14:08 |
Webmama_Tina |
both of them got used to it as they got
older and were able to hip carry |
|
21:14:15 |
milkymama |
so she isn't alone? yay |
|
21:14:26 |
Webmama_Tina |
and cuz i persisted and kept putting
them in it...they just got used to it
eventually |
|
21:14:52 |
Webmama_Tina |
naw mine really hated the cradle hold |
|
21:15:03 |
Webmama_Tina |
once i started wearing them upright they
were happy |
|
21:15:04 |
milkymama |
she actually seems to like laying on the
floor playing with a rattle or something |
|
21:15:14 |
hathor |
Hey! My computer crashed! |
|
21:15:17 |

|
21:15:51 |
hathor |
I was just gonna say dance more worry
less or something like that! |
|
21:16:15 |
hathor |
and the kangaroo hold was really helpful
to me my 2nd loved it! |
|
21:16:18 |
milkymama |
since she started rolling, she prefers
floor time |
|
21:16:59 |
hathor |
yep, the older they get the more they
like being where the action is,
expecially with the extra kids running
around! |
|
21:17:18 |
hathor |
Were there anymore questions, before I
go? |
|
21:17:24 |
milkymama |
YES, she tries to follow her brother |
|
21:17:37 |
Zoomommy |

|
21:17:59 |

Thanks for all the terrific comics and
work you do! |
|
21:18:28 |
hathor |
I'll stay for karma momma's question... |
|
21:18:54 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok |
|
21:18:58 |
jdelugach |
the last few comics have been awesome |
|
21:19:12 |
hathor |
thanks! it's a happy thing! |
|
21:19:16 |
karma_momma |
sorry, I'll make this quick. I have had
a few friends recently who gave birth
and were gung ho bout breastfeeding,
then after a couple weeks they quit. I
tried to be supportive and help them
with their problems, but they gave me
the line that it just can'W |
|
21:19:32 |
karma_momma |
thanks for staying another minute :) |
|
21:19:39 |
hathor |
what's up with that line!? I've heard it
so many times |
|
21:20:00 |
hathor |
it comes from believing deep down that
you don't work (in my opinion) |
|
21:20:04 |
karma_momma |
I know! They say I know it has worked
well for you(still nursing my 14 month
old) but it just isn't my thing |
|
21:20:57 |
karma_momma |
yea, it bums me out. Just wondered if
you had a way of dealing with that |
|
21:21:00 |
hathor |
and they get told in so many subtle ways
that it's okay to not be the *perfect*
breastfeeding mom" |
|
21:21:32 |
milkymama |
& in not so subtle ways that formula is
EASIER |
|
21:21:39 |
hathor |
plus! they are only thinking about the
short term. Today it's hard to
breastfeed, but in 6 months it will be
AWESOME! |
|
21:21:39 |
milkymama |
HAHAHAHA |
|
21:21:47 |
karma_momma |
yea, I can't tell u how many well
meaning" relatives bought me formula for
when it doesn't work out" |
|
21:22:01 |
karma_momma |
right! |
|
21:22:18 |
hathor |
We've just got to keep spreading the
news...I guess and |
|
21:22:35 |
hathor |
keep doing the best we can... |
|
21:22:56 |
hathor |
motherhood seems to make us find all new
friends |
|
21:23:03 |
milkymama |
thank you for the idea of the signs
where you NIP at. I printed some
business cards & leave them where I NIP |
|
21:23:15 |
karma_momma |
allright thanks! I love your comics and
forward them often. |
|
21:23:44 |
hathor |
Yay! Do you have a scanner? can you send
me a file or a photo or something? I'd
love to blog about it! |
|
21:24:02 |
milkymama |
I can |
|
21:24:05 |
hathor |
thanks karmamomma I wish I could be more
help, been there and it sucks! |
|
21:24:23 |
