MP--Me? Lazy? Just unskilled from 1960-1962. I got my first tricycle in 1964. I remember riding it right off the edge of the sidewalk and toppling over. This didn't bode well for my triathlon career.

Just kidding - in that I don't think many of us use our feet much the first 2 years! (I was in remedial PE in elementary school, so I can relate to the rest of it as well.)

I was in remedial PE, too (in HS) because I "flunked" the physical fitness test. The test included such important skills such as a basketball shoot. So, I enrolled in the "flab lab," as we called it (though I weighed like 95 lbs) and in that class we ran, did sit ups and other core stuff. After 6 weeks, I outran all of the other girls who had failed the skills test, so I went back in regular PE.
I still can't get a basketball in a hoop or most of the other things that were on that test.

Lise - glad you're on the mend. My foot started to throb in symapthy for your foot, lol. I even had to take my socks off to look at my feet to compare. My right foot is the painful one but looks nothing like yours.

CC - I agree with Lise on the bfing. Boy did I struggle with my son and no one seemed to give a rip. I had to go looking for help and even then we didn't do it for more than a couple months. I was very disappointed.

Gotta go, my 9:00 client is here!

Well, I was on the other end of the spectrum. I chose to bottle feed (yes I am selfish; I wanted my DH to be able to get up in the middle of the night and do the feeding so I could sleep and not get sick) and got a lot of unsolicited comments from people. Not gonna start an argument about this, since it was over 20 years ago and my boys are normal healthy adults...

I was bottle fed. I think I'm fairly normal.

I don't think anyone should be questioning whatever the mother decides.

I have a friend who wanted to breast feed. She tried and tried, but couldn't. (yes, she tried everything. There were medical reasons). She experienced a number of really rude comments. It's a personal choice, and sometimes we don't know the whole story.
