It was luke warm, but I have sensitive teeth and luke warm food is a blessing. All you're eating is checkpeas and bread so anything artificial and loaded with sugar and sodium is just the sweetest peach going.

MAte it's not about me. She was upset, that's not for us to decide on. I was upset about that, I've made my point - I'm not slamming the entire thread which I've made abundantly clear. Some people let the negative comments get to them way more than the positives, I'm sure you can understand that.

When i saw him slagging off BBB and it's member I got a bit angry and lashed out, but then Michael explained himself and I got where he was coming from. This will be my last comment on the situation, I'm not a Michael fan, so there is not really any need to keep on posting about him if I don't like him, hopefully he sticks around so his real fans can ask him questions and then get answers back.
It's one of those things as a poster on here you constantly have to try and explain to people. Especially when watching a show of people where emotions go all over the place. Getting upset is an emotional response. You can't tell someone that it is wrong. You can't judge someones emotional response and deem it valid or not and then chose to accept or dismiss it.
Honestly I browsed one once when I was pregnant. A bunch of women were going off about elective c-sections...saying that the mothers that choose them aren't fit for parenthood because they're essentially trying to fit the birth of their child into their schedule (like booking an eyebrow wax LOL!). That put me right off given I was encouraged to choose one by my doc because I was having anxiety attacks about childbirth because a family member died during it.
Never looked at another one after that. Just made me feel shitty and I was already unsure of myself as I'd never expected to be having a baby in my early 20s. Anything I didn't know I asked my mum, nan, aunts, other mums, etc. They were successfully raising children well before people on the internet told them how to do it.
That's how I do it too, I look at the women around me and follow their lead and make my own from that. It's funny because if these women went overseas, they would be surprised at how many women do things differently and their child is fine too.

Farmers union is soooo bad!
I stopped drinking it and lost 10 kilos (not doing anything else different)
That last bit in brackets is kinda wrong. I know you're in the US but people who haven't watched Big Brother would have heard Michael on radio stations in Australia such as safm and fox fm.
So true. The way I look at it, kids overseas are being born into extreme poverty and war zones and yet they're okay. I reckon any child born to loving parents in Australia is gonna be okay even if their parents make a small mistake now and again (like not moving them onto solids at the exact age you're supposed to - boy, did my partner's mum get onto me about that one
)

The internet can be a horrible place.
I've only joined here this year and everyone seems nice . Of course people are going to have opinions about BB cast. That's the whole point. They put themselves in the spotlight for Australia to judge them. Good or bad.
However , Bringing families , kids etc into it isn't cool. And if people here (or anywhere online) bullied and said nasty stuff about my family I would be guttered.
I also think that if I was a HM I would not come anywhere near this site because there are people like me that do make mean comments sometimes. Tully might be a nice girl but she does my head in. I don't follow her on social media yet last night her tweet popped up on my damn TV.
But then people need to realise that if you cheat on your partner on national TV and make yourself look like a fool. You will be judged and spoken about

Agree. Michael is doing really well. He's still in the spotlight because that is his job. Not because he's screaming for attention
I got a blasting for starting my kids at three months on solids. Yep. You heard right. I started at three months! Do you know the lectures I got about how their muscles are not prepared for solids at that age and that it is pointless because a child at 6 months will pick it up better and that I am confusing the baby etc... My favourite was that it was lazy parenting... Hmm. My boys had pretty bad reflux so solids helped them keep the milk down and keep food in their body. My mother in law and grandmother recommended it and they were there to help and guide me. They were right. They said in their home countries that they did not have supply of milk like they do here in Australia so starting solids early was quite common.So true.

With todays social media & appearing on reality TV you have to expect that not only you but others associated with you with end up being targeted by trolls etc --- no matter what you do on a tv show, you are going to piss some people off & others will take another view...
It's part 'n parcel of being a reality TV contestant - the social media outfall for both you & friends/family etc - don't like it, don't go on TV..
Going onto any forum or social media site & arguing over who's right, wrong or whatever will never fix anything, just re-ignite points of view good, bad, nice & nasty .... I don't know what you're trying to achieve, I doubt you will succeed

Nobody has to like or care about or follow anyone. The thing is, if you had followed her since the show, you'd see that she's worked very hard on repairing her life and her image, and her friendship with Tahlia, and seems to be deeply sorry for the mistakes she's made. She also seems to accept a certain amount of negative reaction to her along with the good, because she did ask for the limelight by doing the show. Yet she continues to cop some genuinely shocking online abuse more than a year later, which says far more about the people who feel the need to do that than it does about her or anything she's done. Again, it's fine to dislike her or not particularly care what she does with her life, and most of us have said mean things about various HMs from time to time, but having a little compassion for other human beings never hurt anyone. It's astonishingly rare here these days, so that's the last I'll say for a bit, I think.

My oldest had shocking reflux and was put on solids at 3 months by her pedeatrician - the uproar!. But that was nothing compared to the horrific reactions of the smug ones when he, my baby-clinic sister, and the lovely, experienced ladies at Ngala (the WA equivalent of NSW Tresillian) firmly (and correctly) urged me to transfer her from a capsule, where she was lying down and in pain, to a reclined car seat with a special little neck support at 4 months.
Really?! Even though professionals recommended it to you? There are too many people who think they are know it all's. I tilted my baby bassinet to make my babies more comfortable during the reflux stages. But the car seat one sounds even better. Not that I'm an expert, but babies like to sleep curved IMO because that's what they've been doing in our tummies, sleeping all curved up, plus it would relieve the clenching of their stomach. I could only imagine how vulnerable some of these mothers left you. I was lucky that im surrounded by women who raised children with very little when they were mothers.
Oh boy! I'm apparently "guilty" of the same thing too. At about 3-4 months my daughter started watching us eat so I started to give her bits of our food and since she handled it fine and liked it I just kept doing it. My partner's mother went crazy at me (in the middle of a restaurant!) when she saw me doing it one day though. I just thought seriously?! It's not like I just chucked her a piece of steak and left her to her own devices...they were more bite dissolvable type foods anyway and she was supervised.
All kids are different and if you made the right call for yours (which it's obvious you did!) then who are people to judge?! That whole "lazy parenting" thing doesn't even make sense. I think it would be much more lazy to just leave them on baby foods and purees knowing that they were struggling with reflux instead of trying to find an alternative.
