This weekend we only need to knock out two first-round matchups. Read the description of each problem in the pair, then vote for the one you think sucks more than the other. MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE ONLY FOR EFFECT, and you should vote on how bad YOU feel each problem is, not based on my description of it. Voting runs Friday midnight to Sunday midnight, EDT.
Today's matchups:
13. Nasty look from server while nursing in restaurant vs. 4-month sleep regression
14. Nursing strike vs. Asked to bring 15 dozen homemade cookies to preschool fundraiser
Nasty look from server while nursing in restaurant
You're in a restaurant with your baby and a friend. Your baby is hungry, so you nurse them, in that not-particularly-concerned-with-anyone-else-but-not-showing-anything-extra-on-purpose way you have, and continue the conversation with your friend. Then the server walks up to your booth and stares at your chest area, glaring, then turns and huffs away.
vs.
4-month sleep regression
So let's get this straight: The baby sleeps in two hour stretches for the first six weeks, then three-hours stretches, then by 12 weeks is sleeping for four blissful hours at a time, and then suddenly at 4 months goes back to waking up every two hours again?? Right when you've been back at work for a couple of weeks? What? How? What?
VOTE
Nursing strike
Your baby, who has been nursing for several months, suddenly refuses to nurse. Nothing you do can coax the baby back on. The baby also refuses pumped milk in a bottle or formula, and can't survive on cheerios and mashed peas. It's been two days. You're huge and in pain, and have never heard of a baby just stopping eating.
vs.
Asked to bring 15 dozen homemade cookies to preschool fundraiser
Yes, that is what the email from the head of the PTO says: "15 dozen homemade cookies." Homemade. 15 dozen. 180 cookies. Homemade. In your copious spare time.
VOTE
On Monday (Sunday night at midnight EDT) we'll be voting on six match-ups again.
It's pretty lucky to find your webblog!Just one suggestion: It will be better and easier to follow if your blog can offer rrs subscription service.

Moxie, I too use the phrase "in your copious spare time." Did I get it from you? I thought it was my own. Is it a Mawr thing? :-)

I said nursing strike because I can say no to the PTO. I will do what I can when I can, but that many cookies while doing all the other things I do? NO.

I'm a pro at making store bought look homemade. I still suck at suffering through nursing strikes.

I'm in the middle of a nursing strike right now. I mean the end of one, right? Because it can't possibly go more than a week, right?

Only wish to thank you for another great post. Can you tell me where can I find any more info on this topic? I think that's the proper approach to this problem.
