The Comment Section

 The comment section gets me every time.  

I'll see a post on fb and I know the comment section is gonna piss me off, but I'll read it anyway.  It is such an Achilles heel for me I thought about creating a twitter account just to post the stupid comments people post.   If I'm honest I still want to do that.

I usually don't say anything.  Unless it's just TOO much.  Most of the time I'll just screenshot it and send it to little d and then we roast the beep out of the person.  

Just today I saw a comment of a relative--I use that term loosely as he is married to one of my cousins--about the formula shortage.  

Now let's start by saying I breastfed three children.  One for four months with little medical support and two breast infections and then another infection that required a medicine that was not bf friendly so I had to quit.  The second child refused to use ANY other nipple/pacifier and I was forced to bf exclusively for one year.  The third ate WAYYY more than I could keep up with I had to supplement and then stop at five months.  So when I say I have a personal opinion about this know.....that I do. 

Anyway back to the comment.  

The original post said "BABIES WITHOUT FOOD SHOULD BE A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, NOT A PROBLEM FOR PARENTS TO SOLVE"   Seems reasonable to me.  I mean babies without food=emergency.  So Dipshit comments the following....

"I'm still stuck on the fact that people have been a thing for a couple thousand years and commercially produced formula has only been around 50-60 years.  How'd we make it this far?  Wake up sheep, and pull your heads out your asses."

Well that's a lot to unpack.  I mean let's break it down.  People being 'a thing' for 2000 years.  Well we've been around longer but let's slide on past that.  In 13 seconds I found on google that commercially produced formula was invented in 1867 to solve infant mortality.  I mean he asked a reasonable question....how'd we make it this far?  I thought maybe he actually wanted an answer.

Here's my response:  "Formula has actually been around for over a hundred years.  It was invented to help combat infant mortality.  So I guess the answer to what did we do before that was.....die.  Or I guess hope you could find a wet nurse *shrug emoji*"

Snarky I know.  But he was being a dick.  And since both of his children were born addicted to controlled substances I thought he was being a little holier than thou.

He responded with this gem: "obviously the vast majority survived just fine without formula *shrug emoji*"

Yeah.  He's right.  Fuck those babies who can't survive.  

I didn't comment that.  But I really wanted to.  I mean reeeallly wanted to.  I mean like even now I want to go back and write that.  But I decided to let his stupidity speak for itself.  

Gosh this blogging thing is super therapeutic.  Maybe I don't need that twitter account???
