[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
And I should probably go back to ignoring the books.
Not a parent, but this seems to make sense. There's not much point to it, as far as I can tell, other than making moms feel inadequate. I mean, doctors and stuff would let one know if there are developmental issues, right?
I don't know what I'm talking about though.
If it weren't for peer pressure nobody would be potty trained.
Or sibling rivalry. I supposedly was walking at 9 months and potty trained around my first birthday because I wanted to keep up with my brother who is 15 months older than me.

I dunno. I think eventually, sitting around with a load of your own poop in your pants has got to get old.
Better'n sitting around in someone else's poop.
Sorry.
No, I'm not.
Now I'm wondering how much Annabel's development is affected by the fact she's almost never around other children--an hour or two in the nursery on Sunday, and occasional brief visits with our neighbor whose little girl is exactly 18 months older, and that's it.

I didn't spend much time with other kids until I started school, and I think my development was fine.
Though you may want to take me as a cautionary tale.

See?
For the record, I'm not worrying about it or thinking I have to find her a playgroup any time soon. I actually meant it to reassure myself--that maybe she'd have crawled faster if she'd had more examples of crawling around her, but that she's doing fine as is.
(I mean, I know I'm worry-prone, but my every statement isn't meant to be an expression of anxiety. Sheesh. I really meant that as a, "Huh, I guess kids might develop differently when not exposed to other kids," not, "Ohmigod I'm doing it wrong.")
but that she's doing fine as is.
This is my impression.
