I can picture CBB making a rule about people not addressing others by name in a few weeks if this crap keeps up. :/

Molly as I have said in a previous post, it is tragic what happened to your friend. I think everyone here understands its dangerous to drop a baby.

However, this was meant to be a humorous quote from a funny guy- nothing more, nothing less. When I said relax, I was meaning dont take the quote literally- I did not mean “relax” over child safety.

And maybe CBB staff will take the opportunity to address the issue to promote the safety and maybe get people thinking about it for a minute, how to keep infants safe (and safer)? That would be great, because people seem to forget things can happen to everyone until its too late

iluvallbabies yes you are missing something, you are missing the point. you especially talked to me after i spoke about the trauma suffered. you were the first one mentioning the name, and being insensitive thats why you were picked up. you do have the right to opinion but you cannot tell me my is worse then yours. i commented on the joke. i said i knew it was a joke but the theme itself was very serious. you advised me to relax, howeever that wont bring the baby back. i dont care about the joke, i was referring to the issue itself. every day there are hundreds of children around north america seriously hurt by dropping or similar accidents. so telling people to relax, especially after i shared with you our tragic story, was little too unsensitive. and ekaterina and lauren were so kind to understand this serious issue, and that is the point you were missing.

again, this is a very serious issue and shouldnt be joked about

Lauren I told people to relax over a quote that was a joke, and I get a response saying I am rude, insensitive and should think before posting. This was before any of my other posts.

What is your point? I must be missing something!!

“By the way Ekaterina calling me rude and insentive isn’t that nice either- maybe you should think before you type?!

And I really cant believe you would be offended with Matthews brothers quote because its “stereotyping”!! Seriously?!!

** Rolls Eyes** Because the baby would be really offended by that, and it would stick with them for life? LOL.”

Nope-nothing rude or insensitive about that post. If you want to speak that way to people, it’s your right to do so. It also means you have no place to cry foul when someone calls you out on it. Perhaps you should think about why you find Ekaterina’s posts so personally offensive. If you truly don’t believe you were being rude and insensitive, there’s no reason what she said should flip you out the way it has. And while several posters before you insisted the quote was a joke, you were the first to directly address Molly in a rude, insensitive way. So your argument in that regard holds no water.

As for the quote, I don’t find it funny or offensive. Then again, I don’t expect much from a guy named Rooster who names his son after a draft beer. More important people to listen to as far as I’m concerned.

I’m originally from Alabama and having seen Rooster recently on that new show about oil rigs? Black Gold, I think it is? He’s just a big, fun-loving guy who thinks he’s funny. Trust me: A lot of Southern/Western males are just like him.

I have made jokes about dropping infants and small children before. If I am aware that someone has suffered a tragedy with their child, obviously I would never make a comment like that around them. In this case, I understand Molly’s reaction… but I do think iluv is correct: It really is a joke; it’s obvious he wouldn’t intentionally drop a child, his or anyone else’s; and we can’t all walk around thinking constantly of others’ tragedies or nothing funny, mean or meaningful would get said.

And Miller Lyte is a totally awesome name. Miller McConaughey is cute and if anyone puts two and two together and figure out that he’s actually Miller *Lyte* McConaughey, where he’s from, it’ll be a great story.

Actually Molly, if you read back she actually was first to call me rude and insensitive. Im not picking a “fight”- Im expressing my opinion. Apparently that is what the site is for, and Im being very respectful in what Im saying.

She singled me out when a dozen posters above me said the same thing, and I dont take well to that. I actually stick up for myself- whther you call that picking a “fight” or not is your issue!

iluvbabies, you dont need to pick up fights with ekaterina, because she was kind to someone else. this is a site for comments about the articles, and whether you agree or not with me or her, there is no need to fight, instead, you can continue on commenting on precious babies who this site reports of

Ekaterina I was saying RELAX about the quote, NOT her tragic story.

Whether you find it amusing or not- it still remains a harmless joke. He is hardly going to walk around purposefully “dropping” his baby. I mean really!

And I think its very cute for Dads to see their little girls as “delicate”- Im not sure how you can turn that into a negative..? But hey, anything is possible here!!
