Every baby is different so you have to do what you think might work best - either it be cold turkey or having them decide they dont like it anymore.

Clearly you are one of those no-boundaries mothers.

and clearly you are an internet fruitcake troll!

LOL, just in time for the holidays! A merry fruitcake troll.

It's funny. This is how you handle a debate and PP agree with this, but then you chastise us for judging. Is this how you teach your kids to have a discussion and handle themselves. Probaby.

Clearly our parents were also not boundary-setters. You can tell by our bad behavior and foul language.

You know what's interesting? All the parents that seem to be calling out the Naci paci's, me being one of them, are the ones doing all the name calling and cursing. I never name called, just illustrated a point. You seem to be the judgemental ones.

Thank you for apologizing - now lets all go out for a drink

Well, I kept my paci until I was 17. I was so ashamed. My mother tried everything: cutting off the tips, putting nasty tasting gunk, hiding it on high shelves, etc. She tried her best to set boundaries with me, but they just didn't work. I held strong and just wouldn't let go of that paci! It was obviously all her fault.

Luckily for me, I met an amazing man who still sleeps with his baby blanket. We now live happily ever after, holding each other as we fall to sleep caressing our loveys.

What can I say...I had my paci until I was a teenager so I was doomed from the start.

PP, seriously. 17? That is awesome.

PP here. I still have my blankie. And it is very important to me. And if that makes me F'd up....that is okay.

I agree. I think they are one person, perhaps two. One of them has English as a second language (at least, GOD, I hope so) and the other is a bit more masculine in tone.

I wish the moderators could figure out who they are and somehow ban them. Or, alternatively, post their photo next to their posts. Heehee.

Ironic that you accuse those who think five year olds don't need pacifiers of being Nazis while it is you who wants to ban anyone who disagrees with you.

You think you have to curse or name call to be judgmental? Your posts are chalk-full of judge, even though you used nice (albeit, massively misspelled) language.

When you were a child, did you like to poke dogs with a stick? And then when they finally bit you, ran off crying to your mom about the mean old dogs?

NOPE, not irionic one bit. I think you can think whatever you want. You can certainly post whatever you want. Its how you convey your information that offends me. Its called TROLLING. It involves anonymous judging and riling up of people by being boorish, insensitive, cruel and judgmental. Would you call out people TO THEIR FACE in the way you did on this blog? Would you want that done to you? If not, you are being a troll.

I don't disagree with your opinion, I disagree with your harsh tone and rudeness. You can think what you want, but still be respectful and not act as if you own the truth and the rest of us are just waiting for you to lay it on us, cupcake sweetcheeks.

I'm not the PP who said you should be banned, but I think it was your somewhat, um, rigid proclamations about parents of paci-users being lazy, weak, non-boundary setting parents that has everybody's knickers in a twist. Just my guess.

Whoa, whoa whoa. I am the mom with ALMOST five year old who had the paci. We have lots of boundaries, so many in fact, I am the parent is the house who has to learn how to say yes. DD ended up keeping it so long b/c 1) when we were really ready, I was having another baby and didn't want to take away lovey 2) I was lazy in this respect and 3) I believe it is really OKAY to have loveys as long as they are hurting anyone. If it were a blankie, I never would have taken it away! Life is hard for kids, it is okay they are attached to something. I am a really good mom and for people to insinuate I do not have boundaries or that I am raising bad kids without manners and all the other nonsense is just SILLY. I just wanted to offer the OP some insight, but you have to make it about laying down the law and whatnot. Binkies? Boundary lady, you owe me an apology for your tone and accusations.

dcum duel! boundary lady vs. paci at almost 5.

paci lady, I got your back...
