Baby-poll poll Throwing a baby up in the air while playing is.....
(Baby poll by EvaV, 1143 days ago)
Heinous and gives me heart palpitations.
Fun, safe, baby loves it!
I will share horror story to back up your opinion that it is particularly heinous and support you going off on your father in law if he does it one more time!

Growing up my friends mom threw up her younger child higher then what she meant to and she went into the fan. It left a mark on her.

okay if you don`t really let them go!

I toss my guy in the air a couple inches up from my hands. He laughs and laughs over it. I`ve tried just raising him up and down really fast, but he doesn`t think it`s nearly as fun as being tossed up. I don`t know why someone would end up dropping a baby. I mean, if he did some flip in the air or something I might trip, fall, break my arm, leg, or neck, but I WOULD CATCH HIM at any and all cost to my own well-being!

I do it to my 10 mo old sister but I never let her go or loosen my grip so it`s more like raising rather than throwing. She loves it.

I don`t violently throw my daughter in the air or anything (no shaken baby syndrome here!) but hubby and I will occassionally toss her up a few times. She loves it, and isn`t far from our hands. I don`t see what the big deal is???

I would never do it, but my SO did with our daugher. She loved it but I know all too well about the heart palpitations!!

I chose `fun, safe, baby loves it`, but I do see where people would have chose the other option too. I never did it with my son, but my husband did & can deff. relate to it making someone nervous!

I used to babysit two kids and the father threw the little girl in the air but not completely out of his hands and anyways something happened his hands slipped and he dropped her. She fell half onto the couch and then to the floor and broke her leg. If the couch hadn`t broken her fall who knows what would have happened! My bub will be staying firmly in my arms!

i will kinda do it. I will toss them in the air but my hands are never completely off of them. It would make me way to nervous to do it without touching them. They do love it!

I think it depends how high. My husband does it and my baby who is 16 months LOVES it...but it`s not that high up in the air. If YOU don`t feel comforable by all means tell him to stop.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
