HA! Also, my older sister sucked her thumb until she was like 12, and my younger sister preferred her two middle fingers on her right hand. That went on until my daddy bribed her with a go-cart at 14!! So I think a Paci is MUCH more sanitary, and SHE IS ONLY 2 you motherbitches...GET OVER IT!! :D I've missed you girl!!

I don't see anything wrong with a 2 year old having a paci - WTF? That's like taking a child's blanky away at 2.<br /><br />I get comments on how I am still breastfeeding and L is almost 1. On how I give him a bottle sometimes just so I can have a break. I even got a comment once about giving L a taste of strawberry shake and how he isn't supposed to have dairy until he is 1 (which my pediatrician said to start him on at 11 months.)<br /><br />I'll bitch someone out if they choose to judge me in a public forum, but I usually blog about it instead haha!Meg from Megs A Mommy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00212836526994808453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635766407444068698.post-67094471993818137112010-04-15T09:00:22.145-05:002010-04-15T09:00:22.145-05:00Don't worry Sean is almost three and still has...Don't worry Sean is almost three and still has his!

My son is FOUR and still sucks his thumb- not all the time, just when he needs reassurance. He also has a lovey that he takes with him everywhere. I think it's sweet and a far better approach to life than Ansley's coping method... screaming bloody murder until I pick her up, then pulling at my hair.

I was a thumb sucker and as a result I wore braces for 8 years, have a speech problem and I swallow backwards ( I push forward on my teeth). If my mom would have put a paci in my mouth instead of my thumb I wouldn't have these problems. <br /><br />Every child is different and every parent has a different way of parenting.

The woman next to her made a comment and they were eventually thrown out of McDonalds because of their aruging.<br /><br />I might now agree with that but it certainly wasn't my place to say anything.
