re: For what reason would YOU call CPS?

Quoting SAFFY™:" But it's totally cool that women drink wine as part of a regular meal in Europe and their FAS rate is much smaller than the US's rate."

Prob because they only have a glass, still. I would never chance it. As soon as i found out i never even tasted the new things that were brought over to my place. I wouldnt want to risk it. like i said, each to their own. Everybody has different opinions on this subject.

Quoting SAFFY™:" Mitt Romney? Okay, okay...I couldn't help myself.  "

LOL! no but it was like right after that mess. The guy stopped at the same store we were going so I got his license plate numbers, called animal control which never answers the damn phone, and then called the cops. They actually said it wasn't illegal but it "could be" considered animal abuse.... They didn't do smurf. I was so furious. I posted a pic all over FB of it, even to the local sheriffs page, etc.

Quoting ♥Mama Constantine:" Someone threatened to call CPS on me because I didn't bathe my 3 month old every night.   I only would for abuse or neglect."

what?

it's bad to bathe infants daily / regularly. it screws w/ their delicate skin.

sheesh. morons!

Abuse or neglect.

If I witness abuse or neglect. But actual abuse and neglect. Like not spanking or leaving a baby in the car for 5 seconds to pay for gas [unless it was really hot and the windows were closed]. If I see someone lash out on a child or a little kid suffering from not being taken care of...that warrants a call to CPS.

Quoting Clarissa Larson:" sure, it's safe to drink while pregnant, just like it's safe to smoke while pregnant   IMO If you drink ... [snip!] ... BUT That is just MO because of experiences. Sorry if i offended anyone just my personal opinion. each to their own though. "

Everyday, all day is different than ONE cup.
And no, not ANY amount of alcohol will cause FAS. They don't know how much, but they lean towards binge drinking and alcoholics. Not one who has a cup of wine...also, the 5th week is when most major body parts/etc. are formed. It's best to avoid anything in THAT week.
Alcoholic is min. 2 cups per day NEEDED.

I had a midwife that actually recommended me drink wine to relax later in my pregnancy.
