Free Masons

Cgirl · May 3, 2006, 12:07 PM

Hey, there is a town nearby my city that has a ton of houses with those free mason signs in front of their house/ I have googled it and I understand it is a secret society, but what for? What is it that they do? Secret Society's creep me out personally. Does anyone know anything about this society?

LOLL I haven't tried that yet, but yes it would be awesome and would allow me a break now and then. I'm a bit paranoid about having him on a bottle though, because he took some time to latch on, and my friend with 2 kids said they sometimes reject the breast afterwards. But it's a good idea to try, because I'm pretty tired from having to wake up every 2-3 hours or so to feed him.

Yea nipple confusion can be an issue. With our kids the breastfeeding part didn't go well so we resorted to formula after a month. I need much less sleep than my wife so I was able to have a little extra bonding time night and the wife slept - win/win.

Good for you Orange for breastfeeding by the way, I breastfed my son until he was 11 months, but some good advice to you too would be to start giving them a bottle soon as well, otherwise you will never get out of the house! I waited too long to start doing this and he REFUSED to take a bottle, and it was absolutely murder trying to wean him. Just some words of the wise. Best wishes, breast milk is the best thing for babies! (I wanted to put this as a comment on your post but the dang system wouldn't let me

)

=) a little off topic, eh? but since it was brought up...

our son breastfed for the first year and a few months. for the first, oh i dont know...maybe 2.5 months we did no bottle, as momma stayed home from work. then when momma worked she was able to come home sometimes and sometimes not, so we used a bottle w breastmilk. but there was no problem going back and forth.

and at the end, about a year and 2-3 months it was kind of his idea to stop... he just accepted the bottle and didnt fuss much about wanting momma.

Thanks for the advice on breastfeeding, everyone... in the thread on Masons no less!! LOL!!!! Maybe I should try the bottle soon... in a couple of weeks or so. I understand what you mean about being stuck at home Cgirl... that's what's happened to my one friend. She's never spent more than an hour away from her kids since they were born, and her oldest is almost 4 now!!! As much as I love my baby, I don't think I could handle that.

A happy mommy = happy baby.

yes, this thread sure took a turn didn't it? Yea, I would maybe wait a couple of weeks and then try the bottle, this way you can do both, and then your husband can get involved in the feedings sometimes too, this would probably make him feel good.

Orange, I am not sure if every one else was tlaking about formula in a bottle but you can try to pump then give the baby some. It'll be the best of both worlds. My wife pumped, wasn't easy but she did it. My first son was ok with the bottle but we did it more often. My second son would not eat out of a bottle right from the beginning until he had to. We went away for 3 days and by the next day he must have realized this was his only chance to eat. I thought it would take him awhile to wean off the breast but we put him on formula at about 11 months and he did great and weaned himself off. It all depends on the individual.

So how about the free masons?

I think that the whole idea of Free Mason's being evil, and connected to the satanic church is an urban legend. It sounds like they are a lot like any other organization, like the Kiwanas Club or the Shriners. I think some people who make these accusations need to look more into it, like I am doing. I have learned not to believe everything you hear, and to look into something more thoroughly before I judge someone/something. If everyone was like this, a lot of conflicts would be stopped before they ever even started.
