I have a real one, I stored it in my notes.

When I was like 13 I was in my jacuzzi with my current bff and another friend. I totally pooped in there. It was 1 little pebble and it floated to the top. We all freaked and got out. When the friend left my BFF was like, "I can't believe she pooped in there" and I totally agreed. We used to make little movies and we made a music video and part of the song was about her pooping in my jacuzzi. I never came clean, and she totally brought it up a couple months ago.

How did it get out of your swimsuit?

My other FFFC is that IDGAF that it's only 15 degrees outside. I am bundling up DD and going for a walk. I NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE.

I envy you're dedication to getting out of the house. It's too dang cold for me. I am a hermit

I wish more people had poop Confessions. I sound like a sicko compared to you guys... Well maybe not compared to applegrape (wait it was applegrape who had the trash can poop right?)

Not poop but I peed on a red solo cup once because I couldn't make it to the communal bathroom in my college dorm. I then took it out into the hall and threw it, pee and all, into a garbage can. I'm such an ass.

Can't.keep.up. Re being a working mom, for me, I'm a better mom because of it. My kids get my full attention (mostly) when we are together and I couldn't do that if it was all day long.

I agree with you 100%. I love being with my baby and he gets my undivided attention for at least a couple hours every night and all of most weekends.  We do tummy time, take a bath, read books, play with toys, etc.  But working...it keeps me sane.

And I'm like spurp13, I don't want to be with anyone 24 hrs. a day.

alfibet's jacuzzi confession might be my favorite FFFC yet. Hot Tub Poop Machine.

I Dono, it was just a pebble, not like a log. Haha. It just, popped out... Same way it popped out of mah butt.

swise22 start rotating your stash before it gets too old.

I don't get having a huge freezer stash unless you EP. What's the point? If you don't keep pumping at work, you won't have the supply to nurse baby on weekends -- and for me, it's the nursing that makes the pita of pumping worth it. So it's not like I could stop pumping at work at 8 months or something.

I don't know how much I have but its just a cushion, and that's all it needs to be. Maybe 50-100oz? I'd only worry about more if I were going out of town for days.

I'm going to be gone for two days and nights in March and I only have about a day in the freezer...that is why I want a stash.  But I don't have enough time to build it up to the level I want (4-5 days) so I'm just hoping to get it to 2 days before I go.

mrsbabe614 I'm sorry I should've read through before I posted. My bad. Are you ok? I didn't mean to rub salt in a wound.

FFFC... I used to be someone who judged FF moms. Why wouldn't you just give your baby breast milk... it's Right There!

Since having M and talking with all of you I realize how much work BFing is and how it legitimately does not work for everyone. I feel so ashamed of my pre-baby self for judging something I knew nothing about.

I've made a poop confession before but here's another one for you. I once pooped at a friends house and cogged the toilet. I was maybe 6. I tried to flush a second time and it overflowed, resulting in the poop getting on the floor. I was too embarrassed to ask for help so I tried to clean it up by myself...using my friend's mom's good bath towels.

After I'd been in there awhile his mom came to check on me and walked into the bathroom to find me on the floor wiping up the poop. But really I was just smearing it everywhere and making it worse.

I was never allowed inside that friends house again.

Frozen BM is good up to a year I thought?

In  a deep freeze, 6 months-1 year.

Mine went bad after 4-5 months in a regular freezer (though sources say its good for 6 months).

[alfibet]

staryb I wish I could have that laughing emoticon from tb! I've overflowed my toilet at my moms so many times. By age like 9 I learned how to turn the water off if it started rising.

I hope one day not to have this problem anymore. But I've even had a colonoscopy done and the dr just said sorry, it's the shape of your colon. So even when I go twice a week (that's a lot for me) they're in the shape of big balls and very painful. I used to go over a month without going, since having a baby it's much more frequent.. /sob story about my poo

We've got ours in a chest freezer so I'm hoping that's a "deep" freeze. :/

I have between 500 and 1000 ounces stored up of milk in my freezer and I have yet to touch a bag. It's like an obsession to see how much milk I can store yet I'm scared to touch my stash.

Also yesterday at the doctor I was getting my breast exam done and it was when I normally pump. He pushed on my boob and milk came out. It was traumatizing.

This I file under "Things I am SO glad have never happened to me"

kaylajade I second/third what other pp have said. Taking care of yourself is not a failure in any way! I know you feel that way because you're in it! Just know we are here if you need to talk.

mrssinner402 and crawford411 LOL at Super Boobs! Do we need a new badge??

I've been playing the same damn level of candy crush soda saga for a couple days now and it's pissing me off. I can't get the last 2 bears ever.

What level?  I had to delete that game off my phone yesterday after only having it for a week or two.  My addiction was bad.  Playing instead of sleeping.  Playing at work.  Playing at a stop light.  Wanting to play while I was with LO.  It was crazy!  

Hope you beat your level soon!  It's maddening!

It kind of irritates the shit out of me that we have gotten to the point where we post "unicorn warning" or warnings about other things (besides sad/loss things). We are all grown lady's and have our different struggles and triumphs. Do we all have unicorns? No. Do we all have struggles? Yes. Even the unicorn babies can't always be unicorns. I just wish that positive things didnt ruffle feathers so much.

[gretchenweiners7]

Also, on point with the poop confessions today guise.

Uhm, maybe because it wasn't RIGHT THERE?!! I met with multiple LCs, used a hospital grade pump for weeks, and saw MAYBE 6 drops. Even the LCs told me it wasn't going to happen.

So yeah, it's not always about the work. Sometimes it's biology.

[dorothyzbornak97]

I don't have any poop confessions, but I do have a pee one.

I met some friends for drinks after work one day a few years ago. I had a few beers and didn't go to the bathroom at the bar because it was crowded and I didn't feel like waiting in line. When I got home after, I really had to pee. I scurried from the car to my house as fast as I could, and as I was fumbling for my house key, I realized I would not make it to the bathroom. So, I dropped everything and ran around to the backyard and peed in the yard. I had on a skirt, but I peed through my underwear. I just pray that my neighbors didn't look out the window to see that.

ahhhh so much this!

We shouldn't need to post a disclaimer before we share something good or bad with this group. I can understand when it revolves around loss of a child or something of that nature, but FFS, you shouldn't have to be like ***WARNING****My kid slept 7 hours.

If you can't handle hearing about a baby STTN, you have bigger issues going on.

I would creepy Internet hug you because maybe you need it but I might get digitally smacked so... I hope you're ok. Don't ever feel guilty about feeding and caring for your child.

Just to be clear, the "right there" comment was my pre-baby ignorance. I just assumed that all boobs just did what was needed when it was needed of them. I now know that is obviously not how it works.

[americanninjamommy]

I don't have any interesting poop/pee confessions of my own, but my BIL's girlfriend broke her ankle while peeing. Long story short - she was driving home after being out drinking and when she got home, she had to pee super bad. So she got out her car and ran into the woods to pee ... and tripped and broke her ankle. And no, I don't know why she didn't just go into the house. Perhaps because drunk?

My FFFC: I am sitting in a conference room by myself catching up on PB. My next meeting isn't for another 20 minutes.

nicb13 thank you!! Maybe I should try that to help with my constipation...


I guess another fffc is I often times have to put my poo in the trash. It would never fit in that tiny toilet hole. My h has no idea. One time when he still lived at his parents house he left to pick up ss and I was there alone, so I pooped, bagged it, and put it in the neighbors trash can LOL. I'm so fucking gross.

OMG you're cracking me up today.

Tbh I always thought I'd FF but then I found out everyone in my family is allergic to something in the formulas, plus I had some friends who BF to talk to and it changed my mind.

[darwinfish]

I was staying at my bosses house on Aspen with DH, and the day we arrived he had to take a massive dump that clogged and over flowed a toilet. He found a plunger and took care of it himself, but they have cameras all over the house, so we have no idea if they were in CT watching him walk around their ski house with a plunger.

Even after you take it out of the fridge it is good?? i though there was a one hour rule there? After 4 months of doing this you think I would have this down, but no.

Only for formula. You can even reuse bm after baby drank out of the bottle (though I limit it to the next feeding).

Dammit!! I have been throwing away the milk Big sad face!!
