Apparently it is more of an UO that both DD1 and LO get baths every day. Not shampoo every day but in the water every day (unless something crazy happens/we are out late)
It's something that kills time. With LO it helps waste those last 20 minutes before DH gets home.
I snack in bed sometimes. I understand from Parenting FFFC this is disgusting and I deserve to be flamed mercilessly for it. I should know better, but I can't help it.
What is wrong with snacking in bed?! I eat and drink in bed routinely. In college it's basically the only place I ate.
Apparently all the crumbs in the sheets lol. I swear I'm an adult otherwise!
I don't understand food subscriptions like blue apron. I can feed my whole family for a week on what 2 meals cost through that service.
Hello fresh has been awesome for me throughout pregnancy, maternity leave, and especially now that I'm back to work! For what you get it's honestly not that much more expensive than buying the ingredients. Especially when you factor in the time I would have to take meal planning and grocery shopping. So worth it!
That reminds me, I have a couple free boxes to send if anyone's interested in trying it for one week free! Pm me (I will need your email address though, promise not to skin suit you 😛)

Suuureee 😉
I would like to try it but last time I checked they don't deliver to my area!
I had a coupon for Blue Apron and we got the order yesterday. The freezer packaging they put in the box was all over most of the ingredients though. I cleaned it well but I think I'm going to toss the food out that isn't in packaging because it says not for human consumption and I'm paranoid. Im hoping their customer service will credit my account or send a free box because it was disappointing.
I know with hello fresh a couple times one of the meat packages leaked and they gave us a credit for a free box when this happened.

I suppose it depends on where you live, but around here it is way more expensive than buying from the store. My SILS both use it in LCOL areas and it seems crazy!

Um, nope, nope, nope.
I'm in the definitely no food in bed camp. Actually no food in bedrooms full stop.

Crumbs!
I more so worry about the bugs those crumbs might attract. I clean the bedrooms less frequently than the main floor so crumbs would sit in a bedroom longer.
Eating in bed would also involve bringing food upstairs and I'm too lazy for that.

I guess I haven't changed my ways because we miraculously haven't had a bug issue. But if I ever saw anything in our apartment the food situation would be on lock down.
Well I am jealous of you! I am currently weaning and having a very hard time coming to terms with being done nursing forever. If my boobs did what they were supposed to do, I wouldn't have to quit.
Edit: To clarify: I'm jealous that you have powered through despite all the stress from your son's diagnosis, having a preschooler, working, and pumping. I just don't have the strength (or time) to keep going.

I purposely try and hold L for some naps. I want to be able to not worry about naps when we go out to eat or to friends houses. My social life comes before her ability to nap in her crib...

I hadn't thought of LOs ability to nap out and about as a bonus outcome of him only sleeping on me. Maybe it's not so bad after all.

I feel like I worked so hard to get my 2 year old to nap in his crib that then I was a slave to nap time! If we were out and about and he was tired, he was a total nightmare! With her, I can just rock and hold her!

Confession: I have so many clothes my kids have never worn. I hate all the clothes with sayings on it or the super princessy girl stuff. Most of it comes from MIL. I just put it in the drawer so she sees it if she comes over and then donate it once the kids are out of that size.

Confession: sometimes if H works from home in the evening or weekend, I let the kids whine a bit extra so he thinks I'm having a rough time dealing with both kids. It usually earns me a bit of free time later.

UO: I hate headbands on baby girls. If they have enough hair, I think a bow clipped in or something is cute. A bald baby with a big headband on though makes me a bit annoyed.

OMG I love baby headbands. If I had a girl she would be wearing all the headbands!

I don't like the big flowers. I like the June & January ones (DD1 had a few when it was still Little Hip Squeaks) but they're a pain in the butt and DD1 won't let me put anything in her hair so I don't even bother with either of them even though I have a bunch of headbands.

I just washed a pack of clothes that I got and couldn't figure out where to return. It had two onesies, pants and a bib. The two onesies went straight into the tote I started for clothes she has outgrown. The one onesie said "Born with a Tiara"
Big fat newp to her ever wearing that one! At least she can wear the pink pants.
Nope!
I don't buy anything with words. I usually take a picture of the girls with shirts from my sister that say "aunt" whatever on them just so I can show her but usually they wear pretty simple clothes.
I love getting rid of clothes as soon as LO grows out of them.

No, no, no. L has never worn a headband. She will wear more hair accessories once she actually has hair to accessorize. Otherwise, I feel like my eye just goes right to the headband and I just hate the look.
I think headbands on girls are cute, but I hate when people put them on every single day. My SIL did it to my niece and it drove me crazy! I swear my niece started to get a divot in her head.

I don't like the huge, obnoxious headbands that are almost as big as the baby's head. I do like the small ones and put them on A occasionally. She doesn't have much hair so it's going to be a long time before I can put clips or bows in it!

FFC: I try to keep to myself how much I love FFing and how much I actually regret BFing my daughter because it made the first several months such a misery. It feels like I'm trying to sell drugs to children or something.
Yessss. I also kind of regret spending so much time and energy trying to keep going while I was on maternity leave. I definitely feel like I could have enjoyed my time off with him more if I wasn't so stressed and spending so much time hooked to my damn pump.
I can't imagine if I was still trying to breastfeed. It has been so stressful transitioning to being back to work and there's no way I could have continued. It would have put me over the edge. I also had a really hard time with supply (PCOS) so maybe it would have been different if I had an easier time.
More power to all you mamas who are still at it though! It's hard work!

This is so me! I really resented my son in the early weeks because of it. I quit super early this time because it's just not worth it to me.
heartbot I feel like FF is the more common approved choice here on TCF and normally feel like I shouldn't say that I find BF incredibly easy/ no big deal/ nice.
But I think a lot of this stuff is in our own heads and most people really don't care. I know I don't.
Same. I want to be able to say that I absolutely love breastfeeding and aside from the beginning when DS and I were first learning, it's been really easy, convenient, and I love all of the benefits. But then I worry people's feelings will be hurt or they will sarcastically be like "wow good for you." I mean, it has already happened here. So I feel like I shouldn't say anything.
