FFFC 2/13 aka Friday the 13th

[Deleted]

I flipped out on my husband this morning when he was trying to hurry me out of the house. (I am flipping exhausted and was up most of the night last night with DS) I was wrong and said some things I shouldn't have but I probably will not apologize because I feel like he should cut me some slack...

And I feel like a jerk now.

My flame worthy week confessions:

We skipped the flu shot for DD this year.

She gets purées with Strawberries which are apparently a first year no no.

I kick my husband at night when he snores. Specifically about 7-8 times last night. He only woke up twice. Sorrynotsorry.

Can I confess that I had no idea that strawberries were a no no?

[anotherdreamer]

I didn't get DDs the flu shot either.

[mary1217]

I didn't get dd the flu shot.

And I know my co-worker has given her son strawberries and he is under one. Where does it say its a no no? The site I use says after 8 months its ok

Clicky here

It's one of the foods that's high on allergies, saw it originally here (although looks like they were changing their stance?), Pedi's office still says to wait. I wait because my sister and her kids are allergic to lots of things (Sis is to strawberries, her kids are to peanuts, eggs, milk, soy...) NM you posted the same link LOL. So maybe it's not a big deal anymore and things have changed

Confession: Sometimes I'm still paranoid from the whole catfish incident. I feel safer on this board so I post pictures but a few days later I go back and delete them. Logically I know if someone was going to copy them they had plenty of time but I still do it anyways.

I haven't put any people pics up because it makes me nervous. :/ probably being over paranoid, but it's hard not to be!

ETA: I want to AW DD pics so bad!

[anotherdreamer]

I only wear makeup maybe 5 times a year.

Also add me to the group who didn't know strawberries were a no. I think I saw a plum organics pouch with strawberries in it. Could be wrong.

I didnt know either, except that my DH said that with his older two they were told not to. I even bought strawberry puree. He is adamant that I dont give it to him, but I think its fine. Like PP said, i think the risk may be higher in families who have food allergies.

Just a thought- you could watermark your pics so that it couldnt be cropped out.

That's what I do with mine.

I have zero paranoia over posting pics. I was part of the Anthem hijack and am still "meh" about it. It would really suck if my information was used, but I don't have that much control over it and I'm not going to live my life in a state of fear and irrational "what ifs".

Also, I've never once had a flu shot. Ever.

[liziz]

I'm totally paranoid about posting any pictures of LO anywhere now. My fb account is locked down pretty well, and I share photos privately with my family, but that's about it.

You guys are great, but it only takes one weirdo....

[Lola]

FFFC I have no idea what the anthem hijack was?? Was it recent?

[ursula]

I'm my best friend's date to a wedding tonight and I am so incredibly excited for cocktail hour, I can't contain myself.

I just had an incredibly complicated sale at work and I feel like I threw a grenade and then hid under my desk.

When I was 16 I had head lice in my eyelashes.

[ursula]

Also, I'm a Friday the 13th bride. These few days a year are always super special to me.

I have a huge eyeball phobia. Could you see them???

[kam3100]

I have to look for the article but I think that foods that lo's might be allergic to see now recommended earlier to help prevent it. I think it was a recommendation by the AAP. I will try and find it.

I am SO jealous of you right now.

I HATE piglet from Winnie the Pooh.. suck it up and deal with life.

[sararl07]

piglet is a whiny wuss

[sararl07]

I ate breakfast but was starving 2 hours later...I tried to be good and eat a banana then string cheese and now I'm munching on chips and hummas. WTF why am I so hungry?!

[anotherdreamer]

I really don't care about Valentine's day, to me it's a non-holiday. However, I never say no to chocolate or a nice meal out where I don't have to cook.

We also don't normally do the meal on the actual holiday either, because neither if us likes crowds. We are planning on having lunch out today instead.

We are having a nice dinner in after dd goes to bed and plan on sitting in front of the fire.

Out of the last 6 nights Spencer has slept at home only twice. Each set of grandparents had him for 2 nights in a row.
Reading ursula's post about cocktail hour makes me thirsty. Obviously I'm not going to let the g.parents take him again so soon, but I could totally get hammered tonight!

not from my eye, when I got really close to the mirror I could see one crawling over my bottom lashes.

Being hung over and having to take care of a 6 month old sucks. I should just stop drinking all together.

Let's not be hasty!

[bigrock74]

Also, our house is so messy. We have been on the go the last 3 days and the dinner dishes from 2 nights ago are still in the sink, yet here I sit on the couch wasting time on my computer. I wish we had a maid!

Yes, it was/is a huge to-do over their entire network being "infiltrated" by computer hijacking.  Everyone's information and anyone they had covered under their insurance had their information breached. Social security numbers, addresses, DOB, etc.  They can lie and wait for years to come with your personal info and BAM, you're fucked! I just pray that me and my kids info is overlooked and never used. 

[honeybee434]

My nephew was born the very beginning of April and my BIL and SIL decided to red shirt him. I get that its their kid so I shouldn't care about their choices, but it's getting awkward as he gets older. She's trying to get his 7th birthday planned and it doesn't seem right to say he's going to be 7 and in Kindergarten. Their only reason for holding him back was that he was small for his age then and they didn't want him to be the youngest in his class. He's also pretty bored as he's a smart kid. Makes me worry that he's going to end up having problems with this later as he gets older. If there were learning or social reasons for it I would understand.....but I don't get holding him back with an April birthday for the reasons they chose. Summer or late summer I I could see, but not first of April.

ETA: their 2nd child has a first of August birthday and is in pre-k right now. So only a year apart in school. They now don't know what to do with him and will probably have him repeat so they won't be one year apart in school even though they are 28 months apart. He is fairly immature for his age, so holding him back makes more sense to me.
