FFFC 6-12-15

[chicorojo]

Ffalmostfc : I'm really really nosey, I have an app on my phone that shows me all the people that are in jails mugshots. It's awesome living in a small town. I'm like no wayyyyyy what did she do ?!

[nannygoat]

It took me a while to figure out what ffalmostfc was, chicorojo.

I should share mine now too or I'll forget. My feelings get hurt a lot. Sometimes I don't even know why I care so much. I'm a Sensitive Sally I guess.

Exactly!

[gdaniels77]

The reason I never attempted CD is because I'm just terrible about doing laundry. DH didn't even want me to get a cloth swim diaper because he said it wouldn't ever get washed until the next time we took LO to the water... Like once a month.

[karebear2]

I am also a Sensitive Sally.

My FFFC is I obsess over everything, even when I post something without thinking about it twice I worry you guys will flame me or not like me because I say/write stupid stuff all the time.
I am weird and awkward I know.

[karebear2]

I have another confession:

I give a lot of things to my brother and his wife all the time. They have a daughter that is 3 years younger than my DD1 and I have given them a ton of stuff for her. My brother has already mentioned wanting my Ergo because they have a baby on the way due Sept. I don't think I'll be done baby wearing yet, plus they are kind of ungrateful and just expect things now.

This gets me grumpy! My MIL offered to take us baby shopping while visiting but then didn't end up offering to actually pay. So while I'm paying cause there is no way I'm asking her to do so she says "We get those hand me downs!". "We" being my SIL, who is currently pregnant. One, you can't claim something I haven't used yet, two, the use of "we" is super inappropriate in my book! FFFC - I'll be purposefully leaving those items out of any hand me downs I give them. Poor SIL, she's not even aware she will be missing out.

woah that's crazy she would claim your stuff before you even left the store!

I am not offering hand me downs until we are sure we are done having kids. I have specifically purchased everything but clothes to be neutral for that purpose.

[jesster88]

My FFFC is that I am below pp weight and trying not to lose more. Not doing anything special, I guess this is just how my body responds to bf.

FLLLAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMEEE!!!

Jk. I'm also back to my prepreg weight from BFing. I'm still looking to lose about 10 lbs to be back at my "fit" weight, but I think that will actually require exercise. Ugh. Everything is back where it's supposed to be except for my belly and hips, which unfortunately means I am still getting a lot of people that assume I'm pregnant.

[ThePregosaurus]

Ugh, exercise. I really need to get back into a routine but I'm so not into it.

Also, I got drunk on wine last night. Oops.

[kboyet]

My FFFC is that I have grown to resent my mil since having a baby. Everything she says or does seems to bother me but I really think my feelings are warranted. Exhibit A: a couple months ago she asked if LO had a lazy eye after she saw his 3 mo pics. It really bothered me because I never noticed anything and now I'm on high alert. DH and I plan to ask the ped about it at his 6 mo appt. anyway, since then she's talked to DH separately about it and yesterday sent him an email with links in it saying "I'm not trying to overstep..." Then don't fucking say anything. This comes on the back end of me sending her LO 6mo sneak peek pics- is she critiquing him every time she sees a pic? (As you can tell I'm super pissed)

[amyface813]

I suck at fffc! Can that be mine? Also I often use my manual pump while I drive to and from work. My supply is low so I need to fit in another pump but I can't do it during my actual work day.

Eta: kboyet this is me too! Her worst is that she took him from me when we were playing outside on one of the most beautiful days and sat him in front of the TV because she was afraid of ticks! Also, I'm pissed because she bought him a 4th of July outfit.

I'm not liking what she's doing just being angry with her on your behalf. Also my pedi checks LOs eyes at every appointment and always tells me what he's checking for and that everything looks good. I'm sure yours would tell you if anything was off.

Also my mom does something similiar always brings stuff up for me to worry about. She's overly paranoid about things though and my mom so it's a little different.

[erien22846]

My coworker let me borrow all of her maternity clothes. She only had one child and knew she was going to have more but was still very generous in letting me borrow them. She is now pregnant and I have no intention of letting her borrow my maternity clothes. Every time she wears an outfit I wore, I feel a little guilty.

My MIL is a complete fuck tard! She's been visiting from the Caribbean and has now been living here since March with no end in effing sight! It's really has gotten out of control its like she's competing with me for DH attention and I'm having no part in it. Like I'm sorry you were a horrible mother and shipped ur son off to live with his grandmother because you couldn't care for him and now when he's fucking 30 you want to be mother of the year. She is a fake biatch! When DH is around she is all helpful. anytime he's not here she literally does fuck all and I need to wait on her hand and foot like are u kidding me u do fuck all all day long and you need to take naps in the day as well ? She really is making me sick. I'm so happy you brought up MILs because I'm about ready to cut a bitch I needed to get this out

My mil does things like this too ! And where is your mil getting the lazy eye thing from ? He doesn't look like he has a lazy eye in any of his pics ! I have a little lazy eye, and it's kinda noticeable in some pics, but your kid doesn't even have a hint of one from what I can tell. Weird !

[chicorojo]

Fffc: my stupidity. My gas burners on my stove weren't lighting so I put one on light and bent down to smell if I could smell gas, I took a big sniff and the whole thing lit up, now my nose hairs are singed, my eyebrows, and my hair.
It's too early to function.

I'm glad you're ok!

Gas stoves scare me - there's my not flameable confession. Actually it's quite flammable - har har.

Edit - to be even more corny.

But they are so much better to cook on ! Just don't get your face near them haha!

[nbateman5]

FFFC: I'm totally pro BLW but to please my mother I sat LO in the highchair and spoon fed her some babyfood carrots while she was over. I loved so much the feeling of feeding her and she actually was eating them instead of mashing slimy food all over. I bought a jar of sweet potatoes and asparagus/peas while we're at the beach and spoon fed her the asparagus/peas and she actually liked it. I will likely give her more BLW style food at home but I feel like I'm not standing my ground

[danisgossipgirl]

Yesterday after work we went to the beach. My h was in the water with the middle kid, older kid was playing in the sand, I was with the baby sitting and watching. It was nearly empty but there was an attractive guy with his son, who had found a horseshoe crab. My oldest went over to look at it and a few minutes later the guy/son walked by on their way out. The guy said hello to me and asked how I was, I responded but I was like damn do I know this guy?? He walked across the street to his beautiful million dollar beach front home on the point. Pangs of jealousy hit. But I finally realized who he was-- the hot pediatrician at our practice. We haven't had him for an appointment in a while and he was shirtless in swim trunks rather than in a button down with a stethoscope around his neck so that's why I didn't recognize him right away. My h and I have always loved him, he's so enthusiastic and supportive of our parenting unlike some of those crotchety old school pedis.

[jesster88]

danisgossipgirl I think one of your kids needs an appt soon

rshamos4eva I keep going back and forth about weaning too. The pumping at work is really getting to me. I made a deal with myself to push through until DS is 7 months (mid July) and reevaluate.

chicorojo Yikes! Glad you weren't burned!

nbateman5 You're introducing your baby to food in whatever way works best...therefore you are doing it right.

[kboyet]

chicorojo thank you! one of his eyes turns in more sometimes but I'm fairly certain that is normal? I never noticed it until she told me. My FIL apparently is blind in one eye because of it? In the email to my DH she said make sure to tell the dr is runs in the family. Freaking ugh. I was supposed to have lunch with her today but I canceled because I am so mad about it.
Eta: glad you are okay, nose hair is gross any way

Things with DH have been not awesome lately. I officially can't remember the last time we had sex and to be frank, I don't really care. He's a jerk to me a lot and I don't think he realizes it. I wish he was nicer and more thoughtful.

That's more of a dear diary so I guess my confession is I don't feel guilty being a bitch sometimes because he doesn't do anything to make me want to have a different attitude.

I've felt this way lately too. DH acts so clueless sometimes and I've become sort of flippant and bitchy. (It first said butchy lol)

[karebear2]

@kelsz12 and rshamos4eva this reminded me of a Melissa and Joey episode from yesterday a guy said: "the most fun I get in bed is when I pretend to sleep when the baby's crying" I swear they do things like this on purpose not to be counted on for help.

[abenson3]

My FFFC: I still let my 2.5 year old have a binky at night to sleep and don't see taking it anytime soon. The amount of joy that comes across her face when she finds it in with her bedtime stuff is priceless.

He's kind of a mix of Max Greenfield and Hugh Jackman.

@kelsz12 I'm sorry about YH. I'm having the same issues with MH. I asked him to watch the baby for a few minutes so I could sleep longer (MH was already awake playing on his phone in bed and DS didn't sleep AT ALL last night). He said okay and continued to play on his phone while the baby cried. I gave him two minutes and got up. Then he looked at me and effing said, "well what do you want me to do with him?"
Then he asked if he could shower with me. He is so smart, but why is he so dumb about this? Sorry for the Dear Diary

At this point I don't want my husband sharing my shower time even if he isn't a jerk. That is my alone and quiet time!! I feel so sorry for my husband though. He loves our little boy more than anything and Brady's face lights up when he sees his daddy. But Brady refuses to let him comfort him. He only lets me comfort him at night. It's frustrating for us both because I don't ever get a night "off" and my husband feels sad that Braden cries when he holds him but stops when I hold him. I've been telling him that he is the fun parent and I'm the comforting one I guess but I think he feels like the baby doesn't love him as much.

[bookworm87]

Oh. I guess I need a confession. Um. My husband and I still haven't had sex. I just have never had a lower sex drive in my entire life. I feel like my whole world revolves around sleep so every time the baby sleeps I'm thinking about going to bed too. I also feel uncomfortable messing around with the baby in the house. I don't know why. And at this point I've been forgetting to take my birth control so even if I suddenly was interested, I wouldn't be able to without risking getting pregnant again. And that I am not not not interested in. I need to just do it soon though. My husband has been a saint but I've been feeling really badly about it lately. I think he misses the intimacy more than the sex. We barely have time to just be with each other anymore and it's always like a surprise hour where the baby falls asleep early but you spend the whole hour anxious that he will wake up again. Sigh. Parenting is hard.
