I only have one kid and I'm scared to take her out alone sometimes, lol! heatherbee if I had 2 little ones, I would be nervous too but I'm sure you'll be fine
Ok, I guess I have an FC to share..... it's been bugging me but I've only said something to my H.
So my H is 10 years younger than me, it really hasn't been an issue since we first started dating and I felt totally weird about it. It was my issue though and I got over it. (he was 21 and I was 31).
But this last week 3 things have happened that got me a bit ruffled. One in particular. He cut his hair real short and shaved so it made him look much younger than he is (26).
first thing: this girl who was probably the same age as him referred to him as a kid. I thought that was funny at the time but he did not. lol
2nd: we were at Target one night and the cashier was talking to him and called him "kiddo". He did not think that was funny either.
3rd: at our vets office a couple days ago with one of our tortoises. I was talking to the receptionist and I said something about Steve and the tortoise and she said "oh don't worry Mom, it's all ok". So I told him later and that she obviously thinks he is my SON. my SON. He thought that was funny, I did NOT. Seriously? I've been all butt hurt about it ever since, but now he says she probably was refering to the tortoise when she called me mom. I'm not so sure. So there is my long FC.
I've noticed lately when people are talking to Anna about Ethan, they keep referring to him as Bubba. I cannot stand boys being called Bubba or Junior or any of that. Right now, she calls him Ethan but if people don't quit, I wouldn't be surprised if she starts calling him Bubba. This is a lame confession but it drives me nuts.
I saw a itty bitty squishy at V's band concert last night and I want another one!! Sometimes I wish my H wasn't as old as he is and more willing to have more kids.

Haha... I'm the opposite. Amelia calls Asher "Bubba" & I love it. At first she couldn't say his name, and when she tried to say brother that's what came out. It has totally stuck. I think it's sweet.
J fell asleep when we got home last night (6:15pm) and slept all night until this morning. I noticed she was warm last night when I checked on her but didn't want to wake her... this morning she had a temp, (can't find our ear thermometer so had to use IL's regular digital which she hated) but under-arm temp was 100.7 at 6:15am.
I gave her Motrin, confirmed with FIL he was ok to stay home with her - and H and I both went to work.... I do feel a little bad "abandoning" my kiddo with a mild temp, but I don't want to use my PTO right now if I have someone (at home) willing to care for the kiddo (for free). I have so little right now, and need to start banking it up for appointments and maternity leave... and H just started his new job. (so selfish of us)
FIL was going to watch her today anyway... they just can't do anything fun today, (like play outside or go to the zoo) like they have been doing.

trixi282: I understand why you feel bad, but she sounds like she's in great hands with your FIL! It's hard when you have limited time off, especially when you're planning for another kid and your H just started his job. I hope she feels better!

i don't think you need to feel bad about that for one second! I would have done the exact same thing in your situation.
Thanks ladies, that makes me feel better. Let's just hope this is a one day thing... I hope she's all better when I get home so I won't have to cancel on you tomorrow!
I have one more.... (if you're friends with me on facebook then you may already know this)
We have an alligator in our bedroom. For reals.
We took it in as a rescue last week but until we move there is no place else for him to go. So there is an alligator (a baby) in his enclosure beside my bed. If I get up in the middle of the night, he gets angry and lets out this huge hiss that still freaks me out a little.
Side note: for anyone who does not know me or what I do: no, it is NOT a pet. The reason we got it was because it was given to 2 boys for xmas as a pet. WTH. I still don't understand some people and why they do things like this. Both my H and I have experience with alligators and when we move he will have a huge custom built enclosure with pool that he can grow into.
I was leaning over the sink last night washing my face after work and noticed something down in my shirt when I looked in the mirror. I pulled out three honey nut Cheerios, pieces of crushed cheese its, and chocolate chip cookie crumbs. What in the actual fuck is wrong with me?

Don't feel bad, it sounds like a restful, quiet day with Grandad is what she needs. It's not like you dumped her off at daycare with a fever. I hope she's feeling better soon so you can have a fun weekend

I was internally happy G threw a fit when fil left. One because their relationship is good, especially with crazy mil. Two I know it made him feel good G was upset. And three H can't blame attitude/ behavior just on my mom when she leaves because he did it after his dad left to.
I also lie to my kid on the reg. Last night I told him while driving down the road that there were cows in the fields over there sleeping. He had been freaking out about going to grandpas to feed the cows. So I told him they were sleeping while pointing to a dark parking lot.
My H told me (while I was heating up my pizza bagel bites after I already had dinner...yes I ended up doing it) that he wasn't surprised that I was still hungry because it was apparent that none of the food I "ate" during the day actually made it into my mouth

bantyrooster I do the same thing. The other day she asked to play with something and I told her it was broken. She went to get more batteries and I told her we were all out. She moved on to another toy.
