So my son just came up and goes "Hey smell this finger" I asked why and he goes "Because it was in my butt!" and laughed. Boys are so gross sometimes.
Oh the joys to come lol
He did turn around and ask me to hold him and cuddled my arm as he fell asleep for nap. After he washed his hands of course!
He's loud, crazy, gross, and moves non stop, but honestly he is such a mommy's boy and I have such a bond with him that I don't have the same with my daughter. Boys are amazing.
I had a lady ask me if I was "positive" I was having a boy because apparently I'm carrying high and she has had 3 girls and i look just like her.....yeah I'm pretty fucking sure since I had to have IVF and got genetic testing and the nurse blurted out before I was pregnant that my embryos are both boys! Plus we've had it confirmed by multiple u/s.
TP to my dad. I'm sick with a sore throat and my dad called and asked how I was feeling....I said "tired and in bed" he says well what are you going to do when you are sick with a newborn? You can't spend all day in bed" Really? No shit! I'm in bed bc I don't have a newborn yet, obviously I don't plan on abandoning my kid when I'm sick! I don't have a kid yet and plan on doing whst I've always done until the baby comes.
I hate these kinds of comments. That and then the opposite "sleep while you can" bs. I know life will change with an infant, leave me alone right now before I punch you.
And your mom wonders why you don't want him there right after birth.
tikoberry99 ohhhh man, sending over multiple TPs to your dad. So what, because in a couple months you'll have a baby means that you should be living life right now like baby has already arrived? This is the time that you're supposed to be enjoying your last few weeks of sleeping in and doing whatever you want!
I really just want to TP everyone I come across lately, I've got no patience and feel so angry and irritable all the time haha. I wasn't feeling very good last night so H and I decided to hang out in our room so that I could lay down and rest. Well I was playing on my phone, he was reading his birth partner book,it was really nice and relaxing....and in comes my mom. She's got one of those individual floss pickers and is going to town on her mouth so all we hear is her picking away at her teeth which makes me cringe. She hits the room light so that the obnoxious ceiling light turns on and blinds us and says (more like screams because her voice is so loud and obnoxious) "you shouldn't be reading in the dark! It's too dark in here! You're going to hurt your eyes!" Even though there was a lamp on and it was perfectly fine. And then she starts walking around our room and looking at things, making comments like "I think there are things here you could throw out before we move out" and "why is this pillow on the floor? Is this one of my pillows?" all while flossing her teeth.

lol that would suck. It means driving once a week to Sacramento(2 hours each way) until he arrives. Then doing it after he arrives for at least a month.
mcktymck , You will deserve the biggest reward for not murdering your mother by the time she moves out.
As soon as she walked out I turned and stared at H with I'm sure a crazed "I swear to god I'm going to kill her" look in my eyes and he said "two more weeks. The longest two weeks ever." My response was "she's not going to be alive to enjoy her new house at this rate!" You'd think she'd know not to test the patience of a very pregnant woman, apparently not.
mcktymck, How have you not killed her yet? Seriously.
tikoberry99, Punch him in the throat. And then when he complains ask what he would do if he had been throat punched and had a newborn.
cabbagecabbage, I've resorted to telling people that I feel like my vag is about to fall out of my body. That usually shuts the conversation down real fuxking fast.
sarcaztic10, yeah mommy and daddy sound very juvenile esp now that I have a kid who calls me mommy. Works for a 2 year old, not so much for a 32 year old. My BIL calls his parents mommy and daddy. It's kind of odd but fits him so I hardly notice it.
I still call my parents mommy and daddy but only to them. Just never made the transition. But if I'm talking to someone else I say "my mom" or "my dad".
I think calling your SO "mom or dad" is weird. My XH's parents did this. Like my MIL would be like "Hey dad can you come here?" to her husband. I get saying it to your kids, like "hey go tell Daddy dinner is ready" but I call my husband by his name or sometimes a pet name.
I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS!
That drives me insane. If my child is not in the room, I'm not calling Mh "daddy" for any reason. Unless there are handcuffs involved

I accidentally call DH "Dad" so often. It's not what I choose to call him but I refer to him as Dad so much in conversation with my kid, that it just happens sometimes. I'm sure I found it really weird before too.

Oh, I've totally accidentally called Mh "dad." Especially, if I'm asking him to do something after the kid is down to sleep. Haha. But I never actively refer to him as that in conversation. I do know people who purposely do, though.

Speaking of what we call people, I have two more complaints.
I had a coworker who was a bit older and southern. He called his mother Mother. When he told stories in his pretty accent it was always, "Mother said..." it was seriously creepy. I felt like I was in a horror movie.
Also my SIL calls our MIL Mom, which, ew. I have a mom and my MIL is not her. Also my SIL hates our MIL. Haaates her. So why on earth does she do that? I call her by her first name and she has never once asked me to call her mom.
Also my SIL calls our MIL Mom, which, ew. I have a mom and my MIL is not her. Also my SIL hates our MIL. Haaates her. So why on earth does she do that? I call her by her first name and she has never once asked me to call her mom.
Yep, this bugs me as well! My BILs wife calls my MIL and FIL mom and dad, it's always weirded me out but I guess they asked her to call them that? I'm sure they would love me to do the same but nope, not my style at all.
Somewhat related, H and my mom have their own special names they call each other, my mom calls H "Sil" and he calls her "Mil", which is kind of funny.
cabbagecabbage I hate that too. I feel like every annoying coworker asks me every day, and I try to share as little as possible with them. DNW to be talking about constant peeing etc with these people. I usually act clueless and just and just turn it back at them by responding brightly, "I'm good, how have you been?"
This is my go to response as well. People must expect me to offload a bunch of feelings and symptoms, so when I say, "Great, how are you?" they give me a WTF face. I love it. I don't want to talk about my uterus with you, thanks!
My older coworker, who is born and raised in a pretty country part of Texas, refers to her parents as "Daddy" and "Mother." I give her a pass because it must be regional and generational for her. No pass for anyone else. Especially spouses.

I call my ILs mom and dad. Calling them by their first names seems weird to me, but they are older than my parents so maybe that's why.

I literally only speak to my IL's when spoken to so I actually have never called them anything. I would never be able to call them anything other than their first names though if I had to.

1. My parents floss in bed and I think it's the grossest thing ever!
2. Is your mom related to my dad? I get similar comments when he visits...why is the light on in the kitchen? Don't you think you should straighten up the counter? He also has an issue that we eat organic and try to be as environmentally friendly as possible. I think he thinks I think I'm better than him because I buy "expensive" organic food, but nope I just don't feel like ingesting pesticide...it's a personal choice...so if I offer him fruit at my house he will say "only if you dip it in pesticide first " or some other type of obnoxious comment. I'm lucky I don't live with him...props to you for putting up with your mom for so long! I don't know how you do it

Yep exactly the same with my BIL's husband. He calls the in-laws mom and dad. I kind of wonder if they would like me to call them that, but I've been married for 5 years so not gonna happen. I have a mom and dad. My H has a mom and dad. And they are not the same people!
Also, remind me again why you are living with your mom. I thought you moved in with her to save money while your house got finished. But now I feel like that's wrong bc she's moving out in 2 weeks?
rungirlrun close! They (her and her bf) are building a house that'll be done in two weeks, and she owns the condo we're all in currently and isn't ready to sell it yet. Our apartment lease was up in March so we came up with the idea to move in with them when it was up, and then once they move out we'll rent the condo from her. It'll be great once they move out because we'll have almost double the space we had in the apartment, just need to make it to June 3rd without killing anyone

My In law specifically asked me to call them mom and dad. MIL already has emotional issues being a step mother and it's not worth the argument. Calling DH's dad is easier for me since mine passed away a long time ago. But otherwise I will be honest I try not to use "Mom" if I can help it. I have called her that less than a hand full of times. lol
I can't stand my dogs at the moment. One just constantly barks...at everything. And he does this stomping/jumping thing at his reflection and it's so fucking loud and annoying. I know they need more exercise, I just can't right now.
I also can't deal with the licking sound. It makes me see red and rage. It's strange, but I want to kill them when I hear them licking.

You have all my sorries, the licking sound is the absolute WORST.
So I went to the doctor and am currently in L&D because it was too late in the day to do an NST in the office. I was monitored for an hour, given Procardia, and am basing monitored for another hour but everything seems the same. The US showed that my cervix isn't thick but not thin either, but baby looks great. Who knows what will happen from here, I'm glad I ended up going in though
