FFFC: TGIFFF

I love watching Dance Moms and I'm completely embarrassed by that.

yayglitter - LOVE Dance Moms! Every Tuesday, my husband knows to leave me alone for an hour (and now he usually has ice cream ready for me too!) I've been obsessed from the beginning and I can't quit! But Abby's losing her mind now...

Omg, seriously, what is up with Abby? I'm thinking maybe she's spread too thin, she has 3 different shows on that network! That, or the lawsuits are getting to her. All I know is I wish Kelly and Christi would come back, too much change too fast!

Our house loves Dance Moms. (Well DH not so much!) we series link it and DD and I cosy in to watch it once homework is done, DS is in bed and before she goes to bed. It's just a lovely time us girls get to spend together.

DD has been unbearably whiney and annoying today. I'm tired of trying to get her to sleep when we were doing so well with napping and I'm so tired from her crappy night sleep that I don't even want to go out for our Valentine's dinner tonight. FFFC: I plopped her on the floor in her room with her shape sorter and have been sitting in the glider ignoring her for the past 15/20 minutes.

Don't feel guilty - with DD I constantly played with and entertained her, thinking I was doing the very best for her. Big mistake - she's 7 and still can't play by herself and needs me to entertain her constantly. I vowed with DS to give him more "independence" and not make a rod for my own back. So, I try to leave him to play by himself for a little while each day. Obviously I watch him, but I leave him to it while I chill out for a bit. It's worked wonders because he is so content, rarely whines and happily plays and laughs to himself. He's much more chilled out than DD. So - it's not "ignoring"....it's "encouraging independence" ha ha ha!!

Yes, I completely agree with this! With Nephew1, my SIL spent every waking moment when he was a baby holding him, playing with him, entertaining him and hovering over him. Basically like a micromanager at the office but with a baby. Now he's 4 and can't even sit and watch a tv show or read a book by himself. And she can't go into the next room without him following her around or crying for her. Worst part is Nephew2 picked up on all these behaviors and is just as needy.

This is so nice to read because I often feel guilty if i sit down and watch a little tv while LO plays. I sit down on the floor with her. I felt like if im not in her face 24/7, im neglecting her haha

I'm constantly telling DH that he has to let DD play by herself. He's an only child raised by just his mom and is used to constant attention so he thinks she needs it too. He is with her all day on Thursdays & my mom says she's a clingy mess on Fridays.

I want to post this for anti-vaxxers, no chemicals for our babies people. Just for funsies...

Seriously, people who are afraid of chemicals make me wonder what they think chemicals are.
