THE REAL FFFC

Confess bishes.

I was with a group of coworkers today and someone asked if we were doing anything for mean girl's last day, to which I responded:
"No, I will be celebrating privately."

[jessijean]

I haven't been to the dentist since I was pregnant. Mostly because well limited daycare plus I lost my full time job so money was tight. Excuses.

Part 2: I'm finally going in for an exam/cleaning and asked and asked when they like seeing kids. Between 1 and 2. Huh... I have no intention of taking him until he's closer to 3.

I don't want to go to DH's best friend's second wedding on Saturday. I actually can't stand most of the people who will be- except for the bartender and his open bar.

Also, often I think that even with 3 children I don't know how @justinslovo does it all and I wish she lived closer so she can also take my boys so I can get some stuff done.

Last weekend we took Bill to some a local botanical type gardens. My SO was holding Bill and he (Bill) saw a lone goose in the middle of a field and wanted to go see him. I was going to say something about how geese are super aggressive, but I didn't want to be a harpy andplusalso, the gardens probably get a thousand visitors a day traipsing through the place, so how territorial could the goose be? Well, my SO set Bill down and he immediately walked/ran towards the sitting goose... who got up and ran towards Bill and bit him right on his bare leg. As i saw what was about to happen I ran over and scooped Bill up so he wasn't injured, just scared...

But FFFC: I laughed hysterically at the whole thing.

When I eat Three Musketeers bars, I eat off all the chocolate on the outside, and eat that first (I bite the chocolate off like I am eating a corn on the cob). Then, I eat the soft nougat part on the inside by itself.

It's gross looking but delicious.

Does your insurance cover the visit? Ours does, so Bill has already had two "checkups/cleanings". It might be excessive, but I've actually found the visits pretty helpful and also, I'm a psycho about teeth.

I do that too!

I have a few today:

1. I really want to ask DH's cousin if she is pregnant even though I know she isn't. She, like me, is a big girl. She texted me at midnight years ago after seeing me in a parade to ask if I was pregnant. I replied, "No, just fat." I am still bitter.

Edit: Don't yell at me, I promise I won't do it. However, I reallllllly want to.

2. All this crap about "OMG, Donny and Melania don't sleep in the same bed" has got me bitter. Neither do DH and I, since mid-pregnancy. At first I wanted him back but now I have gotten used to spread eagleing over a queen bed by myself. He has bad depression and anxiety and barely sleeps even with meds to knock him out.

3. I have no idea when I will wean.

I think dentists just say that. My dentist told me 6 months. I was like "Well he doesn't have any teeth yet..." And they said it didn't matter.

It's 6 months after they get their first tooth.

elenetxu samesies. H and I haven't shared a bed since mid-pregnancy and I love it. I hate sleeping with him. He snores. I am a very light sleeper and I like my space. I currently bedshare with E and she snores and snuggles me all night but I don't mind when it's her. So I guess my FFFC is that I bedshare with my toddler while my H sleeps alone and we are both happy with this arrangement.

[kristhegirl]

Bed sharing with my toddler sounds like the absolute worst.

FFFC: I am the asshole who responded to a 3-week old FFFC, making it bump to the top. Sorry!!!!! I suck.

I have no idea when we will wean either, but that's not my FFFC.

The real FFFC is that I don't want to wean yet, (a) of course because I still believe its nutritious for baby and all that, but also (b) because sometimes I get jealous of all the quality time H gets to spend with Alia because of WFH. Our BFing time is the only quality time that's just ours. Selfish?

Not. At. All.

I do this with most things chocolate. I like to savor each part. I recently realized that I do it with Samoa Girl Scout cookies. I eat the perimeter first without eating the cookie, then scrape the top caramel off, then bottom chocolate, and finally a bare cookie. It lasts a while since they only give you like 12 cookies.

We have a Starbucks within walking distance from my office, and thanks to the Starbucks app, when I go for a walk, I just grab my phone, and stop at the Starbucks on my route for coffee. It’s awesome, you don’t need to carry money, just show the “Pay” feature of the app to pay.

There is also a Target on this walking route. While I was out walking, I randomly decided to stop in real quick to check out their wall clocks. Well, they had one I loved, so I grabbed a cart and put it in, then I realized I needed to buy diapers, which led to a few cute dresses for Alia, then I needed snacks for my office, ooooo, then a cute throw pillow…. You know, a normal Target trip.

I then head to check out, wait in line for 5 or so minutes. Then it’s my turn. I pull out my phone, ready to pay, and realize, “what am I doing??” In all my brightness, I fully expected to check out my basket full of goods with my Starbucks app. The Target lady got a good laugh. FAIL.

LOL - you so accurately described pretty much every single Target trip of my lifetime.

I only post in parenting on the tv show threads. Especially since they had the discussion if the term Irish twins was offensive. Most said it was not sans one person.

I seriously had no idea this could be offensive. DH's grandfather is full Irish and uses this term in reference to my kids all the time. I felt so stupid after reading the post.

[lovemyirishtwins]

My other one is that dh bought me a nice birthday gift this year. I was upset about the amount of money he spent. I asked him several times to return it. I felt like we had already spent a hefty amount on my pump. I know that was more of something I needed it still is solely for me. Whilst I love how thoughtful he is I just have a hard time with spending a lot of money on a gift.

Why would it be offensive? I am ignorant to this and have no idea!

I guess the term originated to mock the Irish and their fertility.

This conversation happened in the blinds several weeks ago. But most of the girls who commented about it claimed to be of Irish decent and agreed that they did not actually find it offensive.

I never thought of the saying that way. I honestly didn't know the origin. I still don't find it offensive, but I did think about it for a bit. Many people make racist jokes about Mexican's and their fertility, and if we were to make a saying like "Mexican twins" or something stupid like that, I think people would be offended today. I don't know. It just made me think about it differently. Still not offended though.

I hate that those Adidas shoes are popular again. I want a pair (bc duh every blogger looks so cute in them) but am so conflicted because they have always reminded me of Limp Bizkit (They were Fred Durst's signature look and all the girls in every video wore them as well).


for reference

[Deleted]

rachydc, did not know they ever went out of style. I thought those were a "classic." Definitely does not remind me of Limp Bizkit. I think you're good.
