FFFC : Just Admit it.

I'd much rather co-sleep with DD for a few hours, kicking my husband out in the process sometimes, rather than give her a bottle when I know its for comfort and not hunger.

Also, sometimes when she's crying on the floor for no real reason, I just ignore her temper tantrums. Most of the time she stops within a minute or so anyway and carries on playing.

[yalllow]

I sometimes really resent DH and the fact that he's at home. My kids don't like me - they go to him for comfort and I feel they just tolerate me. Nothing I want more is to come home to kids that have missed me and want me to hold them. Neither of them do. I've decided I'm just the meal ticket. Seeing my children 3 or 4 hours a day has made me an acquaintance.

Sometimes if I'm tired or LO is extra tired like last night, I will not feed LO a real food dinner. He gets milk at night for bed, so I just give him another bottle. He doesnt seem to complain and is just ready for bed. I feel bad though skipping it, but he eats at school all day!

I actually like circus peanuts. One of my favorite Easter candies are those chicks and bunnies circus peanuts things.

I actually like liver and onions.

yalllow, oh boy can I relate. I love that dh is home and lo is not in a center/daycare BUT that does not mean I am not jealous and miss so much being the one to be his primary provider. It is so damn hard some days. At night I want to hold him and cuddle and get my minutes of Levi love but when he gets tired and sometimes cranky he seeks daddy. It is frustrating but it also passes. Just a big you're not alone with this one. I bet you've presented it one way and reality while maybe not as kind to you / I as we'd like is not as bad as that. Levi does smile and come to me when I come home and that is the best sensation of the entire day. It makes me tear up if I think about it actually.

I post way more on my new BMB than I do on this board. (Although to be fair, I post mostly on FB for this group.)

[kimberpoo]

karebear omg, we still do primarily formula for LO's diet! we probably should switch to more solids, but he only gets maybe 1-2 servings of solids a day. formula is just so easy....

FFFC: I just hate DH today. it sucks. I love him more than anyone on the planet, but lately he's been driving me absolutely nuts and making me hate him. he complains constantly about his work schedule, how tired he is, blah blah blah. and in the meantime I'm basically a single parent with a messy roommate. and he's ALWAYS on his stupid phone. we will be at a restaurant and he will be face-down in the phone. he will be laying on the floor 'playing' with lo but ignoring him and on the phone. he will be laying down for bed and on that phone (like on FB and other apps). I'm going to seriously throw that thing out the effing car window. He's also ZERO help with LO lately. I'm just not going to cook or clean or do anything for him until he straightens up. is that right? no. but it makes me feel better.
sorry I guess that's more of a BF than a FFFC.

kimberpoo I went on a housework strike about a month ago and it seems to have helped the imbalance. Though it might help to tell him what you're doing and why too. Just be prepared to live with clutter and call his bluff.

Thanks to long term sleep deprivation my social filter isn't working as well as it used to and I'm developing a reputation at work as the one who will speak her mind and not worry about the politics. My FFFC is that I kind of like being known as the office snark queen and my keep this up when (if?) I ever get to sleep regularly again.

I don't know who is who on fb except for a few people

I'm getting married Monday... Supposedly... I'm sort of "meh" about the whole thing. I don't even know white I'm wearing yet.

Me either.

[bebeski]

FFFC: I'm so over having a "career" and what my employer calls "work life balance". There is no balance for a FT working mom. None. Especially when Your a "salaried" employee but still have to punch in and out. Hell yeah I'd take advantage of leaving early if I could too.
PS - best GIF ever yalllow!!

[g33kyg1rly]

I keep thinking maybe I'll actually join the FB, but even after chatting on this board for so long, I still feel somewhat weird about giving out my real name to folks who are still technically "internet strangers."

[linzerd]

Aubrey is still primarily on breast milk. And pouches. And puffs and teething crackers. And I have been giving her WCM a bit but..not much on solids. I'm slow going on that...

What?! This is so exciting! It's kinda are in the game to just be figuring out what you're wearing. Do you have any ideas?

I'm slowly learning who people are. It is definitely a process.

This makes me feel better. We do regular "solids" (purées) but we are taking forever to get to actual solid food. I feel so behind compared to everyone else.

Well, I have a dress I wore in October to a wedding, but it's mostly grey and black - I haven't tried it on again, so I'm not sure that's even an option. I will probably go out tomorrow to look. We did all buy white chucks to wear - so, I got my footwear covered.

I just have so much shit going on that I'm not really taking care of anything whole heartedly.

[bennieangel]

bsouls I hope you find something that you like. And I hope the day has some special moments for you to remember

[mrssmith613]

I still use a hair tie to "button" my jeans. They fit fine just feels weird to really button them, I think it's because of my csection. Never had that issue with my first.

This is camden too.. I haven't really given him sippy cups either except maybe twice. I just don't feel in a hurry this time around and there is still plenty of breastmilk in the freezer. For the first time today I gave him a half BM half WCM bottle

[angelsnight]

I completely forgot it was my brother's first wedding anniversary the other day, but timehop thankfully told me. Its not like I thought of it a few days prior either, it wasn't even a blip on the radar.

I also kind of feel bad that when I think of my brother's wedding, I automatically think of his first wedding 15 years ago. It was big, I was a bridesmaid, they had a long drawn out engagement. His second wedding was much smaller, I wasn't involved with any planning and I barely got dressed and ran a comb through my hair the morning of. I sometimes forget he is even married again, oops.

[angelsnight]

I am in no rush to break LO of her bottles. She loves them and it helps to get her to nap and sleep at night with a bottle.

Some mornings I give her a bottle and go back to bed. Or I get up with her, put her in her jumper so she is safe, put on bubble guppies and doze on the couch. The other day she was playing so nice on the floor, I didn't bother moving her and I dozed off for a few. When I woke up she was gone....she had made it all the way across the room but she was blocked by furniture so I couldn't see her at first. I do feel bad about that.

I'm getting pretty good at remembering since I'm on FB more than here, but it's really nice to have that "introduce yourself" thread pinned to help!!!

Ffsc: we make DS1 his own food different from what we're eating basically for every meal.

We do this for most meals. However LO is getting more interested in what we are eating. We let her try it but she wouldn't eat enough of it to count as a meal for her.
