FFFC 6/26

So we're going to a birthday party for 3 year old twins tomorrow. DH and I don't know what to get 3 year olds, and we sort of don't want to clog up their house with more toys they may or may not want. So we got each kid a $25 Visa gift card. I don't know if that's Simply Not Done for kids of that age, but from my current perspective it sounded awesome.

I'm sure the parents would appreciate the gift cards

I occasionally drink straight from my husbands fresh OJ container. Sometimes I want just a taste and I don't want to dirty a glass.

My 4 year old step sons favorite song is Rhiannas S&M. Yes I know it's inappropriate. He loves singing " come on come on I like it I like it". So we let him listen to it.

My son couldn't get enough of Pitbull & Ke$ha's (can't believe I just typed it like that) song Timber. The part that goes "swing your partner round and round" he'd start doing the motions from the wheels on the bus go round and round. Hilarious. 

My FFFC I'm a nail biter. Always have been. I've finally made a commitment to stop and bought some polish that has a bitter taste. I keep forgetting its on and use my fingers to break up DD's food. I think it's impacting her eating those foods because the flavor transfers easily, but I've got to keep wearing it for a couple more weeks to break the habit, so oh well. She can deal with it.

Why can't you use a fork and a knife until you don't need to use the polish anymore?

I can (and try to). I just keep forgetting because I'm used to just tearing things up for them quickly with my fingers.

Poor little B. I know I wouldn't eat my food if it tasted bitter. Don't you think it's more important for her to eat the food than for you to stop biting your nails? Is there something you can do to remember to cut up her food? Like keep silverware beside her plate or tray so you remember?

She's definitely still eating. There's just been some stuff she hasn't eaten and I don't know if it's her being picky or me. If she wasn't getting any food then I'd definitely reconsider, but right now it's just some stuff, so I figure we can both deal with it for a couple more weeks. It also hasn't seemed to slow down DS, so it may just be her deciding to be picky about foods and I'm reading into it too much.

I'm a day late since all the puppy madness.

So I read like half of the crap on A15. While I think the submit to your husband lady was a little whack, my FFFC is our household is run in a Christian fashion when it comes to that sort of stuff. While my husband and I take through major issues and for the most part make joint decisions, in the end I still defer to him. He is the head of our household and the leader of our family/marriage and so ultimately he has the final say. He also runs our household financially so I ask before making most purchases and where I should spend the money from. We have a financial status update/talk periodically but otherwise I don't think about it.

Eta- the confession part is I'm totally ok with it and don't feel that it's harming my feminism or teaching our daughter to be less independent or able to stand up for herself because of it.

We are exactly the same. We discuss all financial matters, but at the end of the day I defer to him for the final say. It works for us and I don't have to figure out what bills are withstanding.

The only bills I am responsible for, are our medical bills (that come out of our HSA) and my student loans. I love it, and it has prevented many arguments in our family.
