1. My 3 month old totally watch es television. We put him in the bouncer on the coffee table in front of the tv. He talks to it the entire time and loves the colors and seeing the people. It calms him down and gives me time to do things when he's cranky like make dinner. I've also used it to keep him awake until a more acceptable time.
Edit to clarify. I think the longest he's just sat there is about 20 minutes. I don't put him there and leave him there for hours.
SO and I were both pretty sick a few weeks ago and the only way we could put the baby down where she wouldn't cry and we could sleep was to sit her in front of the tv. And yes this was for an hour or two. This is not an everyday thing. It was soley because we were sick and both needed to sleep.
erbear my ILs are on the trump bandwagon big time. Very scary!
Yesterday morning, I threw clothes on but didn't bother changing my underwear bc I was going to "get right in the shower after the baby eats." Actual shower time 7:30 pm. I'm nasty.
my kid coughed this morning and up came most of her bottle...twice. I only changed once and I now smell like baby vomit. I also ran last night and should have washed my hair..I didn't. I washed it last Saturday. I too am disgusting.

This morning on the way to work, I couldn't remember if I put deodorant on or not, and had to stick my hands in my pits, and pull them out and smell them to see to see what it smelled like....I couldn't tell if it was leftover deodorant from yesterday or not...
This is an old FFFC but in high school my friends and I would get into Disneyland all the time without paying. Basically if you go in a large group only one of you pays then they stamp that one persons hand. Next you just ask people walking out the park if you can have their old ticket stub. Then you lick your hand and have the friend with the stamp press it against your hand so it leaves the stamp on your hand. Then you walk in the park and if they ask why your hand is missing some of the stamp you tell them you put lotion on your hand and you show them your ticket stub. This was a loooong time ago so they prob have systems in place to keep kids from doing this.
We don't change bedding frequently for baby either. She doesn't spit up or pee in her bed. My son gets his sheets changed every Monday since he sweats a lot and gets way more dirty now playing.
I guess I'll add more to mine. When hanging out with H, most of the time Owen is sitting in H's lap watching him play computer games or playing on his DS (like the new gameboy). Screen time doesn't worry me right now, at all. I don't know what will happen when O's older but for now it's really a whatever as long as he isn't just vegging in front of the television all day.

I change her pack n play sheet every week now. I didn't before but now that she's sleeping on her tummy and drooling ALL OVER THE PLACE it grosses me out to see the spit rings all over the sheet.
Eww to the not changing baby's bedding. My kid voms way too much for that!
TV-wise, call me the world's worst Mom but FFFC I'm honestly not concerned about how much TV LO "watches". I play, read and interact with him a lot, I just also have the TV on in the afternoons when im doing housework. He likes it and it buys me some time.
She doesnt spit up after we burp her, once she starts sleeping on her tummy we will change it more often.
DS got his 2nd set of tubes put in his ears yesterday and his adenoids out. He was pretty out of it yesterday, but today he is acting perfectly fine.
FFFC: DH is staying home with him today and I am not sad at all that he has to deal with a crazy almost 3 year old by himself. He tried to make me feel bad for keeping him home from DC, but #1-I did not know how he would feel today and #2 I deal with that shit all weekend (usually) by myself, so you can have one day buddy.
DS is set up watching cartoon truck YouTube videos in the living room, while DD is napping, and I am hiding in my bedroom drinking a full cup of still warm from original brew coffee and checking social media. Normally I use DD's naps as time to spend some alone time with DS, but it's Friday, I rarely do this, all week H has been planning a work trip to Orlando next month that will leave me here for 5 days without him, so I deserve a hot coffee dangit!
Confession/UO: I don't give a shit how much screen time your kid has. You shouldn't give a shit how much screen time my kids has. It quite literally has zero impact on anyone other than my/your child.

Since @poppyc8 is doing highschool throwbacks: I got an A in my senior trig class thanks to a complete test answer booklet. And so did 15 other people. And we made all 16 copies in the main office.

I've been holding a grudge on one of the closest people to me when I know I have no right to. And I can't stop being mad. I can't even say who I'm mad at and why because I think I'd be kicked out of this group. #badperson.

This is usually something you get majorly flamed for in modern society, so...
I'm a practicing Catholic that agrees 100% with the church's stance on abortion, euthanasia, fertility treatments, capital punishment, and birth control.
My thoughts on this are if "God's plan" didn't include me having a second baby then the fertility treatment child sitting in my lap wouldn't be here.
I never thought this would be a FFFC but on this board I think it might be....I totally chucked my pregnancy tests as soon as I showed them to DH.
Also I use way too many ellipses.
+1. Then again I am not a sentimental person, so I get why people keep them, just not my deal.
+2 on this. I am a sentimental person but did not want to keep the pee stick. I did keep the piece of paper from Patient First confirming that I was indeed pregnant (DH made me go get a blood test before my OB could see me because "He didnt trust a stick you pee on".
