FFFC Break down your walls and confess

[sammyca]

I did some pretty dubious parenting this week.
DD (aged 3) and I were building a house with her Lego when baby F threw a ball and knocked our building down. I started to sing "He came in like a wrecking ball" so DD asked me what a wrecking ball is. I could have tried explaining it or looked it up on google but instead I looked up the Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball film clip on youtube and we watched it together.
The conversation went like this:
E: "Mummy, what is that lady licking?"
M: "That's a sledgehammer. She's going to knock down the walls with it."
E: "Why is she licking it?"
M: "Ummmmm...look there's a wrecking ball. See its a big heavy ball on a chain that..."
E: "Oh now she's nuny (nude)"
M: "Um yep it's pretty hot work knocking down a house"
Yeah probably not the most appropriate viewing for a 3 year old.

I have taken nude boudoir(sp?) photos many times and made shutterfly calendars with them.

[stinybean]

Boringly (new word add it to your dictionary!) they were for DH but it was while we were still dating and previous to engagement by a lot of time.

I just love that it was printed through shutterfly. The people on the line are probably like "adorable a baby calendar, cool artwork calendar, more adorable babies, oh, oooohhh"

Here is my earth day confession:
At home I leave the water running while I use the restroom. It's upstairs in an old house and the water takes forever to get warm. The time it takes me to go is the perfect amount of time for it to warm up. DNW to wash my hands in freezing water.

I threw away an outfit this week because W blew out his diaper so bad. It was the first time he had worn it.

Someone used to do that all the time- i forget if it was here or another board. No offense to you but i would never do that. I find it very wasteful.

[mbjune13]

I yelled at B the other day. I felt absolutely horrible right after and still feel shitty about it now.

Widget123 , I'm not proud of it and it's the first time I've done it. The romper was in his bag from daycare and got missed in the shuffle so I didn't get to it for a full 24 hours. And daycare had left chunks stuck to it. I just couldn't bring myself to deal with it and at that point, the $8 I had spent on it seemed like a fair price to pay haha.

I agree, throwing stuff away every once in a while is not nearly as bad as throwing stuff away every single time.

Ugh, 24 hour old poop, definitely worth the $8.00 carrots.

Sometimes when everyone is talking about looking forward to the weekend, I just feel melancholy. I get stressed because H usually sleeps in and I'm up at 5 with the baby, so it doesn't feel like the weekend, aka sleeping in. I also get tired and worn out way too quickly. I shouldn't dread the weekend and sometimes I do. Bad mom of the year over here.

You're not a bad mom. That sounds exhausting! That's not fair for your mental health

My H also always sleeps in during the weekend...and also gets up around 8 on weekdays. O gets up around 6 but will just hang out watching his curtain get lighter (sunrise) until about 7. Our unspoken compromise is that I get at least an hour for a nap every Saturday. It's usually around 4pm. Most of the time I'm being a snappy, nasty bitch to him and he tells me to go sleep. So I do. Maybe you could work out something similar?

My confession-I didn't shower last night which means I haven't showered since Tuesday night. I feel so grungy today.

[3dimesdown]

Last night during one of LO's many MOTN wake ups, I got to thinking about some of the projects that need to get done at our house. I ended up getting so mad at DH about one not being complete (removing the pool) that I woke up DH and made him take LO, even though she was already asleep and this made her wake up. DH had to get up and go rock her while I went back to sleep.

My FFFC is kind of gross. I ordered one of those Amope foot buffer things this week. Came in yesterday. The amount of crap that has come off my heels has me gagging!!

[jillywilly]

I've thrown out a couple outfits because they were just flat out not worth salvaging. I've also thrown away Pyrex because it got lost in the back of the fridge and kind of forgotten about, and was not worth dealing with when I finally found the remnants (though I remember justifying this one as I had used that particular bowl a bunch already). Sometimes things simply aren't worth dealing with.

[kemdupuis]

holliberry28- we have a rule that we all get up at the same time for that very reason. Since I am still BFing B, DH obviously can't feed him, but he CAN go get him, change his diaper, bring him to me and make the coffee while I feed him. Hugs to you. That sucks.

This is my fffc every week I feel like, which I guess is also my fffc. I'm eating cookies for breakfast. We don't keep a lot of food in the house, we eat out all the time, and SO is obsessed with making cookies, so that's usually my breakfast. I can't wait to be in our house where I can actually cook and keep food in the house!

So, it works? Because that's the important thing to know.

Yeah, it works. The cracks in my heels are pretty deep, so I think it will take some more tries to get them completely smooth, but there is definitely a big difference. I was super skeptical at first and didn't want to spend the money on it, but I think it was worth it

S must have coughed and threw up in her bed lastnight (didn't cry or anything) and my first thought was, "She can't be sick, she needs to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house on Saturday night for the night."

My second thought was "My poor baby come let me snuggle you!"

Not proud of my first thought, but this mommy needs a night of sleep.

[alayne926]

kemdupuis, I've been wanting to try it. I think you've convinced me!

[Bluedaisy]

It's girls night Saturday and I'm WAY more excited for the bucket I plan to eat than the movie we are going to see.

Instead of a "Yay, your baby is 1, here's your $20 off coupon!" email, maybe they'll send you a "Yay, it's time for your annual nude calendar, here's your $20 off coupon!" email.

This exact thing happened to me yesterday morning. Luckily, no more vomit since, so I think we're in the clear. DNW to cancel our weekend away.

We were outside playing the other day and the kids were both so content and happy and I had to pee so bad the fight to get them both in for 10 seconds wasnt a fight I wanted to have (our yard is not fenced) so I found the most private spot I could and peed on the grass.

ok ive never done a FFFC so here goes - sometimes i take showers at night with my LO and won't shower the next day for work....and if i don't feel especially dirty, the next morning (but then i'll take a shower that night or when i get home from work...thus sometimes repeating the cycle) - E doesn't STTN and wakes up 3x or so a night so if it means i can lay in bed a little longer before i need to pump and go to work...i'll sacrifice shower for 15-20 more min of sleep...

and cradle cap...E never had a bad bout of cradle cap but did/does have a small patch on the top of his head. it never bothered him, i'd rub it every time we'd shower/bathe and i figured it would eventually go away but at his appt with his new dev drs, they said, do you know he has cradle cap? so now i feel like they're calling him a dirty kid and i doused my kid's head in olive oil to try to get it out.

I remembered my OU from yesterday, which was half FFFC. I totally posted a sex reveal US picture of DS1 on TD when I was pg with him. It was a non issue back then and everyone did it. I still don't think those are a big deal, non 3D that is. It's not the same as an actual full frontal naked picture of a baby who is already born.
