Not only has Aubrey had diarrhea all week long, and ruining all her outfits.. She is now throwing up all her bottles.. including her pedialite.. Her Pedi said if she isnt better by tomorrow to bring her back in for an antibiotic.. which he didnt want to do bc that gives you even more diarrhea.. lovely..

Where is nowhere, by the way? (I am in PA, too, so just curious!)

I'm sorry she is sick.
But, FML is when your child is scheduled for surgery tomorrow (like mine is). Not when they have a little bit of diarrhea. I think you need some perspective.
Or maybe I am just not in a good place given the state of my own child's health.
I think FML is more for what she's saying. . like damn my life sucks b/c I am being inconvenienced by cleaning up tons of barf diarrhea. My child going to have surgery would cause me to pray, not curse my life. Just sayin'.
Seriously though, lots of love to your LO for surgery. Maack had to get an IV placed (11 stick tries over 2 days), then was taped to a table for 48 minutes for a renal scan and it was the worst/saddest experience of my life.
I'm going to go with the benefit of the doubt here and say that it is. Its horrible that your DD is so sick and needs surgery, but right now, in Fish's world, her DD being sick and having diarrhea and vomitting more then qualifies as an "FML"
Nursed without dairy, egg, soy, peanut, treenut, fish, shellfish or beef for over a year.
Currently tandem nursing dairy, egg, and shellfish free.
DS born via emergency c/s after 20 hrs of labor. DD successful VBAC!

You two are both asses. She's having a rough week. This is the worst that's happened to her, so in her opinion, this is considered an FML. Sorry your kid is having surgery, I'm sure that's rough. Just so you know LCB, you DON'T have to be a b*tch every single time you post...and you don't always have to one up everyone. Frick woman...you aren't the only person in this world.
I'm sorry your daughter has to go through surgery. Best of luck to her.
I'm just saying it fvcking sucks cleaning up Diarrhea and vomit 24/7 for a week straight.. hence the FML
Exactly. LCB your kid isn't the only one to have surgery. GTFOver it.
This exactly... there's a whole site devoted to FML of random annoyances, I think in general slang it's used for situations like Fish is in.
Sorry you guys are having a rough week! Hope LO feels better!
Couldn't have said it better! Fish, I hope DD feels better soon. LCB, I hope DD's surgery goes well tomorrow and she recovers fast.
My UO. . I love when a totally innocent post gets blasted. Let the hilarity ensue.
And for what is worth. . I am cleaning up boogies--I can't even imagine having to clean up barf. Especially the way infants barf. Child sits normally. Barf flies from mouth onto the one thing that had any value within four feet.
I just think people need perspective. Does a stomach bug suck? Yes it does. Is it the end of the world? No it isn't.
And, like I said, I am not in a good place given the state of my child's health. I haven't posted about it as I prefer to be a bit more private with certain aspects of my life but, if you ladies even knew half of what we are dealing with, I can promise you wouldn't be calling me b!tch.
But, thanks for letting me know I am trying to "one up someone" one the sick kid scale. I am guarantee you that I wish I didn't have a sicker kid.
I just wanna say your son is friggin adorable...
Sorry Fish... that's one rough week.
LCB I hope Kate's surgery goes well.
haha no I didn't! But I only used the zz because I thought that the word a ss isn't allowed on TB.
LCB- I'm sincerely sorry for all that you're going through with you LO. It must be an awful feeling knowing your child is having so many problems, but it's not necessary to knock someone else down like that. Everyone is entitled to have their own bad days and it isn't a contest as to whose day is worse.
Fish- I'm sorry you're having such a bad day. Hopefully she'll bounce back soon.
Oh and diarrhea all day isn't 'normal baby stuff'... it's a signal that something is wrong.
You, too!
And FWIW, I believe it's alright to be worried about your child no matter how severe his or her condition is. After all, what kind of mom would you be if you didn't worry? (Whether it be an underlying medical condition or diarrhea, etc.)
I wish nothing but happy and healthy babies to all!
Thank you!!!
Fish, everyone comes here to vent from time to time. And having a baby with diarrhea for a week straight does suck, and is vent-worthy. I am so sorry you are having such a rough time! Hope she starts feeling better soon.
LCB, benefit of the doubt on the response because you are going through a lot of really tough things with your baby. Max, no excuse for you being a snot. Shrugs. There are different levels of difficult things going on in everyone's life. Just because someone says they are having a hard time with diarrhea, doesn't mean that they aren't thankful for the overall good health of their child. And it doesn't mean that they don't recognize that others may be worse off.
There are babies much worse off than yours, does that mean that you shouldn't post ever about the struggles with your child, LCB? No, of course not. Because regardless of what your struggles are, it is nice to have someone lend an ear or be supportive. No matter how big or small.
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mommas I have gotten to know!
Addie Grace at 8 months - you will see plenty of her in our 365 Blog!
August 23, 2010. Best day of my life.
I'm pretty sure that's a popular opinion around here..
Especially when its in your hair and running down your outfit, onto the fabric chair and on the floor.. oh and when your in public and they have a blowout in their carseat and you dont have an extra outfit and you have cold groceries in your cart..
Touche. And your bubbas are adorable!
LCB I'm really sorry that your LO is going through such rough times. I hope all goes well during her surgery and that she has a speedy recovery. However, if you know your not in a good place because of what your LO is going through then don't comment on posts like this one. We're all entitled to complain/vent about what's going on with our LO's regardless of how minor some people might think it is.
Fish - I'm sorry you're having a sucky day/week. I totally understand the frustration of poopy clothes being ruined and spitting up bottle after bottle.
To everyone else:
There is no such thing as the Pain Olympics. You do not get prizes for who has the sh!ittiest life. One person's hellish day will be another's Tuesday. Everyone needs to get over themselves.
That's all I have to say about that.
Unable to even.

Oh, FFS.
Having a sick child sucks and I can't even begin to imagine how horrible it must be to have a child with serious health problems. Still, someone should be allowed to vent about having a rough week without being scolded. Someone mentioned perspective? Go read that Baby Scarlett blog and get some.
@ Fish, I am so sorry about your LO...I imagine it's quite rough.
@LCB Yeah, yeah...I'm sure that whatever you're going through gives you the right to be judgmental about what others are going through. I try not to respond to people like you often but if you're going through as much as you say you're going through then why do you have the time or energy to respond to a post like this where you have nothing helpful to say? Oh, yeah...you want to draw attention back to yourself. Heaven forbid anyone else wants to vent about their lives and yes, there will always be someone who has it worse.
Hey, how about this? Maybe FML isn't meant for you either b/c even though your child is having surgery tomorrow I'm betting that another baby somewhere is having surgery that is even more difficult with possibly even more dire results than your daughter's surgery.
Also, FWIW, I'm willing to bet that if your little girl was perfect healthy you'd still be just as judgmental. You know what? You choose how life affects you...you can either let things in your life make you a better person or you can choose the route you've taken and become someone who judges others and has that holier than thou attitude b/c you think you have have such a difficult lot in life. Grow up and take responsibility for your own actions, don't keep blaming it on your poor sick daughter.
Well written. I was thinking this, but didn't know how to put it into words.
I agree with you OBH
