I don't set my FB page to private. I'm on social media, so whatever I put out there is public knowledge anyway. I don't care.

Maybe I'm naive, but I feel like it's different for "friends" to see what I post, compared to every random person who could search for me or be a friend of a friend's friend.

I agree! I have everything set to private. I was on FB the other day and jumped from page to page of people. I found a hair cut on a girl I loved and totally printed the picture for my hairstylist. Now I have some random girls picture in my house for a haircut idea. Totally strange and I if the roles were reversed I wouldn't want someone else to be able to do that to me, it's creepy yo

I suppose. I just don't care what anyone, stranger or not, sees on my Facebook page. I can't think of one thing (pictures of Kate included) that bothers me...

That wouldn't bother me at all.

A nann cleans the house too? Is that part of the deal? I would clean up the messes I made with the kids, but I wouldn't go scrubbing toilets or washing windows in my free time.

It just depends on the situation and pay. Personally, I can't stand a dirty house so I would always do some light cleaning when I had time, just because I was the one who had to be there all day. i also tend to charge more for that reason.

Ours does all the cleaning and laundry including CDs for the whole house. We pay her 5 hours extra a week to do all of that.  She also has time during naps.  We don't want her doing cleaning while she is taking care of DS.  Our situation is a little different than most because she lives with us, so naturally as a house member she has to contribute to keeping the house clean on top of her "work" duties.

Nanny = babysitter + chores, cleaning etc... Babysitter = watching, taking care of kids, no chores

I desperately want to TTC again but am scared of coming off my Lexapro. I tried weaning myself the past few weeks and finally stopped taking it for 3 days. I felt like I was losing it. Thankfully, DH was home to help out and give me a break. I want to try for baby #2 so badly but I am scared to talk to my ob about trying for another baby while on the medication. I'm scared to stay on it while pregnant and I'm scared to come off of it.

FFFC- one of the biggest reasons I'm hoping to be KU this month is because it would completely fuck over my work to have me on mat leave next summer.

Ha. This reminded me of when my boss asked me if I got KU'd with a due date during our "busiest time of the year" on purpose. That was awesome, especially since she knew about my previous m/c.

yeah. well your boss is an asshole.

Yeah. I don't post my full name, etc on all other social media.

Pinterest/twitter/IG/etc = social media that I keep public.
fb= nope. That's way more personal.  Plus I keep it locked down out of respect to my fb friends, too.  But I've also had FB since I was 18 (2004) so there's a lot of stuff on there that I don't want to go weed through.

I do hear you on the point of respecting my friends, especially when we take pictures of our kids together. I make sure to always ask if I can post (tell tell them my page is open, obvi). Most have said they don't mind, those that do mind I make a point to keep those pictures on a photosharing site that is private, but friends and family have access to.

I have never been on a plane and I felt a a ting of jealousy of all of you that travel often.

My vehicle inspection expired in Sept. we don't have $400 to fix what it needs to pass inspection and I'm stressed out worrying about it.

I'm irrationally upset at the bedside manner and lack of compassion and tools of a state ranked hospital my mom is in right now. I'm sorry but my father should NOT have to bring in her shower chair because a hospital that does rehab for paraplegics does not have the proper tools for her to use the bathroom. They also didn't take the proper measures to prevent pneumonia after surgery and now she has it. When my dad complained (there are many issues besides the ones I stated) he set up a meeting the person didn't even write anything and completely disregarded all of my dad's concerns.


this was more a vent than an FFFC sorry..but I'm just angry.

I think FB is a 'diary' and you should be able to post whatever random political nonsense or entries about your daily life. Especially if it's set to private, your friends are the viewers you've allowed to read your diary.

I agree with this too. I actually think there should be no "rules" for how people use FB. If you want to post 10,000 pictures a day of your kid - go for it. If you want to brag about how much you workout and post shameless selfies - go for it. Do whatever you want, it's your page and people can just not follow you if they don't like what they see.

This isn't really Flame-worthy, but I can't even keep CNN open on my computer today because there is a giant picture of some chick's mouth on the main page and it's so so gross.

DH is Naval Reserve and his drill weekend got cancelled this weekend because of the shutdown.  

I'm secretly happy about this because I did not want to solo parent the teething monster this weekend.  And I feel like a jackwad for being happy about something that's really bad for a lot of people right now.

What precautions did they not take to prevent a pneumonia?

They didn't give her the device 'incentive spirometer' I believe that's the name of it until after 4 days and realizing her lung had collapsed and she developed pneumonia. I may be wrong but I feel as though that's pretty important to have after any surgery especially for someone who can not get out of bed and walk around. Maybe someone who has more experience in this can explain it better to me.

I still NIP my 13mo old. Haters gonna hate.

Me too. I believe in what I'm doing & that's all the support I need. @holly_1007 maybe if you're honest about it, it will help people be more accepting of it. If you lie about it, it's as if you're ashamed. I get not wanting to deal with people's comments, but it's something worth defending, IMO.

That's true.  I'm definitely not ashamed, its just not accepted in my social circle/ family.  I've been defending myself for months and I guess I'm just worn out.  When I went on that elimination/ restriction diet I got SO much crap over it.  I guess I just feel like these people already have their minds made up and little old me isn't going to change it.

I don't like the head and neck rub that stylists do when they wash your hair at the salon. I usually end up tensed and with a crick in my neck. Just wash my hair and use that sprayer as much as you want, thanks!

For some reason, I knew you lived in the Cities. Not sure how/why I knew that.

@MississippiCatfish also lives in the Cities. (Part-time)


Yup, but I missed the first GTGs and never got to be part of the cool TC gang. Bummer.

My FFFC: my SIL is 36 weeks and told me yesterday that she thinks the baby is going to come "very soon." I smiled and told her we can't wait. Inside I wanted to throat-punch her because I went 2 weeks over and was jealous that she even THINKS she's going early. I'm a horrible person.
