@LaurelBee, dry shampoo didn't do much for me. When I'm really desperate, I use baby powder, but it's not a miracle worker.

DS's first tooth poked through right at 5 months and I'm still pissed about it.
(Not a confession, just commenting on teething talk)

Dd had 6 teeth by 7 mos and I was like that's some bullshit! She's a nurser and a biter. Feel all your sorries for my nips. Does your LO bite @lexilupin?

I may lose a friend after bumping my coming out as an atheist note I wrote last year on FB yesterday.  I guess if they can't see I am still the friend they've known for 18 years and not some godless heathen, then they can suck a cheesy dick.

I'm surprised that anyone takes @manneek1977 seriously at this point. 

I'm wondering if we're being fooled that she isn't taken seriously, and these are real confessions.

Damn it @manneek1977

I have major gift giving anxiety. Going to BFF's baby shower tomorrow and worried my gift isn't as good as what she got me. Silly, I know.

@missyishere, I hope your friendship survives. I'm an atheist but I still have friends who are religious and I can look past that ;-)

Those friends who are super relig are okay with me; it's the in-betweeners that seem to have the bigger issue.  I don't get it.  I can still live among the theists with no issue or anger with their beliefs, why can't they accept I don't have to feel the same as them in order to be a human?

@Laurelbee, I wish I could do that.  If I don't wash my hair at least every other day it is disgusting, and people would definitely notice. 

You have to "train" your hair to do that.  The more you wash it the more natural oils your body produces.  You have to start by skipping a day, then two, then three.  I only have to wash my hair once a week too.  It's glorious!

I actually feel pretty bad about my confession today.

My BIL got married over the summer.  H and I are really close to BIL and new SIL even though they are several years younger than us.  We live in the same town and they have been renting a condo we own.  We hang out all the time,  and we just really have a good relationship with them and I love them a lot. 

So they told us Monday that they've put an offer on a house and are planning to leave our condo, which is perfectly fine although a bit of hassle because we're going to put it on the market, but whatever.  They were afraid we'd be mad and we're not. 

However--the confession--I am so jealous of them right now that when I found out I seriously felt like I was going to vomit.  SIL's mom is giving them a LOT of money to put down on a house--I mean, she's got to be giving them several hundred grand.  The house they're buying is in my dream neighborhood, it's a beautiful house, they're paying like 2-3 times as much as what we paid for our house, it's basically a home we would probably aspire to buy in like ten or fifteen years, and it's their freaking starter home. 

I love our life and our home but I am so envious of them right now.  It's like they're leapfrogging all of our hard work and life experiences and jumping right into a better life than ours.  And they totally deserve everything they get, I'm just jealous.  And sad for H that he didn't marry someone with a family that could shell out that kind of money as a gift.   

I need someone to slap some sense into me, pls.

It's because of their own personal struggles. They're projecting their religious/non religious insecurities on you. It's easier that way.

justAphase said:

I'm impressed by your note @missyishere. I'm too scared to come out as an atheist/maybe agnostic to my family because they would either disown me or become so obnoxious I couldn't handle it.

Thank you @justaphase.  I did not to taunt their beliefs nor make anyone upset.  I felt there was nothing for me to hide, and that if there are other atheist friends of mine out there, they shouldn't feel ashamed either.  I shit you not, everyone of DH's friends who have asked him questions on his beliefs first ask if he is a satanist.  Ferreal.  By coming out, it opened questions, and it's allowing others to understand and not assume our feelings.

She may be jealous of you guys, too. Yeah, it's easy to do all those things when it's given to you, but you and your Dh worked for what you have and that's more envy worthy than anything IMO.

littlestjerry

I get jealous of BIL/SIL too and I hate it. But it's not really a feeling you can have control over. So then I hate it even more.

Libby1978

@scoutkate

I totally know the feeling.  My SIL built a huge house last year and even though I love my normal sized house I was a little jealous at the time.  My kids say her house is a mansion.  It isn't really, just a big house.

missyishere

I don't regret bumping it @lexilupin.  She can ask questions, and I will answer them.  If she can't accept it, then it's on her.  My very religious family was who I was more concerned about, but they have taken no issue with it.  My friends have been friends for a very long time, but I've grown closer with some of you as of late.  

Libby1978

@missyishere

You are very brave.  I can't "come out" as atheist.  Only a few people know.  I think there is a huge possibility that some people would back away from me.  I don't think my family would disown me, but they would worry about me going to hell though.

My DS had his two front teeth come in at 4 months. He has 8 teeth but they've been in for a while. Maybe since 8 months? He is very toothy. When he chews his bottle nipple I wince and am suddenly grateful my milk dried up at 3 months.

I can't think of any confessions. I had one yesterday but I can't remember what it was. Hopefully I can remember to contribute!

theimpossibleastronaut

I don't post much on my BMB anymore. I think the vibe here is more my style. I learned a lot from the ladies there, but I enjoy the funny and diverse topics we talk about here.

I've heavily considered that, but I choose to live in a world where they're all lies versus all truths. @missyishere

Either way,it's annoying. Fake confessions are just as bad as cruel real ones.

@missyishere my sister is Catholic (by her own decision, we did not grow up religious at all) AND a geneticist...I don't understand how you work in the science of evolution (basically) and still hold to Catholic beliefs...

@Jack19 I didn't want to love this to give you the wrong idea, but I have the exact same relationship with my dad.

scoutkate

I kind of want to run and hide from this thread because I totally eeyored the shit out of it.  Sorry, friends.  And thank you all for your kind words, you're making me feel much better about things.  I'll get over it, I really do love our house and the life we've built and I couldn't be more thankful, really.

Oh I remembered! The daycare people make a big fuss over DS. Like they will be holding a baby and when we come in they put the baby down to take DS and give him a hug. Sometimes the other parent is still in the room, awkward! The director said "don't tell anyone but he's my favorite". She put more pictures of him on the bulletin board than the other babies. I only feel like 10% bad about it. My kid is the cutest in the room. The afternoon lady doesn't like him because hes a handful and wont nap so it balances out.

What's wrong with being a godless heathen?  I am an orthodox godless heathen and proud of it.

I'm just going to mass respond here...

- 2 Day old panties and using a handicap placard that isn't yours = post it (still on the post-it if this shit isn't real because fake confessions are lame shit)

- DH and I are celebrating our anniversary this weekend.  I'm leaving DS at my parents house from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.  We're going to out a nice dinner and a delicious brunch.  I have my period but I'm going to demand sex anyway.

- If it didn't dry out my scalp like whoa, I'd wash my hair every day.  24 hours after washing my hair, it looks grody.  I'm trying to get into dry shampoo but it's been a rough introduction.

- @scoutkate I get the housing envy.  I was up in CT visiting my friends from high school and my two good friends were talking about their "starter" homes.  Each one is over $1.4 million.  They are in Darien/New Canaan/Greenwich area so what you get for $1.4 million is a joke, but I couldn't help myself. 

You forgot so many more, though......

I love the Bedhead one. Rockstar or something like that. And if you have an ulta nearby, they have the pink (breast cancer promo, but same stuff) can available for about half the regular price. This is the time of year I stock up.

Suave makes a great one too!  I use it every other morning on my hair so I can skip a day in between washings.  Also, it makes my hair smell really good.

I haven't washed my hair in a week. I could still go out in public and no one would know.

I hope to haven't answered this already, but I have not read the whole thread yet. Do you do baking soda and acv? I have not washed my hair with shampoo for two weeks and my hair is transitioning...I hope it won't seem so oily soon. How long did it take for you to get to the point where you could go 4 or 5 days without a wash?

I've never baked a turkey. We've found 3 damn mice in our laundry/pantry room. They are only on the floor so no problem eating our food but still. We've killed them by using those extremely sticky pads. I put the first one in a Walmart bag then smashed itvwurhba shovel. Then hub killed the second, I got the third by putting it in a cup and slamming in into the ground. I couldn't just poisen then and let them suffer. My ways sound horrible but it was instant. I wanted to just throw them in the trash but they'd just stave to death. I still feel bad but one mouse is left and I'll kill it too if I catch it

@emkatarine That was a dick move. I'd feel really judged for sure. I'm Christian and hate when forgiveness is thrown around like it's easy or like it makes everything better. It's bullshit and so wrong of him to do that.

@littlejerry Please be honest with your doctor. The doctor will figure out you didn't do the test when you don't show, so if you're embarrassed or ashamed, that will happen no matter what. If you talk to your doctor about your concerns he or she may be able to figure out a way to make the procedure less miserable to the point where you'll do it, do other less invasive things first that will eliminate other causes, do a medicine trial... I'm not sure what's going on but if you won't do the test please tell the doctor. A good doctor will work to find a way around it, but can't do that if you're not honest.
