I ate a mini can of crescent roll dough.  I gotta get back to eating healthy. 

I whacked my dog last night for licking, and the next time I heard it I sat up to give him the death stare.  Yah, our windows were open and the rain was slurping, not him.

K, I can get on board with that!

Did you eat raw crescent roll dough? I'm hoping you'll say you cooked it and now I need to know how? Just like crescent rolls are supposed to be cooked? Sorry, I'm hungry....and this conversation seems to help a little.

@thetwinkiesandvivi you are a rock star and I love the shit out of you.

I just needed to get that off my chest.

Thanks, it's pretty much mutual. And, I sort of needed a boost today, thanks spoof.

@Afunky6 Sorry that you're bummed that you can't wean off the meds. I know you know that you're doing the right thing. No shame in still needing them at this point. And good for you for taking care of yourself so you can be the best mom possible.

@cheenomae raw, all 4 triangles.  yum. 

I feel like I need to post a confession every time I post so I'm not just littering this thread.  I'm not gonna lie, I've spent most of the day on here. 

Here's one - I've been home with croup kid this week.  She's on the couch, cries to get down, off the couch, cries to get up, follows me around and slams herself at my feet when I have to put her down for one second to fill her cup.  At about 5pm last night, after 3 solid hours of crying, I looked at her and asked, "what?  what do you want?  what do you want me to do?  pick you up so you can cry?  put you down so you can cry?"  I said it so calmly, but she still picked up on my asshole vibe. 
:-S

I've never eaten it that way and it's freaking me out. Also, it's intriguing me. Damn you...

Your last confession.... Right now I feel like this is my life. For the last year. My baby hates me, he seems to just hate life. While we have great moments with him most of the time is spent with him just pissed off. I'm not sure what I've done wrong. I want to be so excited to pick him up from DC everyday and be excited to love on him, but instead I find myself dreading the pick up. I love him like crazy, but he drives me crazy!! I get jealous of my friends with kids who are easy to be around. DS is not one of them. Not yet anyway. So daily I'm like how @TheAnne is today. I get off at 5 and then sit at my desk and do...anything until 5:15 or later because I'm dreading the rest of my evening. That was a really sad story for y'all, I'm sure.

Also, sorry your DD has croup. I hope she starts feeling better soon!

jenndub

@tinyhumantoe Croup is the shittiest thing ever, sorry that you and W have to go through it. When Emma had it, she was about 18 months, I called my then boyfriend a twat for not helping. Points to me for not calling Emma a twat. That was our biggest fight ever at the time. Turns out I was right, that guy is a twat.

FFFC, I am a name caller.

At the end of Monday, my MIL looked like she did an internship with the trash service.  And they made her ride in the back with the compacter. 

She had previously offered to watch W the whole week, but she suddenly got booked up with appointments for Tues-Fri.  She's retired, so I'm thinking okay, general doctor, OB, hair.... um.... what other possible appointment could you have booked, bwahahaha.  I wonder what the diagnosis is... cold/thyroid/yeast infection/split ends/emergency insurance renewal?  I can be a butthead because she could have just told me it was too difficult, like before Tuesday morning at 630am with no backup.

FFFC, I make more money than DH, I work more than DH (by at least 20 hours a week), so I feel like he should clean the house and do laundry and cook. But he doesn't, at all. He only keeps the baby alive. It's making me want to kill him. The second I walk in the door he's all, "What's for dinner, we're starving."

Wait, is he home with LO while you're expecting him to clean, do laundry and cook?  Because while I do think that he should  be pitching in, it's a lot to ask some days to keep the kid from killing herself and get all the housework done.  I do dinner every day, but the housework often slides.  I don't want to get all mommywars on this, but caring for a kid is kinda a full-time occupation some days.  I don't expect that just because you SAH you have to do *all* the housework.  Maybe more, but all is a lot to ask.

Also, it is shitty to say he should do anything because you make more money. Working more? Okay. Making more money? That's rather low.

I used to eat a can of crescent rolls for dinner (cooked) at least once a week. It's one of the things I miss about being single.

I just got done at the doctor's. I was hoping we could start to wean off the depression meds, but he said that right now with my scores being so high that I need to be back on it. I feel like I shouldn't need them and it's dumb to need them this late after having A, even though I know in my head that's not true. That's how I feel though. Fuck this Friday.

Hugs!!!! Like I mentioned earlier this week, I tried to go off mine too and it wasn't time yet. You aren't alone. Frustration is normal and you are doing a good thing for your family by taking care of yourself.

I'm eating some right now.

Our therapist's scheduler just asked if we actually want to continue therapy due to a month of no appointments. I was sort of thinking they probably think I don't care about the girls or I'm just done and didn't give notice. But shit, in the last month there was one week of insurance mess up,surgery, hand foot and mouth,an ambulance trip to ER, and a horrible stomach virus. oh, and the therapist was off one week.And of course things always happen the day of or before therapy. I always call with as much notice as possible.
ETA: this probably isn't even confession worthy, I just have a stomach in knots over it.

I'm sorry it has been such a hard month. Just state that you still want the therapy very much, but that it has been difficult with the medical issues this month. Don't let them guilt you. You are doing amazingly and they are there to provide this service to your daughter.

Thank you for solving my current mystery. I had no clue what was up with my green skittles.

L8kissie

I don't have anything juicy, but figured I should come up with something if I'm responding this late in the game. I'm feeling guilty for wanting to cancel scouts for the second week in a row. Last week I only had one kid, but this week I have a sick daughter and don't feel great myself. I'd rather stay home, even though we have tons to do on the boat and the program needs to have some life in it.

On the money subject, I have brought up the money thing more than I would like to admit.  I work more hours and make more money.  My schedule is crazy sometimes and damnit he should be doing more around the house.  

The other night he watched me clean the living room, do all the dishes, clean the kitchen and dining room, I had walked the dog, and there was laundry going.  He was playing with his phone and didn't move a muscle.  I lost my shit.  

Money = time

I don't think that's right. Everyone knows that money=time. You shouldn't make your significant other feel like shit just because you make more money. Both people in a relationship are equally important. Your significant other should be helping regardless of who makes what.

ETA: Clarification.

It is my weak point.  And I do know that.  It is just one of those things.  I made him sound like a dead beat which he isn't.  It is just the unfortunate reality of late.

Family agreement for the person that makes more money to work more hours. Totally cool and totally normal. And agreement for the person that is home more to help out around the house more, also totally cool and totally normal. Fights because that person isn't living up to that agreement, sucks but also totally normal.

Devaluing your spouse by bringing up how much you earn, not cool.

Pokedot

I'm probably more like some of the DH's on this board than my own DH. Everynight we have a routine. I clean up dinner, get ready for the next day, he gives DS a bath and I put DS to bed. DH then cleans the kitchen up, gets his crap ready for the next day and scoops cat turds <-I haven't done this since I was pregnant, glorious! On weekends he's the first to throw in laundry.

I hit the lottery with this guy. Seriously and I totally take advantage I know. So maybe that's my FFFC. I take advantage of my husband. Not intentionally but when the TV calls my name over dishes, TV wins every.damn.time. I'm a horrible wife.

Thank you, @joycemama!

Also, while I was at lunch I started thinking and wanted to clarify something for @tinyhumantoe. I hope you didn't think I was trying to one up you with the shitty situation you're in with DD having croup and being fussy and sick feeling. I wasn't at all. I feel like I was commiserating, but maybe that wasn't the best time to bitch about what I'm going through with DS. Croup is shitty and I hope you know I have genuine concern for your poor girlie and you!!

Can I have the opposite complaint? I actually picked a fight with DH last weekend because *I WANTED TO DO THE VACUUMING AND HE COULD WATCH THE BABY.* and it wasn't fair that he always got to do the housework on the weekends because maybe that's what I wanted to do and he should ask me first.
