FFFC

happybride 276

Ok. I have a lot of confessions this weeks tried my breast milk (to see if it was good because my son wasn't wanting to take the bottle) and I really liked it.

@twolittlewheels - I am so sorry, but you are not alone. I argued several times a day every day with my H for weeks. He came back from a mancation and was a complete dick. I told him he needed to figure his priorities and it was fine if we (DS and I) were not included. We have gotten better, not back to normal, but better. I still expect more out of him as a father and he still wants me to not be so critical, but at least we are trying to let things go. If you need to vent feel free to PM me.

I'm sorry you are having a rough time as well.  I haven't told him how I feel, but I know he can tell things are getting pretty desperate as well.  I don't want to threaten to leave but maybe that's what he needs to hear to make some changes.  I'm definitely not innocent in the relationship but I'm tired of being the only one who attempts to make things better.  I'm glad you guys are getting better.  @happybride276 Did you ever feel like it would be easier to just separate than try to repair all the damage that's been done?  How did you get past it?

It has been very hard for me, at times, to stay. I was married before and things were impossible and he flat out told me he wouldn't work on our relationship, so I left him. I think it is safe to say that my H and I both have thought leaving would be easier (in the heat of the moment), but we both have agreed that we love each other and want to make it work. I just keep reminding him that his attitude affects our son and that he needs to consider that. I also give him a look now that says the same thing. He will usually calm down after the look which is nice because I can get my point across without him feeling like I am criticizing him. I also use to wait for H to offer to do things for our son. When I considered leaving him I told myself I would not leave and I wouldn't stop trying until our son was older and our debt was paid off. I knew things were heated because we had a newborn. I just tried to let go of my anger and frustration towards him and once I let go he started to. Things are not always easy for us but we know marriage is constant effort and consideration.

I hope all of you with your LO's in the shopping cart are putting their seat in the big basket and not on top of the toddler seat. They can fall off, even if it seems secure. Most manuals specifically say not to do that, as do all the shopping carts I've ever seen. 

Anyways. 

My confession is that I'm starting WW on Sunday so I'm spending the weekend pigging out beforehand. I've been eating pretty much whatever I want since I stopped having HG around 16 weeks. I'm 8 lbs below my pre-preg weight, but I still have 50 lbs I need to lose. 

Mine won't fit in the seat part. I admit I tried it to see if it would since I've seen others at the grocery store with their carseats in that part. I have the Chicco KeyFit 30 and it only fits (more) securely in the big part of the cart. I've only used the cart at the grocery store. Other places, I just take in the stroller. I have learned how to fit stuff in around her and use the bottom part of the cart a lot more. One of the checkout ladies also showed me how you can hang the bags on the cart and not have to put them inside the cart when you leave.

How do you hang the bags? That would be helpful.


We shop at HEB and the carts have those rings that are for drink holders and you can put the bag handles around those. Also the part of the cart that's below where a kid would sit has arches in the design that doesn't meet the top so you can hang stuff from those too. Not sure how to describe that well.

@thedash I found this pic online. You can see the drink holder loops at the top. The arches below that you can't see as well.

I think it's stupid that someone would find a video monitor creepy, I just didn't get why so many people felt that way.

I'm also getting horribly discouraged with my weight loss (doing Slimgenics) and every evening I'm on the verge of going off plan. I want to quit so damn bad but I don't want to look like a failure, especially to my fiance he is so supportive. But holy hell it's so hard not to quit!

And this isn't much of a FFFC but more of a fear... I'm worried I'm pregnant again. Hopefully it's just my BC and hormones regulating but this really feels like pregnancy. I don't want to be that girl that constantly thinks she's knocked up but... I guess we'll wait and see!

I love that you tried and liked your breast milk! I can't muster up the courage. I feel like it's going to be absolutely dishusting.

I have another confession. I gave my husband the silent treatment until he apologized this morning. We never fight but I was livid at him this morning. H invited one of our friends over that was SICK and acted like I was a crazy bitch for making him leave. Then when I told my H that I didn't appreciate him acting that way towards me he continued to be an ass. I didn't speak to him or look at him until he came and apologized. It lasted like 2 hours.That sounds so pathetic!

Thank you! I never thought I would try it. It honestly repulsed me, but my friend told me that some people's BM can turn sour tasting shortly after pumping. He was acting strange so I wondered if it tasted spoiled. It honestly tastes like sweet milk.

When I am really angry at my husband
I ignore him too. I just don't want to yell and I need time to cool down.

I full on punched DH in his sleep last night. He kept stealing the sheets and snoring so crazy that he woke up our LO and after I sweetly caressed, tapped and whispered at him..I worked my way up to screaming his name and NOTHING. I got a "bit" irritated and his arm is probably a "bit" sore today.


Oops?
