I live near Christmas FL and I am considering mailing my Christmas cards from their post office. They use a special stamp!

For my Christmas cards I take them to the post office at Disney. Thy send them out with a special stamp and each season has a special one. I also hand cancelled all of our wedding invitations at our post office with a stamp that had our wedding date and last name... Way too much time and effort for it, but it looked nice...

That is a good idea! It might also be closer for me to go to Disney.

Thanks for posting this, I was just beating myself up today for not starting LO out in a crib...I was pretty sure all my problems started with the RNP...

My FFFC is that DH and I still havent DTD since having LO. He annoys me in some fashion every single day even the days he works 12 hours and I hardly see him. He's not initiating and I'm usually tired/annoyed so I don't care. We probably need to just to feel reconnected to one another.

And my terrible one for the day.. I love my dogs but sometimes they are so noisy it makes me think about how much easier it would be without them... Then I remember how much I love them. The thought comes up once a week though and makes me feel like sh*t

Me too. I love him, but he has been making lots of extra work lately, and waking up G a lot. I always feel like poo for thinking it. I'm sure this phase will pass. I would never actually act on the thought, but I still feel guilty!

Ha. my FFFC is that I want to act on it. I have a mastiff. He is HUGE at 175# and so much extra work. Granted, we've had him for 3 years and he was a handfull then, but now add a baby to the mix....  Cleaning slobber off of a wall and waiting for him to finish taking a drink so I can wipe his mouth has taken its toll. Feel free to flame away, but until you've cared for a mastiff, you really have no idea. I know A will be crawling soon and I cannot stand the idea of her on my floors. I LITERALLY vacuum my downstairs once a day. I find my self getting to mad at him when I know it isn't his fault. That makes me sad.  The dog doesn't realize his size and can be quite rammy which makes me VERY nervous. He is too big and strong for me to walk him so only H can do it. I realize that I made a mistake getting him and I think that is what makes me the saddest. My H is against giving him away. I've already emailed the vet to keep me in mind if they know of anyone. I'm writing a letter (because otherwise its a fight) to my H about this and leaving for the day so he can read it while I'm not home.

Those of you who are having issues with your dog can't top mine... my cat wasn't feeling well this week... probably ate somethings she shouldn't have... but it made me think about her DEATH and how it would be nice!!!! I almost instantly regretted the thought and I love my lil kitty but two plus an infant is a little much, especially when they only wanna play with the toys that make noise at 4am.

I don't know if this is flame worthy or not. For this baby we were Team Green and I truly had no preference for a boy or girl. But for the next one I'm really hoping for a girl. It's one of the reasons we're opting to find out the sex next time, so if it's a boy I have time to "get over it". (Which would really probably take like half a day.)

Of course the only thing that truly matters is that our current and future babies are healthy and happy. And if the next one is a boy I will be excited for DS to have a little brother. And if I wind up being a mom to all boys I will be proud to be their mom.  But if I never have a little girl I will probably be sad for a little while.

Edited for typos

This! Except for being team green. Dads dream about having a son so it is only fair that moms would like a girl. I hope our next one is a girl bc there is SOOO much cuter clothes! And I would love to have a little mini me. But regardless, I'll be completely head over heels in love with them!

I would probably try to have another if I knew it would be a boy. I know I'd be fine if it was a girl too, but I already have one of those! And I love little boy suits and ties... dressing them up like little men is so cute to me! Don't get me wrong, I love dressing up J too, but I'd love to have one of each. Since its not a guarantee, we are one and done!

ETA: This is not our only reason to have just one, it's just a minor contributing factor. We also say we'd have more if we won the lottery.

I did kinda tear up at my ultrasound when we found out we were having a boy. I already had 2 boys and I really wanted a girl. I let myself be sad that it wasn't a girl the rest of the day(I was happy it was a healthy baby though). After that I told myself it just meant James would be super close with his little brother instead of little sister. FI keeps telling me I will want another one in a few years but I am very adament that we are done. Having 4 kids and the last 2 being only 11 months apart is definitely enough for me. 

I guess my FFFC is related in that I've been kinda down the last couple days because I found out all my friends who are pregnant right now are having girls. These were the same friends who were pregnant when I was pregnant with James(DS2). And they all had boys like I did. Yes I have a 10yo SD who treats me like a mom but I didn't meet her till she was 7 so I missed the little girl, getting to dress her up stage. Plus her mom is very much a part of her life and I don't want to take away certain things that should be for her to experience with SD. I guess I really just need to get over the fact that we will not be having another LO so I will not be having my little girl.

Man I miss the best stuff when I'm caring for a sick child.

I know I'm tardy to the party but I was extremely creeped out with those comments but once again I thought I was reading them wrong. Looking back now, not sure how " I want my FIL to die first" can be misinterpreted. Any who. Thanks pampered girl for clearing up the confusion with that awesome post...don't forget to start a thread when you change your name to goldandgravedigger.

I am attempting early potty training. He has had a potty bm everyday for a week. I know he wont be able to control it for a while but why not get him comfortable with the pot?! I am a bit frustrated with babe not being able to amuse himself or not try to play with the keyboard while I read FFFC. Now, I'm done and I will stop being a terrible mother.

wait you're trying to potty train a 5-6 month old?! how do keep him from falling into the toilet even with one of those "kid toilets"? I'm pretty sure S's ass isn't big enough to sit on a toilet let alone poop on one...

Yeah...uh...what??? You realize that potty training a non-walking child is pretty much impossible right???

I don't think she means completely potty training. Just getting him used to the potty so he won't be scared of it later on. Since I'm going to be potty training my 17mo...starting in the next couple weeks because he's showing signs...I plan on getting Alexander at least used to the potty chair. Not necessarily going to the potty on it but making him see its not a bad thing. Figure if I try that I might have both LO's out of diapers sooner.

My cousin did this with her daughter when she was about 8 months old. She would see her make her "poop"face and hover her above the toilet and she did her business so she wasn't actually sitting on the pot.

heh, if I hovered S over a toilet every time she made a "poop" face, I'd be stuck in the bathroom for the rest of her life while she farts up a storm.

I commented on that thread at the time. It just seems like extra pressure on the parent when the child can't make the connection yet.

I'm still trying to teach my dog not to shit in the house. Imagine me trying to identify whose shit it is....wait I still have some puppy pads maybe I can use those for LO.

I had a friend who adopted a child from China and when she went there to get him, she had to stay 2 weeks. She would take her son to the park, and all the little babies there had on basically leggings with an open crotch...no anything. They did tell her that most babies are potty trained by 12 months because of it. Personally, I'm old school, and won't start potty training until 2-2.9 years. Both my older kids were potty trained right before 3. From my experiences and those of friends, trying much younger just leads to a lot of tension and frustration. I'd rather wait until my kid is ready, and I can do it in a week, versus stressing over it for 6 months just to be done with diapers 6 months earlier. I guess my FFFC is that I don't worry about these developmental things now that I have my third.

:: puts on bitch cat suit:: Maybe I wasn't clear. You can be thankful for whatever the Fuck you want, but don't expect to say crazy out of this world shit , and not be held accountable. I took it easy on you in the first post, but now I'll go full tilt. You sound dumb, backwoods cousin fucking dumb. You complain about the stupidest shit, like not getting food stamps after you quit your job. Someone buying a fucking house for you, and you job being too far by car. I see where you got your screen name. You could've answered , and cleared some shit up. Instead you choose to be passive aggressive, and evasive, I'm not passive just aggressive Btw before you start to "feel sorry for my kid(s)" , she thinks you're dumb too. P.P.S you weren't clever putting together "thankful Thursday" Thanksgiving is still a thing. Edit because it's hard being a bitch via mobile
