I'll start.

I have not read 50 Shades of Gray - nor do I ever intend to.

Me neither! The only reason I'm vaguely interested in the movie is because Jamie Dornan is slated to play Christian, but even though I love him, I don't think I can bring myself to spend money to go see it.

Read it; it sucked; not interested in reading any more of the series. Ana is flat and annoying. There is no character development whatsoever. There is really nothing interesting about this book except the sex scenes. It's not well-written at all.

My confession: I know a girl (in real life) that is pregnant and I stalked what would be her BMB yesterday to try to find out if she is on here. Is that weird? I think I am having jealousy issues because I want another baby!

My husband tweaked his back two weeks ago. At first I patted his head and fluffed his pillows and gave him sips of water thru a bendy straw, but after days of him lying in bed moaning like a dying cow (and being no help around the house at all,) my sympathy is g-o-n-e. I'm sorry he's in pain, but I'm not sorry FOR him, since he wouldn't do anything about it. I spent the morning taking him to the chiropractor and he better be on the mend right this second. I'm tired of this shit.

@24ladybug my husband is the SAME way.  He was always a huge breastfeeding advocate and made me feel guilty when I complained.  When he realized how much pumping was interfering with my work, he became more encouraging for me to just nurse when I'm home with LO.  He likes having money and paying our bills and I can't do that if lose my job!  I feel a million times better now that I'm not pumping at work.  It sucks that it has to be so hard, but that's reality.  I hope you find the solution that works for you! 

My confession is that I'm going to a frickin waterpark this weekend for my nephew's bday (indoor) and the last thing I want to do is put on a swimsuit.  So I'm not going to wear one or get in the water.  If anyone asks, I'll say I didn't have time to wax.  Sorry.

@phill027 - So do you send formula to daycare and BF at home? How did you get to that point? I'd LOVE to do that, but I'm afraid it won't work. Pumping is beginning to take up more and more time as my body stops responding to the pump. Its driving me insane.

I feel like I had one yesterday but I can't think of it. So a boring one: I am at home most of the time, but we are going to get someone to come clean the house once a week. I'm not even ashamed. If I could I would have someone come cook, too, but I'm sure that's pushing it. I (mostly) love my time at home, but I don't really want to do anything other than hang out with my kids and relax

I am a SAHM and we still have a cleaning lady come twice a month. My DH insists she comes. Doesn't bother me. I do cook dinner most every night, do laundry, and clean. She just does the good, deep cleaning stuff! More power to ya

smiles21866

My confession is that on days that I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and Alex is having a rough day, I take out the vacuum cleaner and set it in the middle of the living room floor (plugged in and all), take out the pledge with a couple of rags and set it out on our mantle. Then my DH comes home from work and says, "Wow! Thanks for cleaning today!" No prob I totally don't mind cleaning and most times enjoy it. Some days I just can't get it done though.

I should do this... I wonder if MH would be fooled :-?

I confess that I'm eating chocolate chips so that I won't get into my girls' Halloween candy, but I'm not sure it's working!

DH and I got DDs ear pierced yesterday. We love it and we don't regret it. Not one ounce of guilt in this home!

jaime52005

First confession..IDC how poorly 50 shades was written..I'm obsessed! Read it numerous times.
Second..I just ate 6 apple cider donuts..good thing I didn't tell DH I bought them because obviously nothing is left to share.

Guilty.

Same..its my coworker..I'm do jealous..she is due on Ellas due date 1 yr later

The finances thread stirred this one up:

My MIL pays for our cell phones. When H and I started dating, I needed a new plan and she suggested I just jump on theirs since they were grandfathered in with ATT. 6 years later...we still haven't paid for a cell phone bill. Oh and she also pays for H's car insurance, tags and gas. She bought the car from H's brother a few years ago and she didn't really like the way it drove so she essentially gave the car to H and she bought a new one for herself.

 I am so embarrassed to admit this.

Again, if you can afford it, don't apologize!  I love to cook, but we have somebody come clean once a month (I can handle the upkeep in between, but I need help the rest of the time... between working full time, being a mom, trying to take care of myself and our house and everything else, I just need a little help -- nothing wrong with that!

Our cleaners come every week...we have a dog and I dispise vacuuming!! I do a ladies lunch with DD bc I feel guilty when I'm home while they are cleaning!

Cosigned - I didn't even think it was hot, it was so stupid and vapid and badly written.  NOT a turn on.  Although I do enjoy some well written erotica from time to time. ;-)

I think my mom is being very selfish. She wants another baby and is serious about making it happen. Now she's only 37, so she is not in any way too old, 

Excuse my while I go kill myself over the fact that your mother is only a year older than me.


Please don't kill yourself! FWIW, she doesn't act her age. In the least bit. Nor will she probably ever. She also had me at 14, hense the reason it's making you all feel so old. Can you imagine having a 22 year old daughter? Haha

I don't know... does that actually make you feel bad?  I am the same age as her and it makes me feel bad for her mom, not for myself. 

I was just being funny...

I'm afraid that when I have another baby I will 1) not love it as much as my first or 2) not love my first as much as I do now. My logical side knows this is ridiculous but I can't help but to worry about it! 2+tm reassure me, please!

I fear this all the time. I keep thinking, "I will feel so bad when he won't have me to himself anymore. I don't want to put him through that." Then I try to remind myself that every second born child (or later in the birth line) never get their parents to themselves and LO will be just fine.

I know.  I'm just saying.  While at first glance I might say geez, I'm soooo old when I see something like this, then reality sinks in and I realize that I would NEVER want my life to have gone that route and had to deal with all of that then. 

Well right, I would never have wanted to deal with a pregnancy at 14.  Jesus.  I barely knew what sex was when I was 14.  Point being, the fact that there is somebody on this board "of my peers" whose MOTHER is the same age as me, feels a little weird.  Especially because I still think of myself as about 25 years old. ;-)

I didn't bring the diaper bag or an extra pair of clothes today while we were out, he also had yogurt today and yesterday.. guess what happened? Yeah, his first blowout, I mean it was everywhere. Up to his underarms. At least it wasn't diarrhea.. but still.. when he has yogurt he will be confined to the house.

I've done that more than once...

melissad23

I also confess that I have a crapload of stuff i could do around the house - dusting, laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, etc....  Maddie is napping and what am I doing??  Sitting my arse in my favorite chair, watching my DVR'd Grey's from last night.

arschm02

Going off of @melissad23. I always have good intentions of cleaning the house or getting work done when LO is napping. Most of the time I end up relishing in the "me time" doing whatever I damn well please.

Yes! He was in his car seat so all it could do was defy gravity and climb up his back to his underarms. I hope he didn't ruin the $25 brand new amy coe jumpsuit I put him in lmao.

Late confession... DD fell out of Bumbo today. It was on the floor but she still fell on hardwood floors. She didn't cry, just looked back at me with a really surprised look on her face. She at least fell face first and caught herself with her hands. There goes Bumbo as a baby holding device...

@Sol1790 @ehlerss Yes! I knew there had to be other Oncers on here! Do either of you watch the Wonderland spinoff? It's really good too (and has Naveen Andrews as Jafar--yum)!
Sol, I'm 24, and I still watch the Disney versions of the Once characters; if being over 20 and loving Disney and fairy tales is wrong, I don't want to be right!

Is three people enough for a weekly discussion thread on Monday nights?

My confession is that I complain when the FI wants to go out on a Friday night. Mamas tired! Even though I give him a hard time I say he can go with out me( a little place in walking distance if our house) I secretly am glad he went. Gives me some alone time with Ava and then when she goes to bed I get silence for a few hours.

@jthree and @ohsewcrafty, I have an update!  We were traveling this weekend and, while I was waiting for DH to get a bottle ready, I decided to try nursing LO at his normal lunch time because he was not patiently waiting for the bottle.  I had not pumped or nursed during that time for a couple of weeks, but I was able to achieve let-down!  I was super excited.  We still gave him a bottle after and he downed it, but I'm glad to know that I'm capable of giving him some breastmilk during his middle of the day feedings even though I've stopped pumping.  To maintain a little supply during those times, I may nurse him before giving him a bottle on weekends (so that he'll be hungry and hopefully get some of the liquid gold).  Just thought I'd let y'all know!

Fantastic! You seriously give me hope.
