Has no one started this yet? Does no one have anything to confess???

I have no idea why people have their LO sleep in their own room from day one. Call me lazy but if I have the option of walking two feet to LOs mini crib or walking 20 feet down the hall, I'm taking the shorter option.

Also, the family Thanksgiving dinner yesterday was fine but IMO the dinner I cooked on Wednesday night was far superior!

I was excited about thanksgiving all week, not for the food, but because I knew I'd have a break from being a mom since it was the first time most family were seeing the baby. Win for me.

I let DH sleep on the couch this AM while I played with the girls. I'm going to be pointing out all weekend how far superior I am to him. I hope it earns me a pedicure and a shopping trip.

Dang I had a couple earlier this week but forgot them... I should start writing them down

I feel I come up with my best ones during the MOTN feedings, which I then forget by daylight...

This is why I bed share. Laziness.

I love my grandmother, but she is crazy and annoying (ex: when I was 5mo pregnant she greeted me with "Heyy, fatty!"). Her birthday was yesterday and I completely forgot to call her! In my defense, I had quite a bit of wine and was busy tracking my baby from family member to family member. So, this morning I called and asked if she got my message. When she said no, I lied that I thought it was weird she changed her outgoing message and read the wrong number back to her. I used baby brain as an excuse for dialing the wrong number and leaving a birthday wish on a random person's answering machine.

I just at breakfast. It's 12:45 and I had pumpkin cheesecake.

Amberleigh23

I ate apple and pumpkin pie for breakfast and told my mil I had to pump when I didn't so I could have a break this am...

EmJ&B

Even tho I hate to hear him cry, I am secretly thrilled when MIL and DH's insane GMA can't calm DS and he needs me

germanpickle

My mom is here from the US and I'm trying really hard to find a way to ask her "how come you are so much better at being a grandma than you ever were as a mom?" Without being a complete bitch.

I've been watching tons of crappy daytime tv during feedings including Kelly and Michael, the view, etc.  I now have a super crush on Michael Strahan. He's so charming in that goofy lisp kinda way. Swoon.

and I missed UO so I will say every time I see the commercial for Black Nativity I want to run my head into a wall. That movie looks horrible.

I still need a haircut.

I have zero pictures printed out yet of DD.

We were watching world war z last night and lo got fussy. I turned him around to watch the TV and he was immediately fuss free. My son loves zombie shows already...parenting fail!

@petdocd parenting WIN. You guise can watch the walking dead together. And WWZ was an awesome movie. I had a panic attack watching it while pregnant thinking of what I would do if that became real life. 4 pets and a newborn. eeeeeeek. Save us Brad!

I don't even have any prints of our expensive wedding photos and we've been married for a year and a half. God knows when I'll get around to baby photos. I am terrible at crap like that.

On that note, it looks like my baby book probably isn't going to get filled out....ever.

The GTKY thread reminded me of one. I make cakes on the side. Whenever a customer asks for a design I don't like, I say I'm booked for that day. Also, if they complain my prices are too high, I recommended them to another baker that they'll totally get what they pay for, and it won't be good.

ashleymarie512

I got snarky with a 9-year-old yesterday at thanksgiving. She's not even family (friend of my nieces) and she and her family were there and I'm not even sure why. They had their two week old baby there. When we walked in I was immediately stressed bc all the kids were running around screaming and it was just overwhelming. My niece asked why LO still had the o2 tubes and I said "so she can breath better" and this kid said "MY baby sister doesn't need help breathing" and I retorted back "well your sister wasn't born two months early now was she". Not my finest moment, but I don't think she caught my sarcasm. DH just shook his head at me...

I don't spend enough time with my cat now that my hands are always full with LO.
We used to snuggle all the time. Now if I pet him 3 times a day it's a lot.
I'm sad and worried that he doesn't feel loved anymore.

Flame me. I deserve it.

1. I -hate- zombie movies/am afraid of them. And I love horror movies and books, just keep the zombies.

2. I've never seen the movie Alien. I'm not a big fan of things that bust out of the human body either.

3. I am petrified right now of SIDS, now that he is 2 months old and lay awake staring at his video monitor most of the night. He hates his bassinet and loves his crib. I'm debating getting the cosleeper, after all, just to move him back into our room. H already refused to try and squeeze the crib in our room.

4. I am having way more crazy dreams PP then I ever did pregnant. Like crazy graphic ones that are so weird that I'm disturbed when I wake up! Between that and staring at the monitor, I don't think I get any restful sleep!

Edit: Sleep deprived mind forgot to put iPad spaces in!

I got my wedding album and prints 2 weeks ago. I was married 3.5 years ago.

You need to talk to someone about that. It's not normal and you shouldn't have to be wracked with worry 24/7.

I need a wife to do all the BS girly stuff around here like filling out stupid baby books and decorating my house. She also needs to buy me stylish clothes because I suck at that too. Basically I am a terrible girl. Thank goodness I had a boy.

Eta: typing is hard.

It's mostly just at night. I definitely will if it gets worse.

My kitchen is still a disaster. Usually I'm a little OCD or maybe a lot bit, but today, IDGAF. What's that DH there's no plate clean for lunch? Wash your fucking own.

I vote in the monthly siggy pic polls even though I:
A- don't have a siggy (other than my ticker) and
B- am almost exclusively mobile bumping, so I almost never see the pictures anyway

I totally eye roll when someone complains about "pass the baby", or "outdated but well meaning advice". Pretty sure I'll be one of those old ladies someday that just want to snuggle with a newborn and remember the days that we are living right now. I look at it like I'm paying it forward for when my babies are all grown and I just want to hold a new baby again.

hartsl01

I bought 2.5 yds of fabric at hobby lobby the other day, it was supposed to be 17.50, the lady wrote down 1.75. It's not my fault they don't have electronic tickets for their fabric and I didn't realize it until I was checking out and my total was much lower than I thought.

I just told my family that if they hold her, they have to keep her for a while. . That was she's not continually jostled around

Same here.  She still sleeps next to me in the rnp and I will sometimes pick up her arm or touch her just to try to get her to move if I can't see her chest rising or hear her breathing.   

I forgot to turn the snuza on and kind of got all panicy when I woke up one day and realized it even though it was fine.

I don't return my shopping cart to the cart corale unless I park right next to it now that I have DS. We live in michigan and I'm not keeping him out in the cold longer than I have to and I'm not going to leave him in the car while I return a cart. I do try to park by the corale and if I don't have LO I always return it.

ME TOO!!!! Sorry, too cold for baby to be out In cold any longer tha. Absolutely necessary. ..... and no way in hell am I leaving baby and toddler unattended in car as I walk through a parking lot. I too try to park by corral.... but when I can't, cart is not returned.

1. I've been married for 9 years...pics are still in negative form (yup, I'm old) and not in a book. 2. Willa will be 20 before I complete her baby book...and I have no printed pics of her either; yet, my MIL insists I print some for my husbands grandma. (Not gonna happen.) 3. I hate zombie anything. I love Brad Pitt, but prob won't see WWZ just based on principle. 4. Along the same lines as zombies...anything fantasy with magic, and vampires...here's looking at you HP and Twilight. 5. IDGAF if people hold my baby. Get over it. 6. I hate all daytime talk shows, well ALL talk shows, and anything that is mass viewed like award shows, reality shows, etc. I can't tell you how many times I told my MIL, "I don't watch that shit" when asked if I had seen...fill in the blank.

Moms who say they don't have time to shower are just lazy. Not feeling like it is another story. I roll my eyes when I hear they haven't showered since (blank)day.

I know how to GIF, but can't remember how to PIP since my last time on TB 5 years ago.  How pathetic is that?

jnsmith85

I unfortunately have one today.

Took LO to the mall with my mom today. Holy fuck. Never again lol.

Well, he was in and out of his carseat the whole time and I didn't strap him back in each time since we were just walking through the mall.

We decide to leave and drive to some other store. We are on the tollway, about 15 minites later I remember I never strapped him back into his seat (

I was in the front seat with my mom, she had to pull into a gas station so I could get in the back seat and get him all buckled. I had a mini panic attack

Major mommy fail. NEVER again!!!

This annoys me because my kid hasn't stopped crying for more than a minute all day today, unless she's stuck to my boob. I left her in her crib crying just so I could brush my teeth and hair.

Yeah, obviously OP does not have a fussy baby that needs to be held every second. If my H were not around, many days I wouldn't get a shower.

norbert5

I have ugly cried almost all day today from exhaustion. I am setting a great example for my girls. I may or may not have called him a craptastic husband and plan to only nurse the baby for the next 24 hours as well.

Agreed. It's 4 pm here and I have had LO in my arms since 730 last night.
It's not laziness. It's being a parent and my son's needs are greater than mine. And it's not lack of trying to put him down. He wakes up everytime within 10 minutes (today it was 4) and I'd rather eat something before I die than shower and be worried he is crying.
I'm glad you have an easier baby @Lhand11 but chill out with your UO...its FFFC day.
