FFFC... H keeps saying "oh man I was up with you guys all night too" when I am right next to him watching him sleep all night while I'm feeding the baby.
So sometimes I let Remy scream right next to H's head before I settle him down.
This is me exactly. How can you be up when I am clearly listening to you snore? I plot smothering my husband several times a night.
And even when baby isn't totally needing to get up, I hit him and just say "your turn" out of spite. Then I'm pissed when she's all cute. Having a baby has made me act like a 12 year old.
DH is primary cook in our house. If I cook, it's tacos or macncheese. When it's my turn I pretend like I don't know what I'm doing bc he can't stand when I do things like not preheating the oven, adding before boil, cube instead of dice. He will always take over. No regrets!
Having read this, I am now fairly sure that the roles in my household are reversed, and that DH uses this tactic on me.

My mom is coming down for a visit this weekend and offered to watch the girls so DH and I could do something just the two of us. When I told DH and suggested dinner or a movie he said "let's go to the gym together"... I almost murdered him with my eyes. I think he got my point but now I think we are not going to do anything together because he still really wants to go work out. He knows I think he is being a giant douce canoe :-w

It's so embarrassing I haven't told anyone but here it goes. Yesterday I bought the Sally Hansen hair removal kit & got this ugly chemical burn on my upper lip it hurts so bad I have like this ugly red mustache & some of my skin even peeled any of you ladies ever experienced this? How did you take care of it? Word of advise don't ever buy that product!!

That doesn't happen to everyone. Did you do a skin test 24 hours prior? It even says so on the bottle. Also, it's got bleach so you have to be careful. You can't leave it on too long. I've used it and remove it when it gets uncomfortable. I've never had burns.
Eta: I'd pick up some burn ointment. That should help with the discomfort and reduce redness.
Yes I tried it and nothing happened & I'm going to run & buy some ointment ASAP thank you
I'm jealous of DH because of his parents. They've already seen our baby a bunch of times and call to check on her a few times a week. His mom even stayed with me for a week to help out my first week after DH went back to work. My parents on the other hand haven't even seen her yet and she's almost six weeks old. My mom may not come til march and my dad wants me to drive up north to see him instead of coming down here- it's a 9 hr drive. Anyway - I'm just being emotional about it today cause it seems like they don't care very much
4 weeks pp and I'm still using the peri bottle every time I go to the bathroom. I love the clean feeling and may never give it up! I asked DH for a bidet when I got too big to wipe myself correctly in the 3rd trimester. He told me that he would install a bidet toilet seat but it's like $600. I'm so fickle but that clean feeling is totally worth it.
I drink but have friends and family who don't. All of them are mostly religious reasons (I'm Catholic so clearly they are a different denomination than me!) and my grandma has never drank because she was raised by an alcoholic mom after her father died when she was 5 and was scared she'd become one. I'd imagine that's not too uncommon. Interestingly, she married an alcoholic though who owned a bar.
I never would have thought this would be a FFFC.....But, I guess it is....
I don't drink. Not at all. And probably never will.....
(unless I'm sick at which point it is a little moonshine or jack daniels to stop the coughing....)
Add me to the list...I have had exactly 4 drinks in my life. a hard lemonade, a fruity margarita, a peach Bellini, and some nasty wine that a friend had at their wedding... I only finished the Margarita ( on my 21st birthday). The others were nasty and I didn't care to have more than a taste. My faith and convictions have a lot to do with my decision to not continue exploring other alcoholic beverage, and honestly the smell of alcoholic drinks makes my stomach wrench. My husband doesnt drink at all because his dad, his uncle and his grandpas on both sides were alcoholics and he loathes what it did to his family. No judgment from me though to people who choose to partake.... as long it's being done responsibly :-)
I ate an entire box of Little Debbie Valentine Hearts snack cakes in about 24hrs. So the pp diet is going GREAT.
The last like 3 times I've been to the store I literally stood there and stared at them for like 5 minutes trying to talk myself out of buying a box. It's worked so far but I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out!
My real fffc... DS1 has been running a fever since last night, but for the most part you would never guess because he has been acting normal... actually netter than normal because he is just content to lay around and watch movies instead of roaming the house looking for thinks to get into. While H was home for lunch DS's temp had spiked a little and he was ready for nap so he was super winey and clingy. H assumed that the whole day had been like that and offered to bring home dinner and take over the care of the babies whn he gets home from work so I could take a hot bubble bath tonight. I totally went with it.
I'm assuming she was joking. My husband says "never trust a man who won't have a drink with you" and he's obviously kidding. But maybe she means people who don't drink are really uptight and can't take a joke? Do you drink?

Diaper sprayer! I mean, if you don't care if the water is a little chilly. And you can install it yourself!

That's the second time in 24 hrs that someone has called me uptight on this board. Not sure what is did, but I feel like people misread my comments with a judgy mcjudgerson tone and I don't mean them that way... I'm not going to apologize for what I think. Call me uptight if you want I really don't care, I just don't get it.
And btw, reading comprehension fail on your part since I just said a couple posts up that I drink...

LOL You are really doing a lot to change my mind about the uptight thing.
Again, I WAS JOKING. You might not be uptight but you can't take a fucking joke to save your life.
I dont understand people who have never drank. Why?
In no particular order: #1 Alcohol is an acquired taste - excepting the yummy fruity drinks which you can get virgin - so I would have to drink something I didn't enjoy until I got used to it and that isn't an incentive for me #2 From what I understand, the really good stuff is expensive #3 My mother often drank too much and I really hated being around her when she was drunk. She also destroyed her liver and will be on medication for the rest of her life. #4 Alcohol has calories which I'd rather spend on food #5 Being inebriated affects judgement and I really didn't want to make any mistakes I would regret that I could've avoided had I been sober #6 I never have to worry about unintentionally driving while drunk #7 I never worried when I went to college parties that I would be raped because I passed out
The only reasons I could think of to drink was to be able to be a BAMF and chug a whiskey like the cool people do in movies, and to relax in social situations (which would be helpful since I'm an introvert).
These two pros weren't enough to counteract the seven cons for me. I'm sure there are more pros and cons for this; these are just the ones I could think of listing.
FFFC: I went back to work this week. But I work from home. So it was really like extended maternity leave this week plus responding to emails. I took a conference call laying on the floor of the nursery while B had tummy time. Best conference call ever.
From a girl who was raped at a party once, that's a fucked up thing to say sammichcat.
Eta: please come back and tell me it was my own fucking fault. Pretty please!
I don't understand why it was was bad to say? It was something I was truly worried about when I went to college. I would never say it was your fault or anyone's fault they got raped. I'm very sorry.
I read it like you were saying that if girls raped at parties hadn't been drunk they wouldn't have been raped. Which translates to it being their fault.

1. A rapist can slip something in any drink. It doesn't have to be alcohol. 2. You can still be in a drunk driving accident even if you've not had a drop to drink. 3. Liquor doesn't have calories 4. You don't have to "get used to a drink" if you don't like then try something else. I hate the taste of whiskey but I can drink the hell out of tequila. I hate dark beer but I can drink mich. ultra any day.

lol, this happened to me. Sadly, I had no choice but to just wait and let it heal. I got a lot of weird looks. Sorry that happened to you... ETA: maybe try some aloe?
Let baby girl fuss for a few minutes in the crib this morning so mommy and daddy could finish "our taxes". Really dumb name for the deed we've been calling it all week around the kids.
This is absolutely hysterical to me!!! I could see my husband and I doing this. Haha
We bake a lot of cupcakes in our house pre baby anyway.

This is what I was thinking. I also wasn't drunk. I took a drink of a female friends soda and was date raped. She knew it was in there. Nothing to do with alcohol. Nice stereotype.
I'm a selfish bitch when it comes to my baby. Totally dreading going to see my grandparents tomorrow who never had any interest in me until I popped out a baby. I wish I was breastfeeding not pumping just so id have the excuse to take baby with me to feed.

I totally went with it.
I know people who really feel this way.
Actually I had a mojito with lunch and it was delicious.
Fwiw I didn't know it was a joke because I know people who don't trust people who don't drink, which I don't get.
