I don't really share emotional/personal things on the bump because of a bad experience from last summer. I shared something really hard that had happened (death of BFF) on an HDBD, and not one person read it...or if they did they didn't respond. But the person who posted after me had to put down their dog that week (also terribly hard to go through, not discounting that) and almost every post after that point mentioned the dog. It bummed me out!

I can understand your reasonings on this. I'm sorry about your friend though

My first and best friend growing up was a boy. We are exactly 4 months apart.
Also my favorite cousin (3 months older than I and also a boy!) Got along great! We were the best of friends too!
Girls and boys playing together is not a bad thing. They learn from each other.

Haha I got a little crazy with the title. It was super late what can I say? Sorry bout that! @Lee81 me freaking too! I have been super over using it. I probably loved over 200 things yesterday. What is wrong with me?! Everyone is just so creative/funny/beautiful. Sigh. My FFFC is that we went grocery shopping yesterday and on the way home we stopped at Arby's. Why should we eat anything that we just spent loads of money on? We do this often. No idea why.

ETA: It didn't post what I had written for some reason.

We do this too! Everytime we go grocery shopping we stop for food on the way home. I guess it's because we're tired from shopping so we don't feel like cooking...?

Yes.. I agree. Growing up my brother was the only boy for years. There are 24 grandkids on my mom's side and my brother was the only boy (#2) until grandkid #11 came along. I know they'll get along great and I love that I'll have a niece but out of 6 babies, I was hoping at least 1 more of them would be a boy.

I also avoid mirrors. I try to work on not putting myself down, but it's tough.

I feel sorry for ceiling fans that have to work all night while I sleep. Like it makes nervous/anxious for it to be up there spinning all night. So when we bought our house, I took down the ceiling fan in our room.

When I saw this thread, I was all 

My "eff-eff-eff-see" is that I've been over-using the Love it button and I can't seem to stop. I "Love it" if I agree, or if I do the same thing, or if the post made me laugh, or if the person took the time to answer one of my posts, or if someone replies to something I say or acknowledges my existence. I'm worst in any threads where people are posting pictures of their babies. I start by "Love it"-ing the ones that I actually love. I end up going back and doing all of them as if someone is going to notice that I loved some baby's pictures but not theirs.Also, on threads where the poster is discussing multiple things (like on UO), I spend more time than I should wondering if I should "Love it" if I only love/agree with/laugh at one of their points but not the others. There is something wrong with me. 

I guess my fffc is that I do notice who doesn't love Sawyer's photos, and if you don't love his photos I assume you don't like me or don't think he is cute. It didn't bother me with bump pics, but how could you not think all babies are cute? I like everyone's photo unless I don't like you, I don't know you, or you don't love my pics of sawyer.

#photographicmemoryproblems

My fffc is that I don't like cuddling with my husband, but do like cuddling with my cat/dogs/baby. He makes me hot and he is always pulling my hair.

Exactly what you said about the photos/likes. I always wonder why someone wouldn't like my pic of DD on HDBD or something. I think she is adorable.

@trackgirlparis & @petdocd think both your babies are adorable and I'm pretty sure I "love" your posts. I also feel the same way when I post pics of Joey!

And, @flutterby00 I am so sorry for your loss.

Gatorsgirl731

We are in the Drs office doing a consult for a vasectomy. I just told DH that they had to measure his scrotum today. He's embarrassed. I'm evil!

Flutterby00

Not sure if this is FFFC, but here goes.

Last night I was at my wits end...my LO is sick and fussy and wouldn't sleep - had been trying to put him down since 7:30pm.  He was overeating, but the boob was the only thing to calm him temporarily, so I am sure his tummy hurt him too.  Finally at midnight, I was rocking him in his nursery with him fussing at my boob, when I just started crying uncontrollably. I was so exhausted from nights of not getting any sleep, and lack of support from my HB, and it just rolled out of me.

Max looked up at me, and stopped with his fussing.  He stopped fake nursing.  He was wide eyed and locked eyes with me.  He flashed me a little smile, then continued to hold my gaze until i calmed down.  When I was calm, his little eyes started to shut, and he fell asleep in my arms.  I put him down, and he slept until 6:30am.  It was the first time I had cried in front of him, and the first time I felt such a strong connection and understanding between us.

I guess with HDBD I just look at the pictures and don't read...

Lee81

@flutterby00 I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. That's terrible. I kind of wish we had an "I'm so sorry" or a "That really sucks" button next to our "Love it" one for those sorts of situations where you don't feel like you know a person well enough to comment but you want to show support.

@petdocd and @trackgirlparis I really do think all the babies are adorable. I'm not throwing out pity love it's! Some pictures are better than others, though. Sometimes I want to be able to say "not only do I love your adorable baby, I also love that particularly awesome picture of him/her".

Herefishy87

I have awful road rage! The words that spew out of my mouth are really bad when people cut me off or just piss me off. I'm guilty of doing it even when ds1 is in the truck with me. Yup, he totally said cock bag yesterday after I screamed it at someone. Crap.
Even worst, I fully intend on blaming my brother or husband for any bad words he says in the future. I need a muzzle for driving or a mute button.

I feel bad for the food that gets thrown out so I will purposely eat things at weird times just to not have to throw it away.  Currently eating chicken corn soup for breakfast since we are going away for the weekend and it would have to get thrown out if I didn't eat it.

When my grandmother has left overs at the end of the week she does leftover buffet.  She pretty much puts out whatever was left (and still good) from the prior few days and that is what they have for dinner or lunch.  She hates throwing things out.

Maybe I shouldn't have posted that. It's like I just cheapened my Love it's. Now people will wonder if I actually love their post or if I just felt obligated.

Aww in 3-4 months she'll be all over that thing. And then you'll want to throw it out the window.  Or at YH for buying the.most.annoying.toy.ever.

I love when O wants to watch "The Muppets" I think I enjoy it more than he does and then sing the songs the rest of the day.

Edit: The part where Amy Adams is singing out the rainy window and it ends up being a guy spraying the window with the hose is my favorite part.

All of your babies are freaking adorable! I try my hardest to like the baby photos but I miss posts a lot.  However, if it is a HDBD I just leave general comments about all the babies cause I don't want to miss anyone

taylormarie923

I think I do a much better job of reading books to LO than DH does.  There was an incident where his rendition of Mr. Brown Can Moo put fear into LO's eyes.  I secretly can't wait until LO is old enough to voice his opinion on the matter. 

Although, I will fully admit that DH comes up with better tunes for Pete the Cat.

I'm late to the party and my FFFC has been done. I also don't understand how people can pick and choose what babies they love and which they don't. I mean- they are innocent babies. And I do notice someone will like a baby right under mine or right over mine and they skipped mine. I know who you are !! I would go and 'unlove' their babies picture, but that isn't nice and I'm not an asshat for the most part.

@ElleStaxx I clarified! I don't not love any babies. They're all super cute! I just think some of the pictures are better than others. I want to be able to love them twice. Everyone gets a love it for their adorable baby and some get an extra for an exceptional picture.

tashad18

I have to research or google everything.  If someone asks me a question (no matter how trivial) and I don't know the answer I go straight to Google or other researching methods until I know the answer. 

My second confession is lately I have been DTD all of the time, and I get mad at DH if he isn't in the mood when I  decide to be. LOL  We were in a slump pretty much only doing it to get pregnant, then did it 3 times while pregnant (like once a trimester).

Im guilty of not "loving" everyone's photos but sometimes I check in and don't have time to go through the entire post. I also might not "love it" if I don't recognize the poster.

I'm like this too.  I do get "sad" when a reply I put some thought or effort into gets nothing lol.

But I will say that on my ipad I try to "love" a lot of stuff and it will tell me many times that something went wrong so I usually only "love" posts when I am at work on my work computer even when I love a lot in my head from my ipad...

You're good in my book!! And I also see some people just don't love any pictures. And that's fine. I guess I am with @petdocd when it comes down to it. If I don't have any idea who you are I am not going to love your baby. And LC#s would never get a love. She is the reason we need a dislike button.

I usually love all the babies even if I don't recognize the poster. I don't have to know you to appreciate a picture of your adorable baby. Pretty much the only one I wouldn't love is LC#s and I'm not sure I've noticed her post any pics anyway. I know there have been other asshats whose posts I'd prefer not love on principle but I do not have the amazing memory of a lot of ladies here, so I can't remember who they were.

Oh my goodness. My great grandparents used to do this! They would save like 4 green beans from Monday, a scoop of corn from Tuesday, etc. and then eat it all on Friday!! So weird.

I have to go swimsuit shopping today and I would rather have my toenails ripped out one by one. I fully intend on treating myself to a ridiculously fattening coffee beverage and lunch afterward. There will deft be tears in that dressing room. Can I do some shots before?

Somehow in our sleepy stupor, DH and I DTD at 1:30am. We went to bed at 11pm. It was really hot and I don't remember how it even started, or who even initiated it. First thing I remember is trying to get my pants off.

I once lied big time to get a job.
I was living in Hawaii with H and the contract I was supposed to work on was suddenly cancelled so I was bored and jobless (woe is me).  I submitted an application to a restaurant near our house that was hiring, but since I had no serving experience I fabricated 2 previous restaurants and put down my sister and BFFs phone numbers in case they called for a reference.
The restaurants were "The Meat Stick" and "The Rusty Trombone" they never called (my sister and friend were bummed) and I ended up working there for 4 months before we moved.

 

 

 

OMG!! I just laughed so loud at my desk! That is awesome, I mean, terrible...nope, awesome:)

JLW0504

Another FFFC, I love it when the grandparents are holding Ellie and she's all fussy and crying and literally 2 seconds of me holding her, she's all smiles and giggles:) They get so pissed because "they've been parents before and know how to soothe babies."

chelseyestelle

I haven't exercised at all since giving birth. (Heck, even when I was pregnant it was rare) I want to but I never do. I would rather take a nap instead.
I gained 55 pounds while pregnant and somehow 45 of those just fell off. I had lost 35 pounds by the time we left the hospital. Must have good genes.
The last 10 is driving me nuts though. Guess I'll start working out... Maybe. Someone motivate me!!

I rarely rarely go into the hdbd post, so I apologize that I do not love it your babies! I do go into the random aw posts, though, because those are less overwhelming. Living on the west coast, by the time I check in, we're on page 3 of hdbd and it's just too much, I pretend it didn't happen.

@flutterby00 your first FFFC made me really sad, I'm sorry no one responded! (But I don't go I to hdbd's so I'm innocent on this one!! See above). But I can say that it might be because talking about death of a friend is more uncomfortable, whereas pets are easier. Sorry

And @flutterby00 again, your second one re: your baby calming your tears is so beautiful. I could love it a million times.

ashleymarie512

@trackgirlparis My DH is also not very adventurous and extremely introverted. I go through phases when I get upset for him not wanting to do social things or try anything new. It comes and goes though... My sister and her husband do new exciting things all the time and I do her envious of them. Then there are nights when we order in, watch our shows or basketball and I'm so perfectly content that I don't mind. Depends on my mood I guess. You're not alone

@chelseyestelle we totally do the eating out after groceries too!! In fact, I'm 99% sure well do that tonight lol

To everyone: I love all the babes and don't mean anything when I don't love all posts. I do most of my bumping at work and have an office in a pretty central location and have to be discreet with my "phone playing" when I hear footsteps. Other times my ADD gets the best of me and I forget to go back and continue liking adorbz babe pics. Case in point; started loving all wedding pics and had to stop looking...who knows when I'll finish that post, but I'll try

My FFFC: I've applied for a promotion in another specialized unit and among others, so did one of my friends who's already in that unit. I figured she had it on lock since she's already in there, knows the info and the supervisor likes her. Well, just found out yesterday she didn't even get an interview and I moved forward in the process. The confession is that even though she was upset (crying) yesterday and even some today, I'm relieved that she's out. It's still steep competition and I'm by no means a shoo-in, but glad she's not a candidate.

Oh, and I've had 3 donuts today and it's 10:30....

Tl;dr---DH is boring, I spend a fortune eating out regardless of groceries, beat out friend in promotion process, I'm a fatass fo' lyfe!

Lee81

Another confession- I told my staff that I was closing my office door so I could work on their performance reviews which are due next week and I am not to be disturbed for anything short of a crisis. It's true and all, but I've spent more of the morning bumping than working.
