Oh, and also, Owen got sent home from school yesterday with a write-up for fighting at recess. I asked him what happened and he said, "They were being motherfuckers. I had to avenge myself."

I mean, how can you even keep a straight face when your 9 year old says that? MOTY.

Well shit, can't blame him. Motherfuckers, eh? ) awesome!

I have no idea where he would hear such a word. My language is super clean. )

Honestly, I probably would plan a big party each year for my kids if I had any family that would bother to come. But since my entire family sucks at life, we can't do that.

I have only been away from a Ty for maybe a total of 5 hours in his life...
I hope I'm not creating a separation anxiety monster.

Dh has the opportunity to pick up another extra duty that would triple what he brings home each month. It makes perfect sense to pick it up because we could be debt free in months, however it means he would rarely be home for anything other than sleep. I feel so much guilt right now because part of me doesn't want him to do it just because I feel he'll never see us. I know I'm being selfish and I need to just get over it, but I'm having a tough time doing that.

There's nothing wrong with preferring to see you husband over having extra cash. No guilt needed.

I've been away from DD for less than an hour and a half total. So you aren't in the boat alone.

When we get into the birthday planning frenzy, I'll start a check-in for us cupcake, pic, and snuggles slackers. Stay strong, ladies.

Okay I'm with you! I don't feel so badly now that I'm not the only one, thanks ladies @Valstulas @Asbromle I am still debating doing it because we have family that will come but snuggles are so much more delicious.

I'm not opposed to cake smashes...I think it could be cute, esp if DS's cheeks stay at their current voluminous size

emmanemm

And for a lighter fffc: I'm trying to give up added sugar. But I devoured a dozen donut holes for breakfast this morning. I regret nothing.....yet.

I decided this week that I am not going to participate in October '14 anymore, partially because I already waste too much time online, but to be honest, it was mostly because of one poster who was really active and popular, but rubbed me the wrong way every time. We already butted heads once, and I feel like staying there was just creating unnecessary drama in my life.

She lost her baby the other day, and I kinda want to go back, but I feel like I can't because then I will be celebrating her loss or something.

I already have mommy guilt about this...but I am not looking forward to planning DS's first birthday party. Like, at all. I'm kinda dreading it. Invites, themes, decorations, food. I'm exhausted thinking about it. It feels like a glorified photo opp that he will not remember nor care about.

I would much rather stay home all day and snuggle, and give him a cupcake to smash up. But I feel this pressure to host a bash or I'm a bad mom.

Not a bad mom. You could cuddle all day, then host a small bday dinner for him? Best of both worlds.

I am super over breast feeding. Mike wants to only sleep on a boob for naps like 50% of the time he's not at daycare, where by the way it's hit or miss as to whether he sleeps.

I can't take this shit anymore. I just want to be able to feed him cows milk. Him sleeping on a boob is driving me insane.

I'm with you mama! Along with only getting 6 oz total in 3 pumping sessions while at work. It's exhausting.

TheLittleRedM

@etoille I feel you. Noah will only take naps for me if he gets to stay on the boob. I love that I'm that sort of comfort or whatever but I'm so sick of feeling like a pacifier (some days are worse than others). Part of me can't wait until he weans so I don't have to do this all the time but that part of me makes me feel so incredibly ungrateful. If he would learn and accept napping off the boob, this would all be a different story.

I definitely hear you on this one.  I feel really guilty when I hear about others going all out.  We will probably just do something small with family.  I keep telling myself that all DS is going to care about is spending time with us and his first bite of birthday cake!

@valstulas I would of high fived my kid if he said that.... after setting up punishment hahaha! Oh and using the word "avenge" at 9 years old, that gets a bowl of ice cream. 

My FFFC: Even though me and my DH are having issues right now, I still want another baby. I want my kids no matter what and I don't think that because DH is being a douchcanoe that I shouldn't get to be happy by having my little family. My daughter makes me infinitely happy and the truth is even if I wasn't with my DH, I would be fine because I have her. 

Oh and I haven't worked out in 2 weeks and have been eating crap. I feel down and have lost some motivation. I need a pick me up.

Bump burp.

I feel like I am going to get kicked out of the moms group I belong to since DD is such an easy baby. Everyone else's baby seems like a terror...they don't STTN, picky eaters, cries all the time. I don't have those problems. I think there are going to say 'just leave'. I don't want to talk about DD and her awesomeness since it could seem like I was rubbing it in their face. So I sit there and play with DD.

To be honest I haven't thought about DD's first birthday at all, that is 5 months away and I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow. We will probably have immediate family over and LO will have a cupcake to smash, I also don't see the point in spending a bunch of money on something she won't remember.

But even though I'm not into the birthday planning, I'm going to do it anyway. I'm probably even going to hire a professional photographer because I feel like if I'm going to go through all that planning and preparation then there damn well better be some good photos of it.

Haha I told H the exact same thing about the photographer. If I'm putting in all of this work, there will be proof of it!

I debated, but decided to do the photos the next weekend with just the three of us. And we'll get her another cupcake. 

I'll ask a family member to take lots at the party. 

This is what we're doing. We're going to have a photographer do a smash cake session in her studio. I'd rather put the money towards the professional pictures(she's had no professional pictures taken at all yet) and just have a low key bday party.

I accidently let my kid CIO the other night.  I was about to start our bedtime routine when DH needed my help with something.  I put DS in his crib for a few minutes.  He was a little cranky, but not really full-blown crying.  All of the sudden I realized he was quiet and looked over and he was out.  He must have been really tired because he's never even come close to doing that before.  I felt really bad that he didn't get to eat before bed and he went to bed upset.  Although I guess he wasn't that hungry because he slept until 4:30.

@pgermain11, I'm sorry things are so rough. Please do not get down on yourself for not working out and eating badly. You're still so close to your loss. Do what you need to get through the day. HUGS!

Thank you. I'm trying to just take it easy, but I really just want to go run off to that island @mermomo5 is talking about

Yea, I think the longest I was away from d.d. was when they took her to get her hearing tested after she was born.

@pgermain11 hugs your way! BTW I think your little girl is absolutely adorable, I love all of your Instagram photos! Also, I apologize if that is weird.

So this morning on my near daily Starbucks run, they had messed up a guy's croissant and gave him a chocolate croissant rather than a regular one.  The chocolate croissant was just sitting there so lonely with no one to claim him (it was clearly not anyone's, plus it was already warmed so I think they would have just thrown it out anyway) that as soon as I got my drink I snatched it up and hightailed it outta there!  sorrynotsorry, it was soooo good.

I am jealous of all you ladies who have been away from your LOs for less than 8 hours...I SO wanted to keep my LO home with me today.  If I could have guaranteed he wouldnt cry during my 90 minute conference call meeting today, I would have kept him home with me!  He went to bed at 5 pm yesterday because he didn't nap well at DC so I barely got to see him yesterday  Looking forward to some snuggles this weekend.

Okay, here's my confession: I think skinny babies are super cute and chubby babies are funny-looking. 

I know this is 100% due to the fact that I have a teeny little peanut, so that's what I think babies are supposed to look like (even though I know that's not true), but I can't get around it! I know chubby babies must be freaking adorable because everyone's always like, "ZOMG, those CHEEKS!!!!1!1!!" But I just can't see it. My mind goes, "Whoa! WTF is wrong with THAT one?!?"

I hope my next baby is a big plump one so I can fully appreciate the entire spectrum of baby adorableness. (Please don't hate me, moms of giants.)

Edit: Oh, and @lizabethann06, ygpm. It's not about Brynne's cheeks.

My Parker is chubby and cute.  Josephine was chubby and cute, nothing wrong with either of them.

I love chunky little cheeks, I've got all the sadz that you think something is "wrong" with my chunksters

 

 

 

I'm not really flaming you, I'm just fucking around.  I know what you mean... you get used to looking at a baby who looks one way and they are yours so clearly they are perfect (duh) and all other babies are no where near as cute as you believe yours to be!

Yesterday I POAS because I SWORE I felt flutters. I'm not pregnant, apparently just crazy.

My baby is a skinny minnie but when I see those sweet baby rolls on others' I just want to nom nom them up!

sparkymcgeee

I can't wrap my head around the fact that there is someone actually body shaming a baby. Have you seen @emandia and her gorgeous baby boy? The cheeks on that baby could be nommed on all day long.

I called in to work today for the first time in forever. I feel kind of guilty. I'm not sick and neither is Everly, but my mom, who watches Ev while I'm at work, is. I don't have any other options for childcare and DH is working today, too, so I didn't really have a choice.

I don't work this weekend, or Monday, and I'm so excited to have a four day weekend! We are definitely going shopping today

Yep @murmaid. Not cool...and FTR, you got it all backwards. The chubby wubbies are adorable! Skinny baby almost sounds like an oxymoron anyways, don't most babies have that adorable baby fat?

Melissa0926432

Yup sorry my chubby baby is adorable!

 

And I think skinny babies are adorable too
