We did it in the garage last night while the kids played in the yard, Parker was in his bouncy seat and Josephine was running around the yard... sorry not sorry... it'd been too long.

Wait, did what? Like, did the deed? Haha! Does stale mowed grass and gasoline smell turn you on? :-)

Another FFFC: I sometimes try to love tit my own posts like you can "like" your own status updates on FB. Then I feel like such a loser when I see "You can't react to your own post" pop up at the bottom of my screen. :-/

No...
The kids were outside... I needed to be close to outside in case of catastrophe!

I took DD to get Easter Bunny pics last night. The line was long and it was hot out. I dont think it moved for 10 mins so we left. Went to Carter's instead. When we came out the line moved halfway. I took pics in the garden with a stuffed bunny. Those are DD's pics with the Easter Bunny.

I don't even know what group I'd go with of everybody broke off.

Also, I got ducking Gunther when I took the "who are you" friends quiz. Ducking Gunther.

wrong. it's "article posted by THE lizbeth"

@valstulas‌ I understand why the mom would be upset and that your son did something wrong, but that woman definitely overreacted by calling the police. She should have just got a hold of you or the Mr. and let you guys take care of it. That really pisses me off. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.

So I lve been waiting all week to confess this monster....

I did previously say that I judged moms who gave their kids phones and tablets for in stores. SD was always so calm in stores so j couldn't have imagined it. Ds1 is 2.5 and SO BAD in stores. He slams the seat back into the bucket in the cart and made Nico cry. Then I had to chase him in circles around an aisle four times. Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy. It just got worst from there.

He started escaping at the pedi yesterday and running around the hall. After one lap I sat him down and gave him the phone to watch umizoomi. I will be doing this from now on when he gets ornery. I'm so sorry for judging!!!

jemasa33

Also I leave my TV on all day. Ds1 is obsessed with umizoomi. He learned all if his shapes (including trapezoid, octagon, rectangular prism) and numbers from watching it and practicing at daycare. He plays and we read while it is on. He needs more help with letters so I bought him an educational pre-k dvd box set. It is the lamest thing I have ever seen but he is obsessed.

Sorry @valstulas!

My FFFC: DH was gone all week for work so I was on my own for five nights. He got home in the wee hours of the morning and was saying how much he missed me. I honestly didn't miss him that much. I thought I did about 90% of things around here and I guess I was right. I missed his company and the kids definitely missed him but it was nice to be able to do my own thing after the kids went to bed and not worry about what be wanted to do. I slept like a dream in bed by myself.

@kaylakim
This is how I feel too.  I look forward to the times DH is traveling.  He messes up the routine when he is home. But I do get the bed to myself every night.

@valstulas‌ sorry that happened? Was your son terrified?

sparkymcgeee

Today is Good Friday so I have the day off. DH brought me breakfast in bed. I need to clean today because Easter and DDs birthday is Wednesday. I think DH brought me breakfast because when I got home yesterday the house was pretty trashed even though I asked him to clean up so I could do the deep cleaning. He knew I was annoyed.

Was I not allowed to talk about breakfast in bed because food?

I have yet to change the filter on the Nose Frida. In my defense, snot has never even gotten close to it and now I'm annoyed that I bought replacement filters.

When I lived in a high rise years ago I could see straight into an apartment across the street and they never closed their blinds. So I made up an entire story about who they were and had it continue on depending in what I could see them doing. I lived alone in a new city and I was bored so it entertained me. Last night our neighbours across the street had guests arriving quite late at night and DH and I stood in the front window watching and trying to guess who they were. I will find out today in sure who was right because unlike before I know these neighbours but it was still fun to play this game even if it kind of makes us odd.

Hauck on Scandal does this. Any Scandal peeps??

Honestly, more annoying to me than anything right now are the people complaining that they can't post anything because someone else needs to find their big girl panties.

Have you seen me bitching about the fact that people were pissed about the abortion thread? No. I took my lumps, including some nasty PMs from people I thought were my friends. PMs nasty enough, that had I passed them on to the bump gods, would have ended with people at the minimum getting put on a watch list, if not banned.

Every single person on this board needs to find their big girl panties right now. I said it last week and I will say it again: post what you want, but don't be a twatwaffle about it. Expect sometimes that you are going to get reactions you don't like/anticipate. If you aren't able to handle that fallback, then you either 1) need to keep it to yourself or 2) find your BGP and deal with it. Don't whine like you're the victim. You're the one who put it out there.

Everyone on this board has a trigger. You all know my trigger. Instead of bitching and moaning in posts that are going to pull that trigger, I exit them or don't even open them in the first place. Does that mean that I potentially miss out on some stuff? Yes, but that's my choice to avoid getting upset.

Seriously, you people need to grow up right now, because watching the board the past couple of weeks has been like watching a bunch of catty teenage girlfriends bitching about each other. The meanness, the passive aggressive jabs ("Does that mean I can't post about it since it's food? wink wink nudge nudge" "Here's a  J13 bingo card." etc.), making fun of those with hurt feelings. It's been disgusting to watch and I don't blame those who have taken bump breaks over the last few weeks.

And no, right now, I'm not saying this because I am the mod. Right now, I'm saying this as a J'13er who is watching her friends act like children.

Oh, and @lizabethann06, motherfucking bingo.

I'm sorry you got nasty PM's! That's way out of line. I agree with you on the BGP. Everyone just needs to CTFD.
:-t

Y'all know I've been flamed to a crisp & had some nasty things said (like I was a horrible, neglectful mother). I post as I want & try not to be a dick about it. I didn't realize this whole health check in/food clusterfuck had gotten THAT bad.

JFC people.

Caitable25

@ncchnat‌ I'm sick to my stomach that you would get nasty PMs about that . That's just awful and uncalled for. So sorry you had to deal with that.

karen0477

@valstulas‌ I'm sorry you had to deal with that.....hopefully your son is ok as well as the other child involved.

@ncchnat‌ =D> well said, although I'm sorry you have had to deal with nasty pm's from people.

My FFFC, I feel like a bit of a tool. I go back to work full time in September and have had Allie on the list for the daycare my older kids went to forever. This week I figured I should confirm the hours they're open and I am told they have a 9 hour policy....you can no longer leave your kids for longer than 9 hours!! I need daycare for 9.5-10 hours between my schedule and dh's. I phone a couple of other daycares and find out this is a thing now......crap. I'm going to have to talk to my boss to see about a shorter lunch hour or starting later.....and the job that I really wanted to switch to might be completely out the window now.....

Oh the kid needs some punishment & this whole thing is probably pretty scary. Odds are he won't make that mistake again. However, I do think getting the cops involved for a non-violent issue is over kill. Talking to the parents is a far better option.

Currently can not wait until 12:30 to drop my kids at the sitter. Gonna rock my face off at a concert tonight. And I am sure I will be paid back when suffering from self induced whiplash and a cranky 6yr old that never wants to leave said sitters the next day.

I think when people are accused of having an eating disorder over the internet based on a few comments yeah, things are bad. Unless very overt those are not exactly easy to diagnose even in a clinical setting. It's one thing to be concerned and send a PM to that person and maybe that happened too but the rest of it was very out of line.

I want to say that all I saw was mention of concern that an ED could be fomenting with some of the language etc. I didn't see anyone openly say "X is eating disordered".

It's not out of line, IMHO, to openly state that some of the discussions caused me to side eye. Does that mean I think anyone is messed up? No. It means I noticed something & spoke up.

Let's all CTFD.

flkong

I totally get both sides of the discussion, including the talk about eating disorders. If it hadn't been mentioned, I think it would've been the elephant in the room. Some of the things said definitely raises concerns of body dysmorphia if not ED. Even though, it should be acceptable to promote health and fitness. I'm on a neutral line with this one.

KikiCohen

@ncchnat I'm sorry you had to deal w/ nasty PMs. Totally uncalled for.

FFFC: When DD throws (non-sticky) food onto the floor while eating, I pick it up and put it back on her tray. Our floors are clean (swept multiple times a day and mopped several times a week, we do not wear shoes inside), so I see no harm.

You're right that it was never stated directly, but the way it handled in general was bad...and it just continued to spiral.

If I thought I friend of mine had an ed, I would voice my concern to them privately and not in front of a group of other people. I've been there years ago and was relieved when a close friend pointed out some things to me. I would've been humiliated, defensive and angry had she done it in front of other people.

I see what you are saying, @Mamasighs‌ . Just to be clear my intent was purely general concern & never to humiliate or hurt anyone. I apologize that if my method of talking about the worrisome language I observed hurt anyone.

Everyone is human. Let's hug it out & stop being irrational fools!

PrimRoseMama

I really don't think the bingo cards were meant to be PA. Honestly I thought they were funny & The Liz was making fun of herself.

Deep breaths!

If you really believed someone had an ED why would you mock and attack them? If you thought someone had anorexia and they said "I ate nothing but an egg today" would you really show them a picture of cake and ask them to stop fat shaming you? "Food" for thought heehee

Yes! Thank you! This is exactly why all this bothers me SO much. Thank you for putting it into words.
