I am also not really that put off by the catfish thing. Happens all the damn time. Additionally, I truly do believe that, sooner or later, the crazies ALWAYS out themselves. Always.

Agreed. I have my eye on a couple people here, especially ones that have a maybe not-so-secret history on other boards.

P.S. Cheese all day every day for the win.

Holy hell I just spent way too much time reading that J14 thread! Freaky shit! X_X

This is so me. I just spent something like an hour and a half (at work) glued to my screen. I agree with someone above, too (sorry, my brain is numb from reading posts for 2 hours)--do we have one of these????

I was going to type out a confession earlier about slacking off at work, but changed my mind after realizing it gave too much info about me.

I've lurked around the Knot/Bump/other internet boards long enough to know that this kind of stuff happens all the time. I don't want my ex-DH, my boss, or anyone else I know, to read my posts about work, family, or constipation. I don't want future employers or future anyone's to be able to find me either.

You can participate, just remember to limit the info. You never know who is out there lurking and watching.

@DawnLilly‌ you look AMAZING in that dress.

My fffc: I let my dog lick my oatmeal bowl and spoon clean. About 5 seconds later DS walked over and popped the spoon in his mouth. And I just let him play. Moty right here.

My dogs clean off my son's high chair tray. Quick wipe with a wet-one and good to go. Dogs make life with a toddler so much easier!!!

Same here. Living vacuumes.

I have no clue how I would survive meal time with my toddler without my dogs on clean up duty. My B/SIL have a toddler and two cats (who are useless at clean up duty), and I feel so sorry for them. They actually have to actively clean up all of their kids messes.

Who wants to spend their time like that? When we go on vacation with out the dogs I get the reality of how much of a mess my kid really makes.

This board is ruining me. Im in a local nanny group on fb and these young college girls get on there and start talking about pay. Which is kind of a no-no. They kind of had this holier than Thou, I'm better than you attitude. I came out with full snark toward them and that's not the tone of the group at all. O well, I do feel better, but they make me feel so old.

I'm usually the one that cleans the house. My DH is okay at it, but I'm the main cleaner. I have decided since I do it all the time, am tired of doing it, and feel like total shit, to just let him do it while I lay around watching him do it. I don't feel the least bit guilt.

I've tried this... the problem is I am WAY to OCD about how things get done.. the right way. For instance, the dog peed in her crate the other day due to storms (She is terrified of storms). DH gives her a "bath"... when I notice he didn't get the dog shampoo out.. he says he just rinsed her feet off. WTF?!?

I was going to be so productive today but instead I'm sitting around, eating chocolate chip cookies and reading J14 forums. 

I just want to watch this for hours. And eat all the cookies.

My husband was complaining about me eating out for lunch every day (the money, not the food) so I told him today I would reheat my sandwich from last nights take out (chicken park hero). I purposely burned it, I took a picture and sent it to him so I could go get an In-N-Out cheeseburger. 

*Autocorrect got me but I was already quoted I burned my chicken PARM hero not a chicken park hero.

I'm not an actual Dr.

I know lots of posters think we are all just a bunch of Dr's hanging out on these message boards judging by the type of questions that are asked.

Mine is a MOTY confession I feel like shit for. We went to DS's football game last night. When I grabbed the stroller from the garage it was dirty and dusty. I knew right then I should have taken the hose to it before we left but instead I had DH throw it in the back of the truck. I figured the wind from the drive would blow most of the junk off, then when we got to the game I wiped it down with a towell before I put dd in it. When we got home I noticed she had a little red mark on her leg, but I didn't think much of it. She was fussy and tired and just wanted to sleep. This morning when I undressed her she had a big whelp on her leg with a raised head on it. I just got back from the dr. It's a spider bite. Now she is on antibiotics and I have to watch it really close because we don't know what kind of bite. How could I be so stupid?

I bought a pair of faux uggs today at target even though I'm 31 not 21.

One of my spin regulars asked me how much weight I've "dumped" and told me I was looking great. I told him about 7 lbs but it wasn't on my own choice. I was kind of bummed that I couldn't lose this weight I've been trying to lose before getting pregnant.

There was no way you could have known that she would get a bite from the stroller. Plus, there are about 1000 other places every day where I'm sure she comes into contact with bugs. You can't police them all, or put her in a bubble! You did exactly what a good parent does: noticed something wasn't right and went to the doctor.

Thank you. I know that in my rational mind, and I know she is totally fine. But I still feel responsible. Although DH is feeling the daddy guilt because he had her in the grass and he is the one who put the stroller away. Ugh. I'll feel better once it starts going away.

The J14 catfish drama just kept me entertained while a client kept me waiting for over an hour ! Thanks ladies!

DH and I aren't sharing the due date with people. Our families don't understand babies don't always come on that day. DS was due at the end of January and didn't arrive until mid February, which DH and I had expected the entire pregnancy. Our families made those 2 weeks so stressful. Our Bradley class instructor recommended telling everyone something more vague, like "beginning of May," and we think that's brilliant. 

We are purposely telling everyone "early May" for the arrival of LO, even will be having a repeat c-section April 27th (39 weeks). We considered saying April for a due sate for approximately half a second before realizing that would be a terrible idea.

Why would saying April be bad?

Because with DD I was due January 31st, and by the time I hit 37 weeks I was already getting numerous texts, calls, and facebook messages asking if I had my baby yet. If I can do something to avoid them then I will. People have no filters with pregnant women and mothers.

I don't understand the pestering to see if someone's had their baby yet. It's not like parents are going to keep the birth secret, it'll be announced when it happens! My best friend was 2 weeks past her due date and I think the most I "bothered" her about was checking in to see how she was feeling and if she needed anything. I figured she'd tell me when she was going into labor or when her daughter was born or when they were home from the hospital when she felt like it.

Because "so n so" wants to be privy before anyone else. That way when another person asks "so n so" can day "Oh, I just spoke with her. Nothing yet!" or "She was feeling peekish and tired. I'd be really surprised if it weren't today. I will keep you in the loop."

I HATE these people.

I work with some of these! This is why I'm not sharing!
