I have lost a little bit of respect for my best friend after seeing her photos of her 6 month old in a restaurant with them eating an entire bowl of ice cream to herself plus then being given all the after dinner chocolates that arrived with the bill.
This is totally random and isn't flame worthy, but I've been wanting to share that when any of you pumping moms talk about using coconut oil before pumping, I always picture it being in a can (like Pam cooking spray) and you spraying your boobs! Hahaha!
Like I said, random, but needed to get it off my chest.

LO keeps leaking through his diapers overnight, soaking his jammies, sleep sack and crib sheet. Yesterday I got him cleaned up and thought I'd come back to change the crib sheet, but forgot. I totally put him down for a nap on the pee sheet and didn't realize until I went to get him from his nap!
I'm a flaming asshole and refuse to lovetit someone's cute baby or beautiful wedding dress, etc, if the absolute only time I have ever seen their SN is AWing. This is not for people who only post every couple weeks or whatever, but if you have nothing to say other than "Tiddlywink cake smashing on his 6 month birthday, OMG!!!!!1!!!eleventy!!", IDGAF!
And I want to second @LuckySquare 's observation last week about the 2 people who start like two new threads a day but contribute nowhere else. It's obnoxious.
I didn't make or even buy my son a Halloween costume. I know my MIL totally judges me for it because OMG it's his first Halloween!!!!!!! But we don't really have plans and he won't care She made it a point to tell me every single detail of how she made my husbands first Halloween costume when he was 4 months old and I was like... Cool.
I have no problem setting mouse traps but I can't empty them if I catch one. I have an old set of bbq tongs I use to throw the whole trap away or I wait until DH to get home/up to take care of it. I always think the mouse isn't all the way dead and is going to move. Ewww. Living in the country is great except in the fall when the mice move to warm places. Gag. I hate mice.
You're better than me. I'm usually not a girlie girl and can deal with most things on my own, but DH is in charge of mice. I guess I would do it if I had to, but I would be flipping out the whole time

Lucky, where you at? And how you doinnnnn'?
So much this!! I don't even go here that often and it bothers me! To be honest, I'm surprised those threads still get so many good responses.

I can't reply or post on anything other than my laptop so I post when I'm on here but I read almost everything on my tablet. I'm a creepy stalker.. sorry. Also, I learned how to put pictures in posts. Maybe sometime next year I'll learn how to GIF
FFFC is that I feel really good when people thank me for being a "military spouse". I know it seems selfish but I gave up a really promising career, my first house and being close to my family to be with DH. Yes, I knew what I was doing but not being with DH wasn't an option. I'm not one of those spouses that is like I AM IN THE MILITARY TOOOOO.. its just a nice pick me up.

This! Except I refuse to set the traps because I know DH will use it against me. Haha!
I opened a drawer in my kitchen two days ago and a mouse freaking jumped out. I am totally wigged out! I used it to my advantage, ie wouldn't cook dinner.
Also! I feel slightly guilty of only posting pictures and not contributing... Mostly because by the time I read a thread anything useful I have to say has already been said.
I really dont understand the half birthday thing. grownups dont celebrate it so why should children??? There are enough holidays for pictures and cute outfits!!!

Same. I usually only have time to bump at night, or first thing in the morning. Most of the threads are full of great answers by the time I see them. I feel weird commenting, when they have already been answered. Sorry if I seem creepy!
My husband is a Marine, I've never called myself a military souse, or Marine wife. I don't like being thanked for being a military spouse because I didn't sign my life away to serve my county, I don't to anything to be thanked for. I support my husband as I'm sure every other wife does. Lots of spouses give up things for one another military or not. But maybe I'm just a special snowflake.
Fffc- i hate pie. All kinds of pie. Especially cherry pie. But it's my husbands favorite, he makes it often and I eat it because he's so proud of himself. I also started this lie when first started dating. I was dumb and 17, now I can't go back.
I don't do mice either...a mouse made its way to the middle of the living room once in a trap and died. I really did try to get it out of the house, used a broom and everything but I just couldn't. So I put a paper towel over it until DH got home. He paid me back. I came home from work a few days later and there was a paper towel covering something in about the same spot. DH said that the cat hacked up a hair ball and he was grossed out and couldn't clean it up!
I have really bad gas today but for all anyone knows around here is the "dog" got into something. And I hate pie too. The only two times I've had mice I caught them myself (with help from the cat) and let them free outside. They're kinda cute, they don't know they're dirty. Spiders and scorpions have to and WILL die up in here though.
You guys are going to give me nightmares with all of this mouse talk! If we ever get one, I'm staying in a hotel until it's gone. We had some animal that got in our walls and of course the first night I heard it, DH was out of town. It sounded like it was in his closet and our dog kept sniffing the door. He told me to open the closet to make myself feel better. I didn't want to know what I'd find, so I slept in another room. I'm pretty sure it was a chipmunk we had hanging around the backyard because the animal eventually died in the walls and I never saw the chipmunk again.
I hate and am scared of all mice except cartoon ones who speak and wear clothes. I dislike them so much I'm probably going to skip ds1's toddler group next week when they are the theme. I'm good with spiders, snakes, and other bugs or slimy things though.
My dog shook a chipmunk to death and left it on the deck. I had just gotten a new phone so I put the little guy in the box. The ground was too hard to dig a hole so I thought, like any other person would, why am I burying this chipmunk? So I threw the box over the fence to the woods. I told this to my husband and he was all,"but if you mail back the UPC code you get a $50 rebate!!!" And climbed the fence to get the box, and the chipmunk just got tossed in the woods. Poor little guy, I was SO mad.
Another time a chipmunk got a huge nut of some kind stuck in his mouth and went insane (it could have been toxic) and ran in circles in my garage. I caught him and pulled this thing out with tweezers and helped him crawl back into his hole. His hole went under my stoop and ultimately caved it in, but basically I love animals and have so many stupid stories just like these and I probably sound insane.

I have mixed feelings about this one. You obviously didn't agree to serve in the military yourself, but as the wife of a marine you no doubt have (or will) sacrifice quite a bit. I agree with pp that I am so proud when someone, especially DH, thanks me for my support as a mil spouse. No, I've never served, but I gave up my career, and moved far from family and friends. DH was deployed when my DD was born, and I had to endure scary NICU visits and new parent frustrations alone. I've gotten used to relocating my kids frequently often with very little notice to many unwanted locations. Also, as rank increases, so do the ridiculously long hours. My DH hasn't seen our kids in 2 days! I can't begin to compare my experience with anyone who has served, but I do think we deserve a little credit, too!
My husband has an irrational fear of moths, so I act like I can't stand them either so he has to get rid of them. I walk away and laugh every time.
OMG. I always thought I was alone in my fear of moths. also, you're mean!! :-S
It's the little ones! I've seen those big ones in Texas, even in scared but I can't help myself. I know I'm awful. He will appreciate that he's not alone in his fear though!

Stuck in box
I just don't feel that my sacrifices differ from other spouses, obviously most people don't deal with deployments but I don't see it like that. My husband deserve the thanks, and as my husband he should thank me for supporting him, But Pam at the local Kroger should not be thanking me for supporting my husband. I am just a wife, I'm hunters wife. I am not a Marine wife, or a military wife. My name is Shelby, I'm married to hunter who happens to be a Marine. I see it that many spouses move because their husband and/or wife has to relocate for a job, that's not a special thing that only families of service members endure. Deployments aside, spouses travel for work, miss days or weeks and special events with their kids. There isn't much difference day to day. I would support my husband the exact same way if he was a teacher or a plumber or whatever he chose, no one thanks the spouse of a teacher now do they.
I don't start many posts but usually just comment or like some randomly when I feel that I actually have something to say. I also feel like a creepy stalker as I did used to post a bit while pregnant, but was on mat leave for 4 months and forgot my username and pw but would just read posts because I was too lazy to try to figure it out. Also I love looking at all the baby pics but never share mine as I don't like sharing with "strangers".
Sorry guise apparently I am kind of a lurking creeper that only occasionally shares...but I have been around since I got my BFP last August and before that lurking on other boards.

Yup. Or by the time I get to posting on a long thread the thing that was the hot topic is no longer being discussed....so.....three pages later let me say something that is no longer relevant. Then I'd get flamed.
I find it odd that people thank military spouses. This has never happened to me, like ever. I did used to get a kick out of the looks people gave me when they would ask what my SO did. I used to get some sad looks when I'd tell people he was in the Navy. I would giggle about it with my friends later.

Whenever my DH gets on top of me and starts grinding because he's horny, I just silently roll my eyes when he leans down and starts kissing my neck. It's not out of a lack of love for him, I just have absolutely NO sex drive anymore. I mean, even romance novels aren't doing anything for me. I feel kind of bad for him when he goes to take care of himself in the shower, but... honestly, I can't even fake it. Sex is the absolute last thing on my mind anymore!

I feel for ya. I finally got a little bit of sex drive back,but IMO, if dh wants it that bad, eh damn well better make sure he gets me interested. Hopping on and grinding would not do it for me, but then again neither did him randomly walking over to me and putting his boner in my face. After being turned down waaaay too many times, he's getting the hint.
I waited like 3 days to call the ped on what appeared to be a possible infection in C's belly button; luckily it's not too bad and we just need to put neosporin on it but I still feel bad :-(
@edoliesmom I also let my nails grow to long, I know it's been too long when I can't type
UO: I don't mind when people thank me for being a military spouse. I don't see them as personally thanking me for anything I've done. I see it more as a respect thing. Military service is similar to everyday jobs but there are things/situations that are incomparable.

It's because spouses serve too. :-q
I am not like that at all which is why this was a fffc. A lot of spouses are like look at me my lifes so hard. I don't own a single Air Force wife anything or have any bumper stickers on my car. I don't identify as a military spouse, which is why I put it in quotes. I also don't feel like people SHOULD be thanking me, it's just nice that occasionally they do.
