Let's hear it!

I might have called my baby an asshole last night.  He is so sweet but it is brutal when nothing stops the crying.  Oh and DH doesn't believe that this occurs because it only happens when he is not there, which is a good bit these days.

I peed my pants the first day of middle school. I had to go my first class after lunch and I couldn't find the bathroom. I didn't want to be late to class or miss my bus after school, so I just held it. Unfortunately, I was the last stop on the bus route and I had to walk about 1/4 mile to get home. I peed myself walking up the steps of my house. I'm just thankful it happened there and not on the bus.

I've finished work 2 hours early, I haven't told my mum who has LO today... I've drove straight home and jumped into bed for an hour, I'm a bad person.

I may have called my baby a 'little shit' the other night when he slept for 20 mins on my chest and woke up as soon as I put him down. They don't know as long as you say it in a nice voice I guess!

I made my sister pee her pants one day walking home from the bus stop. I always got home before her which meant I had to go through the muddy dog run to get inside while she would just ring the doorbell and I'd let her in. It pissed me off! So... I strategically took a shower one day when she was due to be home and I guess she couldn't reach tje latch on the dog run gate because I foind her next to it crying with wet pants when I finished my shower.

Oh yeah... and I laughed at her. I really hated her growing up, but we're best friends now!

pnwlover reminded me I do have one in the archives that is sad and gross.

So nobody told be about the lovely joy of getting a period.  SO when I was 11 in the 5th grade I woke up one Saturday morning with a ton of blood in my underwear. 

I thought I was dying and I was so upset and scared that I didn't want to tell anyone because then they would take me to the doctor and I would be told that I was going to die.

So I hid all my dirty underwear in a purse in my closet.

A couple of months later they finally gave us the talk at school and I felt so dumb yet so happy to know that I wasn't dying.

I still didn't tell my parents until the next time I got my period (at daycare).

I get overly frustrated with DD too because she only gets super fussy when DH isnt home so she makes me look like a liar.

I have an exact replica of my husband's penis in the form of a vibrator.

MrsSinner402

I find myself being a huge hypocrite when it comes to DH being on dad duty. For example when its just me and DD I find myself getting frustrated and raising my voice and asking "what the fuck do you WANT?!" Just like @SPurp13‌ . But when I see DH do this, it makes me angry and I feel terrible for DD when he does it... so then it makes me feel terrible because I'm watching it from an outside perspective and I see how shitty it is. And then I'm a huge hypocrite.

Whaaaat?!?!?

We got one of those "Clone A Willy" kits and made it one night. No joke, that is what it's called!! It is weird how realistic it looks.

I've done this too. Back when I started bf, I would just cry because it hurt so bad and I'm pretty sure I called DS a name. The next night DH told him to shut up and I was bawling. DH said that he had the right to get frustrated too, but it just seemed different.

This is too familiar.

I've been very adamant about no screen time before 2 years old. I don't even like the TV on while M is awake now because he wants to stare at it and although I know he isn't seeing it clearly nor understanding what it is, I think it's a bad habit to get into because as we all know time flies and soon he will know and will be stealing the remote to put on Disney Channel. However... after he got his shots he was inconsolable and nothing would calm him down. Except (you guessed it) the TV. I took this picture while I was crying on the phone with DH about being a horrible mother because I couldn't stick to my own rules.

bumpuser10309732

In middle school we went through that thing where we couldn't do anything alone. Well I had been really sick and was on a medication that made you nauseated. I thought I was going to throw up and asked my friend if she would go with me because class was about to start and I didn't want to get in trouble. Well she was like no! Go by yourself. So I barfed, somewhat on her. Lol

When I found out that the father of my two oldest kids (my fiancé at the time) cheated on me with one of my best friends, I punched him in the face and broke his nose. 6 years later, we're on good terms, but I still get a sick pleasure seeing that bump on his nose.

lrobi13

@Victoria+james It is such a hard rule to follow.  We are trying to avoid screen time to but the other night LO was fascinated by Wheel of Fortune.  I think it is the lights and colors.  Desperete times call for desperate measures!

DD wants nothing to do with me. She wants to look at all the colors and shapes and lights. She's crying otherwise.

I'll go with something very honest that only my SO knows.
My ex bf cheated on me. A lot.
I didn't know for a long time. I also didn't know that he caught something and gave it to me. Which I then unknowingly gave to SO.
I felt so ashamed and I still feel that way now.
Very embarrassing for me. Pretty big confession in my eyes I guess.

A big confession that totally wasn't your fault in any way at all, don't be ashamed guys can be such assholes!

serenbach

I napped, I guess I should ring my mum now and go get my child...

Edit - SO just rang, he's at my parents house. He finished work early too but did the right thing and went to see our son, now I feel like a bad parent!

Here's a tmi confession

I have peed my pants multiple times post partum. Perhaps I need to do more kegals or perhaps it's a bigger issue. Either way, embarrassing.

silliegirlie143

I was in a total zone the other day and who knows how many feeding sessions had gone by but I realized it had been a while since I'd changed my disposable nursing pads

How did I come to this realization?? LO went to latch on, looked disgusted and pulled away, then went back in to smell me, and began to cry

Love tit for solidarity. I don't even know I need to go until that second and it's hit or miss on if I even get my pants down in time.

Serious FFFC: I didn't have any positive feelings about DS until he was 4 weeks. I still have not felt that overwhelming motherly love toward him. In my mind, he's a 24/7 obligation that has good moments for around 3 hours a day total.

School TMI FFFC: in 4th grade, I sneezed and shit my pants. I told the teacher, who laughed at me and sent me to the office. I told the secretary who laughed at me and called my mom. I told my mom who laughed at me and told me to go commando for the rest of the day.

Here's mine...I love everyone here, and I am so glad that there are lots of LOs that are STTN or sleeping in huge chunks because they are unicorns.  However, I'm tired of reading about it.  I'm fucking exhausted and my child will not sleep for more than three hours for his first stretch at night.  Then after that we are lucky if we get to 1.5 each stretch.

Love tit for solidarity!

Solidarity, sister. I'm in the same boat.

Disclaimer: I am not wishing the following FFFC on ANYONE. (unless that's your jam and then more power to you but...)

my FFFC: I keep checking the board's thread titles to see if someone is already pregnant again.

I felt so much regret about having her almost every day up until a couple weeks ago. I feel ya.

I'm in the same boat. I never had any maternal feelings and still don't. This whole thing is so surreal. Every day I wake up totally overwhelmed that there's still a baby next to me. It's kind of like I'm just watching someone else's kid for a while, and they're going to come back and take him home any day now.

TheOtherJacobsons

I think my husband is a bad kisser. He knows I feel this way and has tried to change it in the past, but there hasn't been any long-term change. I get pissed off sometimes during foreplay because I am like, this is the time to turn me on and it's really turning me off. Jam your tongue in my face when it's your turn to get off. I also feel really shitty for thinking this.

I have not DTD since 2nd tri. 

The last few weeks I have been kind of a dick to DH when he gets home. I just really want a baby break and Tes cries so much when he holds her now and after an hour of trying to ignore it, I end up being a total bitch to him. He does not deserve this. He comes home, never gets upset once even with a crying baby and I do things like get mad at him for not getting a variety of meats when I write meats on the grocery list. I mean, he went grocery shopping after work then cooked dinner and all I could think of was how getting a variety of sausages was like getting only ramen when noodles is on the list. 

He actually just looked at me and said "Sorry" and actually meant it when I hadn't even given him a reason for why I was upset. I asked him what for and he just said that he must have done something to upset me. 

I am actually bawling right now because I am a total asshole.

I don't know how to fix it. I apologize for being a dick and then the next day starts over again.

persephonerose

I originally came to confess that I yelled at my baby "what the fuck do you want" but it seems we are all in that boat right now.

So here is my confession. I think most of you are way too good for your husbands/SO. They should be groveling to keep you.

I have zero qualms about using the TV for entertainment in moderation. Honestly what is the difference if your baby looks at a mobile, a crib soother, one of those projector things or the TV? It's like how I feel like a smug asshole because I read while DH watches TV and then I realize that he's at least sitting up while I'm laying down.

TheOtherJacobsons

On a lighter note, I totally peed my pants in grade school... multiple times.

It was the 3rd grade and I had just started a new school. In computer class I walked to the front and asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom. She said no, so I sat back down. I got up again and asked if I could go and she said no again, and and I had to go so bad that I stood there and peed.

The second time was when we had gone to camp on Catalina Island in the 6th grade. The teacher came around to the cabins and told us not to get out of bed at night otherwise we'd get trampled on by the wild buffalo. I had to pee, but thought, I can hold it till morning... nope. So I took my sleeping bag the next day to the showers to rinse it off. I didn't do a good job at this and so my bunk kind of stunk like pee.

The third time was that same trip... We were going scuba diving and the instructor told us that because we were in special neoprene suits that we shouldn't pee in them otherwise everyone would know. Things were fine the whole trip, but then on the way back I had to pee. I held it until we got our suits off. Then I ran toward the cabins since there wasn't a bathroom at the dock. I knew I wasn't going to make it, so I ran to a shed and dropped trow behind it... I was not skilled at peeing in the wilderness, so I ended up peeing all over my shoes. Which I then hung from the bunk to dry.

During that trip, one of the other girls came over to me to tell me that her older sister peed the bed until she was 14 and not to be embarrassed... I could not explain enough that I really didn't have that problem. She sort of sympathetically looked at me like I was lying because of embarrassment. Ugh. Worst trip ever.

Having a baby changes so much in the relationship dynamic at first. It took us about 6 months for it to even out and get back to normal. Tensions are high and frustrations are abundant. I remember one fight I had with H that resulted in me taking a pee diaper all bundled up and throwing it at him I was so mad. Things will get better.

bumpuser10309732

@TheOtherJacobsons‌ ((hugs)) I feel like if you just keep open communication with DH and tell him those things and that you realize how you sound and you can't control it he'll understand because he's one of the good ones and he loves you

This is our house, too. But I justify my reactions because I yell things like WTF do you want and Give me a fucking break after he's been screaming for an hour after I've tried everything. Whereas H screams Shut Up after less than 5 minutes.

I get so annoyed by the no juice for toddlers thing. I understand sugar is bad for kids. And I'm certainly not buying Sunny D and giving it to DD. But JC, we brush her teeth 2x a day and 8oz of 100% apple juice per day isn't going to make my toddler obese.

There are so many fucking "rules" for having kids now. As long as my daughter isn't hogging down soda (she has never had soda btw) and eating doritos everyday, the apple juice won't kill her.

*gasp* you give your kid sugar?! I totally agree with you. My brother and SIL are those spastic people. I gave my nephew a chip and she was like, is that baked? Nope! Just regular Ole delicious and fried! This is the brother that would give our niece and nephew whole candy bars. They told me at least he won't have any heart problems later. Wtf? Just because you keep him from eating all the crap, doesn't mean he won't later. Especially when you eat it and don't let him.
