FFFC 7/29

I think the date is the 29th. And I'm fairly certain it is Friday. I'm too tired to check.

Lol I just got off the phone with my mom and she mentioned it was Friday and I'm like "holy crap". 


My confession isn't gonna be much of a surprise since I don't stop talking about it but..  I am really starting to hate breastfeeding.  I get so swollen at night and soak through my pads, bra and shirt and I'm sore when DS tries to eat at that point.  I've put so much time, energy and money into making breastfeeding more enjoyable and all I've done is create high expectations that I feel like I'll never reach.  So my reaction every time DS needs to eat? "Ugh not again!"

I've had similar thoughts! 'i just fed you! How can you be hungry again!!!"

My FFFC is this baby is making me far more selfish about standing up for myself and my needs. And I don't care who is bothered by it. I'm tired of people putting every one else's needs in front on mine (outside my husband who is my rock) and I'm standing up and finally being assertive. And I feel amazing for it. I think having a daughter made me realize that I wanted and needed to be a strong role model for her.

Ironic that i am talking about being assertive and standing up for my needs and I've got this tiny baby dictating my whole life right now.

I've started applying for possible jobs that are not work from home positions. It would be financially beneficial, but I secretly hope I don't find anything till at least the end of the year. I don't really want my two youngest in childcare

I call my self the bitter breastfeeder I won't give up because I'm too stubborn and can't fathom not doing it for her after I made it over a year with her bother. But yes I bitch about what I can't eat/drink or do because of it daily poor DH.

(Vintagevix86 here...I have no idea what happened to my account soooo I'm using this one now...sorry for the confusion!)

Right there with ya, I don't plan to stop breastfeeding since I know the benefits and blah blah blah but maaaan do I miss having some sort of independence. I know it will get a little easier once my husband is able to share in the feedings via bottle but until that happens, I feel kinda....trapped. On the flipside, I do enjoy the closeness I feel with my son during our nursing sessions, when he gazes up at me with those gorgeous eyes...gah, I could melt.

FFFC: I side eye a lot of people now a days. I feel extra judgey lately. Fatigue induced perhaps. Or Im just extra sensitive to bullshit. But, my SIL is getting the brunt of it and mostly over parenting skills. I know we arent supposed to mommy shame, and I dont feel like it is mommy shaming. It is more of acknowledging the fact that she uses no discipline or boundaries and then wonders why her kid is out of control. Blames it on things like "he didnt get a nap in today". Right, because you were too concerned with meeting up with friends to hang out, so you didnt give him a nap. And now he is a terror and you keep "threatening him" that he is going to be in trouble but never follow through. Also, not sure what you are doing with potty training, but when your kid demands "Mom, put a diaper on me RIGHT NOW", proceeds to immediately poop in said diaper, and then states "Im done now clean me up" I think maybe you should revisit your potty training technique. Oh, and he hit me and spit on my floor. And you did nothing to correct it. So full side eye to you ma'am.

On Wednesday I was at Universal Studios with my hubby and my 9 year old cousin (baby stayed home with grandma) and it was about 95 degrees that day. My FFFC is that I cannot stand when I see babies in car seat strollers that are completely covered by a blanket to make shade. It's soooooo hot for the baby when a blanket blocks airflow and keeps heat in!  And I did major side eye for the babies that were in carriers. I was sweating just looking at them

I use a Jolly Jumper Solarsafe stroller and play yard net when we do our daily walks. It lets air pass through, gives him shade without blocking his view of the world, and protects him from the sun. That said...I live in Quebec and it isn't nearly as hot as Florida!
