As someone who works at an impound lot nothing irritates me more than a parent who blames everyone else for their kids screw up. Just dealt with the lady who blames the cop, the judicial system and the impound lot for her inconvenience of having to get her car out of impound because her son got a DWI. Your kid screwed up, it's on him no one else....
My kid is playing on the iPad so I can bump. My insomnia was through the roof last night and I'm just tired. Patiently awaiting naptime so I can nap with him. I work 5p-1a tonight and this lady needs a nap.
I guess mine is that I didn't think the post was that weird. Kind of weird, definitely, like introduce yourself first, but he's never posted anywhere else at all and said he likes the app for seeing how big baby is and stuff. DH downloaded Ovia for the same reason - not that he has any interest in the "community" part of it. But still, I thought it was kinda sweet he wants to do something nice for his wife and decided to ask other pregnant ladies' opinions.
My confession is that I was up way too late last night because somebody was wrong on the internet with something that just really got me worked up. I had to basically walk it off and go complain to DH about it.
@ArtificialRed it's the Pregnancy Subscription Box thread.
Related FFFC: I don't like subscription boxes. DH got me Birchbox one year for Valentine's Day because I'd been dying to try it and I thought it was a waste of money. I get the appeal if you love trying out products and makeup, just not for me. I also don't like Stitch Fix. They always send me crap! I'm too good at shopping on my own I guess.
@DuchessOfCambridge thanks! I wouldn't have clicked on that thread because I also think subscription boxes are a waste of money. (But I'm aware that there are people with a lot more disposable incom than me, and people are absolutely allowed to do what they want with their own money.)
@av2323 agreed! Sorry dad's out there, but I feel like this is our little mom sanctuary to chat.
Mine is that I don't see much of a difference between "bitchfest monday", "TW Tuesday", "WTF Wednesday", "UO Thursday", or "FFFC", but I really do love having a place to confess and vent day to day! Now we just need "Sucky saturday" and "Snarky Sunday" so I don't have to save my complaints till Monday! Lol
Just playing devils advocate here but why are we so against a dad but not the non-carrying wife? I think of the boards as a place for us pregnant women to go because we are all going through a similar experience not some anthropology study on pregnant women.
@cmessamore to me, Monday-Wednesday are the same board and Thursday/Friday are the same board lol. Maybe we can have "Weekend Wah-mbulance" for Sat/Sun haha! Flame free whining that is not guaranteed to be flame free

Arg stuck in the box. Stitch fix never sent me anything small enough. I stressed how tiny I am. They just didn't have the inventory. So first box I kept the earrings just so I wouldn't be paying for nothing. I left this detail in my note to the stylist. The next box had NO jewelry or accessories and of course the clothes were all huge on me. That was the end of that.
I do enjoy popsugar boxes, but only subscribe because I get a significant discount thru a connection. That said, they are a real treat every month.
@MaximumEffort I'm not against a dad per se, it just caught me off guard. The more I thought about it the more I realized I would welcome a same sex partner without question so why not a dad?. I think, for me at least, it is because we have talked/will talk about some pretty intimate things so it may seem weird doing it in a man's presence. But again, it just caught me off guard.
I accidentally responded to a group text this morning at 6:30 am (mom friends), not thinking how early it was. Then remembered one of them had a baby yesterday. And I texted her at 6:30am. Worst friend ever.
I downloaded this app called Peanut (if you haven't heard of it, it's like a dating app to meet moms/moms-to-be in your area) and didn't understand how it worked and accidentally "waved" (told someone I was interested in connecting) without meaning to and I don't know how to delete it and it's stressing me out!
@av2323 The dad post weirds me out too because my DH would never be able to find this board and I've specifically told him about it ...lol! Also - why pick the Nov. 17 board? I'm all for men being involved and good dads but this is forum for pregnant women.
I don't find it weird. The reason I'm so careful with my anonymity is because I know ANYONE could be reading this board. If the board became overrun with individuals advertising that they are not in possession of an occupied uterus with an approximate November eviction date, I might be more open to the fb idea
I went to three stores in search of the gf stuffing kit because I had been craving it since one of our thanksgiving discussions. I ate that and cranberry sauce for lunch.
My Maltese has had a lot of changes in how she goes potty recently. From 4 months old when we got her to this past December she had an indoor potty called the Piddle Place. Then we got our Sheltie so she started going outside with her, no pee pads. Pregnancy tiredness and work schedules now have me leaving disposable pee pads out for her and now when I take her out with our Sheltie (on a schedule) she never goes but comes in and goes on the pee pad. I feel like a failed dog mom. Is this a potty training regression? haha
My husband is out of town for a race Soo me and the toddler came over to hang out at my in-laws. I'm mostly here cause I don't like being alone at night but I am also secretly hoping my mil goes out and gets us brunch cause she often does if we are here on a weekend (she is pretty great) cause I just don't want to have to go anywhere this morning sick with a toddler. Currently cuddling ds and pretty sure I will fall asleep first.
Re: FF*FC 5/12
eta found it. Definitely kinda strange.
