FFFC

erbear

1. Even though I'm 31, gainfully employed, and happily married, I'd seriuosly consider an abortion if I got pregnant any time soon.  As a result, I'm too scared to have sex with DH...so it could be a while...and I don't care.

2. I'm really really really looking forward to going back to work. I love Kate, but this staying at home bit isn't for me and I miss my job.

I'm 5 months postpartum and I still have a muffin top

Me too.  There's nothing wrong with that.

My FFFC is that although I like my MIL, I'm happy that DD is in daycare instead of staying with the ILs while I work so that MIL doesn't get to spend more (day) time with DD than I do.  We put her in daycare for a number of reasons, but I've secretly felt this way the whole time and it made it easier for me to go back to work.

I moved by myself the end of Feb through mid March and I am just now getting certain things put away and pictures hung up.  I have been a total slacker and now I am trying to hurry and play catch up since my husband will be home within days.  I don't want him to think I have just been lazy this entire time.  He knows it was hard for me and I had issues at the end of my pregnancy but I feel I have no excuse to have waited this long.  I am afraid he would have been disappointed had he come home a few days ago before I started getting everything together.  Guess I can't be supermom like I try to be.

I hate that DH gets to be at home all day with DS while I have to be at work.  I know I need to work because DH is laid off but I think it is so unfair that he is home when it is all I want to spend every waking hour with the boy.  On the same note it drives me crazy that he is home all day and does nothing around the house then wonders why I dont want to have sex after working all day coming home taking over ds and having to clean the house

Ahhh this exactly, even though H is the best Dad and has really started to try and get more things done around the House I resent that he gets to SAH with her all day and it rips me apart every morning to leave, even after 6 months.  I hate being away from DD!

If I am really truly honest - in my heart I blame my husband for me not being able to SAH and I am incredibly resentful.  We had always planned on me being a SAHM once we had children.  Its what I have always wanted.  Right around the time I got pregnant with R the economy started to slip.  Towards the end of my pregnancy we had to face reality and I had to commit to coming back to work for at least a little while. I know my husband feels like it is his fault that he is not making as much money (he is in sales) and of course I keep telling him that I know its not his fault and I don't blame him.  Like I said, when I am really honest with myself, I have to admit that I do blame him.  Its not right and its not logical, but there it is.  I also have to admit that sometimes I do and say things that I know make him feel even worse about it.  I feel guilty about it - I am so miserable and I am making him miserable too.  I have to figure out a way to get out of this funk and just deal with my situation.

I have 2, but neither are super juicy.

1. DS slept through the night for the first time last night (which is awesome) but I am not going to tell DH, because he always rubs my back and feeds DS during the evenings "since I get up with him at night". Plus it was probably just a fluke.

2. I just canceled my 4 week follow up from getting mirena, because I didn't want to shower this morning. They can't get me back in until mid August, when I have a week long training- so I couldn't even reschedule.... ?

My DD is 6 weeks old and I still cannot swaddle her properly. We have the Kiddosomethingorother Swaddleme and I can never get it tight enough.She ends up being able to move her arms and just gets pissed that her movement is restricted. It kind of sucks hearing how wonderful swaddling is and makes me think she'd sleep longer if we could just get it right.

DH wanted to do it last night and I really didn't. I gave in because I felt bad, we've only done it twice since DS was born, and it was just miserable.

My DD#1 has been gone for 2 weeks, and while I miss her, I've enjoyed not catering to a 5 year old. I eat dinner whenever I want and have been swearing like a trucker because she's not home.

It is still terrible for us too....

The other night I asked DH if he wanted to right after we got home from dinner (because I knew he was full), just because I knew he would said he didn't want to. I figured that bought me a few more days.

I just bought a $200 stroller.  Oops!  DH will probably give me "the look."

But look, look.  It's sooooo pretty.  And we neeeeed it.

I hate these type of posts/vents but I am feeling hypocritical today so I am going to do it anyway.  I am sick and tired of everyone saying how much DS looks like DH.  Are there similarities, of course, they are father and son.  But he looks like me too FFS!  I have the pictures in my siggy because MIL gave us the one of DH a few weeks ago because she thinks DS looks so much like his father.  I even did a photo shoot to recreate the picture, waiting until DS was the exact same age as DH.  I still don't see what everyone else does.  And now for the actual confession:  I put the pictures in my siggy half-hoping that someone would be snarky and tell me that they look nothing alike.  Good Lord I am turning into one of those people that needs to have my opinion validated by strangers on the internet!

SO's sister is constantly texting me asking if she can come over to see "her" baby. I ignore the texts and when SO asks me about it, I lie and tell him I never got any and that my phone must be messed up. But I really do hate her. She comes over and kisses all over him and who knows where that mouth has been. With her comes her bratty 2 1/2 year old daughter that climbs all over me when I'm trying to feed DS, grabs his arms or legs and shakes them when he's trying to sleep and yells at him to wake up. She has absolutely NO discipline.

And one other thing. I intentionally put him to sleep when I know she's coming over because I don't want her to hold him.

I feel like I get the worst of DS since going back to work this week.  By the time I get home, he's fussy and hungry, and only interested in me for my boobs.  He won't even let me rock him to sleep at night - he just wants to be swaddled and put down (which I know is a good thing in the long run, but still).

It also kills me when my mom (who is watching him right now) and DH (who works from home) tell me about how happy and smiley and talkative he was all day.  I want him to be happy, but I want to be there for it too.  It just makes me want to cry.

I have a few.

1. I hate all my IL's.  I don't even count them as my IL's, just as DH's family.  I especially hate my MIL.  She's been trying really hard ever since DD was born (buying us things for no reason, trying to take us to dinner, etc) but before I got pg she talked so much shiit behind my back about me and she had abandoned DH from when he was 5 till he was 17 because of a man- and she thinks she can make up for that?  Wrong.

2.  I also hate my DH's best friend.  He's not that good of a friend to DH- he has never liked me and now that he's in a long-term relationship of his own he constantly has to say to DH that his girl "isn't bitchy all the time like kaylen is, she's actually fun to be around" blah blah.  Too bad the reason she isn't bitchy is because he's never home to hear it- he's working 2 jobs so he can give her the life she feels she deserves while she sits at home and lives off the state.  And he just declared himself DD's godfather- we didn't even ask him.  He just assumed.

3.  I also agree that DD is mine, not DH's.

4. I have no desire to have sex with DH.  I know it won't be that good (so it won't really be worth it) but it's mostly because when he is here he doesn't do a whole lot with DD, the responsibility falls onto me all the time and I resent him for that, which in turn makes him totally disgusting to me.

Whew, that felt good!

as much as I enjoy BF I'm looking forward to not having to live my life 3 hours at a time.  I love the time w/ my LO but pumping sucks.  I took off a Monday from work b/c I was exhausted and sent my LO to daycare but that didn't matter b/c I had to pump every three hours anyway.  I'm going on vacation and a business trip (w/o LO) in september and october and hate that I'm going to have to pump for every feeding.  yet I don't want to give him formula, b/c it is expensive and I would miss the closeness.

I guess I will throw one more out since it's 3am an I am pretty much alone on the bump. My H and I are both kinda goofy people. We are definitely the joksters of our two large famiies. We both crack each others, so at least we think eachother are funny. Then I come here, and make what we (yes, sometimes I showH what I put on the bump) think is a funny comment and I get nothing. Saddens me. Guess my humor doesn't translate well or I really am not funny. Either way I will still just carry on.

hehe... I get mad, too, sometimes b/c I make a funny comment but I don't get here fast/often enough to make it when a post is "hot" so my funny comment is left as a post-killer.

I know I haven't experienced being a mommy to a toddler, but I am getting sick of my bf telling me how hard it is.  She is always complaining about how he is "all boy" and she has to do so much work to keep after him.  Well, we hung out a few weeks ago and he was really good - all he did was try to walk up and touch the t.v. screen a couple times.  If she was dealing with this all the time, I could see how it would get annoying, HOWEVER she has also told me that her husband gets him ready and takes him to daycare 3x/week and she picks him up @ 5 and he is in bed @ 7.  How can it be "so hard" to spend TWO hours a day with your almost-2-yr.-old?  And she is trying to get pg now.  WTH?
