Let's start an official FFFC thread.

Sometimes I have to watch what I say because I can come off sounding like a shrew to my Fiance. I act a lot like Kate (on Jon and Kate Plus 8) with the snapping...I need to stop that crap before I push my fiance to the edge. He says it doesn't bother him but it bothers me. The crappy part? I have to concentrate and really bite my tongue. It's pathetic I know.

DS is the most enjoyable part of my life, but I am getting frustrated because he makes it almost impossible to enjoy anything besides him. When I'm having a bubble bath I worry that he's going to start crying and DH is going to have to bring him to me, so I hurry. I have to plan any consumption of wine or cocktails around his eating schedule. I can't talk on the phone without whispering because he's asleep, or having him SHRIEKING happily or fussing in the background. I used to love cooking elaborate meals, but it is impossible to do so when DH is watching him and he's fussing because I just want to grab him and let DH cook dinner--which will be pizza, pasta, or sandwhiches And if I do manage to struggle my way through making an actual meal, it's cold by the time I get to eat it because HE wants to eat, or I have to shovel it down because I know he will only tolerate not being the centre of attention for 15 minutes tops. I just want to be able to enjoy something besides my baby. I want to enjoy my interests and my husband too, but I can't.

Oh, and sometimes when DH is watching DS I want to put on my Ipod so I don't have to listen to him whine and I can try to actually enjoy my "me" time.

Um...also, today is DS' Thanksgiving Lunch at daycare.  The daycare told me I could invite grandparents and I only invited my mom.  I didn't even tell MIL it was a possibility.

Wow...most of your FFFCs could be mine, too!  And since my last one really wasn't one, here's one that is more like it.

I totally judged my SIL for giving her LO candy at breaskfast and for using the shirt her LO was currently wearing to wipe the chocolate off her mouth.  I was grossed out.

I would have done the same thing!  Conveniently "forgot" to tell MIL...you do whatta you got to do to preserve your sanity.

I don't want my mil to visit for Thanksgiving. I don't want her to hold dd. I don't want her near dd. I don't care to see mil for a long long time. I want to keep my dd away from her. My mom is the only grandma she needs for both grandma things and as a roll model.

OMG I could have written this myself.  I am SO not looking forward to spending any time with MIL next week.

Okay, here it goes:

Before baby I was an animal lover, to the point where we ended up with two dogs by taking them in as strays on a whim.  We had three dogs now  and they have always been my "babies".  However, I find myself now on a a daily basis so.f'n.annoyed at them (their barking, their shedding, their hyper activity inside the house after baby is asleep) and have slightly started to resent their existence.  I know, it's a horrible thing to say, but I work, take care of a household, now have a child and the three dogs to top it off.  It's a lot and I know it's what I signed up for, but geez...end of FFC.

I feel the same way towards my 2 dogs.  DH always said that "things would change" once DS came.  Well, he was right.  Even though I HATE to admit it. 

Yeeeeah....we have a cat we used to worship.  Ever since DD was born, she has become WAY more needy (because we pay WAY less attention to her).  She starts meowing at us the SECOND we wake up.  She is constantly under our feet and rubbing our legs.  It actually makes me feel really guilty.  I do love my kitty....I'm just kinda sick of her. 

I feel the exact.same.way. My cat was my world before DD. Now she drives me insane. I feel terrible about it, but I just don't have enough hours in the day to give her the constant attention that she seems to need.

I just put DD beside DH in bed because I want him to wake the hell up.

1.  I think a lot of FFFCs are more AW comments than true confessions.  (I've been guilty of it once or twice)

 

ITA, and also think that there is a lot of confusion between what is a FFFC and what is a UOT.

I also agree with DD about the Team Green thing. It's fine to find out, whatever, but don't tell me I can't be prepared because I don't know if I'm having a boy or girl. Also, don't tell me that you are annoyed that I'm not finding out because you don't know what to buy now. As if I would have ruined the best surprise of my life to make someone else's gift0buying easier.

I always wanted to say "don't buy me anything since its that big of a hassle".

Okay, here's mine:

 My in-laws annoy the hell out of me!  I know, I know, not a great confession, but the thing is that DH's parents are the nicest people I know.  I have absolutely nothing to complain about.  I really have no explanation for it at all.  I think it's that our parents live in the same town and when we visit, I just want to stay at my house and visit with my family.  I don't let the annoyance show, I just wish it weren't there.

 

This is me only sometimes my annoyance shows

I really want to go off on my MIL. For the longest time she was nice, and I enjoyed talking to her. But then she became one of the people who believes that since she goes to church every sunday, she can judge people. She does not believe in DH whatsoever, and it kills me.

  A few weeks ago, I called her just to say hi. I mentioned that we had been at the mall on halloween so I could fill out paperwork for my new job, and she just sighed. She asked who would be watching DS, and I told her that DH would. She then kept saying, " well....as long as your okay with that" in that annoying pitying tone. 

  DH is wonderful with Thomas. Every morning, Thomas's face lights up as soon as he sees his daddy. DH loves figuring out new things he enjoys, whether its floating in the bathtub (dh's hands under him) or toys he likes.Plus, DH hasn't been able to find a job, and I got one to support our family. Simple as that.

She'll never see this though. No one in DH's family will ever see him as more than a screw up because he's not an engineer. Which really sucks, because its left DH with a lot of self esteem issues, especially relating to jobs.

 

in my life

I'm going back to work part time (2 days/week) and am excited about it. I think I will appreciate my days with C even more when I have some time away from her. And at the same time my heart is breaking that her mommy won't be there with her every single day like I've been for the past 5 months.

I want a divorce.
