Re: FFWC
I'm so sorry for both of your loses.
I was going to gripe about money & work since I had to borrow $20 from my MIL this morning & than came to work to an official notice about my absences. All due to DD being sick or me being sick. It's not like I've played hooky. Not even once.
So I'm not going to complain about that. Why? Because I have my husband, daughter, ILs & my mom to be grateful for. I lost my dad 19 yrs ago & even though that pain never goes away I'm still very gratefull I at least have my mom still with me. She might be ill & a handfull at times but she is a good caring women who would & has litterly take the shirt off her back for you.
I hate cooking all the fish for my husband's Christmas Eve. I like the tradition, and I like having the dinner, but I really hate cooking all that fish.
You and me can be fish h-word'ers together
Send me your pirahna. I've got a boatload of smelt to bread and fry. He'll blend right in.
I don't know where this fits--confessions, UO, or AW, so I'm just going to put it here.
I am honestly baffled by all the discipline/tantrum/hitting posts. I can't relate at all. I'm wondering whether it's because a. my daughter is an angel b. my daughter is a tyrant and has me well-trained or c. I have realistic expectations of toddler behavior and I try to head things off at the pass as much as possible. Whichever it is, I'm happy for it to stay this way as long as possible.
Just wanted to say, 'I'm sorry' to you both.
I told my mom in July that I can't be a part of her life anymore until she can straighten herself out. I never knew my dad and while I technically have a parent still alive, the situation to me is like not having parents at all to share the holidays with and it has made me pretty grumpy all month.
I will never understand why a married couple has separate bank accounts.
I am going absolutely crazy being a SAHM. I love Brooke and I love that I can be home with her, but I miss adult interaction.
Do I need to pull up that picture you emailed when he dressed her like a homeless person? I will if it makes you feel better! LOL :-)
I suck at being able to tell when DD needs a new shoe size and I feel awful about it.
She's has been picking at her toes lately, and DH and I just figured out it's because she needs bigger shoes b/c her toenails are pressing weirdly in them. Something similar happened the last time she needed a new size. She doesn't complain about wearing the shoes or walk funny, and we can still easily get them on and off, so it's hard to tell that she's actually outgrown them.
She was wearing a six, we went yesterday and got her new shoes, and moved her up to a *7.5* to leave some room to grow. My baby was wearing shoes a size and half too small and it makes me feel sh!tty.

We have joint accounts but my H still has his separate accounts, which have a balance of probably $50. It just easier because he pays his student loans and car payment directly. I make substantially more than he does and that goes in our joint account. There is really nothing scandalous about it.
My confession is that I find it almost funny the amount of thought some people put in to buying Christmas gifts for their DC who is under the age of 2 and doesn't know the difference. More power to you for buying your kid lots of gifts but you really don't need to get our opinions on the amount of stuff you bought your kid. Your kid will like whatever you buy and won't know the difference.
DD #1 passed away in January 2011 at 14 days old due to congenital heart disease
DD#2 lost in January 2012 at 23 weeks due to anhydramnios caused by a placental abruption
What does stealing a plant have to do with your friend's remembering your birthday? And why did you steal the plant? I'm not following.
Well you probably BOUGHT the clothes he is putting on her so.... it is really you that is so stylish
My confession is that I hate Christmas this year. Its such a disappointment already.
DH and I agreed not to buy gifts for each other, and we are only doing small handmade gifts for family due to our financial situation, but I am so regretting it. My family doesn't want to get together until mid Jan (even though they are 1 hr away) and DH's family gets here Saturday, and this will be the first year I have nothing in my stocking and no gift to open. I feel super bitter about it even though it was originally our decision to not to gifts.
We got DD a couple things, so at least she wont have a nothingness Christmas.
I guess I just hate that its going to be like every other day.
Oh crap, I forgot about them. I havent been in my email lately.
Ehhhhhh, I probably shouldn't. I think I will wait until I can use my bucks.
Thanks! Go ahead and offer them.
Great idea...I would also add to the menu cereal and a cinnamon bobka...
We didn't get gifts for anyone this year. Not a single solitary person.
We were planning on going Hanukkah and Christmas shopping on the weekend of Dec 11-13 (we usually just do one big shopping trip), but then we had DS on the 11th, which really changed all our plans for the indefinite future. I kinda feel like a tool when we're going to holiday celebrations with our families and we're getting stuff and not giving, especially since the giving is my favorite part.
Oh thank you so much! All I could think of was the bread with the old lady and the string out the window. I couldn't remember the name of it.
I have 2...anyone want them? I feel the exact same way as you.
I'm pretty sure I know who you are talking about, and I am LOLing at this post.
I have a friend that I love, but she can be so petty and passive aggressive. Sometimes it really makes me wonder what she says behind my back.
C's party was rescheduled for Saturday and I haven't re-ordered the food or cake yet.
And I'm dropping off the presents for C's DC teachers tomorrow since even though I know everyone won't be there. She only goes on M, Th and F and I wasn't going to make a special trip in today to give them to everyone. I'll be the sucky mom, that's ok!
Me too
I think this is more of a whine than a confession but I'm short on confessiony stuff right now.
DH is being super grumpy about having to do "two christmas'" this year, because we're going out of town tonight (4 hour drive, if no traffic) to get up this parents Ranch for 3 nights, coming home Saturday evening then going my parents house Sunday at 9:30am (they live about 15 minutes away from us). He keeps groaning about how we have to do that and I keep saying if his parents and family had chosen not to move 3+ hours away (all of his family moved away from the bay area about 6 years ago after growing up here and live near eachother now) we'd totally do two christmas' every single year - big deal?
I guess I don't see what the issue is. I grew up in a divorced family situation from 3yrs and up, I had *3* christmas' most years, and not just in a week - usually in a DAY or two at most. Mom's, Dad's, and then Grandma's. So maybe that's why I don't see the big deal of doing it with both fam's if my parents are that close. He says he doesn't get to see his family that much (we always go for at least 3 days when we go up there - they make VERY little effort to leave their precious ranch to visit us, though, and his siblings are busy w/ 3 kids each themselves), I see my bro about 5 times a year - for a few hours, not days, each time - and my parents live close but we don't do like monthly dinners or anything crazy with them - they just help with Sierra A LOT. I don't think it's asking too much to let them enjoy a little Christmas w/ her after everything they do for us.
I dunno, even with his two siblings living 30/45 mins within reach of his parents - they all still only see eachother once in a blue moon, so ... I'm not sure what his expectations are to begin with.
Soorrrry.. that was long as crap.
I deep down honestly believe that my DD is the cutest, smartest, funniest, etc. kid EVER! I am sure we all think that most of the time but I just can't get over her. She is amazing! Is it really possible to love another child like this? This is my ongoing dream, will I love DS as much as I love DD. I know I will but I just can't imagine loving someone else this much!
I want to choke my MIL 99% of the time, the only reason I don't is because she is really a good grandmother. My DD loves her and she love my DD. It makes me happy. But seriously you think I should use DD's PINK INFANT CARSEAT CARRIER for DS? Are you out of your mind lady? This is coming from a woman who has bottles from her children (30yo and 27yo) and tried to give them to me when DD was born. WTF
will he know the difference?
No and if it was just a carseat I wouldn't care but it is an infant carrier that I carried DD in for the first 6 months of her life. I just can't see attaching it to our stroller or carrying it around and everyone saying how cute our little girl is.
For the record I am not buying a new carseat. My BFF has one that she only used for a few months and has never been in an accident.
marble rye!
first I want to come to the festivus party, second if this LO is a girl she will be wearing blue sleepers and using a blue carseat cover.
A real confession...a while back a nestie had a pretty bad family picture in her siggy. I submitted it to awkward family photos. They didn't run it (that I noticed) and I am a little disappointed. It was a doozy of a picture.
No I won't say who the nestie is.
