i'll try again...post your FFFC's
Since the last one turned into a pet discussion...let's try again! But I do have one more...I let LO watch tv everyday. She watched nick jr while I shower and get ready for the day.
What's yours?!

Re: i'll try again...post your FFFC's
I let DD watch quarantine last night.. she wasn't scared one bit unlike mommy lol. She loves to sit on my lap and watch t.v....
Hmm.. since I did like 4 on the last FFFC I'll think of a new one... I'm very insecure with DH and his female boss.. I trust him more than anything I just don't trust her. She's always trying to buy him lunch [just them] and she sends him personal text messages.. I think it bugs me because in all honesty he spends more time at work then at home... resulting in more time with her.. not to mention the fact that she just moved his office into hers... So for my FFFC I'm a jealous B!tch today...
OK I'll post again, I can't stop refreshing some of these threads today because they are so interesting to me.
My fffc: I love the drama.
That would drive me nuts. I trust DH 100%-- it's other girls I don't trust!
I would have bad feelings about that too.
I would totally feel the same way about the boss thing.
We live in an apartment. I feel bad for our next door neighbor when LO is screaming at all hours of the night. I DON'T feel bad for the couple above us. One too many nights they've woke us up with their animalistic sexcapades at 4am. Strange, they haven't done that lately. hehe
Both DH and my families live close and have been so supportive and helpful, but I am getting tired of them coming over/checking in all the time. Seriously, 3-4 days a week between them is too much!
Also, DH is getting better about helping, but I am still exhausted between LO, cleaning, cooking and we just moved. I guess MIL saw it, talked to FIL because he held the baby when they came over yesterday, then as they were leaving gave her to DH and told him not to give her back to me until two hours later for some daddy time (she had just eaten). DH was like "really, 2 hours!?!? oooook." THey leave. He puts her in the bouncy seat and hops on computer game. She fusses. He moves her to boppy. Grrrrr...the idea was to HOLD HER!! Finally, he ends up falling asleep with her on the couch. Two hours to the second later he comes looking for me (cleaning up the kitchen) and says all pitiful "can you take her back now? I'm tired." Oh are you? Try 6 weeks! </vent>
My FFFC:
I am probably going to have to quit BFing DS for a variety of reasons (which needs its own post so I won't bore you all with the reasons). I feel like a failure since I BFed DD for a year, however the only thing that's getting me through it is knowing that once I am FFing I can drink a lot more than my occasional glass of wine here and there.
If there was a 'Like' Button, I'd hit it
I love the TV confessions. DS#1 watches about 2 movies a day and isn't 2 yet. Gasp! ;o)
DS#1 still goes to daycare 4 days a week even though I'm home on maternity leave for 12 weeks.
My LO likes to watch daddy play video games. It's prettu funny, because my 3 week old he hands the controller....... Now for my rant
My family is completely overbearing. My grandma tries to tell me every time I bring up that my colicky 3 week old is crying to get a pacifier. I have said since I found out I was pregnant that I don't want her using pacifiers. Neither my aunt nor my grandma listen to me either when I bring up concerns about their pets (my aunt has a mini schnauzer that has snapped at kids, and my grandma has a hyperactive boston terrier who jumps on anything and everything and has no discipline). The other day when my grandma's dog tried and almost succeeded in jumping into my daughter's carseat WITH MY DAUGHTER IN IT tried to say it was cute and her dog just wanted to say hello. My aunt (who doesn't have kids) tries to tell me how to raise my daughter, and tries to 'diagnose' her when she cries. My mom and dad aren't so bad, but my grandma and aunt are driving me crazy!
I'm with you on the DH thing. Mine has done that, too. If you want her to bond with you, you're gunna have to hold her, not just look at her in her bouncy chair. grr.
ha yes! i LOVED when i would watch a baby story and the high-horse natural girls would be screaming and end up with the epi! feel free to steal my badge i made for us "awful moms" who got the epi. lol
I'm EBFing and have have a total of 5 beers already over just the last week! And can't wait to enjoy a couple more this weekend.
As long as baby is happy and healthy right?
I totally would, but I ended up with an emergency c/s. So I didn't have a choice in the matter anyway! When I thought I was getting a vaginal birth, I was pretty sure drugs were coming my way!
How dare you!! Lol. I never bring it up, because I'm not fully educated on it, but we were given extensive information on "purple crying." people should look it up. sometimes babies just cry.
I was imduced and then had my water broken..... The hour before I could get an epi was HELLLLLLLLL. Thank God for modern medicine.
I thought I posted but apparently, it didnt.
I hate when I see people complaining on the tri boards about wanting to not be pregnant anymore from 34-38 weeks. I would have given everything I had to make it to at least 37 weeks. It's not fair. I just avoid 3rd tri these days.
want me to go beat them up for you? lol at least your babies are healthy right?
I have one today...I started back to work on Monday - 4 weeks early - not because I had to but because I wanted to. I am only in the office two days/week and DS is not in daycare so I did it. I just need the time out of the house...
Well, yeah, they are healthy. But, I just brought home Lucas after 23 days in the NICU and Elena has at least 2 weeks or more to go. So... missing out on the first 3-5 weeks of their life, kind of sucks.
They made me watch a movie on purple crying before leaving the hospital...then sent me home with a copy of it.
DD isn't a fussy baby except if she is tired or hungry. If I know that she is full and is showing signs of being tired, I put her down. She may fuss/cry for up to 5 minutes. If I try to soothe her to sleep in my arms, she gets restless and overstimulated. I think she just needs a few minutes to get herself to sleep. Usually she doesn't cry at all though.
The other day we had our first nice and kind of warm sunny day in a few weeks. So I took DS for a walk. I kept her covered almost the whole time. The almost is my FFFC....after the walk we were all hanging out on her blanket, she was loving it...and I let her poor little face get sunburned. Yes...I fail.
On that note though, she has not been fussy or seemed to be in pain at all. And Dr. says she is ok.
I feel like I suckered DH into having a baby with me, and because of that, I get really defensive and mama bear-like when DD is fussy or inconsolable and DH gets frustrated.
Back Story: DH and I have been together 10.5 years (married for over 3 yrs). He has a 12 y/o daughter from a previous relationship (she's lived with us since she was 6 years old). So I've been step-mom for 10.5 years. I always wanted at least 1 child of my own. This has been an issue that has almost broken us up several times... obviously I got my way.
Which brings me to two more FFFCs.
I love my DD more than DD1. Don't get me wrong, I will beat the hell out of any guy who wrongs DD1, I will die for DD1, and I love her to the end of the earth, but it's more fierce with my DD. I feel guilty about that. I feel like I can't openly love the hell out of my DD without making DD1 feel jealous.
I know DD1 sometimes resents my DD. All through my pregnancy, she prayed for a boy, because she didn't want to be replaced as "Daddy's Little Girl". She's happy that my DD seems to be a Mama's Girl. This makes me feel guilty and jealous and a little resentful. I want my DD to have a chance to be a Daddy's Girl without feeling guilty for taking any attention away from DD1.
your dd1 will get over it. my little sister was born when i was 12. i had been an only child the whole time, even lived with my grandparents for awhile so i was pretty spoiled. i resented my little sister so much back then. it partly was because my mom placed A LOT of responsibility on me at that time and honestly i felt like a second parent. (we have different dads, sisters dad decided to come out of the closet after 40 yrs when he found out my mom was KU). but now i look back and i'm really glad i experienced it, it helped me a lot when LO was born and now that we're older, we get along great.
Thanks
I hope it gets better. DD1 loves my DD (clearly), but I sense her resentment and there's the little comments about Daddy's Girl, etc. Maybe when my DD is a little older and out of the crying newborn stage, she'll be less annoyed...
I really do hope that they have a wonderful relationship. I have a crap one with my sister (who is a total nut bag, but that's a whole other post! LOL) .
I can not wait for my roommate to move out. She is leaving next month and it can't come soon enough. She is awkward and sometimes creeps me out by always staring at DS, even coming into my room to stare at him in his crib. Also once she leaves I will have so much more space, when it was just me and my roommate it was ok but now LO's stuff is all jammed into my room and I am ready for him to have his own room! I think my roommate can tell that I am looking forward to her moving even though I haven't said anything but I don't feel too bad...
