FFFC Thread: Come One and All
Man, a whole hour into work and no FFFC thread yet? Well everyone must be just peachy this week, huh?
So here's mine for the week.
I don't measure out how much solids DS gets. I just put an amount in his dish and feed him and if he wants more I add more. Sometimes I waste a little and other times he chows what I make and more. I just keep seeing these posts about we gave x-amount at this hour and yada yada yada...and I can't respond to those posts because I really don't know exactly how much I give him every day...
Oh well, he's fed and happy...

Re: FFFC Thread: Come One and All
hahaha I do this too
I have a bunch this week!
I'm really sick so my son has watched a lot of TV in the past 2 days. I'm anti-TV with baby, so this is bad for me.
I've introduced 2 new foods in the past 2 days. Didn't wait the 3 days between new foods.
I'm one of those people whose whole life is consumed with being a mom. I'm that really annoying girl whose FB status is always baby related. I couldn't even leave DS with my mom for a few hours to get some rest because I just can't bear to be apart from him.
Yes...this is me as well, but I have to leave him to come to work.
I really don't have my own confession this week.
I totally agree with you! I too must have a black hole!
ive got a couple this week...
DH starts a new job on monday, and though i wont tell him, im a bit sad that he starts on my birthday. i was really looking forward to spending some time with him. but money is money :P
tuesday i go in to find out if my cervical cancer has spread, and i get a few procedures done to remove what the can. i am terrified, and dont talk about it much. i wish i could just sit down with DH and tell him my fears, but whenever i bring it up, he brushes it off, saying "ull be fine and thats that". i know thats probably his was of dealing and coping, but i really just want someone to listen and agree with me and say "yeah, its scary as sh!t, and i really dont know whats gonna happen, but ill be here for you." ?
im pretty sure im going to loose the baby in my belly because of my cancer treatment, and i feel terrible that i cant give DH a son (vasectomy already happened, this was a post vas surprise).
last night i really wanted to let DD CIO because she was just being a cry baby for no reason. she was dry, fed, and just over tired. after three hours of screaming, she finally passed out. i regret even thinking of letting her CIO. ?
I have one & it may be a bit tacky..but I have to get it out!
I don't get why people grow their hair really really long, like to their butts or beyond. It doesn't look healthy or thick. It just looks long & lifeless. (sorry if it offends anyone) IDK just NMS I guess.
I have been able to leave my DH- I go to work and have gone out twice w/o him, but the thought of leaving him over night makes me feel totally anxious and I am almost never out of "mommy" mode which has definitely taken a toll on my marriage. I never wanted to be the kind of women who totally lost myself when becoming a mom, but I have. I don't care about anything other than my son. Hey at least I realize it and know I need to do a better job of balancing it all!
Here are mine:
On Fridays, I drop LO off a little early at DC so that I have time to go to Starbucks before work. Everyone thinks it's because my fridays are so hectic at work, but I end up getting to the office at the same time. It's just a treat for myself.
I want to take my dad off my FB page, but it would break his heart. He clicks 'like' and comments on every status or pic that I post. Even when it's something bad, he clicks 'like' and when I ask him why the eff he did that he says "It's not that I'm happy about it, it's more like and "I commiserate with you" thing." No, the button says like, and it's not an 'i commiserate' button, nor a 'click here if you read the status or saw the pic' button. and really? you have to comment on everything? half the time he doesn't know what I'm talking about, and most of the time it's kind of off topic, sometimes even embarrassing. It's gotten to the point where people actually ask me who that is that always comments on everything. Okay, that fffc turned into a rant. sorry.

I totally agree! Except that I think you can grow it to be healthy, but sometimes people just grow it out without trimming it or taking care of it. I just chopped off my hair last week, but it was down probably about 2/3 of the way to my butt. It was layered, healthy, shiny...I took care of it. Not like people who all they have are split ends from their shoulders to their knees. I'm a pretty lazy person. It's not that hard to put some conditioner in your hair and have it trimmed every few weeks (or even months).

I agree a lot of it is how you take care of your hair. I've had mine pretty long about 2/3 down my back as well, but I have super thick hair & it was also layered.
But there is a point to where it starts to look bad no matter how well you keep it up. It just looks too long! It makes me want to go give them a haircut!
Um, wow! Def sad that's he's dead, but he should not have been doing what he was doing. I won't say he deserved it, but when you do bad things...bad things happen. Would they have felt bad for him had he harmed someone in the house and gotten the death penalty? I'm sure the homeowner feels bad for taking a life, even though he was protecting his family.
While my hair is only mid back it's not been trimmed for 1.5 years. We just haven't been able to work it into the budget...yes that's how tight our money is, but not for long! DH starts his new job today!! YEAH! Hair cut (and maybe a mani, pedi, and massage) here I come! I can't bloody wait!
Okay...I've thought of one, even though it's more of an unpopular opinion:
I hate when people say 'nice to me chew'! Please...nice to meet YOU.
I'm with Mrs Sherod...
and,
It's ASK, not AXE!! Drive's me effin crazy!!! It's the one thing that makes me bsc. I'll change the channel if it's in a show.
I worked for months and built a little network of mommies around me out of total strangers I met through differetn means.
My friend finally joined a working mommies group, and she's so nervous for her first group, and is making me drive a half hour just so she will know someone there. I wish I had said no.
You'll get there. You still haven't gotten over the first one!
I don't wait three days after giving solids. Neither one of our family's have food allergies. I'm not worried about it. So far, so good.
And, I fed E in bed this morning in order to snooze in a bit. It felt wonderful!!
Girl, I was headed in this direction, too. We don't even sleep in the same bed - I sleep with DS. I tell him it's because baby wakes up throughout the night to nurse and my husband needs 8 hours of sleep, but really it's because I'd rather sleep with my baby. I decided that I need to start making DH and my marriage a priority even if every cell in my body disagrees. So starting this weekend we're going to sleep in the same bed and I'm making the effort to take the time to honor him. You can do it, too!!
Rcollier, quit making your baby look like mine!
For reals, they look alike.
Here's mine. I've had it for a while but apparently now I have the guts to say it.
I didn't know The Bump existed before I was preg with DD. I wish I did. I went through 3 years of infertility and a m/c at 9 wks between Jan 2006 and Feb 2009. I am jealous of the women who had support through that and don't feel like I can wear the badges of SAIF or Angel Baby or whatever cause I didn't experience it on here. I feel like if I put that stuff in my siggy now, I would look like a poser.
That's my insecurity about the "cool kids at the lunch table" phenomenon around here. I wish The Bump advertised more so I could have jumped on sooner....
I think this is my first FFFC but honestly I can't remember. Here it goes...
DS is driving me nuts!! He is so fussy everyday. Everyone says its teething and I can see some teeth under his gums now. But this has been going on for months now. Can teething be blamed for it all? I think I just have an unhappy baby. He is happy for maybe 30 minutes and then back to fussing.
This just made me laugh out loud.
Aw, this makes me sad. You certainly would not be a poser to honor your m/c baby or acknowledge your infertility in your signature!
I do this every morning. I would have weaned already (my supply is starting to tank), but I'd just miss the morning snugglies too much.
My niece was born a month ago, and my BIL moved (without my sister's agreement) his sister to their house in PA under the guise that she would watch my niece when my sister goes back to work. His sister is my age and doesn't have a desire to work, go to school or move out on her own. My sister is upset and vents to me about the situation, but says nothing to her husband about how she feels. I feel bad because I know she turns to me because there is no one else she's comfortable talking to about the situation, but at the same time I just want to tell her to stop telling me about the little things her SIL does and how unhappy she is, since it does no good.
I am especially sensitive since this sister is going to be their free daycare, and the major reason my husband and I are living in two separate states (MI and PA) is because we cannot afford childcare in the area he lives and I need to work to pay for my tuition so the school will stop holding my degree hostage.
