FFFC!

ShangriLaRose

I haven't buckled M into her swing or bouncer yet either.

My FFFC (and this one is tough to admit): Before having Maya, I rarely enjoyed sex with MH.  I "faked it" over 90% of the time b/c I didn't want to hurt my husband's feelings.  It wasn't always that way and I don't know how things got so bad, but somehow they had.  Now I am making an effort not to do that b/c it doesn't help anyone- I'm not satisfied and MH thinks everything is peachy.  If he notices that I'm (seemingly) not as satisfied as I once was, or that it's "taking me longer" I plan to say that things feel different after having a baby and what worked so well before doesn't anymore.  I know in a perfect world I should be able to be more open with MH about sex but the couple times I tried to talk to him it didn't go well- he got all defensive and mad like I was insulting him.  Wow- it feels good to get that off my chest!

 

That sounds like me after I had DS back in '08... if I tried to talk about it to MH, he'd get super-defensive and angry.... so after we had DS, I just started blaming it on his birth... and after awhile, slowly but surely, things got soooo much better... and now we're back to mind blowing encounters. ;-) Good luck!

While I'm trying to get homework done and my DH is at work (she inevitably decides to cry when I get started), I just leave her cry because I want to finish school. (I'm trying to write my Master's Thesis right now).

This makes me sad.

me too. 

me three.

My FFFC: MH, when we moved into our house, insisted on buying one of those spinning reel lawn mowers. I told him that it was a silly idea, as we have a huge yard, and that if he did it would basically guarantee that I would never mow (it's about 3/4 of an acre). He went ahead with that plan anyway. Now we are having a record breakingly hot summer with lots of rain and he has to mow at least once a week if not more, and I watch him through the window thinking told you so, but he is so proud he would never complain about it. HAHAHA! (I would let him buy a regular mower if he admitted he was wrong)

LOL that's funny.  Silly men and their pride.  When will they learn that the woman is ALWAYS right?

I think my LO is absolutely adorable but I really hope his head grows into his ears.  I really think his ears stick out too much and he looks a little goofy.  

Mine too!!  He totally inherited my ears.  The poor thing.  The right one especially sticks out.  But he's still the cutest baby ever.

OMG mine insisted on one too!!!  He used it practically every day when he first got it 3 summers ago for a few weeks and then quit.  Now we have hired a guy to mow our lawn because otherwise it won't get done.  At least he didn't spend a ton on a gas or electric mower.

Ha ha, mine did the same thing. Then spent last summer borrowing our neighbor's or my mom's gas mower because he got behind. So, my mom offers to buy us our own, because she saw them on sale and is cool like that. MH refuses and buys one for $15 at a garage sale that needs a battery and lord knows if it works. Sigh. Ah, well, I basically told him it's his problem and he agreed.

My favorite part is that having even slightly long grass drives him nuts. What a goof!

My first FFFC yay! I have two .When DH is home and not helping as much as I would like, I have him take DD while I go to the bathroom and I stay in there for a while just reading magazines acting like I'm pooping or trying to, just to have a few minutes to myself

Also, every time my FIL holds or even sees DD he uses her first, middle and last name. He never just says Emily. Even when he's talking to her he says it and I know it's ridiculous but for whatever reason it rubs me the wrong way. Probably doesn't help that he is a big guy with a quiet, monotone voice.

My MIL drives me crazy.  She has never done anything awful, but she just irks me.  She's been at our house all week with DH while I'm at work and this morning she came before I left and she said she's just having such a good time.  I like that they'll have a relationship, but I'd rather my own family spend time with her.  I know that is really selfish but she just annoys me.

Tomorrow will be the first time DH will be caring for DS alone - maybe for 5ish hours.  I secretly hope he's a little crabby so he can get a taste of what I go through every day while he's at work   He has no appreciation for how hard it is to care for a child because he only spends about 30 minutes with DS every day. 

I totally feel you! I work on the weekends and I get absolute pure elation that DH has them both for like 9 hours each day on the weekends!!! Its the highlight of my day, besides work, or course

Ok little back story first SO, me and DS live with SO parents. They have a basement apartment and allow us to live there for free. We do this because we are saving up money to buy a house and move out of state and would like to do it before LO reaches pre-school age.

Well SO mom is really wonderful but everytime I go upstairs to visit she instantly says "ill take the baby." I understand this is her first grandchild and she just wants to see him and play with him but she doesnt ask just more so states and my parents only see him once every week or two and they dont instantly take him from me. Well it just annoys me like im not allowed to hold my own child. So....many times I wont come up to visit until much later in the day like 2 or 3. When they wonder why I just say he was really fussy and that I didnt want to bring him up all cranky. I do this so I can have some extra time to cuddle and play with him. I know its a little selfish but sometimes I feel like she gets to hold baby more than I do. Also, I sometimes tell SO that he was cranky when the house is a little messy because I feel bad that it isnt spotless but he doesnt realize how much goes into taking care of a baby all day and I just want twenty minutes to do something for myself instead of vaccuming or doing luandry, I dont think I have blowdryed my hair or put make up on in at least a week.

It is technically Saturday here but....

I get really annoyed at DH when LO is fussing, I'm trying different things and he says, "mommy I'm wet" or "he hasn't had enough to eat yet, feed him some more," or whatever else the baby needs

I feel like I should/do know what he needs! So it annoys me when he tells me whats wrong - especially when he is right.

I have several Even though it's really not Friday anymore as I post this...

DH is driving me crazy! Ever since I was put on bed rest DH switched to working from home. And as wonderful as that sounds in theory it really isn't all that wonderful at all. He is always stressed out about getting work done but comes downstairs to help with the kids anyway then complains that he couldn't get work done. I never asked you to help, and yes both kids were screaming bloody murder...but I would have handled it and moved on eventually, yes it's super hard but it's what has to be done and I don't want to stress about the kids and now also stress out about you getting work done or feeling guilty you had to help. He is also such a disgustingly messy and dirty guy and I find myself cleaning up after him so much, it takes up 80% of my time just to straighten up after him so I personally just want him to go back to his office at work, but he insists he doesn't want to. He makes the kitchen so unbelievably dirty for breakfast and lunch so I either have to cook for him each of these meals or clean up after his kitchen disasters. The man will not just have a simple bowl of cereal for breakfast or a sandwitch for lunch, it has to be a freakin cooked feast...annoys the crap out of me!!! Fine you can eat whatever the heck you want IF YOU CLEAN UP after yourself.. I really just want him out of the house. He is a horrible "roommate" if that makes sense, just totally inconsiderate and messy and leaves a trail of trash and mess wherever he goes. If he wasnt my husband whome I love dearly I would never ever live with him. He doesnt want to go back to his work office because he doesnt want to commute from our new place. We have only one car so he'd have to walk or bike to the train station thats a mile away and he refuses. He wants me to commite to dropping him off and picking him up everyday from the train station WITH TWO KIDS! There is noway I am going to revolve my whole day around his schedule. Rush hour is cRAZY here and having to be at the station at 5 everyday would require me to be limited to the house or immediate surrounding areas starting at 2 pm which basically is right when DS1 wakes up from his nap, and so technically I'd be stuck at home starting at 12pm...just so I can make sure I'd be there to pick him up at 5...no thank you!

There are a million other things that are annoying me about DH right now and I think it's mainly all because he's home all day long....I seriously think a lot of what I an annoyed at would disappear if he would just go back to his office and leave the house!

OMG, I can't even imagine.  I am so glad it's impossible for my husband to work from home because honestly when he's home more than normal it drives me batty.  He seriously follows me around from room to room going "what are you doing?" and then constantly tells me "you don't have to do that, I'll do it" about everything from the dishes to making the bed to whatever else except if I wait for him to do it I'd be waiting for about a year.  When he was home after LO was born I seriously was just like "don't you want to go to the basement to play video games?!?!?!" just because I wanted him off my butt.
