FFFC!

bigbootyjudi

I drugged my baby. Okay, not with actual drugs...with gripe water. The one we use has 12mg of chamomile in it and it usually puts him out, so after four hours of attempting to put him to sleep for him to wake up two seconds later, I gave him some. He was out in a couple of minutes. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

What's yours?

I hate cows. They make me stabby. Flame away

Daniellekrista

In the fear thread, someone said they were afraid of cows.

I refuse to give up dairy completely. I have cut back and I am sure it would be better for both of us if I did cut it all out. I am actually allergic to that ish and with it being ragweed season, I have massively reduces my intake, but I can't seem to kick the stuff. It's like crack. There should be dairy anonymous meetings.

Maybe jrew and I should start a DA?

Eta: it was LOH that is afraid if cows. She can join the DA, too.

Ugh! Mine makes me feel guilty...

I feel like I'm a better parent than DF... I feel like I understand LO better and can attend to him better. I feel horrible, because DF IS a GREAT dad... I just feel like I'm a better parent.... I'm not perfect! And I'm not saying I'm SuperMum.... Its hard to explain!!

ETA: I don't let this interfere with DFs parenting... I don't double check everything he does, or I try not to... And I don't jump in and take over from DF if I don't agree with what he's doing.... I have to take a giant step back and let DF do things his way sometimes

I think this is totally normal; no one knows a baby better than the mama. I think men are just different. I know exactly what you mean though. My DH is amazing and so great with LO. But, sometimes I see little things, like he's crying and he doesn't want to be held a certain way, and I just keep my mouth shut. I don't want DH to feel like I question his parenting skills, we just do things different.

Also I think it's great you let him do it his way. I've seen women treat their husband terrible and then wonder why he won't be more active or helpful. Kind of funny, actually.7

Oliver has been having screaming fits and last night I had class. I feel bad, but it was nice to have a break to just have nonscreaming baby time. I love my baby and feel horrible for feeling that way. I know it's all normal though. Mom guilt is a biatch!

Also, DH and I have been joking about how the hospital gave us a broken baby and we lost the receipt.

Ha Ha I must have missed that post! LOH would FREAK OUT on our farm! I am lactose intolerant and find it very ironic that I married a dairy farmer. Yesterday I woke up to a calf in my garage and it is sad that it no longer seems odd to me to have livestock in my home.

I'm jealous of my baby's wardrobe.
Even when she is wearing pajamas, it's usually cuter than my best outfit.
I really need to go shopping.

I agree with this completely. [most of the time] mommy knows best. It is so hard to keep quiet sometimes but I do. Sometimes I give him hints to make his life easier though.

I hide what I spend from DH... because I have a shopping addiction. Like, I will get cash back at the grocery store so he doesn't see what I spend. Or I will leave bags in my car until he goes to work. He isn't controlling or anything but I don't feel like having to tell him EVERYTHING I spend money on. Like the 75 dollar crocheted [sp] Minnie Mouse Halloween costume I just bought for Calli... oops!

I'm calling the ped to put DS on a stronger reflux med. I feel guilty because what if its not his reflux that's bothering him and here I am drugging him. I feel like a bad mom.

I'm socially awkward and after reading some of my posts I realized I'm just as awkward in cyber space as I am IRL.

When I post something, either start a post or comment on one, I get all excited when a regular poster comments on it! Shout out to: c_mo, anbeck, bpaws, bemyselfandi just to name a few ... Yeah that sounded awkward ...

Haha that's funny. There is even popularity over the internet... and those girls you want to "be like". You're pretty popular yourself though too!

I call my ped once a week if not twice because she has phone hours. About to call her for the 2nd time this week.

I am beginning to feel like I am ready to go back to work and I'm guilty. I could easily be a sahm but financially we can't and yesterday I actually started getting excited about it. Then last night I cried putting them to bed because I'm going to miss them when I go back. I think I'm losing it!

Crossingfingers

My sister came to visit yesterday and I talked her into chopping about nine inches off of her hair and also coloring it.. It really did look awful before she did it, and AWESOME when it was done, but it was purely for selfish reasons. I haven't had a cut/color since we moved and I wanted to make sure the salon I went to was good!    Better to risk her hair than mine!!

Msbean22

I can't stop eating horrible things for breakfast. I routinely buy cream cheese frosting cinnamon rolls from Walmart. Fruit or yogurt or cereal for breakfast just sounds awful to me (even though I like though foods.)

Just has to be done. No way around it.  

Whittyone12

I am proud of my c section scar, and the million and a half stretch marks all over my bbs from breast feeding . I feel like I can look at them anytime I am questioning my parenting abilities and say "this is physical proof that you do what's best for your baby." I feel more beautiful for having them. That's my confession.

Also I have putting Keith in bed with us a lot lately. Last night when he STTN for the first time I woke up in a panic because I was sure he smothered.....

I am ready too. When people ask if i want to stay home or if i dread going back my first response is no way! I love dd and am grateful i get 12 weeks, but i love my job and need to get out of the house and be productive. I feel guilty thinking that way, and sometimes get a look for my response.

I'm a teacher so I get to work and have holidays and summers off! It's the best of both worlds! That and my sub sucks ...

mommietobeto3

I usually take a shower before feeding ds in the morning whether he's awake or not. I just have to bath first thing or I can't stand it. And I hate the way DH handles baby. I mean he would never hurt him but he'll hand him to me one handed and things like that.I just want to be like he's your child not a toy!

bswishe4

My SO got off work at 7am and is alone with Wyatt until grandma picks him up around ten to keep him a few hours. He has been alone with him a good bit but I normally try to make it as easy for him as possible so now he thinks there is nothing to it. I had to leave for work and I kissed baby bye and left. I did not make any bottles for him or take any diaper stuff in to him. I did nothing nothing. I figured why not let him have a hectic morning for once. I do feel a little bad but when he called a few minutes ago saying taking care of a baby is hard and Wyatt peed all over the bed and he had to make a bottle while holding him ect.. I still laughed when we got off the phone.

I had a coke zero and rocky road ice cream for breakfast and I'm considering having the same for lunch.

Although DH is a great dad I get annoyed anytime he starts a sentence with "he likes it when..." Um I know what he likes I spend the majority of the day with him!

OH MY GOD.

Can I come to your house and snuggle your moos too??????

Seriously, I was an animal science major in college and I NEVER got over the cuteness of the babies. I was never able to fully see them as future "products" if you know what I mean. 

My confession? I have yet to cook dinner since kiddo was born. I know I'm going to have to start again soon, and I actually cook really well...but I'm enjoying the break. Le sigh. All good things must come to an end, I suppose.

Buona Fortuna

I just cut off 14 inches of my hair and donated it to locks of love. My DH told me not to because I'd regret it. I hate; HATE, my short hair but I pretend to love it just so DH doesn't know he was right. I hate when hes right. And I want my hair back.

Yeah I have to say I was surprised about my parenting (or maybe soothing?) instincts vs. DH's.  he is really bright, and pretty domestic in terms of liking cooking and gardening, but I feel like my instincts for calming the baby are better.  I think he will be better at playing with her though.

Mortgage is due on the 1st of each month so today I went online to check mine and the Hub's bank statement...annnnnd I definitely might have saw that he bought me a laptop for my birthday....

When my DH and I got married we agreed to only having one baby. He's 13 years older than me and already has two kids from his first marriage. I thought that would be fine because I wasn't sure I wanted any as step mothering didn't come naturally to me Now that our LO is here I want another one bad.

Really shallow FFFC today. I hate sweatpants with stuff written on the butt. It's tacky. I hate Victoria's Secret Pink stuff worn out of the house by adult women. Tacky. I hate Coach bags, shoes, etc. A lot of it is ugly. And again, tacky. I see way too many women with ombre hair, VS Pink sweatsuits, Ugg boots and Coach bags walking around the malls. Its so cloned and contrived. I appreciate individuality.

merricksmom

No no no...you misunderstand. I actually love and own Uggs. I just hate them with that yummy mummy uniform.

ShelbehhRawrr

I couldn't wait to go back to school for some peer interaction.. not that I don't miss the crap out of my baby.

Daniellekrista

I called in "baby is sick" to my only client today. We need the money, but since I picked up a new client that I start with next week, I feel like its ok.

To be fair, he isn't his normal, happy self. He has not let is put him down in 2 days. Yesterday he lived in the moby.

Or when they wear Uggs and a blue jean mini skirt ... Different seasons

I own all of those things but would never wear them together

When I see "Juicy" written on someone's butt, I immediately think of diarrhea.

I'm considering trying a little bit of rice cereal in DS's bottle at night as suggested to me (over and over and over) by my parents and grandmother... even though I told them it's a horrbible idea (because I know it is and DH strongly agrees) but after over a month of no more than 3 hours of sleep at a time, I'm desperate to get him to sleep a little bit longer stretch through the night. I know it's not a guarantee but I'm willing to secretly try it because he just never seems satisified. Even after 3.5 or 4 oz which has been his max at one feeding, he will scream for more an hour later.
