Parenting after a Loss

***Who let the Monday in? Confessions***

Re: ***Who let the Monday in? Confessions***

  • * Even though M is mobile, I haven't baby proofed. I know I should, but it's not like she's ever far enough from me to get into more trouble than eating dog food. 

    * I can totally picture SD walking around with lopsided boobs because her bra is on wrong.

    * I've put hoo-ha pads on upside down (not on purpose) and then had to suffer through getting off.

    * I am not putting up my pool this summer because I have no desire to clean & maintain it. It's just one more thing I don't need to have to worry about.

    * I'm hiring an exterminator to find out in whose yard the wasps & hornets are nesting. I will then send that person a bill. They're really bad this year & more obnoxious than ever. 

    * I'm giving up my car in january because it's just to expensive & MIL acted like the world came to screeching halt & all the flying fell from the sky. I told her to buy me a car then if she thought it was that bad. She shut up.

  • I have a few confessions but its time to wake DD to get her ready! boo! I will save them for tonight after work!!

  • *I was going to make a seperate "confession" for this, but more people would probably read it here...... I am seriously thinking of taking a Nest break.  I'm sick of posting stuff and getting a few replies or none at all.  I feel like I'm in high school trying to be the "popular girl" and then being upset because I'm not.  I'm tired of posting adorable pics of my baby and getting just a few replies when other people could post a very similar picture and get a ton of replies.  I know some of you may think I'm being a drama queen - so be it.  It's getting to the point where it's not worth me feeling bad over a chat board.
  • Summerbride- I totally understand. I too have been spending less time here and have been a lot happier for it. I'll keep peeping in on Sophia on FB. She's just too cute not to. 

    We have to gtg one of these days. We'll have to meet in the middle of us.  

     

  • Yes, we must try for that someday!
  • Summerbride and Crazy, you could meet at my house!!  I am on the border of NJ/PA, might be right in the middle!!!

    PS: I feel the same way too summerbride!  I rarely post b/c when I do, I get little to no response.  I mostly lurk... 

  • *i finally told my friend that i hired a sitter to come into the house while i work (after she offered to do so but her parenting skills are much different than mine and her 4 y/o is a beast).  she was pi$$ed and i don't really care.  i didn't give her my "real" reasons but just tod her that we wanted ds in his own environment at home and this will also allow me to interact with him when i can as well.  she was still mad.  oh well.

    *i really need to lose about 50lbs before ds's baptism in 5 wks!

    *i'm resenting the fact that dh is going to play hockey after work today.  when do i get me time?  i didn't tell him though and just told him to have fun.

    Sounds good to me.  

  • * My boobs are perfectly even - thanks to DH who finally had to come and fasten me this morning because I kept getting all tangled up :)

    * I hate that no matter how hard we try to not be clique-y - we still are.  Sara - your baby girl and her bodacious blond wig are adorable :)  

    * I just talked to future mgr and I'm starting to wonder if I can really do the job that is set out for me...holy shitt...

    * I think I finally convinced DH that a couch is OK to buy...yay!!!

    that is why I hardly ever post on this board, never really felt welcomed. I post more on 0-6.

  • I am really starting to get mad about the whole "your dad is a D-I-C-K" thing again now that I wrote about it above in my trip to chicago post.
  • * I also feel the same way as many of you do regarding this board and populatity contests.  I am not able to post often, but when I can I try to offer support/advise on topics that I can help with.  I have also noticed a certain person on the board tends to be and AW and doesn't seem to be around other than to AW.  It kind of gets to me.

    * I also feel like a break is in order b/c of the above and all of the posts about sleep....it is stressing me out and it seems to be an important topic on this board.  We are struggling and it just makes me more stressed out.

  • *it's no secret that i feel the same as sara.  we have discussed it before.

    *i will miss sara if she leaves.  our LOs are almost the exact same age and we have a lot in common.  i value her opinions

    *i should take a complete break from all forums and probably will once i go back to work (school starts in august).  i posted on my local a few weeks ago and just needed to vent about something DS related.  i got a msg back from someone that i considered a "friend" that said i needed to quit b*tching and be thankful for my healthy baby.  it really hurt my feelings.

     

  • *I know I don't post very often, but I try to comment when I can. I really hope that no one takes my absences personally.

    *On another note, most of the time I don't think anyone would even notice my absences. Not because you guys are doing it on purpose or anything...just because well, we're all rather wrapped up in ourselves, our friends, and of course our babies. ?

      I'm tired of posting adorable pics of my baby and getting just a few replies when other people could post a very similar picture and get a ton of replies. 

    This.  It drives me nuts.  One person could post "I have a one month old! (or whatever)" and it gets one reply and someone else posts it and it gets 15 replies and a star.  It has nothing to do with time or whatever because if you have time to respond to the 15 reply post you have time to respond to the one reply post.  No drama.....its just stating the facts.  I don't respond to every post because I don't always have any answer but if someone has good news or a pic to share I try to respond. 

    summerbride, I think your little one is a cutie!  I also think you should stay.

  • I have felt the way some of you do in the past... but I don't anymore.  I recognize that we are all busy.  I recognize that I have formed friendships with certain people.  I recognize that I have more in common with women whose babies are closer in age to Kellen.  And I recognize that I don't always have something to say. 

     

    * I think people who say things like "a certain nestie is" should suck it up and call the person out.  It just makes others feel insecure.

    ditto all of this (except the Kellen part)

    I'm sorry. :( I understand how you feel sometimes.

  • * I'm dreading people trying to touch my belly at BIL's promotion ceremony on Wednesday. I think I'll take to smacking hands if they try.

    * I don't respond to every post I read because many times the pp's have said what I wanted to say much more eloquently than I could or I just don't have anything to say so I choose to leave the thread. It's not that I don't like the OP, it's just that I don't have anything to say that would be of value.

  • * i plan on eating ice cream every night of our vacation. this is a lame confession but i read this post so needed to respond with something.
  • *This one's bad, but....I'm not upset at all that Billy Mays died.  I'm not happy about it, but definitely not sad or shocked.  I guess that makes me seem heartless, but the guy annoyed me.  I was WAY more upset about MJ dying.
