Let's start an official FFFC thread.
And GO!
(I'm really lazy and like having all of them together.)
(This is not mine. I'll add it to the thread.)
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Let's start an official FFFC thread.
Nicely done.
(Tries to think of a good one...)
(In a teeny tiny voice) I think finding out the sex of your baby is boring and that using the "we want to be prepared!" excuse is lame. You don't have to have pink or blue blankets (or sheets or clothes) to be prepared.
(Trembling in fear)
I'm copying the FFTC I did last night. Sue me, I can't think of any others.
1. I have no desire to own a pet. Sure, I like cats and dogs, but I find them to be a lot of work. I guess I've always been indifferent to pets. My parents bought a puppy when I was 10 because my brother who was 1 loved dogs. Then, all of a sudden, it was part of my chores to walk the dog twice a day, feed it twice a day and sometimes pick up poop. I was like, umm...I never asked for the puppy, why do I have extra chores? Sure, I loved my dog. But I don't think I could take care of one like it deserves to be. Not to mention, I don't think I could afford one.
As for cats, they shed and I hate cat litter.
Oh, and a hampster bit me while I was hampster sitting once.
And I hate reptiles. The freak me out.
2. I had no pumped milk and I needed time to myself. I left Jacob with FI and went to eat at subway, buy movie tickets and do some shopping. It was sooo good.
That meant that Jacob had 4 ounces of formula for the first time before bed. And it was just because I wanted to go out.
I don't feel guilty. But I feel guilty that I'm not feeling guilty. kwim?
3. I didn't shower for 2 and a half days until I finally showered last night. I was stinky.
Okay, here it goes:
Before baby I was an animal lover, to the point where we ended up with two dogs by taking them in as strays on a whim. We had three dogs now and they have always been my "babies". However, I find myself now on a a daily basis so.f'n.annoyed at them (their barking, their shedding, their hyper activity inside the house after baby is asleep) and have slightly started to resent their existence. I know, it's a horrible thing to say, but I work, take care of a household, now have a child and the three dogs to top it off. It's a lot and I know it's what I signed up for, but geez...end of FFC.
1. I think a lot of FFFCs are more AW comments than true confessions. (I've been guilty of it once or twice)
2. I like Twilight but I do not think the books or the movies have any intrinsic quality. They are both very fun and enjoyable but BECAUSE they are cheesy and trite, not because they were well-written.
I don't want my mil to visit for Thanksgiving. I don't want her to hold dd. I don't want her near dd. I don't care to see mil for a long long time. I want to keep my dd away from her. My mom is the only grandma she needs for both grandma things and as a roll model.
I think I'm slowly developing a late onset of PPD. I just can't seem to get my emotions together.
Sometimes I want to stop BFing so that I don't have to pump at work but then I feel guilty and decide not to.
Also, We are going to DH's aunt's for Thanksgiving, but DS cries when she hold him because she is so loud. In a way, I feel bad but I really don't like her holding him or trying to get all the attention while holding him.
I feel the same way sometimes. I hate pumping at work.
Plus, sometimes I just want my damn boobs back.
You're so right and I think I'm guilty, too.
I resolve to work on this and be more repentant on FFFC day.
(in a very loud voice) I totally agree !!! and the really great part about it is when we decide to have #2 if it's a boy everything I have for the early stages is gender neutral
I have another:
I really resent my "BFF". She's only visited once and she swears that we need to get together. She live 5 mins away! When she had her baby I visited all the time just to keep her company.
Katie, I hate my cat and want to give him to my cousin. Is that bad? He's old and when he gets mad at us he pees on the kitchen floor. I can't take it!
My FFFC..... Hmmmm. I update my Twitter or Facebook status while I'm driving sometimes. Never while C is in the car, but I still shouldn't do it. But I do.
C Mo's confession made me think:
I was pretty thin immediately following Baby D's birth because of all the medical sh!t that went down. For a few months I actually weighed less than I did pp. Now I feel like I've gained arse loads of weight back. And I obsess over it. And I have skipped meals over it. And this isn't me.
I have a doc appointment on Tuesday.
I rehomed my beta fish to FIs 11 year old cousin. lol.
Ha! Reminds me of how we didn't want to know, but the tech decided to tell us "Looks like it's a girl!" without asking us or any warning at all! I started crying and she asked me "Oh, did you want a boy?"
I would "rehome" DH's smelly dog in a heartbeat if he'd let me.
Here is another:
I have been at work since 8:45 and all I have done is pumped and bumped. Sweet.
I bought DD some for our trip in hopes that it will help keep her socks on her feet and out of her mouth. Maybe it won't work?
i hate my cat now that ds is here.
I feel the same way towards my 2 dogs. DH always said that "things would change" once DS came. Well, he was right. Even though I HATE to admit it.
Okay, here's mine:
My in-laws annoy the hell out of me! I know, I know, not a great confession, but the thing is that DH's parents are the nicest people I know. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. I really have no explanation for it at all. I think it's that our parents live in the same town and when we visit, I just want to stay at my house and visit with my family. I don't let the annoyance show, I just wish it weren't there.
Me too - minus the pumping. And I'm trying to get Britney Spears' "If You Seek Amy" out of my head so I'm singing the Oscar Meyer weiner song at my desk.
I agree you don't need to know the sex of the baby to be prepared...
Here is mine
I HATE that stores ask you to donate when you pay- hate it. It makes me feel awful to say no "do you want to help children?, "do you want to help homeless pets?" "do you want to help feed 3rd world countries?" Who the heck wants to answer no to those questions?
Of course I believe in charity, and we donate and give on our own- I hate that every time I buy something I have to say yes or no- and depending on my mood I am guilted into saying yes or feel like a jerk for saying No, I don't want to help children. And I realize this is a great thing b/c it raises more money b/c of the guilt factor- but it still really annoys me.
Proud mama to a boys- 6/17/09 - a girl 2/23/11- and a boy 8/20/12
Yeeeeah....we have a cat we used to worship. Ever since DD was born, she has become WAY more needy (because we pay WAY less attention to her). She starts meowing at us the SECOND we wake up. She is constantly under our feet and rubbing our legs. It actually makes me feel really guilty. I do love my kitty....I'm just kinda sick of her.
I am known among friends as the 'crazy cat lady' because we have 4 cats and used to foster kittens as well. When one of our cats gets angry, she pees on the BED - right in the same spot every time (where DH sleeps). We have a waterproof pad - but this week I was washing the sheets and she got med for some strange reason and she crapped right on the mattress!!! I almost threw her right out the door.
I SO hear you. I was thrilled when DD fussed when my cousin (who she has never seen before) took her out of my arms last weekend.
This is me, too! Go Team Green!
LOL! Love it.
