I absolutely love the holidays! I am an absolute mess right now in tears, as I miss my Dad terribly. I think it has gotten worse now that I have a son. My parents were divorced and my Dad was remarried when he lost his battle to cancer. I am jealous of all of you who have a Dad. It makes me sad to hear stories about negative relationships that you have with your Dad. Totally wish that my Dad were here. It's been 5.5 years since his death and the pain gets worse over time, not better. Hug your Dad for me, because I sure do wish that I had a Dad to hug right now!

krys2729:
the phrase that kate moss recently coined, "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels", has really helped me to not overindulge. and while i think her saying it is somewhat laughable, i think it is so completely true.

just an fyi, she did not 'coin' that phrase, i heard people saying that at weight watchers back in the 80s, long before her skinny a$$ was a model!!

Mine is dumb, but oh well.

The next person who asks me if DD is walking yet, and then gives a look of astonishment and/or superiority when I say no, and then follows it up with "well, she'll do it when she's ready, all in their own time" is going to get punched in the face.

If you (general you) really don't think there's some arbitrary time at which they should be walking, you wouldn't have had the non-verbal reaction that you did. Sorry, but I take that as a judgment on my kid.

Oh, and I don't need any smug_ass comments from you about how your son walked at 10 months, but your daughter didn't until 10.5 months, so it's normal and you understand what it's like. Again, if you thought it was "normal" for her to not be walking, you wouldn't have had the reaction you did. Idiot.

My DD only started walking a month ago and I feel your pain. DH aunt while we were out vacationing in Ontario actually asked Madi in baby talk why she is such a lazy baby. My heart broke over that.

The bump needs to make a new board :Pregnant moms, and possibly merge it with 2 under 2 since most people have their babies 2-3 years apart anyway and a lot of the posts would probably be the same. I dunno..is there a huge difference in 2 under 2 and 2 under 2.5? The conversation would probably be the same.

Also delete a few of the crappier boards like nurseries and baby gear, health and exercise, merge 0-3 and 3-6 again..and maybe put the photography board on the nest because it seems dumb on the bump.

Just my 2 cents. Most of the people on the tri boards are annoying and stupid and I would never post there when I get pregnant again. It'd be nice to have somewhere to post that's not here [for the reasons other posters brought up] or on 2u2 since mine will be a min of 27 months apart.

yeah, just what this place needs....another board.

TMs1stBaby · December 2009

*Bre*:
I guess maybe I should be more specific. I like BFP announcements. I like "i'm going into labor" I like "big u/s" and the like. Basic updates about how people are doing. I guess the ones that annoy me are the ones that are questions about pregnancy "is this normal" "can I eat this" sorts of posts. Those, to me, are better suited for the tri boards. As I said before, as long as I know what they are and can avoid them, then I do and it doesn't matter. I don't like being tricked into reading a pregnancy post

This I get....

Amrice78 · December 2009

I also agree with Lori and Tess and I'm kind of sad and feel like I'm not welcome anywhere at them moment. The people on third tri don't "know" me and a lot of people here don't want to here about it. That kind of sucks.

mrsmatto · December 2009

I think I sometimes resent DH for not having a better job (with benefits). If he did, I wouldn't have to go back to work next month. I'm a teacher and the only reason I'm going back is for the health insurance (most of my salary will pay for the nanny.) It kills me that someone else will spend all day with DD instead of me. Sad

Disneygeek77 · December 2009

I am embarassed but last night I heard the rumor that Michelle Duggar had her baby at 25 weeks. I spent the next hour on the internet trying to figure out if it was true. When I realized it probably was true I cried. I don't know why. We watch their show but I don't know them. I have never met them. THey are strangers to me.

I suppose it brought back all these memories of when my first was born and my heart was aching for them and I also feared the eventual backlash they were going to receive. I was sitting here thinking about Michelle who is probably petrified for the welfare of her baby and wondering if she is blaming herself.

My Dad passed away from cancer 10 years ago last month. I miss him every single day. I wish he had met his grandchildren, I know how much he would have loved them.

I'm on team Tess and Lori.

I'm not PG, and I haven't ever suffered a loss, but I know when I DO ... you can bet I'll be here on THIS board with my friends. Not back on the tri boards with a bunch of over zealous, worked up, have-too-much-time-on-their-hands, first time moms. I don't even think you can compare your first and second pregancies ... and seriously, how many people on the 1st tri board are going to 'get' a post like :

'This is my first bump, WOW, look at my second bump!'

'How do I tell my toddler about a new sibbling'

'My m/s is WAY worse this time ...'

etc etc etc.

This is a general board for people with toddlers. And really, I wouldn't want to go through my next pregnancy without y'all.

kelbrian:
I get that people feel bad if their kid isn't doing something that another's is doing, but I think it's silly to make them feel bad for it. Sometimes I feel like I can't share on here because someone will claim that I am lying or I will make someone feel bad. I think that's ridiculous.

Me too.

femmeftle9 · December 2009

kelbrian:

I think that the little boy that I watch is a certified perv, and I am going to email his mom about him trying to wank off next or in front of me. I can't take that crap any more.

Yeah, I wouldn't tell the father... from what you said he may beat him for that

And since it looks like this is going to be another all about pregnancy thread, I am out of here.

I wish we could have one day that this wasn't the 4th tri.

This is kinda my confession too. I don't mind the pregnant ladies talking about their pregnancies here since I couldn't imagine going back to the tri boards either. But I do feel like I don't have much in common with most people on the board anymore so my interest in it is waning...

I am enjoying the D&R board these days though! lol

Ditto your ditto Judah's. I haven't suffered a loss like redstars (so sorry again), but I just feel like I don't fit in here because I'm not KU'd. I have no interested in being pregnant right now and frankly, all the "POAS", "BFP!!!", and "Ugh, m/s" posts are unrelatable for me. I know the tri boards suck right now, but all the pregnancy stuff can be blah to those of us who aren't pregnant or painful to those who have suffered a recent loss or are having TTTC. Not saying that people shouldn't post about the 2nd pregnancies here, just that this board is kind of becoming the "2 under 3 Board" or something.

So, yeah, I've been here less and less, and I think that trend will continue.

*Edited because "annoying" wasn't the word I was looking for and I wanted to clarify and sound less biitchy.

I hate my cats and if it wouldn't cause a riff in my marriage - they would be gone. I fully acknowledge that this makes me an irresponsible pet owner and I don't care.
I hate that their hair is all over the place, I hate the hairballs they spit up, I hate the little teeny tiny pieces of litter that they track all around. I hate that they climb on my furniture - yesterday, one of them climbed onto of my kitchen cabinets. I hate them.
I know they did this before I had my kid but since having her, I feel like my house is one big cat bed and it's nasty.
I hate them.

I could have wrote this exactly. I feel bad, but they make me very angry now.

IckyThump · December 2009

thomas&lynn:

DD is so obnoixous lately out in public that I am embarrased. To remedy the situation I have decided I need to do even more things with her so she becomes more "socialized" but I absoultely dread it. Before going to story time today I made up about 6 different reasons/excuses why I shouldn't go because I was honestly not up to the challenge. But I still went.

And, yes, it was pretty bad.

Part of my confession is that I want to do these things for DD but also for me, I love meeting new people and I really need to find some friends........but when she acts like that I notice none of the parents stop to chat with me afterwards or even make eye contact with me I'm mad at myself for getting so frustrated because this has pretty much been my first real challenge as a parent with DD........and it's so hard for me. I'm dissapointed with myself and I wish and hope that #2 is easy going so that I don't flip my sh!t with two similarly spirited children.

The other part of my confession is that this parenting challenge has got me to thinking about not SAH anymore once #2 is here. I just need more help teaching DD these important social skills. I'm sure she can sense I'm feeling frustrated with the situation and that's not going to help anyone either

I could have written this post. DS becomes an absolute terror if we attend a playgroup or class that's even slightly structured. Trying to encourage him to do circle time or stand when it's time to stand, etc., only causes him to throw a tantrum. Half of the time we end up in a corner with me trying to soothe him and calm him down, or we just leave. I'm looking forward to working and putting DS in daycare soon - I think he needs to be away from me for at least part of the day and I feel like I need help getting him through this phase.

My dad died 19 yrs ago of cancer. I was only 15. I like to think that my father met my daughter before she was born. That somehow my dad met all his grandchildren that where born after he passed & he was able to pass on some of himself to them before they came to us. My niece & nephew included. It helps me to cope with the fact that he didn't get to meet her. He would of adored her.

I agree. I'm not a "regular", but I think that the ladies on this board are supportive even if you aren't a regular. When I found out that I was pg in September, I went to the 1st tri board and hated it. Then I had a m/c and between 1st tri, the loss board and this board, I found that the most supportive people were on this board.

Sure, it sometimes gets to me when I see a lot of posts about pregnancy, but that's my issue. I'm happy for everyone who is pregnant and when I can handle it, I happily read the posts. It makes me excited for when I get pg again. And when that does happen, I can't imagine being on any other board.

Seriously, this is why I never come on here anymore.

Also if you were using pull and pray and are upset you're pregnant. I just, I just have nothing to say to you. At all.

cotner · December 2009

I don't know if anyone posted this or not, but there is a 2u2 board. I'll admit it is slow, but very helpful. God knows you we could use more posts over there besides "What Double Stroller?" It's the first board I check when I get on. Maybe we could start posting the pregnancy related questions there and get more traffic, and I don't think anyone would care if you won't technically be 2u2.

littleittybitty · December 2009

VERY late but I will add:

My H and I have had sex once in the past 2 months. I was sick for a week, then my period... then sex once... period last week and sick again.

I am sick of masterbating; I want the real thing. I talk myself out of finding alternate measures but I am this close. I would have never though about an affair but lately it has been crossing my mind - Baby J keeps me sane. I also keep talking myself out of divorce over lack of sex... or should I?

We have talked about this - he is extremely stressed and busy with a bunch of crap (family, work, etc) and just does not have time for me. He swears up and down it's not me but all him. I am sick of waiting for him because it's not getting me anything. But in a way I guess I am so used to not having sex that it isn't a big deal any longer.

I hate it.

I agree. Once my cats die, I won't be getting any more. I am sick of all the litter , hairballs and attitude peeing on things.

ditto. but replace cat with dog and we are all set.
