FFC thread
I really resent when people (friends, coworkers, etc. Not anyone on here, since many are in the same boat as I am) complain about being tired after one or two nights of poor sleep. I have not slept more than 4 straight hours since October, and havent sttn since 2nd tri. I work 4 days a week ( 10 hour days). On my days off with DD, I nap as much as possible when she does, which is why I avoid making plans for those days as much as possible.

Re: FFC thread
I still have Christmas lights wrapped around my porch and around the front door. We've had plenty of time to take them down but we never use the front door so we keep forgetting about them.
I'm on way to being that house that keeps their Christmas lights up all year long
i selfishly had alex breastfeed this morning so she could take care of a clogged duct.
it worked. i love her even more now.

I posted this as a late night confession a couple days ago but it bears repeating. I hope that my son is fussy tomorrow when my MIL takes care of him. I don't like my MIL but she is the only family nearby (and they are an hour and a half away) She has watched him 2 times already and both times he cried himself to sleep and was all around miserable. My son is generally a very happy baby. He didn't cry at all the first day in daycare, or when I left him with my mom for a whole day. He cries with my MIL after 10 mins. I feel like if it happens again this weekend, a third time, I can then say that I don't want her to take care of him anymore. Don't get me wrong! I don't want DS to be sad, it breaks my heart to know that he's unhappy, but if it happens again, I think 3 times, is the charm. I have a valid reason to say, "SORRY! You can't sit anymore".
I have done this many times!
I could have written this myself. But I do work from home so it makes it a little better on my part. I just hate when SO comes home from a half day of work(pretty much an office job) after a full nights sleep and complains about being tired and takes a nap. .........im getting mad just thinking about it. ha
As a mom of twins it really pisses me off when people debate over CIO. (note- I said CIO, not FIO, I understand the difference). And both sides of the argument piss me off.
When I read about people who are against it: Does it mean that both my children will be scarred for life because there is only one of me and I can't pick up both of my girls at the same time when they are both upset? How do any multiples turn out alright then? For that matter, how does any parent with 2 kids manage if both of their children are upset? Do they go soothe the little one and leave the older one alone, who can actually understand that mommy is leaving them when they are upset? Or do they leave the little one who can't self-soothe?
And, when I read about those who are for it- I just can't believe anyone would make the choice to let their child cry. Again as a mommy who can't always get to both her babies when they are crying, I find it really hard to comprehend a person who could soothe their child but won't. I can't imagine doing this on purpose and it kills me when one of my girls is crying and stops before I can get to them, it makes me feel like they are giving up on mommy coming.
Boy it feels good to get that out. FFFs rule.
