I get irrationally irritated by people who have screen names like "So-and-So'sMommy" or "Husband'sGirl", etc. Seriously? Do you not have your own identity?

I went on Etsy yesterday to look for a gift for my SIL's shower (something that she really wanted).

Well, I found these REALLY cute bloomers & realized that they only had 1 left. Sooooooooo

Yep, I bought them for my baby. LOL I had no intention on buying my LO anything until I read that there was only ONE left...impulse.

I wrote the seller an email later explaning to her that I needed 1 more & she wrote me back saying that she does have more. Thank goodness...

I'm incredibly angry at DH right now for the pettiest of things. He doesn't even know I'm mad at him.

I've gained ten lbs. in two months and feel disgusting. Yet I have absolutely no motivation to do anything about it.

STBXH hadn't paid the last two weeks worth of child support. I rely on that to buy food, diapers and pay a few utilities. My attorney contacted his to try and straighten it out, but he ignores her. So I finally emailed his mother yesterday and kindly said for her to tell her son to grow up, pay his child support, or I'd see to it he'd sit in jail over Easter. Yep, he came and paid yesterday afternoon. She probably thinks I'm the biggest biatch in the world, but at this point, I don't care.

This is really sad but I can't stand my sister. I can't stand to be around her, I can't stand to hear about her, I would be better off to not know her. There were never two people that were so different. She is 21 and has been in jail more times than I can count. She thinks it's funny and brags about it. She most recently got a DUI. The most frusterating and sad part is that she has a little boy who is 1. She was a pretty good mom at first but then the novelty of having a baby wore off. She doesn't work, she floats from place to place until she doesn't want to listen to whoever's house rules anymore. I get so frusterated with my family that I don't even like to talk to them anymore. They are the biggest enablers and it's always Lauren this and Lauren that. I get SOOOO sick of hearing about it!!!! It has been this way my whole life. She has always had ALL the attention. I guess I am biter, annoyed, and mad for baby boy who has to grow up with a mom like that. It's all pretty sad actually.

Just coming off the news of the DUI so I guess it brought up all these feelings again. And the fact that once again my gram made excuses for her and her behavior. It's horrible because I love my gram like crazy but half the time I don't want to answer her calls b/c I don't want to hear the crap.

My husband could have written this post word for word. Just change out Lauren and insert his brother's name. Right down to the jail time, one year old, DUI, and constant attention/ excuses from family. The ONLY differences here is that he is 25 instead of 21 and of course male.

My jaw dropped when I read this post because the stories were EXACTLY the same. He got the DUI a while ago instead of recently, but still weird. He didn't work, but just started a job about a week ago. He has ALWAYS had the attention too. My husband is and has always been constantly overlooked because he always made the right decisions. I'm not sure how he stayed on the right path because it seems he didn't get a lot of positive re-enforcement for those decisions.

I can total relate to what you're saying, at least second-hand. I'm so sorry.

I think sex during pregnancy should be banned. Like sushi and beer.

JReeds9 · March 2010

I am in a horrible pissy "Eff the world" mood today. I slept through my alarm so I missed my chance to go for a morning run which means I may not get to run at all because it's chilly & windy and I don't like to bring DD out when it's cold. Woke up to a nice break out on my face. And the thing that's bothering me most of all is I feel like my best friend is "dropping" me.

I hardly ever hear from her at all anymore unless it has to do with her wedding. I can see her making comments to others friends of hers about being excited for girls nights and when I ask her when WE are going to have a girls night she tells me how busy she is and it's too bad that I do't get out of work until 8 on Fridays & Saturdays because those are the only nights she has free and "8 is so late". I understand she is busy, I really do but I don't think 8 is that late. I work in town and it would take less then 10 minutes to meet up somewhere after I get out. I'm 100% positive that the "girl's night" she is having this Friday will just be getting started when I get out of work considering she works til 6:30 then has to go home,shower and change. I think I just need to accept the fact that she just really into the friendship like she was before I had DD. Whatever, I'm done putting time & effort in ( that takes away from my family time) when she obviously doesn't care.

*Mush* · March 2010

I am home today and I put DS is daycare ::gasp!::

in fact, I do this on a regular basis. All those people who got up in arms about putting LO in daycare while the mom stays home would probably really hate me, lol.

Lucky_Dragonfly · March 2010

I have 2 more hours at work until I can leave. I don;t feel like doing a single thing so I am not going to because the witch err boss is out today .I'm going to sit on here and chat and just save the work for me to have something to do on Monday.

fIowerchild · March 2010

I think mine's juicy.

My little one is all set and signed up to start daycare next week. But I'm not going back to work until the week following. That's right, all week to myself, both boys in daycare. Surprise

hmm...I don't know that I agree with this. I was more interested in sex when I was pregnant than any other time in my life.

My FFFC...I love the Glee version of "Bust a Move." I listen to it over and over again on my way to work every day. I turn down the volume as a pull into the parking lot so that none of my co-workers overhear me.

Sammy-Mae · March 2010

I lost a picture cd my aunt asked me to make a copy of. It's of my cousin's wedding. I have ripped my kitchen apart and can't find it. I know it was in there but am afraid that DH may have tossed it. I am trying to find a way to tell my aunt but am too much of a chicken to fess up. DH and I plan to check the whole house for it when we have an actual free weekend.

I would do that too if I could. I take my daughter to the Y every day just so I can get a break for 1 or 2 hours. Daycare is good for them IMO.

ggbean · March 2010

I know my mom doesn't like me and the feeling is mutual. She is unstable and irrational. I was miserable growing up because of her constant negativity and criticism. The only reason I maintain a relationship with her outside of holidays is for DS. She's adores him, and he is crazy about her. But if she starts that competitive, judge-y crap with him when he gets older, I won't hesitate to put the wall back up and keep them apart.

Stellasmom · March 2010

I feel like I'm depriving DS of needed socialization by having him home with me 5/days per week and with my Mom 2/days per week when I'm working.

When he's with me I try to take him to playdates, playgrounds, out in public in general....but I feel like the daycare kids are probably miles ahead of him socially and it makes me sad.

miss.jess · March 2010

Maybe someone can enlighten me, but I don't understand why people still have their child is some sort of toddler/baby bath at this point. DD is a small girl and she loves being in the big tub. She loves to scoot back and forth and play with her toys and at the end she walks around and puts all her letters on the wall.

Not that anyone's child is suffering but I can't imagine still having her in a plastic tub!

i need to get back to doing that. i tried taking timmy to the gym for awhile but he freaked out so much. i would watch him on the monitors and he was fine after i left, but it flowed over into our everyday life and he got so clingy w/me alllll the time. it's terrible, b/c i know he needs to learn to be w/o me, but i couldn't handle the constant whining, crying, clinging.... so i stopped taking him. and now i'm too scared to take him back. and i could use the workout!

DD was the same way, I just kept bringing her and eventually it stopped and she looked forward to going. I took DS by himself the other day and was really nervous he would have a fit because big sis wasn't there to distract him, but he did great and played the entire time.

Just keep trying! I have to go for my own sanity.

hey when i choose to WFH or randomly stay home from work my nanny still comes over to watch dd, take her to music class and story time.

i think people that really get all up in arms about this are hilarious and probably trying to make themselves feel like better mothers. ::shrug::

Stellasmom · March 2010

Oh yeah, I almost always take DS to indoor play areas instead of parks, even when the weather is gorgeous, because I have to pay closer attention to him when he is outside.

There's no non-padded ground to fall on or mulch to eat at the mall.

unfortunately, I totally agree with you. I have been thinking, this will most likely be my last pregnancy. Can't he just suck it up for 9 months? He will never have to do it again. Of course, I won't say that to him and I will try to be a good wife. I am not one of those that LOVES pregnant sex.

I don't know what the term "helicopter parent" means. I see it on here all the time and I guess I can sorta figure it out from the context, but not 100%. I've never heard it IRL. Can someone help me out??

It just means you're hovering. I hear it mostly from coaches because some dads and moms are always on their kids about how they are playing, and on the coaches as well!

lisaroo · March 2010

Ah thanks

violetvirgo · March 2010

now one of my own.

i need to preface this by saying i am fully aware there are true cases of depression/ PPD/bi polar disorder/etc that need meds and real help

BUT....

i think there is a lot of over diagnosis of these things. i also think that a lot of time it's mind over matter type of thing. when people constantly complain about their weight or happiness or whatever and don't do ANYTHING to help remedy it, i am irked.

oh and...

i have an employee who is 24 on HBP and colesterol medication, complains about his weight constantly (he's gained 40lbs in one year - is a recent college grad), but eats garbage. if it weren't for him being so vain, he wouldn't even care about losing the weight b/c he seriously believes popping a pill to take care of the blood pressure and cholesterol is equally healthy to eating well and exercise. and guess how he's going to attempt weight loss....that's right...a pill. b/c running is just too heard. blech.

I feel the exact same way, especially about things like drinking from teh Sippy.

I often wonder if it was just coincidence that DD started walking while we were on a playdate with MBW and her LO.........

I wish we could work something out where DD could do PT day care.

i tried for 3 months straight- 2 days a week- she cried and cried and they would come get me! i just gave up and bought an ellipitical for home:( but we are sending her to a tot program to get over this!

I don't get this either! My bff was still bathing her daughter in the sink until she was almost 2! We keep DS in the bath seat thing which is going to work out well when he gets his tubes next week and we don't want his ears under water, but he can move around and is in the big tub.
