FFFC!!
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC!!
*I am slightly agitated by adults who are mega picky eaters. At least be glad you have food! This sentiment is exacerbated by my next confession:
* I think my husband eats like a 5-year-old. Not so much what he eats, but his meal preferences. He literally eats the same thing for lunch almost every day. I can predict exactly what he will eat to the T. He refuses to try anything new outside the realm of his palette. He complains if I change an ingredient in a dish or slightly alter how I cook something. Literally, it will ruin his whole meal. He easily spends $100+ a week eating out if I let him. All of the above makes me want to beat him on a regular basis.
*I miss my corporate self. I found out last week that someone who I used to work with who is my same age and was a peer of mine was just promoted to SVP of Marketing and it made me sick to my stomach. And I hate even feeling jealous or envious. It is so out of my nature. But it made me realize I totally miss certain aspects of climbing the corporate ladder. LOVE being home with my baby and wouldn't have it any other way, but I am SOO not about to just be a stay at home mom. Some are fulfilled by that, but I am not. So I've been rethinking a lot of things about how I spend my time during the day.
* My kid is going to be a freaking kick boxer, she woke me up at 3 this morning just kicking away. Her kicks are really low in my pelvis area, it feels like she's kicking my cervix on the inside. The FF part is that I'm worried she's going to break my water and I'm going to go into labor early. Because I'm so paranoid about this I won't have sex with TJ and I feel bad for the guy. He told me, "Isn't it supposed to be the guy who is afraid of silly things like that?"
* One of the reasons I'm so glad we are having a girl: I won't have to deal with a future DIL who might hate me. I'm lucky, I love my MIL, but almost all of my married friends cannot stand theirs. It seems like guys usually don't really care much about their IL's either way.
* The setting fell off of my wedding band (the whole thing luckily, so only the diamonds on each end were lost since I found the setting). We haven't even been married for 3 years. I picked the ring out and know it wasn't cheap, so it really pisses me off that it broke. We're taking it in tomorrow (another jeweler looked at it and said there is no reason it should have broke like that), and if the place we bought it won't fix it I'm going to go crazy pregnant biitch on them. I'm 5 months pregnant, I need a wedding ring damn it!

It's a GIRL! Lydia Marie!
Ha! I think about this a lot from the "I will have two DIL's someday" perspective. I hope they let me come wedding dress shopping, include me in their wedding planning, allow me to be a part of holidays, don't take my sons off to some far-off state that I don't ever get to visit...I so need to get along with my future DILs!
I am beyond furious with my husband today. I told him he needed to find a place to stay tonight.
I'm having the worst day.
Ugh. Mine is so dumb and petty, but...
I wish my husband would give up his antisocial facade. He is not antisocial, but for some reason always likes to pretend that he is. I consider myself truly antisocail (not that I think it's healthy). I don't like to even socialize with a group of people that I consider close friends. One or two maybe, several...too social. I don't like to go to church activites although I do push myself to do it on occasion. Now, my husband on the other hand is telling me that he is probably going to go to a young marrieds' activity tonight by himself. I told him I don't want to go. He said that was fine, but he was going because the group leader thinks he is going to be there. I told him that I was sure that the group leader guy would understand that he's driving home from Kingston tonight after working out in the mud and yuck all day, going to the church to build some scaffold so they can change some lightbulbs, and that he'll be tired after that...oh yeah, and that he's been out of town all week and hasn't seen his family. I think all he has to do is say that and the guy will totally understand. He says he feels obligated to go, but I know he truly wants to go. If he were to say to me, "Hey, I'd like to go to this activity, wanna come"? I'd put on my fake smile and try to have a good time, but he makes it seem like, "Oh, I know you don't want to go, but I am so important and popular and everyone expects me to be there, so with or without you, I can't miss it." The activity is for married COUPLES!
TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
Oh no! I hope you find ways to make the day better...i find lots of wine and ice cream help!
My FFFC is that this is me. I am a *horribly* fussy eater- a partial list of things I hate are most veggies (particularly onions), eggs, potatoes (except in crispy fry/chip form), cheesecake, whipped cream, beans, mangoes, mayonnaise...the list goes on. I have a super strong gag reflex and some of these things just cause so much gagging that I can't even go there. I am trying to be a better eater for my baby (and to help set a better example for when she starts eating solids) but I am just too wimpy about some things. At least DH has found a decent broccoli recipe that I can manage to eat, so we're doing that semi-frequently for some greens...it's better than nothing. I would love to get past some of these aversions but I just don't even know how to start. Though at least hating cheesecake/mayo/whipped cream has saved me a lot of calories over the years.
I am so so so so so sorry!!!!!! HUGS!!!!!!!!!!
Oh no! Hugs to you!

This sounds super frustrating. Hugs to you.

I never thought about it that way! I was always a little sad to not have a daughter, but now I'll be praying my DIL's like me and want me to go dress shopping too!

Yep, thought about it too!
Yeah, I've thought about that too!
I'm really sorry.
I know how you feel. None of our parents came to my boys' first birthday. They all would have had to travel, but we were really hurt that they all had a year to save up for it and when it came down to it, nobody made the effort. It just sucks when you expect your parents of ALL people to be there! Hugs!!
This is ten kinds of awesome. I usually don't have the balls to talk to people like that when I probably should.
* I am so afraid that when I find out the gender of this baby, I will be disappointed. At the same time, I can't decide if there's a gender I'd prefer, so I just feel like a crazy pregnant lady.
* I am SO jealous of all the other gals who have already felt their babies move by this point in their pregnancies. I know it's really early, but it makes me freak out that something is wrong with mine.
* I could care less about what The Bump's major events in New York were like. Why would I want to look at pictures of a bunch of people I will never meet going to a movie premiere?
Here goes...
* I POAS yesterday. After weeks of never getting enough to eat, phantom baby kicks and getting fatter, I psyched myself out. Thankfully it was negative - we are SO not ready (mentally, physically, financially) for another kid. But I was a little sad that it meant the getting fatter thing was all about the food.
* I get paranoid about the most random sh!t. Like if Lila's napping and I go out to get the mail I have to take my keys with me because I'm sure I'm going to get locked out somehow. Or if I'm putting something in a public mailbox I'm sure that my wedding ring will fall in. So stupid.
* I sometimes wonder what I would do if I found out that Target was doing something awful with their profits. Like, if they were funding Al Qaeda or something. I spend way too much time and money there. Could I just stop cold turkey?
Ummm, yeah you are. I so wish this was me!

A couple of days ago I parked up outside a local store - I live in Wallingford - and started getting Jack out of the car. As I was doing this, a woman parked her car next to me; she had a boy in the car who looked around 2 - he was fast asleep. This woman lept out of her car, left the child in the car with the engine running and ran into the store. She was gone for maybe five minutes. There was no way she could even have kept an eye on the car while she was in the store. I am totally ashamed to say that I was so tempted to just get in her car and drive it somewhere a little bit away where she couldn't see it so that when she came out of the store she would have thought that someone had taken it. I'm even more ashamed that I didn't say anything to her when she came back out again.
I know that the child was sleeping and that it can be a pain waking them up when you have to get out of the car, but I mean, COME ON LADY!!
My sister fired her previous nanny for this. The nanny was dropping off the 4-yr-old at preschool and didn't feel like getting the other 2 (infant & toddler) out of the car. She had to park half-way down the block b/c of all the parents dropping off kids. She left the younger 2 in the car and took the 4 yo inside into his classroom (not just at the front door). When my sister asked her how it went taking the boys that morning, knowing it's hectic, she said it was easy and she left the 2 youngest in the car. My sister went apeshit and told her she was fired and never to come back.

I think this is why they have arranged marriages in some countries. I can definitely see the appeal.

That is right! You are 100% entitled to throwing her that party! Good for you for sticking up for you and G.
These are all very natural feelings. I would be more worried about you if you did not have these feelings. I think I cried everyday for 3 weeks and then one day my husband said to me "you didn't cry today". After that your hormones start to regulate. It is hard. It is just hard to take a shower and forget about drying your hair. I promise it gets way better and it will soon. Let us know if you need any help. I will keep you in my prayers.
I could help you accomplish this!
I am in Spokane this weekend for DH's friend's wedding and his cousin happens to be graduating from HS Sunday (the wedding is Sat)...our plan was to come home Sunday so we could avoid Monday's traffic and be back in our own home...BUT ....Dh's aunt made a huge fuss to his mom about how she went to the extra trouble to get us tickets to the graduation Sunday. We were already roped into going to brunch at 11 for it, now we have to sit through a graduation at 4..with a 2 month old!! Why does she even think we would want to do this?? And to top it off everyone is 'scared' of saying anything to piss of DH's aunt so no one will say we can't or aren't going ... I secretly hope Hudson screams the whole time and we have to leave .. or that I have to start nursing him in the middle of the ceremony.....
Because I'm so frustrated with all this I'm not even enjoying visiting with the IL's and feel like I'm holding this all against Dh's mom ... ugh!
Sweetie, I'm sorry. That adjustment period is harder than anyone can ever convey. I love my girl too, but yeah - being a parent is tough stuff. The worry, the hormones. I don't have any advice but it does get better, I promise. You and your guy are in survival mode; once you get the hang of things you can start being real people again. We're here for you...cry, whine, vent, rant away!

I can be 30 this year, and the year after that, and the year after that if it means I get to hang out with strippers and CG. DYNOMITE!

I am, DH and is but honestly if I don't have a daughter and my sons all marry men (or don't marry) , I'll be a little sad I don't ever get to go wedding dress shopping again ! He's got years to warm up to it but we talk about it often. It's all about me afterall, right!?!?
I wish I could be laid back and relax and just enjoy but I can't help but get anxious and want to be sick so we can back out.....
Sorry it's kinda long....
I am incredibly tired of everyone either telling me to eat more or telling me not to eat so much. I lost 6lbs in the first tri, and apparently another 2lbs in the last two weeks. I was told that M/S ended after the first tri. WRONG. If I eat more than 5 or 6 bites at a time I get sick. This means that I almost always have food in front of me so that I remember to eat more often. I'm really trying to stop losing weight and making sure I get enough calories.
My aunt was in town staying with us for a few days and last night started chewing me out for eating so much. I wasn't even eating junk! There is nothing wrong with carrot sticks!! She kept telling me that I was going to swell into such a cow. DUH I'm preggo...that's kind of the point. But then she went on to say that I was never going to look preggo cause I was already 'obese' (yeah...I know...I had 15lbs I needed to lose before becoming preggo). Never mind the fact that I've already got a cute little bump going on. Anyways, I kicked her out of my house (with DH's help) and told her where the closest hotel was, even made a reservation for her. Then my dad calls and chews me out for being rude to family (I've only met this particular aunt twice previously). ARRGH!
I think my hormones are going to drive my family away cause I totally lost it on my dad too and I'm not normally a person who likes conflict. Normally I probably would have just sat on the phone and said 'uh huh' and done my own thing anyways. Instead, I get into an argument with him that ends when my mom gets on, says she'll talk to him and hangs up. Good thing I love DH's family and they love me...
~ I was done at work at 12 today but stayed til 3 and just hung out. I am not use to having DH home ALL.THE.TIME and I can't handle it. While I missed T a ton, and wanted to see him I couldn't bring myself to go home just then. Plus I really enjoy the company of my co workers.
~ I really really want to have another baby, and would love to get pregnant. It sucks not knowing for certain what our financial situation will be.
~ I went to Bert's tavern (LOL in it's self) last night and sat at the bar by myself for a good 20mins waiting for my friend(s). First time EVER I've ever sat in a bar by myself. And I was the hottest thing in there...(ok so what if most of them were over 50)....
I fear this also. I just am determined to be a good MIL. the kind that my sons wife could possibly love even more than thier own mother! LOL
when at home I cant go #2 if the shower curtain isnt closed.
Back in the day (the party years) I couldnt pee anywhere in Pioneer Square, The bathrooms totally grossed me out. I would walk to a place about 4 city blocks away to use thier bathroom. my friends still make fun of me for it.
I LOVE Berts! We used to go there ALL.THE.TIME! And ya, its the place to go when you need a self esteem boost for sure!
