Flame Free Friday Confessions!!!

00tedsgirl · January 2011

I have no sympathy for any woman complaining about her SO being gone overnight. Yes, this is the life I chose because I love my husband, but I think adults should be capable of being alone a night or two, or even seven, without falling apart.

I can't stand it when eople don't prune the quotes they are responding to. When the quote box shows up with one letter per line, you're quoting too far back. Trim out the unnecessary and repetitive stuff so I don't have to use this stupid touchpad on the laptop so much!

#1) I'm jealous of all the people who already know if they are having a boy or a girl. I'm in the tail end of the July group (due July 30th) so I'm always 4 fruits behind a whole bunch of people. Then, of course, as soon as I finally hit a ticker change they do too and I'm like MAN a new fruit I have another 4 weeks to get to. Right now it's sweet potatoes. It's like a competition I can't compete in.

#2) I'm jealous of all the stay at home moms. Not an option for me right now.

#3) I just turned 32 and feel OLD to be having my first. I hope I can relate OK to my kid, especially when they are in high school and I will seem ancient to them.

#4) I haven't told my parents I'm pregnant yet. Terrified of their reaction since we aren't married yet. Wedding is March 5th.

My Friday confession: I take a bath with my husband at least twice a week. I think we bathe together more than any other couple. LOL.

My second Friday confession: I just graduated college in December with a degree in education and the last thing I can imagine myself doing at this point is being a teacher.

Yes My husband and I get our showers together each morning. We both refuse to get up earlier than the other just to get a shower first. We're both stubborn!

1) As soon as I walked through the door today I caught my dog chewing on my $130 lululemon cardigan and I wanted to beat the sh*t out of her. But I know it was my own damn fault for leaving it out!

2) Im about to eat a piece of cheesecake while I take a bath.

I have one more to add. I used to have a great relationship with my FIL and SMIL. They live about 20 mins down the road from us. Since late August they have gotten on my last nerve. It started out when I rode with DH to meet FIL to pick up some crap SMIL bought at a yard sale. I wasn't feeling good (can we say m/s in the afternoon?) so I sat in the truck. Apparently I "hurt" SMIL's feelings for not getting out of the truck and speaking to her. Um, she didn't go out of her way to speak to me either. Since then, FIL has twice, called me fat and lazy, even though I've lost 8 pounds and not gained anything since we found out I was pregnant. DH and I are in the process of moving to my hometown, they are telling me they support us and understand why we are moving (better jobs) all the while, they are telling DH they think its all a big mistake! Last year, SSIL was pregnant and by the time she was 24 weeks (like I am now) the IL's had bought her a brand new travel system, crib, tons of clothes, baby items, ect AND threw her a shower that I helped give. They have not said 1 word to me or DH about anything regarding getting anything for the baby. They havent asked if we need or want anything, if we are registered, if we are having a shower...NOTHING. It really pisses me off. They never call us like they used to; don't ask us to come out like they used to. So I don't know if they are pissed becaue we are moving or pissed because I didn't say hello that day. I dunno. Just so frustrating.

I had a large Coke from Wendy's today....

I had a snow day yesterday and spent about 90% of it in bed watching crap on TV. I never got dressed past the point of PJ's.

I have a 2 week rotating schedule, so I have a different boss/manager/whatever for each of those 2 weeks. One of them is a woman who used to be a part of the team before Shaw's fired all of their Team Leaders, and I liked her then and got along with her and all, but she kinda sucked. So now she is a Team Leader and she sucks even more now, she has no managerial experience whatsoever and if she needs to tell the team something, she goes through the guy she works with every week(the rest of us only work with her every other week) or she goes through me. This week she tells me that we weren't even supposed to be working because they had put off all the projects they had scheduled for this week and that my boss was supposed to tell me this. Well, I talked to me boss today and (confirmed what I already knew) she has no idea what's going on at the team level!

It upsets me that I get flamed almost every time I post on TB, it makes me feel like a certifiable dumb$h!t. I've only ever asked for ideas or advice. I have never flat out asked "What is your opinion of me?" I had a rough childhood socially, so I really couldn't care less of what others think of me. DH loves me and my boss thinks I'm the most valuable employee she has(and has said so in so many words) and I don't need any validation above and beyond that.

I wish my FIL's GF would just disappear without a trace.

THIS!!! I haven't seen my husband since shortly after we got married, and I talk to him maybe twice a week (thank you air force). So when I see posts or hear people talking about how much they miss their husbands/so's after them being away for a week or so, I want to shake them and just yell, "BE THANKFUL YOU EVEN SEE YOURS!!!!"

Sorry that you feel "left out" by the July group. I think there are just a lot of people having elective u/s done early and that's why we're seeing all the "It's a ____" posts.

Tell your parents! Even if they are upset, telling them after the wedding won't change anything. They can do the math. Wink I'm married but once DH and I told our families, it was a huge weight lifted off our shoulders. I hated keeping it a secret from everyone.

I really think you will feel better to just get it out in the open. Besides, it's not 1956 - it's not a big deal to be unmarried and having a child. Obviously, your child's father will be in the picture and you are in love & will be married by the time you deliver! Screw everyone else who judges you.

Okay, seriously? After about a dozen people told you how ridiculously unacceptable it was to throw your own baby shower, you said that you still didn't see the harm in hosting one yourself. After it had been spelled out for you. You didn't want advice, you wanted validation, and you got mad when no one would give it to you.

FFFC - I think it's ridiculous when pregnant women think they're entitled to a baby shower. If no one wants to throw you one, no one wants to throw you one. Sure, most women want one, but it's not a right.

This. This exactly.

And also, DH and I shower 3-4 times a week together. Nothing sexual, just time together. Seeing that other women do this too makes me feel a little less weird about it.

I want to look like I'm 7 months pregnant so it is obvious and people give up their seats to me on the bus. I want a real bump so bad, though DH thinks I have one.

Good luck! I was at a technology conference at 8 months, pregnant, tired, carrying a backpack with my computer and supplies, and stood through 2 or 3 breakout sessions because no one would move over to open up a seat, or offer me theirs. Same happened in a long line at the restroom where i was literally doing the dance trying to make it until it was my turn.

1. I freaking HATE Facebook. I'm mad at myself for even having an account.

2. My mother just had her third round of plastic surgery. WTF. Who does that? We don't live in LA, nor is she rich. I was easy-going with her about it since I don't have the energy to give her the benefit of my opinion - which would just result in a blow up, again. But I must say that the time she had lipo and made me her caretaker and didn't let me tell any of her friends was Not Awesome. I love her, but the vanity is overwhelming. I feel ashamed of her and that is not a good feeling.

3. I still have m/s in the evenings at dinner time and I am pi$$ed that I am still unable to enjoy eating lustily of everything in sight as I did with my first pregnancy. And sweets still make me queasy - what a drag!
