Here's an afternoon one:

I still don't like Frost. Everytime I've gone in there they've run out of the doughnut that I want.

I much prefer to walk across the parking lot and get a bismark from Top Pot at the U Bookstore.

That's make out talk there.

there is a possibility that i might be pregnant! won't know until next week though.

Eek! Keep us posted!

preston18 · February 2011

I don?t bundle up my kid because of the car seat. He?ll be fine the 10 feet from our front door to the car and he?ll be fine the 30 feet from daycare to the car. Yesterday in the snow was the first time I ever put his coat on him for the ride home. I know daycare judges me.

I not so secretly admire Tiger Moms. I?m not a big fan of self esteem above all else. Conversely, I also think winners quit all the time?to go do what they?ll win at.

I judge people who don't dress their children appropriately for the weather yet they are dressed weather appropriate.

Last Saturday I observed a lady & her husband (both dressed in coats & the husband was wearing a knit cap) tote their baby (my age guess: 3 - 4 months) outside dressed in simply pants & a long sleeve onesie. Granted there was no snow last weekend but it was pretty cold. The baby just had a long sleeve onesie & pants - no hat, no socks, no blanket, no sweatshirt/coat!! yet the parents were dressed for cold weather.

That day my son was dressed in a hat, pants, sweatshirt & had a blanket in his car seat.
Where were they coming from? I used to judge people about this until I discovered the unmitigated joy of blowouts. Sometimes you get them all gussied up and weather proper, then they go and poop all of your work into oblivion.
I've stopped judging people for your FFFC on the off chance they were caught in a blow-out accident with no extra clothes available.

I honestly didn't think of a blow out. . .they were walking in the parking lot. You & my husband are right, I shouldn't jump to conclusions (although I have the jump to conclusions mat)

I'm a people person, dammit! I like people!
Sorry if I came across as b!tchy in my response to you earlier. I didn't mean to.

No I didn't take it that way at all! And besides anyone that can quote Office Space is okay in my book. I didn't want to sound like a witch with a b when I replied to your post in response to my post.
I do tend to jump to conclusions rather quickly sometimes.

*I think Trophy Cupcakes are way overrated. Cupcake Royale is WAY better.

*I've been in 3 minor car accidents in the last 6 months that were ALL my fault and I haven't told DH about a single ONE! None of them caused damage to my car and only one (the most recent) caused damage to another car so we had to get insurance involved. He doesn't know yet! I don't know what is up with me lately. The last time I was in a car accident was when I was 16 and a new driver and after that, spotless record. Part of the reason I haven't told DH is because I always flaunt my driving record in front of him and give him such a hard time.

I'm finally getting the tummy tuck I've been wanting since G was born. It's scheduled for April 6. Yes, I really am vain enough to endure (and pay for) major surgery to get my body back.

Good for you!

People talk about "twin skin" but this triplet skin is nasty. Meg says "Mommy, you are jiggly and squishy!" And...she has been calling me "big mama".

Me too. I didn't understand it until now. Even though I pack extra clothes. The girls have worn Ryans clothes in the past...but theirs dont' quite fit his big ole belly. I try my best to clothe my kids properly...to the point where I am walking out the door in my jammies since I tend to forget about myself until I look in the mirror on the way out the door.

MrsEditorJax · February 2011

I get annoyed when people equate unprotected sex with the ability to get pregnant easily. It's not easy for everyone. It took two years for me to get and stay pregnant, and I resent when people assume that women who don't have to undergo IVF have it super easy.

And to expound on that, it makes me want to punch anyone who says to me that I'll have no problem getting pregnant with No. 2 after having had Collin (which seems to come up a lot lately). It will be easy as can be. Never mind that people can very easily have miscarriage-live birth-miscarriage. Pregnancy is not one size fits all. Of course I would rather NOT have another miscarriage, but I am not in denial that it COULD happen again. It can happen to anyone.

This is me too. I've rear-ended 3 people in the last 6 months - luckily, they were all beefy trucks that went unscathed - I haven't told DH about any of them. However, the last one Iast was me backing into HIS parked car behind me when he decided to "work from home" one day (I park in our garage). I'm sorry, but I have the SAME routine everyday and the one day he throws a wrench in my day, I hit his car. He will NOT let me live it down. I was going 2 mph and did some major damage to his front wheel well. Oops.

For a Flame Free Confessions post, people are sure shelling out the hate today. I have no control over whether or not I get pregnant easily. That doesn't mean it is necessary for people to shell out the "I Hate..."

And, the same goes for my child sleeping. Just because I put Lucy to bed at 7pm and she wakes up for the day at 6-7am doesn't mean she sleeps 12 hours. Sometimes she does, sometimes she has nights like that last two, where she's up 3-4 times.

I would hope that people could keep FFFC just that and not hate on others for posting.

Bri&Shane_3/8/08 · February 2011

I am seriously overloaded on clothes for Malia. I feel so blessed to have friends that are giving me clothes for free and/or nearly free. My daughter has clothes to last her until she is in 2T - and they are all super cute.

My confession is that with my shower coming up, and this being my first girl - I KNOW I am going get a ton of clothes that will probably never get worn. I don't know how to nicely tell people NOT to purchase clothes - that I would much rather have diapers. It's a gift, and I will graciously accept that gift, but if I were giving a gift that I know would never be used, I would want to know.....I feel kind of in a pickle.

I really think you're overreacting here. My hateration is more focused on those whose kids actually STTN for longer than 6 hours at 4 months.

I agree! I don't like this style, either. We're not house-hunting, but we still talk about what we do and don't like. I won't even consider a split-level/split-entry home. DH grew up in one and SIL owns one now. They seem pretty common here. A friend of mine has one, as well. I don't like how tight the entry area is and having to choose up or down, as soon as you're in the door.

You know I PPH you, dude. However, this kind of has to be said:

Quit with the passive aggressive FFFC. Seriously. We all know who you're talking about when you post this stuff, so just call them out and be done with it.

It's crap like this that makes it difficult to post on this board without staring at your post for 20 minutes before you hit "post" to try and determine if someone is going to be offended by what you type.

If you're going to be offended, fine. Just talk to the person about it instead of making a bit of an ass out of yourself.

I'm not sure, but is this directed at my post? I don't quite follow it. I've paid my dues in getting to this point, incl no luck on our own, uterine surgery, no luck with IUI's, and then losing a baby with our first IVF. I know how hard it can be for some people to get and stay pregnant. I wish it was as easy as one unprotected moment, for all of us, but it isn't. I'm just jealous that it wasn't that way for me.

Hey, I totally agree with that. And this comment is directed at NO ONE in particular, but I see the flip side of it being that people on this board can't even say something all innocuous and happy like "Hey I could be pregnant!" or "Yay, I'm having a boy/girl/twins/etc!" or "Yay, my kid STTN!" without another poster somehow guilting them, whether it's about the means in which they got/could be pregnant, the gender, how many, how long their kid slept, etc.

This is a board for all stages of motherhood, from people who aren't even TTC yet to people who are done having kids, but I think that gets forgotten at times. No one is trying to make anyone else feel bad because they may have good news, just as they shouldn't be made to feel guilty -- however inadvertantly -- for HAVING potential good news. As far as I am concerned, that makes people look like an ass, too.

And FWIW, the second part about the how it will be so easy next time actually was about my MIL and mother. They both have said it recently and I wanted to punch both of them. It was just a fertility related post, period.

BethS2006 · February 2011

all of the "I'm pregnant posts" make me a little sad I wont be having a 3rd. We got pregnant (on BC and miscarried) while dating after a break up during make up s*x, a year and some fertility treatments got us out fantastic twins... IUD less for 6 mo, and it looks like it will take fertility to have a 3rd, and given that I have twins, I cannot risk another multiple pg at 37-38 yrs old. so While Im happy for those who are pregnant, and easily so even better, I'm a little misty and jealous.

And coreen, way to go on the tummy tuck. After losing 110 pds, I had one for medical (skin issue) reasons, and it was only partial due to the length of time under anesthesia and the extensive skin to be removed ... my best words to you.. WaLK and MOVE... even if it hurts... get it going... and be sure they stich those sexy abs together... to this day, after weight gain, and twins, I have the WEIRDEST rock hard flat lower abs with the worlds biggest muffin top... (second surgery enver happened).... if I EVER actually lose the weight I need to, I am running into the plastic surgeons office with my checkbook....

braveangel2 · February 2011

I think we've been here before - the happy posts and the sad posts. I want to say the general consensus was that one persons good news shouldn't take away from anothers sad news and another persons sad news shouldn't take away from anothers good. Basically everyone gets to feel what they want to feel because their feeling it and therefore it's valid. I'd hate to go through this again; I'm pretty sure we lost some cool Bumpies over it.

I also think it makes it tough to have FFFC here when so many of us know each other in person.

I called Jaxy a "bit of an ass" because before she explained herself, if you read the thread then read her confession, it would be incredibly difficult to not assume she was talking about something from earlier in the thread.

I've read the thread several times and I have not seen one person crapping on another person's happiness. Which post are you talking about specifically?

Also, if you go back and read the "I Hate" post I think you're referring to again, I think you'll see that the person who made the original post explained herself. I concur with her explaination.

ETA - Wait. By "Crapping on" do you mean when I said I didn't like Frost doughnuts? FTR: That came from a bunch of people (not MrsH) on my FB in the last couple of weeks who are saying that Frost is the best doughnuts out there. I wasn't trying to crap on her by saying that she didn't deserve a Frost doughnut after her 1hr glucose test. I was just saying I don't like Frost doughnuts.

On the sleep topic: Lately DS has proven he can be up on his own, he can turn on the TV to entertain himself (I"m not proud of this fact), and he can get himself a drink of water and even a breakfast bar. So DH assumes this means he can sleep as long as he wants and W will be "just fine by himself". I'm 100% NOT ok with this and it's caused me a lot of anxiety. If I'm home when DS wakes up I now feel obligated to get him ready and take him to daycare so that he's not left to his own for even 30 minutes because DH isn't ready to be up yet. It makes me late for work (or later than I like to be) and it starts my day off on a very stressed out note. But when I try to talk to DH about it he absolutely does not agree and gets very offended. I have no idea how to make him see that this is NOT OK for a 3 year old to take care of himself every single morning so his a$$ can sleep in.

AnnetteWalker:
DH and I both keep going back and forth on a second child. We would have to wait a bit to make sure it would be a 2012 baby for insurance. I am worried about 2 kids fighting all the time, and that it would impact our abaility to go on trips due to cost. I feel feally selfish for saying it is due to money and not being able to travel but I am really bummed out this year that we can't take a nice family vacation and I know if we have to pay for 4 people it will be even harder to afford to travel. So I guess that means we shoudn't have a second child. But for some reason we just can't get the idea out of our heads. We are both very torn on the subject.

Ugh, I'm sorry A - I know this has been a struggle for you guys for at least this last year.

I have not gone to bed prior to 1:45am since last Friday! I have been in baby gear land, sorting, entering, ironing and tagging, for the BBF. I am almost done...only have some maternity clothes to enter. Quite a bit of tagging left, but that goes fast.

my confession...I think I have way to many items and feel bad I have so many. even if HALF goes, I would be happy.

another confession...I have not showered in 3 days and not washed my hair since....I do not even know when. Working from home makes you LAZY! We're going to dinner at a friends tonight...guess I should go shower now. Lol
