FFFC
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC
I am so dang tired of seeing "Growth spurt" posts. I don't even open them any more. Just because your baby is fussy or eating more doesn't mean it's ALWAYS a growth spurt...... Look at how much they grow in the first year or two of life! Their whold first year is a growth spurt! Heck, when I'm more hungry one day or cranky doesn't mean I'm going through a growth spurt! Maybe baby is just more hungry or tired one day!
Edit... I shouldn't say on this board.... I was thinking more 0-3 board. It gets pretty repetetive over there. This board is just fine for me.
I'm looking forward to going back to work.
I believe in the 5 second rule (paci).
I wash her bottles in hot soapy water.
I pick her nose if I see anything.
I let the dog lick up spit up if it lands on the floor.
I'm going to get my hair colored, highlighted and cut right before going back to work and it's going to cost a fortune and I'm not going to tell my husband how much.

Last night Em was so fussy (from reflux) that I had to put her in her PNP and walk away. I went outside where I couldn't hear her screaming and waited about 1 minute to relieve frustration. Then she would throw up after eating so I had to refuse to feed her.
My next door neighbor (an old high school friend too) just found out she is pregnant. I am happy for her, but her marriage is horrible. They always fight, he cheats and lies, and he's abusive, but she was trying for another baby. I wish that she wouldn't assume a baby will fix it. She needs more than a positive pregnancy test to help.
My other friend just had her son taken away by DCF. I have been hoping they would step in. She drops the baby (5 months old) off with random friends she hasn't talked to in years so she can go out and drink and have sex. She found out she had a miscarriage and went out and got drunk that night. She blacked out and ended up in the hospital unconscious. The next day E was taken from her and she wonders why.
Wow, I have some great friends.
1) (Probably will flamed) I love my DD but her ability to be a c**kblocker is getting on my last nerve. Every time DH and I try to get intimate, she starts to fuss. At first it is just a little fussy but as DH and I try to get farther along into the deed, she starts to howl. It does not matter if I have just fed her, changed her, or if she was fast asleep when we start. As soon as our clothes comes off, her crying begins. Both DH and I are getting frustrated (sexily) and have no idea what to do. I am at the point where I am ready to let her CIO. I know she is just a baby and doesn't know any better, but Mommy needs some loving.
2) I really hope it rains tomorrow so I don't have to go to my stuck-up SIL's birthday party for her son.
3) I wish my MIL would stop acting like a spoiled toddler every time she did not get her way. I wish she would just tell me if they are going to back out of the day care arrangement. At this point, I won't even care if they did.
We call DD sex kill. One day she was in another room fast asleep. We just started and she starts to scream! I told DH that when she gets older she will know about this!
My daughter is 11 weeks old and is watching Team Umizoomi. She loves it. We noticed last night that she was enthralled with the tv and she was QUIET. All by herself. I put her in the bouncer and turned on nickelodeon and did laundry.
I feel like a terrible mom but I will probably let her watch tv every once in awhile now. I just hope DH doesn't let her watch for hours at a time while I'm at work. I don't want a zombie for a daughter.

Not cool. That's pretty awful in fact. I hope you never do that again. I think you are very lucky nothing happened.

I love the faces that D makes when he cries. So when my kid is screaming I am laughing at him. It's just too cute.
I always hear people say that they are constantly checking their baby's while they are sleeping to make sure they are breathing. I have never done that. Never. If he is sleeping I am passed the eff out.

The other day I was nursing LO on our brown leather couch in the living room and I accidentally sprayed milk everywhere and some got on to the arm rest of the couch. I forgot to wipe it up. It's been over a week and the splatter is still there. Each time I see it I think I should go get a cloth to wipe it up but I'm usually nursing at the time or doing one of the 100's of other things that need to get done while he naps. I am just not keeping up with cleaning like I used too (this is just one example).
Today DH wanted to take my car because he had to drive out of town and my vehicle is better on gas than his truck. I told him that I couldn't take his truck to run my errands today because it is too big and I probably wouldn't be able to find a parking spot downtown or fit it in the parkade there. That's not exactly true, I really didn't want to drive it because he leaves garbage in there all the time and it stinks.
Baby #2 on the way!
FYI: I live on base and the commissary is less than a mile from my front door.
Oh great. Why are we not supposed to do this?
And I had zilch trauma about returning to work, that first day or any time since. It's been three or four weeks now so I don't think there will be a delayed reaction. I love the variety. Maybe it helps that DH is the one home with her when I'm working.
I also wash bottles in hot soapy water. Didn't know that was "illegal." And I also had no back to work trauma. It felt good to be a "big kid" again! It's still nice to go pick the girls up from daycare and spend the evening with them, don't get me wrong. I love spending time with them, but it's nice to have a break too. I don't know how SAHM do it!
Oh, I never realized car accidents don't happen if you're close to home or being "really careful". Seriously, do you really think bad things can not happen to you?
My not even flame-free confession is that I'm tired of people being nice on these boards when moms post ridiculous sh!t.
Natural Birth Board FAQs
Cloth Diaper Review Sheet
Please tell me you're posting this ridiculous stuff to mess with us.
In this vein, my FFFC is I wish I had the ballz to click "post" for most of the responses I type out... Not being nice, but I am sitting at home doing this
instead.
Ugh, I was actually ok with your FFFC until this. Please please say this is MUD! Otherwise, uhm, please don't ever leave your baby home alone...
GEEEZ everyone. Isn't this supposed to be flame free confessions?!?

I was hoping for a "I decided not to vaccinate" post
~*~*May 2013 Moms Website*~*~
I can't help but giggle at the baby when he cries, too. It is just really too cute. His little lip pouts out so far it is ridiculous.
I tasted my breast milk...it wasn't bad.
During one of his first baths, a cup of water fell off the side of the tub and right into Tottle's face. It was seriously the most horrible thing I could have ever imagined. He screamed bloody murder and I cried right along with him.
I told my husband I bought our bouncy seat for the beach at a consignment shop but I didn't want to buy a used one and got it at Buy Buy Baby. Whatevs. It was only $20 more than the one at the consignment shop.
I dropped my brand new iPhone on the ground in Target this morning because DD knocked into me. I totally cried when it wouldn't turn back on...she felt like shish.
Instead of getting DD vaccinated, I'm going to just expose her to said diseases. That is the only way she will build an immunity, right? I think this is totally wise and logical. The challenge is finding someone with polio... Parenting is so hard!
Is that better?
I let DD watch some tv when she is in her swing just so I can get the house cleaned up some. I don't put anything specific on though like today she watched Millionaire Matchmaker I figure she is to young to know what is going on she just likes the light.
I am using the fact that I had such a bad case of thrush as a reason to keep bottle feeding instead of going back to the breast. I am pumping and giving her formula but it has been nice not having her attached to my boob. I was going to wean when I went back to work in a week so it was just a little earlier than I thought.
I lurk on all the boards when I am up in the middle of the night and love all the drama. We are definately a mild group in comparison to some of what is out there.

Wow that sounds really irresponsible...I hope you never do that again.
DH and I were doing the deed last night, and DS started fussing in the middle of it. He was fed and dry, so I let him CIO for about 5 minutes while we finished.
Oh, I just give her a half shot of rum in her bottle of breastmilk before bedtime. She's out in no time! And she sleeps for like...9 hours!
Also, I ate a whole wheel of cheese!

I totally did this last week after an exhausting day with DD. DH was home alone with her for 3 hours and needless to say he no longer asks me why I dont get anything done during the day.
When LO cries at night I ignore him just to see if DH will get up with him.
As much as I hate having a messy house, I leave DH's dirty clothes on the floor and dishes on the table to prove that it isn't my mess around the house.
If DS is fussy and we're eating dinner, I'll put him and his bouncy chair right outside the screen door so he gets fresh air and I don't have to hold him. Kid loves it outside.
I also laugh at my baby when she cries. She just has the cutest little pout!
I'm also tired of seeing niceness when I think a person is being ridiculous. Sometimes diplomacy is great, and sometimes it just makes my head hurt. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to start letting my innerbitch come out on this board though.
I've been basically ignoring my dog since the baby was born. She is not at all protective or even very aware when around the baby and she even scratched her once when she jumped up on DH when he was holding LO. I just do not have the energy. It's a good thing DH plays with her and walks her.
I'm drinking one of DH's cans of Mountain Dew because I got home from work and was too lazy to pour myself a glass of water.
I've watched through almost 6 seasons of Monk in the 6 weeks of having a baby (and a cycle of America's Next Top Model). Netflix is a nursing mother's best friend.
I've never given Violet a bath. DH bathes her 3 times a week, but I'm a little scared to.
Our apartment looks like we were recently visited by Taz, and the ILs are visiting tomorrow. I'm not too motivated to clean though, because we just got our keys to our (much nicer) new place and I figure it's a fresh start.
I'm still terrified to have sex. I've had very light bleeding for 6 weeks now, but I was cleared for sex and exercise over a week ago. I think DH has given up on me.
And my most flame-able confession: DH and I won't be using any form of birth control, should I ever get over my crippling fear of postpartum sex. We never have, for religious/personal reasons. I'm kind of hoping that BFing keeps AF away for quite some time though.

Out of curiosity - do you do natural family planning, pulling out... or truly nothing at all? Not that I consider pulling out "birth control" (and I know people have different opinions on whether NFP is birth control or not), but I'm just wondering if you make any effort to avoid pregnancy or if it's just a "whatever happens, happens" sort of approach.
Boy #2, born 8/27/2014
Currently... Pregnant with mo/di BOY TWINS! Due September 15. Latest induction will be 37w.
I'm holding my sleeping LO and watching MH clean the whole house. Sure, I could put LO down and help, but he's cleaning cause my IL's are coming to meet the baby for the weekend. I think cleaning our house for them is stupid because their house is beyond nasty and our dirty house beats any degree of clean their house would ever be.
Last night when LO would wake up to eat he didn't scream bloody murder like he normally did, so I didn't take him seriously and I would try to make him go back to sleep without feeding him. I am so damn sleep deprived if I could milk an extra 10 minutes out of the kid, i took it.
We don't use NFP or any other natural methods of BC. I guess it's a "whatever happens, happens" approach. We keep our family in good physical and financial health so that we'd be prepared to welcome another child should we be blessed with one. Both I and DH really want a big family (although preferably not 19 kids and counting), so it isn't that major a sacrifice for us!
