Re: Anyone up for FFFC?
I'll go first...Since we were discussing RW/RR Challenge. I watch/record so much reality TV (especially when I was on bedrest) that H got me my own DVR for our bedroom. I mean, you know you watch too much TV when you feel that it is necesary to have two DVRs in your house!
DS was crying so hard this morning when I dropped him off at school, I felt like a terrible mother, because I didn't go back to him and give him another hug. I felt like dragging it out would make it worse, so I told him, "You'll be fine" and ducked out.
I'm was so happy that UVerse now lets you pause live TV on a receiver that isn't the DVR!
Ahhhh...I know!
BAHAAAHAAA!
I am so tired that I want to put my 3yr old on "his computer" and take a nap while he plays. I also hope that the twins dont wake up for at least another hour.
Cloudy days suck the life out of me!
Although this is funny, I was hoping for something a little more scandal less, a two week crying themself to sleep, giving a 6 month old peanut butter, letting the dog lick the peanut butter off of LO's face, leaving kids in the car to run into the gas station for that pack of smokes. Taking LO out of car seat while going 80mph, stuff like that.
I second TMB that you aren't really livin on the edge here buuut, neither are we with our confessions. I DO, however, think this is hi-larious! I hate single-ply and I am glad that your one-woman revolt is going to rid the world of it some day.
I hear ya, sometimes it's just easier! (see my post below about DH taking care of the LOs)
Ok this is totally flame-worthy...I have Bieber-Fever.
I think it's tricky to do a FFFC here because we all have SUCH a higher tolerance for what some consider to be "flameful" behavior.
Like for me, my kids share a toothbrush. We had two, lost one, and I keep forgetting to purchase a new one. Most MoMs are all, "meh, my kids share everything". Non-MoM would be all GASP! GERMS! FLAME!
We're just too laid back.
I don't understand Bieber, but I think Lady Gaga is incredibly entertaining and love her music.
This is lame, LONG, and probably not really a confession, but it's all I've got. We all went to the grocery store today because DH has the day off, and he figured he'd "help out" by tagging along (even though I would have rather him just kept the kids at home, but whatever).
Anyway, I've got my methods of getting Nathan through a grocery trip without a meltdown. As long as he's behaving and staying with me, I'll let him walk. I'll give him certain items to put in the cart so he feels like he's helping, and it keeps him busy. Well DH took him to get a jar of mayo. When Nathan got back to the cart with it, DH took it and put it in the cart before N had a chance to (it was plastic, so no fear of breaking or anything reasonable like that). Of course N starts flipping out because he didn't get to do it. Does DH do the obvious thing and take the jar back out to let him do it? No, he picks him up and takes him down to the end of the aisle to try and reason with him, as I'm giving him the "WTF are you doing?" look and hand gestures.
At this point some older lady walks around the corner, and feels the need to stop and tell DH what a great job he's doing and how she understands that kids can be difficult, and he's such a great father, yada yada yada. Cool, ok I like when people reassure me in a difficult situation, and it's not like she saw that he CAUSED the meltdown. Except that 5 minutes and 2 aisles later, when he's STILL crying and DH hands him off to me to "deal with" because he "can't take it anymore," the same lady walks by and gives me the dirtiest look. I don't remember the last time I felt so much rage towards someone as I did toward her and DH. I almost completely lost it in the middle of the canned goods aisle.
And DH had the nerve to ask me why I was in such a bad mood as we were leaving. Maybe if I didn't have to clean up your completely unnecessary tantrum mess, and then get blamed for it by other people while you get praised to the heavens, I'd be in a better fvcking mood. I'm just going to take them by myself next time, no matter what he says.
The other night DS1 was brushing his teeth while going #2 (maybe that's flameworthy in of itself?) and he dropped it in the toilet, he hadn't even gone yet but I pulled it out and DS1 was crushed that he couldn't finish brushing his teeth with that toothbrush. I took it out to DH to see if he knew where the bleach was and he told me to throw it away, then DS1 starts crying and I of course don't throw it away but run it threw the dishwasher because we are out of bleach. He's still using it.
Hahaha! What does it say about my laidbackedness (or perhaps lack of aversion to germs) that last weekend, we bought the LOs a new toothbrush? You read that right--just one toothbruth for them to share. I didn't even think until right this moment that maybe I should have gotten one for both of them. Yes, there's still time to vote for me for mom of the year.
Now this is good stuff! Cause it's flame-worthy but I have no room to flame because I've done it, and I don't have triplets.
phew! good thing its FFF
So not flameworthy in my book!
I did this exact thing this morning... EXCEPT I held one baby and fed him 1st, but then decided that I slept too long (they have been STTN for 6-7 hours so I decided to hit snooze) and wouldn't have time to hold and feed the other one. So while I got ready, I put him in a bobby on the bed and propped the bottle up with a blanket. I even burped him half way through, but felt soooo bad that I didn't have that feeding time with him.
we feel guilty if we hand feed one or two and not the others, so either they all get propped or all get hand fed
oh and I was inside maybe all of 15 seconds and dint buy anything else.
