Flame away! (I can't believe it's already Friday!
Mine:
I have become so sleep deprived lately, I have actually yelled at DS. I feel so bad for doing it, but he has been so fussy lately (6 week g/s) and I can't keep my emotions under control. It has only happened twice, but I feel terrible afterwards.
Re: FFFC
Remember FF, right!
I have to go to the beach this weekend for a tournament I am coaching in and I'd rather my mom come instead/ or with my hubby. I am so worried about "working" and DH having no clue what he's doing or DH going to the bar to watch football w LO.
I've also yelled at DS a few times. I've now figured out that if you can get to crying before he does, he gets so confused and stops in his tracks. My dog thinks it's fun to howl along, too, so it gets kind of crazy here when DS is fussy.
I'm almost excited to go back to work for some normalcy again. I could never do the SAHM thing. I think i might start throwing my own hissy fits. I just wish I liked my job more.
I feel exactly the same way. I want to delete it, yet I can't.
I must have missed this. What boards is she posting on?
My confession:
I'm so sick of DH's lazy ass. He gets unemployment, so he's not working right now. Do you think just once that maybe he could offer to get up with the baby at night? Nope he gets his 8 to 10 hours of sleep. It's not like he has a job to go to and needs to sleep, so I'm just a little pissed off that he can't even offer to let me sleep and he get up with her. I'm getting so fed up with him. The only thing he does to take care of the baby is make her a bottle when I ask him. It's bullsh*t. I can't even go anywhere without her because he doesn't know how to take care of her and just lets her cry. He's only changed her diaper 3 times since she's been born. I feel so sad, alone, depressed, and overwhelmed.
End of rant.
I'm so sorry you're going through this! You need to sit down with your H and talk about how you're feeling, otherwise you'll just keep building up resentment towards him and it'll definitely hurt your marriage. My H is pretty clueless, but I ask him to help and he's getting there. He's terrified of babies, so I understand that he's not completely comfortable, but he's at least trying now, I had to ask him for the first few weeks to help with simple tasks, but now he will pick up DS when he's crying and I'm not in the room, he changes diapers quite often, and will even dress him for the day...although the last two tasks take him a long time to do, I don't criticize him or say anything but thank you. I've realized that I need to go at this with a positive mindset and he's definitely getting better.
Good luck with your H, just don't be afraid to ask him for help...boys can be pretty dumb, we need to make sure we train them properly
I believe its mylovelyusername/peonypetla/hisnoIfac/ect
Shes been posting on TTC and BOTB
I've been following the drama, it gives me some good reading when the boys are asleep.
My confession is that I secretly want a weekend away, just by myself. I love my kids and DH but, lately, I don't feel like he worries about how I'm feeling ( I know hes does, but meh)
I'm with you on this one. I'm about done with staying in touch with people I haven't seen in forever and will never see again. I need to sever that tie. I like stalking too much, though.
My confession: I hate my job. I don't want to stay home with DS because that made me crazy before I came back to work. I like working, but not this. It just doesn't interest me anymore. I'm thinking about TTC#2 early next year so I have a good excuse to quit next fall. The only thing stopping me is that we need a bigger place for 2 kids, and we can't make that happen if I'm not working.
I'm sorry.. that sucks. I have to straight out ask DH to do things or he mostly wont. I've also had to show him what things work best with LO, what routine, what order. We always give his bath together at night and then my H usually feeds him a couple times in the evening. But again, this isn't without me asking him to and showing him what to do.
I feel the same as you sometime! I have a September baby.. and sometimes it feels like all the other babies are so much older and my LO. 6 week growth spurt? We haven't even hit 3 weeks yet! I basically got told by the Sept board to go away.
For some reason, it's easier to take care of both LOs when I'm home by myself. As soon as DH walks through the door at the end of the day DD starts whining! I don't understand it. It's so peaceful all day (for the most part)...but as soon as he's home she turns into a fuss ball. For that reason, I've come to enjoy the work week more than the weekends!
Well that's crappy. I'm sorry!
I was going to board bounce, since I could technically relate to both ends. They pretty much told me it was dumb to try to fit in to a new board, when I was pregnant with the ladies over here. Silly ladies! Oh well, people over here are so much nicer.
I dislike pumping. Well, I HATE pumping. I feel like a fricken milk cow.
Oh goodness...this is how I feel. My ILs are usually great, but since LO has been born they have been driving me up the wall. MIL hoards him whenever she's around and says the most annoying things. Also, when he's fussy, they won't give him back to me to let me try to comfort him. They insist on trying to figure out WHY he's fussy. He must be hungry. His diaper must be dirty. He must not like the light on. He must want to go outside. OH MY GOSH! Just let me handle it!
My (future) MIL is like that. She also she whistles at my son like you would a dog. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it seriously raises my blood pressure. That being said, she is not a bad MIL to have, as I have seen many stories much more ridiculous than mine.
Yep. She has also posted on the baby names board. That child has issues!
Issues doesn't even begin to describe it... Did you see this morning's drama from "myshiityusername" . The worst/most entertaining part is that she talks to herself with her AEs .
Ironic isn't it? I really want to stay at home now too, I never would've thought I'd say that but in my head I come up with all sorts of plans to make it happen. Unfortunately none of these plans are really feasible
I can somewhat relate. My husband has been driving me nuts. I feel like I'm taking care of two babies. Sometimes I'm just too exhausted to even talk to him and I feel like I wouldn't even care if he left me because I do everything myself anyway. I hate feeling that way towards him. I'm so happy with the baby and never even got hit with the baby blues, I just never imagined that I'd have to deal with my husband's bullsh*t and THAT would bring me down. I'm happier when he's at work and just me and my LO by ourselves. I've talked to friends and supposedly they (the men) change after they get used to the shock of having a child so I'm going to wait it out. Good luck to you and your H and just know that you're not alone in your feelings.
thank you
I hate when I do that. But really..my way is better. LOL
I feel this way too - I am Sept 2nd and I love my August mommies so much that I don't even care I am technically a September mommy. Plus, this board lets me learn from what others have already done! I
you ladies!
My confession: The other night I was really frustrated feeding the baby while DH slept that I started bawling...loudly. I am unhappy with my body (okay 3 wks pp and I am way hard on myself), I am giving up my job because it I can't do it and take care of her, and my skin broke out so I have zits everywhere. It was one of those weird moments where now I look back and laugh at how shallow I was being...but really I do miss my body...please tell me I can get it back?!
1 - SarahPLiz - I am glad to see you around here. I've been wondering about you and baby ATL
2 - WTF September board? Their loss.
3 - OhYeah, I am the opposite of you I guess. DD came early so I ended up with a July baby (but I like it better here
), so when I wanted to talk 6-week growth spurt, people were posting about their LO's losing their umbilical cord stump. lol At least if you ask a question, you can be pretty sure most of the board has been through the same thing already, so you can get lots of advice 
my FFFC:
I am glad DH is out tonight (he went to play Dungeons and Dragons with his friends - did I mention I married a geek? lol). He's been out of a job for 3 weeks now, which means we've been together pretty much 24/7 since then. Don't get me wrong, I love my husband, but I just feel like I can never get any alone time with him around so much.
I honestly dont think that the new user name is her. I think it is someone trying to piss her off.
