FFFC!

Re: FFFC!

  • My confession is how I have let the thought of CIO enter my head. It is real tempting when my LO will not sleep. After 5hrs she is finally asleep, but I didn't dare try to put her down in bed (she is in her swing).

  • I have another one.  I want to be living in my hometown before our second is born because I want my mom close by.  Even if it means living with them for a bit (they have already said that it is fine if we had to move in for a bit while our house is being built).  Right now she is only an hour away I want to be 5 minutes away.  I feel like such a baby wanting my mommy.

    My FFFC: I am an extremely snarky, somewhat judgy person because I judge myself so stringently and I expect others to do the same for themselves.

    me too! I am even too much of an arse to post a real FFFC because it would be in reference to many of the posts of today. 

    Eh go for it.  That's what it's for.  If we can't take it, then that's our problem, not yours!

    I finally just came up with something to confess!

    I just ate half a peanut butter sandwich before I realized the bread was starting to mold. I noticed some white powder and thought it was just flour, until I smelled it. OMG. I think I'm going to puke!!

    This made me laugh.. sorry!

    My confession:  I am at home until Jan and I am already really bored.  If DH could stay home with Keaton right now I would be happy to go back to work.

    My FFFC is really bad.  I was going to confess it last week but it had just happened and I was still flaming myself for it so would not have been able to take it if anyone had something negative to say.  

    Last week I accidentally drove home with M in her car seat (which was snapped into its base) but forgot to buckle the straps.  She had been laying in the car seat with a blanket draped over her while I was at a fundraiser with friends.  When I left to go home I just picked up the car seat, snapped it into the base, and headed home.  I completely forgot that she wasn't strapped in.  It was a 20 minute ride but thankfully the road is straight and flat the whole way (thanks ND!).  I am still sick to my stomach when I think about what might have happened if I'd have had to stop short or swerve let alone the possibility of an accident.  I didn't tell DH b/c it was definitely a 1-time mistake that I will never make again and I didn't want him worrying that I could get careless again.  In fact I didn't tell anyone until now.  And I've been staring at the screen deciding whether to post this or just delete it.  I figure getting it off my chest will help me to stop beating myself up over it.   

    i did this once with dd1.  the daycare provider had her napping in her carseat with a blanket when i picked her up, and i just never checked to see if she was buckled.  what a shock when i got home!  

    please don't beat yourself up over this!  everyone makes mistakes, and in this case no one got hurt.  just learn from the experience and always check the buckle from now on.

    Kimbo- I think religion is one of the most important things when you are deciding who would raise your kids.

    Me too - which is why we're still struggling w/ this decision. I would prefer my parents but they don't go to church. I don't want it to be my IL's and we're not that close to anyone at our church so I just don't bring it up.

    My FFFC: today I purposefully didn't buckle the car seat. I was only driving across the parking lot and DD's diaper had exploded. I couldn't take care of until the 2nd destination & didn't want to squeeze out any more poop than had already escaped. Embarrassed

    Awww! Thanks, you're awesome too! ?

    OMG, I did this too!  A few weeks ago I was having a GTG with nirern626 (who is awesome IRL, as well as online btw), and we were walking with our strollers down to a yogurt place.  I had taken LO out at some point to change him and never strapped him back in before we started walking again.  LO had his blanket over his body, so I forgot I never strapped him back in.  When it was time to leave I put the carseat in the car and got home, only to realized I had never strapped him in.  I texted nirern, freaking out.  I still feel guilty, but lesson learned.  I always double check now.  I just thank God I didn't get in an accident.  I still haven't told DH btw.

  • I've got a few...

    I, too, am extremely cheap. I refuse to pay full price for anything. It is either on sale or I have a coupon. Milk is the only exception. People (like my sister) look down on me because I shop sales and coupons, but it allows me to save money and work less. Sure I'd love to spend money on lavish things and not care, but that will never be me. Even if I won the lottery I can still see myself spending frugally.

    If a little poop gets on LO's onsie I don't always change it. I small poop stain on the leg band won't kill him, right?

    I have yet to do the deed. I've thought about it and need to get back on the horse (hehe!) but by the end of the day I just want to go to sleep.

  • I'm a long time lurker/occasional poster with my first FFFC.

    I had a sex dream about a fellow bumpie a few days ago.  I have never had a sex dream about anyone I didn't know IRL.  It did, however, make me realize 2 things: a) I may be spending a little too much time on the bump and b) maybe this means mama's libido is back.  Here's hoping!

    Like a lot of the pp, I have almost put LO in the car unbuckled and totally would have had my SIL not reminded me that he wasn't buckled....and I KNOW this is FFFC, but this is pretty flame-worthy. Sorry. I'd much rather have to clean off some poop from LO's car seat straps than get into a parking lot fender bender that sends them flying out of their seat....

    And again, sorry I know it's supposed to be flame free here, but...I had to say it.

    I had no idea before this week that overnight diapers existed.

    Most days I shower and put pajamas back on, unless I am leaving the house.  Then I will change out of my pj's to go out and change right back into them when I am home.

    I've only had sex with DH once since DS has been born.

    I knew about overnight diapers but think they're stupid. I wear pajamas all day every day unless I go out. And we have had sex a grand total of 2 times.

  • I'm going to go today... mainly to get something off my chest.  

    I'm insanely jealous of many of the posts on this board.  H is moving out because I "don't make him happy".  I read all the great things everyone's DH does to help with the baby and it makes me sad.  I bust my butt to completely care for this child AND to make sure I meet H's needs (which he says I haven't been), we had sex 3-4 times a week, my parents watched LO so we coukd have one date night a week, I made sure I put LO to bed by 8:30 every night so we could have some alone time... all I got was that I was paying more attention to the baby and neglecting him.  He even told me at one point I have been lazy since the baby was born.  

    I'm not looking for advice or sympathy, I am just confessing that every time I read about someone's DH going above and beyond during pregnancy or now read about helping with the baby it makes me jealous.   

    I further confess that I am more worried about having to split my time and holidays with LO than I am about an impending divorce.   He mentioned wanting 50% and all I can think is that it's not fair that I have to give up ANY time when I'm not the one leaving.

    To sum up:  I'm confessing I have a possible failed marriage with a 4 month old.  That's embarrassing to me.  And that I'm jealous of helpful fathers/husbands.

    I am so sorry Sad Marriage is difficult to begin and having a baby adds a lot of stress.  DH and I have been fighting way more often since DS has been born and I have questioned whether we are going to ever be back where we once were. I hope things get better and he realizes how much you are doing for him and for the baby!

  • Mine is that our LO sleeps in the dining room. We live in a small 2-bedroom condo, and the second bedroom has her dresser with changing pad on top, a guest bed, and my husband's office. He runs his own company and works from home. Her crib will just fit in the second bedroom, but MH likes having her crib in the dining room b/c she can play on the floor of the 2nd bedroom while she's awake, but then he can put her down in her crib when it's nap time and he can have his office back to himself. Also, he thinks that we're training her to be able to sleep anywhere without needing blinds drawn, total silence, etc...which may be true, she's a pretty good sleeper.

    But I'm so embarrassed that we have a freakin crib in our dining room!! I know that eventually she will have to go in the 2nd bedroom no matter what DH says b/c she will want to hang out with us when it's bedtime if she's still in the dining room, but that day cannot come soon enough. I wish we had never bought the stupid condo, so we could afford to get an actual house now. We are so far underwater on the condo that I doubt we will be able to sell it for years. Ugh.

    I am so sorry to hear this!! Don't be embarrassed! It sounds like you have done nothing wrong!! We are totally here for you if you want to vent!!

  • Ok my turn... I am really big on picking pumpkins and carving them. My mom and dad always took me and we had so much fun. I was really looking forward to taking LO. Well I told DH i wanted to go. 2 weeks later, he says his mom is coming to visit and wants to take us. That's not what I wanted. I wanted our trip to be the three of us. I didn't specifically say that, but he told her I wanted to go, and now she's coming and bringing the whole crew. UGH. I'm so not looking forward to this now. And next year, when we go, she will say "Well I thought we could make it a tradition and go with you." Selfish me. 

    *amberpro* - I'm so very sorry. I think I would be more concerned with splitting time too. :(

    so sorry to hear about this!  i totally agree that if he's not going to be as invested as you are, why should he get the same parental rights?

    i often have problems with my husband, who is not nearly as helpful as it seems most fathers are (that's a kind understatement).  it is extremely embarrassing to me too.  sometimes when things get really bad, i think that maybe we should call it quits.  but i know i'd never survive on my own financially.  and while dh isn't the helpful partner i would like, he does clearly really love his kids.  MIL even remarked how happy she is to see how involved dh is with his kids and that FIL was basically not interested in DH and SIL until they were old enough to share FIL's interests.  so considering DH's background, he has come a long way.

    I seriously judge parents who bapstise/christen/what have you when they aren't active in their church, and don't plan to be. Doing it to have a party, and look good to your friends is NOT a good enough reason in my opinion.

    I don't believe in baptizing/christening babies.  That being said, I don't think those that do necessarily do it to have a party or look good even if they don't plan on being an active member of the church.  I think they do it for their families and/or to honor the tradition.

    I think baptism should happen when you are old enough to make the decision for yourself and know what it means.  And yes, that means I think most 5 year olds are too young to make such a profound decision also.  I wasn't baptized until I was 15 and I'm glad.  I full got it at that point.  I could have done it sooner, but my point is I was old enough to really get it.

     

    YesYes Totally agree.

    *hugs*  You have no reason to be embarrassed! It sounds like your H is being incredibly immature and selfish. I have been down the divorce road, too although mine didn't involve kids. I hope that your H can come to his senses but if he can't, I hope that all goes as smoothly as possible. Feel free to PM me if you need to vent or would like a virtual shoulder to cry on.

    No hard feelings, you're right. Even though it was literally 2 stores down and no cross-traffic, someone could have come barreling out of a spot and hit my car just right. I didn't think of that. Normally I would have just left my car and walked the extra distance but it was cold and rainy and I was a little stressed about the poopsplosion - all bad excuses in the grand-scheme of things.

  • And in response to other FFFCs...

     

    1.  Religion is a HUGE factor when choosing guardians.  No matter the beliefs.  

     2.  Although I agree that a baby or a young child can't make the decision to be baptized and accept Christ as their savior (because you all are right- they don't know), that's not really what baby baptism is about.   It's about a promise the parents are making to raise the child in Christ.  The child must go back later (at an appropriate age) and confirm the baptism.  I have no problem with denominations that baptize babies as long as the confirmation is an actual acceptance of Christ and not simply a right of passage.  

    3.  Thanks again, ladies :)  I truly appreciate the support.  We've been struggling ever since he was born (even somewhat before- just not as bad), so it's nice to get it out.

    Amberpro, I am so sorry you are going through this.  These are such unfair and unkind things for him to say to you.  It sounds like he has not accepted the major life changes fatherhood brings... so I doubt he is ready for 50% custody either.  I'm sure the decision-maker would see that, if it comes to that, but I hope you can work it out and he will accept his responsibilities and be the partner you deserve.  Hugs!

    It happens. My mom strapped him into his seat the other day and put it in the car. I didnt check, but a little bit down the road, I reached back to put his paci back in and made DH pull over. She only did the chest clip. When I told her, she was like oops, its not a big deal, the chest clip was on....

    Pretty sure my mom wont be taking him anywhere.

    me too! I am even too much of an arse to post a real FFFC because it would be in reference to many of the posts of today. 

    Eh go for it.  That's what it's for.  If we can't take it, then that's our problem, not yours!

    Ok. Here it goes. I will remind people however that I do view my opinions like buttholes. They stink and are very personal.

    I think it is really jackass for parents to keep their child from the IL's. It is your child's family, not yours. If they just simply annoy you and you don't like their parenting "style", then you are just being selfish. If they truely are horrible people that you think would abuse, neglect or otherwise harm the child, then yes, by all means keep the child from them. It seems this is not the case with most of the posters here. I can't imagine how the husbands or significant others feel about your severe disdain for THEIR families. It may not be perfect but it is their family and they have every right to have their child experience and build relationships with their families. Imagine if your SO refused to let your child see your family simply because they annoy him? It's a two way street and if you couldn't handle it then maybe you shouldn't have bred with him.

    I have said before how much I would KILL to have my MIL want to be in my kid's lives.

    BTW. I don't mind flames. I can take it like a big girl. :D

    I'm a long time lurker/occasional poster with my first FFFC.

    I had a sex dream about a fellow bumpie a few days ago.  I have never had a sex dream about anyone I didn't know IRL.  It did, however, make me realize 2 things: a) I may be spending a little too much time on the bump and b) maybe this means mama's libido is back.  Here's hoping!

    Am I the only one that wants to know which Bumpie you had this dream about... lol

    I feel the same way when I read some bumpies posts.  MIL shows complete favoratism for BIL & SILs famly and will visit them probably 10x as much as she visits us and C.  It drives me crazy and I would love for her to be wanting to spend as much time with us as possible.  Oh well.
