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.

Yes Totally with you on this.

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.

Oh man my husband and I have fought over this! He's Baptist and I'm Catholic, but we make it work We worship at his church so we actually had our daughter dedicated this past Sunday, but we are also going to have her christened probably sometime in December. We've come to the point where I let him do his thing and he's letting me do my thing, but we also understand that the most important thing is that we raise our daughter in a Christian household.

Anyway my FFC is that I have given up on doing the laundry and I now just drop it off at the laundromat and have them wash, dry, and fold our clothing. I wouldn't have it any other way

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

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Dish the goods girl!

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!

When I was pregnant, I had to be one of the worst MIL bashers out there. Now that LO is here, I am so grateful to have her around. I may not agree with her about everything and I may find some of her habits really annoying, but anyone who can love my son nearly as much as I do is pretty cool in my book.

My lame confession, when looking at all other confessions, yes mine is lame:

I'm seriously (and have already gotten DH's okay, he has already offered to babysit) sitting here with Stubhub open in another tab debating getting Tigers playoff tickets for Tuesday night. Last game I went to this season was a few weeks before I had LO.

I could write the family portion word for word myself

Kymbirleigh:

I get annoyed with my in-laws that they don't treat me and my DH the same as his other siblings... Because we can stand on our own two feet and don't need their assistance they overlook us....and then complain that they don't see K often enough. You know where we live. Come over. And this is quite the double-standard on my part because I'm constantly over at my parents, so I could easily do the same, but truth be told I hate going to their house.... it's....filthy. =( I also try to keep her from that side of the family as much as possible because they don't have a filter... And I don't want some of her first words she learns to be dirty ones.... I guess in a sense I'm punishing my ILs for treating us differently...

We've had sex zero times since she was born! He falls asleep before me...usually while I'm calming her down and putting her to sleep... And because I didn't get any form of BC (getting Mirena in Oct to give it a try)... And I'm still hating on my figure right now... Maybe things will change after I get Mirena and I feel comfortable again.

Want a personalized experience?

FFFC!
