Re: FFFC
Yesterday was DH's and my anniversary and my mom offered to watch DD so we could go out for a nice dinner. Nice, right? Well, I left my mom with 4oz of milk that I'd pumped because I knew that would be plenty for the 3ish hours we'd be gone.
Apparently my mom gave DD the bottle and she "drained it in 4 minutes". Um, are you kidding me?! Sit her up so it takes her some more time! And because she was acting hungry (ya think?) she gave her water. WATER!
I guess my FFFC is that I was so pissed that it ruined my night (no nookie for DH) and I wanted so badly to go off on my mom... but she did us a huge favor (and paid for dinner!), so I took the easy way out and just said something like peds don't recommend giving water anymore.
I was so mad. Still am. And I don't know if it was coincidence or not but last night was the first time DD has ever spit up. Ugh.

Ha! I'm right there with you! Well, just family dinner, but I'm hoping he's either sleeping so I can use the "No, we're not taking him out of his seat, he needs to sleep", or the "he's too fussy, just let me calm him down" and then that he falls asleep on me.
Terrible.
I brought DS into work the other day and SO many people that I have never even talked to walked up and saw awww and grabbed his hands! HELLO! arg I washed his hands as soon as I got in the car!

I know a lot of the moms who are staying at home right now are bored and their houses are spotless, but I'm completely overwhelmed and my house is a mess! I have 5 kids that are homeschooled, 4 dogs, 5 cats, a 5 bedroom 3 1/2 bath home to keep clean, a pool and large lawn to maintain.
I had a friend come over (who doesn't have children and works from home) and tell me she likes hanging out at my house because it's as dirty as hers, and it makes her feel better about her housekeeping skills. I wanted to slap her.
bored? no- exhausted and starting to go nutty yes. spotless??? thats funny

I only have the one kid. And although I work a few hours a week from home, I'm essentially a sahm. Our place is such a disaster that DH actually cleaned the bathrooms and ran the vac last night.
I burned my kid. Okay, technically I didn't burn him, but while bathing him in the sink yesterday, I left the water running and the hot water surged. He screamed. Screamed. I snatched him out and held him as he gulped and cried and screamed some more.
While telling him what a bad mom I was, I put him down on his changing pad to see how bad it was. He was bright red from mid thigh to his navel, everywhere the water had touched him. The redness went away within 20 minutes, but all day I kept checking him for signs of swelling or blistering. He is fine, but I'm still a mess.
All morning he clung to me for comfort. It broke my heart. I feel so guilty. I never leave the water running and always use a cooking thermometer to check the temp. But this one time I was careless and he suffered for it.
We will try to give him a bath tonight. Usually he loves his bath. But I'm so afraid that he is going to be traumatized from the last time.
My sister is starting to complain to my mom about how much money my mom and dad spend on K. First off, it's their money to spend how they see fit, and secondly, they've bailed Sis and BIL out by lending them money for bills, food, etc soooo many times it's crazy!
Like PP's above, I'm a SAHM and my house is a disaster. I keep up on dishes and laundry but there's clutter everywhere. I still don't have my taxes done and I need to balance the checkbook and pay bills. K's not on a schedule so I never know when she'll nap and how long that nap will be so it makes getting things done almost impossible.
Yesterday, I was juggling DD in one arm and groceries in the other when she spit up on the kitchen floor. The dog made a bee line for the mess and started licking it up so I let him. I figure it's high time he started pulling his weight around here.
I do not like my own niece. I love her, and would do anything for her, but I cannot stand her right now.
She is 10, and has been the only child, grandchild, and niece for 10 years, she is so jealous of my DD, and honestly if she was alone with my DD I think she would hurt her. When she found out I was pregnant she cried for 30 mins straight, claiming nobody is going to love her any longer. That didn't bother me, and I defended her saying she would adjust and this is just a chang for her. Now she is constantly making comments that she cannot wait until my DD is old enough to walk so she can boss her around and tell her what to do because she is the older cousin, and that my DD did not replace her as the #1 grandchild, that she is the princess and will always be the favorite. I never knew comments from a 10 year old could get under my skin so easily. Whenever she is around and either her mom (my sister) or her grandma (my mom) are holding my DD, she is clingy on them and tries to place herself between them and my DD, and I feel she is always in my DD's face. I am easily annoyed by her and honestly don't want to see her on Sunday for Easter.
This makes me sad, partly because I've come home from a 12+ hour day (40 minute commute each way too) and have eaten/pumped, and then gone to bed all without seeing my son for a day or two, since I don't want to wake him up (and also because I'm tired).
Me too! Accept it's just his family I want to get away from. If want mine to come with us.
