FFFC!
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC!
I've been particularly bad this week.
-Last night DH was sick and wanted pizza for dinner. He ordered it and I picked it up. However, I called the pizza place and changed the order to include a Cinnapie. When DH asked about it, I just shrugged my shoulders.
-I have been bumping at work, way more than usual. Short timers syndrome. 24 days until I am a SAHM
- It's my team's Friday to bring in breakfast for the school staff. This morning I got donut holes and on my drive to work, I opened the box a had three of them before I even got to school.
I guess those weren't that bad. I will try to be worse next week. Happy friday!
We have done nothing to the nursery yet. And I do mean nothing. We have 9 weeks until my due date and I'm starting to panic.
I believe attachment parenting is the early form of helicopter parenting and therefore a bad idea. ::puts on flame retardant suit::
Ha ha. No flame thrower with in reach today and even if there was, I'm with you on this one.
Seriously, why is a good idea to put your child in YOUR bed....how do these parents ever do "it" again? And anyone who is a proponent of co-sleeping has never slept with my son. More than once I have been awoken to a karate chop to the face. We do make rare exceptions once in a while when DS is sick, but since he was 6 weeks old, he was in his own room in his own crib.
Yesterday after another rough and frustrating day at work I decided to move my last day up by two weeks. Which is in two weeks from now. I still don't know how/when to tell my boss.
I would love to fax a sick note with a big "*** u" on it the first day of leave but i've been advised against it..
I let DD watch tv while eating dinner (at the table)
And she usually eats something different then what DH and I are having...unless it is something like a pasta dish.

We love when DS sleeps in our bed. As he grows, he is not going to want to snuggle like he does when he's little, and we cherish that time now. It's a non-issue in our family, and it annoys me when people say it's a bad idea. Why? Because we just happen to like snuggling with our kid? I don't think a kid ever went to college still sleeping with their parents, so I'm not worried about it. And, clearly we found a way to conceive Baby #2 somewhere other than the bed...our sex life has not suffered at all.
I've been having some intense pelvic bone stretching pain, but I totally play it up when DH is around. This way I get to take the car to work (he takes the train), and he doesn't want me getting up to do anything. I think I might even be able to get him to do my laundry (I do the household laundry, but we keep our personal laundry separate - he doesn't think it is my job to wash his clothes
).
I went and bought all new makeup yesterday - and used our joint credit card to pay for it. I don't feel guilty at all. If this is what I need to do to feel good about myself, this is what I'm going to do.
Was just wondering where baby #2 will sleep. You can't possibly have 2 kids in bed with you. And I was also wondering what helicopter parenting is. Never heard of it.
Sorry, SummerMama....Didn't mean to sound judgemental. I still don't agree with it as a parenting style, but if it works for you then great! We still snuggle, but we have snuggle time for that (on the sofa reading books, Saturday mornings when we all pile into bed to have breakfast and read the paper.) But in our house, sleep time means sleep.
My parents were divorced at a young age and my mom would have been considered an "attachement style" parent. I slept with her and continued to do so after she got remarried for many years. I had a hard time with staying by myself and anxiety for a long time (through college). After counseling it became apparent that I just didn't have those coping skills because I never had to develop them. I strongly believe the "attachement style" was a huge contributing factor to my anxiety. My mom is fantastic and did the best she could, but it did have a negative affect on me. But all kids are different, so if you feel that it is best, then by all means continue to do so

We go by love and logic and here are there 3 types of parenting (including helicopter) Clicky
FWIW: I don't think AP is another form of being a helicopter parenting

This is my first post on FFFC....
I've forgotten to take my prenatals all week..and I'll probably forget today too..
I ate a whole large bag of skittles...in one day!!! That can't be good...
There are wayy more than 3 types of parenting! Even when you take a very broad look at them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenting_styles
Yesterday I went to the mall to pick up a hostess gift for my shower tomorrow.
I decided to take a detour into See's and purchased a 1/2lb box of Bordeaux's for myself.
This morning I ate half that box for breakfast >.<
Ditto. I love having my 4 year old in bed with me, and the weird part is that DH sleeps on the couch darn near every night because of back and reflux issues. Somehow I was able manage conceiving #4. There are other places to have sex besides in bed (shower, anyone?!), and for us, sex isn't a big part of our relationship. Our intimacy is mainly through lots of hugs and kisses. We like it like that.

I don't blame you, their chocolate is awesome! I finished off my Easter candy yesterday. I've been pretty good this pregnancy about trying to eat well, but for some reason could not resist the chocolate my Mom sent me. I'm both happy and sad it's gone.
umm yeah obviously there are more then 3. I was just referencing the L&L model and providing their definitions. I wasn't saying there were only 3................

I am 1 month into it and although it's not as bad as I thought I want something sweet so bad!! Maybe I just want it more now that I can't have it. I told everyone that comes to visit in the hospital must bring me a coke and/or ice cream.
summermama - was just curious. We had daughter in our bed for a while but she just got too crazy and I started to get bigger and there just wasn't enough room in our queen bed.
Going along with AP and parenting styles... Im a first time mom. I have no idea what kind of parent Im going to be or what kind of kid Im going to have. I honestly think its kind of silly to be a die-hard-any-style parent. Since when is parenting textbook?
People keep (jokingly and not) trying to call dibs on holding the baby first. Little do they know that my mom is under strict instructions that not only is my 9yo little sister the first one to hold him after grandmas, I want her to be brought back by herself before any one else. Its going to piss off alot of family, and I dont care. Every week we read whats growing and how big he is together. She is so excited and has been a huge help this whole time. She gets dibs.
and I use eating as an excuse to do kick counts
lol i love this. Those things are impossible to keep track of.
Some of my baby sheets came in a sack made out of the same material as the sheets. It has a velcro closure. I wash and dry the baby socks inside the sack so that they don't disappear on me. Probably weird to do, but I just didn't see how those tiny little things weren't going to get lost otherwise.
