FFFC and TGIfreakingF

This week seems to basically have taken a month to go by... I thought it was Friday on Tuesday and it's been that kind of week since then!

My FFFC- I'm terrible about washing LO's toys.  I saw a post the other day about how someone washed Sophie every other day. Uhhhhh... I gave her a quick rinse last night.  It was her first bath.

My other FFFC- Sometimes I feel guilty about not feeling guilty for wanting to work full time.  I like my job, I enjoy the adult interaction, and I realized quite quickly that I was never cut out to be a SAHM.  I have nothing against SAHMs and frankly I'm in awe sometimes but I just can't imagine not working.

 

Re: FFFC and TGIfreakingF

  • I'm with you on the toy cleaning.  We don't always rinse toys that hit the floor, but I do try to remember to rinse those that got dropped in a public place.  Doesn't always happen though.

    My FFFC is I'm scared to crib train.  I cherish the ability to sleep, even if it means bedsharing.  I know it'll be good for him to learn how to sleep by himself, and it'd be nice to be back in my own bed.  But since I'm on my own at night (DH works 6pm to 3am) and DS is ready to be up when the sun's up, I'm scared to try again.

  • DS was sick most of the week and DH stayed home with him for three days. Yesterday was apparently a bad day with lots of fussing. When I walked through the door DS started smiling and was a happy camper. I feel bad that DH had a hard time but it made me so happy that as soon as Mommy was home, DS was happy!
  • I also was reminded that maybe I should wash toys too :)  The only time Sophie was cleaned was when she got run over by a car.  I had to get the tire marks off her.

    Haha poor Sophie!  I'm considering operating on Sophie to remove her squeaker.  I think it annoys DS more than anything and when he falls asleep in his carseat holding her then shifts around it wakes him up.  Plus the squeaker makes me feel like I've given him a dog toy... which, let's be honest, Sophie is basically a seriously expensive dog toy! 

     

  • namara im with you....still bedsharing and im tired as it is....dh misses our alone snuggles at night but i could care less if it means i get a sorta half decent nights sleep
  • Thought of another one... I put on my first non-nursing bra this week.  I haven't been nursing in over a month...

    I love bedsharing.  Better sleep, and snuggles from baby and hubs.  I can bedshare til he's in college right? 

    I suspect he'd kick you out of his bed before middle school. Stick out tongue

    Although I do enjoy the snuggles, neither of us is sleeping well.  I can't roll around to get comfortable without waking him, and seeing me next to him makes him think he needs to be suckling constantly to get back to sleep.  I really need to take the plunge and transfer him, but I'm scared of having to do it by myself.

  • My FFFC - the only toys I ever wash are soft toys that can be thrown in with the laundry.  My oldest is 2 1/2 years old and I have never washed any of the hard toys she plays with.  Ever.  And some of them are hand me down from my brother's kids.  And I have never washed them.  And I don't plan on washing them unless they get puke, pee or poop on them.

    Our squeaker broke so amazon refunded us the money for Sophie... double win!

    My FFFC- I'm increasingly happy that my ILs moved away. 

    I'm super jealous your in-laws moved away. I can't stand mine and I hate feeling like I have to hide from them (mostly MIL) all the time.

     My FFFC is that I know I should be more diligent in making ds sleep in his bed but it's just so much easier to pull him in bed with me when he wakes up at night.  I miss that he used to sttn.

  • My FFFC is that I swore I would never let DD watch television before the age of two, and I would certainly never use it as a babysitter. 

    Flash to two hours of non-stop fussiness today where NOTHING would make her happy, and on the tv went.

    It was an absolute blissful 30 minutes of silence. I regret nothing.
