At this point, I gave DH a high five and we both walked away. There was about 3 couples that stopped and listened to the whole thing and I didn't even care. I have to say, although it was entirely inappropriate place to this, it was incredible gratifying. We ruined their precious tour and made ours a total success...

This is something I could see DH and I doing. Good for you.

I guess I'll add "no immature parents-to-be" to my list of hopes for the hospital tour. Completely inappropriate setting.

(FTR, I'd be all for public humiliation. I just don't think a hospital is at all an ok place to do this.) But hey. as long as you made YOUR tour a total success, I guess that's all that matters.

In most instances, I would agree, but this jackwagon owes them $20K. That's a lot of money! I can't say that if that opportunity came up, I wouldnt take it. And, at least they waited until the end. ::shrugs::

One of my coworkers won't quit talking. Holy crap. I just want some peace and quiet before we enroll 21 kids later on this morning.

I'm also guilty of my kid peeing in the bathtub and continuing to give him a bath. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's done that.

Also, I have eleventy-billion things to do and elderly cat barfed all over the hall this morning so my day started with cleaning tuna out of carpet. If he still had nuts, I might kick them.

Hmm

If this makes me immature in your eye, I'm completely ok with that. Compared to what he took from us and about 25 other families, he is owed at lot worse treatment. One couple even slit up due to all the stress of the whole situation and there was a child involved. He is a complete dirt bag and in many ways, a predator. He should be behind bars. There aren't many occasions that I would do such a thing in a hospital.... but he had that and much more coming his way.... We are more than pleased with OUR tour, TYVM.

I'm not at all saying that Roxy is lying, but honestly, how the fcuk do any of you know that I am actually Anita, due in September? We are all going on each other's word here. So maybe he owes them 20k.

Either way, I think it was immature, regardless of the money that he may or may not owe her. There is a time and a place for everything. This wasn't it, IMO.

fair enough.

Ugh, I get mom of the year on this one.

Last night I was giving Ashton a bath, I asked him before I put him in if he wanted to go potty. He said no. As soon as I put his feet in the tub, he peed. I saw him, and I didn't change the water. I washed him up with the pee water & got him out of the tub. Flame away.

Hahaha! Shhh... That's frowned apon? Isnt urine in sterile for that reason?!? OOPS!

ha-ha well I mean, I know he probably pees in there every time, but this time I actually witnessed the act. I thought that might be flamable.

If you get flamed on this then I might as well too - it's happened before and I'm sure will happen again.

Uh yeah that happens way more often than I'm willing to admit in my house...DD loves to poop in the tub so I'm constantly having to empty it out, clean it and start over. I'm so not going through that for a little pee!

To add my own, I've been watching Dawson's Creek endlessly on Nextflix for the past week. It is on all. the. time. The characters have started to enter in my dreams. I feel 15 again. Oh boy.

DH and I get on Netflix kicks and will watch one show obsessively for days until we've seen every episode. Right now, it's Dawson's Creek. How did we ever take that show seriously??

My FFFC- i HATE HATE HATE being pregnant, if i didnt get a ridiciulous cute baby at the end, I would never go through it again. Between the miscarriages (i have had 3) and the ridiculous torturous symptoms I have had (mostly the itching from head to toe 24 hours aday with no relief, but also heartburn sweaty palms and feet, hot and cold at the same time, contractions starting at 26 weeks) I really really dont know if I will go for a third kiddo as orginally planned, but I also know that just like w. last one...in a year or two i will become very forgetful and get baby fever no matter how much i review my pregnany journals and see how miserable I am now.oy. These kids better love their mama.

I just got the death glare from my boss for my burst of laughter! I hate you. I tried putting him on his potty, the big potty & using the potty ring from his potty for the big potty. Nothing. I am pretty sure that my dreams of having him out of diapers before this baby gets here are gone.

Daje12112 · June 2012

I don't usually post on the FFFC threads, so I don't know if this is really worthy or not, but I am hurt that my MIL has taken what seems to me no interest in her granddaughter coming. This will be the first granddaughter for her, and her first biological grandchild too (my FIL had a daughter from a previous marriage who has 2 sons, and my DS is from a previous marriage). I know communitcation goes both ways, but the times I have tried to talk to her on the phone she either doesn't answer or is super busy, and she has yet to call me to ask me anything about LO or how I am feeling. I understand that she is 140 miles away and she has a farm and fiber mill, but really?? Your first granddaughter and first biological grandchild and you have yet to call and ask me how we are doing? WTF?

While I am sure he is a total crook, a blog isn't really concrete evidence of anything. And I still think it was immature and totally the wrong time and place to confront him.

And I'm ok with that. I'm it some dumb @ss that did t recognize the dynamic of the situation. I knew exactly what I was doing going into it. And you know what, it felt great! I could care less about his feelings. The fact that people took it upon themselves to stop and list for some shock value doesn't really bother me too much.

My FFFC is that not only have I been watching old Laguna Beach episodes on MTV a few times this week, I also DVRed a bunch of them!

The other night DH was like "um...what IS that recorded on the DVR?" me: (very casually) oh, MTV is running old episodes of LB....I thought they would be good to watch for mindless tv when I'm up feeding the baby...." that is what I sort of thought, mostly I was excited! DH rolled his eyes bc he HATED that show and The Hills.

It really pains me to say this...but I came to the realization last week that my niece is kind of a brat. I love her to death, she's a sweet girl -- it' just a tough situation.
I know she's at that tough age (6), but it just irks me because my brother & SIL do NOTHING about it. She's not very nice to her little sister, has complete meltdowns if things don't go EXACTLY her way. I just keep thinking, "You're creating a monster".
Again, I love her like crazy. I just see that she's probably one of those kids in school that isn't very nice......

Are we related? My niece is 5. She was born at only 26 weeks, and her parents have treated her like a miracle ever since. Dont get me wrong, she's been through a lot, but she's at that age now where she needs some boundaries and limits.

Last week at my shower, SIL and niece walked in. Niece had pink streaks in her hair. Why? Because I'm having a girl and she wanted pink hair! My SIL thinks dying the hair of a 5 year old is totally fine because she'll get it cut again before school starts anyway. Niece also had a melt down when I told her that no, she couldn't help me open presents because that's what my DH was there for.

My confession is that I somehow managed to overdraw my personal checking account last night. (I haven't done that in YEARS!) So now my $2 In and Out Burger cost me $12 after the bank fees. And i still kind of think it was worth it.

(And yes, I can afford my baby, and no I'm not filing BK)

BakerMommy · June 2012

I am not taking DD to a birthday this weekend mainly because it's Disney princess themed. Yes, it's also far away (my excuse), but she'd have an awesome time and see family. However, I hate the Disney princesses with all of my being and don't want her to learn who they are, start pointing them out in stores and start asking for crap covered in princesses (yes, she would latch on to characters after one afternoon).

I'm all for decorum (and I'm rather non-confrontational) but I think you were justified on this little outburst. The guy sounds like a totally callous, self-centred d-bag and I imagine your opportunities to confront him are limited.

My own lame FFFC (which will show you just how non-confrontational I really am):

If I'm chatting online or texting with a friend and I make a joke or am trying to smoothly navigate a tricky conversation (which is always made trickier by the fact of being a typed convo), I've realized that I will actually do a nervous laugh out loud, like I would in a verbal conversation to try to convey a light-hearted attitude to the whole thing. Not really flame-worthy, but maybe make-fun-of worthy.

And I'd love to tell 1st tri about my prosciutto-turkey sandwich, my coffee w/ breakfast, and the bacon- (hopefully runny) egg-and cheese I plan on having when I get to NYC tomorrow morning...

Since when is six a tough age? (Not trying to be rude or sarcastic, i promise. DS is only 2 and I havent been around any kids that age since I was a kid.) I though it was 2-3 and then it was 12-18 for the tough ages. Dont six year-olds just watch cartoons and play with dolls?

This morning I got my hubby to shave my vag for me. I've given up on even trying... my belly is giant and hard as a rock... I haven't seen my dear vagina in months.

Unless I'm going swimming, it's a full-on bush. I don't even care. And when I give birth it'll be a bush, then, too. I think it's dumb to go get a wax or try to be all fixed up to give birth. What's the point? You're going to be pushing out blood, poop, mucus. You might be ripping. The doctor isn't admiring your trim job.

My FFFC:

We had a baby Robin in our back yard yesterday. He could only fly about a foot off the ground before falling back to earth. I chased him around my yard for about 15 minutes with a towel before I finally caught him. Meanwhille, DH was telling me to stop, it probably has a disease, I shouldn't touch him, etc. I ignored him and picked up the bird anyways. I told DH I wanted to keep him and feed him until he was ready to fly away. (I did this several times growing up) DH was having none of it. After much arguing I finally told DH I at least wanted to take a picture of him and then let him go. He agreed, so I handed the baby to him and went inside to grab my phone. On my way back outside, the baby got away from DH. He ended up getting under my fence and away from my yard. About 5 seconds later I saw the mommy Robin land close to the baby and they started calling to each other. I left him alone after that.

I know I shouldn't mess with the wildlife, but I couldn't leave him alone. I'm glad his mommy was there, so at least he has somewhat of a chance, but I was also disappointed that he got away and I didn't get to keep him and raise him the rest of the way.

I just got back from my GD testing crap, and I was annoyed that I could read the posts but couldn't respond to them on my phone.

Anyway, I officially have a FFFC for today.

Backstory: My grandmother passed away 2 weeks ago. Both my grandmother and grandfather were unable to care for themselves, so my mom moved in with them 9 years ago to care for them, and has been unable to work at all for the last 2-3 years because they require constant care, and has no real savings anymore since she's used it all.

Since my grandmother passed away, one of my grandfather's children from a previous marriage has volunteered to care for him, which is greatly appreciated--and literally the day my grandmother passed, he moved in with his daughter.

My flame: The daughter had the water cut off to the house that belongs to my grandparents and didn't tell my mom about it, so she figured it out when she went to use water.

It's been 2 weeks. Give her a chance to get on her feet.

I want to punch her (the daughter) in the face. Immediately.

Steph+J:

woah. Who owns the house? And it's kind of assholish that the daughter waited until your grandma died to offer to help her grandpa, IMO.

I think that actually, the house is still in my great-grandparents (my grandmother's parents) name, which legally would now be my grandfather's, but as the caretaker, his daughter should have been sure to communicate with my mother about it.

My mom also has every intention of paying the bills that she incurs while she's still living there, because she doesn't expect to have them paid for her. My siblings and I are offering to help her with that until she gets established in a new job.

And yes---that's what we're ALL saying about his daughter riding in on her white horse. He has 5 children from his first marriage, and in 9 years, none have offered to take my mom's place--and my grandparents never had any children together.
