    Yall are totally justified in flaming me. I know its unsafe.  Not saying it is by any means. 

    I could wait till I get to work Gisa...and I probably should, maybe I will start.  The second is out of the question.  This mug with no makeup is an ugly one.

    I do have to ask though (again...not defending my actions)...but how many of you have eaten while driving or texted?  I know we arent supposed to do anything that distracts us, but there isnt one person who isnt guilty of doing something like this.  AGAIN...not saying what I am doing is OK, just stating everyone does things they shouldnt sometimes.

    ETA: I do get flamed by many family and friends IRL for doing this too.  I know I need to stop!

    I can honestly say that I don't eat or text while driving.  The worst I do is very rarely I will talk on the phone or drink something while driving.

    Fair enough! :-) I will make an effort to be a safer drivers thanks to you ladies. 

    PS...who was that girl that posted the other day she pumped on her morning commute? Did she get called out? lol

    That's a bit different.  If you have a hands free bra, once you are hooked up, you don't really have to do anything else.   I assume she hooked up before she started driving.

    Haha...its AGGIE.  Not Angie.  I was honestly curious about how that one went cause I never saw anything but her OP. 

    Also, I dont want to work today and not much else on the interweb is keeping my attention.

    Im heading out to lunch anyways, so I'll spare you anymore :-)

    I totally plan on doing this. I didn't know it was flammable, so I guess that is my confession. I'm not playing with my boobs while driving though. In fact, I like to think I will be more aware of the road because how embarrassing would it be to die hooked up to my breast pump.

    But anyway, I was just posting to say I agree with KFCupcake about not telling anyone IRL about the board and I wanted to tell Trudy she made me laugh with the DBC reference.

    I have three kids, two of them boys, and I've never been peed or pooped on. But it happens to DH all the time. It's not like I'm even careful about it. 
    The very first time that DH changed DS's diaper in the hospital he pooped and peed all over as he did it. Haha. It was pretty funny. Poor baby boy somehow peed on his own hat though.


    My fffc is that my mom is coming to town today for the weekend to visit and even though I'm super excited to see her, I always get really nervous because she is a chain smoker and always reaks of smoke. I tell her she needs to change her shirt, wash before she hold him every time but she slowly started just washing her hands. When you hold a baby they are up against you so ds smells like smoke still and it makes me so sad. I normally don't give him a bath every day but I do when my mom is town and I tell her that that is what I normally do so I won't hurt her feelings anymore. I wish I could give him 3 baths per day when she is here.

     My mom and stepfather are chain smokers and their house smells horribly of smoke.  I went there with lo last week for a visit and though they don't smoke in the house while we are there when we left she smelled so strongly of it.  I gave her a bath the instant I got home and was just so upset.  There is nothing I can do about it, I have talked to them before and nothing gets through, but I know how you feel.   

    I've given up all hope that my mom will ever quit. Here longs collapsed twice when I was a kid and my gma, her mom, is dying of colon cancer from smoking and she still hasn't quit. We always stay at my moms when we visit town but I had to break it to her that we won't anymore now that we have ds. I feel bad because she bought so many things for him at her house like a swing, tub, exersaucer, but I don't want to go in there. I always had to smell like smoke until I moved out of the house, I'm going to have my kid reak of smoke.

    I have no idea if this has been mentioned before, but I think 50 Shades of Grey is a terrible, terrible book and I judge people who rave about it.  And I did start it, but have no interest in continuing it because I couldn't stand either of the characters.

    I said it a couple weeks ago in FFFC, and I'll say it again...I loved 50 Shades of Grey. The porn was a bit much, so I started skipping over it to get to the "plot".

    After teaching the classics all school year long, it's nice to read some trashy novels every now and then!

    Same here.  I feel like there are a handful of people that don't care for me on here but in person I get along with just about everyone.  

    I'm the exact opposite.  IRL, I'm one of those who people don't really like until they get to know me.  I come of a bit bischy.  On the board, I am able to re-read and really think about what I say so I don't come off as bad as IRL.  Well, most of the time anyway.Big Smile

    *Im scared to sleep with no underwear on because I'm worried a bug is going to climb in my woo ha.

    *Also, sometimes I think inanimate objects have feelings.

     *i have a hard time deleting pictures off memory cards or my phone even after I've saved them to my computer.

    *lastly, I wish I had the quick wit and sense of humor as some of the ladies on this board!

    I think that in some way pumping is worse.  When I pumped the cups were always moving a little here and there.  Not to mention if I moved wrong one would slip.  I felt like I had to be pretty careful or I would have milk all over the place and then I would have to cry.

    If I were to pump and drive, I bet I would look at it so many times. I always want to see how much milk I am getting, and some lucky times I fill up a bottle. So I would have to check or make a mess.

  • I think pumping and driving is just as distracting as anything else. 

    But, I haven't driven in over 5 years. So what do I know.

    I completely agree, but I only pumped for like a week so I don't have a lot of experience with pumping so I wasn't going to say much. I felt like it's not as simple as hooking yourself up and driving. I mean what if it slipped off or you start to leak? What happens when you fill the bottle? Not to mention how do you know when you filled the bottle if you aren't checking it while driving down the road.

    Pumping while driving doesn't seem very safe either, even with a hands free bra.

    I think having babies has been bad for my marriage. We were sickening before. Truly never fought. So compatible. Great companions. Good friends. Never got tired of each other. Now we're snippy and frustrated and arguing. I yell, he clams up or leaves, we go to bed in a huff. The couple that used to talk about EVERYTHING now can't even calmly discuss what to do about Etta's sleep regression. I don't regret having the babies, but I do lament that it's taken such a toll on my marriage.

    You just highlighted my relationship with my husband! Before baby we got along famously, never fought once in our whole relationship, cuddled and were always told by friends and family that they hope to find someone to have a relationship like us. Now we fight, cant do things calmly, he has such a short temper before he gets frustrated (dont get me started when Wyatt is crying) and we do go to bed mad. It is exhausting on how frustrating it is. I have pondered leaving. More than once.  

    I can sympathize because that was me and my ex.  With me and my current DH, we are totally a team because our relationship started with kids in the picture.  I almost think sometimes that it was better.  He's only known me as who I am today and can't compare who I used to be without kids, so there is nothing to "miss."  Sure we still fight and disagree at times, but it's rarely about kids and that kind of responsibility.  Having kids is a huge change in a relationship, hang in there!

  • Yeah, I don't think I could pump and drive. I'm always looking down at my nipples to cheer them on :)  I get satisfaction at watching the milk flow into the bottles. I also drive to work with LO in the car so there's no way I'd be doing that.

    My FFFC is that I've been back at work since Wednesday and am not that sad about it. I cried a bit when I was driving in on Wednesday and got choked up the first time I left him at daycare, but it wasn't those all day cry fests that other people seem to have. I mean, I miss him and all, but I am happy to be back at work. Every time someone at work or daycare looks at me sympathetically and asks how I'm adjusting, I feel like I need to act all sad, but I'm really not. It makes me feel like a bad mom. I do feel really good about the daycare he's in and know he's well taken care of, so that probably helps, and of course I love seeing him at the end of the day.

    Seriously! I think that pumping and driving is definitely a form or distracted driving, but if you don't look down at it, then I think it is safer than texting or anything else you do where you're using your hands/looking at something else. I wouldn't do it though.id be afraid it'd come off and spill, but at the same time, I've never used a hands free bra, so maybe it's not common for it to slip off like it is when I'm holding the pump but not paying attention (at home, not driving).

  • I'm the opposite of some of you - I feel that my relationship with DH has actually improved since we've had our LO. We are both older (32 and 51) so have lived on our own a lot and it took a lot of getting used to living with someone else. I would often get annoyed with him of not coming home when he said he would or acting (as I saw it) like he was still a single man by doing what he wanted with his time and not putting enough into 'us'.

    However, since we've had LO, he has become a great dad, who rushes home to spend time with LO and makes sure I get breaks to look after myself. I always knew he'd be a good dad but am impressed that he is a great dad in my opinion. 

    My FFFC - I am loving my maternity leave. I will go back to work when LO is 5 1/2 months old and I wish I could stay home with him longer. But people are expecting me to be desperate to get back to work (especially as I am seen as a 'career girl' and am going back to a nice promotion) so I am lying to my office and telling them I am keen to come back and get into it all again. I feel if I tell them I am loving my mummy life, then I will be put onto the mummy track and my work prospects will suffer.

  • Yikes! I got a call out in the FFFC start up thread.

    I was a pothead up until the month we started TTC. I didn't want to be flamed for it so I didn't share in the UO. I can't really drink since I lost weight a few years ago, and my tolerance sucks. It sucks even more now and headaches are all to familiar for me - migraines. I EBF and no, I haven't smoked since over a year ago, July 4th, 2011 to be exact. I love marijuana, hangovers aren't bad, it makes me feel good, relaxes me and I have a history of anxiety. I will not smoke until I am done BF and that will be when I am away from LO. I'm still apprehensive if I will even smoke when I'm done BF because I'm a mom. But I will never go back to the old days (before DH) of getting high every day after work, go to the gym, come home, cook an awesome meal, and make jewelry. Those were my single days. So there. I love me some mary jane. Flame flame flame.

    And I used to be a Vegas rat and did some extracurricular drugs until the sun came up. Vegas doesn't sleep so neither did I.

    Everyone in the office is ordering Chinese food today.  I declined because I'm watching what I'm eating and already ate out for lunch twice this week.  But, them talking about it almost made me change my mind....until....they changed the place they were ordering from to a CHEAPER place.

    CHEAPER Chinese food doesn't appeal to me!  I'll eat my Smart Ones pizza.

    The cheaper the Chinese food the better. Mmmmmm Magic Wok. Too bad all of the sauce, preservatives, and MSG gives LO (and me) an upset stomach.

    Yup this is me as well. Like dixee said, I am the type of person that has to "grow" on people. I am very blunt and a total b!tch IRL. It takes a while for people to realize that I mean no harm by it, I just let my mouth run. And like you jk, being on the internet allows some time for me to "cool off" before replying and re-reading/re-wording really helps my "reputation" on here as well.

    I can honestly say that I don't eat or text while driving.  The worst I do is very rarely I will talk on the phone or drink something while driving.

    OP, all I can think about while reading your post is a story/strand of pictures we had to endure in drivers ed class. A HS girl was doing her make up and was struck head on by another driver who was distracted. The mascara brush lodged into her eye on impact and she lost that eye, obviously. So it's not even about you losing control and hitting someone. If this girl would have been paying attention she may have been able to avoid the other distracted driver and save her eye.

    Like Gisa already mentioned, try doing your make up and work, or heaven forbid-wake up 5mins earlier!! Yeesh. 

    I will admit I text at stop lights, drink soda/whatever while driving, but I would never eat while driving. I am not coordinated enough for that.

  • I have sex dreams about my high school boyfriend an average of once every week. Sometimes more. 

    DH and I haven't been living on the love boat either since N was born. He started a new job when N was 4 weeks old. We had to relocate for it. I still only know one person here and he works very long hours. N wakes up 3-4 times per night on average. He's never gotten up with N at night, during the week or weekend. It sometimes bugs me, but we've argued about it too much so I've just let it go. During the week, I don't expect him to because of his long work hours, but it'd be nice to sleep for more than 2-3 hours at a time on the weekend. He has war-related PTSD and major sleep issues, so him waking up at night out of his sleep would be a big deal and more trouble than it's worth really... I'm just a bit jealous of his sleep. I've never left N and gone out to do anything alone. DH spends every Sunday afternoon out doing something by himself for a few hours. Anyway, I'm getting long-winded. My point is that it's tough. It's really tough. It's hard to find the balance between being parents and being spouses, and having some free time for yourself in there too. (And we still haven't had sex, btw.)

  • I have a new one:  Sometimes I lie to DH about how the kids slept today so I have an excuse as to why the house isn't neater.  The real reason?  I watch Young and the Restless during nap time which eats up at least 45 minutes.

    I tell DH that Pilar was super fussy.  She has enough days that she is so I can get away with it. 

    I'm bumping or facebooking.

    Yup.  And another confession to go along with that; I've spent $ on Facebook games.  :shame:

    I use this excuse almost daily! I mean, I can't clean my apartment AND try to get bronze in under a week.

  • Mine is that I get up with LO first thing in the morning to nurse her and then typically I let my husband sleep for a bit and then he takes LO so I can go back to sleep for a little while.  He is so out of it when I get up to nurse her that he has no idea what time it is.  I always tell him she got up earlier than she did so it makes it look like I let him sleep longer and then he won't think I'm lazy for going back to bed when he is watching her.

    Yikes! I got a call out in the FFFC start up thread.

    I was a pothead up until the month we started TTC. I didn't want to be flamed for it so I didn't share in the UO. I can't really drink since I lost weight a few years ago, and my tolerance sucks. It sucks even more now and headaches are all to familiar for me - migraines. I EBF and no, I haven't smoked since over a year ago, July 4th, 2011 to be exact. I love marijuana, hangovers aren't bad, it makes me feel good, relaxes me and I have a history of anxiety. I will not smoke until I am done BF and that will be when I am away from LO. I'm still apprehensive if I will even smoke when I'm done BF because I'm a mom. But I will never go back to the old days (before DH) of getting high every day after work, go to the gym, come home, cook an awesome meal, and make jewelry. Those were my single days. So there. I love me some mary jane. Flame flame flame.

    And I used to be a Vegas rat and did some extracurricular drugs until the sun came up. Vegas doesn't sleep so neither did I. 

    You get no flaming for pot from me, so long as you don't do it around your kid and you don't do it and drive (yes, it can impair driving, even though none of the smokers I know will admit it).

    Thanks. No way will I ever do around my kid. And yes I have smoked and driven in the past and felt fine to drive. I gave myself a pep talk when I got behind the wheel and make sure I was on my game. Would I smoke and drive with LO in the car? Hell no. So with that statement, I would say yes, it impairs your driving judgment. I will never smoke and drive again. I have a kid, a family and if I ever fuqued that up, I would never forgive myself.
