FFFC! Or whatever you call it :)
Isn't Friday supposed to be the day of the week where we all confess something flame free? Let your freak flag fly kinda day? A little shamecation if you will? Go for it, ladies!
Mine: I get really jealous when DD gets all cute and smiley for DH but not for me. Sure, fathers and daughters, loving relationships, blah blah blah... but what the HECK, DD, I am busting my fat a*s (which is now fatter than ever thanks to YOU) all DAY, can't I get some sugar up in MY kitchen!???? And this dude just strolls in at 6:30 and you are shining like prime time style up in here?!?
This petty interlude was brought to you by post-pregnancy hormones. Now back to regularly scheduled programming.

Re: FFFC! Or whatever you call it :)
This! Also, I am dreading going back to work, but not because I'll miss DD...because I've gotten used to staying in bed until 9 and not changing out my PJs until noon or later.....
Also, I'm super-over the whole "breast is best" thing. I EBF, but I'm pretty sure my recent diet of cookies, mac & cheese, and vienna sausages isn't making magically nutritious milk.
I agree with you both!!:)
My fffc: When my in-laws are over, I take dd into her room to breastfeed and stay there for WAYYY longer then I need to. Its not super-scandalous I know but its my way of sticking it to them haha.
My fffc is that I can't wait until DD2 is old enough to Ferber. Sure I enjoy snuggling with her....but it gets old when it takes 2 hours to get her down for the night. When we did Ferber with DD1 I got my evenings back and it was nice.
Goodbye little angel(7/22/2011)....see you in heaven
Goodbye my second angel (9/18/2011)
What's his name and what are you planning to change it to?
I don't think this is flameful. I think it's brave for you to change it.
Have you decided on a new name for your LO? Does your H support the idea to change it?
My mom was way more concerned about paying attention to my niece, who she was afraid would be jealous, than my dd. This was the only time she'll see my daughter as a baby. She spent such little amount of time with her. We had asked my mom to watch the baby months ago, so my husband and I could have a night to ourselves. That never happened because she was too wrapped up in my niece/sister. She said she felt "bad".
When we left, she was all tears because she doesn't want to be a long distance grandma. Eye roll.
Oh and while I am at it, she believes the fact that I am doing so well in life is because of luck. She doesn't credit me at all. She admits giving my sister more, not just monetarily here, because she doesn't have the capabiliies like I do.
Your relationship with your mom sounds like my H's with his mom. His older brother gets everything given to him. I mean, his mom has bought cars, motorcycles, 4-wheelers, and a computer for the older brother, not to mention giving him TWO HOUSES (one was her old house- which older brother, his wife and son, and their two huge dogs destroyed out of neglect- and the other was his recently deceased grandparents' home). On the other hand, when DH became the first person in his family to graduate from university, she made him give her 50$ gas money to go to his graduation. It's pissed DH off so much that he decided if she ever wants to see DS, she can come here and see him. He won't drive the 4-5 hours to see her.
My confession is that several of our friends are getting married/got married this summer, and so next summer there will probably be some babies born. I like DS being the only baby in our circle of friends and getting all the attention and I'm already kind of sad for him that he'll have to share it in the future.
Yesterday was dh's birthday. He has a long standing tradition of going to Hooters to celebrate with a bunch of friends. To keep tradition alive, we went to hooters, except this time it was just with another couple. Since we were celebrating I figured I would have a couple cocktails, three to be exact.
Well, the three drinks really did me, combined with being overly tired. Right before I passed out at 9:40, I told dh that I think I drank too much and might not hear the baby. He spent his birthday evening taking care of LO, not what he had planned. Oops.
That really stinks!! :
My mil is basically still raising my sil and her son. I honestly don't think my sil has ever even purchased diapers and her son is almost three. With that being said, my dh is completely independent and doesn't need his parents. While it sucks that my daughter will probably never get the same attention from her grandma that my nephew gets, at least I know we dont need to rely on them for anything. And I also take it as a learning experience to treat my children God willing we have more: fairly and equally.
Yeah, my mom absolutely supports my sister and her kids. She even refinanced her house and car to do so.
She got mad at me telling her I would no longer paying a life insurance premium. She cosigned student loans for me, and she wants to make sure she isn't stuck with these loans. This is understandable, however she is wanting me to pay for the premiums for 3x the amount, and I told her I carry my own life insurance. The loans will be taken care of, if something should happen.
Ok, rant is over.
