FFFC

CountingUp · September 2012

I have a coffee date with a friend in an hour. I told my husband I'd need him to watch the baby while I shower. He's sleeping again. (I understand as it was a horrible night - heck, I'd be sleeping if I could be) My FFFC, is that I want to leave the baby and just go for coffee on my own. Totally on my own. Me, coffee and a book.

My other FFFC is that I refused the breast from midnight - 5am. There was lots of crying/yelling and not much sleeping but she seemed exhausted and mad but there were no tears. I'm beat and want to cry.

One more: I deliberately ignored a woman trying to get past me in gymboree yesterday. If you a)bring a jogging stroller in to the mall and b) don't have the sense to use manners it's unlikely that I'm going to be very considerate.

My DH is heading to Asia for 2 weeks on business in October. Since I only work part-time, my MIL is coming to stay over the weekend so I can work Fri thru Sun. That means I have Mon thru Thurs off that first week. Yea!!! But I still have to pay for 3 days of daycare so I'm so very very tempted to take him there for a few days or at least half days so that I can have some much overdue me time....shopping, catch up on things around the house, sleep! I feel a little guilty but at the same time, I feel like I could really use some time alone for the first time in, umm, 9 months! I mentioned it to DH and he was all for it. So at least I have his support.

CountingUp... I know how you feel I'd like some alone time too sometimes.

My FFFC: Last night after LO woke for the 2nd time and I picked her up and carried her to our room my DH said "see that's just telling me that she wins" I took her back to her room and let her cry. I cried too... this am when she woke coughing and stuffy I told DH just to butt out from now on because obviously he's more concerned about winning and losing than taking poper care of DD and maybe he should just leave.

I didn't mean it, but I was pissed. I felt like a bad mom because I let his comments dictate how I cared for my child.

PS we did do the CIO method and she does sleep unless there's a problem. DH never believes there is a problem, and ALWAYS says I'm spoiling her. I hate that.

I'm sorry your night was rough too... That sucks. It is nice however, to know I wasn't alone last night

Hope your day is better than your night!! I will keep my fingers crossed that we both sleep tonight!

I fully support welfare programs for people who need them. But I was pissed when the cashier at the grocery store asked me was I paying with food stamps because I had a ton of groceries. Ughh!! Same thing when people assume DH and I aren't married because we are young. We will be married for 4 years in November and yes I married at the ripe age of 21yo. Wish people would mind their business!!

preciousmetal · September 2012

DH's idea of taking care of DS in the middle of the night is picking him up out of his crib and putting him in bed with us. He then goes back to sleep bc he's used to me BFing DS. But since DS is getting teeth, it's become painful for me to nurse him, so we've stopped BFing. Two weeks ago. And DH still doesn't get it. So I still have DH climbing all over me at night, screaming because he's hungry, and DH is sleeping like a log. Watching him sleep makes me want to punch him.

I'm annoyed about work, too. Today is my colleagues last day and he's really milking it. All the work he hasn't had a chance to finish has come to MY desk instead of the boss' desk, where it should go. The big thing that really got to me though was he pulled me aside and said, "Hey, are you a big 'goodbye' crier? Because if you are, we can say goodbye now and get it over with." WTF? Get over yourself. You got a new job, not a death sentence. I like the guy a lot and I have a lot of respect for him, but today is just rediculous.

This happened to me once. I was in my gym clothes. I was buying cereal bars, and the cashier said "honey, these won't be covered by your food stamps" I took offense instantly and said, "um, thanks but I pay for my own groceries, what made you think I was on food stamps anyway?" She said, the way you are dressed, and the yellow paper in your hand. -- the yellow paper was my grocery list. I asked to see her manager.

I cried during the night too. Crappy night for us too. DS didn't sleep and I wanted to hold him, DH wanted to let him CIO. He was up for 3 hrs. Lets hope we all have a better night tonight.

Mine today is I SAH, but DH still makes the majority of dinners. Sometimes I feel like I fail at being a SAH wife because I hate to clean and cook...

I work from home a lot and the house is a mess and DH does the cooking and baby goes to daycare so I have no reason to not do a little cleaning now and then!

you sound like me! We are great stay at home moms but lousy housekeepers. I miss cooking elaborate dinners but not so much that I want to play less! Dinner last night was a cheese plate, baguette, and chicken roasted by the market

This has happened to me too. I ran to the store with both kids and we were all in sweats. I needed a lot of stuff and ended up having a huge cart full. When I went to check out, the guy told me I needed to separate the dog food and personal items. I asked why and he said bc food stamps won't cover those. I was livid! Just bc I hadn't been to the store in a while and have two children and happened to dress comfortably, I get automatically placed in that division? Um so sorry, but we have money that we made by ourselves. Ugh, it makes me mad!

Exactly this, I used to try to attempt to cook pre baby, now I don't want to spend the time. I can use a crockpot though...that I am good at!

One more: when my friend arrived at the coffee shop she said "oh you brought her" ...um, I'm a SAHM, what was my other option? Leave her in the car. The confession here is that I brought a baby to a coffee date! Or maybe this is a vent. So then my FFFC is that I have a vent

I have not read 50 shades of grey and have no desire to do it. I will also not watch the movie.

They're absolute garbage in terms of literature. Absolutely no character depth, terrible grammar, and limited vocabulary. But it's smutty and I couldn't resist. Embarrassed You're really not missing anything though. There are much better erotic novels out there.

I want to punch DH every time he sleeps. Especially when we get home from work and he takes a nap. Like he doesn't get a full nights sleep every night......

I'll admit - I dealt with two saleswomen last night that were so awesome, I chose to make sure they won't get commission on the sale and wiggled my way out of having the final purchase be done under their work time (minimal) and instead will opt for a different salesperson (owner's son) there who can claim the sale as being his who has never looked down on us during a sale because he knows we're loyal and most of the time aren't window shopping when we show up and have never "cheaped out" on him.

I now understand why my late FIL would go twice to a dealership and once in thread-bare shirts and do his negotiations then when it was time to sign the paperwork, he'd pull out his checkbook and pay cash when they asked how he'd like to finance the purchase. He never bought from someone who treated him differently because of how he looked or because he had made smart financial choices.
