FFFC!
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC!
Totally understandable. There are creeps all over.
I don't think I am the picture person though!
I don't remember who, but next time I see it I will call them out properly.
I thought ADub was talking about somebody posting excessive pictures of their LO, but maybe I'm wrong?
I do think the posts were people comment "they are so advanced" are funny. I don't know if LO's sitting on dads shoulders is advanced though, my DH does that with LO becuase he likes to do it but it doesn't take much talent, she just sits there while he holds her haha
I have photos where it looks like my LO is sitting, but guess what, a second later she fell over, I just had good timing taking the photo before she crashed. Doesn't mean she is advanced haha so I don't post them saying how awesome she is.
I agree. I look at the pictures and vote in the clicky polls, but I am no longer interested enough to go through the threads and pick my top 3 boys and top 3 girls, so I skip that part.
Congrats on the weight loss! It should happen gradually, so it's not like you'll be heavy one day and thin the next and have a total identity crisis. Right? Know what I'm saying? When something happens gradually, you get used to it as you go along.
Your sister is nuts! : I would've done the same thing.
You deserve to be healthy. I was thinking of creating a weight loss partner thingy. Kind of like away to support each other one on one. I'm not sure anyone would be interested though.
I realize Madison's hip dysplasia and harness are not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things and she is healthy otherwise but I'm so upset about the situation for many reasons.
Number 1 - it should have been taken care of earlier but her pedi is douche
Number 2 - she was already not really hitting milestones and now that she will be harnessed for 8 weeks I think she will be even more behind. She was trying to roll onto her tummy and one time almost got over but got her arm stuck. With the harness on, it's really hard to have her sitting up so I worry she'll be behind on that, too. She hates tummytime so I doubt she'll start armycrawling with the harness on.
I know she doesn't even need to be at these milestones yet but she isn't going to have the harness off until 7 months old and by then she should be rolling and sitting up and I'm not sure if she will be.
I've been feeling really sad all week about this.
ETA - I guess my confession is that I'm sad but probably shouldn't be.
I don't really think its me...
I just thought it would be dramatic if I was the subject of a UO/FFFC.
I dont think anyone would do that. I actually like reading other peoples views. Just because someone might not agree with me does not mean i dont "like" them. And that is awesome you are losing weight. Lose it to be healthy, because weight does not define us!!
Pilar is starting to out grow some of her clothes and I thought that I didn't have a lot of a lot that would work for her. I decided to go through one of her buckets of clothes and hit the mother load! Most of them are stuff my sister gave me, but some are gifts almost all are really cute. The bummer is that now I can't go splurge on buying her clothes. We just don't have the money. To top it off I could put her in a different outfit everyday for a month and not repeat the same outfit once.
At least DH's sister give up money for all the girls to spend on. I get to take them to buy clothes!
Also, I buy clothes for me behind my husbands back.
She's probably too nice to do that ;-)
My FFFC: I've started to buy Christmas gifts for DD already. And I know I'll never be able to make it to Christmas to give them to her. I also know that she'll be too young really to "get" Christmas this year. I'm totally doing it for me. Ha.
I've already bought ALL of DS's Christmas gifts. We found a tricycle on a super sale and bought that for him, along with some little odd and end gifts. We got the tricycle mainly b/c we wanted to be able to get it for him BEFORE anyone else. DS is the first grandchild on both sides and his grandmothers are spoiling him like crazy!!
I am too, but my other ones don't fit.
Same
#1 - I love my new body since I started running. I feel my butt/leg muscles (under my chub) all the time and wish it was appropriate for me to ask other people to feel them. I also think most normal people have always had those muscles.
#2 - I always wanted a boob job. Having kids made me realize I'm fine the way I am. I do still want my 3rd boob removed for medical reasons. How do you get a mamogram in your armpit!?
No! The same thing happened with me when I was running! I would sit there and feel myself up. lol
I do the same thing with my new leg muscles
and my new arm muscles that I got from carrying DS around. I like to tell myself that now I have Michelle Obama arms (maybe under the extra padding I've got)
Yep she did look awesome, but not as good as now. It is hard to remember everyone gains weight during pregnancy, even the pretty girls
My real FFFC. Right now, my body is hurting me so bad, I'd pay a pretty penny for some real painkillers. WAHHHH!
It's hell getting old.
What Tamb said. Really??
Ya know, I just realized this is actually an option, isn't it. LOL! But, I'm not an illegal drug-buyer, so it's not actually an option!
This is more like a "what would you do for a klondike bar" kind of statement.
D'oh!
That is so sad! I don't really participate because I don't feel like I know anyone well enough to comment on a personal level. I can tell people are pretty or have good looking kids though.
Congrats on your weight loss. That requires hard work and I hope you become more comfortable as you continue to work towards your goal weight.
I like you and consider you a "popular" poster. This attitude though that you are a wise independent thinker amongst sheep is obnoxious. There are LOTS of opinions and intelligent women on this board. I think your little digs, like the one above, are a slight to the board. Please just say what you want to say. I'd rather hear your opinion, even if I don't agree with them, than continue to read the little backhanded comments.
I have to post and run. You said you don't like puppies and rainbows so hopefully you are not offended.
don't act like y'all have never been jealous of someone who looked better than you and then secretly smiled when they had an off day. i never wished anything bad on her, she is freaking gorgeous and there is nothing wrong with that.
My FFFC is that I wasn't a good enough friend to someone. I didn't try hard enough when someone was in pain and hurting.
Right after I graduated college, I met this amazing, beautiful person and we became close friends very quickly. I adored her. My husband ( then boyfriend at the time) adored her. We lived two streets away from each other so we were always together. We had a falling out that was a bit complicated. She said some mean things and I said some things that she probably didn't want to hear. We didn't talk for awhile. After Hurricane Katrina, she left me a message on my answering machine asking about my family. I called her back but she never returned my call. I was upset and my husband even went to try to find her where she worked but they told him she had moved.
Through all of these years, I have thought about her and worried about her. I've tried to find her- through MySpace then Facebook..through phone number look ups.
DH and I went to Ft. Lauderdale in April of 2011. I thought I saw her one night sitting with a guy outside of a hotel. DH wanted to go see if it was her but I said no. She looked so happy. I hope it was her.....and that she was that happy girl having drinks with someone on that beautiful beach night.
I fell asleep on the couch Wednesday night with the TV on TLC. DH came home at about 2:30 am and I was getting everything sorted out to bring L upstairs. I hear two voices that I recognize on the TV and turn to look. It's the Mother and sister of my friend. They are in tears. Then her picture flashes on the screen. The show was "Long Island Medium". My friend passed away 21 days before Luke was born. It's all very surreal and I am heartbroken.
Sorry my FFFC is so long.
As long as I can remember, I've always hated my boobs. I was always so self conscious about them. They are small. Before getting pregnant I wore an A cup. I was teased in high school for having small boobs, and a high school boyfriend always said he wanted to date a blond girl with DD boobs. Being a brunette with A boobs and low self esteem, this did not help. I've pined for implants since I was 16. I always compared myself to other women and the size of their boobs.
Fast forward to the day after I delivered DS and was having problems latching. Not one, not two, but three different nurses AND the LC said I had perfect boobs for BFing.
Before DS, I never thought of boobs as anything other than an accessory, or a sexualized part of a woman's body. Having DS, hearing that my boobs, the same boobs that I thought were shiity, we're perfect for BFing, and EBF for 5 months now makes me feel a million times better about my boobs.
I planned on getting augmentation after kids, but now I don't think I need to anymore. But then again, asks me how I feel after 2-3 kids.
This. You never know how a woman feels about her body. I'm not saying anything about Amanda....is she even here to defend herself.... But sometimes women can seem confident when they really are not. It is a defense mechanism.
So no matter how pretty we think someone might be. Or no matter how much confidence and self esteem we think a person might have, we really do not know.
I think your preggo weight comment went a tad bit too far.
