Would anyone care to confess?

Unem · September 2012

My fellow TTGPers will appreciate this.

I officially have 'line eyes' from staring at my toilet paper every time I pee. I keep trying to see any little hint of red or brown to indicate that I'm losing my mp. I even stare at my pee in the toilet and look for foreign objects. I know it means nothing, but doing this is what keeps me going all day.

I am so sick of my mil. She comes over all the time and bitches that she feels like she isn't helping. Well... Then HELP. See that basket of laundryfold it. See the dishes in the sink? Wash them. Otherwise, shut it.

After reading all y'alls birth stories.... I still don't know what the hell these contractions are suppose to feel like. I feel let down by the lack of details!

Also, I am secretly hoping I wait this out the longest so I can get some sort of medal/award when we give those out again. Like, maybe i'll just wait till Halloween to have the baby just to secure it!

I hats that everyone thinks they get to have a say in my decision to stop breastfeeding. I did it for 2 weeks and from day one had to supplement with formula. I was pumping every 2 hrs 15 min on each side and then repeating for a total of 30 min on each side and still on getting maybe 3 ozs a day. Then when I got my uterine staph infection, I was told to stop giving her breastmilk until it was clear. This was not an easy decision to quit. I wish people would let up. I know the benefits. Sorry rant over.

I wish that J would take a bottle so I could drop him off at my parents and have a day to myself. I love this kid and I love breastfeeding, but I'm tired and I miss my husband.
::feels like a bad mom::

This sounds like a completely reasonable desire--not bad mom material at all!

I've come to the conclusion that there are some d-bag Hs around here (not the ones who are struggling with the transition to fatherhood, either. More like the ones who aren't even trying...).

And I have an ass cramp. Not at all a confession, but it's really annoying.

smiley289 · September 2012

I want to shoot my IL's dogs. They bark constantly, waking up DD in the morning right after I get her to sleep. The best part is that FIL encourages the behavior instead of correcting it.

I also want to give FIL a piece of my mind. Yes, I know it's very generous of him to allow us to stay with him until we close on a house, but the basement was set up as our space with the baby. Please ask before you come down to walk in on me pumping, breast feeding, or in some other awkward position. And no, 10:30 at night is never a good time to assume it is ok to barge in and do some 'work', organizing, or filing in the basement. We have a TWO WEEK OLD INFANT!

I call DS2 James about 75% of the time. DH calls him James 100% of the time.

I guess my confession is that I honestly can't tell if DH is trying or is this is an unformentioned level if douchebaggery. I used to tell DH about those posts that were MUDlike where the DH does nothing and we agreed that it was ridiculous. I'm not sure in his depressed haze if he sees how close to that he gets sometimes.

My in laws are in town so I'm hoping that DH will feel better... Or that he will at least fake feeling better so I can get a bit of a break. The first is preferable, but I'll settle for the second. :]

Don't you dare beat yourself up. I did that for two weeks. I cried and felt like a failure. I did everything I could, but I was not producing and also had to supplement. LO was crying and wouldn't latch because she was literally so hungry she couldn't concentrate. I was crying because I was frustrated and tired. I tried pumping which was even more exhausting because I'd be up to feed her in the middle of the night and then pump for 30 minutes or more just to try and get an ounce out of each breast. My baby is happy and healthy on formula and I am SO much happier. I'm sleeping at night, my husband is able to help me and we're all better off. Breastfeeding is amazing for some women and for others it just doesn't work. No woman should be made to feel like she isn't a good enough mother because she couldn't breast feed. Just enjoy your baby and don't worry about other people.

Well I've caught myself almost calling him by our male cat's name...I have no clue why.

TaylorP5 · September 2012

It drives me nuts when I ask people that are sick to stay away from the house and the baby until they are better and they get offended. I don't want my newborn getting the cold and flu that's been going around in these parts. I don't care if you sanitized or not it doesn't stop that cough you just let out! Sorry I am a grouch today ladies. lol

dmfan897 · September 2012

I got my tubes tied when DS was 2 days old and regretted it the second I woke up from surgery. I was so sure it was the right choice going into it..even as they were putting me to sleep I was at peace with my decision. I did not expect to wake up and get hit with an intense feeling of loss. I am 99.9% sure that he was our last baby but I still hate that the choice is gone forever. Maybe part of it is hormones but I want to (and sometimes do) cry whenever I look at the bandage on my stomach. I have heard that this is normal and I am sure I will feel better as time goes on but I wish we would have waited to make this decision.

hmp1 · September 2012

DH changed a diaper on our bed in the middle of the night. DS peed on our blanket. DH kind of freaked and wanted to change the sheets and blanket. It was on my side, I told him to leave it and I'll wash them today. I doubt I will wash them today.

This exactly. I was beating myself up about stopping, but once the decision was made I had some peace of mind. Luckily DH and my family have been very supportive. They all told me that baby senses your stress, and it doesn't matter how I feed him, as long as I feed him. Give yourself a break and know that you are doing what is best for you and your family.

I'm having these right now. But I also had it in my head that Friday would be a "good day" for the baby to come, so I'm probably just psyching myself out here. But FX it's the real deal!

50--now that I'm technically "overdue," I feel totally clueless and jumpy about what to expect! I feel like a crazy person.

This. I feel disappointed every single time I go to the bathroom. Even though I know finding something doesn't mean he's coming, it'd be nice to find SOMETHING.

awe, crap. I have a surgery date of 10/15 for this. I know I don't want more kids, four is plenty, but I don't like the fact that its over and done now. I'm sorry you feel this way, and you also just confirmed that I am not sure I am ready for this. I guess maybe that's my FFFC. I don't know if I can go through with this.

My Confession...i am enjoying wearing my maternity jeans again and i am OK with it, plus i know my fat a$$ will not fit into my regular jeans yet. I enjoy the lack of restaint in the jeans...lol

MrsKipper · September 2012

Our dogs bark at EVERYTHING. Seriously if someone sneezes across the street they run to the windows like an army is coming in. It gets me so irritable and worked up trying to get them to calm down and stop barking. Lately I've been putting them in their crates for naps just so I can have some quiet time (only for about an hour or two). I love our dogs, I really do, but sometimes I just need a break from the noise. We tried a bark collar on our little one that barks the most, but I'm pretty sure it just felt like someone was tickling his neck and he just kept on barking. At least Nola is used to the noise and they don't wake her up with their barking!

My initial contractions felt like waves of period cramps. My intense contractions felt like my hips were dislocating in the most painful way possible.
