You know what today is.
Here's mine: Sergio is a really gassy baby. I mean, the kid could blow the front door down some days. I have never, ever passed gas in front of SO. I'm always clenching my poor butt cheeks together to silence it. Well, since S has been born, I no longer care because SO always think it's was Sergio. HAHAHA. It's so freeing.


Re: FFFC
DH and I sometimes laugh and joke about DS's looks. We get laughing about his crooked face, bald head, how funny adding a tooth to the mix would be. His ear use to be deformed but it looks normal now, we use to add that to the list, his multiple chins.
We think he is adorable but we have fun joking this way sometimes. The joking will stop when he is older and starts to understand things.
i think this is all funny because we joke about koa's jacked up hair all the time. she's got bald patches, really long patches of baby hair, really short patches of new hair. it's a hot mess.
seriously, though, that kiddo of yours is as cute as they come.
I hate my SD mother. She is so much more than the normal stereotype. She would do anything and everything to ruin my relationship and my family. I went on an old email address that SO doesn't even use for something else [and I had to change the password to, he doesn't even have it] and did something flameful and messaged her as him. She asked me some questions to confirm. And I guess what little bit I know was enough cuz she started sending naked pictures. I came clean to her [and my SO] but I'm holding the time stamped pictures incase I need some blackmail. I think her husband might like to know what his wife is up to... Oh. This is after Xmas eve saying how jealous she is that he 'ruined their family and her Christmas for the second year and is spending it with his replacement family'
This same woman is the one my SO walked in in with another guy on his birthday... Ugh. That's just today's rant. I'll spare you the normal details.
[yes. I know I was in the wrong though. But the 'normal' thing would of been to just ignore the email. If my ex would email me, I wouldn't even respond! Or tell him where to go! I wouldn't go sending him naked photos! ]
Aww, thanks. Koa is a georgous little girl, so cute even with her patchy hair! You have a beauty there!
I...I just...can't.
I know this is ridiculous, but I am irritated and mad at my H for being sick. Lol. I have run myself ragged this week taking my kid to the doctor twice, making trips to the pharmacy, taking care of her by myself, waking up every hour at night with her for 3 days in a row, and working as much as I can because I hardly have any PTO left. I'm exhausted and irritable. I know he is sick, but omg. I had a sinus infection for almost 2 weeks, then was hit with a flu-like virus for two days after that, and I didn't get a break. When I was sick, he slept in the guest room and left the baby with me so I still had to get up at night with her instead of getting the rest I needed to get better. He has slept more in the last week than he probably has in 6 months, lol.
IT'S NOT FAIR, OK?! ::stomps feet::
::screeching halt::
Also my ex bf's wife had a baby two days ago and it really bothers me for some reason. She is a horrible person and the last time him and I hung out he told me she was just an eff buddy. His family hates her and none of our friends went to his wedding because of her. The part that bothers me is that it bothers me. I'm beyond happy with my life and never even thought of him until I saw this.
DH and I married 8 years. Mom of three, stepmom of one.
Right?? Trust me, it normally doesn't in mine either. I have very high expectations of my H and make them very clear, lol. The ONLY reason I'm not slapping him every 5 seconds is because he is contagious and even his doctor told him he can't be around the baby much. Her immune system is already down so I don't want him around her. He puts a mask on and will change her diaper or hold her while I eat or shower, but other than that, he is out of commission.
I can't wait until he's better because I'm going to have 3 nights in a row of going to sleep at 8pm with no baby duty. Ahhhhhhhhhh.
And, he is grateful that I'm doing all of this. He just sent me a text thanking me and telling me I'm amazing. So, I can't be too mad. I'm just in the trenches right now and it sucks.
I just can't get over this post. You're the one doing the sabotaging here, amirite?? Your H cheated on you not long ago, right? You guys have a toxic relationship and need counseling, or just need to move on. You have a child - time to grow up and, you know, NOT hack an e-mail account that isn't yours to start drama. Jesus.
Yep, I'm heartless and selfish.
Haha, this sounds like MAMA loves blankets! Miss Chloe would probably be happy with one or two
Proud Mama to cleft cutie
Aw! This makes me sad!
I had a similar situation recently... We had a sugar glider that was almost 10 years old. We never expected him to make it this long as he had a bad infection when he was a baby and it caused some pretty significant long term nerve damage. I finally found him on his way out one night and held him until he passed. It was really sad but I think most of what I felt was guilt for not being a very good mom to him for a while now, and guilt that I was kinda relieved we wouldn't have to worry about him anymore. In my defense (re: the relief part), it was pretty stressful to walk in every day and wonder if that was going to be the day I found him dead on the floor of his cage.
Also, in college I was a moderator on a sugar glider forum and was all like: "It's totally horrible to get rid of your sugar glider or not make time for them after you have a baby!!!!11!!" And while I still think its awful, it's totally what I did.
A little bit of both! Haha she spits up a lot and mama gets behind on non essential laundry!
GTFO!
Again, public forum. No one has to leave just because you tell them to. And you are one of the people who post too much that I am referring to.
I get depressed when I look over the handouts we get at his checkups. It lists milestones and what to expect at the next visit plus how much Tylenol he can have. Then it says things like,
Talk to your baby.
Read to your baby.
Respond to your baby's cries.
Hold and cuddle your baby.
This all seems so obvious to me and I wonder about caregivers who need to be told this.
Ooooffff course I am. Well, I'm one of those crappy moms who puts their kid in daycare! OMG!
You seem fun.
You better stop posting and go take care of your baby!!!
I will, once she wakes up.
Kiki, stop posting or she'll call CPS on you for neglecting your preshus!!
You don't like how things are around here? GTFO and start your own forum, or join another one that isn't so "high school". Oh, and worry about your own baby before you judge or question what other people on this board do and how they spend their time.
Howell is great at entertaining himself.
I just put him on the floor next to the litter box with some matches, pieces of broken glass and old batteries. You'd be shocked at how creative he gets with a few toys. I could bump all day and he wouldn't care.
These are good ideas. I just give Madison razor blades and let her go to town.
Hey, can we add Bec77 to my dislike list? Thanks!
I don't know and I don't want to even think about it. Plus, you're really supposed to wait if you had a c section!
I'm with everyone else on this one. If you don't want the "high school" antics, go to the 3-6 month board. They have resources for you. Babies sleep a lot. And I don't feel like doing chores. Plus I probably have an addiction to internet shopping... FOR MY BABY. Don't tell us how to raise our children.
This. Thank you BPaws.
I cannot stomach my son's grandparents. My ex MIL and FIL. They drive me insane. They live about 4 hours away and since we moved here almost two years ago, they have driven out ONCE to see him. Because it's "too far". Four hours is too far. They hardly ever call him. They think he should call. I don't think it's fair for an 8 year old to be responsible for keeping in touch all the time. They claim they always call and never get through. It's because they call my cell # and I have told his grandfather only 20 times or so that I don't have cell reception at home, so call the house phone.
They always find some way to insult me or my husband as parents. People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. They have a daughter who wants nothing to do with them, a son in jail and a son who is dead. I have no problem with suggestions, but I don't like being insulted.
They pride themselves on how they don't spoil my son. Meaning they never buy him toys or games for birthdays or Christmas because they want to give him "useful" gifts. I buy him all of the "useful" stuff I need. Kids like toys and fun stuff for special occasions. Any rare gift they ever buy him is usually a disappointment.
Two years in a row now his grandmother has told me "Oh, I am going to buy him some school clothes." And she never has. I don't ask them for anything, ever. It annoys me that she says she will do something and then doesn't do it. Last year she asked if he had a new backpack for school. I told her not yet. She said she would buy him one. I'm glad I went out and bought him one myself or else he would still be waiting for a backpack.
They just irk the shiit out of me. I don't want or need a damn thing from them. But don't tell me you're going to do something for my kid and not follow through. I don't ever tell him anything they say they will do for him because it never happens. I know they have a problem with my husband and I. That's fine, because I don't like them either. But I want to know, what kind of person takes it out on a little kid? I can't stand them.
I guess that's my confession. Not a really juicy one either. But it felt good to put it down on "paper" so to speak. They are the most selfish ass_holes I have ever met.
They have a lot of money. Every time my son talks to them his grandfather brags about this or that. Brags about the new car they got. Brags about how they just got back from Europe, etc. They go to all of these amazing places and love to brag about it to a freaking 8 year old. No, your grandchild does not give a shiiiit about your $40,000 Toyota Avalon, thanks. Oh, is that the only reason you called? Idiots.
I can't wait to pick up my son this weekend and I pray I don't get stuck listening to them talk about themselves for an hour.
This made me LOL for real!
This exactly.
Being that my ex has a crazy wife, I find you are much like her in ways of sh!t starting. Or could it actually be you? Or could those be my pictures? If they are sexy, they are my pictures. 100 sure.
How's that for high school Becc? Oops, gotta go grab the babies out of the dishwasher. They are clean now. Baths are sooooo time consuming!
