It's Friday over here!

Go!

NatnDyl · January 2013

The fb group bums me out. Fb is blocked at work so I can't contribute until I get home and get Connor to bed and I'm on the west coast so by then everyone else is in bed. It looks like you guys are all having fun and I feel left out, but it's my own fault. Stupid work.

MollySm · January 2013

I'm still here! But it's true, it's pretty dead by the evenings.

NatnDyl · January 2013

Good, let's make a super secret west coast club! Shmogs- you're west coast too, get in on this! Who else is on the best coast? Stick out tongue

pinkshades05 · January 2013

I'm west coast, too! Don't feel left out!

MollySm · January 2013

I like the super secret part!!

I'm in! Although I am still sick so tonight I am going to bed early... next week I'm in Wink

pinkshades05 · January 2013

I'm all for it! Do we all live in Cali?

MollySm · January 2013

I do! We need a GTG for the close people.

Amberrrr · January 2013

When I was in labor, I screamed and cursed at everyone multiple times.
And told the people giving me my epidural to shut up, because their talking about whatever they were talking about was pissing me off.
I've never been so bossy to strangers.
And then I cried! Lol! I was such a loon...
Now I'm off to finish reading the UO.

When DD wakes up in the middle of the night, I bring her back to our bed. I can't handle the CIO. I realize she's probably never going to STTN, but I'm too tired to listen to her cry. Plus, I like to cuddle with her.

Ooh, me too, me too!

Yeah I do this often. My H gets so upset because then we can't sleep well, but I love the cuddles so much and I feel like I should take advantage while I can.

last night when L woke up, I went into her room and picked her up, and she gave me a huge hug and layed her head on my shoulder and went back to sleep. I rocked her for twenty minutes like that. I told DH I wish I could hold her all night long, it was just so sweet.

I got Asher to say momma for the first time this morning...by bribing him with a piece of sugar cookie.

The girls won't sleep in bed with us or even sleep on us on the couch or anything. Until we did CIO they fell asleep on us every night and slept in bed with us on occasion. Since CIO they want to sleep alone. I appreciate that they're good, independent sleepers but I'm really bummed that they won't even really take a nap with us anymore. I miss that so much.

I sometimes wish daycare was open on weekends or overnight.

I am skipping an assembly at school right now, just because I want some peace and quiet.

jmccall79 · January 2013

This is lame, but here ya go! The sensitive side of me "feels bad" for making the ex pay me child support (I guess I'm not 'making' him, he agreed to it and he's the one who suggested the amount). Especially on weeks where I know he probably didn't get in a lot of hours so his check will be short. But then the "mama bear, I have to take care of my son" side comes out at times and I think it's not my problem that he can't budget better for times like this. Then the sensitive side comes out again and I think, well if I budgeted better then I would be fine too. Then mama bear comes out again... This back and forth, never ending vicious battle, that goes on in my head is very draining at times! Then the lonely, missing companionship side, really misses him and just wants one more time with him...one more cuddle...one more kiss...one more night just sleeping in the same bed as him. Feeling a little 'lonely' this morning, can you tell?! I'm lame, I know!

Then he sits down and starts chewing on it! I didn't take it away from him, which I now realize is really gross. I was too shocked to think straight.

Ian is really intrigued by my dog's toys these days. I try telling him that those are Ally's toys and give it to Ally. He looks at me like no way mama, these are mine. Sticks them in his mouth, and crawls away as fast as he can. It's disgusting, I know. But my theory is, if this is the worst thing that my son ever puts in his mouth, then ok. Do I just want him chewing on the dog's toys? NO! Do I try to take them away, and keep them away as much as possible? Yes. Do I just give up sometimes and think, ok fine, if you want to chew on that disgusting thing, have at it? Yes.

Aria's the same way, Jen. She wants her bottle, blankey, and crib. That's it. I love that she's such a good sleeper, and that anyone can put her down to bed now... but I really, really miss the cuddles and naps we used to have together. On the rare occasion that she does wake in the MOTN, she doesn't want held anymore. She just wants a kiss and a new bottle. It does make me appreciate the clingy phase a little bit, at least I get to hold her during the day!

I sometimes feel guilty for the childsupport because I am not sure I spend it all on Emma. Then I buy a bottle of wine and think thanks for the wine sucker.....

I'm not really liking this place lately. The vibe is different. It makes me sad, and it's why I don't post as much. I'm hoping it turns back around soon, but I really don't think it will.

Lena122 · January 2013

Munchkin contstantly throws his food on the floor and I don't always clean all of it up after his meal. The other day he was crawling around the kitchen and found something on the floor and popped it in his mouth. I have no idea if it was even food, although I assume it was, but I didn't even try to stop him.

poobear2015 · January 2013

Last night was the last night on the couch for Hayley and I - we are doing CIO starting tonight (it's REALLY starting to affect DH). But last night on the couch was horrendous! She woke and cried and kicked and screamed like I dropped her on her head! She has NEVER done that. So I got mad at her for ruining my "final night" with her. I'm so selfish.

Hayley hasn't been eating much lately (other than cheerios and pasta). So when she ate all her broccoli/cauliflower/and hamburger helper last night - I rewarded her with a chunk of double fudge brownie.

Bella61811 · January 2013

MrMrsandBaby:
Allison is still super clingy to me, she will not go to DH if I'm in the room.nbsp; I actually hate it now.nbsp; I know if I leave she will be fine but if she can see me or knows where I am she cries until I pick her up.nbsp; If I don't pick her up she literally falls to the ground and hits her head on the floor making her scream on top of crying.
So my FFFC is that I don't really like my daughter lately.nbsp; Of course I love her, I just don't like her right now.

You just described Audra perfectly!

Sad I know. It makes me really sad, because this board has been such a huge part of my life since June of 2011. I still lurk, but just don't really feel like chiming in much. We used to be able to have constructive debates and conversations and be able to agree to disagree like adults without someone getting butthurt... it doesn't feel that way anymore. Maybe it's all in my head, I don't know.

This is my single most favorite thing in the entire world!! It doesn't happen often with us anymore, but on the rare occassion my DD will let me rock her while she has her head on my sholder, I just want to sit like that forever!!! There is nothing sweeter!!!

I think we're still able to have debates in an adult manner. Yesterday we talked about paying for college and everyone had different opinions but I don't think anyone got butthurt. I think every once in awhile, an immature comment throws everyone into a fit. For the most part, I think we are still able to have constructive debates. I would assume (though I don't know for sure) that not all boards are like ours where everyone gets along for the most part.

jja0812 · January 2013

Julian got into so many predicaments this week that I could have easily prevented, but I wanted a photo for the contest so I let him do it. Then, I was super busy all day yesterday and didn't even get one posted. Not that any of mine would have compared to some of the awesome ones y'all posted!

I really want to comment on the M/C, things stupid people (ahem, SILs) say to people who have miscarried and other similar threads, but I feel like I can't because of my ticker. I don't want anyone to think I'm rubbing it in their face or being insensitive so I just don't post on those threads.
I'm really sorry that you ladies are going through this. I've been there and I know how empty you can feel afterwards.

I guess I can only speak for myself, but when I see pregnancy tickers, I don't get upset. Please don't feel like you can't contribute! My FFFC is going to make you think I am mad at all pregnant women, but I promise it's just my SIL that I am mad at.

My FFFC is that I have an irrational anger towards my pregnant SIL. She has always been super braggy about her pregnancy, it doesn't matter what you're talking about...she some how finds a way to bring up her uterus, cervix, or placenta...I am not kidding. The day we told DH siblings about our miscarriage she went on facebook and talked about how excited she is to see her "healthy and GROWING baby boy in an ultra sound in a few days" Of all days, and of all things to say...Seriously...Anytime someone brings her up I get mad and I make it known that I don't want to talk about her. OH, she asked ME to throw her a shower. It was before I miscarried, so she wasn't being insensitive then, but now I have the honor of telling her HELLLL NOOO. I am actually pretty pumped about telling her that I will not be throwing her a shower. DH thinks he should be the one to tell her...nope.

OMG she's pregnant, too?! I have no words. I am so angry for you that I have no words. That NEVER happens.

SORRY! Should have clarified, this is a different SIL. I have FOUR. I can only stand one of them.

nattyk · January 2013

I have a friend who has 2 kids that I really dislike. They are wild, undisciplined, and I seriously side-eye most of the parenting decisions that they make. I would LOVE to be able to bring this to their attention, but I cant, because I dont want to harm the friendship. I try not to judge other parents because I'm not in their shoes, but for these people, I just cant help it. We dont hang out with this couple as much as we'd like to because we dont like their kids, especially if they are at our house. DH and I have already pretty much decided that DS wont be hanging out with their kids, which is a shame for all involved.

I know that's not really a FFFC, but WOW - that felt so good to get out!

I'm with you. I think it started with Sooner leaving, but there's definitely less back and forth in the past month or so. Not that there isn't any, but when there is it seems like people get up in arms easier. I was really surprised yesterday when in the UO it was basically said that moms who have at-home births put their wants over the safety of their babies and that didn't get touched for quite some time.

Lucia started to refuse to sleep with or on us super early on. Way before we ever did CIO. I hope our next baby is a little more cuddly.
