Hey, I can hold this place up on my own. Where did everyone go recently?
Let it all hang out, guise.

Re: FFFC
I have no desire to watch it, but I'm totally looking forward to your synopsis.
Yeah! I saw the link on the parenting board. It just piqued my curiousity!
I think any big gender reveal is weird. Like, thats nice but I don't care that much about your kid and their genitals.
Ha! Ok, MH wants to see it too now that he knows it's a "backdoor" scenario.
Omg, she just thanked the gender reveal cake baker for their enjoyment. It doesn't stop. She's having a girl after having 4 boys, just in case you desired to know the baby's bits.
I noticed you've been gone. I hope you enjoyed the short lived nice weather like we did.
That is so annoying and I would be doing the same thing (not paying attention.) We have some outspoken teachers here who probably would have called her out on it.
We seriously lived outside. N keeps begging to go "uh-sih-ede." My backyard is likely a mudpit but I may cave and let her play outside for awhile today.
Oh I also confess that my car died yesterday. It's likely just a dead battery but since it was raining I told DH not to worry about jumping it. N had a doc apt today , first thing this morning and I REALLY didn't want to go and the dead car just gave me a reason to cancel.
The mood I am in today, I nearly said where the h do you think my child is right now?
My boss asked me to do a double on Saturday and I said ok, even though I felt like I had something to do during the day. I remember what it was late last night while I was trying to fall asleep and I was PISSED. American Idol (which I have watched every episode of,dork) is going to be 5 miles from my house!! One of the contestants is in the Top 3 so they do a parade and concert for her which will be on the show. Yes, I'm 37 and I probably would have even made an obnoxious sign!
omfg, I'm 36. I don't even know how old I am. Off to go knit a shawl now.
Christine, I totally thought about taking a drive up there to see the American Idol craziness... so don't worry, you're not alone in the dorkiness haha
Morsey, that sucks, I think you should say something to her after her presentation!
My confession is a bit ridiculous, and probably related to pp hormones, but I can't stop comparing L (DD1 ) to H (DD2). For example, L had a lot more hair.. and H's looks like an old man's receding hairline. H's belly button sticks out and I assume it will be an outie. She has a mark over on of her eyelids that I'm not sure is permanent or not.
I love them both so much and each one has her own look, but honestly... I don't think DD2 is a cute baby.
Ok, she is cute.. but I think she looks more like a boy baby than a girl baby... maybe it's the hairline I don't know... I just know that I suckk for even thinking about all of this and I'm praying that it's just the hormones... Please tell me it's the hormones
After reading my post, I realize how absolutely absurd this all sounds... and that I probably deserve a flaming for it. Oh well.. I'm glad I was able to get it off my chest.
I feel the same way about some kids! When I had my former nanny kids, the neighbors would send their 4 and 2 year old out to play with my nanny kids and I would end up watching them. And my SO's cousin has a 10 year old and when age comes into town, I feel like she is stalking us to play with Gator. She will text me and if I don't get back right away, she will text me from her grandma's phone. If Gator is sleeping, she wants to hang out with me....but I use that time to get stuff done. I have started pretending Greta is always asleep or run errands when she is in town so I don't have to spend all of my time with her.
Edited for wording
Ugh that sucks! And you have to have your Mom watch her while you watch someone elses kid, annoying. I'm sure they're having fun together though! Will your employers let you bring her once they kids get a little older?
It makes me feel a little guilty, but last night she wasn't even playing with Cora, just talking to me while I was grilling. She was saying "I like Cora, but I don't really like that she doesn't do things right" (this was while my child was licking the bubbles off the wand instead of blowing them), and "Cora doesn't really understand how to play" ...no kidding she is 1.5, you are 10. We always take her on our bike rides, but she gets off and walks at every little incline. If I can haul my big butt and the trailer up the hill, you can pump your little kid legs and make it up the hill. At least Cora likes her.
I almost clicked that link at work...that is all I need to be fired about...looking at teen mom porno pics.
That being said, because I don't like it and find it boring, I am doing only what I need to do, which probably feeds the issue.
I sometimes hide in the bathroom for 10 minutes at a time.
I confess that I have had some emotional issues lately that I really should talk to someone about, but I've been avoiding getting any help. I have had what I think is anxiety and depression for quite some time now and it is getting continually worse to the point that its really affecting my daily life. At least I think it's anxiety/drpression, but I'm not even sure because I've never had these types of issues before, and I have avoided talking to anyone about it. In fact this is the first time I'm admitting this to anyone at all.
I've always been what I considered to be "strong" emotionally. I'm also very stubborn and have a hard time admitting that I need help with anything. It's really hard for me to deal with the fact that I need to speak to someone and possibly look into medication of some kind. I used to think needing that sort of thing was a weakness ( I see now how rediculous that is) and I could just deal with any emotional issues on my own. I obviously can't anymore though. These issues I'm having are affecting my health, happiness, marriage, friendships, and I feel like I'm not even as good of a mom as I have the potential to be.
I know I really need to make an appt to speak to a professional, but I don't even know where to start. I know that if I get help it will make for a happier life for not only me, but DH and DS too. I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it. Both out of fear, and because I want to avoid anything that will be difficult for me. I'm taking the lazy way out and that's very selfish of me. I just hate that I've gotten to this point, and that I'm twiddling my thumbs and allowing this to continue for so long.
I am sorry. Have you talked to your dr at all? Or seen a therapist? They might be able to help you find some good coping skills. ::hugs::
I agree with Crystal! My BFF had delayed issues with ppd/ppa and she started with her ob/gyn. I dealt with it for the first 9 months of P's life and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Please, take that first step you do not need to suffer! Hugs to u!
My mom will only be watching her one of my working days, so she can take Gator to swimming lessons. She just had her a few extra days this week because she is getting over a slight cold.
We take a trip to a lake by us every year. It's like Shasta, but closer. We love it. Our families on both sides have been asking us for years to be invited when we go. This year we invited everyone. My parents, siblings, SO's cousin's fam, and SO's parents all booked right away. They were all informed that it fills up quickly and it was also a weekend so they needed to book ASAP.
Well SIL and her fam didn't book. She informed me that they are all going. She said they are staying in IL's RV. My IL's told her no, there wasn't enough room. I looked up spots for her and told her there was an ADA camping spot left, everything else was booked solid. I told her five times to book it, and she didnt. Now there are no spots. SO thinks she is stalling in hopes that she can stay in the RV, and pawn her kids off, into a tent, onto my camping spot....since we can have two tents on our spot. But our tent takes up the whole tent spot.
My IL's asked me to book a spot for her, since the app on my phone alerts me when a spot opens, and THEY would pay me back.
Everyone caters to SIL and I am tired of it. I don't know how many times I reminded her and she didnt get shiit done on her end. I am not a babysitter for a 43 year old. I am not going to book a spot for her, nor am I going to bring it up again. There is no reason my IL's should be paying for a camping spot for her, she never pays them back, and it's not like she doesn't have the money. She just wants everything done for her.
So if a spot opens up, I am going to book it for different family members that want to go....or not say anything at all. If she has time to "like" or comment on every post known to man on everyone's FB account....then she has the time to get online and book her own damn spot.
Just because people go through worse doesn't mean your feelings aren't valid. I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Maybe you can plan something to look forward to both for the new baby and for yourself? And do consider talking to someone about your depression. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
