Time to confess!

Erinm278 · June 2013

I really don't want my baby to be born tomorrow. There are already 4 birthdays in DH's family on the 29th and I don't want my baby lumped in with everyone. Given my luck, labor will start tonight!

I want it to rain every day between now and Wednesday because I don't want to stand outside in this heat watering everything while DH is out of town. I'm also going to use this time to "catch up on sleep" without feeling guilty.

My exH who is now married to my best friend from high school, his a kid that turns a year tomorrow. I really don't want my kid born tomorrow either!! I like to tell myself I don't want my older kids to choose which brother they want to see but that isn't truth. I just don't want too!! I feel like toddler pouting.

This just really annoys the shot out of me. Not even really a confession. But I do hope they don't bring a child into that:

SIL refuses to work and her husband works full time making barely over minimum wage. She gets government assistance by saying she can't find a job, then when she has to go in and show proof of looking for a job, she goes off the assistance. A few months later, she will go back in and start getting assistance again. My MIL does the same. And SIL's reason for not working? She's a stay at home mom....ok wackadoodle. You're not even pregnant...."but I will be someday."

They also don't have any type of insurance. SIL went to 3 different Emergency Rooms in one day because she "knew" the other people were wrong. All to find out it was her allergies. Any time they have a slight stomache, headache, etc they go to the ER and then refuse to pay their bills.

Soo thankful we live 14 hours away from them. I can't handle those people.

I am seriously questioning why I am employed at this company. It seems they push out the smart folks and replace them with morons. The guy who is to be my back up (mentioned in another post) is a complete child and the boss, and others in upper management treat him like he's a child, and expect the rest of us to coddle him and "not hurt his feelings".

It is no wonder this country is going to hell in a hand basket. He's an adult male living in NYC, who came to ZANESVILLE OHIO for 1 week, to 'learn' my job, and they acted like he was going to a war zone. I got 4, yes FOUR calls from my boss, and 3 other sr. level managers telling me to "make sure Nadeem is shown around, make sure he eats, make sure he can find where he's going, take care of him." --- SERIOUSLY? I went to NYC (pregnant) alone, found my way to my hotel, alone, found my way to the office, ALONE, no one worried, or called, or stressed about what I would eat. No one even went to dinner with me.

Why are we treating him like a child? SERIOUSLY? He refuses to even sign off on his own work, because "he doesn't understand the auditor's questions". One person on our team won't sign them for him but another will... so what happens when they are wrong, and audit asks a question, and the person who signed says "dunno, we'll have to ask Nadeem?" -- He's not new, he's been here for over a year.

So, my FFFC ... people need to grow up and take responsibility and accountiblity for their own work, and if they can't hack it they should be FIRED. If you can't hack it, that's your problem, it shouldn't be mine.

Oh, and just because you're family does NOT mean your children owe you money. What's that? Your powers shut off because you paid for your daughter's rent and you spent the last of your check on cigarettes that you "needed?" Tough cookie. Go light a fluckin candle.

And let your daughter and her husband fall on their rears. They're adults. Mommy and daddy should not be paying their bills.

Ok now I'm done.

I have a strict policy against loaning anyone money. DH's family would bleed you dry if you let them (and MIL does let them). They all know not to ask us because it will never ever happen.

Agreed. My in laws think that we should just hand money over because we are all family, and family helps family. But their entire family is divided because people loan money and, of course, no one pays it back. If you give family money, you need to consider it a gift and expect to never see a penny of it again. We just tell them that we don't have any money every time they ask. Obviously a lie but I'm not paying their bills.

Call me a giant Bish but I outright tell them I'm not paying for them because they are grown people. If you can't afford the monthly payments on something then you shouldn't buy it.

One time DH's cousin asked for money "to buy diapers". When I gave her a package of diapers instead of the cash to buy them she was disappointed. I said, "looks like you weren't planning on buying diapers with my money were you?!"

Clyde013 · June 2013

I had a strange confrontation with a manipulative coworker. I'm starting mat leave and he tried to suggest my name be removed from a project I had worked on and be replaced with someone else. At first I said nothing but after I was enraged bc I know how manipulative he is and how he tries to elbow people around. So I wrote a strongly worded email explaining that I have done the most work for this project and do not think my name should be removed. At the end I won and they are keeping me on but it has ruined my week having to confront socially folks that I work with.

I actually lost sleep over this and that makes me mad!

LOl, I know what you are talking about, that whole show is annoying. I feel the same way about Caillou, and that is definitely DD's favorite show right now, but his voice is just SOOOOO annoying, and he is such a whiner, I can't stand him.

I'm not looking forward to having children's TV on in my house...

thegoodpotato · June 2013

I was getting guilty pleasure for getting so many cuddles from my toddler because she is sick. She is not a cuddler, and when she's feeling off is the only time she wants to be close or cuddle.

Now I'm getting really, really impatient with having a little limpet attached to me all day long. I love you kid, but I need some time when I have two arms to do things... And seriously, I'm already carrying 22lbs of baby weight, I can't carry another 27lbs of toddler around. I just can't.

Thank goodness we have a long weekend and I have some help!

I have never put on Caillou. I will admit to liking Spongebob, so I put him on in the afternoons. There are seriously 20 episodes in a row everyday and I currently have zero energy and patience.... So the TV gets turned on and the iPad is out. She pays very little attention to the TV but loves the iPad. PBS kids, abc mouse, and Fisher Price apps are my savior!

I get the same way with Mike the Knight. It's more tolerable than most of the shows, but he's just so goddam stupid!!! Gah!

And every time we watch Octonauts I get the stupid creature report song stuck in my head...

I hear you. I love the cuddles when we are in bed, but I would love to eat a meal without 20 lbs of squirming child on my lap. Not to mention there is currently not much lap left to sit on.

Amen to the zero patience or energy. DD loves Mickey Mouse Club house, and lucky me I don't hate it... She also likes Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and has learned to "count to 10" (sort of, she skips 7 and 4) from them... because we sure haven't taught her, we're working on letters!

queenbone · June 2013

1) I snore when I'm pregnant. I have never been told I snore except for during each of my pregnancies. The other night DH said it sounded like he was going to bed in a lumber mill. I offered to wear some of the breatheright strips I buy for him, but he declined the offer thinking they wouldn't be enough to stop my snoring. The truth is I don't feel bad one bit. He is a horrible snorer and has been keeping me awake at night for the last 11 yrs.

2) I wish all our friends would return from their trip to Spain for our mutual friends' wedding. I'm so tired of the constant stream of awesome vacation photos in my FB feed. Crying

My non-baby FFFC -

I've never eaten a PB&J and have no plan to ever eat one for the rest of my life.

May drives me nuts too, her voice is like finger nails on the chalkboard.

Me either! My mom didn't feed them to me when I was younger and I honestly think the combination is gross! I grew up on pimento cheese sandwiches instead of PB&J.

To jump on this bandwagon... why the F does Dora have to shout so much? She never just speaks, she only shouts, and to top it off, she frequently says "Louder!" STFU Dora!  I seriously have to keep the volume super low... and lucky me, she is the only thing LO watches. 

We don't have a TV on the main floor where we spend our day, and I'm so glad. DS gets fixated in shows, and the whining is na enough when he's wanting the iPad... I'd hate to know what it would be like if he could see the TV all the time.

Mine: after day upon day of newbie drama, it feels too quiet in here...dare I say I miss the occasional drama laden newbie?

PrimRoseMama · June 2013

I am ashamed to admit this, but yesterday I sat in my chair to eat breakfast with DD. She was in her high chair and I usually use a wooden one. Now, in my defense, this chair is something like 10 years old and we got it second hand at good will. I've been sitting in it forever with no problems.

Well, not this time.

This time the legs cracked out from under me and I fell to the side. Thankfully it wasn't that far to the floor and my pride was hurt more than the rest of me. I have a bruise on my hip/side. I confess that it made me feel like a fat, fcuking cow man. Like, I've NEVER broken a piece of furniture just by sitting in it. #shame

I called my OB and they just want me to monitor movement and watch for any bleeding. I've got great movement from my Little Lion (DS) so I'm not really worried about anything in there. I hurt and feel really foolish.

This PBJ admission is messing with my worldview man. I LOVE PBJ.

Also, PB plus honey and banana (I think a shop around here calls it The Elvis, because that's how he used to eat them. I lurve Elvis) is so effing delicious that it seems like a crime, but delicious sweet crime.

Agreed. I will punch my mom in the throat if she tries to "get those contractions going" or "pop that water" by pushing on my belly one more time. That sh!t hurts! I appreciate all of the help with moving us into the new house, but please go home and wait for a phone call like a normal person.

Yea, I have officially told my mom off several times. She gets it though...so I don't feel too bad.

I keep spending money because I'm thinking when baby gets here, I won't be spending any time shopping online or in stores. But I should probably stop dipping into future weeks' budgets.

I really don't want my baby born on the fourth of July. I want him to have two separate celebrations! Plus we already have one grandbaby in the family with a fourth birthday.

Wait a second, you know you can have two separate celebrations anyway right? You could do his/her bday the weekend BEFORE the fourth. You can do it with any holiday.

sparkymcgeee · June 2013

I have a few.

We watch a lot of Disney in our house and I don't really mind. Good Luck Charlie is pretty funny actually.

My doctor called me yesterday and told me that she was the in house doctor Sunday. She said if I come in she won't send me home. I'm considering it. It's only one day sooner than my induction anyway.

I haven't been to the dentist in like three years. I have full dental coverage but it just hasn't been priority. I have a super painful molar that developed about a month ago and I should go in but it's a lot of work. I'll probably put it off another two weeks because of terrible timing now.

Thank you! I completely agree! I am one of 6 kids, and my parents financially support every one of my 5 adult siblings. Meanwhile, my parents are trying to retire because my dad had a stroke in November, but can't afford to do so because they are stretched too thin. I just wish that my siblings would put their big girl and boy pants on; start acting like adults; get real jobs even if it sucks, has weird hours, or is unrelated to their major; stop wasting money on alcohol, bars, parties, and concerts when they can't even pay their rent; stop mooching off my poor parents; and grow the fluck up! Ugh...

My FFFC: My brother recently broke up with his GF, so he is currently crashing on a friend's couch. We purchased a new home on Monday, but the sale on our city house won't be finalized until the end of July. However, due to trust and cleanliness issues, DH and I will not be offering to let my brother crash in our rowhome while it is vacant. I feel like a b!sh leaving my brother high and dry when I have the means to temporarily solve his problems, but we have been burned by him before. After a 2 month rent free stay last year, he left half empty beer bottles strewn across our spare room, stains in the carpet, and a huge hole in the drywall.

Sorry to screw with your head, Prim. I like jelly. Love PB. Just can't get them together for some reason. But - I have eaten PB, banana and bacon sammies. Those are amazing! I think that it was called 'The Elvis' as well.

Driving home just now I noticed a dead squirrel in the middle of my street. I think it's the same squirrel that ran in front of my car as I was leaving the house earlier. I killed a squirrel.

Hey now! Wink No worries of abuse in our house. Before I moved in, DH lived on PB&J. I'll bet money on him feeding her that for lunch/dinner/snack when she is older and I'm not around.

PB honey sandwiches all the way. I don't add banana but its acceptable. Bacon sounds weird to me... But I guess I wouldn't be opposed to try it.

I hate jelly.

Pink724 · June 2013

I love PB&J sandwiches! I also lived on PB & banana sandwiches first trimester. And for a special treat, PB & marshmallow fluff! YUMMY.

Prim - I am so sorry about the chair incident! Glad to hear you and the LO are ok, but how scary!

My FFFC - I am eating two chocolate croissants for lunch. Whoops.
