Anyone have anything they'd like to confess today?

I like the TTGP board and it may become my new "home" board for a while. I'm in a phase where the 212 feels like high school...I talk to the people I want to keep in touch with (or in this case, I'm FB friends with them!) and the rest I was never really close to anyway.

I told DH that I would rather be a dad than a mom. Why? Because on every vacation he gets to do what he wants anytime of the day while I'm the expected babysitter. He was surprised and a little angry when I told him that we needed to split up the responsibility 50/50!

So our 10 day vacation was somewhat miserable and I realized I would rather have the guy's job in parenting. Kind of sad for Nat...

This phenomenon amazes me!!! I know it happens everywhere, and I just cannot understand it!! I will say that my DH is pretty good, but I do feel like sometimes 55% of childcare duties falls to me. If I say anything about it, he always brings up all his friends who are out golfing or hunting every weekend. I constantly remind him that I didn't marry his friends and that's between his friends and their wives, but why as a society is this ok?

A friend of mine had to travel for work on a weekend and was panicked about leaving her 16 month old with her DH for the weekend. He's left the child alone with her multiple weekends for boys trips!! How do we fix this?! It drives me BSC!!!!!!

I spend more time on a college football forum than TB. I don't know anyone who is as interested in CFB as I am which makes football discussions difficult because they don't keep up with the latest news and seem to forget everything after a week. Ugh! Boring! Thank goodness for the internet and forums so the real fans can get together and chat.

who's your team? To this day, I am 100% convinced that the reason my DH and I are married is because of college football. When we first met he was totally amazed at the amount of knowledge I had about it and thought it was so sexy! I LOVE college football!

I just told DH I think we should switch bodies for a week.
#1,I'm PMSing and managing my emotions is extremely hard to do right now. I think men are more simple than women and I want to be simple too sometimes.
#2, I am so jealous of the way DS is with DH. Its night and day. He doesn't listen to me, and pushes my buttons a lot more than he does with DH. And its just not fair because I spend so much more time with him.
#3, even when were both home, I still do the majority of the parenting and cleaning. Frickin sucks. Just isn't fair. Working+parenting+cleaning+I have insomnia. I need a vacation!

MrMrsandBaby · August 2013

Awwww... @jldubb0626 and @suitern I miss you guys too but I totally stalk jldubb's new BMB and we are still FB friends!

MrMrsandBaby · August 2013

Oh and @suitern, totally come to TTGP. Some of the regulars are a bit crazy, but most are pretty helpful. I just don't like all the intro posts, but I just skip most of them!

My confession is that I just had a melt down in my office...while talking to my sister on the phone. She was inviting me to go out of the boat with them tomorrow and I can't...then I had to explain to her why I can't. I didn't tell her I was having a little minor surgery done yesterday, because she has a family too and I just didn't want to burden her with my issues. She got upset with me because I didn't tell her and then we just got to talking about it all and it made all the feelings of the 'procedure and it's possible long term affects' become real again. I cried myself to sleep last night, thinking all the 'what-ifs' and I thought it was out of my system. But apparently it's not and I just had myself another big ugly cry!!! So, here I sit, in my office looking like a hot mess because I just had a big ugly cry fest!!! Yay me!

While I am all for BFing your baby, the FB posts about it and links to articles about it are like a slap in the face to those of us who tried and failed. I hate seeing them because I feel like I failed Allison. I know I didn't, she is healthy as can be, but still...

I feel exactly the same.

I 100% agree with you. We have a super busy schedule until October and I too him once tho he have calmed down I'm taking a 5 day trip with my girlfriends while he stays home with the kids.
I thought he would laugh in my face but he realizes that he's been able to have more down time than me and told me to book the hotel that night. October can't come soon enough!

Same thing happens here. Doesn't need to be on a vacation. I would say that when DH is home/we are together out and about, overall, I do about 70% of the parenting. I do give him credit for his 30% or so, but still. The idea of going on a vacation has been so appealing to me lately but when I consider what a vacation would ACTUALLY look like for me, it would only be more work. Not sure if it would even be worth the huge hassle at this point. :-/
