When people post stupid ignorant or just down right awful things I completely want nothing to do with them. The flammable part you ask? Even if they post in a stressful or scary situation I will rarely respond or give support.
A couple we know have decided to start trying to get pregnant. The husband works with my husband. I was never his biggest fan but my hormones have made me HATE him. Anyways, he constantly brags about their awesome sex life to my husband, just to make him feel bad because my husband hasn't gotten lucky much since I've been pregnant. Well I'm really really really hoping that when she does get pregnant she hates sex as much as I do.. Lol. Just so he knows how shitty he's been to my husband.
I hate when DH's family sends me a $20 ck in the mail and tells me they can't make the shower because Sept. is a busy month for them. This being the same group that did the same for my bridal shower in October. I'd really like to send the ck back and tell them to F off but DH'S prefers I keep the peace. It really just hurts my feelings that they can't be bothered to attend.
I think that you might be being a little sensitive. At least they took the time to tell you they aren't coming.
Sometimes I really do feel like shit (I'm sure we all do) but sometimes when I'm feeling fine and DH offers to do something for me--I totally don't correct him and let him do it. I feel guilty sometimes, but when else can I get away with this?!

I've told DH I don't feel well when I feel fine simply to get out of spending time with his family. They annoy me.

Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind
Heaven got a little better the day it took you away from me
Missing you tonight, see you again sometime
For now I'll close my eyes and dream of heaven tonight
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
Now and Forever
My baby you'll be
I picked the paint for babies room, it's supposed to be Grey, So we painted last night and its totally baby blue. I thought maybe wi second coat it would get better...nope, it's still baby blue. So my mom suggested holding something grey up beside it to see if its just my imagination, so DH held a grey towel...yup the room is for sure baby blue.
Luckily we are having a boy..but it's kinda bugging me!!! DH doesn't care so I guess that's good.
I always make and eat my lunch and then punch out for my lunch break at work.

Yesterday, DH brought me home Taco Bell and a couple of sliders from White Castle (not a big fan of WC, but it's usually like insta-bowel movement inducer for me) in an attempt to relieve the horrible constipation I've had this week. This was his idea, not mine, I guess my gas was so terrible in bed the night before last he felt compelled to try anything.
It helped a little, but not as good as I'd hoped. Bowels of steel right here. Maybe better luck this weekend...

I really regret getting our dog six years ago. After LO was born last year, her crazy beagle tendencies became so much harder to deal with. Last week, my son slept through the night after a really long summer of not sleeping and my damn dog was up all night crying and wanting to go outside. She tries to steal his food. Cries if we make her wait in the dining room while we eat. Doesn't play fetch- just steals his ball and runs away with it instead of bringing it back. I will never give her up because I think that's messed up too, but honestly, I wish we had never adopted her.
I know pets are beloved on here, so figured this is flammable!
This may be more of an UO but it annoys me that us newbies are given such a hard time for never posting anything one minute and are blamed for the board being lame but then when we do try to post we get hate for not posting the right kinds of things.
I honestly try to give support and comment when I have something helpful to say but I am just not the type of person to say something just for the sake of saying it. Also, a lot of times I refuse to comment on things because I don't want to get shunned or put on the blacklisted postit I know one of you have been keeping.
Oh and my FFFC is that early on when I joined I created a post that I regretted almost immediately. I DD after two or three comments. Ever since then and learning the "rules" I have been super terrified someone will call me out on it! Well, I refuse to live in shame and terror on here anymore. Let's get the flaming over with.
When people ask me how everything is going, I most always smile, nod, and proceed to tell them that things are great, and I am just sooo incredibly excited to meeting my baby.
Truth is...I am scared shitless! I don't have any experience with babies. I am frightened that my baby will hate me. Or maybe I won't like her. Is that possible? I am scared that I won't be able to soothe her when she's crying or won't know how to feed her. I am afraid of the toddler meltdowns in Target that will test my my limits. I am scared of someone kidnapping her. I am afraid for her getting sick, getting hurt, or someone breaking her heart when she's older. I am just utterly frightened and I can't help but think that I chose this! I chose to feel all of these things. Maybe it was baby fever, the cute baby clothes, the image of spending the holidays with a child...but now, as my due date approaches, I am not so incredibly excited to meet her. I am scared.
I have lots of experience with babies, and I feel most of all of this, too (I don't really worry about kidnapping; despite what the news would have you believe, it's very very rare - I do worry about leaving her in the car all day though.). I sometimes think, "Holy fuck. We can't take this back. We're past the point of no return." In talking to my mom friends, I think it's just part of being pregnant and becoming a parent for the first time. It helps to talk about it, I think, and just know you aren't alone.
I feel this way too sometimes. One minute I am SO excited to meet our son, the next I am scared shitless. I have experience with babies, but overall, I don't feel like I have a clue what I'm doing. I just keep reminding myself that I will figure it out just like all the mothers before me.

I have bought a few outfits, a blanket and a stuffed Goldy the Gopher in skates for Camille and that's it. I am not even done with our registries.
I think it would be fiscally irresponsible and morally irresponsible to attack Syria by ourselves. After hearing that Great Britain voted against getting involved, I really don't think we should either. I feel awful about what's happening there but why does United States have to police the world?
DH got really drunk last night with some business associates, totally random and not the norm. I didn't care, I just didn't want to share a bed with his drunk, stinky ass. Also, he drunk sleepwalks and I just can't handle steering him around the upstairs without letting him fall down the stairs right now.
When he got home around midnight I went downstairs to meet him and heated up his dinner and turned on the TV in the living room for him, knowing that he would fall asleep on the couch and I wouldn't have to deal with him after that.
My plan totally worked and I didn't have to see him until the sun woke him up at 7 AM.
I went to Target for shampoo and conditioner and left with a pack of newborn diapers, wipes, a cute plushy pink elephant and a pack of bibs.
I forgot the shampoo and conditioner.
If I had a dollar for every time I went to Target to get something in particular and walked out with everything except what I went for, I could go on a nice little Target shopping spree. I have to make myself physically not go to Target. Stupid Target.

One good thing to keep in mind, you and this baby are genetically engineered to like each other.

I appreciate you posting this! I love your honesty! I think we all feel this in some way even if we try and put on a brave face. I am also both excited and very scared. You are not alone!
I judge MANY or maybe even ALL of the parents at my daycare. I think each of them have some parenting styles that stick out like a sore thumb and is back firing for the child. I also talk crap about it telling the other teachers I work with that if I do that to please smack me.

oh - this reminded me.

People always say "what kind of terrible woman would leave a child in a car?" - well, I'm not a terrible person, but I do have a terrible memory! I've left keys in my front door, I've closed a 2-door car with DH in the back seat, DH can ask me to do something, and 5 seconds later, it's completely slipped my mind!
I really want to buy one of those car seat things that sounds off an alarm if you leave the car seat in the car - but I'm afraid of being judged by people!
Screw people who judge you for making sure your baby is safe! A good top I've heard is to put something in the backseat every time, even starting now. Something you will need, your purse, your briefcase, or my favorite, your phone. That way you'll keep baby double sage by not being distracted. You can also get in the habit now of always looking back there before you leave the car.
I judge MANY or maybe even ALL of the parents at my daycare. I think each of them have some parenting styles that stick out like a sore thumb and is back firing for the child. I also talk crap about it telling the other teachers I work with that if I do that to please smack me.
Sorry, I'm not sorry.
Love this!! The parents if my two charges have been home for the last two days and the kids are AWFUL!!! I'm counting the minutes until the weekend.
I get irrationally pissed when I do my billing. I'm an attorney so while everyone thinks I make a shit ton of money I actually only make about $25K a year because I do a lot of court-appointed work and give lots of clients discounts because the economy sucks where I live. I have clients that I know make $60-80K+ a year and still owe me thousands and haven't made payments in months. I have no sympathy for it and want to TP all of them in that situation-- especially when it's the type of case where I see their monthly financials and the stupid shit they spend money on. I have bills to pay too people-- a mortgage, 7 years of student loans, and staff members! On the other hand I have clients who can only afford to pay $20/month and send that $20 reliably every month. I could care less what their balance is because they pay on time and seem to appreciate that I have bills to pay too.

I completely understand. This is #2 for me- and I am still scared. We have a great routine with the 3 of us and I'm scared I won't be able to give either kid enough love and they'll both get screwed. When I was in labor for #1- the contractions were getting close together and strong- and I was terrified!! I told DH I'd thought it over and thought adoption was wonderful! Tried to convince the nurse that I needed a c-section. I was worried about the actual pushing for awhile.

My fffc is that I just got diagnosed with GD, I am being a horrible baby about it. Crying , complaining and basically panicking. I basically look at it as a prison sentence. I've never counted carbs, sugars or fiber in my life and I seriously do not know how to even go about doing this. It's so overwhelming, just trying to decide what I can and can't eat and when, that I have lost my appetite and don't even want to eat. I haven't even seen my nurse and dietician so I haven't even started the fingerpricks which is terrifying to me ,being that I am horribly scared of needles . I know, I know , I already hear you ladies saying " suck it up and put on your big girl panties this is for your LO " I know, I get that . It's just a scary overwhelming thing right now . On another note, I have a shitload of family coming over this weekend and I am dreading it. I hate hosting people at my house , I'm just not the hostess type. I like my space and privacy so, it is gonna be a challenge being "on" for so long .

I am secretly ecstatic that we are having the baby so close to Thanksgiving so that DH and I don't have to play musical houses. I finally have a legit excuse for us to stay home, have our own Thanksgiving and not have to worry about offending anyone.
::looks to see that my husband's out of the room::
Me too. I get along with his family, and like them as individuals, but Thanksgiving is always a Huge Deal, involving 40-80 people and multiple parties and get-togethers, all crammed into about three days, plus travel. Every year it exhausts me, but he's only missed one of these yearly reunions in his life before this, so there's no getting out of it usually. So I'm quietly thrilled to stay home this year.

My husband and I feel the very same way! My sister gets ALL of the holidays because she has the grandchildren and I am ecstatic that I have this excuse now! She won't travel on birthdays and holidays so guess what...neither will I:)
