FFFC

Can I start?

LorMor · September 2013

My friend has always been the biggest parenting expert in the WORLD, because she was 10 when her sister was born, so she helped her mom a lot with the baby. She knows everything, and she knows exactly how everyone else is doing it wrong.

I keep trying to tell her that people's babies are different and parents generally do the best they can for their situation. And you do what you do.

Anyway. She has just had a baby, and my FFFC is that I am looking forward to seeing if she sticks to all the "rules" she has for everyone else.

I wouldn't wish a difficult baby on anyone, but even an easy baby is harder work than she makes out. (Unless I'm doing it all wrong...)

@BandEddie god Bless you and those triplets...from now on when I feel overwhelmed, I'm just going to think...it's only ONE baby!! I don't know how you do it! Definitely shouldn't be in the FFFC thread..lol

I love that: if in doubt, call it sensory play!

I went back to bed for 90 min after E and my H left this am and came in late to work. I was so pissed off and saying we should get divorced so maybe I needed the sleep? Ya think? haha.

DH and I just had a big fight where I dropped the D word. I don't think I meant it? But ya know, that man has communication issues...

My FFFC is that one of the things I look forward to the most in getting pregnant again is joining another BMB and participating in some sweet drama. I love the drama-free love fest we have here, but sometimes I just want to poke the beast and be a biatch.

Hahaha poke it Zieg. Even if it is me!

Never! I like you guys too much. Also, no matter how hard you try, you'll never be dumb enough to make fun of. We are all seasoned professionals now...

This probably isn't FFFC worthy but I sometimes miss being in school. I never thought I would say that, but where I am now I am not learning anything or growing mentally and I realized that I miss that stimulation. The sucky part is I knew this job would be like that - I was actively seeking this kind of job, and now I regret it.

I was just thinking this the other day...Whenever I have questions about current events (for example, the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict and how it applies to what's happening in Syria), my husband (who studied history into graduate school) hands me a book to provide me with some background. When I read those books, I realize how much I miss being in that setting, and I love it. Sometimes -- as silly as it sounds -- I have to remind myself that I don't need to actually be in school to read great books and learn new things.

Raylan has dropped his PM nap, so only one nap....and the lack of "me time" this has created has made me think it was fabulous timing to go back to work! Also I can see his top teeth coming in but it doesn't make me any less irritated when he still wakes me up twice a night just two weeks before his flicking birthday!

My FFFC: Every week I write out confessions but never post them. I read them then feel bad if I put them on the internet. They aren't anything flame worthy or even close but I feel like if I found the post years later I would feel bad for writing it.

My other FFFC: I am counting down the days until I can put up Halloween decorations. Also I have already planned out Thanksgiving Day since it's always at our house (which I love).

lady dixneuf · September 2013

I miss school I'd go forever if I could
Here's another confession: one of the reasons I keep pumping is I relish in the alone time at work. And reading tabloids.

I know what you mean, but it is really hard to find time to do it on my own. And I haven't been in a class in years, it's more that I miss being in that environment where learning is encouraged and people are always discussing new things. Even non-science things.

Yea, a lot of the time when I read these books, I tackle them 15 pages at a time. Many nights I'd rather watch shitty television than read, but when I do find myself engaged in a book it reminds me of how much I loved academia.

I just dropped cinnamon toast crunch down my bra.

Sometimes I feel like I'm my twin's mom and that their dad is just my husband, not their dad. He is a great dad when he's here, but I make all the decisions around here - what to wear, when to eat, how to sleep, what to buy... I envisioned us being a really egalitarian couple and it hasn't worked out that way.

So sometimes, they feel like just MY kids, and he helps out sometimes.

Rachelilly23 · September 2013

I forgot to take the dog out this morning and we were so busy trying to get DS1 to school on time that I don't even remember if he rang his bell to go out. Usually he rings the bell excessively until I take him out. So yeah, he definitely peed under the kitchen table and I didn't see it until DS2 crawled through it and smeared it all over the floor. Furbaby mama fail. And we were still totally late for school since I had to clean up the mess
