Let's get out all those vents we have, especially the common ones that tend to pop up a lot. Ain't nobody got time to read all those threads. Put it here.

MommyAmes2 · October 2013

My kids are sick and it just won't go away!!!! Germs, leave my kids alone, for real.

bendicott7 · October 2013

I was thinking about going to the mall today and then I realized it was Columbus Day and it would be more crowded, and then I realized there would be Columbus Day sales, and then I realized I should not be spending money. No mall for me.

Also, DH told me if I got up at 5 (depending when LO got up to eat) to go for a run that he would be there in case LO woke up. This morning I was getting ready to run and he decided that he was going to the gym. No run for me.

It's going to be back up to the mid 80s this week. Blah I wish it would stay a lil cooler.

Ditto. It's frightening. Time for a chop, I suppose!

Dh gets so frustrated w dd when she's upset. Last night she kept fussing. She was clean and fed. She was over tired. He started grumping at her and you could hear the frustration in his voice. I took her from him and patted her back and rocked her. She calmed down long enough for him to say "I just did that! What the f...?!" And then she started again. I told him I don't have a magic touch. Hes frustrated and she can tell. After she finally fell asleep, he apologized for getting frustrated and said I just have a longer fuss than he does. Well h, grow a longer one or get one installed! I go back to work in 2 weeks and I can't go to work worried about the both of you not getting along! Sorry...rant over.

I want my body to go somewhat back to how it was. It's really taking a toll on my self esteem. I find myself constantly comparing myself to other women who have recently given birth and they look better. I have 23 lbs to get back to my pre pregnancy weight but my goal is to lose more 13lbs.

I also think my car is going to die and that just isn't good.

MitsB707 · October 2013

Dh started eating a salad at lunch every day for a week, stopped drinking so much iced tea, and lost 15 lbs. I like a fat, fatty, fat fat since even though I lost 23lbs so far, with his recent weight loss we now weigh the same. I'm proud of dh for getting healthier, but now I want to drown my sorrows in baptism cake from this weekend.

mommabmb · October 2013

So. Freaking. Tired.

bendicott7 · October 2013

@RK125, I didn't "love" your post because I love the situation, but rather because I understand completely.

V&G101808 · October 2013

LO's baby dedication was yesterday. He behaved beautifully and didn't make a peep throughout the entire service.

My SIL's boyfriend was supposed to take pictures while we were at the alter with the pastor. Well, not sure what the hell happened but MIL decided she wanted to take the pictures. Mind you, it's a DSLR camera.

I get home and look through the camera. She captured our feet, our backs, and everything else was fuzzy and out of focus. We now have zero pictures of the actual presentation. I almost cried.

Chelseai2010 · October 2013

I'm sick of waking up to an empty house (other then the kids) every morning. He gets off work at 7 am. It's after 9 and he's still not home and hasn't called or sent a text. Never does so in not surprised. But he works a 5 min drive away. Wth takes so long to get home. I need that 5 min break when he gets home in the morning to breath a little

Emeraldeyed315 · October 2013

I am dreading seeing my ILs this weekend. They make me so uncomfortable and hog LO

I am getting major anxiety over our baptism this coming weekend seeing these posts! Yikes...:-/

shelbell1028 · October 2013

My new neighbors are the most disrespectful, trashy people I have ever met. We own and they rent and I'm frustrated and upset that I feel like I'm being forced out of my house because of them. They've only lived there a month and yesterday she told me I never should have moved here (been in my house for 6 years!) and that I never should have had kids (b/c I asked her to stop her kids from playing on my property and bouncing balls against my house and fence)! I must be a horrible mother b/c I don't want her son throwing his basketball against my window. Lady be crazy!

janneann1127 · October 2013

I don't want to hear how your 4-week-old just slept 8 hours when my 10-week-old can barely go 5 hours. Don't.want.to.hear.it.
Not to mention, a full Monday at home with my sick toddler and a baby.. ugh these are the days I wish my family was closer. :-(

Rowcate · October 2013

Kinesiology sucks! It's hard to maintain my GPA considering I am sleep deprived, my mind is gone and my heart just wants to be home with my babies.

@nnikki10 I don't like 80's but this morning I woke up to 33 degrees....I will take 80 please! I had to explain in detail to my 4, 5, and 8 year olds why they had to wear coats!

CBiggs85 · October 2013

DH on with phone with an aunt yesterday: "anytime you are in the area just stop and ring the bell"

I explained to him that I would rather him not tell people that for obvious reasons which you all understand but apparently he didn't. He accused me of starting a fight but I found my request perfectly reasonable.

TurtleMomma · October 2013

Wtf catholic church, I want to have my son baptized but you make me feel like a shitty person. And you wonder why people, keep leaving...

Sorry you have a crappy Parrish. Is there another one nearby that you may be able to go to? I'm scared to check out the catholic churches near me since my Parrish back home is surprisingly liberal and so much more progressive than any of the churches I went to where I used to live. I have yet to venture into one where dh and I live now.

RoosterMemphis · October 2013

If one more of my pregnant friends asks me if they should breast feed, circumcise, vaccinate, or get an epidural I might lose my shit. How bout you do your own research like I did, and make your own educated decision?

amarissa85 · October 2013

@rowcate biology pre med major here and I am struggling too.

kwrecks · October 2013

My husband runs a restaurant. They open at 11, but on Mondays they have inventory, and he has to get there at 6am. The person that helps him with inventory on Mondays apparently was sick this morning, and called to let DH know at 3:45am. I had JUST gotten LO to sleep, and I had just fallen asleep myself. I couldn't get LO back to sleep until 5am, and she was up at 7:30 to eat. So, our night time schedule was all screwed up, and both LO and I (and DH, since he was then back up at 5am to get ready to go to work) didn't get nearly enough sleep. I appreciate that the guy called to let DH know that he wouldn't be there, but really?! 3:45am?! The guy knows that we have a baby. A text message would have been just fine. UGHHH.

EricaLee2013 · October 2013

As we laid in bed last night, DH squeezed my "ass" not realizing it was actually my tummy pooch. To make matters worse, his finger tips were right on my c-section incision. I don't know what's worse, the pain I felt or the embarrassment that he thought my belly was my ass. Ughhhhh.

CaliforniaDream87 · October 2013

I'm over the WW posts. Dude...it's not accurate for every baby. Let me repeat: it's not accurate for every baby. Mine included. Actually I can't pinpoint once instance where I felt like my LO was on *track*.

Agreed....I think you need to make sure your LO is not completely behind (my DD3 was a "lazy" baby and didn't reach milestones until much later than normal but now at 4 she is on track) but people get crazy about this!

I agree with making sure your LO isn't behind for sure. I feel like my LO is always ahead. Like "he was already doing that or showing those signs".

I agree with this, but I get why people are so into it. My baby has shown some signs but not all of them, not enough to make me sure that she's going through a WW leap. I think it's just reassuring for people who are going through fussy periods, to be given a reason why they could be going through that.

Meh, similar thing happened to me except it was my love handle. It'll get better, remember you did the most important thing with that body- make a beautiful baby!!

BabyE143 · October 2013

@V&G101808 That sucks

I would cry too

Mine is I think I'm getting a cold, AF came, and all DH wants is sexual relations before he leaves (can't blame him).....motherfather!

I have an overnight work trip/flight coming up next weekend. I just realized I have to find a way to carry on my purse, computer, DSLR, breastpump, ice pack bag, and my effing clothing. Ugh. Something is going to get broken. I just know it. My boss already told me to be ready to not check a bag since we will be in a hurry to get off the plane and to the site.

Could you do a backpack and a suitcase? The pump and purse could go in there with the camera and the stuff in the suitcase? I was going to try this when we traveled next month. When I took the pump out of the bag it wasn't big at all.

MitsB707 · October 2013

My cell phone has breast milk dried on the touch screen. I don't know how this happened. I tried to clean it, and now it's just streaky. Fml

DH used to do this when we had our first. He said the best thing I ever did was leave him alone. He was able to learn to do it on his own and get some confidence. He also didn't have to worry about upsetting me because the baby was fussing "too long" for me. Maybe you should try leaving the house for q few hours to let your H learn.

Great advice! 3 Kids later & DH is STILL awkward holding a newborn. I made a comment last night (after he moved her from the boppy, to the swing, to the rocker) "why don't you just try good ole-fashioned holding her?" and he said "I just never feel like I'm doing it right." He's a great Dad, but I think when they're so little they feel so fragile to him, and he feels like he's not "natural" with it like I am. Definitely leave him alone with LO, and start the habit now so you both get used to it!

I don't have much to complain about... maybe that I feel fugly still after baby, but that's nothing new.

AprilRaine · October 2013

DS1 is showing all the signs that he's ready to potty train. What the hell kid? Way to throw mom a curveball! I was not ready for this and have no clue what I'm supposed to do. He's currently running around naked with a magazine. That's a start, right????

NikkiD522 · October 2013

Before I bitch, let me say that I am back at work and reviewing the cuteness that is ALL OVER this board and I can't get enough! It's such a difference seeing everyone's pictures!! I guess I'll have to picture you as what you look like now :-) Everyone's babies are flippin adorable!!!!

Ok.. so besides being back at work, I have decided to jump right in and work on my signature.. except for that this site is absolutely hopeless for making that easy... I swear I'm semi-intelligent and now I know why there's a "help with signature" post every other day....

shootthemoon · October 2013

Wow SIL. I know everything is about you and all, but really? We were reluctant about having visitors today in the first place, but agreed bc DN & DH are off school/work the same day and that's rare. So now you decide to be an hour late? I'm a parent and I get it, but that's a little ridic, especially since you didn't tell us yourself but made MIL do it.

Lilmrslay · October 2013

LO slept 12 hours with one 40 minute feed last night. Tonight she has been awake from 11.30pm til 3am and grunting since then. It's now 6am. And to add to all her grunting my husband is snoring as loud as a chainsaw next to me so I have had about 2 hours sleep total. Both are oblivious to what they are doing or to how wound up I'm getting.

Okie I totally understand!! I'm from so cal and at 33 degrees I would have on long underwear ha!! I guess I'll appreciate it a lil more

Bunnyfer · October 2013

I honestly thought I would not want to be a SAHM....but since going back to work...I know thats what I want....but I am the breadwinner, so I have to work...It makes me resentful to DH and I hate that feeling, but I am pissed he never applied himself all these years and now we paying for it.

mommabmb · October 2013

Another one. I just realized I am still too fat for everything in my closet, and I have a wedding in two weeks and go back to work Monday. Ugh... It's like swimsuit shopping the day after New Years..., not pretty.

BubblyDevil · October 2013

FU Costco. You change DH's schedule last minute because the CEO will be in town and you want to show him off. Yes, that's awesome you want his hard work to be recognized but I was really counting on him being home tomorrow.
