FFFC!!!!

Lola825 · October 2013

Ok, I LOVE ice cream cake, any kind (cake mixed in too). I agree that I am not crazy about candy corn but if they are around I will eat them until they are gone. Its weird.

I learned to tie my shoes when I was two, I taught my brother and a few friends. But, I'm left handed and was told thats why it came quicker to me? I dont know if there is any truth in that.

I think you should live in a house you are comfortable in, sometimes you need to have a house/apartment or two to learn what you really want out of the space you will spend your days in. We've designed and redesigned our house based on *experiences* not pictures or ideas we *think* we might like. We learned that the hard way though.

Time zones are crazy and I really feel for those of you who live close to a time-zone change.

Ok my FFFC- I have two friends who are pregnant with #2, due within a day of each other. They don't know how long DH and I have been trying or that we are having trouble, just that we are trying. I've been avoiding them for a month or so because its too hard to hear about their pregnancies and babies. I feel like a bad friend, but I dont want to have the talk about how we are struggling and I can't emotionally listen to their pregnancy stories or excitement. Bleh.

hampire said: I live in Arizona, and we don't do the whole daylight savings time thing. But, some of the reservations located inside Arizona do daylight savings time. So you could go back and forth to a few different times just by driving through the state. Just to make it more confusing

The part I find confusing about Arizona is when you leave the state. Sometimes the neighboring state is on the same time and sometimes it's not. The most fun part is that half my department is in California, so we're on the same time zone as them half the year and an hour earlier the other half of the year. People get so confused all year long, it's annoying.

A while ago I had a really intense sex dream about me and a lady I work with who is a total fox. I am straight. I feel weird around her now and she asked me about it, but I can't tell her it's because I had a sex dream about her.

I have awkward sex dreams about women sometimes, but I'm always a man in them. Things get very weird in dreamland.

Related: I had a sex dream about Prince Harry the other night. It was AWESOME.

I like ice cream cake and candy corn.

FFFC- I flipped off a cop once. This is the most scandalous thing I've ever done in my life lol. It was not one of my prouder moments, and luckily they just gave me a ticket for disorderly conduct (which I later got dismissed) rather than take me to jail for being a bitch.

My in-laws still make fun of me for it on the reg. It was in 2008.

I can't tie my shoes.

Okay, I can make a bow, but it takes me forever and it's always terrible. I blame my preschool teacher and my mother. I hate wearing shoes. When I was in preschool my teacher got tired of always tying my shoes for me and asked my mother to buy me slip ons. That way when I took them off she could just slip them back on instead of retying them. Well I never learned how to tie my shoes. No one taught me. Finally in the 6th grade, after wearing slip ons for years, a friend of mine helped me out. I still struggle with it. It's a pain and embarrassing.

My husband can't tie his shoes properly, either. I'm guilty for having teased him for that! Looks like I'm going to be the one teaching the kids how to tie their shoes one day...

@IvyMagic828, After my shoes coming untied a few times walking through Disney last week DH informed me that I was "going to learn properly before the children need our assistance". Honestly I agree with him, I don't want to tell my kids that "Mom can't tie her shoes, go ask Dad for help."

Ok, but... I just have to say... how hard can this be to figure out?

My (lame) FFC: I'm feeling sort of intolerant lately.

I'm fresh off a business trip, so here's mine: I'm not interested in talking to the people who sit next to me on the plane. I don't care where you're from, where you're going, what you plan to do, etc. I just want to listen to my ipod, read and get the fucking flight over with. I don't want to make friends or chit-chat. I was next to this guy who was trying so hard to make a conversation happen and it was getting on my last damn nerve. I will be polite and speak if necessary, but other than that, you ignore me and I'll ignore you.

Thank you! And don't talk to me on the elevator, either. I don't want to talk to you. Yes, I can tell it's raining...I was just out there.....And for the love of all that's holy, don't comment on my food, bags (I bring two bags usually because I have my gym bag which is large and my work bag), outfit, etc. Leave me the fuck alone.

FFFC: From the above, yesterday, our cafeteria had beef stroganoff for lunch. They only have it every few weeks and I really like it. So I got it yesterday. I had a really rough week of workouts and still had two to do yesterday afternoon so I've been tired, cranky and hungry. I asked the lady to please give me an extra scoop of noodles and some veggies, too. The guy behind me made some irritated noise, probably because I was "taking too long" and then said "Well, I guess *someone's* pretty hungry today. No diet, huh? Hahahahaha!" I turned around and, before I could stop myself, said scathingly "I'm training for Ironman. What's your excuse?" and walked out....Here's the worst part: I felt so guilty for getting so much food, I threw it away. I then bonked badly on our run and H asked if I'd eaten. And I lied and said yes because then I felt guilty about feeling guilty and throwing the food away.

Um - he is lucky you didn't kick him directly in the nads. What a fuckface.

It's not his fault...not really...He doesn't know me or my past or my triggers or my issues.....it was a stupid thing to say but not necessarily insensitive if he didn't know me.....I'm basically a mess. I also felt guilty for saying that to him....

Maybe, but - to shame someone for eating more food, even if it's a joke, is just rude, IMO.

When MIL said she wanted a dog I recommended a small/medium dog with a mellow personality. I mean they don't like to go on walks, they wanted a dog to just be in the house so that was a perfect fit. What did they get? A German Shephard/Rotweiller/Chow Chow mix puppy with loads of energy.

So as a "welcome to the family" gift I gave her a gift card with the exact amount for puppy and basic training. I even told her I'd go with her and help. She spent it in toys instead.

Now the dog is three years old. It's friendly with my dogs because they're the only dogs he's interacted with on a regular basis as a puppy. But it hates any other dogs. The dog is not socialized, not trained (not even basic recall), and not neutered. So when they travel guess who gets the dog? Yep. Yours truly. I can't stand the dog. It digs, it breaks stuff, it doesn't listen and ILs think it's so cute that he's so "stubborn". Walking him feels like my arm will come out of the socket. Not to mention the dog escapes and needs to be tricked into the house cause he will not obey come recalls.

I want to tell them they need to shape up and train the dog... Consistently. No excuses! You chose to get a big, energetic dog, now be responsible for it. But they are super touchy about the issue.

I sometimes fantasize (though I'd NEVER do it) stealing the dog from them, hide, train the damn thing and return it well behaved and neutered) That's my long confession. Boy it felt good to vent!

As a former dog groomer and vet/kennel tech, I have to say that I fucking hate hearing shit like that. People don't think when they get dogs. Then don't care if their dogs are assholes. And that makes THEM assholes. IMO having a dog is something people too frequently don't take the necessary responsibility for and then criticize others for not wanting to be around their dogs. If everyone took the time to train their dogs and spend the time and energy necessary to make them behave, it would literally save the lives of so many dogs who get put down for bad behavior simply because no one ever taught them otherwise. It's truly shameful and I feel so bad for the dogs.

pjaimeal · October 2013

A bit of a back story....I got married to my first husband when I was 20. Bought a condo in an area where a lot of our neighbors were around the same age. My husband cheated with the neighbor directly next door which also meant she cheated on her husband. We were somewhat friendly so after a long period of denial and "therapy" I called her and asked her, girl-to-girl, was she sleeping with him. Of course the answer I got was NO. I finalized divorce proceedings and moved on with my life. My ex and his floozy got married and had a kid. Got a call the other day that alluded to the fact that my ex is filing for bankruptcy, for the second time.

FFFC- I really, really, really really really want to send her a message and just start off by saying thank you...and obviously go from there. I know it wouldn't make me the bigger person, yada yada yada. And it is not that I don't care about that, it is just I really want to do it. She was so mean to me throughout all of the mayhem when she was the one sleeping with my husband! Actually, I am not going to justify it to everyone, when the real reason is I just get all giddy thinking about it and want to actually go through with it.

ADH0906 · October 2013

@BrazilianPeach : I'm really ashamed to say that my parents are like this too. Training a dog doesn't even cross their minds... they just get rid of it when they can't handle it any more. We had a mini schnauzer growing up, and it was such an amazing job that they just decided dogs should behave on their own. They just got a new weiner puppy who barked and nipped at me the entire time I was there last week. My mom actually said, "You have GOT to be kidding me. Another dog that barks all the time! I know they make a dog that doesn't do this." I love my mother, but who the fuck do you think makes good dogs? They were hinting at having to get rid of her, and my heart is breaking. They're otherwise good people, but DH's family are super responsible dog owners and I know it really bothers him that they do this. I wish I could just shake them.

Hub's best friend adopted a big dog as a puppy. They didn't bother training the dog either. He's not even housebroken. They built it a doghouse so it just stays outside. I think that's inordinately cruel. Our winters aren't that warm and our summers can be very hot and it's not temperature controlled.

We dogsat once. ONCE. The dog pissed and shat on our carpet, ate rolls of paper towels, knocked things over, etc. It was a young dog, so I expect some level of rambunciouisness, but the dog didn't understand basic commands (NO, drop it, down, sit), and still doesn't nearly a year later. It was miserable. We will never do it again.

I judge them hardcore for this.

ADH0906 · October 2013

@Brazilian Peach: The shitty thing is, the dog's really sweet. She was taken from the litter by another young family, and they brought her back for whatever reason. I was alone with her for a whole day and she was awful, but DH said to make her do something to show that I was in charge. When she'd bark, I'd stand over her and make her roll onto her back and show her belly until she stopped. She was sleeping on my lap by end of the day. As soon as my mom came home, she was awful again. To my untrained mind, it seems like abandonment issues/clinging to my mom (who babies her and pets her when she barks)? Good luck with your ILs!

(Jesus, I need to get off TB and get something done today. Eventually.)

I used to be very much all about HTA (home toilet advantage) when it came to pooping. Now I prefer to poop at work because it means I can at least do it without worrying about what DD is up to while I'm indisposed.

Still, for some reason, I can't help feeling like I'm being dangerous for doing a basic bodily function in a bathroom that isn't my own.

I live on the edge.

We have a private bathroom at work and I love to poop there, partially because I enjoy the idea that I'm getting paid to poop.

I'd stop taking the dog when they go away.
-------- I tried it but DH gets upset. He feels like we should always help family. At the end of the day the dog is not worth arguing with him over.

Yes, but who is actually taking care of the dog? Given that you are complaining about it, my guess is that YOU are doing most of the caretaking. Let him handle it 100% if it's so important to help his family out.

People who do not train their dogs and then turn around and bitch about how noisy/annoying/badly behaved other people's children are are on my PERMANENT shit list.

To go along with the skinny jeans on kids... I can not stand when parents buy pants that sag for their children. It is bad enough when adults and teenagers do it. To see a 4 year old walking around with their underware out in public on purpose is disgusting.

I don't know if this happens everywhere or just in certain areas but I see it all the time.

Sometimes I silently cuss out parents who bring their toddlers in to my childcare center in skinny jeans.

Also no matter how much I try not to, I secretly judge one of my parents, whose two year old son has a gold stud in one ear.
I HATE the skinny jeans on babies. I watched my friend's little girl from 3m-1year. Every weekend , my friend would bring her LO over to my house squeezed into skinny jeans and she would only pack skinny jeans for the rest of the weekend. I finally went out and bought some stretchy leggings for the LO. I couldn't deal with peeling jeans off at every diaper change. PLUS! They were so tight that LO couldn't crawl or walk freely. Seriously, a baby doesn't need skinny jeans. Worst of all, my friend would talk about 'how fat' her LO was. Ugh!

Ridiculous that would piss me right the fuck off.

Babies/Toddlers in skinny jeans irritate me, I like legging pants or normal jeans. DD frequently wears flare jeans I think they are the cutest thing, and they aren't squeezing her to death. She can run and move.

I dislike a lot of children fashions these days, I want my child to dress like a child not like a mini adult/teenager.

The bolded above just makes me so sad. I sure hope she doesn't continue to talk about her LO's weight when she's old enough to understand, because that would totally fuck up a kid's self esteem.

That makes me so sad. Why would you comment on a babies weight? As much as I love my mother to death, her constant weight comments caused my eating disorder. It caused me to be underweight and unhealthy and I wasn't even chubby to begin with at 5'7 and 126lbs I was fine. I pray that the mom stops because no child deserves to feel like they aren't perfect in their parents eyes. I wouldn't wish an earing disorder on anyone and this is where this mother is going to drive her daughter.

Honestly, those 'fat' comments were the tip of the iceberg. I was really annoyed and talked to her about how those comments were flat out wrong and can be damaging to her LO. She didn't take me seriously. I spent many sleepless nights up worrying about her LO (for other reasons then just the fat comments) and crying about what was happening to our friendship. The friendship ended after my husband's deployment orders changed. I asked her if she could find another sitter for one weekend. I was able to let her know two weeks in advanced. I wanted to spend the last weekend with my DH before he left. She got pissed off because she didn't trust anyone else to watch her LO. She didn't want to have to take time off work or find someone else. I was explaining that this isn't just a business trip, that spending time with him was very important to me... The reality was that he may not come home. Her response. "Everyone dies. I could die tomorrow in an accident." WTF? - End of friendship

I do not blame you one bit for ending that friendship! OMG that sounds toxic. I have a friend that was pawning her child off on me every weekend (I love the kid to death mind you) but after a few months I was like really date night every weekend all weekend? Can I get one weekend where you return the favor and I had to "schedule" it.

yea not happy.

@AngelinaMarie26

My DD was the michelin baby rolls for days...once she started walking and running she thinned out some, she is over 3.5 ft tall and 43lbs and perfect. She wears 5t clothes and is not fat in any sense of the word. Her weight is not an issue in my eyes and I agree that those who focous on their childrens weight are more likely to give them a complex and possible ED. It's sad. Every morning I wake my daughter up by telling her she's gorgeous and smart and how much she is loved not making a big deal over her pudge and little thigh rolls. People need to get their priorities straight. GRRG!

@FINEdoubleLINE - that woman sounds terrible.I hope you no longer talk to her. That is so sad the way she is judging her poor daughter. It's not okay to call your baby fat.

My FFFC - I almost never cook dinner. I get free lunch at work that is usually a big, full lunch. So I'm really not that hungry for dinner and just want to have a light meal. Whenever hubs says it's my turn to make dinner we have "Fend for yourself night." And then I usually make him fend for me too. It's gotten to the point where he usually just makes dinner instead of asking me what I'm going to make.

DH does most of the cooking for us, too. If it's up to me, then it's usually whatever I can heat up quickly. If I have time to plan something and I have all the ingredients I need, then I may make the effort, but really, that doesn't happen, especially during the week. I get home between 5-5:30, DS needs to be eating by 6 so he can get his bath by 6:30, and in bed by 7. Adding preparing a full blown meal to that isn't going to happen.

@pearlsandcurls84 I think the reason Reeses pumpkins and eggs are so good is the peanut butter to chocolate ratio. They are DH and my favorite candy.

Pinkypumpkin313 · October 2013

Here's my FFFC: H's cousin/best friend and his wife are due about 2 weeks after I was supposed to be from our first loss. I couldn't stand her before she got pregnant, but it's even worse now.

H's birthday was less than a month after our second loss and she was about 15 weeks at the time. She sat right next to me at dinner and all she talked about was how exciting it is to be pregnant and how great her hospital that she's delivering at is etc. The.whole.night.

Then her husband decided to announce to all of Hs other friends, that they barely know, that they're expecting that same night. I was livid. Since then I have avoided them at all costs bc I'm still holding a grudge because I felt like that was really shitty.

H is a really good friend. Any time anyone needs anything (i.e. help moving, fixing things, someone to talk to...) he will drop what he is doing and be there. He expressed his excitement for them when they first announced their pregnancy and was very supportive. He still tries to get together with him and stay in contact with him, but his cousin hasn't been there for him at all.

I guess my real confession is that I have no interest in having them in our lives anymore, because they have proven themselves to be shitty "friends". I obviously don't expect them not to ever talk about it because it is a wonderfully exciting thing for them, but our wounds were still so fresh and they didn't even try to be sensitive.

@finedoubleline, what a terrible friend she was to you. What a horrible thing for her to say. Good for you for getting out of that relationship. I would have decked her.

I was so shocked I just stared at her, probably with my mouth open. I just handed her the diaper bag put her child in the car seat and walked inside. I don't remember saying anything to her after that. First, I was really upset at the thought of losing my husband. Then I was livid at her insensitivity and selfishness.
She changed a lot after her LO was born. I was trying to be sensitive because she was a new mom and having a difficult time. I put up with more than I should have and for longer than I should have. I was trying to be a good friend. That comment was just the last straw for me..

Yes some people change greatly after having a child; however that doesn't give them a free pass to be an insensitive selfish prick.

Such a sickening thing to say to someone. Especially a "friend".

The hubs recently ordered a whole bunch of stuff from Amazon. Before he checked out he asked if I wanted anything. I said sure and started naming the most ridiculous stuff like miniature horses and swirly glass dildos. The next day I get the email saying the order had shipped and it had all the photos of what he ordered including a clear glass dildo with a blue swirl!!!!!!!!

I started typing this in the vow renewal thread, but thought it was probably more appropriate here since I always have a hard time coming up with a FFFC. Something about vow renewals rubs me the wrong way. If you are having a renewal that means you already vowed right? So why do you need to renew them when they should be forever. The only reason I find it acceptable is if someone broke those vows and it was worked through and the couple decides they want to start over. Otherwise it's an excuse for a party and sends the message that you didn't take the first time seriously so you're going to do it again. I feel this way regardless if it's been 5 years or 50. If you've already made it 50 years seems you're doing a pretty damn good job, just throw a party but leave out the vows. If you're only at 5, sorry you get one wedding not two, you don't get to stomp your feet and have a second.

I have a friend who hasn't even been married a year and is already on Pinterest planning her 9 year vow renewal (random, right?). I think it's totally ridiculous and I don't think her marriage will last.
Maybe my FFFC is that I actually hope her marriage doesn't work out for a variety of reasons. She's also 'family' since she married DH's cousin. If they divorce, we're on team cousin for sure.

wow with friends like you who needs enemies.

s/o time zones, it completely blows my mind that prime time tv in the midwest starts at 7pm. That's so early!

I love it! I lived in the eastern time zone for 10 years and hated that prime time shows went until 11pm. Before DVR existed I actually would set my VCR and tape my 10 pm shows because I inevitably fell asleep half way through and missed the ending every stinking time.

dorothyzbornak97's. I can not stand when I'm walking down the street and some random stranger tells me to "smile". I don't think that I necessarily walk around with a frown on my face but you don't know me so don't tell me to smile! I don't know why that irks me so much but it has happened quite a few times to me.

Bitchy resting face! I have it too.

Guilty as well, I don't want anyone to approach me or try to make small talk...I want in and out and to be left alone in doing so. HA

My SIL is a princess and very demanding of my inlaws to watch her kids. Last night she told me my mil actually told her NO when asked to come out in a storm so my SIL could do stuff while my mil watched 2 babies. I got secret pleasure out of it but instead said, "Wow I can't believe she didn't come!" Edit: words

Confession: I have on a thin-ish top today (but still professional). The office is really cold, and while reading the FFFC on break I apparently put my hand in between my boobs to warm it up! And the only reason I realized I was doing it is because the kid who sits behind me walked by and made this face...

What the hell Hootie? Get your hand off your hooters!

'fat' comments were the tip of the iceberg.

I was really annoyed and talked to her about how those comments were flat out wrong and can be damaging to her LO. She didn't take me seriously. I spent many sleepless nights up worrying about her LO (for other reasons then just the fat comments) and crying about what was happening to our friendship.

The friendship ended after my husband's deployment orders changed. I asked her if she could find another sitter for one weekend. I was able to let her know two weeks in advanced. I wanted to spend the last weekend with my DH before he left. She got pissed off because she didn't trust anyone else to watch her LO. She didn't want to have to take time off work or find someone else. I was explaining that this isn't just a business trip, that spending time with him was very important to me... The reality was that he may not come home.

Her response. "Everyone dies. I could die tomorrow in an accident."

WTF? - End of friendship

Wow. What a piece of work. It blows my mind how insensitive people are. I'm so sorry that she said that to you.

I also have bitchy resting face! A friend of mine just put up some candid pics from her wedding, and I look MISERABLE. I actually texted her to apologize and tell her I actually did have a fabulous time! It's embarrassing.
