I stick my hair on the shower wall so as to avoid clogging the drain.
When Tyler and I were first married, I forgot to gather up the furries and toss them. He showered after me.
When he left the bathroom, I rushed in, hoping by some prayer he hadn't seen the Chewbacca tribute on our shower wall.
To my horror, he had written "I love u" - using my hair.
I do the same thing with my hair. And it's cute that your husband is so accepting, but I am totally grossed out by hair in the shower. Even my own hair.
Ok, this is pretty flameful but I totally judge one of the mom's at DD's daycare. Her LO is a week older than DD and going through the 4 month wakeful. Instead of getting up and feeding him or cuddling him, she just lets him lay in his bed and cry for however long. She said she doesn't even know how long he cries because she goes back to sleep and ignores him. Her logic is that one time she went in to check on him and he smiled at her so she knew he was fine and didn't need anything. I really try not to judge other moms because this shiz is hard but I have to side eye her a bit.

+1 I thought I was weird for sticking my hair on the shower wall, but I guess its like peeing in the shower most of us do it...we just don't talk about it.
I'm addicted to online yard sales. Mostly through facebook mom groups but I have scored some awesome non recalled stuff and clothes for O at crazy prices! 2 weeks ago I got a joovy caboose sit and stand stroller for 40 bucks! The thing is practically new!

Me too!! On both. Got an orange one better than the pink one I sold, for only $40. I basically walk through my house now going, hmm.. what don't we use? What can I sell? It's sort of ridiculous. Lol. But, I've made sooo much extra money and we've gotten rid of stuff that's just been cluttering our house. Win/win right?
My confession is that sometimes I stay up way longer than needed during motn feedings bumping (like right now). Ds is sleeping in my arms and I could have gone back to bed 20 mins ago! And then tomorrow I'll complain about how tired I am...

this is me exactly, DH has finally started to do more around the house, because I am up so much at night, I will take it!
I didn't know AW meant attention whore or attention wanted. I thought it was for awwwww isn't this cute. I'm glad I didn't respond to anyone's posts or pictures with just "AW", that would have looked kind of accusatory.
I guess I am the minority here. I let my hair wash right now the drain....and I watch it. I always think "I wonder when the drain is going to get clogged?" Esp. lately because I've been loosing gobs of it at a time. Then I go about my day without a second thought of it. When the tub starts to get clogged, and MH is standing in water- that's when he will clean the drain. He always bitches about it's my hair blah blah blah....and I just don't care. I tell him "it's not my fault..I have no control over it."
Yesterday I smashed up a banana with BM and gave it to LO. I wasn't planning on starting until 6 months but boredom struck and I was curious to see what he would do. It wasn't fun or successful he nocked the spoon out of my hand 3 times. Now I can easily wait :P
I'm not buying my kid any gifts for Christmas. I don't feel bad about it either. He won't remember and will get plenty from his grandmas anyway!
I will however get him a stocking, ornament, and "1st" stuff. I just think gifts are silly at this point and the money would be better if I put it toward his college fund.
Before I had Ella I thought CIO was the way to get a baby to sleep.
I'm embarrassed I ever thought that.
Me too. I thought I'd have no problem at all listening to him cry if I knew his basic needs were met (he was changed, fed, etc). So far from the truth now.
Even when N was first born I thought I'd let her CIO when she turned 4 months old. I also planned on moving her to her nursery by 2 months. She's turning 4 months on Monday and is still in our room and I don't plan on letting her CIO anytime soon. I'm still not opposed to ever sleep training, I've just realized that it depends on when they're ready for it, and she's just not ready. Nor am I. I've also realized that she's a really good sleeper, so I might as well try other ways to get her to learn to fall asleep on her own without jumping to CIO. For example, last night she woke up and started fussing a bit. We did the paci dance for awhile, which typically works, and I could tell she wasn't going down with just that but wasn't hungry. I decided to try one last thing before picking her up and rocking her - so I let her hold my hand while she laid in her crib and she immediately fell asleep. In my mind, I feel like that helped her learn to fall asleep without motion (being rocked, bounced, etc), but I was still able to comfort her when she needed it. And I think eventually she'll be able to sleep without needing the comfort, but it's baby steps in them learning to go to sleep without help. Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part, but it felt like a step in the right direction.
Plus, while rocking her to sleep is super sweet, there was just something even sweeter about her grabbing onto my hand and that being all she needed to fall asleep. She just needed to know mommy was there.

@DaniJake617 I gave LO oatmeal cereal the other night just for shits and giggles. Mainly to see if he was ready... He kept more in his mouth than I thought he would but we couldn't get him to open his mouth, haha. Haha he didn't want you to take it away, that's why I did it too. He kept opening his mouth wanting more but more fell out than in haha. Now I have an idea of what I am in for this is going to be tricky and messy!!!
I think half if the people on this board are trolls, Catfish style. I just don't understand how often people can post and respond. I wishing could play more but I guess I suck at balancing kids and work because I seriously haven't even had the time to figure out gifs. Pathetic. So instead of placing the problem with me I'm just pretending people that have more time aren't real.
@lili23- The SAME thing happens to me. Like I look at the clock, and I could either start pumping at work and have to stay later, or I could finish up and pump in the car. Pumping in the car ALWAYS wins... but it's terrible. I am constantly worried I will get in a wreck and be unconscious, and the first responders will be like "WTF!?!??!"
@MegStory17 HAHA! I so feel that way too. I always wonder if people can figure out what I'm doing. I mean, I wear a cover, but it's pretty obvious! Especially when I'm stop and go traffic. Awkward!
I have no desire to do any holiday shopping this year for anyone but DH and LO. I think everyone else is getting pictures, and they'll just have to deal with it.
I figure I got a cute kid. I'll milk her for all of the Christmas picture things I can while she will let me.
H's mom mentioned last night that she likes having Thanksgiving with us and is sad she won't get it this year since we are going to my parents. We made the decision on the ride home that we will no longer even try to do Christmas with his side of the family. My side gets Christmas, his gets Thanksgiving.
I've never posted on the FFFC thread because even though it's supposed to be flame free, I don't want internet strangers to secretly judge me. My non-confrontational IRL personality has no limits.
ETA: I might have posted once but it was definitely a "safe" confession...
I hate Christmas music, but we've already started watching Christmas movies. DD2 brought me The Santa Claus this morning and said she wanted to watch it. Who am I to tell her 'no'?

Ellie will get presents this year but it will all be useful things, like a carseat and clothes.

I have one...but I don't fill it out.

I guess I'm not a baby book person.
I also stick my hair on the shower wall, and lately it's like a full head of hair every shower!
@ihearttab omg, I'm dying right now. That's awesome.

Also I still can't figure out what FFFC stands for....
@42Butterflies ME TOO. Except I knew @WasNotWas 's costume. I used to watch that all.the.time. as a kid.
