I'll start.

I have not read 50 Shades of Gray - nor do I ever intend to.

Me neither! The only reason I'm vaguely interested in the movie is because Jamie Dornan is slated to play Christian, but even though I love him, I don't think I can bring myself to spend money to go see it.

bibliophileemily · November 2013

I confess that I am jealous of the Grey's Anatomy and Walking Dead discussion threads and every week, I secretly hope that someone will start a Once Upon a Time or NCIS thread. I want to talk about TV too, but I seem to be watching the wrong shows!

JordynLeighx3 · November 2013

I think my mom is being very selfish. She wants another baby and is serious about making it happen. Now she's only 37, so she is not in any way too old, though she has only made time to see her grandkids 2 times MAYBE in a month (she lives 5 min away). She also has me 22, who lived with my grandparents since age 5 until out of high school. They raised me. And my brother 17, who she had partial custody of (tues, thur and every other weekend) since he was 4.

She is in no place to do that to another child. And her ducks are nowhere near in a row.

I don't understand the mindset of people like this.

bibliophileemily · November 2013

@JordynLeighx3: That's awful! I can't believe your mom lives that close and doesn't want to see those beautiful babies all the time! Geez...I get why you prefer your mother-in-law most of the time!

@melandjames14: What show(s) were you watching?

Aaaah can we be best friends!!!! I love once upon a time! Hooked! My SO makes fun of me says a 23 yr old should not be so into snow white lol

burneyonboard · November 2013

My FFFC is I pretend to be a horrible cook just so I get a break sometimes and DH will do it.

Lhyacinth888 · November 2013

I invite my MIL over to watch the kids so I can "clean the house"... I definitely spend at least 20 minutes not cleaning the house and just hiding from my kids/relaxing.

squatchiebaby · November 2013

Wow @JordynLeighx3. Sorry about your mom :-/ That would really upset me too.

24ladybug · November 2013

Follow up from last week DH does have to work thanksgiving. It is a bummer but I'm happy that I don't have to travel to the in-laws.

Debbie0580 · November 2013

This is a silly confession but a confession all the same. Up until a few days ago I thought @clgsquared was cig with a capital i not an l. I have no idea why. So I've always called you cig-squared in my head, not CLG-squared.

JBDamonM · November 2013

I am ashamed to admit this, but...... having LO in daycare makes me a better mom I think. The break is good for me and makes me feel more balanced. Plus I think it helps her sleep better. I feel awful for saying this.

Also - my MIL mentioned to my husband last week that she was going to BJ's that day and we shamelessly put an order of diapers in on her tab

24ladybug · November 2013

I have one more good one.
I work part time and I'm gone from LO for 6-7 hours. I want to stop pumping at work and just nurse when we are together. My DH is pushing me to continue to pump. He is being a bigger advocate then I am.
I haven't decided to kiss him or hit him up side the head....

squatchiebaby · November 2013

I'm afraid that when I have another baby I will 1) not love it as much as my first or 2) not love my first as much as I do now. My logical side knows this is ridiculous but I can't help but to worry about it! 2+tm reassure me, please!

ChicagoBroad26 · November 2013

I had 3 pints of Guinness at Ava's preschool's "Mom's Night Out" last night. Yum.

I was worried about the same thing before DD was born. It just happens. Your heart expands and you have the same amount if love for both of them.

Yep. I was the same way. And I cried when I first found out I was pregnant with #2 because I felt like my time with just my first baby- DS, my best buddy were over. It's amazing how your heart grows and you find the time to share special moments and make special memories with each child. Although my DH has admitted to me that he thinks he loves DS a little more which I understand a little since DS actually is a little person now and he hasn't had all the bonding time with DD yet. Plus DD is greatly attached to me and no one else and cries when poor DH holds her like 80% of the time...

Don't feel ashamed at all. Being a parent has made turned my overwhelming extroversion into some serious introversion. Its exhausted being needed all the time and I enjoy going to work and having an adult life and my kids enjoy school. We cherish our weekends and vacations (DH is a teacher, so he's home all summer with them) and we also enjoy our routines. Win-win situation, if you ask me.

none5 · November 2013

I am pissed at MH. Pissed. I am secretly hoping he will bring me home flowers and a bottle of wine. I won't be any less mad, but I would love some fresh flowers and a nice wine.

Im so sorry to hear about your mom. My mom is the same way though. She literally lives across the street from me and I have not seen her in 4 months.. She doesnt even ask to come over nor has she even called me in a month. So I know where you are coming from. This is why Im so close to my MIL!

My FFFC is that I have read 50 Shades of Grey. I cant say that I liked it, but I couldnt stop reading it.

tondraluv · November 2013

@24ladybug my husband has to work thanksgiving too & I really don't want to be around his dad or my family. I was thinking of booking a hotel & chilling out with LO. That would be heaven!.........add me to the never read 50 shades of Grey book

none5 · November 2013

Oh, and I am currently wearing my shoes in my house for no other reason than I know I am going out at some point today. Boom! ready to go!

This morning LO had a teeny tiny whitehead on his forehead. I popped it.

Excuse my while I go kill myself over the fact that your mother is only a year older than me.

I'm 35 years old and I watch Teen Mom 3 on Mtv. Actually, I have watched all of them. This season is tough to watch because I have a LO and the baby daddies on this season are EFFING HORRIBLE!!! It kills me to watch them yell and carry on and get physical with the mom right in front of the babies. I just want to shake these girls and say, "MOVE ON! YOU WILL NEVER BE A FAMILY WITH THIS GUY IN THE PICTURE!" These poor sweet innocent babies just sit idly by and want nothing but love from these piece of shit dads of theirs.

I'll be 33 next month and so do I.

Don't feel ashamed about this -- this is me 100%. Be proud that you know your own limitations and what is best for your family. I think daycare is good for everybody -- allows us to "work the work" of being independent people and allows LOs to start to learn how to interact, separate, etc. I miss him (sometimes) during the day, but I am always grateful for the break, and it makes me appreciate both sides of my life more. Nothing at all to be ashamed about.

I was JUST about to say this; "get dressed to your shoes!"

JSS1002 · November 2013

Apparently my confession today is that I am just echoing everybody elses confessions. Ha!

Hmmm. I'm working from home today. The cleaners arrived at 8, LO got his flu shot booster at 8:30, I dropped him at school just after noon, I'm on a conf call and bumping while my home is being cleaned, and once it is over, I'm taking myself out for lunch and a massage over my lunch break. ;-) Then home to do my afternoon conf calls from the treadmill instead of hitting the gym. Ordered groceries for delivery.

And THAT is how I like to multi-task. ;-)

JollyWife said:

I feel like I had one yesterday but I can't think of it. So a boring one: I am at home most of the time, but we are going to get someone to come clean the house once a week. I'm not even ashamed. If I could I would have someone come cook, too, but I'm sure that's pushing it. I (mostly) love my time at home, but I don't really want to do anything other than hang out with my kids and relax

Again, if you can afford it, don't apologize! I love to cook, but we have somebody come clean once a month (I can handle the upkeep in between, but I need help the rest of the time... between working full time, being a mom, trying to take care of myself and our house and everything else, I just need a little help -- nothing wrong with that!

OMG. All of this sounds amazing! I wish working from home was an option for me.

I can really only do it once a week, but it is my lifejacket. Seriously, it is how I stay sane.

MKC12/22/2006 · November 2013

MIL watches DS 3 days a week, and we always bring DS to their house. Yesterday she came to ours since we were going to be gone all day and night and needed 3 different people to watch DS to cover all that. Well, she vacuumed the whole house, cleaned the bathrooms, and did all the dishes! I told DH we should ask her to watch DS at our house once a week for free maid service. :x

ehlerss · November 2013

@bibliophileemily @Sol1790 Once Upon a Time is my FAVORITE show!!! I love it! I think that the way they write the stories is so creative and so fun. That being said I am getting slightly annoyed with Neverland. Last weeks episode was really good and I was glad to have some of the show back in storybrook with other characters.

BellaBean76 · November 2013

I'm currently trying to eat my way out of a hangover. I have already eaten an egg & cheese, fruit, a pudding and I'm working on a chicken cutlet sandwich. Should not have had that second martini last night.

Oh girlfriend, you need to go straight to the trans-fats for that!

tondraluv · November 2013

I accidently got chocolate wasted last night (yes me). My husband & I went on a date and I had 2 1/2 glasses of wine. I could handle that no prob pre-baby but apparently not anymore. X_X I felt amazing when I woke up this morning though!

Kate_C · November 2013

I'm at a continuing legal ed seminar with a coworker and super annoyed that he kept talking to me in the break so I couldn't catch up on my bumping. Y'all have been busy!

I also feel really guilty that I want to quit pumping. I feel like I should keep things equal with my kids and pump until 10 months. But it's just too hard with work.

I was vacuuming upstairs last weekend while DH was watching the kids downstairs. I literally just left the vacuum on for 10 minutes while I sat in a chair by myself. I realllly need a break from the kids. I couldn't even go to the bathroom without my toddler following me. And then I feel guilty for wanting to be away from my kids. Mama can't win.

Her mother is a year YOUNGER than my husband. Does that help?

Why did we all hide our love for teen mom until the season was over? We could have been discussing it this whole time!! We at least need one for the reunion show!
