I think rain galoshes are stupid. I see them all over the place on campus and think wtf,are you like walking through 2 feet of water? It's drizzling, seriously.

I have this opinion normally as well... although looking down at my soaked jeans bc my pants touch the ground is starting to make me reconsider....

I love my rain boots! Are those the same thing as galoshes? I wear them in the rain and the snow. I also commute to work on public transportation. I park my car at the legit end of the world where the ocean meets the bay and it's hellish everyonce in a while with the weather (I commute by ferry)- literally sat in my car last week and watched ocean water whip across the parking lot by the gallons at an alarming speed. So they are totally a must have for me. Plus I think the Hunter rainboots look cute!

That's totally different. I'm in Alabama nowhere near the ocean. The asphalt is barely wet.

I haven't cleaned the litter box since my bfp. So about a year now. Sorry DH!

I'd much rather deal with a poopsplosion than clean the litter. Plus, the box is in the basement and basements are scary. ::insert Home Alone gif::

Totally want a pair of Hunters. Unfortunately H doesn't think spending $200 on rubber boots is reasonable. While he's completely right and I fully acknowledge I want them purely based on label whore mentality....I don't care!

I hid all the tea in the house on FIL because he wouldn't hesitate to use the last one and not replace it. He found it and used 6 bags in 2 days.. I wrote my name on the bag and put it somewhere else. Shame I have to hide my own shit on him.. But man, he's so selfish.

I'm afraid to go back to work.

Well I actually have to find a job first as my previous one let me go when they found out I was pregnant, but that's another story.

I don't want to only see him a few hours a day, or stress out getting us both ready in the morning for work/daycare. But we could really use the money as I make more than H... I've told him I'm going to start applying for jobs soon, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

I understand wanting more sleep, I really do but didn't you know babies wake up in the middle of the night before you had one?
I don't usually "side eye" people but right now I totally am.

I have a rooster themed kitchen. Well, I hate to say "theme" because it's really just a few porcelain roosters and a framed "rooster art" piece. But in pretty sure this makes me a 55 year old in the body of a 31 year old.

When I first read this, I pictured a kitchen themed after @RoosterMemphis ... tattoos, cool hair, etc.

Kick his butt out ALREADY! I don't know how in the world you have put up with that man as long as you have. You must be a saint in training.

kwrecks · December 2013

I still get a bit anxious bringing LO out. NIP isn't easy for us, almost impossible actually, and using any of my small freezer stash worries me because it takes me a couple days of pumping to get one 4oz bag to freeze(I currently only pump in the morning, and am working my way up, I pumped every feeding for 2 days and LO became so fussy every time she ate). I have to nurse LO up until the moment we are ready to walk out of the house, and I try not to be gone longer than an hour and a half or so.

I don't really have many IRL friends. I haven't made friends since high school. They're all big partiers so I don't really fit in. I'm not sure how people make friends. I had a few at cosmetology school, but those didn't last. I really just want to have a best friend. I let it bother me more than it should. I'll just be reading quietly... Alone. Haha.

I hear ya! I moved to my current town almost 8 years ago. I've only made casual friends since moving here. My "best" friends still live back in my home area, which is 200 miles away. DH moved here in 2008 and hasn't really made any friends out side of casual work acquaintances either. We really need more couple friends. But, we're older to be first time parents. So, ones who are about the same age and have common educations and interests, have much older kids. The ones who have babies, are still in their 20s, uneducated, have never left this Podunk area, and still like to party.
So, we just stick to our selves and usually vacation with our "real" friends.

I just realized I kind of sound like a snob here. No offense meant to the younger moms. I'm sure you all probably have your Sh*t together. The ones I've met around here, don't.

*sigh* it's been 4 months. It's draining. I always voice my opinion or H will bring something up if I feel it's not my place.. It's sort of like I've just given up. I swear he's only down here to get away from BSC mil. I keep being told things are going to change (by EVERYONE).. And people are interested in their houses back in England which means FIL will quit if they sell.. But then nothing happens. The other night me and H ordered pizza and FIL wanted somethjg cooked, H told him to have what he wanted and we would have pizza. Well FIL's reply was "but that's not fair, what am I suppose to do for dinner tomorrow".. H said "you'll figure it out". Why the fuck should I care?! He's a big boy, figure it out. I'm 25 years old, a mother of 2 and I feel like I'm the mother of a 50 year old as well. I clean up after everyone, cook, you name it. I snapped last night and made him do dishes and cook and old H and FIL (mainly FIL) I'm no ones maid except my children's so CLEAN UP.

Oh gosh, sorry. This probably isn't the right thread.. Had to bitch though.

Marvel1013 · December 2013

@suchgreatheights324 I'm with you. I don't have many friends. I did throughout high school, had my select good friends I was always with.. Then we all grew apart. I had a best friend who I've known for 6 years and she's really then only person I consider a friend. If I want to go shopping or to the store, to the movies.. I'll either call her or hang out with my mom. I stick mainly to y family.

Im still upset with bf for not understanding why im upset about another girl saying she loves him on his facebook.

This girl and i dont like each other, shes consistantly making bitchy underhandes comments to me and i dont like how she clings to bf. I now understand why bfs bm told me when i met her this girl would make problems between me and bf
I think it's hilarious when girls flirt with MH or say things like that to him. Don't you feel bad for her?

First things first, @mommyames2 I heart you so hard.

I'm so glad my H doesn't have a fb. It illuminates any childish antics.

And I love it when other girls (and even guys) hit on my hubby. I work with a lot of gay guys and they have no issues with telling me how fine he is. I married a really good looking guy, what can I say? And he's all mine!

BellaOso · December 2013

1.) I have a great milk supply and loaded freezer stash, (like 500ish ounces or more) I feel weirdly guilty when I read about girls on TB having supply issues and sometimes it makes me go look at my freezer stash to make sure it really is there.

2.) We are going through a cold snap here in NorCal and DD1 doesn't want to stay clothed (she is a sparkler) when we are home the last 2 days... so I turned the heat up. Sometimes I don't want to get dressed either.

3.) Sometimes I use how the girls wake up to determine what the day is going to be like. Example: Both girls woke up smiling and happy? Perfect day for an outing! Run errands, go to the city zoo with grandpa, etc. One happy, one sad? Maybe just the necessary errands like groceries, pharmacy, appointments. Two sads? Only must do appointments and pajamas all around. LOL! I know it is stupid and not a hard and fast thing, but whateves. I do what I want.

BellaOso · December 2013

One other thing. I'm so worried something bad will happen and we won't be able to go on our family vacation to Kauai in February that I haven't told anyone IRL that we are going.

Wow, way to be a judgmental jerk. Deciding to have a baby doesn't mean you give up all rights to frustration over not getting sleep. It just means that you accept that it's part of having a kid, and you do what you have to do for the baby. However, being frustrated about it is totally normal and acceptable.

Aww thanks for the name calling, I appreciate that. Obviously everyone gets frustrated but wishing you didn't decide to have kids because of it is a little extreme.

Actually no it isn't. Just throwing that out there. There are a lot of feelings moms don't share because they are afraid of being judged. Like you are doing right now.

I sometimes laugh at DD when she's trying to roll over and isn't successful. It cracks me up to see her straining on her side trying to finish her roll. Obviously if she starts fussing I help her finish her roll.

RoosterMemphis · December 2013

Thoughts dont get you in trouble. Actions do. If I reacted based on my thoughts, id never get anything done or I'd be in prison somewhere. We are human. No ones perfect. Kkramer have a little empathy, you have horrible thoughts too. And if you say you don't, you are completely full of shit.

Kkramer, it's not my opinion it's a fact. Freaking google it. You know how many moms vent their frustrations on Internet forums similar to this one because they are hidden behind a computer screen and no one is going to judge them face to face. So you say you have never had those moments, great for you. Those that do are freakin human and it doesn't make them a bad parent or extreme.

Related Confession: DH is a big flirt. He has "chatted up" restaurant servers and co-workers since I met him. For some reason, this has never bothered me. It's just his personality and I'm 100% confident that he's not going anywhere. TBH, it kind of gets me going.

Also, he lived in London for over a decade and his style causes a lot of men to hit on him too--especially when we lived in the "gay-borhood" of our city.
