If it bugs you, dress her and yourself up in your same outfits and take a few pictures before you pack up the tree (or if you were somewhere else for Christmas, just pick a neutral background). Then, slide those pictures in with the rest and in a couple of years you won't even remember that they were taken on a different day!!

I get judgy when people name their kids after luxury cars or brands.

On a related note, whenever anyone tells me to [fill in the blank here] because they will only be this little for such a short time," I want to respond with a "thank, God!!"

But clearly that is not the societally-acceptable response....

Having a baby ruined my sex life. I have only O'd 3 times in 3 months. It is probably mostly me because i am srruggling with accepting my lady PP.
This isn't breaking news either but my relationship is so strained I just don't feel loved and SO is struggling too. I knew this wasn't going to be easy but damn

I still have hope and it's not always bad just very difficult and depressing. Stress is getting the best of us.

@kelle017 I do it all the time, but bc that's what is fun about being a kid. If we were to dress ourselves like that, we would be crazy, but they're allowed bc they're adorable.

When I worked as a nanny I let them wear what they wanted. One girl went through a bathing suit phas during the middle of winter but as long as we didn't go outside I didn't care.

I just think since I'm the one dressing her I should make an effort to coordinate.

DH got me a Mac book and adobe creative suite for Mac for Christmas. While it was an incredibly thoughtful gift (my design work has started to become more than just a hobby and he knows that this makes me really happy), I secretly wish he wouldn't have wasted the money since I already have a pretty good laptop and the software for PC. He was so excited to give it to me though that it would break his heart if I even proposed retuning it.

ksimo6 · December 2013

I told my mil that lo was "a little off" on Christmas so that I could continue to hold her. I can't stand my mil's perfume and didn't want my kid to stink of it all day. I'm not sorry.

H and I always get each other the same number of gifts for Christmas. So when he said he got me X amount I assumed he meant different ones not 1 gift that he split into 5 gifts. I was slightly upset. I know it's the thought that counts and I completely appreciate what he got me. Just wish everything would have been a little more even this year.

Oy Vey! No judging here. Pffffttt.

Me, too. I really wanted a photo of DH, LO & me by our tree. Never happened. Although, I suppose we could fake it.

This is the only one I have of us, and it was taken 10 minutes after we woke up.

My MIL has started getting on my nerves since LO was born. Every time she has DD, I want to snatch her back and tell her she's doing it wrong. She really isn't doing anything wrong, so I have no idea where this is coming from. I like MIL!

yep, me exactly

Oh and I have a cat stocking. That's probably a confession too.

@pandaglitter If it makes you feel any better, I have stockings for my cats and dogs... and my tortoise. I've never known what to put in the stocking for the tortoise, but it didn't seem right to leave him out since everyone else has one.

I have a friend with a tortoise with a stocking. Said tortoise was also featured on her Christmas card, wearing tiny angel wings. Awesome.

mine is pretty terrible. i won't be sad when DH's grandmother dies and deep down i think i am hoping for it to happen. she is 90 and in and out of a nursing home/rehab. and i just feel so sorry for my ILs they are spending all day driving around to see her and make sure she is getting proper care, and this grandmother is just getting so old and nasty. she told one of the pregnant nurses that cares for her "i am going to kick you in the stomach" 5 years ago when i first started dating DH she was a sweet woman but she is just so mixed up now and it is just taking such a toll on my ILs and my heart breaks for them. I have never seen FIL so down and it is bc of the situation he is dealing with his mother. ugh i can't believe i just typed these sentences....you can flame me.

Do we have the same grandma in law?? We're on an extremely similar situation (she had a stroke and she went from a sweet old lady to a very nasty person!). She told me to never have kids and that she regretting having them... all while her daughter (my MIL and her caretaker) was standing next to her. It's caused a lot of issues within the family.

That being said..No flaming from me. I hope things get better for you guys.

BrittanyCupcakes · December 2013

I was upset on Christmas because I didn't get any presents. Not that I'm a brat and wanted stuff, but we're spending the holidays with the ILs. They're a big family, and we went to three houses, and were there for presents at two of them. LO got gifts at both places. Nobody knows me, and I felt like I was just there to feed the baby. I just wanted to feel included. By the end of the night, DH could tell I was upset and I could tell he was thinking about going shopping for me the next day. I had to tell him not to buy me anything. It really wasn't the stuff that I cared about, and giving me trinkets a few days after Christmas can't make up for how I was feeling all day.

That's fantastic. Now I'm wondering how I can fashion some tiny angel wings so I can steal this idea next year.

Confession: I've been craving a beer since I woke up this morning, but we're out. LO is sleepy from his shots yesterday and couldn't justify packing him up just to pick up a six pack. Damn, Damn Damn.

Me too.
Me three... And I really wanted a family picture and we got nothing.

We didn't either. I have a blurry picture H took of me and her opening gifts and I took some better ones of him and her, but she was a hot mess at my sisters house and we left before getting one.

lereade · December 2013

My fffc is that I just totally bitched out a lady in the carpark for nearly t-boning me, she was texting and not paying any attention and I had LO in the car. I ripped her a new one for texting and nearly causing an accident with a child. Flame-worthy part: I know the woman. I felt it was necessary to bite into her because she has 4 kids under 14 years old. Her second youngest was killed 3 years ago when a lady went off the road and into their garden where he was. She was texting. He was 3, and his mom saw it happen. The woman goes around the country campaigning against texting and driving yet she does it herself all of the time. (Oh yeah, she works with DH at the bank and he sees her on the motorway all of the time texting and weaving, she nearly flipped on the entrance ramp from it.) After giving out about nearly hitting me, the last thing I asked was hadn't she seen enough damage from texting and driving? And walked away.

Kittymom6 · December 2013

I don't trust DH to take care of DD by himself for more than a few hours.

acethebase · December 2013

Ok I have one and its a pretty big one that I have been dreading confessing: Me and my "DH" aren't actually married, we actually just got engaged on Christmas Eve but have been together for 8 years. Now for the explanation..... I am only mobile and wasn't quite sure of the exact abbreviation of DH so I assumed it meant significant other and so on. It wasn't until a couple of months ago I hopped on my laptop to see what they all meant and realized it meant "Darling Husband." Sorry ladies for the lies but I just had to get that off my chest. I will now refer to him as fiancé, now what is the abbreviation of that?........::face::palm:: and here's a GIF: ( forgive me for my ignorance!)

No flames here sister. They should euthanize people just like animals for their own good. Do you think this previously sweet old lady wants to be threatening pregnant women, and have people remember her as a crazy bitch? Nope. She does not.

allymp13 · December 2013

I can't stand my 6 yr old nephew (bil's kid). He is such a jerk (cue home alone gif) when I see him at family gatherings I'm just like ugh, you again.

He's always hitting all the kids and adults. At Christmas he kept getting into all the other kids presents and throwing them all over the place. He was running around screaming when all the other kids were napping. He locked his 3 year old brother in the closet and in the process also pinched his finger in the door. I definitely don't trust him around DS bc I swear this kid has a touch if serial killer in him.

Also, I do all the Xmas shopping for the kids and I always just pick whatever for him bc I honestly don't care if he likes it it not. This year I felt a little guilty and got him a really cool gift. 5 mins around him I totally regretted that.

at first i was like OMG! is she talking about me?!?!? but then i was like nahhhhh i am the best mom eva. brb - just gonna go feed my baby steak and let her play with knives, she is acting up again i HATE that hopefully she will CIO soon. I'll just leave her on my bed with some pillows for a little

ashleymarie512 · December 2013

Mine is that I talk up all the family gathering activities we do with my family in front of MIL. She was never around when DH was young (super involved in her church and out saving the world) and DH has no interest in spending lots of time with them. They always just gave DH money instead of quality time and I think he harbors some resentment about it. He tells stories about riding his bike to the grocery store to get food (only a few blocks) because she was always gone. FIL wasn't any better. It makes me mad when DH tells me stories from his childhood and I like to rub it in her face that DH likes spending time with my family better than his.

i was planning on leaving work and go out to lunch with DH and drink pretty heavily and come back to work.....sick dog put a wrinkle into those plans. damn kids.

Id like to share this giant beer with you all. It was 5$. Yes that's my child. My FI is driving, no worries

babyLOLO13 · December 2013

DH came home and is watching LO. So I went to store to fix my beer craving. Parked at home, sitting in car having a beer alone, enjoying sweet serenity for the past 15 mins, and bumping.

Lee81 · December 2013

We're doing Christmas with DH's family tomorrow. We got chocolates from a realllly awesome candy shop for the kids who will be there but realized we forgot one child. I'm supposed to be going back to get something for the kid we forgot. DD is in the middle of a really epic nap and I don't want to wake her. Chocolate shop closes soon. I'm debating letting her sleep, getting lesser chocolate for all the kids at the grocery store, and keeping the good stuff for myself. They're kids. Any chocolate is good chocolate, right??
