This is terrible but sometimes I feel like DS is just "mine" ....yeah, DH was there to create him but I was the one who was miserably pregnant, my body was wrecked birthing him, I'm doing all of the feeding and almost all of the care ....
To be clear, I don't WANT to feel this way. I'm encouraging DH to be more involved. Going back to work might help.
I felt this way until I went back to work and my fiancé took three weeks off to watch the baby. Now there's times when he tells me what to do lol.
Oh and I have a cat stocking. That's probably a confession too.
Both my cats have handmade stockings too... Probably took me at least 60 hours a piece to make. They are part of the family tho and I don't care who makes fun of me!
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.
Just echoing the others .... no flames for this. I work in a retirement community and it sucks when people start to deteriorate. Its brutally hard to see them be awful and to have to make yourself remember that they aren't doing it on purpose...

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.
thanks, i just feel horrible wishing death on someone. all the cousins are like lets do everything to keep her alive, we can't live without her! and im all like "meh let her go, the sooner the better" i feel like if i were on the outside i would tell myself what you guys r, but actually thinking it i feel like a real douche. oh well i will just drink away my troubles tonight
You can logically know that its time for her to go but emotionally feel sad that this is reality ... its not douchy
My FFFC: Today was a Sesame Street/Blues Clues/Bubble Guppy day for DD. We got home at midnight and she was SOOOOOO good for the entire 7 hour ride. Today she can do anything she wants... All DS wants to do is nurse and nap, fair deal.
So I made LO leggings out of adult knee highs... You cut off the foot section, so I have 12 pairs of "socks". I shove them in my bra after pumping to absorb any moisture/excess milk, and often forget that they're there because I always have something to do...
I walked into the gas station and only when I walked away from the register did I notice a bright baby blue sock peeping out of my v-neck .... I'm already DD, so stuffing isn't practical over here lol
We didn't get pictures taken this year with Santa. I hate the mall and all the bipity kids that go there. So DH really tried to get me to go to Cabelas to see Santa, but I didn't want to stand in line forever nor did I want to walk around the store dragging 4 kids with me while he looked at everything he wants but can't afford....so I faked a headache.
I told DH to get me clothes for Christmas which he was nervous about because he is not a stylish kind of guy. He got me two sweaters. Neither are really my style, but I love them because he worked so hard picking them out with LO and even described the whole process of describing me to the salesperson so he would get the right size. I wore one of them yesterday and his eyes lit up and said I looked beautiful. Definitely worth keeping them and not saying a word!
My second confession is I know I am going to get KU again even though I rather wait. The mini pill is not working for me and I can't get an IUD due to past medical issues. The only thing that would work for me is the regular BC pill, but that would mess with my milk for BFing so we are going the condom route. We have already forgot to use them once because we haven't used them in years. I am doomed! (and stupid I know, flame away))
Just because you asked for flames...
You know what else messes with milk supply (and a general sense of sanity)?
I have a mutual FB friend of one of the regs on here so I occasionally stalk her page and even though she acts like quite the perfect little sanctimommy on here she frequently breaks "the rules" and AWs it on FB.
OUT WITH IT!
I'm not ready to lose my entertainment! Besides, I think you might know who I am talking about.
------------- Ok maybe sanctimommy wasn't the right word... Don't get your hopes too high!
I'll do a callout when people are actually here, I feel like everyone is still away for Christmas.
So it's not sooner?
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that NRyan doesn't necessarily think I am a sanctimommy. I don't make all my own baby food from scratch. I don't rail against "poison formula." I don't claim to be the only person in the world who knows how to handle my delicate snowflakes' needs so I cant ever leave the house without them. I don't cloth diaper. I don't do four hours of "enrichment activities" with my 2 week old per day. Etc.
I just try to make rational parenting decisions that are backed up by the scientific process whenever possible. Not exactly the stuff of sanctimommy legend...

--------- I love how verbose your reply was #classicsooner
I would hate to disappoint my audience
Guess I could have just said, "oh no you didn't, bitch!" But that might not have gone over so well...
Huntjul? The girl who drove her scooter well into the third trimester because she believed that the worst thing that could happen if she crashed was she would go into pre-term labor? Who leaves her baby home alone to go to parties with her husband?

Do we have different definitions of sanctimommy?
Could I get a definition? I have no clue what we are talking about here.
Quick! Pull out the post it's! Who here admitted to feeding rice cereal already? I betcha it's one of them!
Or would it be someone who posts on here about "no solids for my kids until they can go out into the forest and kill, field dress, and grill their own meat," but admits on FB to dosing her kid with rice cereal bottles every night?
CV??? I love CV, but she is a hot mess who is lost in the world of DS1 and DS2 right now. She is a normal struggler like most of us. We need to guess people who seem to have a baby who poops rainbows and STTN.
I'm 99.9999997% positive the CV assumption was a joke.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sanctimommy
A parent who is overly devoted, micromanaging the lives of their children, from the food they ingest to the activities they participate in. Sanctimommies look down their noses at those who are more liberal in their parenting approach.
I know it is not me. I AW on here, not just on facebook, my thong fell on my preteen nephew's face, and my daughter has a bow covering her eyes. I am guessing @Gwyneddlesliegrace. She is crunchy. I could be way off though.
@missgpsu crunchy =/= sanctimommy. and Gwyn is deft not a poster who talks about what a perfect mother she is.
I didn't have the definition at that time. I was going the crunchy route at that time. I am not a new path now.
This made me lol. I totes hope that no one here thinks I am a "perfect" mother. Actually, I am a constant failure and am learning like everyone else.

I have an fffc. When making all dolls for Christmas, I ripped up stuffed animals and used to the batting from them. Hey, it's recycling, right? (Don't worry, I washed them first.)

I went and got Delaney's ears pierced today. The lady who pierced her ears did a really great job with her.

Pregnancy...with Irish twins as an end result.

That reveal was a let down.
If it somehow did turn out to be my dh, um well I'd be shocked and well I'm not sure what I'd do.
