I'm am currently letting DS create a tornado...he's squishing snacks on the floor, getting pots out of drawers, throwing blankets off the couch etc. I am letting him do this while baby is in the swing and I'm on my phone online shopping for ME!

DH has been gone on a 4 day business trip and is due home around 2pm (4hrs!...not that I'm counting down or anything). I have no intention of cleaning up this mess and am saving it for him for when he gets home and I disappear upstairs. I give no fucks

My FFFC is that I read this whole thread to make myself feel better about my DH and ILs. I won the fucking lottery it seems compared to some of y'all. I would cry every day if I had to deal with what some of you do...lord.

...yup. My ILs are pretty awesome (aside from the clutter they bring when they visit). In fact, my FIL is trying to figure out if he can come stay with us (in FL from OH...) for over two months when I go back to work at the beginning if April so we don't have to worry about childcare until the next school year. And DH is my calm in the storm most days!

I really enjoyed that glass of wine I had and I gave no care in the world that hubby had the baby for 5 hours while I took a very long and needed nap....

I do that with the dishes downstairs, I do so much around here now I save that for him. I say "if you want dinner tonight you should get started on those dishes"

Although I'm exhausted, I feel like taking care of the baby is so much easier than taking care of my four year old. Granted, DS2 is a pretty easy baby and I'm mostly focused on the immediate needs like feeding, changing, and cuddling.

Parenting a toddler is so much harder, in my opinion. He has so many emotions and questions everything. I feel like everything I say and do "counts" and is noted. One wrong move and the evening or morning goes downhill. I love him so much, but he has really been trying my patience and testing every single boundary. We've been working so hard these last four weeks to keep a positive, supportive environment for him as we work through settling in as a four-person family. It seems to be working, but it's so exhausting. I'm more tired by some of that than by being awake all hours of the night...

I usually have a hard time getting on board with the IL hate. Partially because my ILs are very nice and my MIL issues are seriously minimal. BIL and SIL are very close. We vacation together all the time.

But I also always try to think of the MIL's side. I have 2 boys and will be the MIL someday. If it helps, I make some mental notes of common gripes so I have a better relationship with my future DILs.

@MissyC979 I could have written that.

Word for every flipping word.

I really wish my 16 yr old step daughter would grow up a little bit! She has an impossible time getting herself up in the mornings. Because of that she has now missed the bus. Now, instead of getting rest after a sleepless night, I have to drive 34 miles to her school and back. How does she expect to get herself up and off to college when the time comes? We won't be in her dorm room!
Do you end up driving her a lot? Start charging gas money, she might get up on time
Yes, quite a bit! I charge her $5 per trip... Hasn't helped. :'(
Wow. Well I got nothin then. I'm glad I have 13 years to figure that stuff out. Not that I expect to have answers by then lol

Yeah, part of the issue is that her lazy mom had the first ten years to influence her. No rules, no responsibilities, and mom was lazy and on drugs. We've had the last six years, but it's hard to undo the bad habits she was taught.

DS is getting baby pimples and I don't like it. I know it is life. But I guess I'm too vain.

My LO is covered in them, her entire face and a bit on her chest and back. I'm so impatient with them clearing up. It drives me nuts and I feel so bad for her.

I'm annoyed I have to cut out dairy to see if it will help with DDs reflux. I want my cheese and frozen yogurt and flavored coffee creamers.

I'm doing the same and the So Delicious coconut milk creamers (they want me avoiding soy too) aren't too bad.

serend · January 2014

DH went back to work Monday and I volunteered to do all of the night feedings this week to see how that would work out. Plus MIL is in staying with us until Sunday. She's nice, but kind of clueless and hovers a lot. I plan on having DH take any feedings before 5am tonight so I can have a glass or 3 of wine and some sleep.

DH got a raise yesterday that now means he makes more than I do. When he was telling me last night all I could think was I'm soooo happy because this beings me even closer to getting to be a SAHM one day!!! I'm pretty sure he knew exactly where my thoughts went lol

Whitterpow · January 2014

Now my FFFC is that I originally posted this on August forgetting that I went there from the post talking about the drama. This is what happens when I get tired... Here it is though!

I recently went three days without showering. Whoops.

Also, I just discovered coconut oil and my husband makes fun of me because I've started using it on everything - nipples, lips, baby's head, as a moisturizer (hands, face, feet - you name it). The biggest confession of this is that one of the uses is that it can be used as deodorant and I tried it. I wouldn't recommend it for this purpose, but the rest of them are amazing.

Chichigo · January 2014

I hope to comeup with a good excuse to delay sex after the 6 weeks are up. I get all stabby every time my husband even hints at it-and its 2 weeks to go.

Here is mine and I know it is silly. I feel a little hurt that some of my friends have not sent a card or gift for my baby. I know gifts are voluntary. I think it bothers me because they know about my infertility and miscarriages and Aaron's health issues. I guess I just want a little celebratory acknowledgment. I know this is silly.

I sort of feel the same. DD1 has like a million "Welcome Baby Girl" cards for her baby book and DD2 literally has 2!! Granted, I didn't have a shower with this baby and I know that's how DD1 got so many cards. But it just ISN'T FAIR!!!! *stomps feet like a toddler and throws myself on the floor crying*

I have all my thank yous still left to do. Including from our baby shower. It was only a few weeks before DD was born, but still.

I also still need to arrange childcare for DD for when I go back to work at the end of the month. My poor excuse for this is that DH insists we use MIL and my mom to save money, which I am all for, but he has yet to solidify with MIL the arrangements. I have arranged with my mom when she can watch DD forever ago! Come on, DH. I am already exhausted and am terrified of what life will be like when I go back to work.

I have never had any big beef with my ILs but for some reason, the minute DD was born, they have really annoyed me (particularly MIL) all the time. I have since been having second thoughts about DD's middle name being the same as MIL's, even though I was the one who originally suggested it. Every thing she does gets on my nerves. I feel bad because I should be happy she loves DD so much, and I dread seeing her (which has only been three or four times since coming home from the hospital), and she doesn't really do anything to really complain about it. I just wish I wasn't so annoyed with her but for some reason I am and I don't want to be.

Today was the first time I shaved my legs since being induced... A month ago. So bad, but showering with 2 kids is hard!
