Here we go! So as some of you may know, my H has been out of town all week. He came back last night very late (after there were plane problems, he missed his connecting flight, yada yada). My in-laws are watching Rhys today so they came into town last night around 8 PM. I went to bed at 9 because I couldn't wait up for DH.

Long story short, he rolls in at midnight and is talking to his parents REALLY loudly, like pretty much shouting. He's excited and probably had a couple drinks at the airport. Anyway, it woke me up and immediately I'm thinking oh no, it's going to wake the baby. Bear in mind, since I have the magic boobs, if the baby wakes up, guess who gets to get him back to sleep? Me. Every time. And also bear in mind that I'm a teacher and I wake up at 4 AM. And finally, bear in mind that I was still half asleep.

So I literally sprinted to the top of the stairs and angry shout-whispered, "Shut the fuck up!"

Ughh. I woke up this morning and was like oops, did I really tell my H to STFU right in front of his parents? As if they don't hate me enough already...

JSS1002 · January 2014

Aw, do they really hate you? I hope not.

Also, he messed with your sleep! I think that is justified!

I don't think they HATE me exactly, but I do think they disapprove of some of what I do. I don't think I would be their first pick for their precious son... but to their credit, they are always friendly and try to get along with me. Once we were at the beach with them and my H hit me in the face with a nerf football and then laughed. I called him an asshole, and later his mom sat down and had a "talk" with him about how worried she was about "the way I treat him." Which pissed me off! But now that we're married, they by and large stay out of it. I'm just sure that they talk about me behind my back!

I swear I really am a good wife though! I just have a foul mouth!

Me too! But I'm not ready yet either.......my confession is that aside from the benefits for baby, I was really adamant on bf'ing for selfish reasons. In California, if a baby is breastfeed they can't stay overnight with dad until they are 1 years old. I was thinking divorce & visitation rights at the time.

Aprilbaby49 · January 2014

I second @clgsquared. I am so happy for you ladies but wish I was pregnant too. Can't wait till April to start trying again

Preach it, sister. I talk like a trucker. That actually might be offensive to truckers. ;-)

DH works swing. And I eat a bunch of snacks (ice cream nutty bars m&ms etc) in the evenings.
For some reason I'm starting to feel guilty...

I confess that I also think I'm nuts. But mostly I think I'm OLD, and just want to be done having babies (we are 2 and done), well before I turn 40!

I have a doozy today. I think of Fin's first birthday as more of a celebration for me and DH, like 'we made it through the first year, no one killed anybody, we're still married and like each other at least half the time, winnnnning'. Im inviting some close friends over, requesting NO PRESENTS (because he needs nothing and I dont want more crap in my house) and generally patting myself on the back for making it this far <:-P

My confession: I am definitely NOT requesting "no presents", mainly because I am hoping that he will get more cute clothes! If we get excessive toys, I figure I can always donate some to a good cause :-) Of course, if people don't bring presents, I'm 100% fine with that... we're just not saying anything about them either way. (Obviously... not like we would write "Please bring presents! on the invite).

This will totally get me flamed, esp bc of yesterday's post:

We live in a really small community (like, we know every person/family who lives here) that is set away from the town and other housing (hard to explain). The sitter lives a block away. If we drive to her house bc of weather or whatnot I let DS (3 in April) ride IN THE FRONT SEAT. No seatbelt, no car seat.

At all other times he rides rear facing in a properly installed car seat, but every once in a while I let him ride the 30 seconds to the sitter's unrestrained.

All I can say about this is that the one time something happens, you will never be able to forgive yourself.

Here here! I try so hard in front of our son but I have a feeling fuck is going to be one of his first words. And no one likes a cursing baby!

People will just say he's cheeky and precocious. Haha

BellaBean76 · January 2014

Sometimes when I shower at the gym I pee in the shower rather than take the time to use the toilet first. Daycare closes at one and I'm always pushing it!

lpowell333 · January 2014

Mine is that LO had one of her overtired, didn't want to take a nap all evening last night day and it sucked. I don't know why but I can't handle her when she's like that. I usually don't have a temper and are pretty laid back, but when she is clearly indesparate need of a nap and fights it until it's bed time, I get REALLY grouchy. It doesn't help that my husband works nights so he's asleep in the evenings before work so it's just me and my 10 year old. I feel guilty when I finally get her to bed and realized that I was being so grouchy/mean at a baby that doesn't know any better. I blame hormones and stress, but it's still not an excuse.....TGIF and a 3 day weekend to boot!

What OSC said. Also, I grew up on a farm way out in the country. Very little traffic, we rode in the back of the pickup truck regularly, etc. There were two long, main driveways to our property. One was to the house and the other was to the barn. You were on the road for about 200 yards and that was it. 10 seconds. Well, once when my brother was 17, he was driving his truck from one drive to the other. He never got above 10 miles an hour. As he was slowing to turn into the driveway he got hit from behind by someone who had been cruising along and didn't see him to slow down in time. Totaled his truck and caused him quite a few injuries. He was a teenager and buckled. I can't imagine how an unbuckled toddler would fair in an accident like that.

My point is that shit happens in 30 seconds. I could NEVER forgive myself if something happened to my child because of something completely avoidable like that.

ETA: When I read stuff like this, I always wonder what sort of example this is setting for the child. Oh, you can do something dangerous/illegal/etc. if you only do it for 30 seconds at a time? Only when mom's around? Where's the line?

Erin10408 · January 2014

Im outside the lactation room at work ans having a really loud conversation with a co-worker, peppered with " Yeah, I've been waiting awhile" and "accidently" bumping the wall because the girl in there now has been in there for 40 minutes. Not only did she come along after me and start sneaking in at my normal pumping time....she takes FOREVER. I feel like a bitch, but seriously X(

My confession is that my office is closed Monday for MLK day, and I still plan on taking Jules to daycare. I am beyond excited about it. My husband still has to work so I have the whole day to myself. And I have been counting the days since they released our holiday calendar for the year.

Hell yeah you are. I took LO on Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, and almost every Friday when I work from home. It was actually really nice to have Christmas Eve to ourselves to shop together, wrap presents, prepare the house, etc. And Fridays when I normally WFH... OMG, I have the hwole house to myself ALL DAY and it is heaven. No kid, no husband... just me and the TV and my laptop.

This is my justification for like 90% of my choices during pregnancy and parenthood: "it's probably fine, but if it isn't, I'd never EVER forgive myself."

Kate_C · January 2014

I have had a shittastic week at work (like a whole bunch of worst nightmare kind of scenarios have come true for me all at once). I sent a text to a coworker about it that included "fml." He thought it meant "f me long" rather than "f my life." I was mortified when he asked me about it and had to consult my urban dictionary to ensure I wasn't the old moron trying to use text speak inappropriately. Nope, he's the out of touch one.

On a more serious note, I'm having some serous anxiety/depression issues as a result of said shittastic week and my child waking up every 90 minutes for the last week. The thought of trying to find time to start counseling is giving me more anxiety. FML.

It would be fiscally irresponsible to waste that money and not send them.

This entire mentality is making me very sad right now, actually, because I definitely did NOT eat enough raw variety sushi in between pregnancies!

@lpowell333 Don't feel bad... I am the same way. I have a very hard time dealing with the baby when he gets super fussy for an extended period of time. I actually posted a video of him being completely whiney and fussy to the facebook group when I was at my wit's end, and they just said, "That's nothing! That's not so bad!" So I don't know why it drives me crazy... but it does! I would rather him just scream it out for a few minutes and get over it than whine for hours.

Also, I have never peed in the shower either, and I think it's disgusting. I have forbidden DH from peeing in the shower as well, but I'm 95% sure he does it anyway. At least I don't know about it. Now that baby is in the picture, however, our tub probably gets peed in a lot!

JSS1002 · January 2014

I feel like my pants already don't fit this pregnancy. Obvs I'm not "showing" but I just feel bloated and like my fave jeans aren't buttoning. So today, I paired them with a huge oversized fleecy sweater from Target (it is casual Friday - the only day I can wear jeans to work!), which was on my closet floor. All morning I've been trying to figure out what "that smell" is that is just sort of around me... not a bad smell, just something... familiar...

I JUST realized that I put this sweater on last Friday after a 90 minute massage, and the aroma is the ultra moisturizing lotion that she used, which is still in the sweater, because it's been balled up on my floor for a week solid.

Nice.

I confess I am really pushing my DH to let me enroll DS in preschool because I need a break from him! I feel guilty being a SAHM and sending my kid to preschool though (he just turned 3). I know he can definitely benefit from the socialization so it's not all about me. I also feel guilty about putting the money down to do this just so I can get a break and not go bat shit crazy.

I am so wound up today. I have an all day wedding dress shopping trip with friends and her family tomorrow. An aunt that we haven't even met yet had her tell us to look nice, wear nice clothes, no piercings or tattoos showing because she thinks most of her friends are "weird". I am so not going to put up with this shit. I'm not a confrontational person but I'm getting really tired of this crap. Not much of a confession but I needed to vent.

My friend got married 5 weeks after Eli was born. I was the maid of honor. It really pissed me off that she planned the wedding that close to my due date. She is now pregnant and has honestly been kind of the worst friend in the world over the past year (we've have a really difficult year and she has been completely non-existent through it).........We are planning a longer trip to go back to the midwest to visit DH's family in the spring, and I'm pretty sure I am going to intentionally plan our trip for when she is due. I know it's stupid and petty, but I want her to know that her due date means as much to me as mine did to her.

This probably made your shitastic week worse because now you feel like you have an internet stalker. But I promise I'm not! I was a pretty kickass paralegal before I had kids and I think you sound fun! Who wouldn't want a boss that knows how to use FML in an email/text! Sorry things are so crappy right now.

Thanks. I'm flattered to have an internet stalker, especially one as kickass as you.

I promise I don't use text speak with anyone other than one coworker who is more like a brother I don't want than a professional associate.

I honestly thought everyone peed in the shower. It's the environmentally responsible thing to do. Getting out means that the shower will be on with no one in it and you're wasting water flushing the toilet. I use that as justification, but I don't care if I'm a pig honestly.
