My heart is heavy so I'll just sit back & watch since last week was so eventful. Any takers?

pinottoparenthood · January 2014

Here goes nothing: I confess that I don't wash my hands after I pee unless I actually get pee on my hands. Or sometimes if someone else is standing right there in the bathroom and I don't want to be judged. I know, I know... I'm gross! Flame away!

And no, I do not work with @tondraluv (as far as I know)!

What's wrong, sweetie??

I am horrible about washing our sheets/ duvet cover. It is such a giant PITA. I know I should do it every week,but it probably more like every month. Gross. I'm grossed out by myself.

i got really mad at Rylee last night. Her sleeping pattern is getting worse. Not sure if she is teething or what but I cant deal with the lack of sleep. Last night i lost it and i kind of yelled at her a bit

i feel horrible thinking about it but i was half asleep and my mind was not functioning well. I really hope she passes this phase soon cause momma needs her rest.

JBDamonM · January 2014

@lilbit0910 - I did the SAME thing two nights ago and I Felt horrible all day yesterday

@tondraluv - I hope everything is ok

@jss1002 - I am also AWFUL about washing the duvet.... I am gross as well

Mine - I am astounded at the number of moms on this board still breastfeeding. This is not a bad thing, I just can't even imagine putting LO to my boob to eat anymore (I stopped at 6 months)..... or just bringing my pump to work.... Kudos to you all for sticking with it - for me it's just like a different world.

I considered selling my son on the black market this week - just kidding! ( sort of) No, my real confession is that I'm not really concerned about privacy issues. I can't fathom why anyone would want to go to any effort to find me based on my internet postings and I honestly don't care if the government wants to listen to my phone calls or read my email or texts.

Me either! Some people get so fired up about this. I could care less. If it helps them find terrorists or whatever then they can have at it. It doesn't hurt me in any way.

I could care less too. I don't have anything interesting happening in my life..so snoop away.

Why?

Honestly, the doorknobs getting out of the bathroom and out of the teacher workroom are probably so dirty that washing my hands seems pointless. I didn't get anything on them. And I sprint to the bathroom between class changes so I don't have a lot of time. I guess I just don't feel like my hands are that dirty. Or they are, but it's from being a teacher, not from using the restroom. And now in the winter, it makes my hands dry to wash them too much... and I already have to wash/sanitize them every time I pump.

I couldn't care less about this either. If you want to learn all about my baby's poop habits, my complaints about my husband, my thoughts on the last episode of Sister Wives, my bitching about my job, and all the bills I pay, knock yourself out.

I do understand the theory behind the concern though --that it is a slippery slope and what are they going to monitor next..

I just don't really care. Can't care. Too much other stuff to worry about.

Agh - wash your hands, women! You're grossing me out over here!

I wash my hands mostly to get everyone else's nasty bathroom germs off of them! I open the door with my shirt on my way out. I get sick enough working at a K-12 school.

My confession: I am already planning a mental health day for next week. I've directed a play the entire month, getting up at 5:30 a.m. for practices, and tomorrow I have to get up at 4:30 a.m, ride a bus for four hours total, and spend 14 hours with my students. I love them, but come on. I also have horrible back cramps, (but no period, what's up with that?) so I feel more justified in staying home for a day. Oh, and DS will definitely be going to daycare.

I'm sitting on my sofa in yoga pants, no bra, just ate a Totino's party pizza, LO is at daycare, DH is at work, and I've got two laptops, my phone, and an iPad open in front of me, and I'm watching ExtremeCouponing.

My PLAN? Get J off to daycare, grocery shop, errands, hit the gym, get nails done, fix a nice dinner. Um, no.

GO FOR IT.

minerswife17 · January 2014

I confess, I cried watching Sundays episode of KUWTK. Watching Khloe walk into her home and just looking so numb. And then, them showing the clips of when Khloe and Lamar were all in love and so romantic and the spark was there. I couldn't help it but shed a few tears. I can't imagine.

My confession is somewhat related to this. I'm still breastfeeding, but started taking Domperidone around 6 months when my supply nose-dived out of nowhere. It's expensive, and you have to order it from overseas. My husband was skeptical, and said "Ok, you can buy it ONCE, and if things don't work out after that's gone, then just let nature take it's course".

I ran out of the Dom last week. And my supply tanked. And I ordered more, even though my daughter is almost 9 months old, I plan on weaning at 12 months, and I have a shit ton of milk in the deep freeze. WHY AM I SUCH A FREAK ABOUT THIS.

For the record, my husband does not usually monitor my purchases, or care what I buy. We even have seperate accounts.But I ran this purchase by him since it involved our daughter. And now I'm the sneaky B crossing my fingers that it's delivered to my house on a day he's not there.

It has to do with invading the Bill of Rights concerning privacy. If you allow them to infringe one, why not the other? To me, I think that we give too much to our government and get no results, people have become too apathetic.

My confession is that unless we are going somewhere, he is getting a bath, or got really dirty from eating.. I don't change him out of his pajamas.

I am the same way! I don't have a ton of milk in the freezer, only 50 oz, but I am completely freaked out about stopping breastfeeding. It makes me so sad and anxious. I still go out of my way to pump extra milk every day to put in the freezer, even though I honestly don't need to build my freezer stash anymore at this point... he gets plenty from nursing and I plan to day-wean at 12 months (still nursing morning and/or night).

I'm glad I'm not alone in my fiend-ish ways. It's like I'm a breastmilk hoarder.

Sunny0710 · January 2014

I am a big time lurker and don't post often, but I HAD to respond to the no handwashing thing- EWWWW!

Washing your hands isn't just about what YOU might get on your hands while going to the washroom yourself- it's about cleaning yourself after touching surfaces that are used by so many (door handles, sink handles, etc.)

The other people that have touched all of those surfaces might have any number of things on their hands. I am in the camp that you wash every.single.time and then use a paper towel to open the door and leave the washroom. In fact, people that don't wash their hands when they leave the bathroom are the reason I need to use paper towel! PLEASE PLEASE wash your hands for your own health and the health of others!

ETA: forgot a word

kgs0505 · January 2014

Please wash your hands! It's just good practice, and the number one best way to prevent the spread of disease. Don't think about it from a pee standpoint but a general you don't want to get yourself or someone sick standpoint. Pee is sterile, that's not so much an issue, but the door in/out of the bathroom stall? probably loaded with fecal matter from other people, and use your elbow or a papertowel to open the bathroom door to exit.

Oh, and the part about Dr. Semmelweis? He committed suicide over his findings because no one believed him at first. They left that little factoid out.

tondraluv · January 2014

You ladies make me laugh but you are all nothing like "Pissy hands",unless you go stealing peoples snacks with those hands >:P.

It's a mix of things but the main reason is because my mom is abusing again & every time we have an event coming up (i.e my wedding, the baby shower, and now Brayden's party), she tends to get worse. For example, her landlord found her walking around naked WTF. I had already cut her out my life about two months ago but now she's reaching out to my family & playing victim. With that said, they are all making me feel like i'm doing something wrong in not being supportive of her.

Sol1790 · January 2014

I am a hand washing freak! Also I love my hand sanitizer and hand lotion.

My real confession. I got hit on by a guy yesterday at the grocery store and let me say he was good looking. So Zu I felt extra special and pretty. Then I thought wow he must like fat girls come on im pregnant! lol

pinottoparenthood · January 2014

@tondraluv Ugh I'm so sorry :-( I can't imagine how hard that must be. You're dealing with a lot right now. I'm thinking about you! (But I won't hug you with my dirty pee hands.)

As someone who can relate to the abusing thing, I am truly sorry you are going through this. You're a strong person and do not need to be pulled down and backwards with that type of thing. I know it is hard when everyone around makes you feel ashamed for wanting to get past that.. but just remember you are doing a great job!

Lhyacinth888 · January 2014

I always wash my hands when I am out in public. Sometimes I don't when I'm at home though. Between doing dishes throughout the day, taking my DS into the bathroom so he can go and me going its far too much- my hands look and feel like a old woman's. If I know the bathroom has been cleaned recently and we haven't had anyone who doesn't live here use it I will sometimes skip it when I pee. I am also the one who confessed a while ago that I dont sit on my toilet seats at home to pee...

I hope he is supportive of your desire to continue BFing. I feel like that is something you should be open about, not hiding. I don't think taking Dom is an over the top measure. I took it, though I was having a very different experience. I ordered mine from Canada.

Mommymorticia · January 2014

I always wash my hands no matter what but I probably change my sheets seasonally lol. I guess we didn't do the changing of the sheets often growing up so it doesn't occur to me to do that every week.

I almost wrecked into a 'road closed' sign and barrels this morning. Lol I'm ok. They have been working on the highway by my house for years and for the last year I have lived here the right half of the road has been closed off and we drive far on the left. Last week they switched it and I was spacing out, staring at the light. It turned green and I started turning how I always turn. Lol. Slammed on my breaks. I'm very lucky the people around me were nice. The person behind me let me back up and go. Feel like such an idiot.

FrecklesInside · January 2014

Confession: The idea of leaving the bathroom without washing my hands grosses me out. Thinking of other people leaving the bathroom without washing their hands also grosses me out. I think special care should be taken when you're in contact with a lot of people. I'm a teacher too, and yes, we get a lot of germs from these kids, but to imagine myself spreading whatever I touched in the bathroom around my classroom...No.

Embarassing but oh well!

Yesterday I pulled into the garage and while getting A out of his car seat, ripped a big one. My eyes shifted as my neighbor, hottie sheriff guy turned and gave me a "wtfwasthat?" look. I picked A up and said "oh my! Good one! Looks like we will be changing your diaper!" $:\$ ">

MsAmeera25 · January 2014

I think the people who don't wash their hands everytime are yucky. I confess i'm a handwashing nazi and I am always wiping, washing and cleaning my hands. I always have sanitizer and hand wipes in my purse, car and diaper bag.

I wish you lived closer so we could have a drink or two together tonight!

Oh, he is very pro-breastfeeding. He is just not that happy about me taking meds to do it, or the cost of those meds He would never say "NO, you can't take it"...if he did, I wouldn't listen

JSS1002 · January 2014

Another one - I confess that I think the craze of anti-bacterial products in our society is probably doing more harm than good,and I avoid it like the plague. It has been linked to infertility and a bunch of other crap. I wash my hands a lot,I don't use anti-bacterial gel or wipes or anything, just good old soap and water, and I have a healthy immune system.

Lhyacinth888 · January 2014

Me too,but that's because James WILL NOT let me at his face with a wipe! And if I get in there, it is so fast or he screams and twists and turns and pulls away, and he's STRONG and fast! I hate it! I wish I could teach him to blow his nose!

CanukMam · January 2014

I'll play, I give LO little tastes of WHATEVER I'm eating, including chips/chocolate and ice cream. They are super little pieces, I know he's not supposed to have the stuff at this age but at the same time I think it's not bad to expose him to as much as possible. He actually sipped a little chocolate milk from my cup this week

I was so surprised he actually slurped a little :P

This has to be flame worthy: I think I have pink eye and I came to work anyway because I want to save my sick days for when my son has his billionth ear infection. I am justifying this because I am using his old eye drops from when he had pink eye.

I had pink eye a few weeks ago and actually took off work to go to the doctor. He told me that pink eye is not something that they keep people out of work for, so I could go back to work right away (yay.....) But he said that i should avoid touching my face and wash my hands a lot (ironic, heh).
