Because we know they actually aren't....

My confession is that I'm likely posting and running today. Super busy, so don't go confessing anything too juicy

middleschoolmommy · February 2014

I confess that I've started hoping my baby is a boy simply to spite someone. My brother's grandma made the comment to me last weekend:
"I really hope you have a girl. If you have a boy, your dad will be showing it so much attention that it will destroy your little brother." Thanks for that vote of confidence in my dad!
My brother is (almost) 7. She spoils the hell out of him and I know that no matter what, she will ramp it up once my baby gets here. I'm considering telling her its a boy no matter what (I find out tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I'm blaming hormones.

AutumnBonfire · February 2014

Inspired by yesterday's UO: I really don't like dogs. Some are ok, but I really have no desire to ever own one. I hate going to (most) people's houses who have dogs, unless they are little lap dogs. I don't want to be licked, jumped on, or have my crotch sniffed. I really hate it when the owner thinks its funny and laughs. I realize the dog lives there and I don't, so I just won't come over. I've always been a cat person and if someone doesn't like my cat or is allergic, I would put him in another room rather than enjoy someone's discomfort.

My hubby wanted a boy so badly so I would just say that I felt it would be a girl to stress him out... lol

[Deleted User] · February 2014

I really, really love my son's name. We've tossed around ideas if this one is another boy but I don't think there's another single name out there that I like even half as much that we can use (my other name I love is BIL's name). I know I've got another 5+ months to decide and maybe THE name will come out of nowhere but right now I'm feeling very blah about potentially having to name another boy.

yurmom · February 2014

Coming home from work, taking off my bra, and rubbing my sore boobs is hands down one of the best parts of my day.

Salsera29 · February 2014

My confession is that I judge the shit out of my sister and BIL for their choices. They have two kids. They live in a house next door to my parents that my parents own so they don't pay rent. My BIL is now on his third job in a year and my sister has a sort-of part-time job. BIL bought a brand new $30,000+ car that he may now have to give up because they can't afford it (well duh). Now she tells me in the fall BIL is going to law school. He does NOTHING around the house, he can't even take care of his own kids for more than 5 minutes, and now he's not going to be supporting them either. He's such a selfish piece of shit and I judge my sister for putting up with him.

My a/s is two weeks from a yesterday and on my appointment card they wrote to drink 32oz in the hour before my appointment. I don't think it's physically possible for me to hold that much liquid for an hour. And on top of that, for the tech to be pressing down during the ultrasound.

How do these women/Drs think this is ever going to happen? I want to look forward to my scan but now I'm freaking out over how uncomfortable I will be the whole time!

A lot of times after they get the specific images they need, they let you pee and then they look at other things. At least that is what happened with DS.

I think a lot of you ladies are gorgeous! If we weren't married, pregnant and online, I might awkwardly try and hit on some of you lol but it would fail miserably.

Sometimes when I read posts here and the following responses I think to myself "did we all just read the same thing." It occurs to me that I might be kind of an asshole, but there's a lot of P&R up in hurrrrrr.

I enjoy your bluntness.

ETA: BUT I'm surprised you don't get reprimanded more by the white knights about it. They must know not to pick fights with you.

I just ate the sandwich I brought for lunch...it's only 9am...Guess I'll be getting Wendy's later today.

tealowl · February 2014

FFFC - My only weird craving has been mustard, and I want it on everything. I'm just excited because it has no calories, and I was worried I'd crave something worse for me.

OMG...mustard on pizza is so good, guys.

tourqeyes · February 2014

What I like about my son being sick -- It's the only time his energy level is low enough for me to get stuff done and that he is willing to cuddle with me.

What I was thinking yesterday -- if I get his stomach bug and it ruins my weekend plans I'm going to go off the deep end.

jjess1201 · February 2014

@salsa, your BIL sounds crazy! How are they planning to pay for law school?? My husband is in law school and still works full time and is worried about being able to pay it off. Yes, some attorney jobs make a ton of money but there are so many lawyers out there and not enough jobs! (My hubs has a ton of contacts and already works in the attorney generals office so he is not worried as much about finding a job). Crazy!

Based on having to stay at home yesterday with sick child ---

I would never want to be a stay at home mom because I'm not confident I could get in a shower/routine every day and feel put together enough. I also am afraid that I would rarely leave the house.

I would also miss the adult interaction. Yeah, they have mom's groups but all of the SAHM's I have ever hung around only want to talk about their children 24/7.

INmommy871278 · February 2014

Sometimes when I'm exhausted and DH is home playing xbox or watching YouTube videos I sneak off to our room and take a nap, then when he comes back looking for me I claim that I just laid down for a minute because I was lightheaded and dizzy and must have fallen asleep. He arcs like he believes me, but I thi he has figured out my little trick. I have been lightheaded and dizzy most days during this pregnancy, but I'm not always feeling that way when I lay down, but man the mini naps I get out of the deal are heaven.

As a SAHM that is not a homebody, it sucks sometimes. DS and I head to the library a couple times a week for different activities they have and we go to a playgroup with other little ones and SAHM. Shockingly enough, most conversations are about activities, alcohol, and husbands, not our kids. We go to have adult interaction and let the kids play, so kid talk is very limited and usually the kid talk involves asking what are they have done in this situation.

Well I know they will get money through the GI bill, but I can't imagine that pays for all of law school and to support the family. Also, that's really funny that your husband manages to work full time AND go to law school because when I asked my sister if BIL would be working, she said, "Oh no, they don't let you work at the same time."

And correct me if I'm wrong, but those attorney jobs that pay a bunch...don't they usually also involve working like 100 hours a week for not much money at first, or something like that? Although, he doesn't do shit around the house anyway so maybe that would just mean she won't have to wait on his lazy ass.

My second confession is that it's really foggy here today and this has caused me to speak in horrible British accent much to DD's amusement. My housekeeper keeps looking at me like I am a giant idiot (which I obviously am).

I do that too! Lol but for my own amusement as well. Things get weird in this house.

As a survivor of biglaw, where I regularly billed 300 hour months and worked one 6 month stretch without a day off, I can confirm that they don't pay you the big bucks to work 8 to 6. More like 8am to 1:30 am. daily.

Also, I don't know where your BIL is going to law school, but I can also assure you that he isn't getting a job at a biglaw firm unless he is in a tier 1 school or the top of his class at a tier 2 or 3 school.

It makes me sad how many people throw away a shitton of money on law school thinking they are going to make it back. Schools regularly inflate their post-grad placement rates and the salaries grads are making to get the applicants in the do. Many law schools are simply diploma mills where the grads have little chance of ever earning a high salary with their degrees.

Ok 2nd FFFC

I've never cared for Beyonce's music or destiny's child. It all sounds the same to me. Plus, I've never been a huge fan of hip-hop and R&B but, she really just doesn't do it for me.

This is something I'm ashamed of, so flame away.

Short story: I almost hit someone with my car and didn't stop.

Long story: This chick was running on the median of a divided parkway by our house, even when there are empty side walks on either side. She tripped and fell into the road. Luckily I was able to swerve and miss her and the roads were clear. Normally I would have stopped to see if she was OK but I wasn't thinking and was shaking from the suddenness of it all. I did see in the rear view mirror that she got up and started walking on the sidewalk, but still, I feel like a crappy human for almost mowing her down and not checking to see if she was OK.

I did an asshole thing a few weeks ago that I am really ashamed about to make you feel better

Traffic was moving REALLY slow and I was getting aggravated so I maneuvered and was able to get to the front of the pack and was all WTF WAS THAT? Well as I kept going with no traffic in front of me I noticed on the other side of the street coming towards us there was a funeral procession (the line of cars?) with cops leading the pack of like 30 or so vehicles.

At that point I was already going like 40mph and I only realized as I was going by it. It was a douche move, but I kept going because at that point I wasn't going to slam on my breaks. I still feel bad about it though. $:\$

Huahine · February 2014

I ate two bags of candy before 9:30 am. The only thing that is getting me through today is sugar.

This has been a long slog of a week and I can't wait for it to be over.

ghostof5letters · February 2014

Beyonce's Grammy's performance was really skanky and if anyone else had done it, they would have been flamed to high hell for it.

cakebatter27 · February 2014

Mine is even though I know it's common and whenever someone asks I always answer "yep, very common", I Google every.single.symptom.

We had sex last night and I had light bleeding. Common? Yep! You bet I Googled the eff out of sensitive cervix during pregnancy though for an hour after.

I also don't want to be team green anymore just because of the sales on baby clothes. $3 for Christmas dresses. THREE DOLLARS! I may not even mind the never ending Christmas parties if I can get a baby girl all those dresses!

ghostof5letters · February 2014

I buy most of my daughter's clothes a season or year in advance. We're extremely stocked on summer 2014 clothes and I'm actually annoyed because I have nothing to buy. Ugh...

I have one of your HDBD pictures burned into my memory because you looked so amazing. I don't mean to sound like a creepy stalker. It's just the first image that comes to mind when I see your name.

katnipeverclean · February 2014

My FFFC: I have a burning movement question, but I don't want to post it because I don't want to be flamed for it. So, I just silently panic about it, and consider calling my OB to complain about the horrendous* pain (which I actually KNOW is round ligament pain) and playing dumb so they'll do an US for my peace of mind.

I won't do it, but I reallllllly want to.

*might be a tiny slight over exaggeration. It hurts, but not like labor hurts.

DH got his job as a children's pastor in the beginning of July 2012 and we got married at the end of July 2012. The job was awesome at first, but once we started getting to know people/the history of the church/more about the personality of the head pastor (DH's "boss"), it's gotten a LOT less awesome. DH knows how I feel about things, and he's really not that happy with his job either. We moved an hour and a half away from our families (whom we are very close to) for his job.

My FFFC - I know it's selfish, but I would love more than anything for him to leave the church. I'm sad that it doesn't work that way. What's really sad is that I feel like a 5 year old and almost ugly cry when I think about how much I want to leave here and go back to our families. He talks about leaving in a couple years, but I want to leave now, especially with the first grandbaby on the way.

FFFC - the last few days, I SWEAR its the baby moving. I have no gas. Could be muscle spasms, but I just don't think it is. My friend dismissed it which bummed me out. I don't think S/O will believe me either. I'm a STM and I'm 15wks, is it really too early? I'm just excited about it and no one else is. HMMPFT *pouts*

I believe you. I'm a ftm and last night while reading I felt something that lasted maybe 20-25 seconds. In my head all I could describe it as was like carbonation. Like pop fizzing.

I'm pretty regular so I also know it wasn't gas. Maybe in a couple days I'll feel it again and then know for sure. I also haven't told DH. He'll side eye me.
