FFFC

Rocknroll64 · February 2014

Every morning when I go pee I let out a huge long nasty fart. DH calls it my morning trumpet.

AnnieA75 · February 2014

FFFC #1: I don't mind Valentine's Day at all. I don't need a holiday to show DH I love him, but I do love having him as my Valentine and doing small, sweet things on V-day for him.

FFFC #2: DH wants to split the leftover turkey burger from last night for today's lunch and I am secretly pissy because I want the entire burger for myself. Lol, maybe I should refer myself to FFFC #1. Ha!

FFFC #3: I'm completely ok with having had a c-section the first time around and a repeat again this time. I don't for one minute feel like I'm missing out on anything or being cheated by not having a vaginal delivery. I was actually relieved when my OB told me I had to have the c-sections (due to a prior myomectomy). I loved having everything planned out and loved not having to go through labor.

I'm going to have to steal that term. I've totally given up on attempting to muffle the fart that happens every time I pee. I can hear my husband snickering from the other room.

OMG that's so funny!! I've had a few good ones, DH gives me this bug-eyed look every time. I'm going to have to use the trumpet comment haha!!

I pick my nose in the car. I know people can see me, but IDGAF.

sheriot · February 2014

Piggybacking off @busterbeagle : I pick my nose all the time now and I can't say I feel bad about it. It's ridiculous because there's ALWAYS SOMETHING THERE. Damn bloody pregnant nose.

I find it very satisfying. I like picking DD's nose, too. She gets really excited when I help her get a "beastly booger" out.

reneewhite90 · February 2014

My FFFC... @pandadair is my ultimate Bumpie crush. I love that she constantly states her opinion no matter what side she is representing and doesn't give a shit. She stands up for what her viewpoint is no matter what it is in a very forceful, "get my point across" matter. I envy this about her and wish I could do this in my everyday life with real people.

Immmmaaaa creepy creeper bumpie crushing is basically what I'm trying to confess here.

We also had a child-free wedding (well, the youngest kid there was 13). Since about half of our guests had to travel out of state, we provided a baby sitting service though. Seriously, it's nice to have kid-free events sometimes. I don't see a problem with it at all.

This exactly. DH and I had a kid-free wedding (older teenagers were fine). We decided on it for a few reasons. 1.) The venue we chose was very formal/adult and also rather small (we got married in a small historic house), so kids running through the place would have charged a direct path through everyone else and 2.) My husband has about 20 children in his family between the ages of 3-12, so we would've had 20 kids packed into a small adult venue.

However, we understood that some guests would be unable to attend if they could not bring their children. We in no way huffed and puffed over someone not being able to make it because they had familial obligations.

sopsongbird · February 2014

I don't have a good FFFC this week.

I hate doing dishes and I've been using my sensitive nose to avoid doing them. Leftover food on my hands...bleck! (I miss my dishwasher before we moved in with my parents le sigh)

@Katemr1146 Totes agree!

@sheriot I do too...all. the. time.

@rocknroll64 I sometimes stink myself out of the room...it's bad.

bumpuser9353653 · February 2014

This stage of baby movement is my least favorite. LO is big enough for me to feel everything but not at the "rolling" stage. And this kid is active, so her movements/kicks are really distracting at times. I'm glad she's there and active and healthy, but give it a rest sometime!

sopsongbird · February 2014

@RugbyMamma I don't want to sound like a bish by saying this, but I agree. LO is active all day and it wears me out. I love feeling him and his movements (some rolling included), but sometimes they hurt and I just want to rest. Selfish...I know...

This is not meant to rub in anyone's faces...love to all the ladies here and their LO's.

I don't hesitate to watch Walking Dead or other shows of that nature around DD who is 18 months. That's probably the worst of the many that I watch, including SVU, etc.

I've been watching Buffy off and on at home and listening to NSFW audiobooks in the car with my son. He watches Bond movies at night with DH, but that seems like less of a big deal to me because I totally watched Sean Connery/Roger Moore ones when I was really young.

I don't want to read any more food confessions. You're pregnant. Congrats on your weird eating habits. Plus they make me hungry.

I am sort of hoping this baby is born somewhere between 7 and 10 days after it's due so that DH won't have to leave right after it's born to go to a wedding (his brother's) to which DD is not invited. He'll be allowed to skip the wedding if the baby isn't born yet or if we haven't been sent home from the hospital or if I have a c-section, right? Ugh, probably not.
Your daughter isn't invited to her uncle's wedding? Wow. I've never understood fancy schmancy no kid weddings. I guess I'm not fancy enough. One of my favorite parts of my wedding was our flower girl (hubs 5 year old cousin) and ring guy (my nephew - 6) helping our friend's 1 year old walk down the aisle. (His mama was one of my bridesmaids). Here's hoping on baby being a bit late!

We had a child-free wedding. It was mostly to keep the cost down. There are a lot of kids in DH's family in the 5-15 range. We had an open bar, and had to pay per seat regardless if the person was old enough to drink. I also felt like the menu was something that wouldn't appeal to most kids, and I just didn't want to pay all that money for children who weren't going to eat or drink anyway.

I made a few exceptions though, like a girl I used to babysit who was 17 at the time, and I think of her like a sister. The only people who had young children were in the wedding party, and we told them they were welcome to bring their children, since they would be travelling from out of town, but that there was no kids meal (they were all too young to be eating steak so a regular meal wasn't an option anyway). They all had family members in town, so nobody brought their kids, and I'm kind of glad that it worked out that way.

kramja01 · February 2014

I was reading the "my husband gets two-hour massages" thread and while I feel bad for OP, all I could think was "damn, I really need a massage." Now I've spent the last 1/2 hour at work Googling local spas that offer prenatal massage and their reviews.

I guess this is more of an UO than a confession, but I hate when people shorten Valentine's Day to V-Day. And also that it's become an abbreviation on here for "viability date". It just makes me think of VD. Every time.

Do people even say VD anymore? I guess I'm old.

I say VD whereas everyone else says STI now, but then again my choice of words often makes DH laugh and raise an eyebrow at me. (Pallor, for instance. I think I was describing underdone toast but can't remember for sure.) Also, saying V-Day for Valentine's or viability makes me think of V-E or V-J Day. Hurray! The war is over! Really, really over!

ErikaLynn75 · February 2014

Actually, my FFFC is that I'm still holding a little bit of a grudge about someone we made a "child-free" exception for at our wedding. It was a family with 6 kids, and some of them were over 21 and some were not (that was our cut off). So we invited the whole family because it didn't seem right to invite some of the siblings and not others. I really wanted to invite the parents and none of the 6 kids, but it was DH's dad's twin brother and his children, so I got overruled on that. No big deal.

So this family of 8 had an entire table at the reception, and they LEFT BEFORE DINNER. Like "oops, something came up with one of the kids, (like a violin lesson or something) we're just going to skip out early." So we had an empty table, and basically flushed $400 down the drain for these people.

I guess my FFFC is that we had a child-free wedding. One side of the family (... not mine ...) is not so big on parenting things like "discipline" and "teaching your child manners" and "paying the remotest bit of attention to your 500 children once the bar opens up" and I was honestly terrified of how that would turn out. We couldn't very well only allow children from one side of the family. Luckily, there were only one or two young children on my family's side, and we offered to make childcare arrangements and/or pay for theirs. So I guess my point is, sometimes it's not about your kid.

I totally get having a child free event. But this one feels a bit more directed at my kid because she's the only kid in question. The only other child who would potentially come is going to be less than a month old. So I'm assuming the rule doesn't apply, since that baby will be nursing non-stop anyway. This isn't about lots and lots of kids. There literally are NO other children in the equation.

Doesn't matter anyway because DH isn't taking her.

Just reason number five thousand why I'd so much rather live here on the west coast.

I can see where you'd feel singled out if your daughter would be the only child. I guess I don't follow what the west coast has to do with it?

lindseylu10 · February 2014

I got my hubby a 6-pack of his favorite beer and a card for valentines day... The main reason I bought the beer is because it is also my favorite and I really want to split one with him (it's an IPA with a higher ABV or I would have my own damn beer). I'm so selfless it's hurts.

lauralou3x3 · February 2014

My FFFC is that I secretly like Valentines Day. Nothing super cheesy, just simple romantic gestures. But I think it's because my hubby is not romantic at all. A sweet card would mean the world! Psh men!

jenb_99 · February 2014

DH has been out of town the past 4 times DS and/or I have been sick. By the time DH gets home we're usually better, so he never sees how hard it is for me to handle everything by myself, or feels the need to help out or give me some time to rest and catch up.

Then this past Tuesday DH came down with norovirus too. I gave him Tuesday to be sick and Wednesday to rest and recover, and then I took advantage of his time off and put him to work around the house. I should have been sorry he was sick, but instead I was more glad that was getting some idea of what I go through.

oscarwao · February 2014

My FFFC is that I went to the grocery store with no bra or underwear on, just a black cotton dress. It was my day off and I wanted to take it breezey

singing_lyn · February 2014

I had a "snow day" yesterday, so I worked a total of maybe 2 hours, and then I was supposed to work today, but went in to my office for about half an hour, came home to let the electrician in so my hubby could continue to sleep, and then ran an errand for my brother to a town 20 minutes away, and came back home, worked for another half an hour, and now, I'm trying to figure out if I wake my hubby up if he'll be mad, because I want to go shopping and maybe get some dinner or see a movie. So over the course of the last 2 days I've worked maybe 3-4 hours. I don't really have any reason why I couldn't have worked more, I just didn't feel like it. I leave for FL next Wednesday and I've sort of already checked out.

Xath · February 2014

FFFC: I just ordered take-out. Third night this week we've eaten out/had take-out instead of cooking. I've even had 2 meals prepped and ready to go in the fridge for the cooking, but just haven't had the motivation to cook them. Because the local diner delivers delicious pancakes.

Also, I love scrapple. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.

My new OB delivers at a hospital that has very strict visiting policies. DH's hours are 10-10. Grandparents and baby's siblings are 2-4. Everyone else is 7:30-8:30. Babies must be in the nursery during open visiting hours.

My confession is that I love that MIL can't just come up with her whole entourage (she never goes anywhere alone. We invite her over for dinner and she brings at least two extra people. Every.Time.) whenever she damn well pleases....and I haven't had the pleasure of telling her yet. Andplusalso my mother will be there first because she's my mom and that's how it's going to go. MIL isn't going to be happy.
So your DH isn't allowed to stay overnight with you? That seems so strange!

No but actually I don't mind. I'd rather him be home with our dog and at least have one of us get some sleep before DD comes home. He's not loving the idea but I really think it's fine.

I'm sorry, but eeeeewwwwwww.

DH is coming home to pizza tonight (he's been OOT for work and won't be home until later).

Storrmys · February 2014

I am secretly excited about work tonight not because I love working ... Because at midnight all the Valentine candy goes half off and I will be there to get first pick on the good stuff !! I love half price candy day almost more than the actual holiday.

momthatlifts · February 2014

I bought a rock n play and a few more baby clothes today at a consignment store. I felt so bad for spending the money so I took back 2 bras and a dress I got the other day. I really needed the bras

. I'm wearing an A cup bra and I'm now a C.

Oh mainly because we don't have to deal with family or other events constantly where our child(ren) will be excluded. I'd be expected to stay at home with them. It's a family issue I have with my ILs. Never should have brought it up.

Gotcha, gotcha. I thought maybe weddings that included kids were some big thing out there? I had a confuzed. I feel the same way about all my ILs in Indiana.

FFC 1- I don't like surprises. I don't do well with them (Im Type A). This has recently come up because I found out they're throwing me a surprise baby shower after snooping, since NO ONE was saying anything to me. I am grateful, but at the same bummed Im not being considered for anything. They don't know everyone Id love to invite. Anyway, again, don't care for surprises.
FFC 2- I didn't get DH anything for Valentine's Day. Not even a card. I don't expect anything either.

babyaotw · February 2014

My confession:

I saw the cat puke on the floor this morning. And again when I got home this afternoon. Since I didn't feel like doing any extra bending and it was on tile, I left it for DH to discover.

I won't deal with cat puke right now either. Just don't want to. I told Dh I could get toxoplasmosis... that it comes out their butts and is in their puke. He totally bought it.

I get it and that is awful! If it happened to us, DH wouldn't go to the wedding. I think that's horrible to exclude children-especially family!

This happened to us too with DH brother. When BIL got married he told us children were not invited. So we had to find elsewhere for DH 5 and 6 year old to go. I guess I can see not having tons of kids at a wedding, but I have problems with that when it is kids from your immediate family. The kids were really upset they couldn't join in and see their uncle get married. I always feel that kids make a wedding that much better. They are usually the first and the last on the dance floor.

Yeah, but a lot of the guests aren't going to know who's family and who's not, so I don't really see how you'd go about inviting some kids and not inviting others. That's great if you feel kids make a wedding that much better, but it's not your wedding.
