I'm awake MOTN, I'm totally starting this today.

Lee81 · March 2014

I forgot to brush my teeth before work the other day. It was gross.

jennlin · March 2014

I'm visiting my brother this week and I judge him hardcore. My brother is struggling with money big time, living paycheck to paycheck, but still beyond his means. He does not make good money decisions. His wife told me they are trying to get "secret pregnant"....where they are trying, but if anybody asks, it was a surprise. They currently do not have health insurance (including their 22mo old), and supposedly can't get discounted (enough) insurance through obamacare. I want to pull my hair out talking to them.

That was just a vent. Not a FFFC. I'm going insane here. Needed to tell someone.

They have their son watch videos on their iPhone all day and spank him for jbbb. I want to cry.

@beernifer I'm confused. Your text looks black, but text on TB is usually brown (mobile). Right? Am I losing it?

acethebase · March 2014

I get grossed out when people have such yellow teeth. I mean there are so many whiteners out there for that!

I see it too. But I haven't slept in quite awhile so who knows.

Secret pregnant?? wtf is that!! Sounds a bit coo coo for coco puffs to me!! Good lucky keeping your cool!!

They were also secretly trying with their first. Told me it was an accident, told everyone else in the world they were trying (I was pregnant at the time). They are naive enough to think that nobody fact checks, or tells me that they were mad that I "got pregnant first", even though I "was not trying" and they were. I was married and trying for 8 mos. They met each other less than 8 mos before they got pregnant and they were not married but still felt like they should've been pregnant first (my brother is older).

Slap8out · March 2014

Even thought my job is working with me about not working any nights right now, (dd has some real issues when it comes to DH watching her while I'm at work) I'm looking for another job. I haven't told anyone I work with, but I'm tired of the new stupid shit the company I work for is implementing. This rat needs to get off this sinking ship!
Edit. Didn't post the whole thing

hartsl01 · March 2014

While using the neti pot the other day, I started sneezing so hard I pissed myself and couldn't stop it. I told dh I spilled Sprite on myself when he asked why I was showering in the middle of the afternoon.

jennlin · March 2014

Okay with all that I do have a confession I thought of now:

My brother is struggling big time. I have more than enough money to dig him out and it wouldn't even make a difference in my budget. I'm not giving him one cent.

deedee1017 · March 2014

My mil has caused a lot of problems since dd was born. When I send my daughter's baptism invitations out I plan on holding hers for a few days after. All of dh's aunts and uncles will be calling her to talk about the baptism/invitations and she'll think she wasn't invited.

LucyGoose8710 · March 2014

This one gave me serious mommy guilt, so I'm confessing. LO has pretty bad reflux, and we switched him from Zantac to Prevacid in February. Some of you may remember that I posted about him having awful tummy troubles when we switched his meds - well, huge fail on my part, apparently the Prevacid needs to be refrigerated. I was keeping it with his other meds on the bathroom counter! So as his pediatrician (gently) explained to me, Prevacid at room temperature loses all stability and therefore effectiveness, and can cause bloating, gas, etc. Good job, Mom. And to top it off, he has a double ear infection right now...

FFFC

1. I was so convinced I was pregnant that I've been lurking N14 all week.

2. Watching/hearing the girl sing "Let it go" on the Oscars made me want to rip my ears off. They should have had O13 kiddos do it.

S/o hair brushing, when I was little, I loved it when my grandma brushed my hair. She was so gentle and took her time to work through the tangles. Whenever my mom tried to brush it, I would yell and tell her to do it "the grandma way." Not at all a flame-worthy confession, but I hope my grandma stays alive long enough to brush dd's hair one day.

lol when I was younger I would never ever ever ever let my mom brush my hair. To the point it got so bad we had to use dog shampoo to get the knots out!!! I also used the razor in my hair when in the shower once and my dad was fixing my hair and it all started coming out he got so freaked out! If my kid is anything like me, I'm screwed.

scamberlous3000 · March 2014

I really, really, really want to rub breast milk all over my face to see if it is a magical potion that will make me look 10 years younger overnight.

I have another (now that we're talking about our grandparents). When I was little my grandma used to clip my grandpa's toenails. I wanted to help her so every time I came over I would clip them for her. Now that I look back on it they were gross and disgusting but I was little and gross things were cool.

My sister recently posted on FB about her 11 yr old daughter being bullied at school. She then turned it around into a post about how "awesome" of a mom she is and how she dyed her hair pink to show her daughter it was okay to be wierd. NO sister! You dyed your hair pink because you wanted to prove to your MUCH younger boyfriend that you are still cool. You suck at being a mom. She sends her kids to school in stinky and dirty clothes. That is why she is being picked on at school.

Awww that's so sad! My heart goes out to people that get bullied. It happens all too often now. My son came home from school a couple weeks ago and asked if I could start packing his lunch so I asked why. He replied "because all the kids pick on me when I buy lunch." I was shocked 1) that he was getting bullied over something so stupid and 2) the last time I knew buying your lunch was the "cool" thing to do. Ugh makes me so angry! I really think there needs to be more conversations and awareness for school aged children.

ksimo6 · March 2014

My niece is two grades behind in reading and just got put in a program at school for kids who struggle with reading. My parents have offered to pay for a tutor for over a year and my bro/SIL will not do it. Their pride is getting in the way of their kids education... I think they are failing their child. And I feel guilty about feeling that way because they are amazing parents in every other way.

@LucyGoose8710 Don't feel bad! Your pharmacy should have made it clear to you that it needed refrigerated! The pharmacy I got DS's Prilosec suspension from put no fridge sticker and didn't tell me it needed to be kept in the fridge. I'm a pharmacist so thankfully I knew but most people wouldn't know so I casually mentioned it to them the next time I was in. Hope your DS is doing better!

I was so tired yesterday that I popped lo in her crib with her crib aquarium on and laid down on the floor to nap. I got maybe 10 minutes.

ajjf1026 · March 2014

I actually consider a couple of you better friends to me than my "friends" IRL. Not really flame worthy, but it's the truth! My other friends suck.

kelle017 · March 2014

I have a couple

1) I peed with the stall door open at Target. The bathrooms are down this narrow hall and dd was in her car seat in the cart, I had the stuff I bought, and my purse, and the diaper clutch in the cart. I didn't want to leave the stuff by the cashier, because I still would have had to haul the car seat across the entry way, down the hall and then set it on the bathroom floor. On one side of the bathroom there is a regular and a handicap stall and the other has a few more stalls. I angled the cart into the handicap and peed really fast. Thankfully no one was in there.

2) We still have some of our christmas lights up. Some fell down from the weight of the ice on them, but we still have a strand and a few random yard/lawn marker things. It's been too tough to get them down though.

3) DH turns 30 this year, and I know his mom wants to organize him some sort of party. I'd be fine with it, but his birthday is the Saturday before mother's day, and I don't want my first mother's day to be ruined by a hungover husband.

Okay, I have done this with some waste milk from a post-surgery pump and dump. I had similar results to using wrinkle cream, taking a fish oil and multi vitamin every day for 2 weeks. Not a magical potion, but gives visible results.

stephl3055 · March 2014

This isn't necessarily flame-worthy here, but I like you guys better than my original BMB. I wish I would've participated more before DD was born.

My EDD was 9/28 and I don't know why it never occurred to me that I could post on multiple boards. I should've known I was going to go late and not have a September baby.

jennlin · March 2014

I got the sads reading @dh13 's UO yesterday.

stephl3055 · March 2014

My company gives new moms and dads 2 weeks of "new parent leave" that is paid in order to give parents time to bond with their children. The only stipulation is that you have to use it within 6 months of your child being born or adopted. LO will be 6 months on 4/3 and I've still got 7 days to burn through. So, I'm taking all next week off. And I'm considering dropping DD off at daycare for most of those days.

So yes, I'm taking 5 days of "new parent leave" off but not actually keeping my kid home for most of those.

carawasa · March 2014

my friend texted me yesterday to ask if I wanted to go to Boston to spend a night there for our friends birthday but she said "i know its so hard to leave LO..." i'm like PSHHHHH- IM THERE!

norbert5 · March 2014

I am (was) friends with an ex-bf on facebook. Last week he posted a couple posts about how hard it is to be a SAHD. I commented on a couple of them in what I thought was a kind way.

For example he posted - LO has decided to stop napping
I commented with- aw, bummer! If I wear the baby that usually helps her fall asleep.

He blocked me so I can see but not comment on his stuff. So I texted a couple of our mutual friends and we (5 of us) all defriended him at the same time. Yeah I am still in HS.

carawasa · March 2014

AmandagStark · March 2014

Not too exciting, but I cried myself to sleep last night because it was the first night LO spent the night in his crib.

I'll have to think if something more juicy and return...

Ugh I'm sorry someone as sweet as you has to deal with a brother like mine. Does he have a craptastic dumb wife too?

carawasa · March 2014

my brother and SIL are expecting in August and I'm super excited but they have tons of money (he is a lawyer and she is a PA). I'm already jealous of their non-existent amazing nursery and non-existent top of the line awesome baby stuff
