You can't make this ish up....

So I have never created a new discussion, but this day has been so jacked up I decided to write about it to people who would understand best.
Today my husband received an award at work and I was to meet him by 2. Well....the crazy started happening. I tried to workout this morning but LO would not have it. She is a big girl @ 10 wks and is now in her 3 m clothes which most went into to the wash this morning (including what I was going to put on her) only b/c I thought I would have time.
I get a call late morning that my dog has been found and ready to be picked up. Did I mention that I didn't know she was lost? Get a call from my husband that his car broke down and needs me to meet him at the mechanic before the ceremony.
DD and I are not dressed for the day. I take a shower with her screaming b/c of course it's also time for her to eat. So, I'm now nursing her while getting my clothes together, while changing her diaper, looking for my dog's paper work to prove I'm her mom and putting DD clothes on. Did I mentioned that as I'm doing my hair half dressed and that I'm leaking milk on the sink even after I've nursed DD.
Pick up the dog, go back to the house, to the mechanic, get a call that DH can't make it b/c the car broke down, go get him at a run down gas station and finally get to the ceremony. DD is sleep but the next feed is around the corner. Luckily she was our saving grace b/c she slept the entire ceremony.
Crazy Monday... Hope yours was better.

#2 my dog got off her lead and jumped the fence.
#3 the judgement is why some people are afraid to post.
It's not going to kill you if people online judge you, so if it scares you off posting... Oh well.
Don't leave your dog unattended outside.
Keep your diaper bag stocked with extra clothes so you can leave quick.
Feed your baby before showering. Dry shampoo can make you look nice quickly.
You have a baby. Don't try to cram work outs into a busy day. It won't work.
Sounds like she screamed while you showered because hungry, and you waited until you were done to feed her. That's not multitasking. It's letting your child scream.
Also, we treat Newbs the same way we treat everyone else.
And rescued the dog first. My husband's a big boy. He can look out for himself.
Yeah, I was going to take issue with that. Thanks for saying it first. :x
We love @ivedonethisb4 !!
OP that was totes unnecessary. Just cuz your baby is hungry and your dog got away doesn't mean you can be a judgey judgerson!

As far as the hungry baby thing goes, if baby was genuinely hungry then she should have fed her. My LO likes to eat her feelings and could stay on the boob all day - so sometimes I have to let her fuss a bit while showering. I've seen plenty of people post that baby was crying and go back and correct themselves to fussing.
Point of the matter is: people come here to feel like there are others to talk to when the reality is it's group of angry, judging troll mothers who hate their lives and escape to forum land in hopes their internet buddies get them in a way their husband doesn't.
Nope. We judge her for stupid things, not because we don't know her. We also judged and flamed the regular posters who admitted to stupid crap on Friday, so it's not just a "we don't know you so you get flammed" thing. It's a "you do something dumb and you will be told it's dumb" thing.
No one claimed to be perfect. We just said we wouldn't get in the shower when the baby is crying, the dog is lost, and your husband's car is broken down.
2. Fussing and screaming are different things. But yeah, I don't let my baby fuss or scream so I can shower. I have priorities.
3. Not angry, not a troll, I don't hate my life. Also, my husband is awesome- you would be lucky to have a husband half as amazing as mine.
A few things. One, your neighbors are shitty dog owners. I don't have a fenced yard and always know where my dog is. Your dog shouldn't leave your property without you. Accidents can happen, but if you actually watch your dog, that's less likely. It seems like your neighbors let their dogs roam. That makes them shitty neighbors as well as shitty dog owners.
Babies can't "eat their feelings". @.@ And if someone on here corrected their post from crying to fussing, it was likely because they were flamed. All babies on here are too young to cry alone so regular or newbie, you'll get flamed for leaving baby to cry.
As for your last paragraph... I haven't had trouble finding moms here to talk to and haven't found the angry judging troll moms you speak of. I've met some in real life, but moms here tend more to the "do what makes you and baby happy". You are right that there are some shitty husbands around here, but there are also some great ones. I don't come here because my husband doesn't get me, but it's sweet of you to worry about the marriages of strangers. Is that why you're here? Your husband doesn't get you?
Neglect? I beg to differ.

Stop being neglectful!!!!
Edit because spelling while pumping is hard
I'm pretty sure that if that happens, my husband and children will abandon me, dooming me to a life of being a Bump Troll Mother.

I'm the person that always gets stuck talking to the stranger telling me their life story. The advantage to forums is you can stop reading if you are bored.
Thanks for the link on non-dairy!
