I think people don't like to get involved when things aren't happy go lucky. People say they are there for you, but 95% aren't when you need them. I backed off this board because I feel like I am the outcast. My life is messy by no choice of my own. I tried to post positive thoughts in addition to my mess, but no one love titted them but frenchie. I think it's the same with a lot of messy situations. For instance, people talk about being forgotten which a miscarriage or when someone passes. I think when things get too real people stop wanting to be involved.

I'm so late to this party (you all have been busy today), but I have wanted to say this to @TeacherClarksince I found out what has been going on. I am so incredibly sorry for what is going on in your life right now. I want to reach through the computer screen and hug you every time I see a post. Since I came back after you had already said what had happened, I sort of had to go looking for it and it made me feel weird and stalkerish and then I didn't want to say anything and make you think I was just looking for juicy gossip. I wasn't. You've always been one of my faves on this board and I am appalled that you are going through this. I don't want you to feel like an outcast here. I want you to have a place to vent. Of all people, you deserve at least that. So, even if I don't lovehit your post (because I am stingy), know that I am hoping for nothing but the best for you.

I love you, @Sagen! You shouldn't feel like you have to hide from us
Thanks Frenchie love ya too!! I was hoping to DD before anyone saw, I had the posting remorse . Basically it was that I am a Mormon SAHM who hates being at home too much, hates cleaning (I do it but hate it), and doesn't really believe in the church I belong which makes me feel failure like. Today is just a woe is me day. Add to that my kids are fighting like mad lately what has gotten into them?!? We had a talk before school and everything seems peaceful now knock on wood. I get fighting sometimes, but damn cool your jets kiddos!

@Sagen - Coming out as a Mormon on the BMB just for you. ;-)

I hate being at home all day, I hate cleaning, and I have a hard time interacting with my kid. I don't do crafts and I suck at cooking and I didn't start having kids until I was 28. If anyone feels like a Mormon failure, it is me. :-)

But, this is what I think: all of the things that we ascribe to "being a good Mormon wife/mom" isn't doctrine, and isn't from our leadership - it's the culture that surrounds our religion. It works for some, but I suspect there are a lot more like us who feel like we don't fit the mold. Luckily for me, my mom was never your textbook "Mormon housewife" so I feel more comfortable about not being one either.

But, but...although I do believe strongly in our faith, I get that not everyone does, and you know what? That's okay. Truly. We all have to find our own path. It is not for anyone to judge. So I hope you know that I do not judge you. I only support you in whatever you decide to do. And I'm always here to "talk"/PM, either way. I know it's a lonely feeling, because I was there once. I don't want you to feel that way.

@DC2London - I updated my siggy pic just for you! :-)

I gotta be honest. I get somewhat irrationally upset that my peeps are getting butthurt when a little bit of conflict happens. Conflict is okay, for serious. I have 3 older sisters. God help us if a day went by when there weren't tears shed, doors slammed, angry words said. But we still came out of it and loved each other.

I have three sisters, too. The drama was out of control!!!

2 sisters over here! I totally feel ya @Irtrauth. We are super mean to each other (still are, those 2 bitches). It's all in good fun.

PS - I'm another ungenerous love titer. My bag

PPS - I love you bitches but I don't post as much as I lurk because I'm always behind on threads!

I'm feeling very MOTY right now because I can't get rid of this poor kid's diaper rash in between his balls for shit. FML

And the DC people probably are side eyeing the shit out of me.

Could it be yeast?

jesuisfatiguee · May 2014

I can't decide where to post this, but I don't want to make her feel obligated by a whole call-out thread… sooo…

@musicalmama5 - I just saw you on the AP Board from a couple days ago, and I miss you over here! Come baaack!

I have a lot of rants but they're all depressing, so I'll just say this one: DD has another snotty nose again after just going through this a little over a month ago. I really hope it's just a cold or something that will go away on its own very soon, because we don't have health insurance until June 1, and I don't want to do antibiotics again anyway because she HATED them. So we're running a vaporizer at night and hoping for the best. I hate it when babies are sick.

The saline spray and suction can help too but not overdo it.

I swear sometimes I think I loved something and I didn't, or sometimes I love it twice and it actually un-loves it.

The 'love it' may actually be a really bad feature of the upgrade considering how many Bumpies deal with social anxiety

No!!! Don't you remember all of the "quote box ::thumbs up::" posts?? They made the threads so much longer for no reason other than to say "I agree with you". I will defend the "love hits" to the end.

1. I had scary life-threatening complications that ended both pregnancies resulting in babies and I'm really freaked out about having another even though DH and I want a third LO.

2. I've never had coffee. Ever. Not even coffee-tasting anything. To me, it smells wonderful, but it's like the smell of burning leaves in the fall. Wonderful but I sure as heck don't want to ingest it.

3. DD1 was 6 weeks early and DD2 was 10 days early. Because of the complications with DD2, I will not be allowed to go past 38w with any further pregnancies. While I'd prefer to make it to at least 39 weeks, I'm happy that I will definitely not have to go overdue. I hate being pregnant.

This is where homebirths are awesome. My mom was my chef during and after labor. She made whatever I wanted at the time. With #3 she had a breakfast feast there for my team, so I was munching on bacon, pancakes, eggs, fruit, etc. during labor and then she had homemade chicken and noodle with brownies ready for me afterwards. #4 was too quick to eat during, but afterwards I was like MUST.HAVE.STEAK. so Mama came to the rescue with some yummy food.

I have food intolerances and issues, so I can't eat hospital food. When I delivered #2 they had like ZERO soy-free options for me. And even when I requested soy-free they had a big glob of margarine sitting next to my breakfast when it was on the tray.

@DublinMama, Kira was lip tied to! And tongue tied. Of course we figured it out after I gave up BF. I had her lip tie lasered.

We have an appointment with a pediatric dentist and we're going to see what he thinks!

kbates85 · May 2014

This is so braggy but whateves. I had the most amazing natural birth at a birth center (showed up at 9:30a and had a baby in my arms before 12:30, no tearing, just awesome). Anywho, DH picked me up the most delicious pot pie I've ever had in my life from a nearby cafe. I still day dream about it.

tamarar5 · May 2014

I was so sick and in so much pain after dd was born, I didn't eat for almost 24 hours (forced unmedicated birth, and 2nd degree episiotomy without any pain killers).

With DS, I was ravenous. DH picked us up a couple of vending machine sandwiches and then ran out for pizza. The next morning he brought me coffee and we had lousy hospital breakfast, followed by left over pizza.

jesuisfatiguee · May 2014

Y'all, I don't even remember the first 12-24 hours after DS was born. I mean, I sort of do... but very vaguely. I was by myself and hopped up on meds from my c/s (which I wish I'd been in my right mind enough to stop early on!), and I was just stoned. Blech.

I do recall most of the food I ate at the hospital, though, which was delicious. Not organic or anything, but really tasty. I was "lucky" to spend the Christmas before at that same hospital and they served some really awesome holiday-themed food. Definitely not your typical nasty cafeteria food.

holly321 · May 2014

The hospital has a nutrition room in the maternity ward. It has puddings, freezer meals and sandwiches. After I had ds, the nurse sent dh to get me a sandwich. It was about midnight and I hadn't eaten soon noon. He said they didn't have any left and brought me a pudding. The next morning, I passed out from lack of food. The nurse then brought me a delicious chicken salad sandwich my dear husband overlooked.

My hospital seems to have really good food. I accidentally got pancake syrup on both my kids heads the morning after they were born

musicalmama5 · May 2014

Aww thanks! I'm actually just seeing this now! I've been so insanely busy this spring and have had no time for TB. I had a specific question which is why I went on the AP board last week. I've lurked a bit here and there, but it's nice that you remembered me.

If things slow down a bit, you may see more of me!

musicalmama5 · May 2014

Wow, apparently I've been gone so long I forgot how to work this thing. That was supposed to be a reply to @je+suis=fatiguee 's shout-out. :P

It's ok, that's why I didn't post an entire call out thread for you - didn't want you to feel obligated or awkward or anything

Good to hear from you!
