  The first thing I thought of when my pregnant friend told me her due date? "I hope she doesn't go late (and maybe even goes a little bit early) because I don't want her giving birth on N's birthday".

  More of a vent than a confession - DH came down with a stomach bug on Wednesday, and I have lost any capacity for sympathy.  About 2 months ago, we both came down with some type of bug/food poisoning, and while DH slept all day, I had to get up every couple hours to pump, answer work emails, etc., and then I had to take care of LO once she was home from day care (feeding, bathing, putting down at night, getting up with her in the morning, etc.).  Now he's sick again, and all he does is lie around complaining about how bad he feels.  Meanwhile, he's sleeping/in bed 12+ hours a night (and probably most of the day since he's been staying home from work), and I'm caring for LO 100% and the dog about 75% (when I'm home - I work FT as well).  I think I'm resentful because no matter how crappy I feel, I suck it up and care for LO, but he seems to have no problem leaving everything to me whether I'm sick or not.

  I have one.
  
  I have resulted to pre-mastication this week when feeding LO. Not full on Alicia silverstone style, but I grind his chicken and other meat with my front teeth and then put it on his plate.
  
  Lately, he will only eat if I feed him and it makes me nervous when he bites off too much food. I could probably mash it with a fork, but I'm eating my own dinner and I find it easier.

  Not really a confession. I'll add how I have to suppress the strong urge to smack people when they can't accept the fact that LO is still a sparkler

Or if we're driving somewhere, I always make DH pull over. I'd rather pee in the woods than pee in some sketchy portapottie at a rest stop or a gross gas station.

  I PROMISE this isn't to start any shit - you gals are all awesome.  :-)

  
  

  At 34 (35 in October), I'm extremely jealous of all the 20-something SAHMs.  Last week I stayed home with DD for a day and yes, we had many rocky spots, but it was amazing to be home with her.  I have Tuesday off with her already and I can't wait - the ILs want me to come visit, I will likely back out of that one, ALL MINE!  DH and I have always said that we wish we knew each other sooner in life - and I think this is another good example why.  We were together 2 years when we got engaged, 3.5 years when we got married - so we said we'd enjoy married year #1 together and then start TTC.  Thankfully, it happened immediately. We're not spring chickens and would like another LO in the future.

  
  

  I wish I could say its cause we didn't have our shit together - that's only part of it.  CT is an impossible place to have a home with 1 income at this age...I don't have 1 friend who gets to SAH.  I enjoy my job enough but I'd enjoy my time with DD more.  Her sleep still sucks at 10+ months and my guilty conscience kicks in and says "maybe if you were home with her everyday she'd have a better clue how to sleep".  The other part of it that sucks is the come the weekend, so many errands to do and things to get done, our special time together seems so minimal - I think that's a reason why I see myself struggling when she weans.  I know I'm not the only working Mom to think this.

  
  

  OK that's all, just my pity party.

  
  

  But seriously, BRAVO to all the SAHMs and especially the younger ones...you have planned really well to make it work!  I'm just a chick without a clue.  ;-)

  LO had a rough nite last night. Up at 2, didn't go back down till 4. And about 90 mins of that was some form of crying. Even when I was lying in bed w him--still crying. It was horrible.
  
  The only thing that calmed him was big block singsong. 2 min short cartoon songs on YouTube.
  
  So I put him in the swing, set up the iPad to play all 75 mins of big block, placed it on the stool in front of him. And laid down. I felt bad after 30 mins, and I really thought he was asleep. Nope. He was quiet but happily watching YouTube. I really can't believe I just used YouTube to attempt to put M down. I am getting desperate and sleep deprived.

  @ludali, I could have written that word-for-word. I confess that I had to force myself to stop reading the SAHM Check-In threads, because all it did was make me jealous and resentful. It's an ugly way to feel, and I don't know why I torture myself. I met DH at 29, and I wish we had met a decade ago. We could possibly make it work with one salary, but we'd never live comfortably, have a good retirement, or be able to help give our kids a decent start. Plus, I have the (mis)fortune to have a job I really like and enjoy.
  
  You are not alone, sister. Last weekend, I couldn't get Alex to take a nap, and the guilt was too overwhelming. It makes sense that I don't know how to put him down for a nap, since I only see him for two hours a day. I feel like I don't even know how to care for my own son.
  
  And I know it's not easy to be a SAHM either, and I admire all the women who do it (in more ways than one!). Wish the world were easier for all moms, whether they work or stay home.

  Confession 1: Besides daycare, this will be the first time I've left LO in the care of someone other than DH. (Hope he goes to bed for her!)

  Confession 2: I'm kind of bummed that it gets dark so late because this would have been the perfect opportunity for some good old fashioned car sex.

  I have a terrible head cold and am constantly blowing my nose. Since I work in a hospital pharmacy employees can use any medication that's over the counter. We routinely give nurses ibuprofen and tums. I asked my coworkers and they all agreed that I could take one of those itty bitty tubes of lanolin for the cracked skin on my nose. I showed it to my male coworker and said "I'm going to use this" and he turned bright red. Then I had to specify it was for my nose.
