FFFC

Thank god it's FF because my confession is kinda bad.

I don't understand how people still morn grandparents, aunts,uncles like 15+ years later. A parent I can understand, but my grandmother died about 20yrs now and I miss her, but I don' t remember the date or take time to write out a fb post about it.

Today is one of those days when I want to run away. I have a nasty sinus infection, and am not sleeping well. I am exhausted and feel horrible. Of course, DD decided to wake up at 5:30 this morning. And does DH see any of this as a reason to step it up and help me out a bit more? Of course not. I told him this morning that I want to be teleported to a tropical island where it is ok for pregnant women to drink, and where there are no whiny toddlers who wake up their sick mothers at 5:30 am. Just for 48 hours, that's all. Maybe 72. Why DD? Why do you insist on getting up so effing early when your mother is sick and not sleeping well already? Ok, vent over.

prncebride I totally agree, or what I don't particularly care for is when people always ask for prays on FB for everything, like please pray for poor buck our dog he stumped his toe this morning

Mine is I am getting a little frustrated with everyone babying my child. She goes to DC full time, and the ladies that watch her are super nice but they never let those kids even try to fend for themselves. And my mother, all DD has to do is put her arms out and my mom will scoop her right up.

I love my child and give her lots of attention, but I do NOT do everything for her, and try to let her figure out things for herself. Lately she has been acting overly needy and I'm wandering if it's a phase or if these people are exacerbating the situation.

I'm looking forward to a long weekend without SS12 (who's going camping with his aunt & uncle). He's such a big help with Killian when he's here but when Killian's asleep or playing with Daddy, I'm always struggling to find ways to keep SS busy. We don't let him play video games or have his cell phone at our house and he's not allowed to sit and watch TV during the day unless is cold & rainy outside. When we tell him to go outside and play in the field or the orchard he'll ride his bike across the neighborhood and sit on the sidewalk out of sight... Like just sit there... and do nothing...

I grew up out in the country and spent so much time running around our pasture, in & out of the barn, etc. I had imaginary foes to battle, wild critters to watch, piles of dirt became Mt Everest to be conquered. DH was the same way. It came so easy to us that we struggle to understand why, as a healthy boy, he just doesn't seem to appreciate going outside & getting dirty. Its like he has no imagination at all! Some times I'm not sure he even has a fully functioning brain in his skull. (I completely blame his BM and her genetically-very-low-IQ family - prejudice and awful I know but I've watched them for years now and its about as deep as a kiddie pool)

Ok, back to work and enjoying my weekend, outside, in the dirt, with Killian and DH who both appreciate hours spent playing in the mud & running through sprinklers.

I agree with this whole heartedly. One of my coworkers lost a son a few years ago, and he's taken that day off every year since to visit the grave site and spend the day with his family. A parent or a child, yes, that will always be significant. But, I have a friend on FB that posts close to weekly about someone that's passed, whether it's the anniversary of their passing, their birthday, their wedding anniversary, or some other occasion that they'd celebrate together. It actually seems kind of unhealthy to concentrate so much on people that have passed from your life.

Mine was that earlier this morning, I totally encouraged our admin to go out for donuts and bagels since we had some visitors coming in this morning. Really, I just wanted a bagel. I didn't end up offering any to the visitors either.

Oh, and this isn't much of a confession, but venting... My sister sent Isa some outfits that aren't our style and are less modest than we dress (shirts that show her belly, etc.). I guess my mom told her that I wouldn't like them before she mailed them, and she's all bent out of shape about it. I'm torn between lying about it (Oh, thank you - we love them) and not.

@singlemom31, I'd personally would just tell them you love them and if you think a top is too short you'll put a onsie under it. Tell her you'll make sure they get worn.

SingleMom31 · May 2014

@prncebride - The more that I thought about it, the more that I can't say anything. Besides, maybe one of the spirit days at daycare will give her an occasion to dress like Daisy Duke.

(That's how I made use of the outfit that she got this winter that would be best titled: Veil Snow Princess.)

I think people who buy carseats from someone they don't know are irresponsible! Just because they say the seat has never been involved in an accident you don't know the history of the seat. I keep seeing carseats for sale in some garage sale groups I belong to on FB and I cringe every single time I see it. Now, my sister got me a travel system from a girlfriend as a baby shower gift. She used it for less than a year and we both knew the history of the carseat. I would never EVER buy one from some stranger, just because it's a good deal and they said it was safe.

I think it depends on how close you were..my Papaw as like a 2nd father to me...now, i don't blow FB up with posts about it, but I do know the date and time he passed away and there are lots of times when DD does something and I think "Papaw would have loved to see that"

My FFFC is that this is my FW and I have been subtly convincing DH for alone time...we're both on the same page about TFAS but to me, it's such a mood killer to be like "I should O in the next couple of days, we have to do it at least every other night!!"

myskyegirl · May 2014

IDK, I was extremely close to my grandmother, I woke up crying before the phone even rang from the hospital to tell us that she had passed, but honestly I couldn't tell you what day that was. Maybe I'm cynical.

@kescalera‌ I would not have survived at your house at any age and I most definitely have a fully functioning brain. I didn't play video games or have a cellphone at 12 but if my mom told me to play in an orchard or field without friends my age I would have been pissed. I agree kids should not spend all day watching tv or playing video games all but I kind of felt bad for your step son reading your post. Maybe it's because I've never lived in the country, but I can't imagine what I would do in a field or orchard with nobody my age to play with.

ETA - This isn't meant as a flame. Just having never lived in the country it's hard for me to imagine.

JessAnnJ · May 2014

My confession is I woke DH up for some action at 3 AM. This is probably the only side effect of pregnancy that he enjoys.

kescalera · May 2014

@JessAnnJ - no flame felt - he does have friends his age in the neighborhood and at school but he doesn't ever want to engage them without some serious pushing. If they come to our house asking for him he's like lightening out the door but he'll never go to their house & ask if they want to play. If we invite a group over with kids his age he ignore them & hangs out with the adults just watching. Apparently he's the complete opposite at his BMs house and in school. Its just strange and frustrating.
