Let it out people!

Eta - There's too many confessions to be contained in one day. At least that's how I'm consoling myself. :P

    I didn't even notice it wasn't Friday...in fact, I have woken every day this week thinking it was Friday. TIME IS MOVING SO F-ING slow I HATE IT!! IDK how I did this 41+ weeks last time. I haven't even made it to incomprehensible house size and I"m so done! I was trying to be all positive and change my perspective, things are easier with the baby in, but I think I'm done with that view point.

    So are we confessing or opinionating?
    FFC: I wasn't feeling well yesterday, listened to my body, slept, ds entertained himself without a TV. I felt a bit bad because I know he was totally bored with me sleeping- he was "reading" me stories for a while, my patient boy (DH works from home so there are two of us around if I do stuff like that). I have been contemplating just popping on a tv for him for the next 11 days so I don't have to deal with life more then the basic cooking and cleaning. I'm so grumpy. DH is damn lucky he reconsidered putting an air conditioner in our bed room last night- his original plan was not to- the tease just brought them all out of storage and stopped there, I mean REALLY?! I know they are heavy and he was hot, but damn, 30 extra pounds...life growing in me...have a heart. He was actually complaining his fingers were a little swollen last night OMG. Really?! Poor baby. I can't use my fingers (carpal tunnel) and the rest of my body swells every time it's over 70 degrees, get over it.

    UO: the best I can think of comes from Trolling Tues. with the FTM's that think they have a clue. They have no clue. When I was a FTM, I had been a teacher for 10 years (infant-HS music), and while I have some basic principles I tried and still try to follow, even those go out the window in the name of sanity as a FTM...it's an experience like NO other. Like the way my child is watching Rabbits while I Bump right now. That goes against everything I stand for...but ya know what, I'm so DONE right now!

    You may have a parenting philosophy, but when it comes to it, and you're desperate, you'll likely try everything in the book- even that which you swore you'd never do. IF there was any one size fits every parenting circumstance advice it would be to "be flexible" and keep going until you figure out what works, despite your opinions.

    My confession; I'm planning on telling DF I'm going to book a pedicure. I hate pedicures. I really just want an excuse to go sit at Starbucks and read a book while drinking a cold frappucino without DS (I haven't had a DS break since..... April? Not even 5 minutes. Nap times and bedtimes don't count. I'm talking 24/7 with this kid. I love him..... But....). If I just wanted a break, DF would find an excuse to come. If im getting a "pedicure", there will be no argument or tag alongs. I will paint my nails in the car if need be!
    You definitely need some quality down time!

    I'm due July 5th & of course DD could arrive any time. I haven't even got her little clothes ready to come home in. This is supposed to be my time to nest, organize & prepare. Then of course the sky falls in. I need to prep dang it!

    FFTHC 2 - this ^ is probably more of a whine than confession.

    I've been washing all the baby thing a in our regular detergent, not free-n-clear something something.

    @livelaughlove88‌ I don't think you are disgusting. I'm proud that you confessed. I'm too chicken to confess my pool peeing incident.

    Confession:
    I cannot stand the 7 year old I'm watching this summer. I'm convinced his parents are raising a serial killer. He spends all 8 hours that I'm with him either playing his crazy killer video games or describing to me how he would kill me, his parents, or his older brother. He gets GRAPHIC with his descriptions & exactly what he would use to kill us.
    The kid has serious problems that his parents don't seem to care about. They let him have a knife collection in his room!
    Bigger confession than not being able to stand a child: he really & truly terrifies me. I'm 28 years old and this 7 year old has me looking over my shoulder 24/7 because I'm afraid he's going to slit my throat.

    @livelaughlove88 That's what really worries me. I've tried talking to his parents about it. They just laugh & think he's being funny. There's nothing 'funny' about it- he has a serious temper. He's broken 2 flat screens by throwing things at them, among numerous other things, in the year I've known him.
    Its even more concerning that his grandmother works for DHS, lives across the street, is completely aware of his behavior and yet doesn't think he needs counseling (his school suggested it).

    Um...I think I would be making some calls.... There have been too many actual psychos in the news and people that knew them as kids say they wish they had recognized the signs. The knife collection wouldn't bother me so much with a responsible kid, but the detailed killing scenarios are a major red flag.
    I agree.  This sounds like a highly volatile situation.  I would remove myself immediately.  With all these horrible horrible tragedies that have been happening, there's always people who say they knew something like this would happen.  And it sounds like this is the point where something needs to happen with this poor kid.  I'm glad you've already taken steps to address it.

    Ok I will post this against my better judgement. So of course as a kid, I peed in pools before I knew better. Got older, realized that's gross, stopped doing it. Welllll several years ago I was night swimming and was totally by myself. Went in to the bathroom and there was no toilet paper. Wasn't gonna walk all the way home to pee when I wasn't done swimming so I made a snap decision to just go in a corner of the pool because chlorine and all that. Would it have made more sense to still pee in the toilet and just let the chlorine rinse me off? Yes, didn't think of that in time. Was it my proudest moment? Definitely not. Would I ever do it again? No, I have felt terrible about it ever since! And DH will not let me forget about it. He keeps threatening to tell people, so I said I would just confess first and take away his power! But I needed to test out the confession on you guys first.... Am I the most disgusting person alive for doing that?
    I still pee in the pool, or I used to when I was having a pool day and drinking. IDGAF. :)

    I've wanted to pee in the public pool that I've been taking DS to the past few weeks, but my pee is so yellow from my prenatals, it would be VERY noticeable if I did.  However, if I was drinking and in a private pool, yeah...i'd probably piss in there for sure. I think of all the times I've been at the lake, shitfaced, wading around in the party areas, pissing, and thinking how many other peoples piss that I'm walking in!   Totally disgusting and WT!!

    I unabashedly pee in the lake. Now that DD is potty trained we had to teach her to pee in the middle of the lake. I mean we are anchored out in the middle, where else are you going to go. We actually have a photo of her standing up in a float, with goggles and swim hat on hollering "I'm going tee tee in the lake!" and laughing hysterically.

    I'm pretty sure many many lakes are comprised of a lot of pee!

    @purplexdandelion his grandmother will be watching him the rest of the summer after LO arrives! I already regret agreeing to watch him, but they pay me really well. So much cute baby girl stuff to buy!
    (Edited because mobile cut me off)

    I wish there was someway to get him the help he clearly needs, but as long as his parents ignore his issues & allow him to be so violent & destructive- I don't think anything will change.

    I had BH all night. I feel like total shit, and i can't even stand without my belly getting so tight you can bounce a quarter off of it.

    So today, I took a 2 hour nap this morning and cancelled all the calls I could...but since I still have to do a few things for work, I'm not going to take a PTO day. But at least 50% of the day will Just be lying around drinking water with feet up and feeling like shit.

    I said I'd go get the mail but our driveway is really, really long so it's like a half-mile round trip and I'm too hot so I'm seriously considering not getting it and claiming I forgot.
    I'm a bad person.

    I know it isn't nice to make negative comments about someone's name choice, and so it was all I could do not to hijack another thread this week to try to talk two moms out of naming their kids the same really not good name.  But I just can't.let.it.go. 

    Sometimes there is a reason a name is unusual, like when it sounds so much like that of a dictator that your kid is going to have to spend their lives clarifying that no, they were not named after said dictator, but rather a dead rock star, and in the explanation, they'll say the full name of the dead rock star, and then have to explain "no, my name is not *dead-rock-star's-first-name*, it is *dead-rock-star's-last-name*.

    I LOVE that name (wanted it potentially for a girl).  I don't think that most people will automatically associate the name with your examples.

    What's the name??? Can someone puh-leeeeease tell? I can't think of many dictators or dead rock starts (besides Michael Jackson) today!

    Ennon-Lay, like the Beatle "John"
