Flame Free Thursday Confessions

northport6 · July 2014

Well, since we moved up UO, time to give FFTC a shot.

Let 'em rip.

anakah · July 2014

sometimes I imagine what it would be like if we only had the baby. I love the twins to death, but they are such a handful. I love the times when it's just me and baby hanging out doing stuff.

ameegee · July 2014

When it comes to NIP, strangers have actually been insanely kind to me. But people I know act weird. My MIL is super anti Breastfeeding apparently (she got really uncomfortable every time I nursed and later my BIL told me she used to bitch about people bfing.) and I've had a couple friends offer private spaces and blankets to me. Once was at a wedding. She told me she was sure I could use a dressing room or something. I didn't want to miss the wedding cause my bebe was hungry!

eggmankate · July 2014

I NIP when I need to, but it goes a lot quicker if we're in a quiet room because DD is scared that if she is feeding she'll miss out on all the other fun going on in the room....talk about major case of niplash.....

@eggmankate‌ "niplash" LOVE IT! It's LOs favorite thing to do, that and biting at the same time.

@SweetSouthernMomma08‌ I can agree with this, but mine was post-Han Solo

Also, I had a crush on

...which may be more of a UO.

northport6 · July 2014

FFTC: I'm waiting for someone to make a comment (I NIP without a cover every time) because I have my feminist speech ready to roll, but in seven months, nobody ever has. I LIVE IN TOO ENLIGHTENED A PLACE YOU GUYS.

Summer tip: the outdoor furniture section at Target is a super good place to sit and nurse. I've had to do it like four times.

lifesaverz · July 2014

This week I totally started thinking I wanted to try for another baby a lot sooner than we planned (we plan to start trying in about a year). I even talked to DH about it. We actually even considered it (I felt so crazy!) but ended up settling on out original plan.

pashedmotatoes · July 2014

@lifesaverz‌ We didn't have a plan really. $:\$ "> I was charting and timing and DH said eh the chances are low. I was weak... now I'm KU.... but at least I get to say I told you so.

sleepymonkey · July 2014

@SweetSouthernMomma08 - the 2nd gif is Steve Perry from Journey. If I remember correctly that is from the "Oh Sherrie" video circa 1984. Yes I am old.

canicksmom · July 2014

@SweetSouthernMomma08‌ yes, @sleepymonkey‌ is correct. I meant that I agree with you on Bowie, but that crush was after my (forever!) crush on Solo.

Kermode61581 · July 2014

If my FIL lived anywhere other than calgary we would not be going to see him on vacation. But since he does and I love Calgary we are. I don't like my FIL, he was a shitty dad and is turning out to be a shitty grandpa. He hasn't seen dd#1 since she was 1 and all he could spare is a couple of hours and he has never seen dd#2.

KFiori1 · July 2014

DS and DD1 had a sleep over at my parents' last night. I am leaving soon to go get them and I don't wanna! I don't get much alone time with DD2 and it's just been so nice and quiet here with 2 less kids needing me. And I haven't had to hear DS and DD1 fighting!

leahraewku · July 2014

There are sexy young construction workers putting a new roof on next door. I may or may not have opened all the curtains and plopped myself down on the couch to enjoy the view for a while.

sleepymonkey · July 2014

@SweetSouthernMomma08 - I was suzalie. I was never a very active poster so I'm sure most people don't remember me. I'm trying to post more now that I actually have a work PC that has internet access (and we're really slow at work lately)!

fauxvegan · July 2014

So I may have eaten almost a third of this on my own in the last 5 days...my tummy hurts and I'm nauseous now

@fauxvegan that cake is bomb! Slice it up and freeze it to give your belly a break?

It's almost completely gone. Only 2 slices left X_X

greenbeanqueen · July 2014

I confess that I always wear a cover when I NIP. Not because I am worried about what other people think but because that is what I am comfortable with. I am just personally not comfortable with the idea that my nipples may become visible. It's a personal issue. I would never judge anyone who chose to NIP uncovered. I just cant.

Forgive me Bumpies, for I have sinned.
I confess that I recently went to..... Hobby Lobby. $:\$ ">
I have repented and considered burning my merchandise. It will not happen again. Ever. It was prior to the ruling, but I already knew they were that bigoted corporation and the case was in court. I should have been wiser. There will be no next time. I have broken up our relationship, since they are an individual and all.
Please forgive me for my transgression.

Now the question is, do I share my love for yarn and crafts with Michael's a masculine entity, or JoAnn's, a female and therefore lesser entity??

How about amazon - just an awesome entity

74dragonfly · July 2014

I am a little jealous of the pregnant ladies. I had my tubes tied and don't regret it. But after spending almost 3 years to get this baby (2+ years of IF, two losses etc) My life was all about ttc. And that is done. And my baby is growing too fast.
I'm also jealous of those who are getting PG so easily. It is something only those who have had IF understand.

Caitlinh27 · July 2014

In an attempt to put more $$ in savings each month DH decided we should write down every single thing we spend money on and categorize our spending. Though I agree that this is a good idea, I liked it better when he didn't know how much money I was spending on what items.

bty19 · July 2014

We don't get birth control covered in Canada. Well, at least not in BC. Gotta pay out of your own pocket.

bty19 · July 2014

My confession - I always cover up when I NIP because I hate my boobs, not because I think I "need" to cover up for anyone else.

ugoglencoco · July 2014

I haven't shaved anything but my armpits in like 2 weeks. And it is summer and I have been wearing shorts, and IDGAF. Poor DH, though.

Listening to this song now at work!

Creepy

BoothBaby · July 2014

I disagree with the Hobby Lobby decision, but will still shop there.

We use a LOT of scrapbook supplies for our business, and they have such killer deals compared to Michaels/Joanns, better sticker selections, etc. The $$ trumps the morals in this case.

My confession is that it's almost 1pm and I'm still in my PJs. I keep telling myself to go get dressed so that kiddo and I can go do something once he wakes up from his nap, but I can't seem to tear myself away from the computer....

sleepymonkey · July 2014

I put myself on a "spending diet" recently because I have been spending way too much money and I was discussing with DH how proud I am of myself last night. Then I went to the mall at lunchtime today. 2 pairs of shoes that I don't truly need and I'm not so proud of myself anymore. Curse you cute shoes on sale!

ReggieLou13 · July 2014

I have mastitis.

FFTC. I'm putting on that I feel a little worse than I really do.

Chick-Fil-A is just plain delicious and I like that they have to say "my pleasure" when I say thank you.

The hobby lobby issue has been so distorted everywhere I read about it that I don't even know what is BS and what is true anymore. Personally I don't think they need to cover plan B and IUD because they cover other birth control options. No one is denying them birth control. Andplusalso you can still obtain birth control without insurance for relatively little money. I fail to see the difference between this issue and that my employer's insurance covers a double electric pump and other's get nothing for being a breastfeeding mother. I know they did it based on a moral conviction, but the brass tacks are the same to me. Some things are covered, some are not.

You do realize that there are women who cannot take hormonal birth control and rely on IUDs right? IUDs are not something you can just grab from Walgreens for little money.

mamaj1220 · July 2014

Our hobby lobby just opened in town and I have never been inside... it's just after years of Michael's and JoAnns I tend to forget it is there.
My confession I really don't want to go to my family party tomorrow. Everyone is so excited about if but I just don't want to spend the day with people in LO face and asking me 9 million questions. And calling him "fat" yes he's at the higher end of both height and weight that does not make him fat it makes him healthy. And all the outdated and wrong advice I just don't have the patience anymore.

And Iran hands it out for free. IT'S A TERRORIST PLOT!

We don't have to pay for Dr and hospital visits so it's a trade off. Some employers have group insurance (like my SOs) that cover prescriptions, dental and vision.

anakah · July 2014

I'm off work today but I still dropped the kids off at daycare. And instead of going home and washing bottles, I went to target and bought way too much stuff that I don't really need because, target. I am so behind on washing LO's bottles that I am currently pumping into the little 2 oz bottles that we got from the hospital and emptying them into one of his sippy cups whenever the bottles fill up. I also got too distracted bumping that I didn't notice one of the bottles was full until it spilled onto my pants...

I haven't decided if I'm going to continue shopping at Hobby Lobby yet but DH has put a ban on eating at Chik-fil-a. I really liked that they had grilled chicken nugget kids meals there for the kids.

So the most effective, easiest form of BC for me would be the copper IUD, which, as I understand it, is not covered if someone works at Hobby Lobby. According to a quick google search, OOP cost for Paragard is over $1600.
----
I broke all the quotes...but not getting into the hobby lobby debate. Just a random paragard PSA I guess?
If for some reason you ever have to know-----
I went directly through paragard to pay for mine. And I had it inserted at planned parenthood. 500 for the iud and insertion fee of like 125ish. Paragard did a payment plan with me. I sent them money each month that I could manage.

Along the same lines, dealing with Paragard directly is the way to go. I had to have removed for medical reasons after about 2 weeks. They refunded my money 100%.
I think they refund everything paid if it's removed within 180 days. But, there has to be a medical reason, not just "I changed my mind."

If your daycare is like ours, you don't get a refund if you keep them home for a day. If DH or I happen to take a day off, E goes to daycare, because we're paying for it regardless.

yeah, we're paying for it regardless but sometimes I feel bad about it.
