It's 2:30am and I'm delirious, but I DO remember my confession!!

I've been wearing the exact same outfit (day & night) since Wednesday morning.

Your turn!

ladygali · August 2014

It's 2:40 and I have yet to go to bed. LO, get it together.

BiggerinRealLife · August 2014

My baby is an awesome night sleeper.... And my night owl tendencies and off and on insomnia mean I take little advantage of it. It makes me hate my life just a little bit.

BiggerinRealLife · August 2014

Ooh! Also? I still have to have a lot of cocktails for the sex not to hurt. Which makes me forget my pledge to never, ever have sex with my daughter in the room. #ThingsISworeIdNeverDoBeforeIHadABaby

I took books from the library without checking them out.

We picked out the books before story time, my 3 year old wa super hungry after so we hurried to the car, and I realized as I was strapping them in that the books were in my bag. I was not about to take both kids out if their seats and back I there, so we took the books home. I'll be careful with them and return them next week. Oops

I have turned into one of those unsolicited advice-giving "during my pregnancy and since the baby was born" women who I dislike and even complained about on here, when I recently found out a friend is pregnant. I even sent her an email with "baby things I can't live without" as the title. I need an good slap in the face.

NavyMrsOT · August 2014

I told DH I had an upset stomach so he would watch LO for awhile and I just sat in the bathroom reading.

JWest07 · August 2014

My brothers family and my family are planning a beach weekend trip for next weekend. I initiated the planning, but now I'm just not feeling it. I have my fingers crossed that the weather forecast for that area starts to look really bad so I have a legitimate excuse not to go.

Serenla · August 2014

I've confessed this one before but I'm about to do it again, I'm going to go school shopping at my office later. Free supplies yo.

ksulli · August 2014

@macgrs I get those for a Canadian guy from his mom. They have kids not too far in age from DD1, so it's actually quite entertaining. She probably thinks her son is an ass that never checks/returns emails. But, if she's anything like my mom, she also tells him the same things off the phone, and he's not missing out on anything.

@NavyMrsOT‌ we're going to re-do the master bath soon, and then it will be totally worth spending time in there. Putting your excuse on file for later.

My FFFC: I'm off next week, and met a major milestone 2w ago, so I've done almost nothing in the office this week and I'm super happy about it.

Ashleypixie · August 2014

H always seems to think he knows EVERYTHING about the baby. It's obnoxious because most days she is still asleep when he leaves for work and is down for the night by the time he gets home but according to him she's a "daddy's girl." So on Tuesday he had to take Quinn in for her four month appointment. I purposely told him absolutely nothing about her eating or feeding schedule, or what she's doing developmentally, just so he can feel stupid. He needed to be knocked down a peg or two. I'm going to be out of town all weekend and I hope she gives him hell.

hpanabaker · August 2014

I just figured out how to add a gif this week....I also don't know what gif stands for.

UnofficiallyLO · August 2014

I cringe when people say "month year old". My SO is one of those people.

Alissadsuggs · August 2014

My brother is getting married in a couple if weeks and I'm trying hard to find a reason not to go. Taking 3 kids 6 hours away for his 2nd wedding to a girl that "hates" kids that I've never met by myself ( H can't make it) sounds like a horror movie.

pineconey · August 2014

I don't mind having sex with LO in the room... Or leaving him in another room (awake) when we are fooling around.

hpanabaker · August 2014

I have another. I almost forgot about it, but it's been sitting in my mind all week.

I don't like that DH doesn't use manners in front of LO. I could just be super sensitive to it, but if you burp or fart it's customary to say 'excuse me'. I don't want LO to think that it's okay not to say 'excuse me' because Dad doesn't.

BGGP9196 · August 2014

The zipper on my jeans is broken, but they fit me so well that I still wore them to work today. I just chose to pair it with a longer top

My 3yo has impeccable manners- she lets a silent fart out and we hear, "excuse me mommy". We're now trying to teach her that it's okay to be discreet.

We used to joke that DD1 was Canadian because when she was first learning to talk she'd say sorry for eeeverything, like even if anything touched her. Arm brushed the couch? Sorry! Dog walked in front of her? Sorry! I accidentally bonk her head on the car door putting her in the carseat? Sorry!

I have that problem, I apologize for everything...however, I am Canadian.

Roufi · August 2014

I am watching my 7yr old niece for the second of two Fridays. She's sweet and smart and wants to play and be helpful with Shea, but she is DRIVING ME UP THE WALL. I just want to go hide in the bathroom all day. She talks sooooooo much in a squeaky, slightly whiny voice and is constantly grabbing at LO.

My FFFC: kids that didn't burst from my body like a stripper from a cake annoy me. Even the cute ones.

My SIL does another form of this and posts about her daughter's 5 month birthday. A birthday is a specific day once a year! Also, I get annoyed when people celebrate a month anniversary. Anniversary, by definition, means year! By all means, celebrate, but don't call it an anniversary! I'm all about celebrating milestones, but I also appreciate proper use of the English language

I hope her supply tanks.

I think far too much value is put on EBF. Is BM best? Sure! But, formula is great stuff. If a person is worried about putting bad stuff in their child I think solids should be a bigger concern. Regulations on formula are extremely strict. I know lots of mom's who put a lot of pressure (and stress) on me to EBF, but they are the same folks who drive their 2 year old through McDonald's once a week.

MissWhis · August 2014

A few weekends ago we decided to beat the heat and head out to the coast. We decided we were going the night before we left and got online and booked what looked like a nice hotel room with an ocean view balcony, two person jacuzzi tub and other amenities. We figured the room better be nice since we'd be stuck in it pretty early once our LO went to bed for the night.

We arrived, my husband went inside to check in, and that's when we discovered no children under 12 were allowed! It was a $200 fine for bringing kids on the property (also for storing raw seafood in your mini fridge??!). We smuggled our baby and all her gear into the room and she didn't make a peep the whole time.

So my confession? I'm a baby smuggler and a rule breaker!

4 month old - 4 month year old
My SO, friend and a few people on here have said it and I'm like what? No, that's extra.

I have no idea how many "weeks" LO is anymore. I can't keep track.

I think once your baby turns 1 month, you should start counting by months. Same for years, when your kid turns 1 year old, switch to years. Nobody wants to do the math on if your child is 32 weeks or 28 months.

I agree to an extent, but there is a huge difference between a 13 month old and a 20 month old, so just saying 1 year doesn't really cut it for certain situations. Also, I stopped counting weeks at 3 months, but we talke about puppies as 12 weeks old, so why wouldn't we talk about babies that way?

In these scenarios I would just round up or down. A stranger at the supermarket doesn't give a shit if your kid is 20 months or 18 months. Just say a year and a half. And major eyerolls to people who say 23 months instead of almost 2 or what have you. Let it go, they're not an infant anymore.

I agree. It took me some time to adjust to speaking in terms of years though, so I often used months without even thinking about it. It was about 50/50 whether I'd use years or months I think. DD was a preemie, and in general they are considered "caught up" to their age by two years old. Prior to her turning two years old I always had to think of her in terms of months so that I could easily subtract 2-3 months from her actual age to have a better idea about her development. I was slow to adjust from weeks to months for the same reason.

I feel like most people say the months up to two years. I don't mind it up until that point, and I'm pretty sure that's what I did with DD (although at a certain point, I started saying "oh she'll be 2 in February").

I changed B's diaper at the gate at the airport.

...a friend asked if I could do the ALS ice bucket challenge since I was breastfeeding and I told her no.

Ashleypixie · August 2014

I snort bath salts

Ashleypixie · August 2014

I tend to go straight for the heart

smushi · August 2014

I get all excited when people comment on how big/happy/smiley/alert LO is for his age. I tend to think medical personnel just do it as good bedside manner, but I still give a little self cheer. I know, the developmentalist side of me knows he's just a classified 'easy baby', but the behaviorist side of me thinks, Oh yeah, I'm awesome at life. It's even more validating when we meet other babies his age or older, who are smaller and still in the less alert stage.

Horn tooted.

nhermie · August 2014

I have a large geographic territory for my job. I have one counterpart that likes to infringe on the edges....problem is that I grew up on those fringes. I'm all polite and stuff face to face and should be like, oh we'll as long as the company has a win it doesn't matter but in my head I'm all "stay the frack outta my counties! You want a turf war man?!?!" I'm grabby.

Bluebird2318 · August 2014

When I was first dating my ex (the guy that I dated from 18-21), I hung out at his place pretty regularly, but I actually preferred checking out his roommate. Honestly, I think that mentality lasted for quite awhile.

Bonus: That ex was married at the time. They were separated (to the extent that she went back home to Brazil even), but I found out later that they had possibly been trying to work things out around the same time that I started seeing him.

He was a douche anyway. I have no idea why I dated him as long as I did. ETA: No, wait. Yes I do. I lacked self-esteem.

I think of bf v ff and compare it to fruit. Bm is an apple you buy at the farmers market down the street. It's all home grown n junk. Formula is like buying an apple at the grocery store. No matter where the hell it came from the fruit is still good for you.

We are exclusive bm but it still rubs me when people talk about how great bm is vs formula. Maybe 20 years ago there was a bigger difference, but they have their shit figured out about it.....except for the shit part..... (With ds1 when we started formula he was constantly constipated...bm poo was so much easier for him)

Ashleypixie · August 2014

I get pissy now when people don't tell me I look really good for just having a baby. I never believe them when they do but I'm over halfway where I want to be and that needs to be acknowledged.

deidremaria · August 2014

Since we are talking about our despicable sexual pasts I'll go. I had a year long affair with my boss at the time when I was 19. We were both in relationships and I was proposed to (by my bf at the time) and accepted. We called off the engagement about a month later. I think the worst of it is that 4 years later i don't regret it. I don't think I ever will. The relationship was unhealthy anyway

I was dating a guy and after seeing him naked I stopped taking his calls. Lied to him for awhile about why I couldn't see him. Then I started dating DH and never called the other guy back.

I kind of need to know what it was about his naked self that sent you packing...

I started CIO tonight. Baby A fell asleep after about 25 minutes. I'm still watching & listening to Baby B thrash around and scream on the monitor at 47 minutes.

They are 5.5 months. (I don't know how many weeks.
