Spill yo guts.

likeanoldtimemovie · September 2014

I'm not a very good friend. I can be really flakey and I'm terrible at keeping in touch with people.

As a result, I don't have as many close friends as I would like, but it's all my fault. And being a flake is a hard habit to break. (So says Dr. Seuss)

Arnegard · September 2014

When everyone was all over Hav for her diet coke obsession, I would drink about 64 oz of Propel Zero a day. I never said a word because I knew my addition was equally as bad. I am proud to say that since we vacationed in July, I haven't touched the stuff. I now add cucumber or lime slices to my water instead.

After school drop off today, I am off to meet girl friends for my first kid free coffee date. I am so looking forward to seeing them, not that it is a at a status symbol place or anything.

Inspired by yesterday's UO: I seriously considered looking up the pics of Jennifer Lawrence, but then decided I'd feel like too much of a creep because they were in her private stash. I have zero issues looking at nudies of celebs if they sent them to someone, because once they leave your control, they're fair game. I have Scarlett Johanssen's saved on my computer because really, ScarJo is damn sexy.

Yesterday at drop off, Lydia's teacher told me that she is such a sweet girl. I totally gushed inside and thought that was so nice!! Why is this confession-worthy? Cuz yesterday was the second day of school. I know that there's no way the teacher could know Lydia after only one day with her and yet I took it as a totally legit compliment and was so proud of my kid!!

I fell down the stairs last night. DH and I just got done DTD and my legs were seriously so numb and sore. Apparently, I should've used the handrail. X_X

catycate · September 2014

I agree, @Kimbus22‌ . I am going back to work bc I hate being at home full time with 2. With one, there was still time to do me. With 2, I just can't get off this roller coaster of laundry, cleaning, playing. Rinse repeat. I almost cried when the lady at early intervention told me it would be 2 weeks before I could start. And this is AFTER DS has been in 2 day a week preschool.:( I feel so bad but I am dying to go back to work.

JMC11511 · September 2014

Inspired by yesterday's UO. If we have a second I would really love to have a girl. I'm scared that if we end up with a second boy, I will be initially disappointed and feel guilty forever.

caybeh · September 2014

I was super anal and I'll just say it, crazy when DS was a baby about all things baby. Now with DD, I'm much more relaxed about pretty much everything. I'm annoyed at myself at how crazy I was. Poor DH. He would suggest how I could do things differently or whatever and I was so stubborn and would get easily offended at what he was suggesting.

likeanoldtimemovie · September 2014

Another: I'm a stepmama and love my two step kids like they are my own. Their mom is incredible and she and I actually hang out on our own, text, etc. She calls me their second mama and thanks me for loving them so much.

Confession: now that I have a child of my "own", I can honestly say that I don't think I could ever be as welcoming to another mother figure in my daughter's life. As a stepmom, I should feel differently, but I don't. God forbid if something happened between DH and me because I just don't think I could handle it at all and definitely not with the grace/love my step kids' mom does.

I like the Dallas cowboys cheerleading show "making the team"

Is it on? I love that show! As an added FFFC, my favorite football team is the Dallas Cowboys. Haters gonna hate.

penguingrrl · September 2014

My life is so much less stressful now that both girls are in full day school. We drop the girls off, go straight to the gym, come home, I feed Drew lunch then put him down for his nap and he's rarely back awake before we leave for school pick up. I know I should be enjoying one on one time with him, but having him nap and having time to do housework then just relax for a bit during the day is glorious! I haven't had daytime time to myself during the week since Julia stopped napping over 4 years ago.

lyingliarlies · September 2014

With all the posts this week about having 2 kids and figuring out naps and bedtime, I realized that I will never have that. If I got pregnant now, my kids would be 4 years apart. While I can now see some positives to this, it's hard to come to terms with having this age gap when I was hoping for more like 2 years *if* we have a 2nd. I really feel like ds needs a sibling but the older he gets the harder is it to think about having another. How the fuck can I feel so confused about this.

I feel this way too, but I think it will be ok. It all works out in the end!

My confession is that I hate Disney haters. This is brought to you by my brother and his google+ friends. They all got on this "my kid hates Disney the most" bragging one-upmanship thing the other week, and I wanted to stab somebody. You are not cool for teaching your kid to hate Disney. You are not cool for teaching your kid to parrot you. You are just as bad as the Disney lovers that you are mocking. You are a snob. And you are probably teaching your kids to be snobs too. My brother included, he was always one of those people, even as a kid, that would claim to hate things that other people like just because. Now he's friends/coworkers with a bunch of people like that and sometimes I can't stand to be around them.

Geicogecko · September 2014

People ask me if DD knows there's a baby in my belly or if she's excited to be a sister. I say uh no. It makes me feel guilty that they are going to be closer together than we ever planned and feel like an idiot for accidentally getting pregnant after stopping breastfeeding. Soo @lyingliarlies I feel like this is the opposite of your confession.

I never wanted my children to be 4 - 5 years apart. At the maximum I said 3...and now here we are and it looks like at a minimum it would 4 years. Also, I am starting to worry about the factor my age is going to play into all of this. I'm a few years away from 35 but I do feel like even though I'm super active I am tired more and worry how that's going to increase for ME as I get older. I know this doesn't apply to everyone....i'm just stating for me.

Yes I share that same concern. I need sleep now more than ever and have no idea how I would deal with the newborn months again (and ds was a pretty good sleeper, with phases of poor sleep, I know it could be much more stressful. ) I turned 35 in the spring.

Love Making the Team! Hate the Cowboys.

There is a girl on my BMB professing her love to Parenting and saying how the board makes her a better parent...I just can't. It's like she's reading a whole other board than the one I've read in the past. I mean, they can be funny as she, but it's making her better at meal planning, parenting, etc? Whut?

Geicogecko · September 2014

My boss and coworker are 100% having an affair. If it hasn't gotten physical it's sure as hell emotional. The boss who for my first baby asked me not to take 12 weeks please. He gave me an "I need more from you" pep talk which is pretty insane (GRANTED I have time to day time bump but trust me when I tell you that labor day wknd was my first wknd or day off since july 4). Anyways I found out they're out of town today, for fun, and I'm SO tempted to blow the whistle!

ababymaybe · September 2014

I had to ban ipad/TV for the rest of the day after 3 year old threw a tantrum over it (I was letting him watch daniel tiger while I ate breakfast; I wanted to move him upstairs with the iPad so I could get dressed and he freaked out).

The FFFC part is that it probably bothered me more than him. We don't do a ton of TV but sometimes I need to get shit done. Now I have no idea how
I will cook dinner.

We stayed home this morning so I could clean, since we have family coming in tomorrow. Instead I noticed that a friend had deleted her fb account. Texted her to see if she was ok and it turns out that her husband just found out about her affair.

I just sent her a text of everything I've been holding back for a year (when she told me about it, I pretty much stopped contacting her.) Needless to say, no housework has been done. I am angry and heartbroken for the innocent spouses who just had their lives screwed over.

JMC11511 · September 2014

I'm ok with being hated for being a Cowboys fan. *shrug*

My confession is that yesterday my Mom came to pick up our car seat and PNP (L is spending the night there tonight). When she walked in L whined and didn't want to give her a hug. I know it made her feel bad. He usually really loves going to his grandparents house/seeing them. But he's been super clingy the last week or so. I have been prepping him for going to their house this evening and he whines every time I tell him. She will be getting him up from nap (we will already be gone), and I'm worried he's going to cry. The confession is that I worry about this every time and it always turns out fine.

I could not care less about football and have also never danced...I usually watch the show while eating cookies

Or cookie dough....

Speaking of cookie dough....
FFFC #2
I made a batch of choc chip cookies last week but only baked 1 tray. The rest are scooped out and in the freezer. I eat a cookie dough ball everyday!

My confession is I dropped my favorite coffee mug and when it broke I cried like a baby. Damn PMS.

raraavis28 · September 2014

Another one: it's 95 degrees and I'm in skinny jeans bc my legs are too hairy for shorts. I don't know if this makes me lazy, vain, or a glutton for punishment....maybe all three?

I had the best ever sex dream last night about Gordon Ramsey. I keep smiling today, it was that good lol! I can't really remember it but hopefully he didn't call me a fvcking donkey or something. The man seems like a tyrant lol!

Only two pages. Hmm. Someone needs to contribute something flameworthy.

Here, this ought to go over well: I already bought both of the boys their Halloween costumes from the Disney store because I didn't want them to sell out and I wanted to be done with it early. That was two weeks ago, and today they're 25% off X( . Their price adjustment policy is within seven days and they give you a gift card toward a future purchase, but since I'm well within the return window and I can return in store, I'm considering ordering them again and then returning the first set. I'm sure that's not very ethical of me, but I'm thinking of doing it anyway.

Ugh. Well, I didn't get the job I thought I did because the background check came back with a job I omitted on my app (I was fired), from 10 years ago. But today MIL sent me a "congrats" card and now I feel like a loser. FFC, I'm not sure I'm going to correct her, crossing my fingers Ill get something else between now and the next time the subject comes up? L-)

I'm sorry. Something better will come up!

Wait...what? I also have a job from 14 years ago that I omit. I thought I was in the clear at this point. Hopefully something new comes up for you soon!

This is me. I honestly wanted to have them 2-3 years apart. Now unfortunately it seems like we are the 5-7 year plan. If we aren't one and done, which would make me so sad.

Why is that unethical? Did they already wear them? Unless they've been wearing them I don't think it's unethical in the slightest. I return things all the time that haven't been used.

They haven't worn them, just tried them on once, tags are still intact. But in general the return/rebuy to get a lower price is a little sketchy, since they have a policy in place for price adjustments and I just don't think it's good enough. This board's moral compass seems to be more strictly calibrated than the rest of the Internet, but I guess that's not enough to get the pitchforks going. Oh well, next week.

I can't imagine being 1 and done. We will TTC again next fall/winter, so depending how long it takes to get pregnant our kids will be 5 years apart.

Really, it's not sketchy at all IF you haven't used the item. The price adjustment feature is a nice thing they do to get some money back for something you have already used.

I am pretty strict about "following the rules," and this is something I do often. Really, you'd be silly not to if you have the time to do it and it's convenient.

Yea I don't see any problem with this; the costumes aren't worn. Would you feel the same if you got them home and your boys had a growth spurt and they might not fit anymore? Then you would just return them for a larger size....so meh.

FWIW I return stuff all.the.time. Clothes especially. I mean, obviously not worn, but if I'm trying to shop with DS, a lot of times I will buy things I am just meh about because I don't have the luxury of time in the store. I get home and go through everything, try stuff on again, etc, and then return stuff that I need to. Drives DH crazy though lol.
