FFFC...

avidkeo · September 2014

Yes its early for you guys, but I have had one all week and want to share and I never get to start these threads so I'm being a SS today!

avidkeo · September 2014

Now I dont think Ill get flamed for this but wanted to share anyway. Kinda following last weeks conversations..

DD has ALL the screen time. She knows the Mad Men theme tune and always stops what she is doing to watch the intro credits. I think its cute.

tamaraaaa · September 2014

I'm whatever about screen time. Baby TV is the only reason I have clothes on when I go to work some days.

FWP. I am irrationally anxious about deciding which new iPhone to buy tonight. I have a couple hours left to make my decision. DH held the big one today and said it was HUGE! It may not fit in my pocket. I can't decide!! ]

Easy, get a Samsung Galaxy S5 instead!

Yes... It was just on a commercial, and Sandra Lee uses it all the time too.

I'm still using the excuse of being so tired because I have a newborn. He's been STTN for months.

zazu13 · September 2014

I spoon feed my twins with the same spoon. I tried two separate ones and it was just cumbersome. They also regularly finish each other's bottles and share pacifiers.

DS is never going to roll over because he is OBSESSED with his exersaucer. When we put him on his back and tummy he fusses until we put him back in the exersaucer and he jumps and smiles and plays. He's been using it since 3.5 months so I'm afraid we started him too early on it and now he has no interest in playing on the floor.

But to add to my FFFC - I'm sort of ok with him being late to roll over. He's already a crappy sleeper and I am scared to add rolling over & startling himself awake to the mix.

My mom is coming to visit next week. I wish she wasn't.

AcaAwkward · September 2014

I have this "healthier" banana bread recipe that DH loves. He claims to not be a big sweets person but has zero restraint around them and always wants the low fat version, etc. It's annoying. ANYHOO. I wanted to make banana bread with DD on Wednesday and wanted to use a new recipe from an old Gourmet (RIP). It called for buttermilk, which I didn't have, so I did the kitchen hack to make buttermilk (milk + lemon juice)....using heavy cream. Plus there was a stick of butter in there.

DH said it was the best banana bread ever, but did I do something different to the recipe?

My lips stayed zipped. He ate half the loaf after I was in bed.

UnofficiallyLO · September 2014

I didn't get an IUD because I was afraid it would move, I wouldn't know and would get pregnant. Now I have the mini pill, which I'm also not taking because I'm afraid I'll mess it up and get pregnant. Condoms 4 lyfe!

Also, before I was all "the baby can go to bed whenever he's tired" and now he's in bed by 8:30 because cleaning and sex.

ashcole28 · September 2014

I've been so busy this week with work and DDs well check and DS's speech and and EIC program this week that my house is not clean. My FFFC is I could give 2 shits less! I picked up a little andcalled it done! A14 iI've turned to the dark side.

BiggerinRealLife · September 2014

I get irrationally upset when the baby is fussy for me and a perfect angel for DH.

Example: last night we did no swaddle for the first time. I had class, then DH had a massage. He put her down, I came home, he left, she freaked. Two epic melt downs and I'm not eating dinner until 10:00.
Tonight I had a massage. We put her down, I leave. Come home, she's been down the whole time and DH gets to play video games. I get home, she flipps.

:-w

hpanabaker · September 2014

I don't usually read the RTT, but I did yesterday to keep up with the drama.

I'm leaving for a business trip on Sunday for 5 days... I don't feel overly anxious / upset about leaving Goomba and that makes me feel like a bad mother.

I'd call you blessed with glorious purpose.

deidremaria · September 2014

ALL the parenting things I thought I'd never do are what keep Dylan and I sane. Bed sharing, comfort nursing. So far the only thing I planned not to do that we actually aren't doing is using a paci and that's only because Dylan doesn't like them

Talltrees82 · September 2014

I stayed up until 1am enjoying the quiet house (getting our roof done this week- so loud!) and a glass of wine. Definitely regretting it now that bébé got up earlier than usual.

Ashleypixie · September 2014

The other night our little dog was in the garage when we pulled in. We felt us run over something and everyone started screaming, but it turned out to just be a hose. But yesterday when I had finally gotten LO down for a nap after hours of screaming, the damn dog starts barking his ass off about a noise in the basement and wakes her up. For a very BRIEF second I thought, "dammit I wish we had run over that fucking dog."

Ashleypixie · September 2014

And I think later today I might go get my baby and iPhone 6

deidremaria · September 2014

I'm jealous of everyone getting an iPhone 6 now but at the same time I'm not. I'm not getting mine until November (that's when my upgrade is). I'm sure by then some bugs will be worked out. I'm mainly jealous because my screen is damaged

All of this. I cracked my screen and my upgrade is the end of October!

eireyes · September 2014

I hate being the last comment in a thread. For some irrational reason I feel like I've killed it, or that I have nothing interesting to say, or that I've alienated everyone... etc., etc.

You get the picture - I'm a weirdo L-)

yellowflower15 · September 2014

I sent my preschooler to daycare today without brushing her teeth. Oops.

pbandjmom · September 2014

DD can still fit in some of her 3-6 mo stuff, but I'm thinking of retiring it anyway becuase she has some cute 6 month stuff to wear. My husband would call this wasteful but I don't care. I might just pack it and stick in the attic while he's at work.

michaelad3 · September 2014

Okay maybe more than 15, but I waste excessive amounts of time

hlm184 · September 2014

After I got LO down for a nap this morning, I went to take a nap of my own. And I didn't turn on the baby monitor.

He still woke me up 30 minutes later after rolling over and getting his leg stuck. FML.

I think Merriweather is a silly name for a child. That child will be teased mercilessly :-(

There are names so much worse on here.

Alas, true.

AmberLiz99 · September 2014

I'm considering blocking my brother's posts on FB. He has all of a sudden started posting all this anti God/religion stuff (a passive aggressive attack on the rest of my family and I) as well as just vulgar links and I'm just sick of seeing it. I can't bring myself to do it yet because we used to be so close before he got married.

You can unfollow people on FB so you're still friends but you don't see their posts in your newsfeed for less drama. But obviously different if you don't want him seeing your stuff either.

I hate eating.

I legitimately wish there was a button you could push and just be full. Maybe I should get an IV bag with puréed food inside. Haha...90% of the time I'll be hungry, go to the fridge or pantry, see nothing I want to eat or make and just say 'fuck it, I'll eat at the next meal'. My husband is constantly on top of me asking when I last ate and what I had. I just hate it so much! I may have issues, lol.

You sound like my ex. I LOVE food but can't eat if I'm not hungry or I feel like a slob kabob so I'm that person who looks forward to the next time I'm hungry so I can enjoy all the things.

deidremaria · September 2014

One more parenting thing I didn't expect to be doing: Dylan fell asleep on my chest and since he's a crappy napper I'm not moving until he wakes up.

I should add to that confession that I don't mind letting him sleep on my chest because im off today and feel like i don't get enough time with him between work and school

PS I really liked the name Merriwether

Ashleypixie · September 2014

Quinn strikes some people as a weird name. It got hella flamed on BNB. OH FUCKING WELL

I actually like Edolie. I think Quinn is an adorable name for both boys and girls. I really don't wanna piss anyone off and PLEASE don't take it personally mom of Ryver Rayn (or however you spelled it) but I think the name is ridiculous. That name has no impact on me or my family and the only thing that matters is the fact that you and your family love it. I think Merriwether is actually kinda cute.

kmos816 · September 2014

I thought Id give bed sharing a shot this morning since DH left early for work after the LO woke up at 5:30 and I didn't want to get up yet.... She slept for a total of 40 extra minutes and took up half the bed- not doing that again

Also working from home today and probably won't get too much work done, sorry job :-)
