FFFC!

ngolimento · September 2014

Confession: I have been finding myself drawing away from the boards in general because of how recent trolling has affected the tone. It's just so boring and tiresome to have some entitled whiny POS child bitch at us day in and day out. That and they've gotten creepy and stalkery for no reason.

I kind of keep hoping that people will stop playing with them and encouraging them, or that BumpJackie can give our mods the go-ahead to ban the shit out of bitches violating the spirit of the TOS. It's downright hostile nowadays, and I don't feel safe sharingon the boards anymore. STupid FB losers just don't seem to have lives, or souls.

I'm team facial hair as well. I love the way my H looks with a beard. And he's not a redhead but a flaming ginger-face and I find it adorable. He goes to a place called the man-cave once a month for a hot towel neck massage, haircut and beard trim (and free beer). I have teased him for being more high maintenance than I am.

My FFFC is that I had my hair done yesterday and I let my stylist put regular ol' hair dye all the way to my scalp (gasp!). I don't have grays or anything, I just wanted the color to be thorough.

@Skrittens I'm glad you were able to talk to your therapist about your H. There are definitely a few little things that have been bugging me about H, so it's always so nice to talk to someone and get some validation. Don't get me wrong, I usually talk to H about issues, but for me there is that line of "is this an actual issue and is it worth hurting his feelings over, or should I just deal?"

Anyway, no flames here, I totally feel ya!

I had a legit crush on Bill Murray when I was a kid.

crunchymamaof2 · September 2014

@Skrittens‌ my husband's hairline is receding and he talks about how he's just going to shave it all off. I know that day will come eventually and I'm dreading it. I'm so afraid I'll hate how he looks. I know I'll get used to it but it scares the shit out of me.

@darbie914 I understand how you feel. I've been like that my whole life. I had a tough time in school; I wasn't constantly picked on but I did get a mean comment here and here plus I wasn't in with the "popular" crowd. That coupled with my shyness just made me withdraw even more. Even now, as an adult, I feel awkward in many social situations. I feel like I'm going to say the wrong thing or make a weird face, or just do something 'wrong'. I often feel more at home on boards because I can think about what I'm going to say before I say it. You're far from alone ((hugs))

Fellow introvert here. To the point that sometimes I type out responses to threads on here and then don't post because I'm worried that no one cares what I think. I have my close group of friends and am generally uncomfortable and feel judged by everyone else. Even though that's probably kind of self-centered that I think people are focused enough on me to be judging.

My fffc is that I've been majorly slacking as a parent to dd lately. We've watched a disney movie or DVR-ed episode of Sesame Street every night after I pick her up from daycare. I should take her to a park or go for a walk through the neighborhood, but all I want to do is sit on the sofa and zone out. At least she enjoys the movies...

I do the same thing day in and day out! Wake up go to work, come home make super, play with the kids, bath time, kids bed, I watch tv, bed then start all over again... I can't do it any more... So I just took the day off to have time to my self!

I have no real friends either. I get lonely very lonely... Sincey H works ALOT! He is never home! He has to work all this weekend! He usually gets home when I Am crawling in to bed!

My H is driving me nuts. He hasn't showered in a few days, and he smells so bad. He was PMSing last night! And complaining about everything! Money, he doesn't think I will like being a SAHM, his job, not having time off... Everything! I got so annoyed I just went to bed!

I am so nervous to have 3 kids! Can I Handel 3 kids? I won't be working will I be ok with not having my own money? Will I feel like I am contributing enough to the family? Will we be able to afford a 3 kid? Will we be able to afford for me to be home??

Sorry it's so long I started and couldn't stop

My husband is going through the same thing right now with his hair, hence why he's experimenting with a beard. He's thinking of just shaving it all off in the next few months, which is going to be a huge change; for him and me.

And I feel so self conscious about my self! I have acne like a pubescent teenager!:( I feel huge! I have so many stretch marks from my last two babies... It looks awful

I had a crush on Captain Picard from Star Trek and Lion -o from thundercats when I was a little kid. So I'm with you in the strange kids crush thing.

I had a crush on Alf as a child. Yup, you read that right.

dani727 · September 2014

I've got two pretty incriminating ones:

1. I've eaten an entire angel food cake from whole foods myself this week.
2. I've started re-watching Dawson's creek episodes and I'm halfway through season two. Somehow I find them comforting.

I feel like my SIL's wish my husband were with his ex instead of me. I've been with him for 6 years now, married, a house, and basically 2 kids in. Kind of sucks. They still invite her to family things once in a while and still talk to her. Bugs the shit out of me because I think it is so disrespectful to not only me, but my children, and my husband.

Weird thing is, I have a better job, better education, am much prettier, know how to cook.. and most importantly my husband loves ME. all of this over his ex... plus his ex cheated on him back in the day.

I so don't get it.. If someone cheated on me, my brothers would beat his ass and never speak to him again... these in-laws are something else.

chocolateandwine · September 2014

I am very much an introvert, and it sucks sometimes. There are a few people in my life that I make plans with a couple of times a year, but I no longer have any close friends that I would call to hang out on a regular basis. I find making new friends to be really challenging. My DH is the opposite. He can make friends in a room full of strangers, which sometimes makes me feel worse about myself.

My FFC: I helped myself to self-serve frozen yogurt after work today. Then when I got home I washed it down with sour cream and onion chips. Ok, fine…and then I topped it all off with a pickle. I regret nothing.

Also, I had a huge crush on Michael Jackson when I was young. I named my first cabbage patch kid Michael in honor of him

My cousin and I were in love with Michael Jackson! I think I was in, like, 4th grade. Do you remember the music video with him and Lisa Marie Presley and he was in a white unbuttoned shirt? We locked ourselves in my parents room to drool over it.

But my true childhood love was Zac Hanson. I kissed his picture every night. He could have mmmbopped me anytime.

@crunchymamaof2, I knew I couldn't be alone in my Michael Jackson love! I crushed on him during the "Bad" days. My five year old self bragged to my parents that he was my boyfriend. By the time he was with Lisa Marie Presley, I think I had moved on to Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block, lol. But I'll always be a MJ fan.

@lewispm‌ I used to love eating grated carrots with lime juice and hot sauce as a kid. It's sooo good! Now I'm craving that.

I'm interested. What kind of hot sauce??

Whitfry · September 2014

My FFFC:

I have started getting to know my husband's boss' wife. I enjoy hanging out with her, but a few awkward things have come up. First, I am now privy to some very personal and intimate information about their relationship that I'm sure his boss would not be comfortable with me knowing. I also know how unhappy she is in her marriage, something I think her husband is unaware of. This is their issue, but I feel a little awkward knowing these things.

Additionally, I know that she is keenly interested in the sort of intimate lifestyle my husband and I practice, and I think she is attempting to groom me. I'm not 20 any more, naive and innocent to the machinations of older women. And I am flattered that she is feeling me out to see if I would be interested (though I'm not). But again, awkward. For a lot of reasons. But it's worse because, you know, her husband is my husband's boss.

I can't even tell DH about the situation because I don't want to drag him into the awkward. So for the moment I'm just quietly keeping things to myself and trying to limit time with her to when our husbands or her kids are present.

I feel like this is something your husband needs to address with his family. This is just not ok. When I broke up with the ex before my husband my family still loved him even though he had done and said some pretty unfortunate things to me. He was pretty charming. I told them how uncomfortable it made me that they were choosing to keep him in their lives despite my feelings and luckily they ended up respecting my wishes. Your husband needs to step up and put an end to this (at the very least when it comes to family functions!).

@StellaMakes3‌ If you'd like I can send you a picture of my craft room to make you feel better. Yeah, it's a whole room. No, I'm never going to use most of it for that very same reason. So much of it is waiting for that "perfect project" to use it for. Lastly yes, I'm probably a spoiled jerk for having a room specifically for crafts. I'm sure it will be overtaken by a child soon enough anyway.
We have a sewing/computer room. My sewing sometimes takes over more than its fair share

Maybe it should be my confession that it's the third bedroom, and the kids will share a room because I have no intention of giving up the ONE ROOM in the entire house that is MINE. And H's, I guess, lol. I get the impression summer people think that's super selfish, but I'm pretty sure my kids will survive having to sleep in the same room.
I understand 100 percent! Personally I don't think that's selfish. A lot of times kids love sharing rooms. I've seen so many of my friends give their kids separate rooms and they only ever end up spending time in one of them anyway.

My girls have seperate room, yet are always in my oldest daughters room

I understand how you feel. My IL's are still close with FI's ex and her parents. Like FI's parents go to church with her parents. SIL is good friends with her, FI's nieces and nephews call the ex "zia" (aunt). y. FI's parents and family are amazing to me, so I try to not let it bother me. From the first time I met his nieces and nephews they called me "zia" and are so excited for their new cousin.

FI is also still super close to the ex's family and her parents. They still talk on the phone, he visits them occasionally, and I know everything that's going on in their family. I try to not let it bother me, they were together 15 years and they are Southern Italian. I guess her family was like his family and family is the most important thing in Southern Italy. I'm not worried about something going on betweeen her and him.

But if this bothers you, talk to your husband and have him speak to his family. If they're inviting her to family events and you are there, its weird. If they want to see her on there own time, whatever. I know that SIL and the ex are friends and hang out sometimes and FI's parents have coffee with the ex if they're all in the same place at the same time. But they never invite her to something I'm coming to and they never speak about her in front of me. Also they've told us that they never speak about me, FI or his ex except for basic "whats going on in their lives" type of thing with her parents. His family should respect you.
