  DH and I have lived back in our hometown for the past 2 years after being away almost 4 years. All his friends and family are here. My family doesn't live here anymore. I don't really keep in touch with anyone from HS and my close friends from college and grad school don't live here either. I just feel so lonely with none of "my people" here. His family is nice but it's just not the same when it's not your own family. I cry about it several times a week. I am extremely introverted and tend to have just a few very close friends. It's so hard to meet people. Sorry that was so long.

  WTF DD. Daddy and I go away for the first time and when we get back you couldn't give a hoot about me, but as soon as you hear your daddy's voice you jump and turn to look for him and get oh so excited! WTH! I'm the one who feeds you, changes most of your poopy diapers, rocks you to sleep, etc., yet you're excited by HIS voice!

  (OK, so this was actually pretty cute, but I was just slightly disappointed she didn't react that way for me...)

  I feel for you. That's how it is where DH and I currently live (thankfully we are moving back closer to my family in a couple months). I have no friends or family here and that's really hard. Keep your head up. Even though you're introverted, just make a point to try and find at least one good friend...it'll help you be a little happier

  There's cheesecake in my fridge... No, that's not the bitch, it's delicious. My bitch is that I can't stop sneaking pieces of it and being too ashamed to log it in my fitness pal.

  @SoSayWeAll‌ and @kareik01‌ I totally understand! I moved here 2.5 years ago and still feel like I dont have many friends. My church is having a MOPS meeting in two weeks that I am going to try out.
  
  @zoegirlTX‌ My LO naps fabulously on his tummy. ...I am very tempted to try it at night!

  Hopefully I am not limited to only one bitch. I just can't win this morning. I tried to get DS to nap and held him 20 min after he fell asleep and his eyes popped open the second he was in his crib. So he got up and now he's falling asleep nursing, but the second I put him upright he starts rooting/head banging. He'll spit up if I don't put him upright. We're on cycle #3 of this and when he finally actually goes to sleep the nap is going to have to be on my chest.

  We had a couple visitors this weekend and one of them took by phone charger by mistake. My hus left me his (super old) flip phone today since he also has a work phone. So obviously I can manage, but I keep reaching for my phone to take pictures and videos of the little lady. I am missing all the cute stuff!

  Gained 3# after losing all but 6# of pregnancy weight eating all kinds of food. Things I didn't eat while pregnant. I need a gym but how I will go with no one to watch my baby. In home workouts don't keep me focus, I end up just watching the video.

  Annnndddd,,, no air conditioning since Saturday in this Florida weather, and my son has eczema. I'm running around trying to keep him cool with frequent cool water to face and neck and re-moisturizing and one fan. So far surviving but I just hope it's fixed tonight. Oh wait, there's more. I went to the garage to do laundry. Opened the foward facing washer door and water runs out. Imagine trying to get perishable things out the way, like the TV you haven't put up yet because you've been so busy being a new mom.

  My bitch is leftover from Thursday/Friday.  I went back to work last Monday and I'm lucky enough to only be going back part time (I'm an elementary math teacher, I cut my groups in half for this year). I have a mix of daycare/grandmas for LO every morning.  My MIL is supposed to watch him only on Fridays.  So Thursday night she calls and says she can't watch him the next day....and that she actually took a job (she's in a carpenter's union) and so now she can't watch him until FEBRUARY! It's a job where they'll call her the day before to tell her if she has work the following day and I'm not ok with not knowing who will watch my child until 7 pm.  That's great that she has a paying job and all but wow, was I livid.  It was also the first day of LO's first cold, so I was ugly crying all night, total mommy meltdown! I was able to get a friend to watch him but now I have to piece together Fridays with my sister and BIL's girlfriend.  MIL tried to apologize via text a few times after we talked and I just ignored her.  And I don't feel bad at all.

  I second meetuo.com. I recently joined a "mom's night out" group and am going to an event tonight. Maternity leave has really made me realize how few female friends I have.

  My complaint stems from an IRL friend: I get so annoyed and irritated when people say they can't go anywhere with their toddlers because the kid "won't" ride in a stroller or shopping cart. I don't get this! I don't understand how a toddler "won't" ride in the stroller! That's why strollers have seatbelts! I don't give my toddler a choice. He gets buckled into the stroller. Period. Yes he occasionally cries, and he doesn't want to be buckled in, but he has no choice. And I ignore his protests, so he doesn't fight me.
  
  Not trying to be bitchy, but I just don't get it.

  Just because LO is crying does NOT mean she needs to eat. Looking at you MIL!!! Ugh. And it just so happens she is our most convenient babysitter so a double "ugh" to that.
  
  And I curse the lady who invaded DH and I's personal bubbles in the check out line. Then she was glaring at me while we were getting rung up. Oh that whole ordeal pissed me off something FIERCE.

  My stems off my last week bitch fest (my MIL wrote me a five page letter stating everything she feels that I have done wrong since DSL was born) prior to this we got along really well. Well I see her at thanksgiving this weekend and she is actually like every thing is great and that she has respect for my parenting like not waking DS from his naps just because they want to visit. WTF what a bad mother I am letting my child sleep.

  So it looks like she's moved to passive aggression.  I can't decide what's worse.  Sorry you have to deal with that.

  DH thinks since I'm the mom I don't have to work at it as much! And we just have one kid!
