  1) I would love to watch tons of British comedy shows on Hulu + but I seriously cannot understand their accent & I get lost.

  2) My math skills are ridiculous. Calculator please.

  Biggest reason I go to the gym regularly: it allows me to skip out on supper clean up. DH is so awesome about cleaning so I can go right after the kids are in bed I almost feel bad. Almost.

  My DD's naptime is at 2. I put her in her crib and leave her there until about 4:30, even when she's not sleeping, calls for me, etc. I need a few hours of just one child. Sorry, not sorry.

  You leave here there as in if she cried the whole time you ignore her? If she is asking for you, you don't even go see what she needs? I mean, I inow this is the FFFC thread but come on....

  If there are 3 children, then would she let children 2 & 3 be in prison the crib at the same time for 2 1/2 hours of just 1 child or at separate times for a total of 5 hours of just 2 children?

  I need answers.

  Even when she calls for you!? I don't always get DS right away when he wakes up from a nap, if I'm in the middle of something (dishes or laundry) I'll finish up. However, if he's crying and calling for me I would get him right away!

  Is the DD the baby or an older child? (I can't see tickers) Because leaving an older child in their room for quiet time if not an actual nap doesn't bother me so much, and in fact I'd wished I'd enforced it more with DS1. I'd never get two and a half hours out of it but I'd love one hour where he was resting or doing something quiet in his room.

  There's no info in the ticker about the kid's, but looking at her birth story for the baby, she had a son in July. The confession is about putting DD in her crib at 2 for nap time and leaving until 4:30. So, she's talking about leaving DD in her room for quiet/nap time, not the 6 month old son. Don't know how old the daughter is, but we definitely leave DS (2) in his crib for nap time whether he's calling for us or not. Quiet time is quiet time and he's old enough to know it.

  Wait, didn't you just say in another post today that you were into attachment parenting!?!?

  First confession:
  I have been working so much that we now have two nannies - day shift and evening. I'm too embarrassed about this to admit it, so I refer to the second and new nanny as "our sitter."
  
  Second confession:
  One of the nannies cut the baby's finger while trimming his nails. It bled a lot. She was horrified. I was just relieved it was her who had done it and not me.

  I brought my breast pump home from work permanently yesterday after only getting 8 ounces the entire week... I feel like I should try harder, but I also feel really relieved about stopping.

  I felt a mix of guilt & relief when I stopped trying to BF DS. By day two I realized we were both way happier & way more relaxed because no one was stressing about the amount of milk I did or didn't have.

  I usually leave DD1 in her crib for 2 hour nap time as well. If she called me I would go but she is 2.5, if she was old enough to know it's resting time and I knew she was ok I don't know that I would. She usually plays with her stuffed animals when she doesn't sleep or wakes up earlier than usual.

  This is usually what my DD does as well. She's 2. My confession was too broad I've realized.

  I can see that my confession sounds bad. I get that, especially with the sorry, not sorry part. Unfortunately, I usually speak in broad terms without adding specific details. I also forget people can't get into my head to know what I'm really saying. I could provide clarification but since you ladies have formed strong opinions of me based on my confession, I don't believe clarifying myself would do much good.
