This post may show our motherly insanity but who cares. Let your freak flag fly without judgement. Tell us the weird stuff about parenthood that you actually enjoy or find funny.
I like sucking the boogers out of LO's nose with the bulb haha. It's such a sense of accomplishment when you get them out and LO no longer sounds like a congested pig who snarles/grunts in his sleep. An added bonus, LO doesn't fight me on it either.
Oh and don't even get me started on those little white heads on LO's nose. It takes everything not to try to pop them!
While ordinarily I find any kind of gas disgusting, I feel so satisfied when LO burps haha, especially when she's been crying and it makes her feel better!
Um. All of the above. I love the snot sucker more than I probably should, and he grins from ear to ear when I use it. I also find myself cheering for him when he's trying to push out a good poop. Is it weird that I sing "push it real good" as he's going? Lol
When I bicycle his legs to help his gassy tummy and he starts farting non stop. I just find it hilarious that such a little thing can fart so loudly!! haha )
I love when the milk dribbles down her chin after she pulls away from my breast. We don't ebf, but I think it's so neat to be able to offer her what I can.
After my LO eats and has milk around her mouth I sing the (highly inappropriate) Milkshake song with an edit "my milk face brings all the boys to the yard".
I also enjoy getting the boogers out with the bulb, LO hates it but she's always relieved after and I'm impressed that she can even get them that big. Gross, I know. LO has some really linty fingers and toes that I enjoy cleaning too...I have no idea how they get that linty, but I'm not complaining.
I never thought I'd cheer so loudly over burps and farts! But it's a good feeling when LO passes gas because he's much more comfortable.
I second the toe and finger lint! I enjoy cleaning between his toes and fingers, gives me a sense of accomplishment! :-??
Yes! Big farts make me give a sigh of relief, and I absolutely love cleaning between fingers and toes! Wait til you see how fun it is when they start becoming mobile and get more nasty, lol. DD2's fingers/toes are much more satisfying
I thinks it's funny when DS toots and it's a little more than a toot. We have three teenage boys and they just die when I show them the diaper. They are so gross sometimes. I love picking at dry skin too.
I love when my girl lets out a big fart when she is crying while changing her or if she sneezes lol I absolutely love when she's done eating and she's has my milk all over her lips and she smacks them for a few seconds..it's so freakin cute! I love smelling her mouth lol I know it's weird but it smells like her
I love smelling his stinky little fingers because they are always in his mouth ...and I always have to wash them a few times a day before his bath at night.. They stink but I always sniff them
Not sure if it's cradle cap or just dry skin, but LO has peely skin all over his head. It's almost like when you peel from a sunburn. I just sat on the couch for a good 2 hours peeling it while he slept. I don't know why I have always had this compulsion to pick at stuff and peel off dead skin. My twin sister is the same way and my mom says we're like monkeys picking at lice. I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo.
I am a mad nail picker on myself. This also extends to a lesser degree on scabs and pimples and the like. It is taking all of my self control to not pick at LOs nails (or his baby acne). They're so perfect for it, too! Slightly long, softer. I compromise by filing them while he is bfing. And my own nails have gone to even worse a state as I attack my own fingers more because I'm Not. Going. To. Pick. My. Sons. Nails.
Re: The weird stuff
I also feel accomplished picking the sleep out of her eyes or any loose boogies. Gotta keep her looking classy.
ETA: and i get a weird sense of accomplishment when he burps super loudly

You ladies need to get a Nose Freida... You think the bulb is fun!?! Way more fun when you can see the snot come out! Seriously.
