I know it's barely Friday but I have one and I wanted to start this thread.

FFFC= Flame Free Friday Confession. A safe place to confess things that may usually be flame worthy. But beware, not all will play by the rules so have your fire suit handy!

Here mine. I had sex. We are 3.5 weeks PP from a scheduled C Section and I feel good. My bleeding had subsided, my incision looks and feels great, my mastitis is finally gone and my boobs look fantastic! And also, it's my birthday! The real confession though, this was our second time. First was at 2.5 weeks and was a little awkward. This time was great!

Let's here em ladies, fess up your confessions this week!

    I watch cartoons even when DD1&2 are sleeping! Sheriff Callie and Doc are my girls!!
    Also DD1&2 watch way too much tv anyways! We can't help it. Thankfully it's mostly just background noise for their games!

    Not sure if this is flameworthy or me being a crazy jerk but I just told the guys who are painting our house to leave. They sat in their truck all morning and when they finally got to work it doesn't look good. Attached a pic of our porch ceiling where they started priming and I told them to stop halfway through. Another pic is of wood trim outside a window. The white is their priming, which isn't the problem. The problem, to me, is the old flaky paint underneath (which they say they already scraped). Is it just me or is it total crap?! Their boss is out of town this weekend but he emailed and said he'll meet with us Monday morning to discuss our concerns.

    I often leave the cartoons on too. I love Doc and Sofia but Callie gets on my nerves. DD1 probably watches too much TV too! She learns a lot and loves it so I'll take the flames.

    This looks like CRAP. All that paint underneath should be gone shouldn't it? It won't come out well that way. I would've done the same.

    Watch out, if that's lead paint under there you and your family could be at risk. I just had to move out of a rental house because the peeling paint on the exterior was a violation of state law standards. The landlady had to hire epa certified painters to fix it and legally people could not reside in the home while the work was going on because the lead paint dust is considered toxic. This we had to move immediately. This is for houses built before 1978.

    It is lead paint. House was built in 1909. They are EPA certified to remove it. I haven't been here, because of the safety issue, so finding these issues after they've supposedly scraped is super frustrating!

    I'm that mean mom!
    I'm so fed up with my 6 year old. Today he decided yelling at his teacher and throwing a fit was acceptable. I made him write sentences and if he acts up again on Monday I'll be cancelling his birthday party next Saturday.

    My confession is that today I saw a work colleague that's just had a baby and everyone told me to have a hold to get used to it (im 40+2 weeks with my first).
    They wer all saying how broody I should feel but I simply didn't. In fact I couldn't wait to give the baby back. I felt really awkward. I can't wait to meet my baby but i can't help but feel im not maternal :(

    I'm having a really hard time giving my three year old the one on one attention she needs right now. Baby is three weeks old and my husband is deployed so it's just the three of us right now. I spend so much time nursing him and my daughter does a great job playing by herself but lately she's been acting out and doing things she never done before. I think she wants attention and she doesn't care if it's negative attention because she's doing something she shouldn't be. I feel awful and try to spend time with just her when baby is sleeping but it doesn't seem to be enough. She is such a sweet big sister and loves her baby but she isn't listening to me and has been yelling at me and talking back like she's never done.

    It breaks my heart because she's so sweet and I really wish her dad was here so we could give her so much more attention during this transition into having a baby here. Ugh I hate deployments right now and post baby hormones!

    I'm still pregnant and blowdrying my hair has turned into a true chore. My confession is that this week I indulged in not once but twice going to the hairdresser's to get my hair washed and blown out because I simply couldn't be bothered to do it myself. Probably a waste of money but boy did it make me feel better!

    I've been considering doing this, glad to know I'm not the only one! LO is 9 days old and I haven't washed my hair since the day before she was born. I had a c section and my OB said take only quick showers and don't get the incision wet so the thought of washing my hair seems damn near impossible! We have to take care of ourselves a little first!

    My confession? My mom brought over two casseroles and DH and I haven't touched them! I know she means well but she is a TERRIBLE cook :))

    My digestive system still hasn't caught up with me and I had a mildly spicy dinner. I farted while holding my baby and this is the face he made at me. It was way more WTF but I was laughing too hard and couldn't get my phone out in time. =))

    This is me and my son right now!! He's 2 and a half.
    He has some absolutely adorable moments where he wants to hold her bottle while she feeds, always asking for a cuddle with her and getting a pillow himself to put on his lap, or getting a wipe for me for changes. When she Crys he rushes over and tells her everything is ok ( even says "it's ok darlin' !!) so cute!! and kisses her forehead....
    But then... There are times he can be so so difficult and border-line rude!! I know it's just for attention... It's been a long trying nine months for he and I, and I can't wait to heal from my c-section, get baby her first immunisation and take him on adventures to make up for it all!!

    I am kind of tired of the breastfeeding struggle, namely trying to keep LO awake while feeding. It is so hard to get her to stay awake and actively suck that it frustrates me and I get all anxious about it, which isn't helping the situation.

    I also confess I was and still am super nervous about having taken LO to see my husband's grandma today. I am so glad she got to see our daughter because she doesn't have much longer, but I was terrified of taking her in the nursing home. I had her car seat cover on, which made me feel better, but then FIL suggested we go up to the front lobby and wait on MIL to get there before waking up his grandma. I had already taken her out of her carseat and really didn't want to fight that battle, so I just threw a blanket over my shoulder and covered her whole body up. I was so uncomfortable about it. Dont think there is anything going around the nursing home, but I was so nervous the whole time about her picking something up.
