This may not be an UO so much but I feel bad for feeling it. I absolutely love my children but I want a day to completely disappear. I won't do it for an entire day since I need to pump/nurse but I could use a day to me.
I miss my old life and want to be able to sleep in, eat pizza for breakfast, go out for boozy brunch in the city, and come home laze in bed while watching old episodes of Gilmore girls and drink a night cap Hubby can come too if he's good lol
My UO is that I think it's silly to keep babies couped up or away from the outside world because of fear of germs. If you're feeling up for getting out of the house, pack little one up and go!!

TV is not the devil. Children will be fine and their brains won't rot. Our television is on all day. It's mostly just background noise, I would say my toddler only actually watches it 2-3 hours total in a day from the time she wakes up til the time she goes to bed. I don't know of any child that just stares at the television like the little girl in Poltergeist.
My LO is really adorable and I love his coos and smiles, but I actually miss work because I was socializing with colleagues and had interesting, mature discussions.
I haven't left my LO'S side since she was born .. she just turned 2mo on tuesday. The longest I've been away from her was at the eye doctor for about an hour while she was in the waiting room with my mom.
I don't think it's necessary to be out and get away from her. I take her everywhere with me. I know it's inevitable and the day will come but I am not looking forward to it.
I think it's because she's so easy, she slept 6 hours a night from day one, and at 2 weeks started sleeping 10-12 hrs a night.
I want to put lights on my Xmas tree.... One problem we can't find the lights!! Hahaha me and DH have been fighting bc he swears they r upstairs in a cubby hole, I say they are in the shed... Hopefully he's wrong lol
The most irritating thing to me right now are people who complain about "low" supply because they can only pump x amount of extra a day. I want to go through the computer and strike them because I nurse THEN pump and feed what I pumped to my LO and some days I still come up short as I lost supply waiting to fix her TT.
Also, the ladies who complain that the not actually allergic LO they have is allergic to x and they stop eating it. Then when a mom like me is looking for more info about her actually allergic child to prepare myself to meet with the specialist can only find articles about how rare it is for EBF babies to have food allergies and to eat everything you want. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD UNLESS YOU LO IS POOPING BLOOD THEY ARE NOT ALLERGIC TO WHAT YOU ARE EATING..... JUST STOP.
Sorry, I know that is UO to the max but I had to get it out.
