FFFC

Yeah, I know it's Thursday... at least where I am, but I miss these threads (and more actively participating in TB... it's harder these days).
Anywho, let's hear em!

Mine is, I let DD sleep in her carseat when we get home from work and daycare for about 30 mins while I wash bottles. She's comfy, so why not?
If she's awake I'll take her out, just to throw that out there.

@kwaldy I've done the same. I just watch him close and make sure he's in a safe spot.

My ffc, though I don't see how anyone could flame me for this, is that I'm in the sonic drive thru.
I'm. So. Hungry.

@MercyC1130 .... bring me some? Yummmmm

I went back to work today, and while I missed my LO (DH is a SAHD for the next few months), I was so glad to be back to being an adult and having my work routine. I'm just not cut out to stay at home.

--QBF--

Before I leave for work I feel sad and guilty, but once I'm there it's so nice to have a break from mom life for a moment (even of my lo is still on my mind the entire time).
Being a full time sahm is not a job I'm quite cut out for yet.
That takes a special type of acrobatic patience.

I know I posted this elsewhere but I pretended I had to poop the other day so DH would deal with our son and put him down for a nap. I fully intend to do that again.

Lol. There will come a day when little toddler hands will appear beneath the door. And/or you will have LO knocking Sheldon style. Mommy . . . Mommy . . . Mommy? At that point, not even the bathroom is sacred.

When I ask my husband to take the baby so I can take a "quick shower" I intentionally take my time. I've taken 30 minute showers before. I just stand there zoned out.

VexedMommy · February 2016

My FFFC - There are a lot of aspects of my newly single life that I like. I don't have to feel responsible for another adults happiness and am free to spend my precious few hours of grown up alone time doing what I choose to do. I don't have to coordinate plans around quite as many schedules as before and I'm able to spend more time with my 9yr old hanging out doing what she wants to do.

Lolo427 · February 2016

I picked up a couple night shifts this week and DD has been going through a pretty hefty sleep regression (though she seems to be coming through it some- which as I type this I'm sure by acknowledging it, it'll be worse now). My husband texted me at 11:30 at night on Wednesday to tell me how frustrated he was and how difficult she was being, and -here's the kicker- how hard it was. I felt for him, I really did, But Damn if I did not bask in that moment.

rachswi · February 2016

I have a dentist appointment later this morning and I don't think I've ever been more excited about going to the dentist. DH and LO are both grumps so I'm super excited about leaving them for an hour so I don't have to deal with them. Although I'm sure I'll have the joy of a cavity or 2 since teeth brushing took a hit those first few exhausting weeks of Zeke's life.

rubirubi89 · February 2016

I think I hate my MIL. I've never LOVED her, but since LO was born and she's all in my face singing songs and shit I feel like I genuinely hate her.

I'm also jealous of all SAHM. I worked so hard to have and keep the job I have and now all I want to do is go home and hold my baby with one hand and make cupcakes with the other.

rachswi · February 2016

I have a body pillow that I still sleep with and usually wrap my arms around. There have been several nights where I've tried to soothe my body pillow thinking it was my son in my half-asleep state. For some reason my son still cries when I'm doing that lol

Omg. You're not alone with the MIL. Her and I have never been close..just "friendly." She spent my whole pregnancy trying to tell that she had bought everything for my child. She hadn't bought a damn thing. Now she's texting me every damn second of the day and gets pissed off whenever my mom watches my daughter. My mom doesn't work...my MIL does. What am i supposed to do, take her to your work so you can watch her!? It's like she's constantly jealous of my mom and the relationship my mother and I have. This woman doesn't understand that I didn't come out of her vagina! She has her own daughter to text and call every second of the day, let me chill with my baby!

I just found out this morning I have to have surgery and I was actually disappointed that I don't have to stay overnight. I could use a night away from my kids.

I hated being away from my daughter and husband while I was sick in the hospital for 2 nights, but I'll admit, the ability to sleep as much as I wanted, watch TV and not get out of bed all day long, and knit/do whatever I felt like doing* was pretty nice.....

*except eat. Recovering from pancreatitis, you're not allowed to eat or drink anything, hence, hospital stay for IVs.

VexedMommy · February 2016

Another confession. I told my ex (who still watches our daughter each day while I'm at work and then leaves when I get home) that I was working late tonight. I honestly planned to, but my back is killing me and I just found out that an excellent local masseuse has an open appointment and a special on deep tissue massages. Screw working late tonight. I've already put in 45hrs this week. I'm getting a massage.

ETA - $25/hr for a deep tissue massage is too good to pass up.

I work as an event coordinator at a restaurant. I'm going to ask my husband to watch the kiddo so I can "make sure my event goes smoothly," and by that I mean hang out with my friends and have a glass of champs.

HeatherFaye718 · February 2016

My FFFC is that I secretly want to pretend LO is sick so my MIL can't watch him. We got along so we before a baby was in the equation and now she is just making me mad. Met her for lunch the other day and if I wasn't there to say no she would have gladly let my son taste her soup. I'm stressed out about leaving him with her whole my hubby and I go out...

What's up with all these pop up ads? I don't use the app, is this only when viewing the website on my phone?

I met with my coworkers for lunch today, and I suddenly felt like a normal adult again for a couple hours. I too can't wait to (have a new job) and be talking to adults about things besides Rhys.

I've really missed life before baby this week, although I can't pinpoint why. I love him to pieces, but sometimes I want my old life back. I'm also tired of having boob's that feel like they are 8lb each from EPing. My neck and shoulders hurt when I have to wear a regular bra (I'm a 36j right now, normally a H).

Ceridwen77 · February 2016

I've been back at work for two weeks and it's going great. I love my DD but I'm really happy to be back at work. I do have a flexible schedule though that allows me to see her often, so maybe that's what made the transition so easy for me.

cdepperschmidt · February 2016

Going back to work definitely made me feel like myself again.

My confession, I could care less about how busy people without kids are. My best friend calls me daily to gripe about her work schedule that day and how she just wants to sit at home. I'm like bitch I'm a teacher so I go non stop all day, come home, then I'm a mom and finally when DS goes to bed I have to clean and do lesson plans. Bitch please. Not to mention I hardly ever gripe about my problems and when I do she can't muster up anymore support than, "yeah, I don't have THOSE kind of problems."

Oh I hear you on this. One of my close friends would complain nonstop about her lack of sleep (she's single with no kids) while we were knee deep in the hellish newborn phase.

Love my little one to death but I too miss my old life sometimes. I miss being able to just veg out and watch tv at night in bed. And oh how I miss sleep. And I miss sleeping alone! Motherhood is exhausting. Wonderful but exhausting.
