*Warning* Not neccesarily Flame Free!!

kirkie928 · April 2016

I find myself going through boards with notariously many closed discussions to keep myself entertained while I'm pumping. I know I need to find something constructive to do with that time, but I just haven't yet.

middy411 · April 2016

Sometimes I scream profanities when DD twists and pulls my nipples when she's trying to come off of her latch. I've gotta get that under control or who knows what her first word will be...

BabySeaTurtles · April 2016

I haven't done any cleaning in a week. After both kids are in bed at night I have no energy to do anything but watch Netflix. Then I stay up too late and end up taking naps all day and the vicious cycle continues.

willkc · April 2016

I drove around for an extra half hour than was necessary yesterday cause my gremlin child was finally asleep and I was not about to ruin that.

dtaded13 · April 2016

We went to pick up chick Fil a the other day and both my 5 year old and baby fell asleep on the way there, (after a terrible, no good, very bad day) so I ordered myself a milkshake to have on the way home since DD wouldn't know I didn't get her one. It was delicious

Sometimes LO will start screwing around at the end of her feeding. She'll basically bounce her head off my boob repeatedly with her mouth open and not actually eat anything. I tell her she's cut off and put my boob away. Ain't nobody got time for that

srecupido · April 2016

I love every single one of these.

we coslept last night. I swore up and down it would never happen (nothing against those that do but it just wasn't what In the plan for us) and damn it if it wasn't the best sleep I've gotten in 7 weeks.

Also- I'm pumping rather than nursing for the most pet through stupid mastitis. LO is a grazer normally and I just can't handle it with this.

g0lightly8706 · April 2016

Sometimes I'll pretend to be asleep and not hear her so H has to feed her.
Also we pretty much switched to only forumla and ya know what, I don't reget it at all because I finally stopped feeling guilty about my milk running low and barely making any lately.

egraves4 · April 2016

@srecupido Our baby girl is 7 weeks and she's been cosleeping with us since probably 4 weeks. It works out better for all of us!

charliegoldengirl · April 2016

My house is littered with soggy breast pads and dirty diapers. About twice a day I spend ten minutes going around picking up and throwing them away. Sometimes it doesn't happen until everyone is in bed. Oh and dog hair... Always with the dog hair - on clothes, on the binky, alllll over the floor, in the toddlers Cheerios...

smn14 · April 2016

All of these have made me smile and I can relate to so many!
@ashton2190 I'm glad it's not just my LO who screws around at the end of feed. So irritating! Then she demands more immediately ...hello, you flung yourself off in anger!!!!

Absolutely! She stops eating and then screams because she's not eating anymore...I'm sorry, no one forced you to stop eating, crazy girl!

Just wait until you start getting all the awesome cuddles. I try to make LO nap in his crib but end up going to get him to nap with me because I miss him. Haha.

egraves4 · April 2016

My LO is a very light sleeper... If I hear her poop and she's asleep, unless she has a rash, I'm leaving her sleeping.

kinnonam · April 2016

@charliegoldengirl I understand my doggie is started to shed like crazy yay summer!! My house looks insane, dog hair, breast pads, breast pump, bottles and wipes all over yea I'm not fazed lol sorry not sorry

CrazyHorseLady · April 2016

My dining room table has become a baby station. It started because it was a good height for me to change her at because I had a c-section and no changing table, just a changing pad. Well it's just convenient now instead of going all the way down
the hall to her room. Good thing we always eat in the living room anyway.

michelle_bird · April 2016

My LO does the same pulling off, head shaking and head butting thing! I tell her that she's being a crazy baby and threaten to get it on video. I haven't yet because my hands are usually full and my boob hanging out.

mwmiller4 · April 2016

My husband is going to a bachelor party and won't be home until Sunday morning. I'm kind of freaking out about it--though I really shouldn't be. He's been working 12+ hour days and I've been basically doing everything myself this week. I'm also jealous that he can just leave, too, when the longest I've been away is 1.5 hours when my mom watched her. And at the same time, I really don't want to be gone longer than that. Which seems like the definition of crazy and pretty unfair of me to feel both ways. I sometimes feel like I'm no longer my own person, though, and it's tough being needed all the time. These first weeks are really hard.

Why on earth would this be flameful!?!?

MississippiCatfish · April 2016

I love trashy snacks with a glass of nice wine. Currently consuming Cupcake Reisling and Doritos.

ETA: Also, I'm babywearing.

I think this is really normal. I've felt this way with all my babies. I don't want them to leave my side for the first few months EVER, but I am jealous that my husband can go away on a business trip for a week:/

I just got done sanitizing the copious amount of baby crap necessary for a bottle, pumping, etc. I dropped one of the nipples on the floor. I picked it and notice a giant dog hair, I blew it off and threw the nipple back in with all the clean bottle parts.

I thought that said "a cupcake, reisling, and Doritos" and then I got real sad there was no actual cupcake. And clearly babywearing is the only way to go when you have important snack and wine.

blueberrymomma · April 2016

I LOVE all of these and most of them I do as well.
This morning I felt DS poop on me and handed him to DH and just walked away....he wasn't very happy. But I changed 4 blowouts this week and DS always poops when he's at work so I figured he needed a turn....lol

jellybellybean3 · April 2016

Ha! I've also felt like this with all my kids. I've almost been to the point of insanity and would love a break.. I am so jealous that my husband gets one every once in a while. But then if I was given the opportunity I'm sure I'd turn it down. To make matters worse I curse him and everyone else for their freedom in my head, but it's not like I make the effort to do anything about it. And if someone else had my baby for 24 hours I'd be all crazy mom "get the hell away from her and give me my baby back". I am pretty sure when push comes to shove I really don't want to be away from them, especially my new(ish)born but.. in my head I think I totally do. And that doesn't even make sense.. See totally crazy with you

mamacastro · April 2016

@jellybellybean3 this is my struggle too. I complain and curse people especially H for all the free time they have to themselves because I take care of my toddler and newborn 24/7 then H asks if I want him to watch then so I can go have some me time alone and I just can't do it, I can't leave my kids afterall i'm a mess
