'cause it's Friday night on this side of the world.

I really want to quit exclusively breastfeeding. No extenuating circumstances, just bone exhausted of being the only one who can meet LO's needs every 90 minutes to three hours.

My ten year high school reunion is this year, and I don't like how much I have followed the same path as so many of my classmates. I thought I was different, yet here I am living life the same.

I'm ready to quit too. I feel like I'm living from pump session to pump session.

I used to feel the same way in the first month. Nobody told me that breastfeeding was the next frontier. I feel much better about it now since my boobs are no longer on fire. I have a long time to spend with LO to get it right so I'll continue to persevere.

I have an addiction to buying baby clothes. LO is outgrowing his newborn outfits, so Ive been online shopping for larger stuff. I know he will outgrow clothes quickly, but I cant help buying clothes, there is so much cute stuff! And then I spend more time than LO probably would like picking out his outfit in the mornings. He is my real life baby doll, lol.:)

@redselig It's good to hear it gets better, I'm just ready for that time to get here already!

@brenlo42 Do tell-do you even still want what you imagined? Is it really to late? Twenty-eight still can be (should be) so full of possibilities.

@brenlo42 My 10 year reunion is this year too. I was a totally different person in high school. Where I grew up is very religious and conservative, but that's not who I am anymore. I have a feeling it'll be uncomfortable if I bother to go. I live maybe 20 minutes from my high school as does a lot of my graduating class, but I don't talk to anyone I went to school with.

I cannot stop eating! I'm 6 weeks PP and want to eat everything under the sun, especially sweets. I've been letting it go so far but I know I need to reign it in. This is a funny way of my body making up for lack of hunger during most of my pregnancy. I feel out of control.

Ready4theParty · May 2016

DH is gone on a bachelor party as of today. He is gone for two nights and I am super pissed. Next weekend he wants to go camping (for two nights) with some of the guys. Um, what? We have a 5 week old and a 3 yo. It is by the grace of God that I didn't raise hell about the bachelor party. I know I am being irrational since 8 p,Anne to take the girls to my parents but now they are going out of town. I really want to go away for two nights on my own, and see how he survives, but I know MIL will just bail him out and take DD1 and it would be a waste of the bm stash I've started.

My take on visitors has changed. I just don't want to deal with them. If they do come please take LO for a bit so i can have a break and maybe do something. I use to want visitors and for them to help out around a bit rather than just take LO away.

if only I can pump so much to freeze 5 months worthy and stop pumping already. So frustrating!

wildtot · May 2016

@Ready4theParty I totally feel your pain. DH tried to pull off the camping trip. He's been spending time working in his bike and taking it for rides to "break it in" and going out for hours to get tattoos and what not. In the meantime I'm stuck at home with a 4 wk old with major reflux. I'm finally having a girls afternoon on Sunday but might not stay for dinner so DH I s not alone for too long (afternoons are the worst for LO)...I'm being to nice.

Absolutely agree. DH uses the excuse that he is working so many hours and needs to unwind. I am ONLY keeping a tiny human alive with my body and getting up with her a night 3-4 times.

brie_and_almonds · May 2016

@JadaBlue I'm not sure what I want, but one of my classmates posted a post on Facebook asking everyone to post one great thing that has happened since HS, and so many people posted the same kind of college->marriage->kids tale that it was very redundant.

I spend an inordinate amount of time online looking for things to buy LO.

Not just clothes but everything under the sun. Then I cross reference what he already has, determine what he might potentially need and ensure that there are some good reviews of things I might want to buy. Such a time sucker.

K&Elizabeth · May 2016

I really need a break from my kids. God, that sounds awful. DH works unpredictable hours and I EBF so it feels like it's all on me. He helps when he can but has started sleeping in the couch when he knows he'll have a long day. I totally get it. It's hard to work for 14 hours without sleep the night before, but I'm tired too. I'm a working mom. I am not good at this whole staying home thing. As grateful as I am to be able to stay with LO until mid July, I actually counted how many weeks until I can go back to work. I love my kids so much and I feel super shitty for looking forward to some time away from them.

adifrog · May 2016

I'm tired of breastfeeding. I was away from LO for the first time today and had to pump an extra time vs. what I normally do. It was really nice to give her a bottle instead of struggling to get a good latch.

I skipped mine. My friends who went said it was same same and everyone was just a fatter version of themselves in high school. Sounds kind of depressing.

amaniupendo · May 2016

I was kind of bummed we didn't have a 10 year reunion. I'd like to see old friends and catch up since all of us moved far away from each other. Maybe we'll have a 15?

Want a personalized experience?
