Today is my husbands birthday, so he wants us all to go camping tonight. It's the last thing o want to do with three little kids. I don't really like camping at the best of times. I'm still hoping something happens in the next 6 hours to change his mind. He's still sleeping in, so maybe he will wake up with a change of heart...

It's my husband's birthday too! He hates camping, but since we just moved and can't take delivery of our stuff until Thursday, we're camping in our RV in a Walmart parking lot.
ETA: it's our fourth night in Walmart parking lots (we just finished driving cross country) and I guess my FFFC is that I don't mind because our RV rocks, it's free and it requires no planning.

Wow, what a trip you've had! I hope you guys do something fun today. Good luck with the rest of the move!
My FFFC is I'm torn about whether to really try to get LO to take a bottle. Nursing is usually easier but I would like to do some things without having to rush back to her (eg meeting a friend for tea tomorrow).
But my FFFC is that I'm hesitant to give up control! When we were alternating bottle & nursing in the beginning out of necessity (my nipples needed to heal), DH would feed her and not tell me, thinking he was letting me sleep. He kept doing it too, and apologizing after. I think he really wants to feed her so I feel like he'll overuse the bottle. Controlling of me, i know, but it's so much less stressful right now.
I don't like babysitting, like at all. My hubby watched my 3 1/2 yr old niece for a few hours this morning and she was still there when I brought the girls home from school. The hour I was alone with the 3 girls and baby were so mentally taxing for me. I can handle my own kids most days, but not other people's aparently lol!

Well my hubby's birthday was last week, and thankfully he didn't ask to go camping, but he suggested it earlier this summer. I gave him that "just shoot me" look. He seems to think since we live in Colorado it is a prerequisite to camp, I disagree lol.

I guess I should confess I'm the opposite lol. In the beginning I pumped, then eventually I was like screw this and went to formula. Whenever I had to explain in the hospital why I was pumping instead of having a baby connected to me, I had to say "The idea of being slobbered on doesn't appeal to me..." Yep, I got some looks.
I love cleaning earwax out of LO's ears (only the stuff that has left the ear canal and is safe to remove).
Lol I feel this way about the lint between the toes.
I hate putting Preston down for bed knowing he's gonna wake up upset 10 min later (thank you sleep regression) at night I feel like putting him down then running out of the house so DH has to deal with it and I won't have to hear it.
I have been slacking on everything with the new baby because DS takes up a lot of attention. And DD is just so calm and complacent, she never really fusses. But I feel super guilty, because she's later on her milestones than DS was, simply because I'm not giving her the time to work on things. She's gotten great now at lifting up during tummy time (but took a while because I didn't start her doing it for so long), but she's not rolling, and she has a flat spot on her head that I'm worried about. So now I'm flipping the switch a bit, and letting DS watch TV so I can do tummy time with DD without him trying to stomp on her.
