We went to go see Collatoral Beauty yesterday. I cried for like.. 45 minutes straight. DH even shed a tear or two. It was really good but so not a good idea to go see while pregnant.
Ugh, I am so over my maternity clothes. I got a bunch of basics and they all match and still fit and are generally fine, but I am so sick of them! Especially when watching TV and see how adorable people are styled, which I recognize is totally a ridiculous standard to go by... sigh.
Sorry, went to bed! Someone posted a 12w u/s pic and the board responded exactly as you'd expect. But OP flipped her shit. Couldn't delete so she changed the thread title to something like "where all the whores gang up on one person" or something. GBCB, etc.
ETA: 12w us asking the board to tell her baby's sex
I found a screen shot of the title and copied it...
When will I learn my lesson about "feeling good" during physical activity? Having a decent hip pain day so I walked the dog slightly farther than usual. Maybe a quarter mile. I have never, as an adult, come so close to peeing myself. On the bright side, pretty sure the little man is head down now!
A few days ago, DD asked DH if she could have a smoothie and he told her he'd check with me (I was changing into PJ's which is like a 20 minute process these days). A few minutes later she asked if he'd checked with me yet and he said no and gave her the smoothie. She responded with, "Yeah, because you're a parent and you can make these kinds of decisions."
I would kick H if he ignored everything like that. We were at lunch yesterday and there was a little boy who kept yelling until they got their food. The mom just kept telling him to be quiet but it didn't phase him at all, just kept yelling. I would take my kid to the restroom or car if they acted like that.
So FFFC: my H would be that guy. He's way more comfortable being rude to me than strangers. It's almost like the more distant you are, the nicer he is. But, going into parenting I know he's like that, and I've already been kind of practicing how to ask him to help (and get a positive response) with our dogs. I know that if I sit in silence and don't ask for help, I likely won't get any/he won't take initiative, but if I ask, he'll be there immediately. It's not that he's being malicious about it, it's just not his personality to read a situation and step up.
DH has gotten better about reading situations but it's after a lot of fights and me realizing that I CAN ask for help. We're in a totally different spot now so DH will hopefully help if he sees me floundering & I won't have to ask. If I do though, then it's no biggie which has been a huge turning point for me because I'm very "I got this" sort of person. It's been good for me to learn to ask for help when I need it because I used to never do that. Live and learn.

@fourPsinapod I can't either. I still don't have half the gifts I need to have wrapped all done up. Thankfully a good portion of them are being brought from our place to my MIL's Christmas Day so DH and I can do some last minute wrapping tomorrow... but it snuck up on us so fast.
Here's to waking up at the crack of dawn! It's 545 here and I've been waiting for a reasonable hour to wake up since midnight. Sleeping at someone else's house is hard man.
You can easily sum up the difference in DH's and my personalities in regards to deadlines with this one Christmas gift scenario.
Me: Responsible for all gifts except my own, and FIL. Purchase all early, wrapped, and under the tree two weeks ago.
DH: Responsible for my gifts and FIL. Does not start shopping until this week, and still has to go out today for "one last thing" for me. Has wrapped nothing.
Basically he likes to cozy up to deadlines, and I treat them like they have spikes and barbed wire.
@WinchesterGirl Lol, normally I'm a lot like you and have things done in a relatively good amount of time, this year for whatever reason I was a lot more like your DH. I didn't get my shopping done until last week and my gifts weren't totally wrapped until late last night. I can only imagine what it's going to be like as a parent next year. Granted it won't be too scary because the wee one will only be nine months old, but I'm hoping parenting won't have me so frazzled that I can't get things done properly. XD

Not sure it fully applies to this story, but sometimes the thing the noisy or tantrumming kid wants is to leave or go somewhere else. So I would kind of understand the mom not taking him anywhere and possibly giving in, encouraging him to behave that way the next time he's bored at a restaurant. But that's a hard call if he was disrupting others in a nicer restaurant!

I meant take them out for punishment.
Like "take them out" like you're going to murder them?

@becbec28 if you're spanking your kid every time they throw a fit your hand is going to be constantly raw.
Not every time they throw a fit. But when out in public, to me, that's the easiest thing to do. When at home there are more options. I just don't want my kid annoying everyone else because I'm ignoring their behavior.

H really pulled through though when he surprised me and bought a pair of nikes to console my hormonal self.
He's a real trooper.

Speaking of amazing dads, have you guys seen this video?

It's Jason Momoa who makes it worth the watch by himself, but his storytelling made me bawl like a baby. Total family goals with these guys.
