FFFC

rachswi · April 2017

Flame free Friday! Let's hear them!

Mine is that I've been trying to be so good with what I've been eating and I'm still even tracking calories/macros etc. and yet I've STILL gained 2 pounds this week. So screw it - I'm eating what I want today and not even caring. I haven't even broken into my easter candy yet - but that chocolate bunny is calling my name today!

CandyApple2012 · April 2017

I've never napped more in my life! This week after school I ignored ALL of the grading and was asleep every day by 4:45, up to eat/make dinner and to hang with DH for a bit, and then back to bed. I've never been more well-rested, ever. ...And yet, I'm still yawning every 5 minutes! Little embryo is seriously draining ALL of my energy! Also? I may have a sip or two of DH's beer during happy hour tonight because I didn't realize how much I'd miss it!

ameliabedelia-2 · April 2017

I haven't put out since finding out I was pregnant and probably won't until I feel better. DH doesn't even ask for it, he knows he will get the side eye.

With you on this! I'm secretly happy my RE advised against it for the entire first trimester!

Marley629 · April 2017

I just set DS up with his ipAd next to me in bed and am fully expecting a nap any moment...for ME...not him.

pandawares · April 2017

I told DH that the dirty dishes make me nauseous. They do, but not enough to prevent me from doing them

40momma · April 2017

I'm so excited not to have to scoop the litter box anymore

pandawares · April 2017

@40momma My next FFFC is that got a litter box with a sifting pan that sits on top of the box and below the litter so I can continue to change the litter myself. I just can't leave it up to DH, because it won't get done. Plus, it's my cat, and he'll hold it against me even though he says he won't. So I hold my breath and wash my hands well afterward.

40momma · April 2017

Somehow my SO felt if he had to scoop the litter, I had to take out the garbage, maybe I need to pretend it makes me sick

peachy13 · April 2017

Sometimes I social media creep on old boyfriends. I'm curious. Some of them have been lucky with love and others not so much, and -- even though I love DH so much and would not want to be with anyone else -- there is one ex who kind of got away from me at the time, the only one who couldn't be tied down by commitment and was kind of like a Clooney, is actually getting married this year so of course I've been stalking their registry and website.

ilikestars089 · April 2017

@peachy13 I DO THE SAME! Except I only have one ex that I'm not friends with. He sounds just like yours though- I NEVER thought he'd settle down. He traveled all over the world and had a new girlfriend in every city. He moved to South Korea a couple of years ago to teach English and married a girl from there who is like 19

flowerpower5838 · April 2017

I'm super judgey. Like, it's bad. At least I know it?

I judge people that voted a certain way, I judge people that choose not to vaxx their kids, I judge people that don't like dogs, I judge people who do direct MLM sales stuff, I judge people who don't like sports, anddddd I could go on for some time.

I basically judge everyone.

GraysonsMama · April 2017

I'm a terrible house wife/sahm

I rarely have all the dishes done, our clean clothes are in baskets, and the dining room floor still needs swept from breakfast. In all honesty, it drives me crazy but I never seem to have enough time and I'm kinda lazy...

Edited because my phone likes to make me sound like an idiot.

ilikestars089 · April 2017

I can relate to every single confession so far! You ladies get me.

Mine is that since the US presidential race began like two years ago up until now, I've been really sad to see friends and people I respect "like" certain things on social media. This is kind of stupid but I've (secretly) lost some respect for a couple family members and close friends because I never in a million years would have thought that they held some of the racist, sexist, bigoted, and overall TERRIBLE ideals that they do. And the worst part is that they are kind of secret about it... not like openly debating people online, just passively sharing things or liking things like (just today) "Click 'like' if you still support Bill O'Reilly!" or "Click 'love' if you think Trumps first 100 days in office have been a success". I know some people support those things, which is fine, I just didn't associate some of my close friends/family with holding those values and it's been kinda sad to see who does!

This. 100%. And now that I'm pregnant? Pfft.

Yeah. This. Sad to realize how many people have always been this way, but now feel more empowered to be vocal about it.

ilikestars089 · April 2017

@NME44 exactly! The empowerment. Ugh.

I feel bad for judging them, like I'm stooping to their level or maybe I'm just "too biased" and liberal... but somehow the current polarization of the country seems much worse than in the past and I have a hard time with the things that pass for normal these days.

moonlady-2 · April 2017

I judge people who have multiple baby daddys. Especially if they're really young.

Hon, I don't even remember the last time my living/dining room floor was fully swept or mopped. It's gross, but DS is happy, and that's what matters most.

I'm fine with people having multiple sex partners. I'm fine with people who make good decisions and have bad luck. But, yeah, I think I judge people who don't care enough to prevent that kind of situation from happening.

moonlady-2 · April 2017

@pandawares Exactly!

I was not exactly a nun (far from it) but took advantage of the multiple types of birth control available. Didn't wanna have babies with just anyone!

camomile_june · April 2017

@moonlady-2 I guess my UO is the opposite of yours in a way. I used to judge people who got married. Especially young, and especially if they did so before having kids. I mean, how establishment of them. Then I got married myself, haha. Not my fault that DH wasn't ready to have kids before now...

vvitchhazel · April 2017

Um yes. I'm a pretty open-minded person, but young girls with a collage of kids is something I can't help but side eye. Especially when all they do is complain about the baby daddy's and how they can't afford their bills and their kids are assholes and they get no free time to go out with their friends... Nope. Keep 'em closed, girl.

moonlady-2 · April 2017

@camomile_june I always thought people who got married really young just wanted permission to bone. ha ha ha

I don't even care really if people are married when they have kids, just be responsible and don't complain about how shitty your baby daddy is when YOU SLEPT WITH HIM.

vvitchhazel · April 2017

FFFC: I feel particularly tired and nauseous right now, so DD is in her play yard, where she can't get into any trouble. When she gets mad, I toss her some goldfish.

MJDsquared · April 2017

If I get in to work before the coffee is made on Monday (I often do) I'm totally making the first pot decaf and not telling anyone so I can drink as much as I want without feeling guilty. My poor coworkers...

vvitchhazel · April 2017

@MJDsquared Hahahaha!!! That is just wrong and I love it!

bkrahn · April 2017

@40momma haha yes!! Literally one of the first things DH said after finding out I was pregnant was "I guess I'll be changing the litter box again for the next 9 months.." I hadn't even THOUGHT of that!

failuretofly · April 2017

I have told way too many people I am pregnant. It just keeps happening. I can't stop myself. If DH knew he'd be so mad

bkrahn · April 2017

@vvitchhazel this is so me! Just throwing more goldfish onto the coffee table whenever DD starts to get grumpy

camomile_june · April 2017

@MJDsquared hahahah, that's too funny. I totally picture you sipping from your mug with a smug smile on your face. I switched to tea at work the 2nd month we were TTC so no one would be suspicious if/when I got KU and would have to lay off the coffee. I'd be like, wow you guys, I just got this amazing ginger tea. Don't you just love ginger....

Tennis11785 · April 2017

@MJDSquared - HAHA I love this. I bet others don't even notice!

dkizz82 · April 2017

Going to bed at 7:45 on a Friday night.

rachswi · April 2017

@GraysonsMama I always say it's a good thing my husband didn't marry me for my ability to do dishes or clean because the house is always a mess. I'm really so lazy and now I'm exhausted. But I look at it this way - my kids will know how to make meals and do their laundry because as soon as they can pour milk and cereal, they're making their own breakfast

eazybreezy225 · April 2017

FFFC - I totally drank stale Wendy's soda that had been sitting on the counter left over from lunch yesterday for breakfast this morning.... and it was delicious.

@moonlady-2 I have 3 kids soon to be four with 3 different men, I didn't want it that way but my 1st kids dad was a useless dad and partner and chose to walk out on us when my daughter was 10 months old then my 2nd child's dad died suddenly when my son was a year old and years later I met someone else who didn't have kids and we decided to have a coupe, it wasn't how I planned my life to be but its what happened

Shit happens! Glad you and hubby are having your babies.

PoeMasque · April 2017

I am SO guilty of judging peoples parenting skills. Especially those who have a lot of kids and just let them run the house. It's probably fueled a bit by jealousy since we had to do IVF to even get a BFP after trying for so long, but I also can't believe that people have children and then put zero effort into learning how to raise them. It's like getting a dog and letting it pee all over the house because training it is too much work. It's a child, raising it will be the hardest task anyone does, why would you think you can just "wing it"?? My job is also to help at-risk families with their parenting skills, so it irks me even more that my clients are so willing to learn, but wealthier/better off parents think they know everything just because they have money or a good paying job.

@kvacmak me too!

vvitchhazel · April 2017

I'm wearing my beach bump cover up to the water park today... Don't even care. People don't need to know that it's a blump and not a bump.
