Anyone have anything to confess that will make our Friday more interesting?

*never guaranteed to be flame free and if you "confess" anything that has to do with leggings I'll hate you forever. Just kidding. Maybe.

I judge parents that let their kids play football. It's like they're signing them up for a brain injury.

hedgepig · September 2017

Sometimes I actually read the articles on TB.

I didn't go over to the ILs last night and told DH I was taking a nap. He took DS over to the ILs and I made apple cider cupcakes. I shared though!

ngolimento · September 2017

I am prefacing this with the fact I am an introvert:

When I have a day off, or go home sick, I don't tell my husband, because he ALWAYS tries to come home early too. I want to sit on my butt and watch bad TV alone sometimes. Being alone recharges me, and he totally doesn't get it.

lindsye · September 2017

First trimester of this pregnancy has made my taste in food regress to the level of my 5 year old. We were gagging in unison on the broccoli that I cooked for dinner last night, and I seriously considered canceling our dinner plans tonight because the place is a real, grown-up restaurant that doesn't serve Mac and cheese. And cookies for breakfast? Yes, please.

psuxray07 · September 2017

@hedgepig that made me laugh.

I'm trying to think of a confession. I don't do a whole lot, lol.

Oh, a lot of times I just agree with people or go along with what they say, even if I 100% disagree because I don't feel like talking about/debating/making the convo last longer.

lund · September 2017

@kmalls definitely agree. My DH has always been pretty adamant that none of our kids will play football for this reason, and because he saw so many of his friends end up with other lifetime issues like horrible knees and back problems.

@ngolimento I totally get it. Sometimes I flat out tell DH that I'm going in the other room to watch TV by myself, and he's become totally fine with it. It took a while, but now he understands that it's how I recharge, and he doesn't want to watch Dance Moms anyway lol. Not to mention it gives him time to play video games or watch his shows.

lindsye · September 2017

Oh, and in the time it took me to write my confession, my kids were playing happily with play doh. I just looked up and my three year old has it in her eyelashes; my 16 month old has it in his teeth. Meh.

irenejean · September 2017

@lindsye I was thinking the same thing this week, I pretty much want to eat only things my 2 year old wants to eat too. Except he still eats broccoli and I couldn't eat broccoli last night, so I guess DS is beating me in terms of eating healthy.

saisongbird · September 2017

I didn't go to temple this morning for Rosh hashana. Nausea and exhaustion won. I feel slightly badly about it but one of the principles of Judaism is that your health comes before religious requirements. So DD went to daycare and I slept.

saisongbird · September 2017

Ok, better one. I have 5 syringes left - enough to get me to the 26th. I stop PIO on 10/1 and really don't want to order four more syringes.

angiek1 · September 2017

I believe in ghosts.

ekendall09 · September 2017

I went to sleep with DD last night even though SO snoring wasn't THAT bad. I wanted the toddler snuggles and her bed is more comfortable for some reason right now.

Dumbgurl04 · September 2017

I found a dollar on the bathroom floor at work and i used it to buy a bag of chips, instead of going and asking the very small handful of women who use that restroom if it was theirs.

FFFC: I probably wouldn't ask around if I found anything less than a $50 on the floor

lund · September 2017

@angiek1 just one?

angiek1 · September 2017

@lund... touche

fishsticks-n-custard · September 2017

FFFC: I am the breadwinner for my family and I am probably going to quit my job, in the middle of a pregnancy, without another job lined up, sheerly on principle.

(Yes, I realize this is a stupid decision.)

btm013 · September 2017

@fishsticks-n-custard some may consider it stupid but others, like myself, consider it brave. If you are being treated unjustly or are miserable then take care of yourself. You deserve better.

angiek1 · September 2017

@fishsticks-n-custard Good for you. Mental health and happiness is more important than a paycheck.

okayrunner · September 2017

I ate five pieces of Halloween candy on the way home from the grocery store.

fancybelmont · September 2017

My in laws are taking my kids out for ice cream tonight. As soon as they go I'm ordering chinese takeout for just myself b/c I don't want to pay for the kids and I don't want to share. The end.

btm013 · September 2017

****Animal lovers do not read this post***

everything about my dog is bothering me. I feel like He has the most disgusting smell (my husband assures me he doesn't!) but I just smell his dog bed, his food, pee, farts and it makes me want to vomit. I'm constantly washing everything he touches and giving him baths.
I swore before I had my first child I would never let my dog be "just a dog". We did everything possible for this dog and he was for sure my "fur baby." But it happened! He's blind, deaf and is on four different Cushings medicines so he doesn't keep peeing in the house. He wakes up at least twice a night to go out. He's senile and whimpers if you step out of the room. Is it awful I'm just waiting for the rainbow bridge? Don't answer that. I know the answer and I feel terrible about it haha. He still has a lot of spunk left in him and gets a clean bill of health at every vet appointment I begrudgingly take him to. He's going to live forever.

sarelizr · September 2017

@fishsticks-n-custard I am totally with you on that today... I am also the breadwinner in our household and I don't know how much longer I can stay where I am. Unfortunately, I should probably stay through my maternity leave...

sarelizr · September 2017

@btm013 I had a dog with Cushing's that we just put down in June... it was a hard decision, but the peeing and expensive treatment was too much for me to handle.

I believe in ghosts too! When I was on the TTGP board I started a thread about ghost stories/experiences and it seemed to be a hit. We should totally do one here! I love this stuff. lol

My confession is that I actually really like the Kardashian/Jenner family and I am having a lot of feelings about the fact Kylie Jenner is pregnant. On one hand, how the hell did she manage to get KU at 20 years old with her BF of 5 minutes when she has all the money and resources possible to avoid something like that from happening? On the other hand, at least she has all that money and resources/support possible to raise the child? I just don't know guys.

psuxray07 · September 2017

My husband's aunt sent me a video of a guy trying to catch a huge spider. It ended up being one of those videos that scares you and makes you jump. So H and I showed DS (4) and took a video of it to see how he'd react. It was pretty amusing, haha. But I think I jumped more than he did.

zombiemom1318 · September 2017

Totally on board with the alone time! I love being alone and I need it like food and water. DH thinks my being alone time counts when I'm with DS though. No MF I mean Aloneeeee!

@JJMNO1616 A ghost thread would be exciting! We need some excitement!!!!

My confession is I get annoyed by pregnant women who act like they are the first pregnant woman alive. My SIL is pregnant and you would think there was no life outside of her pregnancy. I wonder if she realizes that soon people will be more in awe over the baby than her.

Check out YouTube for "pregnant women are smug" by garfunkel and oates! I love it! It's so true!! I have a friend who was like that as well. Drove me nuts!!

Sissy42 · September 2017

1st confession: Today I traded my husband sex in exchange for him taking the children to Chic-Fil-A for dinner without me. 100% worth it.

2nd confession: I'm sad that I'm overweight this pregnancy. I feel like I'm going to miss out on the fun of seeing my bump grow like I did with the 2 girls. It'll be obvious eventually, but it's going to take a while, and I'm just down about it. I feel like I should just be really happy the baby and I are both healthy and get over this, but I'm struggling.

psuxray07 · September 2017

@Sissy42 lol! I've done that kind of stuff a lot with my husband. He calls me a hooker Hahaha. Whatever, we both get what we want!

I'm also very down about my weight. I had lost 40 lbs and gained almost all of it back. I feel like I just look gross. I gain it everywhere. My arms and legs are big and I'm so short. I see pics of me after DS and think how gross I looked.

jenotontx · September 2017

@Sissy42 @psuxray07 Ugh, right there with you about the weight. I was the heaviest I have ever been when I got pregnant. I got married in July 2016 and I have gained about 15lbs since then. It really does look like I am pregnant right now which is sad because I'm only 11 weeks on Monday lol I really need to start working out. It's horrible.

viggie17 · September 2017

@btm013 I am a total dog lover, and I think feeling burnout is what a lot of people feel as caregivers! I know that caring for older people (and pets) you love, some stuff you have to take care of is gross and yucky, and being senile/confused is a frustrating thing to deal with. I feel like I sound like an a-hole, but I guess I'm saying I don't think you're a bad person at all, you just sound burnt out from it!!

tooraloorah · September 2017

@angiek1 my dad's house is haunted! We had ghost hunters come and everything. I'd love a ghost thread.

@JJMNO1616 Kylie is pregnant?!?! I've been living under a rock, I guess!

Sissy42 · September 2017

@psuxray07 I'm short too! 4'10". I don't think it helps at all to be short. I used to have such a great figure (I miss you college!), and I could just smack myself when I see me in pictures and in the mirror now. I'm so big. I did such a horrible round of misery with hormones the past few years, and I think that contributed a lot, but I was also emotional and frustrated and didn't exercise or eat the way I should've, and it's definitely caught up with me in a big way.

@JJMNO1616 I feel the same way. I've got to start exercising again! I need to find another woman or two in my neighborhood who wants to walk with me or something.

I swear this 3rd baby is making me poke out earlier than I did the last 2 times too. I wanna see baby and not my chub!!

viggie17 · September 2017

@JJMNO1616 I thought I heard Kim was having another baby with a surrogate? Plot twist... the surrogate is Kylie! Lol jk, but am I just making this up about Kim K? I swear I heard it! I guess I feel kind of a ping of jealousy, because someone like Kylie can just get KU without ever having to worry about something like money, where it seems like I had to actually get my act together and have a good financial situation before I got to just decide "I wanna have a baby!"... and this process seemed like it took forever and a day! But, yeah, besides that I'm completely impartial.

viggie17 · September 2017

Ok nvm Kim/surrogate is due in January... and I think it was actally mentioned on here lol...

angiek1 · September 2017

@JJMNO1616 love the idea of a ghost stories thread!
@tooraloorah I can’t wait to hear about your dad’s house!

I am think that that is the perfect Oct 1 thread!
