Flame Free Friday Confessions*

*not guaranteed to be flame free.

meggyme · July 2018

I'll be working from home for a few days next week and the week after (DD's daycare is closed) and I'm doing all the work assigned to me ahead of time so I can relax and just hang out with her.

Bringing the MIL conversation over from UO...

When shit hit the fan when I was in labor with my daughter, I let my mother-in-law come up and visit me in the hospital but not my mom. If my mom knew she would never forgive me. But I would do it again.

meggyme · July 2018

My mom wanted to come to the hospital the moment she knew we were headed there (at 6am) even if she had to wait in the waiting room. I didn't have DD until almost 6pm and we didn't get into the recovery room until amost midnight.

I also let MIL and FIL come with me to my repeat anatomy scan because they were already planning to be in town later that day. My mom doesn't know about that.

My ILs have waited so long for a grandbaby, and I love them, but I still have no intention of letting them stay at our house for weeks on end. My MIL isn't much for cooking or cleaning and despite her intentions, she would not "blend into the household". I'd still be doing everything. They need to come for a few days, meet their grandbaby, and then get out. My dad, on the other hand, would come and cook/clean/take care of things for me, and not spend all his time holding the baby. He could stay as long as he likes (esp b/c 3 days out of his house is his limit).

@catlady2015 my MiL is the same way. She's sweet and well-intentioned while also being the least helpful human being on the planet. She would come down to hold the baby and stare at my husband . . . not a joke.

While on the subject of in-laws...I generally dislike my BIL (MH’s brother). I find him annoying!

sydbom · July 2018

I see my MIL all the time, but I do try to avoid her because she acts like my son is HER child. Drives me crazy! She had 8 children and I just think it is hard for her to be grandma and not mom. But I do love her!

We are keeping this pregnancy a secret from everyone, including family as long as possible. The only person who knows besides my OB is my best friend and she only knows because she will be helping deliver baby. My due date is the day after my moms birthday and I will have baby a week before (repeat c section most likely) and introduce baby to my family when we celebrate her birthday. I may need to go into hiding, and become a recluse, ha.

My MIL is the cleaning queen. She just gave my stove and microwave a good scrub down and did my dishes. Not the only reason I love her, but it is on the top of the list.

meggyme · July 2018

Here's a juicy one. I'm filling out my absentee ballot and I voted for the lesser of 2 evils in part because the other guy was very forwardly pro-life and named his son Rock.

I had pie for breakfast.

lelkcot · July 2018

@swanbrooner I like your style, and now I want pie.

My current job ends at the end of the month and I have zero motivation and have basically just been hanging out here and reading.

applesandbananas23 · July 2018

I want pie, too!

I use naps to get out of cleaning that I don't want to do.

JLaVO888 · July 2018

I pretty much can’t stand my sister at all these days. Particularly today. She just let herself into my house when I was napping and started cooking hot dogs, eggs and siracha. I’m currently sitting outside so I don’t barf all over my living room. So much for good nap.

sejica · July 2018

I still haven't sent thank you's from dd's (13 months now

) shower. I'm going to try and make up for my tardiness by sharing this pregnancy when I do, telling the givers that she appreciated the gift so much she's sharing it with her sibling, expected in march.

purpleteacher82 · July 2018

@sejica I got married last summer and still haven’t sent wedding thank you notes.

greenbee · July 2018

@JLaVO888 Ugh. That is the worst. My husband always feels a need to cook omelettes with leftovers and, apparently, every spice we own when I'm nauseous in the morning.

@sejica I am terrible about sending thank yous in a timely fashion. I thought I was going to get them out right away from dd's birthday this year because I took photos and had them printed. Yeah. Still haven't written or mailed them.
