Ok I’ll kick it off. So I’ve locked myself out of the house with DS twice now this pregnancy. The second time I was too embarrassed to call my ILs who have a spare key so I decided we’d hang out until DH got home from work. Only problem was I really had to pee so since I was able to get in our garage I closed the door to it and got a container out of recycling... turns out peeing in all those cups for ovulation strips and pregnancy tests is a useful skill after all 🤣 I dumped it in the bushes in our yard and threw out the container.

@varimama ha, I probably would've just peed in the bushes if it were an inconspicuous spot

drunk college days skill LOL

varimama · September 2019

@stassischroeder that was my first thought unfortunately our neighbors were right outside and I didn’t think I could be hidden enough or want to risk DS yelling “mommy peeing in the bushes”. This way we had some privacy 🤣

stassischroeder · September 2019

@varimama haha good point!

miss.sally · September 2019

I’m currently hiding behind my kitchen island eating an ice cream sandwich so DS doesn’t see me and want some.

kagesstarshroom · September 2019

lol idk how much of a confession this is, but when ice from our freezer melts into water, it leaves behind these little bits of mineral deposits, and they are skeeving me out lately. I feel like a princess being like "ew" over something sooooo tiny that I... never noticed before. But I just dug one out of my current water with a knife. Gross.

This is more of an UO turned into a FFFC, but things are slow today. So this is my attempt to contribute:

I judge people who purposely eat Kraft singles or Velveeta, because that isn't food and why wouldn't you just eat real cheese? *says the lady who ate a poptart for breakfast today*

kailanae · September 2019

@stassischroeder Velveeta and salsa mixed to make queso dip with tortilla chips is my jam, lol. I grew up eating that with my family when we'd watch movies together.

stassischroeder · September 2019

@kailanae I knew someone was going to mention queso dip! LOL. My response is that you can make better queso with real cheese, but I understand that using velveeta can be easier.

varimama · September 2019

@stassischroeder haha I agree but still get velveeta once in a while because it reminds me of being a kid sometimes (idk I guess my parents thought it was food) 🤣 and see below:

@kailane we do a can of enchilada sauce with velveeta for queso dip! I didn’t even realize until I took over all the grocery shopping that was DH’s ingredients of his queso dip that I love 🤷🏻‍♀️

miss.sally · September 2019

@stassischroeder totally agree but sometimes I completely crave the taste of velveeta Mac and cheese. Or grilled cheese with American Cheese. Probably because I was never allowed that stuff as a kid so it was always a treat when I got it. Lol

momoftoddlers · September 2019

I had Chick Fil A twice this week, and I really want more.

stacey6689 · September 2019

@momoftoddlers I had Chick Fil A and Krispy Cream yesterday!!! Best of both worlds and I have no regrets lol

dunder_mifflin · September 2019

Lol these are all so good!! Making me happy on what was a shit day. I have no reason to feel shifty, I just feel very blue today and cranky and I’m choosing to stay miserable for the rest of the night, lol! It’s an active choice at this point. I was going to make a healthy dinner but I’m craving tuna salad and pickle sandwich instead so that’s what I’m going to make. I had some bolognese sauce my MIL made yesterday and my stomach is in so much pain today/ so much gas/ weird poops, and it’s making me cranky and irritable. And I am soooooo tired, i couldn’t sleep at all last night. WAHH. I’m fine just stupid irritable 14 week pregnant woman who cried on her way to work today after her husband questioned why she bought her new maternity top (yeah, DH was a piece of work today - but he apologized and honestly has been overall amazing this whole pregnancy so I guess I can let it slide).

FFF - I hate baby clothing with words on them and SIL has already bought me 10 outfits with “daddy’s girl” and the like. I know I sound ungrateful but it’s really annoying me for some reason because I feel like she just wants to dress our child - not to be helpful but because she’s a narcissistic piece of work. I feel annoyed because that is something I amlooking forward to doing. Now I feel like i have to fake it and send pictures of baby wearing them when really I’ll be donating them/using as burp cloths/to clean up poop explosions 😂

@varimama your story made me lol!
@stassischroeder real cheese > fake cheese. But I get the nostalgia. Nothing like Kraft Dinner and powdered cheese to bring me back to childhood/ drunken university nights 😂
@momoftoddlers I’ve never had chil-fil-a but I hear it’s heaven. They are opening one canada and I’m so tempted to have it when it opens but the morals/political leanings of the owners make me hesitant (there were big protests here). I hate having a moral compass sometimes 🙄

keeksie84 · September 2019

@varimama No shame in your game! I peed in bushes well into my 20s walking home from bars. I guess I have a weak bladder?

@stassischroeder I agree that real cheese is superior to fake cheese, but I 100% support Velveeta for queso and nostalgia purposes.

My FFFC a few weeks back was about Chick-fil-a! I feel like mine opinion is doubly controversial because (a) I think their chicken is just "meh" and (b) I absolutely will not support that company with all they've done to promote and fund anti LGBTQ groups and legislation. I feel the same way about Hobby Lobby.

momoftoddlers · September 2019

@dunder_mifflin Keep one outfit she bought and send pics in that and exchange the rest for stuff you do like. Your baby, your style! But do thank her graciously because at least she tried.

mrsvp614 · September 2019

@stassischroeder I only eat those “cheeses” for queso... and sometimes grilled cheese.

@dunder_mifflin I also hate clothes like that! When people have bought stuff like that, I’ve kept them as backup outfits or when we’re staying at home 🤣 Or if you haven’t used them, you could always switch them out for what you like and hope they forget.

@keeksie84 I also no longer eat at Chick-Fil-A, even though there’s one 3 minutes from my house. They’re not getting my money.

dunder_mifflin · September 2019

@momoftoddlers and @mrsvp614 yes that was my plan! Problem is my niece works for a baby clothing store so no gift receipts for me and also means a lot of volume! It will be fine

silverhope · September 2019

@dunder_mifflin oof I would maybe casually mention in front of SIL that you prefer basic clothing without wording. If your niece works for a baby clothing store, the excessive clothing items won’t stop, but maybe u can at least start getting ones that you’ll actually let the baby wear.

dunder_mifflin · September 2019

@silverhope yes! Funny story is she asked me if we will dress baby girl in pink before going shopping, and I responded yes, I prefer blushes and dusty roses that are simple and neutral colors. And she tuned up with a turquoise number with writing on it and a ton of hangers of all baby sizes, she said she was just getting “warmed up” 😂. So then I actually was like “thank you, I’m excited to see what else you bought. Also look at what I have in my shopping carts, I’m so excited about these clothes” and sent a million pictures of what I love and have my eye on. I normally wouldn’t be that fussy but because of where my niece works the volume is going to be HUGE! So I figure I may as well make my preferences known if she wants to “help.” I also went shopping with MIL and I was very clear about my taste so hopefully both work.

goodness i I hope I don’t sound ungrateful! It’s just going to be A LOT and I feel it will be a waste if I don’t day something

kantobean · September 2019

Confession: we aren’t 100% sure baby is a girl (the doc at our ultrasound said she was “right 98% of the time” but I’m still skeptical) but I still took advantage of Tea’s sale yesterday to buy baby some rompers for next summer that match a couple of DD’s dresses. Really excited for sister matches!

momoftoddlers · September 2019

@kantobean My girls are 2 and 4 and I get ridiculous joy from putting them in matching outfits. Some of my family thinks I’m crazy but right now they are little and they think it’s so fun!

dunder_mifflin · September 2019

@momoftoddlers and @kantobean ermmergerrsh matching sibling outfits are so cute! My sister and I were often put in matching outfits and my cousin has two boys, they are always dressed in matching outfits and it’s so freaking cute I can’t handle it. I’m all for it!

kantobean · September 2019

Yay! My kids will be four years apart so I know sister matches will be short lived, but a girl’s gotta try! Haha

stassischroeder · September 2019

chiming in late here, but @dunder_mifflin you don't sound ungrateful! I totally get it. I'm just as picky about things my kids wear, and essentially refuse to dress them in anything with words - or anything I don't like for that matter. I will be gracious to the gift-giver, but it will be donated. I find it hilarious that your SIL bothered to ask if you'll be dressing her in pink and then disregarded everything you said or sent her for inspiration

I know people mean well, but its your baby! My step-mom has purchased a TON of clothes for DS and I'm sure she'll buy a ton for this baby; but, to her credit, she made an effort to learn what I like to dress DS in, and most of what she bought was perfect.

dunder_mifflin · October 2019

@stassischroeder your MIL sounds reasonable! Haha that’s what I was hoping for from SIL but I guess I’ll get what I get and then just have to pretend she wore them and donate or give away 😂 The whole situation is kind of funny though, I have to admit
