Confession: I’m going to edit almost all of my posts because I don’t proof read until after I submit, and sometimes even hours later. I will almost never leave a disclaimer as to why I edited, but this is why. Lol.
@paytonpedro cheers to that. 😆 I am such an introvert and probably have a touch of social anxiety so I just prefer to be home. There’s few people I actually want to keep plans with. But I’m also big on commitment so I’m never going to be the one to cancel unless there’s an emergency.
@and_peggy oh I totally have social anxiety. I’m such a homebody that I’m perfectly content almost never leaving. Unless I’m with my husband. I cancel plans. Usually for a real reason, but not always an emergent reason. And sometimes I lie and say childcare fell through. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn’t. I’m also wishy washy about committing to plans. Luckily, my friends all know this about me and don’t hold it against me.
@and_peggy literally same. Lol. I stressed so much in the beginning of covid and then when I thought about it, I’m like my life hasn’t even really changed. I’m home all the time anyways 🤣
I dozed off for several minutes during a virtual meeting yesterday. Luckily cameras were off so I don’t think anyone knew…

+1 to being more of introvert. I cancel plans frequently ((not really we don’t know that many people here to have that many plans)) and blame it on my kids. But it’s really just because I would rather stay home.
I like Nickelback. Not like I’m a diehard fan but I like their music and don’t care if it all sounds the same. Also, 90’s-2012ish music is greater than everything after it. I don’t consider a lot on the radio these days to even really be music.
I've always been an outgoing introvert. I'm happy to be around people and hang out and do stuff. But when plans get canceled that I'm not 100% looking forward to, I'm happy to stay home and veg out, read, even do chores! I'm more of a stay at home and hang out here kinda girl anymore. I hate being on the roads at night when people have been drinking. And I especially stay put on NYE.
@aukeev I remember being a kid and my mom would throw 4 of the 5 of us in the tub at the same time when we were about 5 years old. My oldest brother was several years older the rest of us. We'd also get "stand up tubbies" where we'd basically just rinse off. I don't think baths and showers every single day for anyone are 100% necessary unless you're getting dirty and/or sweaty and stinky. Teenagers are a different story, I know! Lol
@aukeev. I do the same thing. We wash hands and faces and butts as needed but I really honestly only put my guys in the bathtub once a week. My oldest has the worst eczema and our water is super chlorinated and really irritates his skin. Not to mention, you’re right, they’re really just not dirty. Now summers of course are different. Lol.
@aukeev I frankly don’t shower every day. I work in an office, I wear deodorant and clean clothes, and my hair and skin are generally happier with me when I shower every other day. Now when I’m swimming regularly I do shower/wash hair after I get out because dry clean skin/hair is preferable to dry chloriney skin/hair.
My FFFC is WHY do people not keep appointments?! I give you a time because I know how long it takes to do what we have to do. We’re an employment agency. I want to give you a job. I have good jobs. But I do not want to stay late on Friday because you had a 4:30pm appointment that you didn’t make until 4:57 when we close at 5. Will I stay late? Yep. It’s my job. But I will be mad, and depending on the day and your luck and whether I had ice cream at lunch, I will make you feel bad. I definitely told this guy we had him scheduled at 4:30 and that I had somewhere to be at 5:30 that I was going to be late to. (I did not tell him “somewhere” was my bed with my dog and cats.)
EDITED: YALL. I JUST REALIZED. At 10:40pm. After reading all the comments in here, posting, and coming back to read the new ones. It’s not FFFCOMPLAINTS. It’s FFFCONFESSIONS. I am done braining for the day.
I don’t shower every day either, my eczema flares up if I do, especially this time of year.
I also only wash my hair once a week. (I shower more than that though, I promise!)
this isn’t necessarily a FFFC but it doesn’t really fit anywhere else either. I’ve been having a hard time getting myself in a good mental space to be productive at work lately and realized today it’s because I’m having major imposter syndrome. So I need to figure that out soon. We’re launching a new company (I’ll give more details when we go to a private group) and I’m just like “you guys really think I can do this?? Like for real??” My partners have way more faith in me than I do this week.
Thanks everyone for validating my often soap-less kid 🤣 glad to know we’re not alone. Summers are definitely a different story because he spends 80% of the day outside but winters are just not messy!
A pregnancy-related confession - I still eat my steak medium rare, and relatively frequently. We raise our own cattle and I trust the quality of the meat, processing, packaging and cooking methods. Give me those juicy red steaks 🤤🥩
@aukeev omg I love my steak rare. I think the fact that you're the one raising the cattle and know everything that goes on makes things way different than if I were to go to the store and just slap something on the grill.
My FFFC is that I've really started to loathe going to work every day. Teaching is exhausting. I'm tired of nasty attitudes from kids and coworkers. I'm tired of the lack of admin support. I stopped teaching a few years ago to take care of my mom, but came back after she passed away. I loved being home with my family. I'd so much rather be home than teaching or doing anything outside of the home, really.

@itsme215 awww well I hope you discover your partners have faith in you for a reason.
