I'm so sick, and it's so frustrating not being able to take anything besides tylenol. And being sick and having a baby is hard.
I found this link very helpful when I was still nursing. My pedi's office wouldn't give me any info on if I could take a medicine a derm was prescribing to be (ass covering jerk faces) but they told me to check there and I've used it ever since. HTH and hope you feel better soon!
flame my annoying husband: we are going to visit his parents this weekend and i made a note on my list to bring my medjool dates because i'm currently obsessed with them. h told me to leave them at home, because they would make his parents feel uncomfortable. apparently when they were here last all of the "exotic" foods we had made them feel out of place. exotic foods list: avocado, dark chocolate almond milk, medjool dates, goat cheese.
eta: they are the sweetest people alive and from an incredibly small n. ga town, so i understand not being familiar w certain food items. but h doesn't want me to bring the dates because i think his parents can handle seeing me eat a few dates. okay, an entire tub of dates.

Whaaaat? How does YOUR food make THEM uncomfortable?
I was in the habit of using cisgendered for awhile. It's primarily used in true safe spaces where it's inappropriate and frowned upon to assume someone identifies as their physical gender. Using cisgendered is a rapid way to communicate where you are at on that spectrum and useful when receiving or giving sexually/reproductive health relevant advice. The person who suggested it is to reduce the otherness of different gender identies was pretty spot on. When I spent a lot of time in those spaces, it definitely works its way into your normal lingo. I don't understand hemming and hawing over it in a forum environment like this, but it does have a purpose in others.

I always bring candy when I visit my ILs because they don't have any. I sneak off into our room and eat it.
I posted this on MMM at first, thinking it was ML, but here it is again:
I have one, but it feels so mean
As you all know that the daycare plans fell through. MIL is going to watch E every Friday and it's SO nice of her to do this. She will also watch him the first 3 days when I go back to work.
She has been talking about staying overnight every Thursday and including the first 3 nights.
I don't really want her to do that. I just want to come home to my sweet baby and not have to have MIL around. But she's an awesome cook too. I don't know why I'm all blahh about this.
But I'm not going to say anything, H mentioned that he doesn't want her staying overnight every week and he will talk to her if needed. She lives 35 miles away.
I feel mean because I'm totally fine with my parents staying here for over a week. They live 250 miles away though. And they don't drive me crazy like MIL does.
Side note: I truly love MIL. It's just that she drives us nuts. But I really appreciate her helping us out. Very grateful.
Not flameful. I totally get it. Your home isn't completely your own when you have guests. I would feel the same way.

I don't think it is that hard to keep a house clean. I have a 4 year old in baseball, a one year old and a demanding full time job. My H works 60 hours a week. I just clean a little every night. A different chore everyday. My mom made me clean something in the house while I was growing up every day though. I had a calender.
My confession? I rather give my H a bj/hj than have actual sex. iI get sore very quickly from sex most of the time, no matter the foreplay or lube, unless it is 5 minutes or less. I feel bad that he doesn't get any hence the oral.
Admittedly we have had little action as of late. Exhaustion and stress can do it to you.
Do you have kids? I had the same problem but after having a baby it hasn't been a problem. He was a rather large baby...lol
No kids Though I guess that would stretch out the ol' vag muscles

Not. That. Hard.
No one hate me, ok?
That's great. I don't think most people's taxes are that hard (without software). But steam cleaning the carpets biweekly would make me insane. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

This is true.
And after posing it I read it... and realized that since we are out of the house so much that is probably why I can keep it so clean. LOL.
Before y'all break out pitchforks - I am a shit cook, though. And my closet has no rhyme or reason to it.
Oh I don't doubt that it's not THAT HARD to keep a house clean. I would just rather sit on my ass after eating dinner than get up and clean some shit. I will fully own that.
My children follow me around tearing up the shit I just cleaned up.

I have a confession -- I am EXTREMELY attracted to a close friend's husband. Who is also a good friend of my H. I have felt this way for the over 2 years we have known them. I have fantasies about swinging with them and have had some really amazing dreams about him. I think he feels it too--but obviously we've never discussed it. I would not act on it and destroy 2 families and 6 kids, but damn.
