Here's my unflameful "flameful" (to go with the theme of canned veggies and FF at over 2 years old): We are going to feed DD solids for the first time on Thanksgiving (SWEET POTATOES!!!!). And for some ridiculous reason I feel guilty giving her solids 4 days before she's 6 months old. Because WHO and AAP and my pedi say wait until 6 months.
I know, I'm an embarrassment.
I plan to mash up some carrots for L, and she'll only be 5.5 months. She is so interested and grabby at our food, I don't think it will scar her too much.
I skipped to the end of this thread because I got to, like, page 5 with nothing flameful. I agree that Thanksgiving food is meh, but I like the tradition. Also, I hate both pumpkin and peppermint. And sweet potatoes. And stuffing. And jello mold. Really, the only things I eat at Thanksgiving are turkey and veggies, and copious amounts of mashed potatoes.
Isn't changing into hang-out clothes at the end of the work day standard operating procedure? Though I'm too lazy for even that, so I'll just take my pants and blazer off and walk around in a shirt and undies.
Pajama-related confession: I am wearing maternity sweats right now.
I still wear my maternity ON fold down capri sweats and actually have a few tops that are maternity that I can still get away with wearing without appearing PG.
Pulling out during sex baffles me. Isn't that messy and ruin the moment?
I'm always surprised by the # of people who use it as their primary method of bc. To me, it's not that much better than just using a condom. Idk, different strokes for different folks I guess, lol.
My TMI sex confess is that I could happily live without penetrative sex for the rest of my life and just stick with oral. That's the other thing that surprises me in the sex threads: the # of people who say they don't like to be on the receiving end. They are missing out
I think it just really depends on how you match up with your significant other. I was in previous relationships where I felt this way but with my DH, I'll take regular sex over oral every time. And it's not that the oral is bad, it's just that the regular is that much better. And quicker.
I was a judgmental ass today. Since I kept it to myself at the Dr's office, I'll share it here.
Dd had her 2 year well child check this afternoon. It was the first one that H has missed and I was kind of struggling to wrangle dd (who I'd woken up from a nap to make the appt on time), update our health insurance information, etc.
Another mother is leaving checking out with 3 kids. One very newborn, another toddler age and another maybe 3.5-5 years. The oldest child was totally losing her shit. Laying on the floor, screaming, clearly very agitated. The mother is simultaneously checking out, holding the infant and yelling "Shut up or I will give you something to cry about!"
I was stunned. On one hand, I almost walked over to offer assistance. On the other hand, the older child was probably overwhelmed and needed someone to not scream at her. I mean, who threatens physical abuse in their pediatrician's office!?
Eh....she was probably just overwhelmed. I can tell you that that there have been times when my DS has lost his shit and I have said things I shouldn't have said, even though I would never lay my hands on him. Having a newborn, toddler and older child in a public place and the older child throwing a fit and saying something in a fit of frustration? Yeah, I am not going to judge.
My confession is that I can tell that my DH is more attracted to me now that I'm in better shape. I don't know how I feel about it.
He met me and married me when I was at one of my heaviest non-pregnant points so I know he loves me at any size. And I like the attention now, I like that he finds me hot and is more affectionate, and it's not like he's outright said anything even remotely about it, he's not stupid lol.
That's how everyone makes stuffing, right? I've never had stuffing that was anything but cheap white bread, spices, celery, onions, (and apples in my mom's). Does your mom's call for a whole pound of melted margarine like my mom's does? It's delicious - 100x better than my MIL's that's basically the same recipe but made with butter.
Some people in the South make cornbread dressing. My mom is from Alabama and has always used white bread, though.
My dad will only eat cornbread dressing. My mom has been stuck making both stuffing and dressing each Thanksgiving.

I mean I dress business casual, MAJOR emphasis on the "casual" and that shit is off the second I am in the door.
A confession would be keeping trouser pants all night because then I would be all, What, you think you're better than me?
Ha! I guess I assume other people change into jeans and t-shirts or something.
