We turned E forward in her carseat a couple weeks ago afer she hit 22m. It was a gut wrenching decision for me. Seriously, I may have cried while DH was doing it, but literally every car ride resulted in a meltdown, even just to daycare. I couldn't handle hearing "out out out, walk walk walk" between tears.
I saw 50SOG yesterday. With a (female) friend. Friend's H and my H watched our 2 babies while we were gone. When we got home, I made dinner for us all, then they went home. Once they left, I told DH one scene in the movie made me "hot and bothered", while the rest was a bit much, and for a moment he was intrigued. Then he thought about it and said "honeyyyy I'm so tired, not tonight". Isn't that supposed to be my line?
Disclaimer: Before anyone gets their hackles up, I don't support anything but consensual relationships. I don't like male dominance/control of women (or female control of men for that matter) for the sake of demeaning them, etc., etc., etc.
Since our life is kind of a mess I'm reading this organization book (The life changing magic of tidying up) and dreaming of throwing out like 60% of what we own because it really is just clutter. But I know as soon as we're back to our house I'll be tired and overwhelmed and ya know, taking care of 2 infants during the day, and therefore it'll never get done. So my confession is clutter and laziness I suppose lol. And also that I'm reading a book about organization - that's probably the biggest confession

OMG I cannot roll my eyes hard enough at the whole "50 shades of gray is about abuse" bullshit. It's fiction. It's FANFIC based off twilight. I personally have a hard time giving anyone literacy credit when you write something based off a bad teen series.
It was a way for the middle aged woman to get her groove back on while delving into the pages of a book. It's no different than the romance novels my mom and all her friends read in the summers when we spent all weekend at the neighborhood pool.
ETA: I wasn't disagreeing with you @mrsspunky, just eyerolling that you even had to put that disclaimer in there.

I am starting a legitimate quest to get rid of 15% of the stuff in my house. I'm planning to do one shelf or drawer a night. I don't know if I will succeed, but I really want to try! You could do it too!

I let my dogs lick DD's spit up off the floor. I know it's gross, but that way I don't have to wipe it up.
Meh, then I'm gross too. The first time, the dog found it before I even had a chance to get a paper towel. DD hasn't spit up in awhile, but after that, we started directing her to DD's spit up.
We took E on a walk around the neighborhood yesterday, and on 2 separate occasions, older kids approached us and started touching E's head, all without asking and while their parents were standing nearby watching.
I was so shocked and couldn't think of something more polite than "STOP TOUCHING MY BABY," so I just sort of said nothing and tried to get out of the situation.
I'm still annoyed, and I'm judging the parents for not saying something like "ask if you can touch that baby."
Also, I hate most stuff that says something about being "Mom" on it. It's okay when DD makes an art project, but I will cut someone if I ever receive one of those corny plaques or mugs that says something like, "to the world you are a mother, but to your family you are the world."

She's 100x happier turned around.
This is not flameful! It's probably more flameful that I don't want to turn DD at 3yo and am so butthurt about H wanting to do it
My flameful- I have a hangover from drinking too much with my sister yesterday. The TV will be used a lot today.

Your DD is FF, right? For some reason the fact that it's breast milk makes it grosser in my mind. But I'm also someone who's horrified at the thought of taking a sip of my own breast milk, which I learned on this board is a common thing to do, so this may just be my own weirdness.

Yes, she is FF, but according to DH who accidentally ingested some, it tastes NASTY.

We moved in July and got rid of a bunch of stuff. We are moving this weekend and I am getting rid of more stuff. I LOVE IT!
This will probably get me shunned but I do not see the appeal of "The Shirt". Seems to be a lot of money for a t-shirt that looks kind of strange to me. But I will say lots of good looking MMM's wearing it this past week.
Not so much a flameful/confession, as a dumb question: How likely is it that O is going to ask to taste breastmilk when he sees the new baby drink it. Is it weird to let him try some?
I'm pretty sure I'm going to start passive aggressively repeating back some of the comments dh has made to me in the last few days rather than discussing the hypocrisy For example: Me: I'm going to feed ds2 and then change the boys diapers and we'll be ready to go shopping. How much time do you need? Dh: I don't know I haven't had a chance to think about myself at all today
Note, he had an hour to himself this morning before ds1 woke up, and his spending time with ds2 involved putting the baby in the jumperoo. Then when I took the bored fussy baby for a nap, he turned Netflix on for ds1...
I was a neat freak while pregnant. I feel like I need to get # 2 going, so I can have a presentable house again. Even my mom commented that she's never seen me be so neat.

I'm having all sorts of feelings about BFing/weaning lately. I go back and forth between wanting to be done just after a year and wanting to continue and let L decide when he is ready. I'm so sick of being bitten. He has bit me during at least 75% of sessions the last week or so and I'm so over it. It also doesn't help that he's been up 3 or 4 times MOTN lately. I guess my flameful is that I really don't know how to wean. He is so attached to his before naps/bed and MOTN sessions that I imagine it will be a week long scream fest with no sleep for anyone if I try and I just don't have the energy for that.
I never thought this was flameful, but the thread makes me think it is. Sometimes when J is sick, I mix BM with his regular milk to help him get the antibodies. I mean, he's two. If we had done natural weaning (as opposed to him never latching and me getting sick of pumping), he'd still be getting BM anyway most likely.
This would be flameful if he were 12. Not flameful at 2.
I just have a problem with Fifty Shades when young girls/women are reading it and thinking that's what a relationship should be. But I don't support censorship by any means. I just want there to be information out there for young women that it's not cool!
I'd rather just watch porn than read erotica anyway, lol.
There was something about seeing the movie that was better than the actual words on the page, but also much much worse. I think the book was pretty bad. Not only its prose, but how controlling Christian was and all of that. You know, the actual premise of the book. This movie didn't make him seem like as terrible a human being and completely unredeemable as the (first) book did. It glossed over a lot, making him seem not much worse than your generic brooding male lead character in any movie geared towards women. (which is the bad, that I can see the parallel between this man and Colin Firth, for instance in BJD, and thus equate this movie with some love saga) At certain parts, the movie made Ana more cheeky and sarcastic than she came across in the book. But there was a lot of needless heavy breathing and not enough naked Jamie Dornan.
I bribed my daughter to cut her nails. Normally I do it while she is asleep, but as she gets older that's not really a possibility. I bribed her with nail polish, so now she has a pink manicure and pedicure. It is super adorable. I'm not sure if that's a confession or not?
I think breast milk alcohol detection kits are stupid.
Please flame me!!!!
I think they are kind of silly, but I will share this anecdote. In the hospital, I was told NO alcohol at all for BFing moms. Knowing that those strips were out there gave me a sense of security, and made it less likely for me, as what I will call a "casual BFer" to be at 2 weeks in, "fuck this, my nips are going to fall off, I haven't slept, and I can't even have a motherfucking glass of WINE??" LOL. They start the conversation about alcohol and BFing in the non-KellyMom arena, which is a good thing, IMO.

I didn't wean at a year (and DD didn't self-wean until she was over 2.5, so there's that...), but I did start putting firm limits on nursing shortly after she turned one. Bite me? We're done for now; you can try again later. Try to rip my shirt off instead of signing/asking for milk? Not right now; you can nurse when you ask nicely. I wouldn't hesitate to wean if you're over it, but if you're not sure, working out some ground rules might make it less frustrating until you're ready to wean.
