Any weekend confessions?

[FastHands]

I'll go first! Very flameful.. DS was a few seconds of frustration from crawling on Saturday while MIL and her H were here, and I was all "awww he's getting sleepy" and picked him up. I didn't want them to be there for his first crawl. I couldn't help it! But it 100% makes me an asshole.

[VeryViolet]

Maybe it is flameful but don't feel bad because I would totally have done the same thing.

LOL, awww!

[Monica Geller]

I was annoyed that my MIL/FIL was there the first time I held my baby. I just wanted them to get the fuck out. After I was wheeled back to my bed and waited for David, MIL fucking picked him up before me. H was taping it and I could see on my face I was like "okay, can I have my baby now?" He was screaming until she finally fucking handed him to me. Ugh.

Ha, that's pretty funny.

I fear I'm too lazy. The first 6 months I diligently took DS' pictures on the days he turned __months. Someone gave me a pack of 12 iron-on decals marking each month, I never ironed them on, just putting them on top of his onesies for the pictures. This worked well enough until I started to slack off and take pictures days after the actual day. Most recently I didn't even bother positioning the decal since he's not cooperating, so in all the pictures he's playing with the decal and crumbling it into a ball. There was one photo in which you could just make out the words "10 months." That's good enough and I called it a day.

WHAT. Omg that is completely reprehensible.
J/K, I printed mine on computer paper and taped them to his onesie. He's pushing 8.5mos and I'm telling myself I will retake this, but... yeah probably not.

I understand wanting to have those moments to yourself. For Easter this year, only DS and one of my cousin's were young enough to look for eggs, and it was the first time DS was old enough to really get it. So H and I, my mom, and my cousin's mom and grandma went outside to watch. My cousin's grandma grabbed DS's hand and started leading him around.

NOPE! Go lead your own granddaughter around, not my kid who you aren't even related to. I pulled DS toward me, glared at her, and went to the other side of the yard. Even my mom, who watches DS while H and I work, didn't try to step in.

Hah. And the laziness gets worse with each kid, too.

Kid #1 I did the monthly stickers on time. Kid #2, eh, maybe a day or two behind. Kid #3? Lol. I'm like "ughh, I guess it's time for that monthly photo..."

Same with baby books. Sofia's is full, I gave up on Theo's after 5ish months, and Ilya has exactly nothing written down anywhere. Poor kid.

I never got out of my PJs on saturday

Since this post is mostly about inlaw's....

I'm perturbed that I can't get a straight answer from my DH on whether or not his parents got the Dtap vaccine. I think my MIL got the booster, but I'm still unsure about my FIL. I hate that I'm the asshole who keeps on nagging about this.

I'm planning on breast-feeding my baby (this is unheard of for my my family and my inlaws). My MIL is a story-repeater. She always tells me the story about how my SIL tried to BF but wasn't having success and had a miserable baby and was basically losing her mind. MIL took the baby for a weekend, fed the baby formula retuned the baby after a few nights and SIL and baby lived happily EverAfter. So the offer has been made to me over and over that she can take my baby and get him on a schedule if I'm unsuccessful with BF. This upsets me because there's the insinuation that BF will cause a lot of unnecessary stress for me, DH and Baby. I'm praying I'll be successful with BF!

I am not going to lie stubborness and a desire to give a big f you to some a-holes was at least a partial motivator for my EPing for as long as I did. I mean the baby still got the breastmilk even if it tasted slightly like my spite.

Ugh, that is awful. I'd be more upset about how she is planning on saving your baby from you. Even if BFing doesn't work out for you, you're still the mom and perfectly capable of feeding your child in any way you can.

My in-laws stayed with us for three weeks after DD was born. My confession is I pretty much wanted to kill them the entire time.

[Serenity9]

Sunday was an absolutely gorgeous day, and I didn't leave the house. Except to take the garbage out.

I failed to do all my chores last weekend when it was chilly out, and I had to get them done this weekend.

I'd be fucking livid about this.

I am too. Getting an answer today.

Heck, I'll say a prayer for you too because I wouldn't want to hear it forever about how I was unsuccessful and my MIL saved the world my baby *eye roll*

I want to "love" this post so hard.

My DS is obsessed with Firehouse Subs. It's embarassing. It's on the way home from daycare and he will yell out "Meatball! Pickles! Lemnade!" When we walk in he will yell "yayy!" and clap his hands. But I've tricked him. Lemonade is actually lemon Dasani from that crazy drink machine. He only gets lemonade when we go there. He doesn't really like chips. He will eat a few and then play with them so I don't get him chips but he begs for mine so I give him "tiny chips" which are basically large crumbs. He claps and says "yay tiny chips!"

[whiskeyandwine]

OMG, EB, I can't imagine! How can people be so dense?!

YourMother- I made my mom ask her doctor if she or my dad needed it! Lol. I need to find out abt my ILs though. Damn.

Lol.  We give W the lemon Desani, too.  And he got his won bag of chips, so it's his favorite restaurant (or "lunchrant") in the world.
