halfpint I could have written your confession a few weeks ago. Hang in there. I get brusk w/DS sometimes - it's okay to take a break and let your DH take over. Like everything, it's a phase that will pass.
I'm starting to give up on getting DS to eat healthy or whatever. You don't want to sit for dinner? Fine, go play with the Neato, mama is eating and drinking (alcohol).
I sneak drinks during the 2WW b/c DH is ridiculous.

@brie, if its thirty-one products, I forgive you. I have a weakness for them and have way too many of their stupid bags.
I'll confess that I skip over most posts about pets, job advice, baby names or any time someone starts more than 2-3 threads on the same topic. I love you all, but I just don't have the attention span.

Also, one of my friends who sells one of the MLM supplements (can't remember which), posted this article yesterday and it took all my willpower not to respond.
Brie what did you buy? I have dropped a bunch on mlm products too, lol. But they were all on sale!!
$40 on Jam.berry stuff and about $250 on Lu.La.Roe. Some of the LLR stuff is fug but I got some really cute leggings, tops, and dresses for fall. I hope they are as comfy as my friends swear they are.

I feel like a bad poster. I rarely log in on a computer and I have all these 'likes' which I don't see on my phone or quotes that I haven't answered. I feel like a bad member of the MMM community.
We've had company since last week and I'm exhausted and so is DS1. I think it might be movie day after nap. I'm too tired to care.

I couldn't tell you the last time my 2.5 year old ate a vegetable. Pretty sure this is not a big confession around here
Maybe that I had no idea the Republican debates were even happening? We no longer have TV and between DD and this high risk pregnancy, I have no idea what's going on. I am one of those who knows about Caitlyn and Jenner and Cecil the lion but nothing about debates
Another - I took my son to the park for the first time yesterday (he's 18 mos old )
#MOTY
That isn't anything to be embarrassed about. 18 month olds can't do much except throw tantrums and get into things that they shouldn't.
This makes me feel better. I do take him out quite a bit - bubbles, sidewalk chalk, water table, walks around our hood, etc. It's tough after a work day but I still manage some days.
My boss sort of side-eyed me b/c I mentioned about the park. She has older kids though and I think moms tend to forget what it's like at various stages.
My SIL's H just posted on FB about how the republican Congresspeople and presidential candidates aren't conservative ENOUGH.
Must. Not. Engage.
Edited to be more specific above and add this:
(Oops, just realized there is no confession in here. My confession is that I really can't understand anyone who votes Republican anymore. I used to consider myself fairly independent and I could see why people might prefer either party over the other, but I cannot imagine voting for a single one of the current buffoons.)
Is "George Bush was right about _____" a finish the bottle quote in the debate drinking game?
LOL - I think mere mention of Dubya would require viewers to finish the bottle.
Anyone who wants to stay sober - - drink when a candidate discusses their specific plan for replacing Obamacare... - drink three times when a candidate credits the administration with a good decision (e.g., the auto bailout)...
I cannot stop watching Queer as Folk. My H thinks I am crazy or a hidden gay man. I really want to bang some of the men on this show. Yes I know most of them are gay. But Brian is not IRL.
I love that show. I never watched the last season, and really should.
My MLM weakness is Scentsy. I spend about $500 a year on it. For that I could buy quality candles....
Mine used to be Scentsy and Tastefully Simple. But I bought so much Scentsy stuff and use it so infrequently (damn grabby toddlers) that what we do have is lasting us forever. Plus when MIL died we took on a lot of her stuff...including her scentsy stuff. At least half of which I bought for her Thank god her taste in scents wasn't horrible.

I sometimes feed Chase a less healthy "meal" like cereal instead of oatmeal, just noodles instead of noodles with sauce, because he is still so hit or miss with food. He is just so messy and I hate having to give a bath after every meal.
I've been having a rough time lately, emotionally, but don't really have much excuse. L is doing great, my H is mostly helpful, I only work p/t but have access to f/t daycare... I think I need some me-time, maybe. Because I do all the wakeups, all tje bedtimes, all the meals (when she's home), and it's a lot. But I want a second child, which, duh, won't make things easier. And any time I mention anything to H, his first solution isn't to pitch in a little more, it's to scrap the idea of having another - I can't imagine, yet, giving that idea up. I love DD so, so, much, but am just tired of being the *only* one on-call 24/7.
Hugs, halfpint. I'm there now too. DS has been so.fucking.annoying at night lately. He thinks it's awesome to talk in this high pitched squeal (because "I'm being funny, mama!") and I've snapped at him on more than one occasion to just STOP.
@drewly WTF to them not intervening sooner! I know they can't watch every kid every second, but seriously.
I'm letting DD watch TV so I can illegally stream the season premiere of the Great British Bake-off because I want to chat about it with my friends in the UK. I see this being a weekly activity.

Round four out of four in the revolving door of visitors arrives tonight. The house is a wreck, despite me being home the last two days. In fairness, daycare has been closed, so I've been keeping children alive or whatever. I can switch from coffee to wine now, yes?
I love stalking the hdbd thread on gp do I can swoon over the Bumps.
Thank god I'm not the only one who does this. I have what I feel are valid reasons for not wanting a second right now (namely J's work schedule and the amount of solo parenting I'd be doing), but that doesn't mean that I don't miss the bump stage in a big way. Just not enough to get pregnant again.
I admitted defeat and handed my fussy baby over to my MIL so I can rest. My confession is that I'm not happy about this because MIL is BEC to me, even though she is a perfectly nice person.
I can hear him crying in the living room and I know they're trying to calm him, but the only thing that works today is my breast.
