FFFC / UO

[dixeedeluxe]

I don't think we did UO yesterday so how 'bout all at once!

[dixeedeluxe]

I'm pretty sure my kids watch significantly more television than other kids and sometimes I feel bad about it. So yesterday I asked Edie if she likes outside or TV better. She said outside so, WHEW!

[rjamz]

dixeedeluxe, I sometimes feel that way about Jamie too.

[rjamz]

I plan on buying baby wipes forever, even after my kids need them. They're the best thing ever

Lillian watches a lot of TV too. H and I are TV watchers and it's normal for us to have the TV on a lot. She has only really started to sit and watch a movie or a show within the past year. She didn't really care before.

We eat in the living room, TV on. Last night during a Disney Jr commercial for Miles from Tomorrow land. They were talking about keeping all your tech stuff off during meal time because it's important to talk to each other or something like that. Whatevs.

I grew up like this and I'm awesome. Just fartin'.

We watch a lot of tv here. A lot.

I debated for 15 seconds still sending Andrew to daycare after he puked. I didn't see or hear it start but he has a cough that has led to a lot of gagging and I think it might have just been caused by him gagging himself. Then I remembered how puke it actually was and figured better to be safe (and not a douche) When I called daycare to tell them he won't be attending, I asked and apparently a bug is making its way through the school so I feel better about my decision. One of Andrew's teacher's has her daughter in his class and she said that happened with her the other day. Thought it was just a gag puke from her cold, but then her DD was actually sick.

Adeline has had really stinky pee her entire life. I finally had the doc look at it. He sent it away for whatever testing they do. She has a bacterial infection and they are putting her on Augmentin. That's fine, but has she had a bacterial infection for over 3 years?! Is there something that they should be testing for that the urinalysis didn't test for? Ugh. I hate this.

I take her back when she's done this course, so I can ask the pedi then.

Also, now I get to go to Target at lunch to get her meds instead of going to the gym. Heehee

Does she take a vitamin every day or anything like that?

I gave myself a manicure at home the other night (ie, I painted my nails) and did a statement nail.

Apparently I chose the wrong nail for a statement nail, so now my statement is F-You, but with sparkles!

[dixeedeluxe]

devotchka, nope.

darn. i wish i had a magical answer for you but i seriously doubt she's had an infection all her life! i know vitamins and fish oil can cause pee to be stinky. the antibiotics will probably too. sigh. the human body is a magical thing! lol... 

[dixeedeluxe]

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense to me! And I'm not finding anything that very strong urine is ever normal. I should've asked the doctor but I really HATE talking on the phone.

Baby wipes for life. DD has been out of diapers for over a year but I still buy them by the case at Costco.

[irishsara]

I wish people would just own their parenting decisions. I hear IRL and here too people trying to explain it away and it drives me crazy!

"We turned his car seat around BUT only in the car he's only in once a week and he's only in it for 20 minutes"

Just say "he's forward facing sometimes."

Or "omg! We had pizza for dinner. But, he had a salad for lunch and ate only a small piece of pizza and begged for extra vegetables!"

Everyone slacks sometimes. No one is the perfect parent! Just say it and own it!

I am having one of those days, a super insecure I don't like myself, I can't do anything right, I am so fat and ugly, kind of days. Ugh, I want to shake it.

Nope. I refuse to accept this hypothesis as I know it to be completely false. You are beautiful.

[bebeetmoi]

sunshineluv in case you need reminding- you're gorgeous:)

You need to use Huggies Nature Care wipes. No smell and no weird texture.

DH wants to cut cable. I'm being really stubborn about it. He says it will save us like $115/mo. I don't really care. Yes, I know we can get shows other ways, for less $$, but I like being able to turn on the tv and watch whatever suits my fancy...he isn't the one watching tv so he doesn't really care if it's gone. Yes I understand about saving money, but I love tv too much!

Agreed! I love those. I can't use other wipes.

I like these Costco ones:

Look into sling TV. We have it. It's like $20-25 a month and it has lots of common stations. It's all online so you can watch on your phone and tablet too.

People on this board care more about my children than their own father does. It's not even an UO its a fact.

I'm so sorry Hugs! <3

[spaghetticat]

Hugs sunshineluv. You are none of those things!

Joanna's diaper/underwear area has been really stank since around 3. Idk what it is. I never noticed it when she was younger, even though we only used wipes after poop and before/after bed. Of course now that she is PT we don't use wipes, just TP. She gets a bath e/o day, same as always. Is this a normal thing? Do kids just get smellier?

I notice my girls' crotches start to stink after 2 days.

Me too! But most clean stuff, like soap, grosses me out which is not normal, lol.
