I was one of those people who rolled my eyes at people who never wanted to leave their babies. I'm still cool with leaving him with a babysitter, but I'm going to California for 4 days on Sunday and I'm so anxious about leaving my baaaaaaaby! I feel like a turdcake for judging people before. I'm worried my MIL will be incompetent, I'm worried something horrible will happen to the plane or to me, I'm just worried. I've had to take anti-anxiety meds in order to go to shut off my brain from running through worst case scenarios all week so I can sleep.
I'm sorry for judging before. I get it.
Turdcake is amazing, first of all. I'm really sorry this is so stressful for you, I can relate and it sucks. I'm sure he'll be fine, and will have so much bonding with MIL. I hear ya, I HATE leaving my kids It's not easy at all. I went to a wedding in VT when Adam was 2.5, it really took away from my enjoyment and when it was over, we had to rush home. I am "that" mom I guess. We have another wedding this May and I need to find a sitter for Nolan, I am already stressing over it I only trust a few people, and I hate leaving him for 2 days.
I felt slightly panicked this morning when I got to work and realized I forgot my iPhone at home. I feel kind of naked without it.
I hate when I leave my phone at home. I don't know how I did it before I had a cell phone. Hell, I didn't even have a landline for almost a year and it didn't bug me.

I just feel that a ten month old cannot properly tell you when he/she has to go to the bathroom.
It isn't like traditional potty training. You just read their cues that they need to go. It is really just training the parent. It isn't for me because I'm too lazy to do that, but if someone wants to then go for it.
I thought EC was started much earlier than 10 months. I may be wrong about that because, like you, I am way to lazy to deal with that shit!
My FFFC is that Lily still naps in my arms. On occasion DH's or in the car if I time it right. I can count the number of times she's napped in the crib on one hand. No wonder my house is a pit of filth.
This is us too! There has been exactly one nap in the crib.
She WILL nap at all sitters houses in PNPs. But we must hold or cuddle her.
Mine is, that i am in no way a holier than thou parenter. And i have said before that i dont like judging other moms especially on parenting technique. Well i am a Hypocrite. This chick on FB is driving me batshit crazy and i want to reach through the computer and punch her. SHe is potty training her 10.5 month old, and wrote how they finally had success. How can you potty train a ten month old??Also she just took her to the dentist already. So i did all this research on when you first bring your child to the dentist. Anyways she went to get her teeth CAPPED. She chipped her two front teeth and she does modeling work so she had them capped. What the freaking freak. I mean is this normal? what would you guys do for chipped teeth? All these crazy posts in a matter of two days. IM judging and sideying and much much more. I want to block her but then i wouldnt be able to see her crazy posts.

My FFFC is that we intentionally broke my phone so that I could upgrade to a new phone, but it backfired on us because they are sending me a refurbished phone. The same one I had.
WE are leaving DS2 for the weekend (DH, DS1, and I are leaving insanely early tomorrow morning for an out of state wedding that would have been a major PITA to bring the baby for numerous reasons - we get back Monday afternoon) and I am feeling really stressed about leaving him (our nanny is staying at our house for the weekend). The flameful-ish part is that I left DS1 several times for long weekends when he was under a year and I never stressed about it at all, in part because he was such an intense baby that going away was kind of a good break. SO, now I have major mom guilt about not feeling the same way towards the two kids as babies.
Also, I know people who have done elimination communicaton, and I think it is ridiculous. You aren't training your kid, you are training yourself. True potty training comes when I don't need to tell my kid to go to the bathroom, or keep an eye on the time, or have him "try", etc etc etc. Until they can accomplish that, I don't want to deal with it. (which is why I waited until 3 with DS1, lol). Diapers aren't evil, just let the kid poop in a diaper. No big deal.

Ever since the birthday party topic has been brought up, I've been googling/pinteresting "Dr Seuss party" any free time I get. Ahhhh I'm obsessed. This party is going to be 4 months in the making.
No sex in 2012. Where is my abstinence medal and induction into the Wasted Vaginal Society of The Americas?
Lol! Me too!
Thank you! Whew...I'm not the only one. FTR, we talk about it, we bought condoms, etc. DH wants to move D into her room but it is in his office that's full of shit. He wouldn't deal with it when I was pregnant or in the past 9mos and doesn't seem motivated to do so now. The couch isn't comfortable..I guess it's a stalemate. No pun intended.

We talk about it too, but then one of us falls asleep or is too busy. He was writing his dissertation, I was going to the gym, now he's back at med school, I'm falling asleep too early, etc. It will happen eventually!

My confession: Zoe and I slept all night long in the recliner together. She couldn't breathe from being stuff and the frida wasn't working and she wanted to eat all night. I needed sleep, so we slept propped up.

shyly raises hand Poor DH, I think he has given up on sexy time in our home. I'm always too tired or busy................or in general hate my pp jelly belly. The three of us shall proudly wear these badges. damnit, I really need to get back to work.
I made a post before "bitching/whining" about Leia sleeping in her car seat. We still have not moved her ass to her bed. I don't know if she would sleep as well. I'm starting to worry about what will happen when she is too big for her car seat, or if I should bed share.
I refuse to admit to my hubby that I can rock Pey to sleep. It's a win win though, because not only do I get a break in the MOTN when nursing fails to work, but now DH thinks he is super dad. Hahaha.
Sometimes I pretend I can't do things just to make him feel good. He feels like he's never here with his long days and drive time.
I'm pissed at my husband. I'm on a work trip-yes, I am drinking, but I am drinking to schmooze! He is acting like it is such a hardship to be at his parent's house with the baby!!! He has help! It is only 4 days! Buck up, man!
Rjamz, I was so worried about leaving. Honestly though, I feel like a million bucks being an adult without a kid for a few days. Enjoy your trip!!
