My parents want to make a big deal for H's bday and I am annoyed. It is completely petty and I am being childish, but I don't care. Everyone ignored my bday (which was 10 days after I gave birth, I wanted to go to my favorite pizza place, but H said he was too tired and just wanted to stay home) and H was a dick to me on mothers day, so there is no way I am putting effort into H's bday.
Here's a really, really stupid confession. An irrational annoyance of mine. It bugs me to no end that MM still entertains or responds to bliss. Her newest SN was created to tell the board to fuck off. She flaked on SS, then pops back in a few months later with the same stupid questions and they respond like she's going to take their advice. I just cannot understand why they even bother responding to her, especially after her fuck off post and the fact she stiffed Farmville on SS.
Stupid, irrational annoyance, I know. Not even my home board, so I probably shouldn't care.
She drives me nuts. I think I actually hate her. The poster's who reply with "well I think you're a nice person...", or "she's still young". No. Stop. She knows what she's doing and she's a complete liar, totally dramatic and also an asshole.
I realize this is overkill, but I have nothing else to do lol.

agreed. She will also make posts that she knows people will answer to ($ related posts that give people a chance to brag on their $ which MM loves to do, naturally).
She said recently that she is sending you a gift to make up for SS.
I am childishly angry that my maternity leave wasn't the relaxing break  I had had planned. I thought my mom was going to keep J at least in the mornings, then we'd all get together after her nap or something. I've spent way too much time in the last 3 weeks (since H went back to work) alone with both girls, just hoping E would go to sleep.  I have barely relaxed at all, day or night. My hat is off to SAHMs of babies and toddlers, because this has been torture for me. I go back on Monday.
I get this. Even though I'm a SAHM I moved to be closer to my family to have help when DS3 was born. 2 aunts, my dad, my 2 sisters and my grandma all live here and I still feel so alone. It's been 8 months since we've moved now, so I've readjusted expectations and now just appreciate them for what they do provide, but in the beginning I was really frustrated with them. Sorry your ML wasn't as relaxing as you envisioned. Hopefully you all can find a good groove when you're back to work.
She said recently that she is sending you a gift to make up for SS.
Have you seen that gift yet?
Nope. She said she's sent 2 so far. Nothing. I'd rather she keeps her money though, it's past the fun part and it's shitbaggy to force a gift from someone who could use that $ for living expenses kwim
Oh no. I don't want her to buy you one. I just was pointing out that she said - yet again - that she is sending a gift.

I will happily send farmvillelover a gift since Bliss never had the time to pick up the one I sent her from the post office. When I pulled her name that time I was like "You have got to be fucking kidding me!" And then thought "well, that's what happens w GoDawgs sets up a fucking SS" smh. Never again!
What? So Bliss couldn't even be bothered to go pick up her gift even? Why join SS if you aren't going to mail a gift OR pick the one up you are sent.
Either Bliss is an idiot, has no legs and arms and types with her face, or she just enjoys fucking things up.
I guess this is only a confession because we never even interacted, so I don't know why it matters to me. But I kinda miss her!
Lol, I was browsing through her ig the other day and I noticed a comment by someone with the name veronatits. I guess someone took it upon themselves to make a Veronika parody account. People are so crazy.
My confessional is that some people are weirdly smug about weddings and it's not very becoming.
I agree. I intentionally avoided that wedding gripes thread because honestly, as a guest, I couldn't care less what people's weddings are like. I'm there to have fun and celebrate with them, not to pick apart what they did wrong.
I also confess to not having any patience for brides who want want want everyyyythingggg to be just perfect. I realize I was the same way. I know it makes me an old lady hypocrite, but I just don't have time in my life to care about any of it. I am sick to death at the enormous amt of money spent on all of the indulgent bullshit that goes into a wedding.

I totally know how you feel. It's normal. I hope it is, anyways.
When dh went back to work (after the 1st week) he went back to traveling right away too. I had *thought* he was going to take a few weeks off and stay at the office here. I was wrong.
Although we kept Adele in daycare while I was on ML, when I would have to pick her up at 4pm, I would count down the hours until I could take her back again.
Between the witching hours with Hazel, Adele being a needy toddler, trying to be relaxed enough to breastfeed, trying to get one or both kids down for the night, still keep me somewhat showered and clean and fed, it was an exhausting nightmare. I'm sure the post postpartum hormones were at work too, but I'm certain I cried nearly every night out of sheer exhaustion and fear and failure.
I need to find a therapist but I have no idea on how to go about finding one. When I saw one for my PPD, I found one that specialized in that. My issues now aren't related to PPD.
I am feeling pretty shitty about myself these days. I am not cut out to be a mom at all. I love my kids and go through the motions and do fun stuff with them, but I am pretty sure I shouldn't have had kids. I am tired all the time, irritated with them and it's not their fault. They are just kids. And good ones at that.
I want to enjoy my time with them and love to play with them and love to be with them. I want to be one of those moms who loves being with their kids 24/7 instead of counting down the minutes until bedtime when I can have some quiet.
I know this sounds awful and I will probably get flamed to hell for it.
As I can see from your signature line, our kids are the same age.
I wanted to like your post 70 billion times. This is how I feel RIGHT now about my kids too and it's an awful feeling.
I've gotten so use to going to Indian weddings that clothing changes are a given. Something new has to be worn to each and every ceremony and everyone changes between the wedding and reception.
I had so much fun at my friend's Indian wedding. One of our other sorority sisters was in the wedding party, so I wore whatever sari she wasn't wearing at the time. I loved it!

I don't know if I should laugh at the thought of maternity leave being relaxing or hug you because this shit is hard. HAAAARRRRD. The neverendingness of the eating, changing, sleeping cycle of effort is mind numbingly awful. If Defcon 1 = I will shake this mother fucking baby, I was at Defcon 2 yesterday. It's torture for everyone, we all just have to gut through it until they become enjoyable human beings. I'm so sorry you haven't gotten the support you need. It makes such a difference.

Are we still confessing?
You guys might remember that there was a pretty unprofessional, disrespectful incident at my old school that led to me resigning and getting a new job. When I left, the guy who had disrespected me told me I was too young to know what I wanted and that he knew better than I did what was good for me, and that I'd hate it at my new job.
THAT MOTHERFUCKER GOT FIRED TODAY FOR A STATE TESTING VIOLATION. He lied about providing adequate training and then tried to cover it up and lied to save his ass, but his office is empty now. And he always used to say, "I'm not losing my job because you screw up this testing!"
I do this. I'll wear something church appropriate for the ceremony, then something much more evening/fun for the reception.
I have no interest in being the girl in the champagne sequined dress at the church!
My first time at a Catholic wedding/wedding with a gap I had no idea this was an option. Like, it just didn't occur to me. My H and I were looking all around the church at all the women in their floral print capris and blouses. Meanwhile, we're in a gown and suit.
Is it also common for people to just skip the ceremony? There were easily double the amount of people at the ceremony for that wedding. I would have been so pissed if I were the bride.
Some people do this, but this is where I become a fussy grinch. If you are invited to the wedding, go to the darn ceremony, lol :-)
