Confessions

I actually read this on another forum and thought it was a good idea. I don't know if this has ever been done before on OB but I thought I'd give it a go. It's just a way to get rid of your guilt and have something fun to read.

I'll go first...........

 

I confess I haven't been trying hard to lose weight. I don't exercise and I don't eat that well so I can't really expect to be losing the weight but I keep my husband hoping that I will.

 

I confess that in the first few days after my DS birth that I wanted to return him to the hospital. I couldn't cope and was thinking that having him ruined my life. I LOVE HIM TO DEATH NOW AND FOREVER!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry I ever thought that.

 

I confess that I'm not that interested in going back to school after having been out of school for too long. I wonder if I'll ever get back at it. I hope I don't become a SAHM forever.

 

I confess I am glad my DH left so that I can have some alone time. I'm already getting sick of his cousin after he's been here for 1 day! (he'll be here for a month!)

 

OK...hope you guys will make some confessions too.

 

 

 

O great OhBaby, boy have I got some confessions!

I confess that sometimes my daughter eats nothing but jars of food and biscuts for a day.

I confess that right now, I'd rather be a single mum so I only had one child to deal with

I confess that as much as I whinge about the baby weight, I don't really mind it unless I'm trying to find clothes that fit.

What a great idea.

I confess that I am not coping and taking it out on my poor DH who has been a pillar of strength (finally got the courage to ring MMH - phew).

I confess that I dont want to give up dairy even though it will probably get rid of Jakes reflux (I will stop, I just dont want to).

I confess that right now I hate my body but instead of doing something about it I keep baking brownies and eating the evidence before DH gets home.

I confess that until I get myself sorted I really want DH to just take what ever crap I deal at him. (Totally unfair on him, and he shouldnt have to put up with it).

Hmm, I sound like a biarch.

good idea

i confess that the house being in the state it is really annoys me but i just dont have the energy to clean it. The lazziness outways the hate of the mess

i confess that sometimes my son really gets on my nerves - but then he smiles and i feel guilty

i confess that everytime i go to work on saturday i secretly hope that dh would have organised him and my friends to clean the house so that when i get home its immaculate.

hmmm i should really just clean the house

I confess that:

- if someone put adoption papers in front of me in those first couple of weeks at home, I probably would have signed them.  (LOVE her totally always though!!!)

- that I really didn't cope that well for Brooke's first 6 weeks and DH had to put up with a lot of hormonal and sleep deprived crap.

- I thought I had ruined by life when ny fully planned baby turned up.  (You sorta loose your old identity a bit).

- That I am disappointed that baby's grandparents aren't as hands-on as I thought they were going to be.

- That I complain about not having enough time to do the housework whereas in reality I spend too long in front of my computer.

- That I get grumpy when B is refusing to breastfeed while simultaneously laughing at me!

- That I don't want to go back to work but I don't want to stay at home forever either, and that I dread putting Brooke into any kind of care, even if it's only part-time.

That's enough weight off the old shoulders for now, good thread!

Aww hugs melnel - I've not gone through a miscarriage myself but one of the girls in my coffee group confessed that when her baby was playing up she often thought I bet my other baby wouldnt have been this difficult and of course she'd feel horribly guilty but it gave me an insight to the jumble of feelings that can carry on even after you are holding your beautiful baby, so I guess I'm saying is you are not alone with those kind of feelings after losing a baby - maybe talking to someone 'professionally' might help you work it through xxx

Ladies, all these things you are feeling are perfectly normal, and although you think you may have done things when your babies were young when it came down to it I doubt you would have.

Threads like this are a great idea as they help get things out and they help us see that we are not alone in some of our thoughts...

Now I will take my counsellor hat off and confess...

I was supposed to be losing weight before we TTC but instead I was secretly eating everything I could

I considered falling pregnant "by accident" when DH was not keen on the idea

I want a girl because I know how much my SIL wanted a girl and never got one. (she hates me and I want to rub her face in this )

I feel having DH's child will make his family accept me more

I smoked pot towards the end of DS's pregnancy and I know he was haiving withdrawls in his first few weeks

I sit on the computer all day and say I was too tired to do housework when I know I could have got one or two things done.

Ahhh that feels better but its scary seeing it all down on paper so to speak lol.

Hehe, great thread - I can relate to so many of these!

Especially the root canal - I confess that I have a broken tooth that I am secretly hoping will fall out as I am too chicken to see a dentist.

And Melnel, I confess that I resented the gremlins for being twins, and wanted the single baby that we lost coz things would have been so different, even tho now I can't imagine not having them. Pregnancy loss bites, and even now 3 years and 3 babies later it still makes me sad sometimes.

I confess that two days this week my children didn't consume a single serving of vegetables unless you count McDonalds fries (except the baby who got veg from a tin)

I confess that some days by 6pm I am counting the minutes till my kids go to bed, and some days I can't wait to go to work.

I confess that I am secretly enjoying being a SAHM while the nanny is away (if only the laundry would do itself!)

I confess that I have no idea why Willie is still here - the poor guy must be a Saint to have put up with my hormonal moods and ranting and raving and total control freak side and the way I leave my dirty clothes on the bedroom floor....

This thread is great, I can see most of my confessions are pretty normal!

I also confess I spend waaaay too much on the computer when I should be getting other things done!

I confess I complain about my big squishy tummy, even though I don't make enough effort to exercise.

I confess I also complain about being tired all the time, but don't go to bed early because I'm on Ohbaby and using the 10pm dreamfeed as an excuse to stay up!

I confess that there are times when I wish my children had never learnt to talk

I confess that this being a SAHM business is harder than it looks, and I'm not really very good at it
