Do they really think we don't know what's really going on? Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2143165 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:58:39 +0000 Modern Daisy 2143165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, DH is the WORST at this. He "has to use tge bathroom" pretty much all day on sat &amp; sun and intentionally hangs around at work late in order to miss dinner, bath &amp; bed. He times it so that he's walking through the door just as im finishing bedtime. I've called him out on it before and gotten him to admit doing it purposefully. </p> <p>On the flipside it would be impossible for me, even just for 5 minutes. The second he is alone with lo his clock starts ticking and he gets angrier by the second. He will come find me if i try to take any me time whatsoever. I can't complain because i leave very early for work everyday and DH has to watch lo for hours before daycare opens and he totally cleans the house and starts dinner, so ultimately i understand why he is like this when it's "my" turn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2143099 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:27:50 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2143099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um - told DH I needed to leave for our HB meetup an hour before I actually needed to so I could go browse Target alone. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2143098 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:27:44 +0000 snowjewelz 2143098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I just pass out w/ DD... Even though I know I should get up to pump, or clean, or do laundry, or the billion things that I don't have time otherwise to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2143088 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:24:25 +0000 CakeLady 2143088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You ladies are an inspiration!

Whenever he doesn't want to do something he "has to poop." Somehow he magically "has to poop" every night when I tell Sadie it's time for her bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2143077 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:16:58 +0000 photojane 2143077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Often! On DH's days off it takes me 3 years to shower and "get ready." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2143073 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:13:01 +0000 Alivoo01 2143073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!! That lil extra time man, it's awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2143017 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 07:47:15 +0000 artsyfartsy 2143017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@reyorra: I always lose :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142884 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 05:48:04 +0000 ValentineMommy 2142884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time.</p> <p>DH is way worse about it though. I know he's not pooping like 10 times a day for 20 minutes a piece, though he'd like me to think he is. I always send DS in after him hahahaa I'm mean :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142881 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 05:42:43 +0000 miramira 2142881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: yes! As often as possible... Guilt-free... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142839 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 23:52:38 +0000 Kimberlybee 2142839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Taco: The daycare that is our first choice allows for a 6:30pm pick up without paying additional fees. It's only a few min from the house so I think I will utilize that once in a while to get things done before picking DD up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142799 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 22:05:36 +0000 hummusgirl 2142799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha yes. I'm very newly pregnant and my nausea just kicked in this weekend and I am milking it. I mean it truly is miserable but I could definitely be way more helpful than I'm being, which is super helpless and lazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142796 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 21:50:10 +0000 littlejoy 2142796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL!!! I love this. Yes, we both take extra time in the bathroom ... I feel guilty about it sometimes, but on a day when I'm parenting alone, I sometimes have to pee with her on my lap, sooooo ... Mama gets a little extra time with her phone from time to time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142795 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 21:48:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 2142795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol.. both my husband and I do this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142756 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 21:11:51 +0000 MrsF 2142756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No shame! I let the baby nurse way longer than he needs to when DH is home and I just don't have the energy to help with big sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142745 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 21:00:45 +0000 Kbee 2142745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: @artsyfartsy: Yes, an extra long shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142734 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 20:45:59 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2142734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:silly: this is my m.o. most of the time.

I have to go out of town for the day for a work conference. My meeting will be over at 2:30 but I have no set return time and don't plan to make one. Although most of my "me" time is likely going to be sitting in traffic I am going to enjoy being all alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142727 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 20:34:41 +0000 reyorra 2142727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: I think we play chicken every night for the MOTN wake up.

I personally like the "ohhh I need to quickly pop out to get some milk", which often becomes an extended shopping trip followed by a quick bite/coffee/browse at clothes hee hee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142675 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 19:29:47 +0000 californiadreams 2142675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've lost count how many times I've done stuff like that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142671 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 19:25:32 +0000 mrskc 2142671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I do that too. I came home from grocery shopping yesterday and DD was hungry and needed a nap. I stayed in her nursery on my phone until DH put all the groceries away. I did all the shopping so seemed fair to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-6#post-2142664 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 19:12:02 +0000 Mrs. Taco 2142664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Bahaha I used to do that all the time when the ILs were in town!</p> <p>Today I was exhausted after a long day of standardized testing at work so instead of picking DD up from daycare right after work I came home and sat on the couch for 30 mins then got the house cleaned up without having to entertain her. It was a nice way to start a Monday! :silly: </p>
