It can be anything from "I'm sorry I said that you you" to "your ass looks great in those pants!"
What do you need to hear today?
-
You can go home and play with your baby NOW. : )
-
"Your baby is growing right on track and he or she is healthy as can be". I'm still such a worry wart.
@MrsTiz: What would you like to hear??
-
"You can work from home today!"
-
@Ash: "I appreciate all that you do for me. Thank you."
-
A nice unprompted "I love you" from my husband.
-
That I'm not a bad mom for losing my temper with DD this weekend
-
"You'll have a safe delivery"
The closer I get the more freaked out I am
-
@BabyBoecksMom: you are definitely not a bad mom! It's natural to lose your temper sometimes!
-
@BabyBoecksMom: I feel like I know you well enough from here to know you are a wonderful mother. Being a parent is HARD, losing your patience doesn't make you a bad mom, it makes you human!
-
"Don't worry, you are not the only person not at the lake this weekend"
"It's ok, i have to work this week too"
-
You've unpacked enough this weekend, take the week off from doing house stuff!
-
@MrsTiz: I think being pregnant makes us want to hear that even more... because we're so tired and doing anything takes all of our energy.
@BabyBoecksMom: You are a great mom! Definitely not a bad mom for losing your temper. It's natural to lose your cool!!
-
@Lindsay05: I won't be at the lake!! You're not alone!
-
That my sweet happy baby will reappear soon, along with this troublesome third tooth
-
@scg00387: I promise you'll get your baby back. I went through those feelings for 6 months with DD, but she's back and even more fun than ever.
@Ash: @MamaMoose: @MrsTiz: Thank you. She hates diaper changes, especially right now that she has an awful diaper rash. I was in a hurry and trying to change her poopy diaper and she was screaming and kicking... getting poo everywhere. After trying to be nice and calm her down, I finally just yelled to try to get her to snap out of it so I could finish. It didn't work - she cried because I yelled and then only wanted DH (adding insult to injury). I know it happens, but it made me feel awful.
-
"Here's the additional compensation we discussed, and you can have the 2 Fridays off that you need."
or
"Surprise! I'm off tomorrow after all!"
-
"I'm feeling better and will stop being such an ass now" from DH who has been sick and miserable all weekend.
-
@Ash: thank you
Seems like everyone is enjoying the lake while I sit at home doing mom stuff while DH works.
-
@petunia354: guys are such babies when they're sick
-
"Even though you are overwhelmed and have no clue what you are doing, you are doing a good job at this mom thing."
-
@petunia354: (most) men are the worst patients! I hope he feels better and starts being nicer!
@scg00387:
Hope your LO feels better soon! Teething is so awful!I wish my husband would say, "I really appreciate everything you do."
-
@rahlyrah: Even though you are overwhelmed and feel like you have no clue what you are doing, you are doing a good job at this mom thing.
I can tell this just by your posts!
-
@BabyBoecksMom: i did the same the same last night when I was trying to get supper ready. LO was fussy because she was hungry and wouldnt eat her snacks. I raised my voice a few times which obviously doesnt help a hungry child settle down. It happens I suppose.
-
@Lindsay05: I have to work this week except for Thurs!
I'm hoping our agent will call and say 'i'so have the perfect house under budget!'
-
@petunia354: Man colds are the worst. My DH is so whiny when he's "sick" or maybe sick. I don't trust him and colds since his family uses illness for attention. He was taught that, so I try not to roll my eyes at it. I even gave him the sheet with the doctors and the number to call them. He said that he's never called for a doctor's appointment. I replied with "There's a first time for everything." Seriously!?!?
-
@rahlyrah: Ditto!
I would love to hear:
"Yes, she is sleep challenged (or just challenging in general, but she will get over it. You will figure it out. You are not an idiot" -
@78h2o: Hugs. It's been a tough lesson from counseling, etc., but DH is learning to appreciate my contributions to the house and family. Chorewars seems to help with us. He parrots back to me the thank yous I say to him for stepping up or helping out. I get excited when the recyclables and trash are taken out.
-
"you don't need to cook dinner tonight, let's go out for dinner!"
DH hates eating in restaurants. He likes to pick up stuff to go, but that defeats the purpose for me.
-
@babyjmama: Thanks! I hope you get that too!
-
@cascademom: "I even gave him the sheet with the doctors and the number to call them. He said that he's never called for a doctor's appointment. I replied with "There's a first time for everything." Seriously!?!?"
LOL!!!! I love this.
-
"You're hired!" This whole job search thing is getting old, and I'm getting sick of it! Someone hire me already!
-
That R is going to get back to sleeping better ASAP
-
@BKCaribBaby: I won't say she'll get over it, but you'll figure it out
I have a spirited child and it makes does wear on you. But, you'll have that moment when the light bulb goes off and it will just "click", and like magic, you'll get into the groove. I promise!
-
From Mr. T: "We should hire a housekeeper." or "Don't worry that the house isn't clean! I love that seriously lived-in look. Why don't you sit down and read a book."
From Ellie: "Mom, making my bed is so much fun!" "An 8pm bedtime sounds fabulous, thanks for asking."
From Lorelei: "Mama kiss. Mama cuddle."
I hope everyone else hears theirs today! -
"I'm sorry" and "I love you"
-
@BabyBoecksMom: for real.
You are totally not a bad mom!! Owen is only 6 months and is already SO frustrating during diaper changes so I can commiserate. And during his million night wake ups I have been known to say out of frustration "Go the f*** to sleep!!!".
You are not alone!!
-
@78h2o: You just made me cry! Thank you. I needed that
-
@petunia354: Thanks! I've gotten better with my quips to him this past year. Juggling a baby, house, and work is plenty. I don't need him acting helpless when he's an able bodied adult.
-
Everything is going to be okay.
It's just one of those that covers a lot of things in life and I know it to be true but it doesn't mean my need for it is any less. Sometimes I just need to be reminded that whatever the problem, whatever the outcome, this too shall pass and life will move on. That life is beautiful and I'm so grateful to be apart of it.
Does that sound ridiculous?
Seems like everyone is enjoying the lake while I sit at home doing mom stuff while DH works.
