I confess I didn't try very hard to lose weight, and now I regret it because I look at my stomach and see fat instead of baby bump. And I know it's totally self inflicted.
I confess I don't do enough work, meaning I'm not graduating when I should. This is bad because it puts all the financial burden on DH, and means he can't do what he wants to do with his life. Because I'm being a slack arse.
I confess it's nearly lunch time and I've done less than an hours work today. I need to get off the net!

I confess that even though I complain all the time about being fat I really haven't been trying that hard to do anything about it.
I confess that I still feel guilty about Gabrielle being prem, and wonder if there was anything I did to make her come early.
I confess that although I love my little girl there are some days I am glad I work as many hours as I do.
I confess that in the early weeks when Gabrielle was screaming for hours on end coz of reflux I sometimes screamed back because I was so tired I couldn't handle it.
I confess that in the early weeks I left my DH for a week and thought about never going back.
I confess that I feel like I don't spend enough time with Gabrielle and I wonder how going to daycare so young with affect her later on. I feel guilty about her being in daycare.
I confess that I am disappointed by my DH and his lack of interest in doing things as a family.
I could go on and on  It sure feels better to get some of this stuff off my chest.

I confess that, even thought I (finally) love my darling son, at times I can't help but feel resentment towards him for all his medical problems that cause such tension and stress in my home and marriage.....

I too confess that I complain about being fat but can't be bothered to do anything about it. In fact when I go out for walks I often buy a choccie bar and have been eating dessert almost every night .... come to think of it I usually have something naughty for afternoon tea as well! Plus I can't stop gorging on things I couldn't eat while preggy.
I confess that my friends have some baby books that they love but I hate them because when I read them I feel like I'm getting lectured to by a bossy head prefect.
On days where bub has hormone spots and rashes on his face I wish they would go away because he looks cuter without them.
I haven't cleaned the bathroom properly in 3 months.
I buy clothes for bubba that are unnecessary but they are just so darn cute! I also spend way too much on little extras and I really shouldn't coz I'm not working outside the home anymore.
I also don't want to go back to work ever! (will buy lotto ticket this week)

This is a great thread!
I confess that.....
- I am freaking out about this baby, even though it was planned and we are really looking forward to being parents. It just seems scary once it is actually happening.
- I feel like people think I am too young, even though I will be 28, married, and been with my hubby for 10 years when baby is born.
- I am already starting to worry about finances when I am off work, and dont want to go back to work when baby is born even though I will have to.
Aaaahhh, that feels so much better

I confess that often DP really annoys me.
I confess that I don't remember the last time I kissed him.
I confess that even though we have only had 'special cuddles' 3 times since DS was born I really don't care. And at the moment I don't care if it never happens.
I confess that even though I wish DP would help out more with DS when he does I have to stop myself from taking over.
I confess that even though I get angry I am also glad when he is out all night because then I get the bed to myself.
I confess that I often think that DP doesn't care about my feelings when he does the things he does.
And I confess that I think that if we didn't have the business (his dream) then we would have more money.
I confess that I often wish that DP would get up to DS during the night even though I know that it is easier for me to do it. (DP doesn't even hear him wake up anyway).
Oh and I look forward to my mum visiting because I know that she will look after DS a lot.
And finally I wish that DP would take better care of himself and stop smoking and drinking so much.
And finally, I confess that in the early stages of being pregnant I would often wish that I would have a miscarriage so that I would stop feeling so sick.

I confess that for the first year I merely went 'through the motions' for B, I was nowhere near ready to be a mum, and even now I look at hime sometimes on days when he is being a little shyte and think 'my life would be so much easier if I had LET your dad/grandparents keep you' even though I fought tooth and nail to keep him with me when my marriage fell apart
I confess that every day so far I have compared my feelings for Jaelyn and Brandon and I feel like I love Jae more
I confess that I spend way more time online than I should, and spend the last 1/2 hour to an hour rushing around doing as much as I can before DP or his dad gets home, and using Jae as an excuse if I forgot to do something or ran out f time to do it!
I confess that I have a stahs of chocolate blocks in the back of the 'school lunch stuff' cupboard for days where I need something and need it NOW
I confess that sometimes I resent DP for racking up such a big debt before he met me, and that it means I HAVE to go back to work before Jae's 1st birthday, I dont want to go back until shes at least 2
And Casper, I havent had 'special cuddles' with DP since I was 29 weeks preg (had an early labour fright within hours of the last time we got any) and I dont miss it one bit! DP is starting to drop massive 'hints' that he thinks its high time he got some but I keep making excuses as to why we cant just yet...
I confess that I am sitting here typing this up while DP cooks dinner and sorts my son out to get ready... I should prob go and help somehow

Wow great thread my turn:
- scared to move back in with DH although I want to so bad
- I wonder what it would be like without Arianne
- I am terrified of studying thinking I will fail
- Did think about "accidently" falling pregnant after Arianne
- I made the biggest mistake quiting my job
Thats all I think of at the moment I am sure more will come to mind soon.

I confess:
I really want baby number 2 and so does DH, but I'm thinking
- I'm too fat to be pregnant again
- Can we afford another child?
- Can I cope with another child?

Well I was busy reading this thread entirely, a bit confused because there's the confessions thread in the General section..
And now realised when Bizzy said it - that it is a year old!
I was just about to do my confessions too... ahh well.

Ok, what the heck.
In line with the other confessions:
- I confess that I was rather shocked at how difficult that newborn stage was and there was quite a bit of crying and screaming done by everybody in the house while we adjusting to the hideous feeding issues and sleep deprivation
- I confess that I could do my housework much quicker and more efficiently but that would mean not much time for "me" and so I'm a bit slack with it
- I confess that when my housework is pretty much all done I then don't know what to do with myself, so in a way it's good to have it undone because then I know there's always something to do IYKWIM?
- I confess that I know I'm overweight but I have made no effort to lose my baby weight at all and just eat what I want! I have told DH I am starting a diet when DS is 8mo because then he won't need my breastmilk so much but I really don't want to start a diet at all and don't care enough yet about how I look. But I know that I should care and should make more of an effort.
- I confess that DH and I started talking about trying for another baby but I got super anxious about it and decided it was way too soon and he agreed.

Interesting looking at this now, a year later. Particularly this bit:
Shelt wrote:
I confess that in the early weeks I left my DH for a week and thought about never going back.
I confess that I am disappointed by my DH and his lack of interest in doing things as a family.
|
Esp since DH and I split up barely 4 months after I wrote this last year.
ETA to fix up the quote
