Too early for a flameful?

I "broke up" with my SIL and step-brother (and by default, my other SB) last night through emails.  We've been family since I was 5 and they were 15/16.  They have issues with how close I am with my mom, and that my parents see my son and my family more.  Umm, maybe because you're asshats and not pleasant people to be around.  And you make it clear all the time she isn't your mom, so why wouldn't she be closer withe me and my child.  You are 40 and 41 and you're jealous over a 9 month old?  WTF?  I am so done with them all, and I think I made that quite clear.  My mom is done too.  I feel bad for my dad (SD) that he helped raise such douches and struggles to maintain a relationships with the ungrateful shits, and now he'll be in the middle..

My kid is still in her pj's and has been watching cartoons for 2 hours.

The only reason I'm going to shower during her nap is because we *might* go to an FRG meeting tonight.

I'm still bitter over all those assh*les I dated in college and in my 20s who were terrible boyfriends, and I told them how NOT to be terrible boyfriends and turned them into excellent boyfriends for other people.

lol.

 

When my ex got engaged, I told my sister his fiance should have to write me a thank you note since what redeeming qualities as a life partner he had he possessed becauase I beat them into him.

I'm still waiting for my note :-)

My ex actually did thank me for making him a better boyfriend. Yup.

If someone says something to you and you have to call your dad to make sure it was actually offensive - I'm of the opinion that you have bypassed your opportunity to get butthurt about it at this time.

Hopefully you get another chance to properly put someone in their place.

I don't understand people who push their toddlers into things.  For ex. we have a friend who declared 6 months ago that they were done buying diapers since their 10 month old and 2 year old were using the potty.

6 months later, they are of course still buying diapers. Which is *perfectly normal* and completely acceptable.

Then they put their 14 month old in a bed instead of a crib and are touting how amazing it is. 

I will happily keep my 14 month old in a crib until he starts climbing out of it - he's dangerous enough wandering around when I am AWAKE, let alone when I am sleeping.

I just don't understand the need to push kids into things they are likely not developmentally ready for (like potty training at 10 months). They're only little once, just let them be.

This is not flameful here. 

Now, go post this on the bump, and wait for the "Dont' judge me!  My little Keighlyn and Jahxyn are *really* advanced, so they were TOTALLY ready to potty train at 14 months.  They only have 6-7 accidents a day, but I know they get it.  They're just strong willed."

Like the one on 12-24 today looking for underwear for her 18 month old? Yeah.

I posted a request for a buttered-noodles recipe on WC and asked for no blog links.  Bets on whether or not anyone will actually answer me if I don't contribute to their daily click count?

I don't get pushing kids either, the only time I understand the crib thing is when there is another kid on the way and they don't want to buy another one.

Jackson is going to be in the crib FOREVER.  He is so short the chances of him climbing out anytime soon are not very high. 

Also, I feel bad occasionally for naming him Jackson.

I bet Stellas could help shed some light on this for both of us.

Forget WC, I got you covered.

Boil a 16 oz package of egg noodles in salted water until done. Drain water. Add 6 tables spoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.

You can adjust the parsley to your own preference.

I am waay waaay to lazy to push my kid early into developmental milestones. PT in two days at 3 years old. AWESOME

Transition without a fuss to big bed at 3 years old-AWESOME

etc etc etc

Seriously life is so much easier when you just go with the flow and not try to start things early.

I have a friend who just emailed me that she thinks her 16 mo old is ready for PT. This is her second child. If that were me I would be yelling "NOOOOOOOOOOOO just let me change your diaper." LOL I am terrible because I would not be encouraging it until a later age when they can handle going to the bathroom from start to finish. So much work.

LOL! This is me too.

Maybe we're just lazy? But I tell you - potty training was NO work. At all. Nor was moving into her big kid bed.

My sister tried on a $3,000 wedding dress and it's PERFECT.  I flamefully admit that I've been blinded by awesomeness and somehow 3K seems like the perfect price to pay for a dress.  (Previously I would have said stay under 1K.)

What have I become?  Someone slap some cheapness back into me quick before it runs over into my own life and I start buying 2K handbags!

(omg it was a beautiful dress though.....)

don't let her do this. after the wedding she will feel so dumb and pissed at herself. and she will still hate herself for it 3 years later.

A Tiffany & Co. catalog came today.  So wish I could buy myself something.
