Re: Randoms.
tis the truth. and my H almost died, because he was hoping he had at least another 10 years before boys touching his daughter's bum.
we had a nice conversation about private parts, and that nobody is allowed to touch anybody else, just your own, and only when alone. (I guess in a few years she'll tell me I am a liar, but whatever). I mean, she knew all that, but who knows wtf goes through their minds?
You are handling this with such aplomb, Papie. I might be flipping my shiiit, lol.
PRIVATES!!!
Honestly, I am pretty sure there is nothing going on. The mother is also a teacher at the daycare and she seemed mortified. I think he is just very curious. Both the teacher and the manager reassured me that it is a normal curiosity at that age, and that we just need to teach them boundaries.
I had a cousin like that, and he is now a very normal 22 year old. I think he was just watching too much TV, lol
DUDE.
I'm ----> <---- this close to being done for the semester. I'm waiting for my professor to email me back because I'm having trouble with my regression results for one of my hypotheses.
BRING ON THE ALCOHOL.
Papie, I can't even take it omg. I have no idea how to handle this shiit.
Jermys, I loved wearing G. And the carseat thing, don't sweat it. The awesome part of being a new Mom is that anyone else who's been a new Mom will absolve you of pretty much anything.
Scotty, oh good I thought that was odd!
Do you clean? Because we all suck at it. But if you clean, I'll give you the entire basement as your very own.
You may have talked about this before, I'm not sure, but does whatever school you would go to have childcare? I know that the technical college I go to and another one in the area, have child care for students kids, while they are in class. If the school you would go to has it, then maybe you could take a class or 2 before all your kids are in school. Give yourself a head start on getting the degree you want.
it's the hormones in the non organic, non montessori raised chickcows you're feeding her!!
for shame
That's a good idea.
I may not be able to wait.
I was actually just thinking about leaving H and spending the summer with my kids up at my parents' other house for the summer. There are tens of thousands in the checking account--I don't know the exact amount it varies wildly. But I could empty it out and once D is finished for the year with school, adios.
But that would be crazy and wrong, right?
AppleBear,
I know you said you tell DH you're frustrated, but does he know HOW frustrated you are?
Has he seen you get really p!ssed? Have you given him an ultimatum, in terms of being inconsiderate and flighty?
Maybe you have, and I just don't know. Sometimes men are thickheaded and you have to spell things our for them.
It's awesome that you're looking into going back to school.
My random: A teacher had my school had a baby, and today we are eating the customary, traditional meal prepared to share as a celebration. It's whole eggs, ginger and beef slow cooked in vinegar.
I think this would be fine.
He knows. I've told him.
He just doesn't care.
hahah!

BFP! 7dpt5dt Beta #1: 87 Beta #2: 242 Beta #3: 594 Beta #4:1200!
I will hire a babysitter.
I am thinking of doing a dental assistant program because I can be out in 9 months! Then go back to become a hygienist and make the big bucks.
I can manage. I just don't think things are going to turn around. DH will briefly be better only to sink back to his old ways. I can not deal. I need support and love and kindness and I need someone who wants to be a part of this household.
I don't think that's crazy.
I'll try to give you some inspiration. My mom was a single mom. She raised all three of us completely by herself. My dad was never around and then eventually just left. She decided that she wanted to try to better herself to make a better life for all of us. So, she worked full time--most of the time 1 full time job and at least 1 part time job. She also went back to school part time. She went to school for 6 years and graduated from her program. We had a little celebration for her and made a big deal out of it because it was a huge accomplishment. I have no idea how she did it. I am working full time and going to school part time with no kids and I feel so overwhelmed sometimes, I just admire her so much for what she did. My point is, from what I have read of your posts, you remind me of my mom a bit, she would do anything for us, just like you would do anything for your kids. I know that if my mom could do it, you can do it. It will be hard, but you will figure it out.
I agree wholeheartedly with the bolded. If you're not getting the support you need, you'd be better off on your own.
And hygienists make a shitton of money! My girlfriend is one and she only has to work three days a week.
And you deserve this. You will figure out the right thing to do. Maybe a summer away would be a good thing?

I'm really proud to hear you say this. You can do it if you want to.
If we lived closer, I'd take you out and watch your kids when I could.
Like a hawk. I wonder if I can just go in and empty an account in one fell swoop.
Does he ask for receipts for grocery stores and what not?
Ohhhh this is all very sleeping w the enemy, yes?
Grt 40 back cash each trip?
Exactly.
No, but he asks how much it was each time.
So cash on hand. Got it.
Can accounts be frozen?
Fukyeah! This is going to be so easy. You have 3 months?
I think I have into the beginning of June. D's going to do the extended program. I think it goes into the first week of June. But really I can leave whenever. Build up a stash or whatever.
