I am trying to open up to the idea of this trip and fucking compromise because someone has to,

Why does it have to be you? Why can't he compromise for once?

@lauren620 I would be pissed too! That is so not cool.

Especially since, at the beginning of your post he says that you give in too easily... then at the end of your post, you have to "give in" for this vacation weekend. Not cool!!! Tell him to go by himself! Then you plan yourself a weekend away by yourself to a spa!

This. I was thinking the same thing!

You are right. But like I said earlier, I just don't think we're on the same page right now and communication has not been the best for us. I am chalking some of this ordeal up to that.

@RevJen I guess I just don't like arguing and it's easier for me to just give in. Sounds pretty pathetic. Oh well.

I just want him to do what I want to do with no questions asked. That isn't so unreasonable, is it?

MH and I are just not on the same page lately. He told me last night that I give up too easily. I told him I am too exhausted from fighting people all day at work to come home and fight or have to constantly "justify" my opinion at home. I don't understand why I can't just say, "I don't like the furniture this way" and be done with it. I have to justify what position I want the couch to be in? FFS just move it back where we had it and stop arguing with me.

I also wanted to go somewhere this year for my birthday. MH said that was fine and that we could start planning. Well, I start planning then some of his friends send an email out wanting us (and other people that I'm not really a fan of) to take a trip with them in the fall. So of course he tells them that we will go. When I'm finally able to talk to him about it, he basically says he would rather go with this group than somewhere over my birthday with just me. 1. that really hurt my feelings 2. this will be the only big trip I will get this year if we go 3. I told him that I'm always the one that makes birthdays special for our family and no one ever does that for me, so I want my birthday to be special. He still wants to go with the group.

I am trying to open up to the idea of this trip and fucking compromise because someone has to, and we have traveled with these people before and that was ok, so I started getting some ideas together. I tell him some of my suggestions. He doesn't warm up to any of them, but when he gets a text from his friend saying the EXACT SAME PLACE I mentioned he is all, yeah that would be great. I want to punch him in the face.

I'm so sorry @lauren620. I think you should come to Miami instead to celebrate

Um, when it comes to your birthday - NOPE, it's not unreasonable at all. He is being a jackass and in this instance, he totally should do what you want no questions asked.

No. And I'm the same way as you. I've actually stopped arguing with people and told them I'm not fighting anymore. Whatever they want is fine with me. For some reason, it seems to piss people off even more.

RevJen · January 2014

I am about to knock on the upstairs neighbor's door and throat punch the person who answers for not making the little kid quit stomping on the fucking floor.

I just realized for the first time yesterday that this could happen:
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/canada-mom-gives-birth-to-twins-born-in-different-years/

It blew my mind completely.
I also read that it is medically possible to have "twins" by two different fathers.

Would they be Irish twins?

Young_Love · January 2014

The thought of going back to work on Monday after 3 weeks off is literally making me want to cry. I can't even handle it.

Lauren620 · January 2014

@Hoycie I should come back to Miami!! Maybe I will be able to sometime this year

EliStar · January 2014

Fuck. I have to tell my boss something that is GREAT for me, and GREAT for them (I'm switching insurance companies and they won't have to pay for my health benefits anymore) but I'm scared that he's going to catch on that I'm preparing my exit strategy.

I need to grow some balls.

@EliStar Do they know your H well? Can you just chalk it up to "H's plan makes more sense for us as a family"?

ETA: are you exiting to be a SAHM or for another job?

I woke up today and thought it was Monday. Having the holidays in the middle of the week screwed me up.

Same thing happened to me last week. Working half a day on Tuesday and going to see my family for a party, staying up late and then having Wednesday off made me think Thursday was Monday and Friday was Tuesday.

They do know my H well and that's exactly what I'm going to say, but there's no way that they're not going to be suspicious.

I'm leaving to a.) be a SAHM for now while I study for the LSAT since my previous score expired; and then b.) applying for law school. I

Jack asked for grilled cheese and grapes for lunch. I was reaching for a cupcake (we made vanilla sprinkle this morning. I make cupcakes once a week lol. I will never lose this stomach. I'm okay with that) and he goes " mommy you can't have that without eating your grapes first!"

Caught by a 4 year old. I ate some grapes then hid in the laundry room and had a cupcake.

lizabethann06 · January 2014

@EliStar I am so happy for you and excited for stories of staying at home with baby bear

MrsJenE · January 2014

My confession:

I swear I'm not trying to be mean about this. It's just the honest truth.

I've had to stop opening posts from someone on here because I can't have coworkers walking by and seeing the gif in her siggy.

If you're under a time constraint, have low funds, no creativity, live far from a post office, or just in general suck at giving people gifts, YOU SHOULD NOT JOIN IN ON A GIFT EXCHANGE.

I haven't been around much lately (I should probably reintroduce myself) but it's not Pennywise right? I'll take it off if it is. Though I can't think it is him.

It would be, if Pennywise were gyrating his hips at us. Except that that would be awesome.

This should be broadcast as a PSA at the beginning of every holiday season.

I go through that fight every year with my husband....I've cried within the first few hours of my bd many times bc of how little he does for it (heck just even remember to say Happy Birthday...that's all I wanted!)
