Confession Thursday!

sarlah · July 2010

Ashley's recipe in the crock pot recipe post got me thinking...

In the 6 months we've been married & almost year we've lived together, I've never cooked a whole chicken. & actually, I've just never cooked a whole chicken - even when I lived on my own or with my parents.

Ok, so not the dirtiest of all confessions, but I thought it was weird. I haven't done that for Ted though because he doesn't like chicken on the bone. I don't care! Ashley your recipe sounds so good I'm making it soon! He can deal. LOL.

Just take it off the bone for him. That's what I have to do with DH.

smilz4milz · July 2010

My H doesn't eat food that's on the bone either...well...he will eat fried chicken...legs only.

My confession:

I would rather sit here at work all night because H & I just cannot seem to get along at all anymore. It's like walking on eggshells in our home. And it sucks.

Jeez Jenni that really sucks! Are one or both of you very stressed out about something? I know when either Ted or I am really stressed out about work or something then it can be hard to get along if we don't talk about it. I'm the queen of holding things in, so there have definitely been some tense evenings in our house until he finally gets fed up with me and makes me talk to him.

interesting that so many of your DHs can't eat meat on a bone!

I think (ok, I know) I want to have a baby. ? My head knows all the reasons why this cannot happen right now-- all the weddings we're in (3 in the next 6 months!), the vacations we've planned (including climbing Mt Kilimanjaro and safari in March), selling our apartment and buying another one (we put in an offer on one today...), it's not our "plan," etc. But my uterus will not STFU. I hate that biatch.

haha - I can relate. I've mentioned it on here before. I always thought I'd be ok waiting until later in 2011 to TTC because then we can get another good vacation in and have more money saved blah blah blah. But lately I just don't care about those things as much anymore which leads me to believe maybe I am ready. trip to Japan or baby - baby please!!! But, just because I'm ready early doesn't mean that DH is...

You first. Deal? My uterus must be out of commission until post-Africa. Must. Mr. Choo would not find climbing Kili solo very funny-- especially since it was my crazy idea.. I think I need a booster on my baby rabies vaccine...

In honor of Mr. Choo climbing solo you could name your baby Kilimanjaro. Thoughts?

We'll form an empty uterus alliance. We can even have personal mantras like in AA. Say it with me- ::I will not be impregnated until 2011. I will not be impregnated until 2011. I will continue consuming copious amounts of alcohol. I will force my H to sleep on the couch::

Perfect. Little Kili. I mean, I with a mum like me I expected major child therapy bills, but maybe little Kili will far exceedy craziness and live up to his/her name. Maybe s/he'll even get her own show on Showtime about her... umm... bloody persuits. And posts like these are why you gals should be begging me to remain spawn free FYI.

Bwahahaha

My confession is that I found I have zero patience. This house thing is consuming me and I just can't wait to hear back from them. Tell me no, that's fine, I just want them to tell me something.

Oh and confession number 2 is that I can't tell DH confession number 1. He's under the impression that just because you're anxious means you're also getting your hopes up. And he can definitely sound condescending when telling me not to get my hopes up. I finally snapped this week and said I'm an adult and I can get my hopes up if I damn well please. Plus I've told him time and time again that just because I want an answer doesn't mean I need that answer to be yes.

Oh, that really stinks! I'm sorry you guys are going through a rough patch. Is there a specific cause, and has this been going on for awhile? Not trying to be too nosy, just wish I could help. Like PP said, when H & I aren't getting along it's usually because one of us is depressed about other things and not really anything to do with the relationship (though it's hard to tell that at the time). Warning: Unsolicited advice ahead. Sometimes doing something out of the ordinary nice for the other person without expecting anything in return (even outward appreciation) can help the situation - you'll feel more loving toward him and he will feel loved/appreciated. I don't know your situation though, so not sure if that would help or not. *hugs*

Lol, you ladies are cracking me up!

I, too, am fighting baby urges. But grad school is hard enough to finish without a baby! Can you hook me up with some of that baby rabies vaccine??

niuchick21 · July 2010

I too have BOTB. Today I texted DH and said: I want a baby.

He said: lemme see

LMAO!

I know it's not the right time, and we won't be getting KTFU until 2011 either, but still. It also doesnt help that my BFF sent me the link to the cutest Burberry diaper bag ever.

Oh confession #2 if I had an extra $995 in my bank account, I'd have a Burberry bag on the way (not the diaper bag though lol)

Bigwuhead · July 2010

I've been fighting baby urges, but um..i want to be at my job atleast a 1 year...and do WAY more work on our house... so instead..i adopted a kitten...and now we are getting another one...next stop...animal horder.

If DH does not get an offer to transfer to Denver I will join in...but if he does then I might have to convince him that now is the time to TTC so that I don't have to take 2 big hits to my career in a row - rather just take them both at the same time!

Yeah...we're stressed about money (or lack there of). And I was also told that our sex life sucks (or lack there of "sucking") too. (HA! I crack me up). So one big thing that I thought was great, apparently is not. H is also learning what life is like when actually paying bills. After we got home from DW (literally the week afterwards) collectors started calling about his old, old debt (some back as far as 1992!). H hates his job and complains every.single.night...and blah blah blah.

H is not a talker and when told that I'd like to talk, he gets very confrontational and I really don't get a word in. Next thing I know I'm literally screaming to be heard. So I just don't talk anymore...it's easier.

On a happier note...things were better this morning. We're also good at just acting like we didn't have a big fight. So we'll see what this weekend brings.

Again, that just really sucks Jenni! Maybe you should (nicely) try to explain to your H that communication in a marriage is SO important and things can't stay the way they are forever, it just won't work for you. Maybe that will make him wake up and at least meet you part way. I know how hard it can be because I hate talking when I'm mad/upset/stressed - specifically if those feelings are directed at Ted & he is trying to talk about them. Eventually I realized how crucial good communication is and decided to change. It's still not easy but I do make an effort.
