QOTD - Thursday 2/10

I didn't even know what day of the week it is and I woke up at eleven.  Sorry for the delay.  Maybe I should set an alarm anyway so I don't feel like such a lazy assshole (as I sit here in a double XL Miller Lite superbowl tshirt and sweatpants).

Anyway... stolen from another board because I'm unoriginal like that.

What would people secretly judge you for?  Parenting skills?  Spending?  Anything about your marriage?

Re: QOTD - Thursday 2/10

  • I don't think anyone other than H knows about my spending, so hopefully no judgements there. I think people that knew me before I met Jason judged me b/c I pretty much changed who I am. I don't really care though, I love who I am.

    All of the above.  And I'm not prepared to put it all out there so you can all secretly judge me!

    I will say that it's relatively easy for me to ignore DS at night and let him try to CIO and go back to sleep on his own.

  • I think people judge how much TV I watch.

    I think people (other than you guys) judge how much time I spend on the nest/internet.  H does.  Not secretly. 

    People probably judge how often I drink wine after wor-... at night.  :)

  • The fact that I accidently got pregnant. But we weren't using protection and realized it could happen, it was a chance we were willing to take... it wasn't ignorance or anything.

    Also the fact that I'm anti-social and would rather sit at home with my dogs then go out. And I don't drink really, at all. Maybe once every few months and only socially because I feel pressure. We probably have 20+ bottles of wine at our house b/c people give it to us, but I don't drink.

  • I think some people might secretly judge me when they find out that I am still nursing Mungee.  I just don't know how to wean her and it's the only way to get her to take naps and go back to sleep at night!

  • oooohhhh...perception-wise, not 'they would judge this if they only knew'...got it.

    In that case, I think I get judged for the following -

    - how much I spend when shopping

    - how I tease DH about his immature/jokey ways

    - my pickiness in eating food

    - my OCD quirks like no shoes/feet on my couches

    - how much I enjoy outings without DH and DS

    I'm pretty sure I don't judge you for a single one of these things :)

    I judge 3 and 4.  :)  None of the others.

  • - the amount of animals we have in our house (3 dogs, 1 cat) and the fact that they all sleep with us.

    - the amount of money we spent eating/going out (before I was pregnant)

    This one for us too.

    I know you said that you're anti social, but if we have a GTG and I convince you to become my BFF ( I can make friends with anyone) I can totally help you out with this wine problem...sounds like LB can too. Wink

  • Hmm...the first things that come to mind are:

    1. My terrible eating habits

    2. My anal/ocd behavior

    3. How loud I am

    4. How much tv I watch

    I think people (other than you guys) judge how much time I spend on the nest/internet.  H does.  Not secretly

    DH judges me on how much time I spend on the nest and how I talk about you ladies even though I have never met you guys!

    I am sure people would judge DH and I if they knew how much we drank prior to me getting PG.

    I think a lot of people would judge DH if he did what he really wanted to do for a living. Heck, I judge him at times about it and give him the side-eye.

    Every time there is a GTG, I'm always about to say "I'll bring the wine!" but then other people say they will. Plus, I like cooking so I'd rather bring food.

    Also, I don't know the etiquette on re gifting wine, so I always buy a new bottle when we go somewhere where I feel I should bring wine.  

    But next GTG, I will bring an assortment and everyone will get a "goody-bag."

    I think wine is absolutely ok to regift (as long as it's not open of course!) I regift wine if I get one I don't like.

  • I'm sure people judge me for my view on pit bulls and dogs in general. Also for marrying my high school sweetheart.

  • imagebrittjoy84:

    Also for marrying my high school sweetheart.

    Oh yeah, that reminded me!  Beebee bride here and I'm positive people judge me for that.

    Edited for clarity.

  • I know some people judge some of the things DH and I joke about.

    MIL judges me for my "style".

    The amount of time I spend on the internet.

    The amount of money I spend on purses, now include diaper bags.

    Dating and then marrying an older guy.

    Getting married so young.

    Having a child at a young age.

    Our neighbors judge us for having a large dog that is "stuck inside" all of the time. I like to think he loves his life, kthnx.

  • - How much I eat... I can eat a ton of food in one sitting and sometimes people are really surprised by that.  Whenever we go out to dinner with friends or have get togethers with family, I always feel like I have to justify how much I eat (I just like food, damn it! lol). 

    - I don't really like to drink.  Just a little bit of wine every so often (i.e., on holidays).   

    - I don't like to exercise, and I spend quite a bit of time on the internet after work and on weekends (but when I'm on, I'm usually reading news articles and stuff like that).  

    - I'm sure some people I know judge me because of my liberal convictions.

  • I think I get judged for:

    -getting married youngish (a week before my 23rd b-day)

    -marrying someone in the military 

    -having a bunch of $ in student loans from getting my Bachelor's and only having a crap job at this point

    -wanting to wait until I'm closer to 30 to have kids

    -having some liberal views (especially by our parents)

    -also, today I got told by a coworker that I am aborting babies by taking birth control

  • imagepennylane786:

    WTF?! Isn't the reason for taking bc so you don't abort babies? Gah, some people!
