really, TN?
i know a lot of you have baby rabies. totally normal. but a lot of people out in the world who are newlyweds do not have a strong desire to ger preggo right away and would like to stop being bombarded with pressure. i love coming on here and hearing about you girls being KU and seeing your excitement. what i hate? getting emails from TN with titles like this:
pregnant? new parent? trying to conceive?
and the body of the email says:
"Believe it or not, it's already been six months since we helped you plan your dream wedding!Did you know that our family of websites also includes two of the top pregnancy and parenting resources on the web? "
this is the email we (lia and i) drafted back and sent to them:
"believe it or not, after 6 months i am not READY to have kids...i want to live my life with my dogs, my booze, my sleep, my vacations, my drugs, sex, and rock and roll, and NOT worry about pregnancy and parenting until i am ready. stop spewing your f*&^ing propaganda at me"
Re: really, TN?
I really dislike when people I know ask me when I'm going to have kids...what if I can't, or don't want to? Mind your business.
TN: Life Path Propaganda at its finest.
hahaha
I got that email too.
It last 0.3 seconds in my inbox.
TTC since 2010

Suprise BFP Jan 15 2013. Hope this one sticks!
I do have babie Rabies and find them annoying.
Also is it bad that I also still want the above even with the rabies?
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
I jumped my SILs shiznits the other day about this, they live off the state so he can work parttime and her not at all so I threw in her face that I don't depend on other peoples finances to help me support my kids and right this second $$ it's not doable for us. Maybe it's just because her lazy arse drives me so nutso.
Ditto this. TN emails hit my junk box. I generally ignore them.
But since we're on the topic, I'm really freaking tired of the 'sexathon' ad at the side of my screen. Seriously, as if it's not bad enough my boss catches me on the message board, and then to see that in big bold letters. Happy I already had my performance review and the bonus check is in the mail. TN gets a big fat FAIL for that ad.
At least you guys opened it - as soon as I see that sh!t from TN - DELETE.

I hate that!!
This. I don't even bother opening it. I also hate being asked when we're going to have a baby and I want babies but it's none of your business. Trust me, I'll tell you when I'm good and ready. The End.
Ditto the others - I hate the e-mails even though I would like a baby, and the sexathon ad CREEPS ME OUT. Especially since we booked a vacation there before the ad appeared, and now I link St.Lucia with 'sexathon' in my head, which sort of creeps me out a little. Like we're going to a swinger's resort where everyone is going to be banging each other in the jacuzzi, and there will be a scheduled orgy on Wednesday evening.
Also, I'm mad at TN because I wrote a really long reply to the sex offender post last night and it took me forever to word it just right, and it apparently never showed up even though it seemed like it posted correctly. Additionally, a lot of threads appear to have no new posts (i.e. the title isn't bold) but there are, and the only way I would know is if I remember who the last poster was. Stupid.
Blog
Well now I'm even more pissed, knowing that I've been missing out on Shauni's thoughts!
I am so there. My SIL has three kids and lives off of the state, making absolutely no attempt in 10 years to get a job.
