B&M Monday

juliebug1997 · October 2011

Ladies,

Thank you so much for your kind words (I also got a very nice note from a former colleague about my ILs). I appreciate it and, thankfully, they don't like coming to Texas and we can't make it to Louisiana very much because we don't have a lot of time off. I think one of the things that upsets me so much about their behavior recently is that they don't realize that some of their comments and actions hurt Bill. Like not wanting to come a couple of weeks ago since they wouldn't get to see BIL but for an hour or so. Or taking time away from him to talk to SIL. I told him we can still go down there at Christmas time but I have serious reservations about spending money on air tickets, a hotel and a rental car to be treated like that.

Ben Does Life girls - he just posted the recap of his Victoria marathon and the picture at the end of the post of he and Brooke is priceless. It makes me happy to see him so happy in love with her!

That picture does make me happy, I cant wait to read the recap tonight.

T&Ps please. I just got off the phone with my baby sister... she and her boyfriend broke up. I say "baby"... she's 23, and they've been together 2 years. It wasn't necessarily sudden, but she thought they were working on stuff, and he decided it wasn't worth it. She's in Malibu and none of her close friends or family live anywhere near her right now, and she's having a really hard time. I certainly remember what that's like, and I'm sure a few of you do, too... I'd just appreciate any good vibes you can send Sam's way while she's trying to figure out where her life goes now.

T&Ps Chelsea. My baby sister just went through something similar.

I just asked some of the girls on Getting Pregnant a huge favor for school and I am hoping someone wants to help me! Fingers crossed.

Tiffany618 · October 2011

T&P to your sister, Chelsea! That sucks.

Sad! I do remember those days. I hope she finds her footing soon and some comfort in her family.

So uh, in reading about NFP on online message boards.... ALL of the people using it have like 3+ kids in their siggy pics.

This is not confidence inspiring. At all.

angieandjames · October 2011

Well, were they trying for those 3 kids? NFP is the term used for both TTA & TTC. Also, you have to think about how careful they were in applying the "rules" - it's kind of like saying, "we use condoms" but then only using them some of the time, or not using them correctly, and then getting knocked up, and blaming the condom. If it breaks, yes, it's the condom's fault - but if you just open it and lay it on the bedside table, then it's your fault

Thanks girls. I'm really struggling with anger right now. We liked this guy a lot... I mean, he's done Christmas with our family. We all, including HE, thought he was the one. I know she's an adult and she can handle her own business, but as her big sister, I want to fly out there RIGHT now and punch him in the throat.

They may have been/probably were trying. I dunno. It just doesn't help my already freaked out attitude toward this.

As a big sister, I support this plan.

angieandjames · October 2011

Even if a good throat punch doesn't solve the problem, it will probably make you feel better about it, and your sister will definitely feel better afterwards. Do it! hahah

Chelsea, I'm also a big sister so I totally know what you mean. And may I offer up this quote from What Happens in Vegas: "You know what? I can get a couple of my brother's loser ass friends to go over to Mason's apartment, knock on the door and when he opens it wham! They'll junk-punch him all up in his man business and he'll fall to the floor wailing and crying 'why?' and then we'll say 'you know why!'"

mseale · October 2011

Chelsea - T&P's. I hope this isn't to rough on her, and that she gets some time with friends and family to help her through this.

Tiffany - If it makes you feel any better, we've been doing NFP for over a year and have 0 kids.

Rangers - what just happened? you were up by two and let them score 3 runs in the 3rd?!? Come on sluggers, lets get hot!

Perfect. I just texted this to my sister, and we both got a good laugh. Junk punch FTW!

I am amazed by the number of people who use this method - and to think, a year ago, I had never even heard of it. It's fascinating to me.

I love this! I use the "you know why!" all of the time! Good quote, Anna.

bobbileighb · October 2011

Chelsea, I am so sorry your sister is going through that and I will send as many positive vibes her way as I can.

bobbileighb · October 2011

Tiffany, I have read the book and want to use FAM so bad but I just cant bring myself to do it knowing we would not be okay if we accidentally conceived.

That is why we decided to try it out. I wanted off bc, and we figured if it didn't work we would be just as happy. But it does work, and we will continue to use this method going forward.

If anyone is interested and wants to speak to someone about it, the Catholic church really promotes this method. There are classes at many different churches given by RN's that will teach you, review your charts, and will always be available going forward to answer questions. We didn't do it for religious reasons, but it was helpful that they offered this to us.
