Confessions?

I confess that I'm getting ready to jump ship if this board doesn't pick up soon. Sleep

    I've been posting on the nest book club but it's not the same. Where did everyone go?

  • The babies did it.  This board used to be really snarky (and I liked it).  s/o, there was a post on the philly bump where I wanted to tell the girl she was overreacting, but there are all but 2 people over there and really saw no point in arguing with her. I guess that makes me part of the problem.

    Yes, I blame the children too. Wink

     

    Where's all of the new blood that got married over the spring and summer? Don't the knot gods try to shuffle them over to here? I may have to go highjack some Philly knot wedding boards and force them to come over here to entertain me!

    Hey, no one is stopping you or anyone else without kids from posting non-baby related posts.

    And most of the Nest people migrated over to GBCN/Proboards.  Much more action over there.

  • My confession -

     I am already mentally checked out at work for my vacation in 2.5 weeks.  I'm burned out from working full time (I've taken over a lot of extra responsibility in the past few months) and juggling life with a baby and I just need a break.  All I want to do is drink wine and look out over the hills of Umbria.

    I have been searching for new jobs as I have no advancement opportunities in my current job but part of me wants to stay here because I can be a bit flexible with my schedule.  We are going to TTC #2 very soon and I think going into a new place and then getting pregnant right away might not go over well. And I'm lazy and don't want to interview.

    I'm tempted to start a fight just to get things interesting over here again. Stick out tongue

     

    Did we lose regulars to GBCN?

  • I didn't say that intending to start a fight, just stating the obvious.

    I know Beagle pretty much only posts on the MM board now.  Not sure about anyone else.

    Stick out tongue  <- this is my "I'm making a joke" face. I have no issues with the kid posts. In fact, I read many of them and mark them to be "watched" so I don't have to ask the same questions again should I ever have a kid. Good stuff there. Very informative.

     

    Also, I miss Beagle. Crying

  • I confess that all of my confessions are pregnancy- or baby-related. 

    My life has become so one-dimensional while prepping for this kid.  This is why I am not sure if I will be cut out to be a SAHM.  I would almost feel like a fool for not returning to a super family-friendly job with excellent time off (approx 20 WEEKS!).  But I am nervous about the work-life balance and putting a teeny tiny baby in daycare in the height of cold/flu season this December.

  • I confess that I went away for a girls weekend this past weekend.  When I got home after picking the kid up from daycare, he kept crawling all over me and laying his head on my chest.  While it made me elated because he clearly missed me, it made me feel awful because I left for a few days.  Pathetic.
