Saturday night AMA?

[mellymel]

I am 85 posts away from senior member...so now seems like a good time to do an AMA!

A few quick facts about me to spark some AMA questions:

I'm a work-outside-the-home mom
DS is 3 and DD is 1
DH is a SAHD - this may prompt the most questions

[ssmjlm]

What do you do?

Does your DH plan to go back to work?

[212]

As a sahd, does he also do all the domestic stuff? Or do you split?

Does your husband have SAHM friends? I don't think I would love that, lol.

No, he doesn't really. The mom 2 doors down is a SAHM but she's crazy busy so they don't hang out. I don't think I would love it if he started hanging with a bunch of SAHMs, now that I think about it!

I am an HR manager.

DH may go back to work when the kids are in school but we are several years away from that point.

What are your thoughts on grapefruit?

We have a cleaning lady that comes every 2 weeks and does a deep clean of the entire house. This is a sanity saver.

DH does all the laundry. He also does all of the cooking too. He mows the lawn...basically I don't do much domestic stuff. It's pretty awesome, really.

I haven't watched the grapefruit video yet and so I don't really have any thoughts on it, lol.

DH would probably be like, "WTF?"

[ladygrey]

Are you planning on any more kids, or are you done?

We are done. We really need to do something permanent about it. DH agreed to a vasectomy, just need to get it scheduled.

What is your opinion of me? Hahaha

Lol

You are one of my faves

[greencrayon]

Looking at your signature... Did you plan to have both of them in may? My DH and his brother are 2 years and 2 days apart.

Nope! DS took over a year to conceive. When we were ready to TTC baby #2, we figured it might take a while again but I got PG on our 2nd cycle trying. It just kinda worked out that way

It was lovely having the summers off for ML!

What is your favorite way to spend "me" time?

[mellymel]

Favorite posters? Least favorite?
Beer or wine?
Favorite vacation (with kids and without?)

I like you! A lot! And I think you need to care less about what other posters think of you.

Favorite posters: so many! I'll start with pugz, @starry, hermione, @notquiteblushing, gravytrain225, ... Let me keep thinking on this one!

Least favorite posters: I don't think there's anyone I dislike here but I'll think some more about this. I'm sure there's someone that irritates me from time to time that I'm forgetting. If you asked me about ML, I would be able to name some names

Wine, hands down. I loathe beer.

Favorite vacation with DH - honeymoon in St. Lucia. A close second is Maui. With kids - we have only been on one vacation as a family and that was a couple weeks ago in Maine! It was wonderful.

Shopping. I hardly ever get time to shop alone anymore!

[mellymel]

Headed to bed but am happy to respond to more questions in the morning

[Marmee]

I had a SAHD (he was a journalist, his wife a lawyer) in my group of SAHM friends & I really liked him...everyone moved away (either to burbs, another area or out of state) though .

Does he take the kids to any activities?

Does he leave shit on the counter instead of putting it in the trash? Does he play video games or watch wrestling while watching the kids? OK, maybe that's just my husband.

Now this sounds promising. Tell me about ML. ::cups chin into hands and waits::

Yes - he takes DS to preschool and swimming. DD isn't really in any activities yet but he does things with her like grocery shopping when DS is at school. He also takes the kids to the zoo and to parks a lot.

DH doesn't leave stuff laying around the house. He is the more organized one of the two of us. Last Thursday I came home and he showed me that he organized all of our main floor closets, lol. He does watch tv sometimes during the kids' naptime.
