I got an android phone today and I have no idea what I'm doing. I ready miss autocorrect. Stupid meat hands.
Also, I love having a girl. I was hoping this kid was a girl, but oh well. Boys are busy as hell. I always rolled my eyes at my mom because she was always like "just wait, boys are so crazy" when I would complain about how sofia was hard to control. Lol. Lol forever.

PDQ. My H's parents are giving him $$$ in a TFSA to be managed by their financial planner and I'm all kinds of annoyed about it. I mean, it's their money and (I guess) they can put whatever strings they want on it. I just can't help feeling that I should have some input on how our family invests that amount of money. Yes, I realize I'm complaining about a very generous gift. I'll take my flames now.

my girl far outstrips my boy in the "spirited" department. Omg.
No flames from me. A gift isn't really a gift if it comes with conditions or strings attached. It's generous of them obviously, but it's more of a potential benefit rather than an immediate one. I'd think of it more as a future inheritance and maybe that will help you feel less annoyed.
He's suggested the same as meggers5 . That we do what they want for now, and we can move the money later. But he also thinks it's a really good idea and that we'll probably want to just keep it as-is.
On another note, tonight's our town's big Halloween parade and it's raining and H is OOT and I'm hoping I can make my kids forget all about it so we don't have to deal with it tonight. I'm a Halloween Scrooge.
There have been many days in the last few weeks where I want to get in my car and just drive and drive and drive. Remember in the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, when the mom loses her shit and bails for a few days? Yup. I get it now.
Dateline disclaimer: If I ever ACTUALLY disappear, I was taken. I would never actually leave the family with no one knowing.
lol. I think about that a lot.
I came seriously close to this while on maternity leave. H was with the kids and the thought of going home to them made me so depressed I seriously almost kept driving.
1) I am so happy that my parents aren't coming over for Halloween this year. My mom is exhausting and my dad always has to throw in an I hate Obama speech. They always make Trick or Treating about them and it drives me nuts. If they don't get in 70+ pics with the kids I'll hear about it. I also just want to hang out with my neighbor friends. We have the best time without them.
2) Sometimes I wish we just had one child. The fighting is off the fucking chain around here. Like, I want to start walking around with headphones just to drown out the chaos. I also have one child in mind that I would rather keep so that makes this the ULTIMATE confession.
This morning Leo lost his shit during a dental study he is in. Total scared meltdown. Afterwards he kept asking me to take home to snuggle and I was like "umm maybe snuggle with DCP instead" like now DCP is his stand in mom. He was all sniffily and went to her and snuggled. I have lots of feelings about all that. I am happy he loves her, sad it can't always be me because job and happy I got to shove my screaming kid onto someone else. Poor baby
Can't someone just be happy their kid is what they are without being all 'THANK GOD I don't have what you have?' Also, my girl has not cost me anything extra in terms of hair bows and fancy socks. Membership to the climbing wall, and new skates and skis, yes. Spending on our kids is not gender specific.
My mom deliberately kept all gun-like toys out of the house when we were little. What did my brother do at age 3/4? Bit his toast into a gun and pew-pewed everyone in the room. LOL You can try, but there's not much you can REALLY do.
OMG. My brother did this with sandwiches. I thought he was the only weirdo who did this.

I want kids (I think?) but reading posts here really scares me. I don't think I'm going to be a good mom.
You might surprise yourself. I have never, ever been a little-kid kind of person. It turns out I just hate everybody else's children. My own are totally copacetic.
lol
See, I like kids! I work in education so I'm so used to kids. I'm just worried about my ability to keep a tiny human's shit together since I barely have a hold of my own.
