This is going to make me sound like a bitch...but hey maybe I am. Lol! Friends of ours has a kid close in age to ours. The wife always says she misses L, and I think she is being fake. I don't miss her kid. She always wants to hold L but I never want to hold her kid. I really think it's because I'm not a huge kid person but I love my son to death, is that even possible?! I love looking at cute little kids, but I don't have a desire to hold them or play with them really.
I only have one thing to bitch about... this GD MFing boot! I thought I was getting it off on Monday, so I scheduled a pedicure yesterday and my pretty toes can't even be seen. Not to mention the stress of what the heck I'm wearing on my cruise next week because absolutely nothing looks cute with this ugly thing. Wahhhhh!
My random is I have TONS of half started house projects and zero motivation to finish. I convinced H months ago to let me use the guest room as my girl cave and it's not done, the backyard project not done, garage project not done and so on...
Also, this is my ongoing vent/random people should really stop asking anyone "Are you planning to ever have kids?" Followed by "You guys aren't that young anymore" Thanks, I'm well aware of my age and lack of biological child. I have been asked twice this week and it makes me rage in the moment.

Lol I'm kind of this way too. I adore my own child, but I have a friend with a baby one month older than mine and I just don't feel anything towards her. My friend loves J to pieces though. She also has a toddler who I can't stand because she's kind of a terror....
Eta: all that to say that yes, it's totally possible to not like kids other than your own
I have the pitch perfect version of please don't stop the music in my head right now. Coupled with my morning coffee, I'd really like to have a dance party in my office, but I share it with three other people and I'm not so sure they'd be on board.
@blonde407, you've got the damn boot on STILL?!?!? You poor thing. I would have bedazzled the shit out of it by now. If I'm gonna wear a boot like that, you best believe glitter will be involved, dammit.
My boss told me she was going to increase my bonus over the summer. Then she said something about a month ago about it. I just got my check and there is no increase. I am annoyed that I will have to approach her about this. Also there are other things going on here that make me wonder if she really wants to increase it. I guess either way I need to say something

Totally normal - I love my kids to death, but I don't necessarily love everyone elses...although when L is out of the baby stage and in the toddler/tantrum phase, you might want to hold a baby just to remember that they weren't always terrors! HA!

HA that's so true! I crack up reading the stories on MMM.

I am the same too! I have never been into other friends' kids. I love my own kid, but just really have no desire to hold other babies or play with other kids.
Stories about kids being terrors and being around friends kids who have meltdowns is what may keep H and I in the DINK camp forever. We are on the fence and agreed that if we did have kids we would only have one. But kids at all is something we could live without having. We are going to reevaluate in about 2 years and see lol

I love getting good clothes for cheap. I am part of a boutique wholesale page. I know the person who does it all is very busy getting orders checked and sent out or ready for pick up. But dammit she hasn't answered my quetion and i am suppose to have an item for pick up and she hasn't tagged me (she only does pick ups one day a week). I am getting annoyed and this is becoming a hassle. I will probably not order again. I have said this before though but the pull is to strong lol.
We have a wedding to go to tomorrow and then a party afterwards. Just a very casual hey we got maried come celebrate party throw some meat on teh grill type of thing (which completely suits the couple down to the bone, and they also didn't tell anyone until Sunday). One of our friends who is going wnats me to dress up as black widow and she is going ar harley quinn (jokers lady or something) anyways i am unsure of the outfit since i am kinda just throwing it together from my closet. verdict?
I'm cranky and bored at home and I don't want to clean or look for a stupid license plate holder that my H and MIL are making THE BIGGEST DEAL OVER. I just told him to deal with it, I'm not looking anymore. His shit, his responsibility. Faaack.
how is it humanly possible to make this a big deal?? need me to punch someone for you? i so will. you're about to birth a child, AND AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THEIR SHIT.
I always feel bad 'liking' someone's OOTD photo when they say they're having a bad day. But more often than not the person looks phenom!
We are meant to go to happy hour with DH's boss and his wife tonight but I'm already tired and want to go home haha! That plus baking for my MOPs meeting tomorrow and a Halloween party Friday I'm tired!

Lol! We were the same way, hence why we were married 6 years before we even decided to try to get pregnant. And we are most definitely in the OAD camp.

Lol we may change our minds in a few years... but for the moment, I'm good with my life as it is and am not ready to change that any time soon. We have had so much life change in the last 18 months. Time for us to to just chill and enjoy life right now lol

I have another random...post partum shedding is for the birds. I loved that my hair didn't shed while pregnant, I can't wait until this stage is over. I welcome any recommendations any moms have on how to lessen the shedding.

What is OAD?
Yes, definitely enjoy it!
One and Done
I go back and forth on having a kid with DH pretty much every day. He already has two kids so he's good either way. I am 34 though so I feel like I need to make a decision ASAP!

I'm kind of over my dh's niece and nephew along with their 3 kids and dog living with us. They sold their house in Dallas and had to be out of it over a week ago, so they moved in with us while they wait for their new house deal to be final so they can move in. It may not happen until sometime next week.

Our house offer was finally accepted. It lasted eight days. It felt more like a hostage negotiation. The seller has a 14 closed circuit cameras on the property including one in his closet. He also has the cellar and garage padlocked shut and hasn't given any of the realtors keys. It's Halloween week and I can't even make this shit up.
glw and aak0517, we're in the SINK camp and love it. I tried volunteering here and that didn't work out since they are that closed minded. I hope to start working when we move back to civilization since women with MBAs are unheard of here. If I can't get a job right away, it volunteer at the craziest shit I can find and drop in dance classes.

I want my house to myself again.
Wow. That's a full house! But so nice that you're letting them stay with you. They better be sending you a nice thank you note/gift once they move into their new place.
Just once I'd like to get my eye makeup even so that both eyes look exactly the same. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why I can't make this happen.
My kids are home from school tomorrow. I'm already dreading all the whining about being bored.
Today is my tenth anniversary and my gift for H didn't arrive yet. I, OTOH, got a really nice pair of earrings so wheeeeee for me! LOL

Also, speaking of creepy the previous owner of the current house just drove through the county land behind our house super slow on an ATV. He's a super nosey asshole. We're staining concrete to put this place on the market and make it look like he didn't eff up the construction. We put in new doors yesterday. I'm trying to figure out if I should show off my machete, crossbow, or recurve bow to our caretaker/ close friend if he shows up again. Also, he took the jogging path home on his ATV. RAGE!!!
ETA: The extent of this guy's creepy is that he was almost arrested for assault by his new neighbor less than a year ago for clocking the guy in the head and breaking his Bluetooth headset for work, scamming at least $5k out of a widow with Alzheimer's for miscellaneous yard work before her kids could get power of attorney, bleeding us for yard work to a lesser extent while throwing pool parties in our pool while we were out of town (had different house sitters) with specific instructions that he was to have nothing to do with with anything in the pool area, and this is only what we know of in the past year alone. Also, the county land is a protected wetland and the jogging path has posted "no motorized vehicles" in multiple places. He wasn't wearing any protective gear nor was the 2 year old on his lap. The house that he loves in now was his Mom's, but he took POA and evicted her. His history of violence dates back to HS and DH is gone until next week.
