I french rolled my jeans a la 1990 the other day so they'd fit inside Uggs.
We were going to sit outside in 35 degree weather at night to watch a soccer game & i didn't want to wear skinny jeans. You couldn't tell & my feet stayed toasty warm
I have a coworker who whines about everything- her kids, her choice to be gf, her students, her dh... Every damn thing! On Wednesday at lunch she complained that she couldnt join a coworker for a night away because her DH doesn't do bedtime alone. He can't handle both kids alone. I straight up laughed and asked what kind of parent can't take care of his own children. She side eyed me and was about to say something when her friend agreed with me. She came up with excuse after excuse. It was nice to get a chance to call her on her bullshit for once.

I take perverse pleasure in seeing how some of my high school mean girls have aged. It has been 15 years. I guess I still care about high school a tiny bit.
FYI for the young moms, I think 34/35 is the age where your lifestyle really catches up, so use that sunscreen.

The only way I could possibly understand was if by chance she was married to Jim Bob Dugger and they have 21 kids.
That's my pet peeve, when women bitch about their husbands, but turn around and enable that kind of behaviour.

It's funny I have a friend whose husband was unhelpful during the newborn phase. Wouldn't change diapers, never established his special way to comfort baby when crying/put baby to bed. Essentially just held the kid when he wasn't crying and that's it. Friend said she didn't care, she loved everything about the newborn phase. That's all fine and good but now that kid is school age and dad does nothing except buy expensive toys...and now they have two more kids to boot. I think if you don't encourage a dad and let him take control sometime you're pretty fucked.
There is still a random Michael Buble Christmas cd in the changer in the stereo that never was taken out in my car. Well I listened to it and realized Christmas music is even better without the stress of the holidays looming. March is the way to go.
LOL. I feel this way often. Cute clothes is the only thing I miss pre SAHM days.
You can still wear cute clothes!
Yes, it's just different! I was a retail manager before and most of my wardrobe was dry clean only. Very fashion forward. With the discount I could and did buy new things frequently. Now that stuff only comes out for date nights or special events. It's harder for me to feel put together in jeans and more casual clothes. I'm working on it!

I think she just likes to complain but she is totally my bEC. According to her he can't cook, doesn't clean, and is an all around douchebag.
When DS2 was a baby and just learning how to army crawl, DH and I would leave a trail of puffs in our adjoining closet room so we could have sex. It would keep him occupied for at least 10 mins.

Either she's enabling him or she (consciously or subconsciously) can't relinquish control. DH was not good on his own with DS1 as a baby. I chalked it up to the nursing situation. But deep down I was very anxious and didn't like DS to cry at all or really to be away from him, especially in the beginning. Also, I used the baby as an excuse to avoid all sorts if things. DH was very helpful in other ways but it still led to me resenting him and eventually resenting not being able to have more than an hour on my own. Things went better with DS2 once I worked on my anxiety. It was rough for a little while but my kids are better off and have healthier relationships with DH and other trusted adults. And I am much happier.

I feel like at this point she ether needs to make changes (and talk to him) or stop complaining. There is an obvious solution. We talked about that too. How it might done be done the way you want but things would get done.

Or is she one of these people where nothing is ever good enough?

I agree. She has allowed the situation to get to this point regardless of the reason. She needs to talk to her husband and make some changes or reconcile herself to a complete lack of personal time.

I painted DS'S toenails last night. I was browsing for a new summer color at walgreens & he saw blue nail polish & asked for it, so I got it. He loves it.
If this is flammable, let me know & I'll put you on my post it

Last year DS1 ran around with bright red nails. My BIL tried to say something to me. I promptly gave him the stank eye and he shut up.
