God. My stepdad would pack the weirdest sandwiches for lunch when I was growing up. Like, scalloped potato sandwich. I remember opening up my brown bag, taking a look at my sandwich, and saying to my bff " what the fuck? Is this a potato sandwich?!" We still laugh about that.
My best friend just had a baby and she had the easiest pregnancy, labor, delivery and now the easiest baby ever and I want to kick her. I had such a rough time with everything and my baby was just so miserable. I'm so jealous that she's enjoying this time with her baby and I didn't.
I'm obviously happy for her....I'm just feeling sad for myself. #pathetic
I think day care graduations, kindergarten graduations, and 8th grade graduations are ridiculous. If I had kids and they had a graduation, I would go because I would feel guilty if I didn't, but I think the fact that they have them in the first place is silly. You get a high school diploma and a college degree. You don't get a Kindergarten Degree. You are not graduating from anything.
FUUUCKKKK I haven't seen this season of GA!!!!! We had TV issues at the beginning of the season, so I missed the first few episodes. I knew I wouldn't be able to avoid spoilers until it came out on Netflix. Sigh.
Maybe I'm one of those parents, but I imagine that I will thoroughly enjoy L's KG graduation.
I'll probably cry, too.
I shall weep like a bitch at daycare graduation. They sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow in front of a slideshow of pictures from throughout the years. And then they give you a CD of every picture they've taken of your child from infancy to age 4. I'm going to wear creeper shades indoors and will rush the exit as soon as it's over. I have it all planned out.
But then again, maybe I'll see nothing but a singing and dancing dollar sign up there. That will be a cool 2 grand in my pocket every month. So I'll amend my first statement and say that I'll either be weeping or smiling like a loon.
I'm sorry AuntFlo - that's not easy. Has he talked to anyone about that, or is there a diagnosis? He sounds a lot like my h, who is bipolar.
Well he went to a counselor a long time ago and the guy was a nutcase, so that really turned him off of therapy. He has never really had the time to do any sort of regularly scheduled sessions either.
He he is very similar to his dad so it makes me think it is more of a family dynamic thing than a mental health thing. I think I am going to try to find a therapist for myself though, to maybe try to help me sort some of my feelings. But we are poor now that he is laid off so I guess I'll have to find someone that does it on a scale.

Being laid off might have something to do with it as well. I'm sorry, I realized after my post that I jumped straight to mental health, I just usually look at things from the framework of my experiences.
You may be able to look into an EAP program through your employer. Always do what's best for you.

Everywhere I go someone is telling me about their effing stomach bug. My DCP told me all about it on Monday. My admin assistant came into work (!!!!!!) even though she was sick. I sent her home. Jack got sick last night and H has felt off.
I. Legit can't go anywhere that is not germy right now and if one more person tells me about what is coming out of their butt I will have a full on anxiety attack.
Also, it goes without saying I can't afford to get sick myself so this is really awesome.
Hey, leave my 5th grade graduation alone! I swear that felt the most monumental of all of my graduations. I was leaving the only school I'd ever known and all the friends I had!
It is possible that my judgment is clouded. We had a Michael Jackson impersonator at my 5th grade graduation.
Ooof, @lazerus24, that's rough. How old is your BIL? Are they happy with the new addition?
He is 22. He just started doing insurance sales but no real income now - he was previously in the service. They are happy - that is good. But we all know how hard parenting is. I am hopeful! But it was very real looking at that baby with a baby in her arms.

Since 05heel is here I feel like this is a good place to tell you since your (hilarious) goose story I am legit afraid every time I run at the lake by my house and those fuckers are on the path. "Please don't chase me...please don't chase me...OH GOD ITS HONKING AND FLAPPING"
I don't even "know" her, and it's annoying. Um.. yes you can both work FT with 2 under 2. Lots of people do it.
That isn't why people are saying it. Being in education teachers have a bit more flexibility and many teachers never come back from maternity leave, at least not right away.

ETA: She is an idiot
No. People are saying it because they're assholes. People said it to me when I got pregnant the first and the second time and I ain't a teacher.
That poster is reacting to it in the worst possible way, by seeking confirmation from internet strangers that she can do it Rosie the Riveter-style rather than dismissing that shit out of hand as anti-feminist propaganda and moving on with her life with nary a bye Felicia.
