COCONUT?! It's sooooooo good though! Especially when combined with chocolate! Have you ever had a Samoa? You don't know true love until you have a Samoa. I feel sorry for people who will never know that love.
Haha shut your mouth! It's the taste and texture. Gross. Makes me want to vomit.

I think it's bullshit to criticize someone for being ignorant and then go on to make an ignorant blanket statement about young moms. If this board has shown me anything, it's that great moms come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and education levels. To imply that I missed out on my youth because I didn't wait to 35 to pop out a kid is asinine.

I like the taste and scent but I don't like the texture of coconut flakes. If it's big pieces of the meat, then yum. Aaaaannnnddd that's what she said.

I work for the government. If you went to Sam's 4 Year School of Auto Body Technical Training, you don't meet the minimal qualifications of having a 4-year college degree....even if you went there for four years.
I guess you'd need to be on this list. And I'd assume there's qualifications to make this list and Sam's 4 Year School of Auto Body Technical Training didn't have them whereas my 4-year college did.
In other words, I didn't ever think that was something I had to define on PB. But, I guess I also didn't think it was something I'd have to define in my marriage. What do I know.

- Harry potter rules. RULES. The books. THe movies were meh.I think I only saw two movies but I've read all the books at least twice
- I get what sprinkles was trying to say and I do think she/you got a harsh flaming. However hopefully she/you will take from this the good parts, the lessons, and let the flames slide off your back as though your body was covered in a flame retardant dragon skin outfit
I love my baby, I do. I LOVE HER. But, I miss things. I miss sleep. I miss just doing whatever I want on the weekends. I miss sitting around watching movies with my husband, reading books etc. I miss my old body, being in shape, having all the time in the world to go to the gym, ride bikes, snowboard all winter etc. I miss being at work all day and not having to pump. Going out at night and drinking as much as I feel like because no baby to feed and no 7am wakeup looming.
we're going to be really poor for a long time.
I love being a mom, much more than I thought I would actually. I wouldn't trade it for the world. But yeah, some older friends of ours (in 50s), have no kids. They have two houses. They go on several vacations a year. They will probably be able to retire early.
Also the argument about "growing old in a nursing home with no one to visit" isn't a great one because, well some peoples kids are little shits who don't care about them anyway and would never visit them in a nursing home, might just be hoping they'll die soon so they can get whatever money is left. Some parents are sucky parents and treated their kids badly and therefore they won't have a good relationship with them etc.
Oh and regards schooling, Ireland is like England/Oz in that you just choose a degree and that's that. I decided to go for a bachelor of science in business information systems, my classes were decided based on this, no electives, can't just take english lit or philosophy or whatever. You take programming classes and business classes like accounting and project management.
Also I didn't get a higher degree, just my bachelors but I went to UNIVERSITY. I graduated from a university.
I paid nothing for my university degree. My family was poor. If we were not poor we'd have had to pay some, but not a lot. Maybe a thousand dollars a year in fees. Instead I got my education for free*, and actually the government gave me some money too for living expenses due to being poor. It's pretty cool because due to my familys finacial situation, without that education being free* I would probably be working a minimum wage job now. Instead it allowed me to transcend boundaries and move from lower class to middle class. Or, upper middle class.
*I say free but of course nothing is free. Taxes in Ireland are atrociously high. But, to me it was free. And had I still be living there now I'd be happily paying my own ridiculous taxes so other poor people could go to university for free as well.
Oh and you can't just go to university, I mean you have to get good grades at school. I studied hard to get the points I needed to study what I wanted to study, it had high acceptance standards grade-wise.
Just to clarify, I wasn't attacking you Sprinkles (nor did I see any). I was just trying to give you a different view point. I hate that as women we either have a family or have a career. While we try to have both there's always a stigma, if you have one or the other there's a stigma. I hate fucking stigmas.
You know who should have a stigma: possums. That darn animal plays dead, gets hit by cars and then eaten as roadkill.

Okay, that's what I get for taking my kid to music class- I am so late to all the fun! I have nothing really to add except that my life was WAY MORE FUN before I had a baby. Yes, I am much happier now, but me and my husband did so many more things. We tried a new restaurant a few times a week, traveled, drank wine, had sex, slept, saw friends almost every day. Now when my friends call I have almost nothing to talk to them about. I get the no kid lifestyle.
