I will say, I think that some women exaggerate their interest in sports to impress boys.
But I think that there are plenty of girls who legitimately like watching sports.
There are for sure a lot of them. Fortunately I am not one of them, because I think my obsessive love of college football was actually one of my cons when my husband first met me. He totally did not get it.
Today some asshole left me three voicemails and then when I never called him back emailed me to say he has to decided to no longer serve as the contact person with my office. I don't plan on ever writing back to him, the crazy stalker.
Adults too. I like my second and third born friends more than my first born friends, for the most part lol.
Interesting. Almost all my close friends are oldests, I am an oldest, my DH is an oldest, etc. I must like whiners.
I have several friends who are onlies, but I can't think of any close friends that are the babies of the family.
The first thing I thought when I ready your response was "Birds of a feather flock together." Then I realized it was hens that replied and I had to lol. I crack myself up. Birds of a feather...hens. Haha. Anyone? No? Okay, I'm done now.
It is gross and lazy to still have your Christmas shit up (and I would say this as a few weeks ago, too). This only occurred to me to add as I just stepped over pine needles and even branches in my elevator today.
I am looking at the Christmas lights I still have hanging in the back room while I GBCN instead of being productive. Totally lazy. But I'm confused by gross?

I was the one that said the thing about magic babies. It was not for sympathy for my hard-time, my kid was overall very good (after the first 6 weeks - only saying that because of MM memory, not for martyr status) Anyway, the reason I said it was because during the time of seeing the "magic babies" I felt like a failure as a Mother. Most Moms just want to know their kid is the same as someone else's.
I never brag about how my child is the worst. Just makes me feel like a failure.
I'm jealous of the gtg! I've wanted to meet @gypsy forever! Plus, she's super nice on fb!
I lost my wedding ring. We have a rider on our insurance for it, but I haven' felt motivated enough to file the claim. I am currently wearing a diamonique set that looks way better than my real one.
I skimmed past something being said about girls talking about football and that being weird. To add on to that, I am obsessed with cars, and routinely choose them based on engine performance. MH doesn't get cars at all.
It just seems fake to me... like they are pretending to actually like or care about football. I know it's irrational.
My husband actually didn't watch football AT ALL until he met me. He was forced to watch college football so many Saturdays in a row it finally grew on him.
I remember watching a game with him where he called a shovel pass a "shuffle pass." It was awesome.
I called it a "shuttle pass" one time. I love football but still have some learning to do.

I dont understand negative people. The ones in a bad mood all the time. The ones who are angry before something bad happens. The people that get angry at the smiley Starbucks person for asking them to repeat their order.
I love football and I'm not faking it. I know more about t than my husband who played it!
I will sit and watch a crappy football game between two crappy teams I know nothing about (I stitch, knit, or crochet most of time). My best friend (female) knows more about football than any male I've ever met, including players. She has stopped retired pro players in their tracks with her knowledge of the game. she also tends to win her fantasy football league most years.
My husband played as a kid and is not a big fan. He will follow results every now and then, and will stop and watch a couple minutes here and there with me, but I've never seen him watch a full game.
Flameworthy confession: I desperately want to tell BiL's FI all the horrible things my MiL has done to me in order to ruin their relationship (FSiL and MiL). I'm incredibly jealous that MiL likes FSiL and is happy about their wedding, instead of how she did her best to get DH to call off our wedding. FSiL really has no clue because she only sees the happy and pleasant side of MiL, and I'm afraid FSiL thinks I'm just causing drama.
It sucks doing the mature and responsible thing. I have DH read everything I message to FSiL so that I don't let something slip.
For the 4th night in a row, I'm seeing YOUNG children (think 1-2yo toddlers) out at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm...why aren't these children IN BED? At the gym (in the daycare), at Target, the grocery store, in the mall--dude, your children need to be sleeping. OMG.
I don't if that's flameful or a UO or just a random, but it bugs the shit out of me.

Maybe the parents work non-9-to-5 type shifts and so the entire family keeps non-standard hours.
Maybe the kids sleep in really late in the mornings.
Maybe they nap a lot during the day and so they need less sleep at night.

There are a million reasons they could be out. Esp at 8. That is not overly late.

I don't know man. My parents brought us everywhere and we turned out okay. I like shopping late at night when no one else is there.

Until DS was about 2.5 he stayed up until 10 most nights. DH and I worked late, and DS was home with a nanny so he could sleep in as late as he wanted. We were definitely the parents with the young kid at the grocery store or restaurant at 9pm.

8 PM is early for us. DD usually goes to bed around 9:30-10. 4 nights out of 5, I dont even get home from work until 8 PM. Maybe some parents who work crappy hours actually want to see their kids?

I love football! I think I can thank my dad for that. He starting taking me to high school football games when I was kid. He explained the basics. It made watching games on tv more interesting. I am so excited for the Super Bowl. Go Niners!!!!
I watch more football than my DH although he watches more SportsCenter type shows and remembers players' stats better than I do. I love playing fantasy football.

My daughter is one minute older than my son and she is by far the whiny one.
I have my kids (15 months) out at restaurants at 8pm because they go to bed at 9ish and sleep super late. As long as they hold it together, what is the problem?
I'm a more laid back mom that I thought I would be and the recent intensity of MMMs is off putting. My flameful is that I attribute it to one poster.
Today some asshole left me three voicemails and then when I never called him back emailed me to say he has to decided to no longer serve as the contact person with my office. I don't plan on ever writing back to him, the crazy stalker.

Please tell me he called you a dirty pirate whore
Ha! He was just obsessed with getting this document back and as I told him yesterday when he also called three times (and stopped by my desk) I would call him as soon as I had more information. I don't know if he thought I had information and was not calling him but we'd been playing this game all week and I was sick of it.
1- DH lost his wedding band swimming in a river over the summer. We still have not replaced it. Our friends are shocked at my level of trust in him. messenger.msn.com/MMM2006-04-19_17.00/Resou
2- I really dislike football. I kind of got behind baseball when I married DH, but I don't think I'll ever enjoy watching a football game. I will, however, root for our team in the Super Bowl and will probably post jubilantly on facebook when they win. I realize I'm being a fair weather fan and that's okay with me. I like to be a part of the energy that surrounds a sports team during the playoffs, just not the rest of the season.
My dad is a football coach. I love football, though the ugly side o college athletics makes me jaded sometimes.
I like beer. And whiskey.
I'm the oldest child. So is my H. My dad is the oldest of 7 and mom the oldest of 4. My sister is 6.5 years younger than me, so in many was is a single/ oldest child too. We are all OPINIONATED and type A.
I am mystified by organized religion. It's all a story for me, some based on real events, some on myth and a lot on pure BS. I think of the bible as kind of a historical novel.
That said, I have a strong anti-Morman bias. Can you be racist against a religion? I think I may be when it comes to Moromons. Primarily because of the second class citizenship of Mormon women.
Parenting. It's 98% sheer luck 1% circumstances and 1% effort/ results. We got fucking lucky so far.
