Lame confession. Flameful-ish.

My very good friend just had her second today. I am super happy for her, but I have to admit that ever since she got pregnant, I have been a bit "i dont know the word"

She and my other very good friend had their first babies around the same time (almost 3 yrs now) and every time we got together it was "you dont understand because you dont have kids". Now they both will have 2 kids, and it will be, "oh things are different when you have two"

It probably bothers me because it is annoying and also because when they both had a child, I was still deciding whether to have one or not, and now I am debating having a second.

And no, my decision to have a kid or not will not be influenced by that

Hopefully you won't get the, "you don't know because you only have one and we have two" comment from them. I can see why you'd find it annoying because it is annoying!

I get shit like this from by bff all the time. She is the ultimate one upper. Soo annoying.

I don't think this is flameful at all. I find it annoying whenever anyone pulls the "oh you don't understand" card, whether it be because they have two kids or because they work two jobs or because their H is a total douche. No matter the situation, it's stupid to act like a one-upper.

That is so annoying.

No flames here - that is annoying.

My mom is the queen of this crap. I almost want to have 5 kids (she had 4) just to shut her up.

I HATE that mentality. Having a bigger family does not make you more of a parent.

Similar to you, one of my BFFs just announced that his wife is pg with #2. I felt jealous. I have no clue why. Maybe bc we are iffy on #2 but maybe deep down I really want #2 just not the responsibility (financial and otherwise) that comes with it? Or maybe I am jealous bc it was easy for them and we had to struggle to get pg?

I get you though.

We are seriously the same person.

LOL Willi I would love for you to do that and report back. Plus your kids are hilarious. Or at least the stories you post of them are.

Lol. Yes, they definitely are.

Of course my mom had 4 kids w/o the internet/cell phones/trader joe's/etc so she wins. Forever and ever.
