Have you ever thought about joining the military? I can't say that I ever have and here are some of my reasons. Please feel free to comment and add yours!
Every time your eight year old whines like a toddler throwing a tantrum (which is about every 5 minutes) it makes me want to punch him in the mouth.
I realize babies are exciting to people, and people get especially excited about twins. I get it.
What I don't get is why people think they're entitled to see my kids. If I'm at the grocery store with their sunshades down so you can't see them, you are NOT allowed to put up the shade to look at them. I don't know you, leave me alone. As long as we're at it, do not tell your child who isn't wearing shoes and literally has dirt all over their face to try to give my babies a kiss. Gross!
When you see my family out at dinner, which hardly EVER happens, we don't appreciate every single person who walks by our table to peek in at the girls and wake them up. We didn't interrupt your dinner, so what gives?
And to the lady who picked up my daughter at the WIC office without my permission, you are SO lucky that you only got yelled at. Who the hell do you think you are?
We've met a lot of people who have twins or are twins who have advice for us, and that's okay. We like hearing other people's stories about multiples. What we don't like is people thinking they can do whatever the hell the want where our kids are concerned... because they can't.
I was raised as a Christian. I went to church every Wednesday and Sunday and my parents sent me to private school so I could get a clean, wholesome, Christian-centered education. I was raised to never question God or why things happen, because "it is all a part of God's plan." I believed in Creationism, and mocked anyone who believed anything else. I thought atheists, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, and everyone who didn't believe in my "god" were terrible heathens who were going to hell.
I won't go into great boring details about the reasons for my sudden 180, but one day I started asking "why?" Nothing made sense to me anymore, and "because that's the way God wanted" didn't seem as good a reason as it used to. I resented my parents for never letting me ask questions to figure it out on my own. I was a total outcast at home and at school for not believing in God anymore. I hate when people try to "save" me. I've already been saved, baptised, I've been there and I'm never going back. I feel more happy and free and accepting of others than I ever was before.
My confession: I vow to never raise my cildren in a certain religion... I want them to question everything and decide for themselves what religion they want to accept as true, if they even want to accept a religion at all. I don't want to force it on them like my parents did with me.
It feels really good to finally get that out.
How do my son's socks get dirty, if he isnt old enough to crawl or walk yet, Im so confused. And yes my house is clean...
I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant and I am SO sick and tired of being sick and tired, lol. It's like a bad hangover that won't go away! When do I get to feel better?
I'm pregnant and have severe morning sickness. I'm sick and tired of everyone telling me whats right and wrong. And What I need to eat, How I need to eat, What my sickness could be, What there pregnancy was like. I can't help I have no appetite, and throw up 7 times a day. I just want to be left alone and for everyone to keep their opinions to themselves!
I am going to nursing school for the money I can make after I graduate but honestly it's not my passion. My passion is children and I'd love nothing more than to devote all my time to saving neglected and abused children. The job doesn't pay much...like $10/hour...I am thinking maybe to be a nurse and do social work on the side but I don't know. I want to devote ALL my time to saving children. What matters more: my career benefits and money or my true passion in life?
OMG My 10 yr old daughter is so sassy and she doesnt even realize shes doing it anymore. I have grounded her everday this month except for maybe one week. I swear Im gonna be in jail by the time shes 13. LOL
I was watching this woman on tv who was breastfeeding her daughter who was 8 years old at the time and said she had no intention of stopping it any time soon...ugh. I'm all for breastfeeding babies and toddlers but 8 years old? I am sorry and I know this is probably immature to say but I think it's gross!
I think I finally realize why so many young wives have babies... and I don't mean the ones who get married due to pregnancy....
Britney SOOO does not deserve her kids back. The sad thing is, there are many wives on this post who should have lost their kids way before Britney ever did!!
Im excited and nervous about this school year. My oldest is going in to the 2nd grade and I have gotten used to it. But now my two youngest are starting pre-k this fall and I am not used to this at all. During the day is going to be hard cause I am so used to them being here all day. I may just go back to school, cause my husband doesnt want me working while he is deployed. Cant believe how old they are getting.
I found out the reason we can't have kids is because of me. I feel like I've let him down. He tells me it's okay, we'll adopt, but I want to feel pregnant. I want the stretch marks, the puking, the swollen ankles.
What have I done wrong?
I love both of our children. Me and my husband began talking when I was pregnant with my first who was by another man and we began dating after I gave birth to my son. His father wanted nothing to do with my child so my husband decided to take over the role of father for him and he's been great. I worry though because we've had another son since then and he was conceived between me and my husband (my husband's first son) but yet my husband is far more attached to my first son than he is to our second. I think it's because my first son was the reason we got together and we've all been through a lot as just the three of us. I make sure to treat both of our sons equally but my husband does not. He admits to me in private that he loves them both but he has so much more a bond with my first and I see it whenever he and our two sons are playing together. he gives 95% of the attention to the older son. So in my mind to balance it out I think I've subconciously given more love and attention to my second son. I want my love for them to be equal but it's not because of the way my husband feels. I feel how I do and he feels how he does...I hate it, though. I just wish we could love them both equally......
knock on wood
but i think my 2 year old FINALLY has the hang of peeing and pooping in the potty! No accidents for the last 3 days! Oh please let him have caught on so we can start on nightime training! please!
Ok so I'm kind of an outsider with an insiders perspective on this but I'm truly appalled by all the comments about cheating within the military community in general. I'm not military and neither are my parents but I consider myself a military kid since i've lived on or near military bases my whole life and have seen first hand the effects of cheating on the children of military people. I don't agree that there is any reason to cheat especially if kids are involved and if your kids are aware of your cheating what kind of example are you setting for them. I've had friends who started rinking and doing drugs, sleeping around because that's what they saw their cheating parents doing. TO me cheaters are selfish and should just get over themselves, why put your family through that?
I made a bad decision when I was barely 13 and got pregnant and had a baby girl, I dont believe in abortion and I kept the baby with the help of my parents.
well its 13 years later my daughter is now barely 13 and she informed me that history is repeating itself, I am 26 and going to be a grandma.
I really dont know what to think, and dont want her to have it rough like I did, but I dont believe in abortion either. Adoption is good, but she told me she couldnt imagine giving her baby away...so I was wondering what you all thought, since she is under 18 is it really HER decision on what to do with the baby? wouldnt it be my baby because she is a baby herself?
CONFUSED
Your kids are a bad influence and they keep getting my kids in trouble, they will not be playing together ever again.
your baby is not cute at all. she looks like a blob.
I don't think I will ever get pregnant.
