Here's one to get us started. I hate the term "Black Friday." Not sure why; it just grates on me. I get the whole shopping the day after Thanksgiving - that has always been a thing for as long as I can remember, but the actual term bothers me. I think that it cheapens the feeling of actual Thanksgiving by giving this day an actual name rather than just calling it what it is, which is the day after Thanksgiving.
We should fight back on the black friday thing and make it about pirates. It just sounds like it should be about pirates. No more shopping ass early in the morning just back to back pirates of the caribbean

I don't think that children should be more important than a marriage. On my other BMB (where I mostly just lurk sometimes), a poster was talking about how she and her husband were in the middle of having sex but stopped because the baby was crying. Of course H was unhappy about this, and the poster was pissed at him for being upset because "LO just wanted some extra snuggles." It just rubbed me the wrong way. It wasn't, "LO needed fed or changed," basically the baby just wanted to be held. I get that babies need to be held, but you also need time together as a couple. This is probably totally flammable, but if it were me I would've just taken the 5 minutes to finish up and then rocked the baby back to sleep or whatever. Or at the very least, don't be pissed at your husband for being upset about having to stop.

@kleigh926 I usually have to stop when that happens just because listening to the crying kills it for me. And FI never finishes in less than a half hour at least, so we couldn't just finish up real quick like that. There are no quickies in this house.
My uo, I prefer quickies right now. I feel fat and flabby and unattractive with jello milk boobs. Sex is work and there is no way to hide my flaws, so I feel even more self conscious and uncomfortable. And if it takes more than a couple minutes, I can't help but lament that I'm wasting precious sleep minutes waiting for dh to get his rocks off, and THAT kills my mood.

Hey, easy on yourself! I don't like it when you talk about my friend that way! :-q I understand how feeling down on yourself can make the mood not as hot when you can't enjoy yourself as much because all your thinking about is what you think are flaws. Your dh obviously still digs your body and you should too! Look at what your body is capable of and take pride in it. You're a beautiful human being inside and out so next time you are thinking how to make it a quickie try being proud of your body and not focus on things dh probably doesn't even notice and not only will you enjoy yourself more but dh is gonna be like damn what got into my sexy wife! The whole mood will change and you probably won't care if you lose a little sleep!
I don't know that I've ever heard anyone say anything positive about the Black Friday creep into Thanksgiving. So... where are all the crazies coming from who shop then??
I think I'm going to have to start a clicky poll because no one will probably 'fess up to Black Friday shopping on this board

Yes. All of this. Lol!
Wait.... a half hour of actual P in V sex? Or does the half hour include foreplay? If I had sex for a half hour I think my vagina would be unusable for a loooong time after that.

I don't know about uncapriswife and lbonga1 but YES. DH is more like 45 minutes of sex and like five or less minutes of foreplay. We've been together for over a decade and I have tried to explain it to him that I would prefer it the other way around (45 minutes if foreplay and five of actual sex) but no dice. My vag can handle it. It's my hip sockets that get tired. Ach!

Noooo. I want all the foreplay and like 5 minutes of vag time.
Exactly. Can someone please explain this to my husband?
