How are you doing today? Do you have anything to brag or complain about?

If you were raising yourself, what's one thing you would change about your childhood and how you were brought up?

MrsL2B

I slept through the night and woke up feeling great a little bit before my alarm went off, which is the first time that's happened all week. But then I got to the gym and it was locked! I took my dog on a walk this morning instead, but it was not exactly the workout I'd hoped for.

I would take myself on more of my vacations. After my parents got remarried, they usually just went on vacations with their new spouses and left me with the other parent.

Physically feeling fine. Mentally exhausted. Work has been just awful and I'm so ready for maternity leave so I can look for another job.

Baby only seems to kick when his father is around. Little turd.

Hm. If I were raising myself, I'd let me eat ice cream for breakfast ;-)

@Jennifer18131‌ ice cream is dairy, therefore a breakfast food

EXACTLY! I don't understand how my parents didn't get that.

How are you doing today? Do you have anything to brag or complain about? Feeling okay this morning. Slept in one position for a bit too long last night, so a bit of back pain and tired per usual, but not terrible. Just wish I had more physical energy for my workouts - definitely slowing down there....runs have become run/walks. Couldn't do my strength workout yesterday as I had a terrible pain in my right side much of the afternoon/evening - which Googling told me was probably my high sitting baby pushing uterus into my ribs...fun... At least that appears to be gone this morning. If you were raising yourself, what's one thing you would change about your childhood and how you were brought up? I would change two things... one I would be ore strict about diet. Part of the times, but my folks allowed every possible junk food in our house and I did get chubby for quite a bit of my childhood. We were the house other kids wanted to go to after school because we had all the "no-no" foods. I'd make a more united front - my mom would say yes than my dad would overrule her and by the time we were teenagers we were not listening to either of them. I saw some PPs about less strict - I think I'd be a bit more strict.

How are you doing today? Do you have anything to brag or complain about?  Today my back is probably about 75% better   So I'm pleased about that.  I slept great last night!  I only got up to pee one time. 

If you were raising yourself, what's one thing you would change about your childhood and how you were brought up?  My parents were very strict, and I had very little freedom to do what I wanted.  For the most part I didn't mind but as I got older a 9:00 curfew was a real problem.  I'm pretty sure I'd let me have a normal curfew and trust me a little more.

How are you doing today? Do you have anything to brag or complain about? I'm just tired. I want to go back to bed. Also, Sprint is STILL pissing me off! I hate you Sprint. No one ever go to them. 

If you were raising yourself, what's one thing you would change about your childhood and how you were brought up? Well being the only girl I was way over protected. My parents might as well have put me in bubble wrap. My parents were both working on getting college degrees and then master's degrees when I was younger so they basically never had time for me. I don't think I would change any of the things because life worked out the way it did for those reasons.

How are you doing today? Do you have anything to brag or complain about?  Doing well.  Have to conduct new system training today, so I am sure that I will be exhausted by the end of today.  

If you were raising yourself, what's one thing you would change about your childhood and how you were brought up?  I would have my parents be more consistent.  Most of the inconsistency was due to my parents being divorced so we had one set of rules at one house and other set at the other house.  I am taking basic rules - like bed time.  

@MrsL2B - My parents were very similar.  We (especially me since I was 6 years younger than my sibilings) would get shipped over to the other parent's house when one set went on vacation.  When I was young, it wasn't so bad but once I became a teenager, I rarely had a family vacation with either set of parents.

Better today! I actually got a little sleep yesterday and I was able to take a nap yesterday afternoon as well!  I am still tired, but functioning better and have more desire to get my work done today! I think it will be a productive day at work. One more day until the weekend! Thank God!

If you were raising yourself, what's one thing you would change about your childhood and how you were brought up?

I would change who my mother married... If I had my way, she never would have married her current husband.  I can say with 100% certainty that my childhood would have been much better with out him.

Today is a great day my FI & I are leaving tomorrow for the coast to have our destination wedding, I am 6 months prego and looking forward to sporting my baby bump in my stunning gown! We went from having an overly priced wedding of 100+ people to having an intimate beach ceremony with 6 people... I am feeling quiet relieved.

One thing I plan to do with my children is to really listen and interact with them, and feed their intelligence, my mom was a single mom of 5 and I was the oldest... so I noticed that it was hard to communicate with her being so busy and distracted... I hope to always provide a welcoming ear and loving hug to my girls.

How are you doing today? Do you have anything to brag or complain about? Turn 25 weeks today. I am exhausted and a little cranky. Not sure why, but just seems to hang around. I am HUGE! I cannot get comfortable. Please excuse my blah attitude.

what's one thing you would change about your childhood and how you were brought up?  I would not yell or name call. I truly have the best parents, but my father had an issue with anger and name-calling. It is hard and unfortunately I have picked that up. I have worked on it and am getting better

I'm good. Having a hard time sleeping though. And lord has my appetite gone through the roof!!!

I would have expressed my love more. My Mom never said I love you to me, but she did to my siblings. She was rather unsupportive towards me.

Tired! I'm working full-time and do freelance work part-time plus a 3 year old. I am procrastinating work as we speak
