OMG, if I have another beer right now, I will not make it through dinnertime/bathtime. But once he's down for the night, it is on. I conned H into taking the baby for a walk until dinnertime because I'm SO worn out from watching the baby all day, aka lounging at the library and relaxing at lunch.

Haven't read... Football is giving me a headache and I am about 80% sure his daughter hates me.

Awesommmme. I wish tx sold liquor on Sundays.

I will be drinking a lot of here instead. A lot.

Having such a nice day. Just went for an all time klassy walk. Me: camie and comfy pants with flip flops. Baby girl cute as usual dragging barbie car by a shoestring. Both of us have I don't care hair. Hotmess. But I got her to walk all around the block yay!

We have Hodge podge dishes from 4 past roomates. We have a full set of fiesta wear in the trunk of our car but we're waiting till roomate moves to pull them out, no idea why. #wierdtruestory

I think the dishes are fine! We are still rocking DHs bachelor dishes and silver wear. I hate them. I do, however, have awesome towels. Total towel snob over here.

I have a combination of old dishes that were my grandpa's, as well as a random set of 4 that were my grandmother's but brand new (she'a packrat, probably forgot she owned them). Glasses and mugs are a random assortment. Cutlery is a mix of 2 nice sets from my grandmother.

 Towels are so pathetic. I actually told DH that this year anytime someone asks what I want for my birthday/christmas, I will say nice towels. 

We used to keep our shoes on when we had great pyrenees.  The hair was too out of control. Now we take them off. My stepfather always leaves his shies on. It drives my sister insane,  I don't really care.

I prefer no shoes in the house.

I don't love white dishes.

Wow - I am so sorry @katnhiding‌. I also had to look it up bc I have never heard that term before. It is very disturbing another child knows and would use that word. Hugs.

I'm willing to bet that child has no idea what the word itself means. It's probably being repeated. It's still a horrible thing for a child to be saying.

I just don't buy this but I'm tainted. It's like when someone says oh he didnt know what it meant (n word) - I'm just supposed to buy that it was a fluke he used it around someone black. Oh okay, wink wink.

I think kids sometimes say words they don't understand. When I was young, I was playing a card game with my sister (much older sister) and after she won I said "you bastard!". I had no idea what it meant, but I had heard it on T.V. before. Did I ever get an earful!

Drink faster @MrsButt

True story: @mrsbutt's daughter told me I needed to finish my beer at lunch today. Audrey knows what's up.

Pizza is in the oven and a beer is in my hand. Well, on the table next to me and periodically my hand lol

Cute Dad assures me that his DD does not in fact hate me, and that she just had other shit going on (apparently she was crying earlier because she didn't have friends over? or something?) and I should calm my tits. And we fit a quickie in before I left, so I guess overall the afternoon was alright. 

I also met one of his really good friends, and we got along really well. His gf might eat crackers for me - I hope not - but yeah. Overall good. 

Sorry for the blog post. 

lol jk, I'm not sorry.

I would think that the boy knew he was saying an awful insult. Maybe not the true meaning (I just looked up, because I wasn't familiar with that term). I think it would be appropriate to speak with him the next time he is at your house. I would maybe start by explaining there is two sides to every story and you just want to get things straight. That can help lead up to the discussion around that word.

I'm with @TyrannosaurusLex‌ on the shoes in the house. I'd feel pretty awkward if someone insisted I keep them on, that's how unheard of it is around here. Again, exception for fancy Christmas parties but most folks don't walk around in the snow in fancy shoes.

I don't like white towels. Or I should say cream or ivory towels. We have a bunch they colour that all started out matching and now 5 years later are various shades of off white. I guess I should do pure white or colours next time.

@jesuisfatiguee‌ I'm sure she loved you. Girls that age are tough. They can still be really sweet and close to their parents one minute, then the next minute parents suck and their life sucks and everyone else sucks. And most I've encountered are crazy dramatic.

You are so sweet  We hardly interacted, it's just that when I walked in the door and said hello, she gave me a "Okay, fuck are you talking to me for" look and basically didn't say anything. She may have smelled my fear

I guess the jury is really out until our next encounter. It just didn't help that CD said the only other girl he's introduced her to hit it off with her really well. Oy!

@jesuisfatiguee‌ kids are a lot like cats. The less interest you show in them when you enter a room the more they want you to like them. You screwed yourself by being friendly, and it was probably the right thing to do or CD would think you're a bitch. But now you can play the aloof game and she'll be way into it. Trust.

I love you so much.

Did you know babies are hard wired to watch their mothers emotional reaction to strangers? The higher the mother raises her eyebrows and widen her eyes the more they think she likes you and deems you trustworthy. Fascinating! You can mimic those facial gestures to enhance the message. Try it next time you meet a strange baby! Raised eyebrows, wide eyes, smile. They love that shit.

I met a 4 month old today who was totally into that. She thought I was hilarious.

As someone in a mixed relationship with a mixed child I have to say I get where @mcbenny is coming from. While the 9 year old may not actually get it ( and I believe they get more than they get credit for) the family is saying things in that kids presence and I am not sure I would be so understanding. I will do anything to make my child never have to feel bad about what she is. I know it will be hard, but I will try my very best

I think @katnhiding‌ is doing great and will make the best decision for her family.

Ugh!!! I'm trying to post a video of DD. Oh well.... I suck!

angelashly

I never said that the kid wouldn't be allowed back in my home or that I wouldn't try to educate him, but I also know from experience that you can try to educate all you want but you can't change the family that the child was raised in. I also think and I hope this doesn't come out wrong because I love everyone here, but I changed my stance on this type of stuff once I lived it. It is different when your child comes to you and says mommy they said I can't play because I'm not white when my kid isn't even that dark. She is 3 so while I know those kids really had no idea it hurt me so bad that they were taught that.

That is heartbreaking @angelashly.

It makes it harder when the kids don't know better and are just repeating what they hear.

@angelashly and @pobrecita *hugs*

I'm sorry I brought up a rough topic, I was just so surprised at the word usage.

Let's talk about boobs or sex now. Where's @justAphase

Don't be sorry @katnhiding‌ it's a topic that will be around unfortunately it's something people go through I just wanted to share why I felt the way I did. Fwiw I think you did great and I hope you teaching the boy will help him understand and he won't ever do it again
