  • This is the first full day I have had off in over two weeks. I've basically spent the whole day in bed and it's been glorious. Any of you ladies have anything fun going on this weekend?

  • About bit a guys head off for telling me that me having twins is a blessing to the cummunity. Why you ask? He followed it by saying "the world could use two more white people". Grrr, racist man today, and yesterday (or was it the day before) dealing with a sexist, LGBT hating man. I actually am normally very quite and don't say anything when people spew hatred. Fighting hatred with anger does no good I know, but I get so grumpy when people make those kinds of comments now. I guess it's kinda the thought, " what if my kid were lgbt/black/Hispanic/bi-racial? And if this is what these people say to me, what are they telling their kids that will grow up with mine, that will influence the future that my kids/grandkids live in?"
    Ps, yes I know there is hated in every race/religion, it all frustrates me
  • @red3ye Eurgh people like that need an education. It makes me sad that such hatred exists but it angers me that it may continue to be passed down from parent to child. Hope you've met your quota of nasty people for a while!!

  • Ugh, I was really hoping to come here to vent about some personal issues that left me crying and sad tonight, but then I found this thread had been infested with trolls, and it just doesn't seem right to open up with it around.
  • Nothing exciting going on over here this weekend, other than I'm feeling baby move a lot more which is fun!

    @flowerpower5838, I WISH I had something fun going on, does that count? ;)

  • @kitteh81 I hope things are better this morning!

    @red3ye you should have told him the babies' father is black :)
  • I wouldn't get too excited about the ban. She or someone just like her will surely be back. Another healthy reason why you get to know people before giving them your personal email, first and last name via Facebook!!

    I have this strong urge to disembowel all of the closets in my house in order to purge and reorganize.


    I do NOT remember nesting starting this early last time... Oh lordy.  I'll either have a huge mess soon or a very tidy house.  I'm going to assume huge mess.
    I've been having the same urge- just lack the energy to do it. My back storage room is a mess thanks to dh, my closet is full of junk but every time I purge more finds its way in... we have to rearrange bedroom furniture (meaning dh does the work and I supervise) so we can make room for the pack & play in our room, we have to rearrange DD's closet so we can make room for baby stuff in there too.

    It sounds like a good weekend project- for next weekend.

  • @smushi I actually started doing just that yesterday! Two out of 4 closests are in better shape but non of the are great. 1 closet is reserved for just Dh stuff so it will never be clean, but I am determined to clean out the rest.
    Dh mentioned yesterday that he is thinking about we there it might be a good idea for us to move before the end of the year... I understand where he is coming from but I do not look forward to the idea when we just moved in may this year
  • Sooooo there's nothing better to top off a lovely week of my work hours getting cut, and then both DH and I getting sick, than finding out that my hours were cut even further this week. I have 3 days on the schedule. This paycheck is gonna be squat. Tried to be a decent person and give notice before moving, and now I just want to storm over there and let my pregnancy hormones completely demolish my place of business. But I think I'll just stay home and eat my feelings.
  • @2goofykids so sorry to hear this :(
    Eat all of the food!! I don't quite understand, have you given your notice because you've a new job lined up? Best of luck with it if so!

  • @ecwk well we're moving to Nevada to be closer to DH's family. When we get there, DH has a distribution job lined up that pays more than we both make combined right now which is a plus!
  • @oceanchild what is KonMari?  And I suck at meal planning, and it's made particularly with these cravings :(  

    I decided to put off the closet reorg and stuck with cleaning the kitchen and putting away laundry.  Last time I decided to take on a closet project (at 36 weeks pregnant with DS), it required my DH and my dad to rip everything out and turn it into my baby closet/changing station/awesome laundry explosion.  I highly recommend it if you live in a two story house.

    Am I the only super sensitive hormonal woman on tb that gets personally offended when women get on here and say they're extremely disappointed in the sex of their child? It's 100% healthy but oh no, it's the sex other than the one you oh so hoped for. This seriously pisses me off. Like I said, I'm sensitive but geeze, what happened to a little thing called being thankful for what you're given???!!!!
    ETA- this little convo could get us to 100 quick lol!

    It does bother me , but I try to attribute it to hormones on their part as well... Like a craving... You get an idea, sex/gender, stuck in your head and you let yourself go down that hole of "this with my son" "that with my daughter" you almost convince yourself what you are having ... Then they tell you that's not the baby you are having and I can imagine it would be emotionally hard.... I haven't experienced this but this is what I tell myself happens psychologically so I don't cry and feel bad that they aren't happy for their child My anatomy scan is Tuesday and everyone who knows is asking what I think it is or what I prefer ...you know what I Say? "I just want everything to be okay , it has been four weeks since I heard a heart beat and twelve since I have seen my baby, " I just want to know I am not messing this up and the baby is fine.

    I understand what you're saying and yes, I can understand even preferring one gender over the other. I just get really bothered when I see someone be completely devastated and say they're going to need time to get over it. It's like well, you can't just be happy the baby is healthy and focus on that? Having a gender other than what you wanted is definitely not the end of the world. And I'm with you on personally not being picky about this baby being a girl or boy. Anytime someone asks what we want my husband and my answer is always "as long as she/he is healthy that's all that matters". :)

  • Yeah and it also bothers me how people are disappointed because they were for some reason banking on one sex. I mean, you have a 50/50 shot, why are you surprised?
    I guess I thought it would be a much longer road than it actually was for me to get pregnant and I feel so incredibly blessed to be in this situation that if my boy or girl baby is healthy I will never stop thanking God and my lucky stars and the cosmic forces that allowed me to conceive.

    Well there's been 2 posts in the last hour on being upset about the sex and one of them is pretty much getting what she deserves for what she said. I'm seeing a DD really soon lol.

  • I can understand legitimately morning the loss of sons due to miscarrying and that's terrible. I'm sorry for her losses. The poster I'm talking about has a son and wants a girl. Before they ever even knew what she was having started referring to baby as female. Find out it's a boy and she (hasn't ever had a loss) compared finding out its a boy to losing a child. That's the worst part to me. But I do understand what you're saying.

  • Yeah whoa. Okay. Just read her OP and was coming back to say, that's a bit over the top. I mean, I get being bummed for a bit in her situation but omg. If you *don't want another boy* that strongly, adopt a girl or something, don't take the chance.
