@vvitchhazel I'm with you on the door bell thing. I grew up on a farm so no one ever came to our door unexpectedly. Now I live in a neighborhood/subdivision and there are constantly people ringing our bell to sell things or try to get us to sign a petition. I don't even answer anymore, but it's still annoying.
@jackiesmom324 I am not a city girl either. Most of my friends from high school and college are living in Chicago, DC, Boston, Seattle, etc. they sometimes will make comments that come across as "why would you stay here? It's so boring? When are you going to move?" As if they think I'm "stuck" here or weird for not desiring the city life. It is just not my thing. I visited NYC once for a long weekend and that was enough for me.
No weddings this year, but I was a bridesmaid at 8 months pregnant with my daughter. We met at 7am to go to Starbucks and the salon and I wanted to die by 9pm. It was miserable, I looked like I was hiding a basketball under the dress.
We semi-coslept when Isla was like 6-12 months just because it was the way to get the most sleep... She slept amazing in her crib for two years and suddenly it all just ended. She was in our bed for a couple of months because it was the only way anyone got sleep, and then it was us switching sleeping in her room. We've just now finally got her to stay in her room alone (we leave after she falls asleep) but it took a lot of bribes. I seriously don't understand how it even happened but I miss my sleepy angel that would just lay in her crib and go right to bed... I think she discovered the world continues on after bedtime and wasn't having it. It makes me want to drink heavily thinking about the last 6 months.
I hate Fourth of July just because people seem to think it gives them a reason to light off fireworks all night for a week straight. One night fine, but if you have to buy them at home and you are within 5 miles of a neighbor, I hate you. I will find you and punch you.
Semi-Related Confession: I hate three. Like, terrible twos are nothing compared to the threenager angst. Fast forward me out of this horrible time of tantrums and whining pleaseeeee.
Another confession (that hopefully won't scare moms of those under three): I'm not a fan of guys wearing flip flops. Maybe at the lake I'll forgive it, but usually it's weird and big hairy toes are not cute. Even worse when guys pair flip flops and jeans.
I also have a three year old and she is going through the same stage. It's infuriating.... some of your comments seem super familiar to me. were you active on a BMB when you were pregnant with your LO?
