"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."
I confess that I feel that SOME mothers have unhealthy relationships with their sons. My MIL treats my husband like he is still a child. (Except when she calls asking him for money to put gas in her gar or buy frivolous material things.)
One time she came to visit, and I woke up the next morning and went to the bathroom, I come back and she is in our bed (under the covers and everything) with my DH and patting his head and talking to him like he's 7. What made it worse was what she was wearing for pajamas, which was basically a little cotton nightie. I'm sorry, wear what you are comfortable to sleep in but put on a robe when you are in someone elses home. Also, she likes to hold his hand and is just overly touchy with him. Maybe I am a horrible person, but this weirds me out. (Also, it should be noted that it weirds DH out as well.)
HA! This reminds me of an episode of Modern Family where Mitchell's mom is sitting in the bathroom chatting with him while he's taking a bath like it's no big thing. Eek!
But here's another confession... I sometimes worry about having boys just because I'm terrified I'm going to be a super possessive jealous MIL

I feel like we've had a week of Tuesdays over here.
More like 2.
And quite honestly- this is the only even remotely interesting post on this board in FOREVER.
I think the only possible way to battle all of this out effectively is a dance off.

Confession 1: I'm a tiny bit excited about my husband going on a "boys' trip" this weekend so I can clean and study in peace (I have a big test next Wed). Even though it's prime baby-making time and so we'll have to have sex Friday morning and Sunday night and hope for the best.
Confession 2: I hate sex in the morning. Ugh. Gross. Just let me drink coffee and shower. Leave me alone!

I second that confession. I don't want to be one of those MILs! There was an episode of Sex and the City like that as well. With Charlottes husband and MIL. He was in the bath too. ICCCCKKKKKYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

My confession is that most of the time when I see it I feel bad for you, but once in a while when you post in someone's thread something cruel/ridiculous/angry I experience schadenfreude. Then I feel guilty for enjoying your mini-meltdown, and I post something nice to the OP because I try and counter your bitchiness with some kind words. It won't kill you to either ignore the posts you don't like, or simply post a kind word and move on, but you seem to be incapable. You have to get that dig in. You can't let it go. You have no idea if someone's BFP is a beepbeep or MUD, but you will never give them the benefit of the doubt. Or just move on. You have to say something.
I wonder why you even want to have children, if every tiny thing bothers you. If you can't even skip over a post or thread you find annoying or stupid, you're going to be a lousy mother. And don't kid yourself, there are many lousy mothers out there. You're not going to magically turn into a happy, well-adjusted human being just by giving birth. If life is this miserable now it's only going to be more difficult.
I alternate between enjoying your crazy (because it makes me realize how happy and normal and blessed I am in comparison), and feeling really bad for you and the people who have to deal with you every day. You are fascinating, if nothing else.
Come on GraceinCA, are you really going to not come back and let us know who this is meant for after you took the time to write all of this?!
Unfortunately, I think she is just attempting to incite drama.
As it's seemed with any posts I've seen from her.
Just wanted to say hi!!! Hope you're doing good!!!

I hate my SIL. She is still BFFs with my DH's ex. They even got together and typed me a letter saying DH cheats on me and is a sex addict. And then I had a MC so I basically blame her. She is due in a few weeks. I'm secretly praying she has another girl. She told me I better not have a boy because she would be pissed. Personally I'd give anything to just be pregnant and want to punch her in the face.....wow ok I'm done:)

I am 5 days late and even though I have taken 4 pregnancy test and they all are BFN I am still holding out hope in fancyland that I could be pregnany! My cycle is messed up and that is the reason, I know this as a rational human but for some reason I still test! Ughhh I feel better now... I just which AF would get here already because I wanna start charting!!
I am so sick of all the relative newcomers to TTC who complain about it taking so long. I understand that it's frustrating to not be one of the lucky ones who gets KU right away, but stop looking for IF like it's the fvcking pot of gold at the end of the TTC rainbow.
Andplusalso...if you insist on self-medicating with supplements, don't b!tch about them not working or the side effects. ALWAYS discuss ANYTHING you are taking with your doctor. That's what he/she is there for.
Non-board related:
I know my principal is very old-school (he would have every teacher wear suits if he could), so I purposely shaved my legs and wore a skirt (for the first time all semester) today since I had my observation (not that I normally 'dress down', but it's usually slacks and a decent shirt). I HOPE what I'm wearing doesn't make a difference, but with MAJOR budget cuts coming our way, it doesn't hurt to pull out all the stops.

WTF....did this woman watch Sex and the City and decide to emulate Trey's mom or something?? Yuck!!
Squishy -- you are my hero today. Thanks for the very entertaining present!
FFTC: I am totally bailing on a prospective student weekend gathering for DH's program to order Chinese food and watch bad movies under th guise of having to do some catch up at work.
Also -- I need something new to complain about since we haven't had any Christmas baby posts in like 24 hours.
