Don't judge me because I . . .

Re: Don't judge me because I . . .
Smoking? I got caught smoking at school in 5th grade. I know, I shudder now. I smoked until I was 21.
I started taking alcohol to school freshman year. And then the recreationals, so on and so forth...
Seriously, as I teen, I was the most trouble-causing kid there was. I went to school a few days a week, maybe. I moved out when I was 16 bc nobody cared. It didn't matter what grades I got, whether or not I came home, or if I was high when I got there. Mom made me brownies. She wasn't a hippie, she just had such a wild childhood, she didn't care much. She thought my tongue piercing was fun and kinda wanted one herself.
I thought about being a stripper when I was 18. I was hired. Fortunately I didn't show up. I had been recruited from the bar I worked at at the time.
And we're just scratching the surface. Have I met the requirement yet, though?
Anyone else want to join in on the fun part?
I did many hallucinogens (never smoked a thing) during college. And I graduated in 4 years with a 3.8 GPA.
Does that work for you? I wasn't a wild child, but I wish I had tried harder to be one. My sister broke all the rules for me so things were super easy. Oh, hey...
Don't judge me because I slept with Jay on our very first date. It all worked out.
haha!
Is the party over? I'm joining in a little late. I may DD this down the road for privacy sake of info being on the interwebs...but I've wanted to say this for a while.
Don't judge me because
......I'm bipolar and I choose to take medication for it.
.....We're alredy potty training DS. Not full force but he'll pee pee on the potty once a day or if he's running around w/o a diaper on.
That's it? You're going to quote me so I can't DD and that's all you're offering up?
I need someone to harass. My MIL is making me beyond angry, so I'm getting a bit stabby this afternoon.
Yeah I was totally smoking my parents cigarette butts. So gross, isn't it? I had sex when I was 14 but I was so drunk I don't really remember it. I did so many drugs in high school and freshman year of college, its amazing that I'm still alive. We used to do the most ridiculous things....like hop the fence into the nursery (the plant place) and run through, tripping on mushrooms. Just drove around aimlessly, smoking pot. I was a total slut my senior year, and I loved it.
Thank God I got pregnant when I did. Too bad it was by a complete loser. My poor parents. They did everything right, spoiled the crap out of me and I was determined to screw it up.
None of that makes me a bad person, though. I don't even feel any guilt, shame or regret. They were bad decisions but I had a great time
The only thing I really feel shame for is my behavior when my son was little. There I was, 20 years old with a baby at home and living off my parents, boyfriend in jail. Tuition being completely paid for. And I was skipping classes to visit the loser during visiting hours, spending the weekends out at the bars until 4 am. My parents had to take care of him so many mornings because I was still too drunk to function. Those years are all a bit hazy, I look back on pictures and it seems like a dream.
So yeah. I don't judge. And people can judge me, it doesn't bother me. I'm not going to lie and pretend it didn't happen or make excuses. I'm actually really happy with myself and my life right now and every decision I made is what led me here. So I'm not going to have any regrets.
Oh sorry, I quoted you too. I'll delete if you like.
Oooh have you seen the Oregon Trail ap? Its your farm when you finally make it out west.
I hate the English farm, too. I only use it for the dumb quests they keep giving us. And, seriously, how many farms can we have?!
Why can't we turn one of our regular farms into a winter wonderland?
I'm not going to DD anything, just being a an.ass.
I ? you, ali. Your honesty is so awesome. I am not secure enough to put more of myself out there.
And I ? you for trying, Joyco. I wish I had gone to college after HS. DH doesn't understand when I tell him "nobody told me I should go". I know, passing the buck, but what was the point? I had zero aspirations or motivation.
And I want a farm for each season, MrsRosie. Then I can sit on the season I like all day and decorate it, and use the others for funds until I move to the next one.
Trying again.
Ok, so the year I was going to turn 17, I hadn't lost my virginity yet. And my BFF had---many, many times over. So I made it my new year's resolution to lose my virginity before I turned 17. That gave me 6 months. I visited my cousin in Iowa in mid-June, we went to the Star Trek thing they have in Captain Kirk's birthplace every year (I don't know what it's called, I'm not a Trekkie, she is), somehow found ourselves in a bar (!!), met a few guys and went to the house they were house-sitting for the summer and I lost my virginity to a guy I didn't know and I was completely blitzed. But I won b/c I completed my NYR two days before my 17th birthday. Yay me!
And one of my most favorite memories was going to a Church rave in NYC when I was 17 (almost 18), dropping acid and tripping all over downtown. It was bloody awesome.
Also, hello FCB? I don't like kids. Don't judge, alright? I think I'm one of the few, if not the only one, who actually comes out and says it. I'm also one of those moms who will tell someone else's kid off. Touch my damn kid and you will get a few choice words from me. Screw off, other kid(s). You suck.
Better??
Much.
And I have a coworker who genuinely despises kids. It cracks me up bc she sees them as vile, greedy little snots.
Aaaaaand, sorry for hijacking the thread.
FCB--If I weren't KU I'd drink heavily before my family functions. Seriously, those people make me a nervous wreck and I'm pretty farking zen most of the time.
Joyco--"Excited about life"! I love it. That's my boy to a T and I'm with you. He's got plenty of time to be a bored, disgruntled adult.
Don't judge me because I...
did not like BFing all all, not one little bit and gave it up both times eventhough it was not hard with #2(like with #1)
sometimes loose my cool and raise my voice with my stubborn 6 year old in public
work form home and do not have regular childcare everyday
do not feed my kids all organics
my kids eat at CFA fairly often
my daughter likes "boy" things
my son plays "rough" at school
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I did a LOT of stupid shiit in college that while I don't regret it (regret is a collassal waste of time, IMO), I just kind of feel like I should keep it to myself in certain company. While I never did any illegal drugs (not because I was too moral, but because I was too scared I would love them too much and fvck up my life), I drank and smoked and partied and dated (and by dated, I mean randomly "hooked up") A.LOT., pretty much right up until I started working where I work now. I've been here over 16 years and done a lot of growing up, but even still have had my moments of wild partying that I'm not particularly proud of, until I married DH and got pregnant with DS. Since DS I just can't seem to drink that much anymore, as much as I may want to!
When 3 Became 4
Don't judge me because I'm fat. MyFitnessPal told me that I wasn't consuming enough calories a few days ago, but I still gained 2 pounds. And on that note, why does my phone feel the need to stage an intervention?
As far as parenting goes? Don't judge me because I don't let my child eat candy/ cake/ ice cream every day. ::MIL- I'm looking at you.:: Don't judge me because I don't let my child watch TV. I certainly don't care that other people let their kids watch TV, but I feel like if I mention it (in the context of why Kate and I have no idea who some random character is) that every one looks at me like I have 3 heads. Don't judge me because we don't have any toys that require batteries. Trust me, Kate's not deprived.
Don't judge me because I...
...don't feed my kid organic all the time
...don't let my kid eat cheetos, but do let him have potato chips when mommy or daddy have them
...don't change my kids sheets every week
...don't want to get an epi for my next birth
...sometimes raise my voice at my son
...let my son watch bug's life 7 times over thanksgiving break.
