Re: FFFC
My FFFC is that I CRIED yesterday watching the Swagger Wagon video on YouTube because I found the pride and love of parenting to be so touching. I know it is pregnancy hormones but I sure felt BSC.
This is the video, it was popular/viral about 2 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUG3Z8Hxa5I.
OMG I just watched this. Hilarious!! I LOL'd multiple times.
My FFFC: I just watched this video and Parker said to me: "Mom you should show that to the SAHM board" =|
That was awesome, I'd never seen it! Thanks for sharing.
But that leads to my confession...
I am just too stubborn to get a minivan, no matter how practical and great they are for families. I can't do it. Right now all 3 car seats are crammed into the back of my sedan.
This was my FFC a while back. We can fit the three car seats in the Jeep we that is what we're sticking with.
LOL! I don't get the minivan hate. I never really wanted a minivan, but I drive one and like it.
My confession is that I LOVE when people are ADAMANT that they will NEVER EVER EVER drive a minivan and then end up driving a minivan. Puts a smile on my face every time.
Oh, and I"m not saying you 2 will end up with a minivan. I'm talking about my own friends IRL.
LOVE that commercial... doesn't make me cry, but this one does. Every. single. time.

My FFFC (and only because it's flame free): A couple days ago I noticed DD's ear smelled like a#$ so I took a look see... I found so much ear gunk in that top fold. Nasty. Had NEVER WASHED IN THERE. Go ahead, judge me... I deserve it. From now on I'm going to be the ear nazi lol...
Actually, I think that has a part in my saying "never ever". Since I was a little kid I always maintained that I would NEVER drive a minivan. To do so now would make me a huge hypocrite! I'd never hear the end of it from my friends and family.
DH would love to have one, well, that or a wagon (shudder). I'll stick with my zippy little BMW thank you very much! Right now we're looking into an SUV to replace DH's Jetta, but even that's pushing it for me, Lol!
However, I am encouraged to hear that you can fit 3 across the back of a Jeep. Those new Grand Cherokees are so nice!
Harriet- I completely understand that one day I MAY eat my words even though I really do not see that happening. I'm going to do everything in my power not to. But, if one day I get a minivan, I will be posting here eating crow...don't you worry
1) I love my minivan. My first car in HS was a minivan though so it has never been a "dumpy mom" thing for me.
2) Ok, I lied. I currently hate my minivan, but not minivans in general. I want a new one. Mine has really crappy a/c and I can never seem to get the back seat cool (huge problem in triple digit weather...). When you turn on the a/c in the rear of the van, you can no longer accelerate at a respectable rate.
3) I am a terrible housekeeper. I am finally addressing the pile of clean laundry that has adorned my hallway for the past week. (School has been brutal this week, so that's my excuse). DD is "helping" me fold which makes me want to give up altogether. I'm considering leaving it til tomorrow when the big kids come home and bribing them to do it...
That's ridiculous. I like professional fireworks displays. But I don't care for random yahoos blowing them off in the street.
I am an anti-minivan person myself. I got a Honda Pilot. No minivan in my future!! :-)
Like Harriet, I do get satisfaction from those who were so anti-minivan then came over to the other side. I love mine! I can't imagine going anywhere without it.
My kids watch a lot of television, to the point I think if I admitted the number people here would keel over. Conversely, we do a lot of things outside the home, we have a lot of play dates, and do a lot of extracurriculars.
I feel like it kind of balances itself out.
I spent the day at the pool working on my tan, drinking beer and hanging out. Came home and decided to order dinner
Going to try to pick up the house real quick before the hubby gets home.
#1: Fitting with the popular "do you wear PJs all day" thread...I am almost always showered and dressed by 10. I got dressed today (well, in yoga pants, a bra and fitting tank at least--we were staying in) and then when DD went down for her nap, I got back in my PJs, sans bra. My excuse is that I got a nasty sun burn on my shoulders/chest and nothing but a big cotton tee shirt is comfy. It itches and stings.
Plus, I have to get dressed up nice in a few hours for a date so might as well be comfy now.
#2: Jokes/posts in which SAHMs refer to their child/ren as their boss irritate me.
DD2: Lucia (Lucy) 07/13
That would seriously piss me off.
Hey, wagons are the bomb. I've had an Audi Allroad for seven years, and it rocks. My problem with it now is that it's just too darn small...three rows would definitely come in handy now that the kids are older, because I'm pretty much out when it comes to carpooling. But I've loved it for a lot of years. Nice back seat for the boys, great cargo area for the dog or groceries.
Ditto. I have been actively (but passive-aggressively) avoiding going to see her for a variety of reasons, the biggest being that she always has something to say about how I parent my children. It usually pertains to me being too protective or too responsive to them. Maybe if I started voicing my opinions about her parenting, she would stop bugging me to come and visit?
