Why so tired lady?

Ugh. I`m with you. I`m in the middle of getting my teaching cert and masters in special ed. I just don't care. I`d much rather be a SAHM, at least until Andrew is in Kindergarten.
Riding the coat tails of Julia.
I always thought it was so stupid for women who went to college to decide to become stay at home moms. What was the point of spending all of that money on college if you're just going to stay home and not use your degree?
BUT
Now that I've had my baby and spent time at home with him I seriously wish I could be a SAHM. Who cares about my degree right now. I just want to spend time with him. I have changed my tune so much over the past few months.

My new neighbors are total hicks and I judge them big time. They have a cat that lives outside. Well, that's not allowed in our neighborhood. Last night I heard it screaming in our backyard and it woke Addie up! Then this morning it was scratching at our door. DH let our dog out to chase it. I'm so sick of it. I think I'm going to be a total passive aggressive biitch and call our association. Plus, the husband just creeps me out. Every time I look at him I cringe.
PS-I judge for many reasons, the cat is just bothering me the most right now.
I completely agree. I would ditch my career in a second to be at home with Addie.
i love art. i have lots of really good artwork. and tons of art books. i dont know sh*t about artwork except that my sister painted me one oil paint on canvas and she did another on a print making machine.
yet still.... every morning while i drink my coffee before the baby gets up... i pour over all of these ridiculously large (think wallpaper books) sized books imagining in my brain where i would hang each work if i lived in a mansion paved in gold.
Sometimes I think Sarah was cuter when she was leaner. She put on weight pretty quickly when we switched to formula and it was almost like she wasn't my baby for a little while. I'm getting used to it now, I think because her weight gain is slowing down, but for a month or two I didn't really like it.
How terrible is that?

My mom and I are going to visit my brother for a four day weekend next weekend. I am so excited but not because I am going to see my new 5 week old niece and 2 year old nephew and not because I am going to have a bit of a break from my two kids.
No, the main reason for my excitement is that my DH will be looking after the kids on his own for four days and I don't think he has a clue what that is going to be like! I am a SAHM and, even though he is wonderful with the kids, he has no idea what it takes to feed them both at the same time, get them ready to go somewhere and then get there on time, etc. I am glad that DS#1 has swimming lessons and nursery school while I'm away so DH can get a true sense of what it is that I do!
Seven days and counting...
I don't know! I feel like all I do is go go go. I work full time go home and take care of baby when baby goes to sleep it is time to do household stuff or spend one on one time with hubby than sleep. Starts all over next day. And, yes, hubby does do plenty of stuff with the baby but we usually do everything together. And I use to have Sunday sleep in days (hubby got Saturday) but he has been working 6 days a week so on Sundays we both kinda get up so I haven't go to catch up in a month or so.
Sounds like you need a relaxing spa day accompanied (sp) by a nice long saturday afternoon nap. H needs to hook you up!!!

Amen to all of this. I am currently a SAHM (not necessarily by choice, originally- I was laid off). Now I enjoy it so much, I want to do it permanently.
ETA: I meant to quote the SAHM posts.
Not so much a confession as it is a revelation.
I had an arranged marriage.
I couldn't add enough of these
to this response. I totally and completely agree.
I have mixed feelings about jenerally's permaban.
H and I were pretty irresponsible this weekend while we were away for our anniversary even though we knew I was going to be O'ing (lots of tequila and a wedding will do that I guess), I am not as worried as I thought I would be about us possibly getting PG, and I have to say that if AF shows up I may be disappointed.
While we are not in a position right now for another baby, I would not be upset if it happened on accident.
cultural?
I'll answer questions, you could start a thread. I'm lazy.
Me too. I am super stoked it happened but super dissappointed she had an AE all lined up. I wouldn't miss that slore!
This is a joke, right?
RIGHT?!

Yup, our familes are South Indian and Muslim, its very common, and most of our friends have also had arranged marriages.
ahh ok, i actually know a few people in arranged marriages. they are very happy with their matches. they were thankful they didn't have to go through the whole dating process. i don't know your situation, but i hope you're happy too. good for you!
I just bought myself some black skinnies yesterday and I lurve them!!!
yes, it's a joke.
Okay. It would have been epic if it wasn't.

(sorry this was way more of an AW than a FFFC...
)
I guess I do have one FFFC....
When I see all the posts about wishing to be a SAHM, I think something is wrong with me. Because I wouldn't want to be a SAHM at all. It's not that I don't think I'd love or could handle it, but I love, love, love my job. Sometimes I get the vibe from posts that maybe you don't care enough about your kid or you care too much about your job that you can't sacrifice it for your kid.
And no, this isn't in reference to any SAHM posts that were made in this thread. Those just got me thinking about my feelings on past discussions and posts.
iho newlywed's fffc:
i have not, nor will ever use, a sex toy. h hasn't and will not either. i don't know if there's something weird about us or what, but at least we're on the same page about it.
