Onederful Mother:

I just confessed this in another thread, but I cook three separate meals each night. One for me, one for my picky husband and one for my picky toddler. 

You are a saint.
I agree. My family is lucky they get one meal out of me. Some nights I say eff it and just feed the baby and make everyone else fend for themselves.

I got the side eye yesterday at work. We were eating cake for a birthday and my coworker says, "I have cooked 3 times this month and I am worn out." My other coworker says, "I cooked 2 times this week." So I didn't say anything at all. They looked at me like they really wanted me to say something. So I say, "I cook 4-5 days a week." They went off. Evidently I am setting the bar too high.

 

I'm dumbfounded by your coworkers. Do they just eat out every night?

I currently smell like a dirty pirate hooker. Like, I can smell myself as I sit here. It's bad and I currently have no motivation to fix it

I don't know. I don't even ask. They think I am stupid for making a hot breakfast for the kids every morning.
One of them, I know her husband cooks. I don't know about the other one.

I'm impressed that you do that. I don't make breakfast during the week. DD1 isn't a big breakfast person and will just have fruit or a bowl of cereal or toaster waffles when I buy them. DD2 gets breakfast at daycare. Also, most days I barely get out the door to make it to work on time.

I picture a dirty pirate hooker to smell something like a bottle of coconut rum and ocean air. If that's what you smell like, I may come sit next to you.
Ha. Yes. Dirty Pirate Hooker Party at Robin's house. I will bring the Captain Morgans.

fanfuckingtastic. Ill break out the coconut bra and grass skirt

I once had bumpie say that using the word "jipped" was insensative to gypsies.

Also autocorrect wanted to turn bumpies into "bum pies"

Ds just eats Cheerios with milk and banana during the week. He's happy, I'm happy. Rock on cooking breakfast, mbenit!

I am fairly certain that is where it originated. 
I was corrected once that gypsies won't buy my child .  That was a bummer.

Well shiit. So much for plan A. On to B, I guess.

I think it's awesome that you do that every morning, and it sounds like they're possibly jealous. 
This and it's always easy to get raised hackles when you yourself feel you are not doing enough for your family. I'd bet it's a combo of feeling less than perfect and being jealous that you had the time/energy/ambition to do it.
Does it count as a hot breakfast if I microwave some frozen pancakes?

Pancakes are breakfast. Microwaves make things hot. I vote yes.

My FFFC is I just made my own lemon sugar scrub and I sampled it. It was tasty.
My friend said she wanted to have a paternity test but she doesn't have the money so I jokingly said to try Maury. I think she is seriously thinking about it.

Your friend sounds trashy

DD is a huge breakfast person. Always has been.

DS is not ready to eat right when he wakes up. He east at daycare too.

Dd1 won't eat eggs so when I do make breakfast she basically just has bacon lol.

Since boob talk came up earlier, I have gone topless at a few beaches in Europe. Hey, I wanted to experience it like the locals were. It was very liberating and I wish Anericans would let go of their prudishness over the body in general. We all have the same parts. They just look different. La dee da.

Yes

Thongs are becoming somewhat more common on the beaches here, although I think many are on tourists. We have a clothing optional beach, but it's mostly old gay men who go there (it's a hassle to get to, which is part of why it's clothing optional).

I'd like to work out more than 3 times a week because my workouts are the only real alone time I get.

Follow-up to my gym cost thread from a couple days ago:

We decided to go for it, mostly for this reason. That and they will have a special to waive the initiation fee after Memorial Day. So the upfront costs are low. I'm hoping DW will work out at least 3 times a week. Really hope DS likes the daycare there! It's not amazing, but looks fun enough for an hour a day, plus I feel like he does need more socializing... he LOVES other kids.

Cab ride w/ masturbation.
This made me throw up in my mouth a little. Mixing masturbation and the super sexy environment of a cab is just... no bueno.

Wait, so it wasn't even a Klassy Limo?

The best I can do for her is a slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter on it. So that is what she eats for dinner 4-5 nights a week, with some sort of fruit thrown in.

Not flaming. I wouldn't be ok with this.

Then don't feed your kid that way. It's better than making food a battle.

Ok, I didn't know it would turn into a battle. So, school me. That is ok for dinner 4-5 times a week?

I think when the alternative means no eating at all, yeah, it's ok.

The whole "if kids are hungry they will eat" is 100% false in my house. DS will go many rounds of not eating before he eats something he doesn't like. It's just not the battle to pick IMO.

Plenty of picky eating toddlers grow up to be normal eating adolescents/teens/adults. I will try very hard not to make food a weird hang-up. I worry about that more than my kid eating peanut butter sandwiches for dinner nightly.

Not even a sandwich. A slice of bread.
Maybe I do too much.

Oh dear lord

What's the variable between good and bad masturbation? I guess I don't watch a lot of porn, and I don't really grade myself.

There's stuff that gets the job done but isn't visually interesting to the viewer. This is a big issue a lot of adult films have and why they are terrible as Sex Ed. Many of the activities and positions that are interesting to view actually aren't the ones which are most enjoyable for the participants.

Haha I responded quoting Acaudill originally, but she kept stopping and getting all embarrassed. Chick just took a diick up the butt, and she's embarrassed over masturbation?
Did you see her on the original 16 and Pregnant? She was all worried and apologetic the hospital staff had to look at her vagina, now she's taking it up the what what for a Mill.

She has grown so much as a person!

FFFC: I waited tables at a strip club for less than a week when I was 22, but they kept pressuring me to strip so I called in with a twisted ankle and never went back. The place sucked too, I love going to strip clubs with H but we would never patronize that place.

If DDs hadn't left my chesticles looking like pancakes, I would totally strip. I love my body. I didn't always. I don't think I would go to nude beaches. Laying around naked in public isn't appealing, but dancing all sexy-like? I'd do it. Especially if I got paid well to do so.

But it would have to be a klassy joint.

We can start our own club together. International House of Pancake Tits.
Can I be your token redhead? I think stripping would be fun. But I dance like a blind white girl. Who will blind you with her whiteness.

Sure. My eyes will be all bruised up from getting smacked in the face by my boobies. Helps to mitigate white blindnesses.

I'll be that chunky stripper who thinks her moves are better than they are.

This conversation made me remember this picture

I agree with Mbenit on the sensitivity thing. I sympathize for people and what their life experiences are, but we all have them and can't expect everyone to treat us with kid gloves.

But its not about being handled with kid gloves. It's about realizing a disease is a serious thing. I don't see people joking that their cat is throwing up so he must have stomach cancer. Not so funny right? But saying he's bulimic or schizophrenic is ok?

It just adds to the stigma of mental disorders being NBD.

And btw, depending on the cancer, the cure rate is better than that of mental disorders.

I felt the same about the raping the banana joke, but tried to brush it off since the prevailing thought seemed to be it was overreacting to be bothered by it.

I'm fortunate that my girls are not super picky eaters (my toddler will actually eat pretty much anything) and therfore cannot fathom having to feed them pb sandwiches (or bread, w/e) for dinner several nights a week. That must suck, and I'm sorry some of you are dealing with that.

F'uck all this chicken nugget hate.
I have never had a chicken nugget in my freezer ever.
I have bought McD's before but never had them in the home.

McD's chicken nuggets are gross. Chick-Fil-A's chicken nuggets are little bites of bliss. There are some excellent homemade versions as well.

We have AppleGate Farms (or sumsuch name) in our freezer. It's organic and 100% pure chicken breast with some gluten free breading. They are delicious.

I also have something called Dr. Praeger's fish sticks. They are delicious and now that I've thought of them I might make them for myself for dinner.

If is it a brand then it isn't a homemade nugget IMO. It is a frozen nugget. I have never had a fish stick in my home.

I think those were independent statements. I.e. "there are some excellent homemade versions" AND "AppleGate Farms, etc etc"

That's great, LD! Seriously, going to the gym, or at least going out for a jog, is what keeps me sane sometimes. I need that time away now. It gives me time to be alone, to think for myself, and burn some calories while I'm at it. It's awesome they have a daycare, too. I'm sure your DS will love it, too!

We are camping this weekend with some friends/acquaintances (which I should be preparing for, but here I am), and although I know we will have a good time, I will kind of miss being around TB for a full weekend. It's pathetic, but I would rather talk to internet strangers sometimes over the people I know IRL.
