Pearls of wisdom *grin*
*tongue in cheek, sorta*
Quite a few women come to our board and seek our wisdom.
I know this can?t be pinned to the top but well I wish it could.
Pearls of wisdom:
Talk to your man, what the problem is doesn?t matter, talk to him. People joke men aren?t good listeners or we are wired differently. Whatever the case sit us down and talk to us, if we are worth keeping we will listen. (I didn?t say do what you want, but hey listening is a start?)
Generally the men on this board aren?t assholes..*peers around*..I think. So if your partner is being one it is going to be hard for us to help and we are generally going to suggest, talking to him, see option one. Option two: getting help and considering leaving. I can?t imagine treating my wife the way some people treat theirs and when I give advice I imagine what I would want someone to say to my wife. I imagine what I would tell my daughter and well I can?t say I would want either to deal with an *** for long.
The upside to the fact most of us aren?t *** is when your partner is being one you can come here and post and we will all ride in on our shiny white horses and agree with you. Feels good I reckon, we aim to please!
Pregnancy sucks for us too but not for the reasons you think. It sucks because you are uncomfortable and we love you. When we are in the mood to be awesome, forgive us for when we are not, we will worry and fret and try to do all we can to make your life easier. It will fail and the mix of hormones and fatigue and the pesky thing called life that happened before all this started will probably cause some bumpy moments. Take a breath and understand however misguided some actions might be we love you. (Trust me, we are taking breaths too.)
One of the frequent questions we get is how you can make us feel special. Just carve out some time for us here and there. As it should be when you are pregnant we are the sidekick. That is fine and we are ok with it, we will think we are bearing with it stoically but odds are we aren?t.
So just carve out a night for us, drag us to whatever we like to do. Half of what we like can be encapsulated in BB&B and BJ?s.
Feel free to add on fella?s and I hope this all taken with a smile and a grin. I really don?t want to have to create a new ID. :P

^This pretty much. I would like to add if you're new to the site and are currently TTC, there is a board for that. If you're new and already pregnant, check out your birth month board. Lurk for a while, intro, and get to know the women who frequent the board. My wife has enjoyed her time on S13 and a lot of her questions and concerns have been answered by the ladies there.
And to all the female lurkers on here...
