This all I have for today....

I don't think dessert is worth eating if it isn't chocolate.

I think people who purposely start mommy wars relating to working moms or stay at home moms are insecure and looking for validation.

I judge people who can't spell and use bad grammar.

lookame3639 · August 2013

I hate chocolate...i dont like the taste and it hurts my teeth when I eat it.

Lavender P · August 2013

I never thought people like that even existed...

Reality tv? Definitely one of my guilty pleasures!

I like a lot of reality TV too! Mothers and fathers are more than just biology, I think we all agree with that here.

The first one def would have been one of mine. BM just told SD last night that she would always be her mom bc she gave birth to her, not me.

and yes.. reality tv... love it. DH thinks I'm crazy, he's like..we don't have enough crap going on..lol

twitchy4 · August 2013

do you guys watch Big Brother?

sweetwalks · August 2013

I watch Big Brother well, until our provider cancelled and we don't get the channel. Now I guess I need to watch online and catch up

Ginlyn0 · August 2013

I watch Big Brother too.

twitchy4 · August 2013

my darn DVR missed the first half last night, but WOW Amanda came off as extra bitchy last night.

Lavender P · August 2013

My reality t.v. Guilty plesasures are Teen Mom and 16 and pregnant. They are so trashy but I can't look away.

sweetwalks · August 2013

I hope that I can catch up online. I haven't been able to watch since the Veto comp when Aaryn was HOH. I'm pretty ticked off @ CBS and Dish Network right now. I'm also missing Under the Dome.

twitchy4 · August 2013

Ohh I watch Under the Dome too. Just watched Monday's episode last night. I'll not spoil it for you. ;-)

sweetwalks · August 2013

I might be begging you too later if I can't watch online.

Ginlyn0 · August 2013

CBS website has Under the Dome full episodes online (at least the last two) if that helps.

sweetwalks · August 2013

Yes! I just looked it up...I'm half tempted to watch at work. (Shame on me!) such a good book and although totally different story line the show has me hooked.

My sister says the same sh!t, then why is DN scared of you and does not want to come to your house. B!tch please, plus today is his birthday and she does not even know our address. Yippee you gave birth that does not make you Mom.
Isn't this the same lady that only wants the 5 year old. She sucks!!

Yup that would be her. SD's didn't want to go to her house either and when they did want to go they didn't want to stay the night.

HisChamaoleGirl · August 2013

I judge my youngest sister bc after my mother's visit she posted pics online of items for sale. All of my siblings have had babies this year (almost my turn) and I know for a fact what she is selling are gifts from my mom to baby. Yes, they are HERS to make decisions on, but it kills me that my mom breaks her back working and wanted to shower each baby with items and my sister who still hasn't looked for a job is selling the items.

sweetwalks · August 2013

I'd judge too Cham!

I judge people who sell used shoes on Facebook. Come on now!
Or makeup!
Or perfume/body spray!

4luvof2boys · August 2013

I hate ultrasound pics. They seriously gross me out. The new 3D ones remind me of aliens in a sci fi movie. Ewww.

CFjo2010 · August 2013

I am addicted to Real Housewives of Orange County and Beverly Hills. I can't help it. I get a sick flooding of joy when I watch them. Brandi on Beverly Hills (the one whose husband had the affair with Leann Rimes) is such a trainwreck and she's so vulgar and hateful, it makes me grab popcorn. The women on the OC version are so superficial I giggle each time one of them price drops. Seriously, $1000 on a scarf? I told my husband to quit his complaining about my Steve Maddens.

My favorite quote from this week's episode: "Put your penis away, stop acting like a d!ck and maybe people will treat you like a lady". Oh my god, it was epic. It's quite possible that I have used this quote about 27 times since Monday night

;;)

Thank you SO much for saying this today. I just blew up at Dh because my mom wasn't allowed to pick my SS off the bus for summer school because she is not biologically related. Dh was like "well it's good she's looking out for him, I'm glad and I was able to come right away to get him no big deal" and I effing exploded. My mom and I have done MORE raising and rearing and FINANCIALLY supporting than anyone else in my SS's life can claim. That is an effing slap in the face that sure we can pay and raise him but no we can't get him off the bus WITH his biological brother in the car and WITH me being the emergency contact.

I hate our school district x100

Whoa wait what? The SCHOOL District forbids it?

Lavender P · August 2013

@nineoceans, that is beyond ridiculous. I hate that double standard of 'love my kid like your own, pay to raise them, and sacrifice everything for them,' but since you aren't biologically related you aren't really family.

No the nosey idiot driver who knows Bm and also if you've read the back threads allowed my SS to fall out of the bus forbade it. Ugh high blood pressure moment of the day

Seriously!! And I have the higher earning more flexible job so I am the one coordinating this bs. I told Dh I'm done with everything he can deal with it but it will probably mean he will lose his job because he has no flexibility. Oh well we will cross that bridge if it gets to that. I can't let it ruin my day to get upset about it every time

Hopeforthebest · August 2013

The school bus driver forbade it!? Does that person even really HAVE that kind of authority?ESPECIALLY one that let the kid fall out the back of the bus? They are LUCKY to still have a driving job I would think. What BS! I'm sorry you are dealing with that. If your DH told the driver he was okay with it, that should be enough. He is authorizing your mom and he is RELATED.

Nineoceans · August 2013

I'm so glad you guys validated this. I really felt like I might be crazy and Dh is right that its good this person is "looking out" for SS but I think this is more a step versus bio issue. This school tries to shove bio parents trump step at every turn. Again though a school who lets Bm volunteer (and bring her infant during her class volunteer time) is not a school who shares my own personal values. (BM is a walking poster for a heroin user down to her emancipated frame and terrible skin)

People just have this incorrect assumption that Dh and Bm are mom and dad of the year and Dh is a decent dad but I definitely help him out to help him to look good in the eyes of the school. I just then look like the annoying SM who steps in where she isn't needed.

They only know its not Bm's mom bc she works for the school. Anyways yes, crossing caring about this off my list and going to put my emotions and time into something productive for ME. Dh can deal with it.

You definitely don't want him losing his job or it will just make things harder. However, he does need to acknowledge and appreciate all you do. At the very least he needs to support you when you vent about an idiot bus driver. Tell DH he owes you a pedicure for putting up with that BS today.
Its funny because my DH will act like its no big deal to pick up or drop off SS, or any of the other logistics too. Then when the time comes for him to do it there is always a reason, ' I have to work late, etc.' If it is no big deal then you do it!

danac2010 · August 2013

@nineoceans, I had this issue yesterday. After everything with the courts got settled yesterday DH had to go back to court but he wanted SD's shot record because he needed to make sure she is set for school in a few weeks. He called up there and they said you have to come in and fill out a form. He then asked if his wife could do it for him, even if she wasn't on the file. They said yes just show proof that we have SD and that I'm SM. I took marriage certificate, court order showing DH has custody at this time, and my DL. They wouldn't accept any of it because they couldn't verify who I was and that I didn't have any legal rights to the child. I told them that I was married to dad and that dad was granted temp custody so I was covered in this also (we even double checked with the judge and our lawyer this was correct). DH had to leave work early to go fill out the form. I am more of a mom to her than BM but I can't do anything. It's very frustrating. I take that kid to the doctor more than either parent and they know who I am. Just pissed me off yesterday!

lol I have bought used kids shoes off FB many times. I am a member of several "year round garage sale" groups.

Although I normally give mine away after the boys have gone through them. Still a lot of life left in them, but I feel weird reselling them. Plus, maybe it helps a family in need of shoes. We are still talking toddler sizes. I think my 6 year old wears toddler size 9.

Call the bus garage. If they do nothing, go to the school principal. If that does no good take it to the superintendent. Point out that you are the emergency contact and issues you have had.
