When people say age doesn't matter in relationships I tend to disagree. BIL is 30 and his gf is 47. It's weird. Age differences can be weird. It's not just a number.

Agreed. It's different for every person. But I feel if you're in vastly different stages of life, it's going to be harder to connect.

My cousin from the hick side of my family is getting married this summer. FFFC? My mom and I are looking forward to being catty about all the tacky shit at the wedding.

Oh, hell, we're already being catty about the tacky invitations.
When DH's ex wife got remarried the guys carried shotguns, they had a donkey wearing a veil walk down the "aisle" and she wore a crown of artificial flowers on her head. It was like watching an episode of Honey Boo Boo.
Is this the same woman you referenced going to Kleinfelds? If so, talk about total opposite ends of the spectrum.

oh gosh no. DH was married for around 5 minutes while he was in the military. He got divorced at I think 23? 24? somewhere in there and this was his ex-wife's 2nd wedding.

The Kleinfeld's bride is my high school boyfriend's wife. They live in Boston, he went to MIT and they have money. :-)

We are doing a garage sale tomorrow, there will be 60+ In our neighborhood . I intend to help price and set up then I'm taking the kid and going to look at other sales or work on crap in the house, I refuse to work my own sale.

My parents were 14 years apart...it didn't seem weird to me since my Dad always looked really young. It got weird at Christmas when my BIL said something to the tune of my Dad robbing the cradle. Especially since we do all holidays and vacations together with my Dad's first wife. Similarly, when I was 22, I dated someone 32. It was weird. Even though I (thought) was a more mature 22, it was still a big difference.

My FFFC: This morning on the news they were making a big deal about how the script from today or yesterday's airing of "The View" was being donated to The Smithsonian because Barbara Walters is retiring. I think The View is complete drivel and get embarrassed for people when I hear them talking about it as a "news" show, yet if I'm off on a random day, I almost always turn it on for a few minutes so I can yell at the TV.

The View is not news. Neither is a lot of stuff people give that level of credence to.

There are a couple people around here that I don't recognize. I thought maybe it was a name change thing but it's been a while and I still can't figure out who they are.

Who?
--- Uh...uhm...I'll get back to you. ETA: RivaJam, DianeD (?), PACgirl##, GEM###. I'm sure I butchered their SNs.

RivaJam's been around awhile (off and on). I recognize DianeD's name. The others, I'm not sure.

I was just on Ebates checking out the list of stores they are offering 15% back on. I clicked on "Adam and Eve." Never heard of it. I'm sure some of you know it's an adult toy website. Yeah, that was awkward at work. Of course I try to hit the "X" to get out and it wouldn't close right away.

I think they certainly can be weird. I think it depends on the couple. DH is 14 years older than I am. It was never an issue for us.

I have been seriously judging my DH who is a newfound NBA fan since the Wizards have been in the playoffs. He has not watched 1 NBA game willingly in the 13 years we have been together.

He even bought a frickin' Wizards shirt! Ugh.

This makes me lol!! My DH appreciates any NBA fan so he'll welcome him to the "club"!

My house was a clusterfuck this morning. Becks tripped and crashed into his dresser, bloody nose. Then Sawyer pulled her diaper off and peed on a pillow she had taken off the couch. I dropped a full bowl of cereal and the damn thing shattered. And exploded milk and Lucky Charms all over the place. After cleaning up everything and being way behind because of all the chaos, I didn't have time for breakfast. I am now at my desk at work eating a bag of Doritos and drinking a Dr. Pepper.

Some snatch that works on my floor walked by and said,"Oh, that's healthy for the baby." I got up and closed my door in her face without saying anything. I may need to start this day over.

LOL, sorry she was such a bitch, but the door in her face cracked me up. Hope your evening at home goes more smoothly than your morning!

I just can't get it up for my other BMB. Everyone is so puppies and rainbows over there. And I feel like I don't care as much about their opinions. I think it's because I "know" you guys. So your opinions, successes, stories and problems matter to me. I'm sure over time I will bond with sone of the O14 ladies as well, I just haven't really yet.

Ya, but October is setting up all the funding for the new year. I figure it will be the perfect opportunity for the new girl to do her thing! ha.

There surely should be a acknowledge button as well a like button.

I don't post my own threads very often because there are certain people that will not even open the thread because it is me. I like the chit chat threads because just maybe they will be read and commented on.

My FB is literally just toddler spam for my MIL. I'm THAT mom and It's kind of embarrassing. Totally worth it, but embarrassing.

Mine is pretty much all kid pictures. Whatever, that's my life. They can unfriend me, I don't care. My kids are cute.

So uncomfortable. A girl I played soccer with became a military wife right out of HS. Their relationship was fabulous for the 4 years he was either deployed or away at training 90% of the time. Once he was "in the picture" she started posting all of these crazy things about him lying, and cheating (oh, and she was pregnant), but the next day would be all "Oh I love my boo!"

And then she posted about bruises he had left on her body, and how she wasn't going to stand for it.

...but posted a bunch of pictures of them together a couple of weeks later.

This went back and forth for awhile...thankfully she finally left him (though still posts about the whole situation). I don't even know how to respond to those kind of posts. Gah.

I really need some friends. I have one good friend which is great but our schedules don't always match up to do stuff. DH is anti social he doesn't like doing things on weekends. I'd really love someone in the same boat that would want to make plans or something. I am just not good at making friends.

MarisaKathleen · May 2014

My SIL didn't BF either of her kids. She claims she tried in the hospital and it didn't work, so whatever. That's fine. Now other SIL's kid has refulx and all the one SIL does is post shit to her FB about why she should switch to formula, especially soy. It really makes me mad, even though I'm pro do what you want. She really wants to BF for at least 6mo, if not a whole year.

My advice was "why don't you go back to the pedi and let them know that the Zantac isn't helping." I know I shouldn't get worked up about this, but my one SIL makes me fricking crazy.

I have another confession- brought to you by the wide world of FB. Maybe it's a UO, I don't know.
If you are having relationship troubles, (i.e. you are single because you broke up a year ago, he cheated on you and you both have moved on) I think that you should not keep posting about how much you miss them, or posting passive aggressive memes that talk about you being treated wrong or how you think you will never love again. I am sorry, sometimes love hurts, but the more you post about being in love with someone who doesn't love you, the more I ignore your posts. I can be understanding and sympathetic for so long, but you have to TRY to move on, not marinate in the misery. Gourd I am a bitch.

You aren't a bitch. You are normal.

My one sister, who is super dramatic is a FB whore of all FB whores. She posts anything and everything she possibly can. My DH had to hide her because he kept commenting inappropriate, rude things when really he should have just scrolled on.

Recently her BF broke up with her, which was inevitable, and the whole FB land of hers heard all about it. They got back together last night. "All is well in the world. Love is in the air

" is what I woke up to this morning. That has to be confusing. Also, I see the future and there will be another break up between them.

Move to Corpus, yo. My DH is the exact same way, it drives me crazy and Indy is already asking me to please stop talking and focus.

Make It cool down and TX would be on my list of states I'd move to. My uncle has a business in Corpus. I could probably get a job.

My husband wants to pick up and move. I don't think I could. Especially not with young kids. And he doesn't want to move anywhere where we know someone.

BeebopandBuddy · May 2014

I love the idea of just picking up and moving somewhere new. I did it once when I moved from TX to NY and again when I moved from NY to PA. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I like new places and the idea of a fresh start.

I frigging wish we could do this. I think now, with a young kid (or kids) is the BEST time. I would love to go somewhere where I know nobody, and just have a clean slate.

I can't. I need the village to help me with kids. MIL has been essential. I want my kids to grow up with grandparents around. I like being rooted. I love (mostly) where I live. I just don't think I could.

I'm in a few fb mom groups. My neighbor is a sahm. I'm not in any groups that meet weekly. I just don't seem to make connections.

miss50 · May 2014

@kellerprag, I am irrationally excited that one day I will come out your way again. My mom use to work at an installation near Cherry Hill and has friends that still live there and PA. I'm thinking at lease we can have lunch. Of course you wouldn't have an option and it would have to be Cheesecake Factory or Prospectors.

Amen. No one needs to be in your relationship except you and your SO. It's extra awkward when someone posts nasty stuff about an ex, friends pile on and then they end up back together.

I guess I have no qualms because other than my old father, and old grandmother, we have no family. Nobody helps us. And I can keep up with them the same as before... I don't see either one as often as I should anyway.

OMG you know Prospector's?! I used to go line dancing there 3 times a week pre-baby.

I'm excited for you to come out this way, too!

I have a friend who posts "warnings" to her H (for lack of better word)about their relationship and how unhappy she is during the week, and then on weekends how much she loves him and how happy she is. I get so confused.

Ugh, I'd have to hide her. That's just wrong.

Yeah, no one helps us either. I honestly think that it would be the same even if we did live near family. I'm sure they would babysit once in a while but I don't think things would be very different on a day-to-day basis.

redneckmomma25 · May 2014

They don't help on a day to day basis and I could do it without help. I don't want to. I have never had a close family. I love that about my IL's. They are a family that I didn't have. I love my family but we aren't close. I want G to have what I didn't have.

MarisaKathleen · May 2014

My favorite FB thing is the single girls I have on my feed who post things like engagement rings with the caption "someday!" or they tag their SO with a "hint hint!!"

Uh...You've been together 9 years. You have a house, you have a kid. He's not going to marry you. And if he does, he's probably not shelling out $15K for that Tacori ring you just plastered on FB.

redneckmomma25 · May 2014

There's not much that I am bothered by on fb....Sil was annoying towards the end of her pg...and when they post anti vacc stuff. Other than that nothing annoys me really.

That is just humiliating. If I'm single and desperately waiting to get engaged, I don't want everyone to know how desperate I am.
