I took a quick look at the 2nd tri board and there's a poll asking if your partner is planning to have a "dadchelor" party. I didn't even open the thread....just, no. WTF is that all about? Please tell me nobody actually does that...

Look at the OP. It's from The Bump. WTF is right. This is another way The Bump tries to suggest dumb ideas to new moms to create profit off this industry. On another board, they ask about "Grandmother showers."

NO NO NO NO NO!

Co-ed showers are great, but don't push this fake idea of Dadchelor parties. This is stupid.

freegiraffe · July 2014

I want to do a coed shower. We went to a friend's recently and it was basically just a regular party with food and drinks for everyone and no gift opening or games. I'm ok with games, but I hate opening gifts in front of people.

Wow.. DH that sounds like such an old wives tale. However, ive been told craving ice means an iron deficiency. Id check it out.

my dr told me this as well

Lol!! I made my DH read what you guys think !!

@mandamoochie‌ Yikess I didn't know about that bit! I shall look into it. Thanks

pitdigger · July 2014

I got nothing today. I'm going to a core and strength class tonight that has been seriously kicking my ass the past couple of weeks and then I'm at the gym again tomorrow night because it's a 4-day holiday weekend here. I really want to chill and not do much, but DH is all 'let's sort of relive our trip to Curacao last year by making all of the Dutch food and swimming/snorkelling!' I hope to manage some sort of compromise. And I have to figure out how to make bitterballen.

On the subject of showers, I'm reasonably sure I won't be having one. They're not really much of a thing here and I'll be home in November for a few days, but that's it. I'm not necessarily disappointed with this set of events.

My mom craved ice with all 6 of her pregnancies and each time she started craving ice she was told she was iron deficient. Easily bruising is another sign of iron deficiency.

Waterfalls by TLC is totally normal lunch time jams for a 1 year old... right?

bhjones1980 · July 2014

I am in a ragey mood at work today, and am contemplating stirring up some drama.

there is an employee here who is less than stellar, she calls out sick usually once a week, or just shows up late, never does her job, lies about things, etc. and her boss covers for her (her boss has issues of her own).

anyways this employee is going on a short business trip next week (she never travels) to attend one of our educational events, other staff are going and staying 3 days longer since they are actually WORKING the event not just attending the class.

she is being given a COMP day for this short trip, I just asked the other three employees we sent over the years to previous classes and NONE of them got one when they went.

I found out when her boss (who is a very underhanded sneaky person) came in my office this morning asking if I was asking for a COMP day for my business trip next week (unrelated trip), and I said no, since I never get comp days unless I am working for like 2 weeks straight on the road (and then I usually only get them since MY boss, the CEO is with me and he wants one too).

I told her I wasn't asking for one and she is pushing me to ask, obviously so it makes it look better that the bad employee is getting one.

I am usually "live and let live" around here, but the special treatment that this bad employee gets is beyond me (or anyone else who works in our small office), what she gets away with in insane. I think she knows where my boss "hid a body" or something.

So I'm sitting here lurking first trimester. Was reading the young and teen moms thread and how everyone over 19 was like I'm old, old mom here.

I'm 23 I don't feel like an old mom. Does anyone else? But anyways it made me realize I will turn 24 pretty much if this baby is on time exactly one day after LO's born. Which is really funny because when Dh and I first got serious I told him if I don't have a baby before I'm 24 then I'm just not going to have anymore and DD will be my only child.

Well he got this one in at a perfect time lol

MommyOfAMiracle · July 2014

We are doing seperate showers. I'll have mine and DH is having a "beer and diaper party". His friends just bring beer and a box of diapers. (Not as exciting as sitting in diapers, I guess). But they'll BBQ and drink. I wanted a coed shower but there would be too many people and not enough room to make it happen.

CatLadyTX · July 2014

My shower for DS was co-ed. We had it at my dad's house, which is a split level. The guys hung out downstairs while the ladies were upstairs playing games and chatting. It wasn't originally intended to be like that, but DH's BFF (DS's God Father) kind of took over planning my shower from my friend (the God Mother) and he is a very over the top kind of guy. It actually ended up being a lot of fun. The only person who complained about it was my husband, who didn't want to be there at all.

My spam for the day: I was having a great morning. I went to work for a my whopping 2 hour shift, then took my son to an indoor playground with play group. I picked up Popeye's for lunch *YUM* and put the kiddo down for nap with no fighting! I knew my husband wanted me to go over his paper for class before he turned it in tonight, so I sat down to open it up, figuring it would be a quick 4 or 5 pages and then I could take my nap. No. It is 26 f-ing pages. 26! Apparently, it was a group paper and he really wants me to go over everybody's work. There goes my nap.

Thank you!! And here I just knew I would get my ass super flamed for this one. I had a few ideas for what I wanted for a shower but my mom and friend have totally taken it to a new level. Im really excited and looking forward to it. Even when I mention some stuff to DH, he is pretty exited too. I wanted to make the shower something that DH wanted to attend.

We BOTH have been through a lot to get to this point, and not only do I want to celebrate the baby, but I want DH to feel included and celebrated as well.

I love the idea of a co-ed shower! We didn't have a shower for our daughter because we knew how sick she was. My husband came to the shower for our son because we went through the hell of our daughter's diagnosis, continued bad news, and in the end, her loss, together. Our son wasn't just my baby. I wanted him to be able to celebrate also. I think he would've been a little more excited about it if it was more of a party than sitting around opening presents and playing silly games. I hate wedding/baby shower games.

@psychobutthead‌ I think in the thread you are referring to, people were just responding to the original poster's definition of a "young mom" as also a teen mom. So no, at 23 you are obviously not "old" nor do I think anyone was saying that. That girl was asking to connect with other teen moms, so the posters were offering support, though clarifying they are older than her.

Some of the moms posted their ages along with saying "I`m old so Im not who you want to talk to". I didnt think they were old or really anything of their ages other than i guess anyone not a teenager is old and too old to post there.

I dont know why im being giving an explanation on something i read for myself. I asked if anyone else feels old. Not because I`m 23 but because most of us here aren`t in our teens.

dreemkin84 · July 2014

To clear up the adult diaper wearing thing, they didn't actually go in them. It was just where their boyish minds went when they heard "diaper party" and thought it'd be funny. They are silly. I guess they did discover that one could hold a can of beer lol.

Again, boys X_X

psychobutthead · July 2014

I know so why does this keep being explained to me? I wasn`t complaining about what I read just mentioning it.

clayjackson10 · July 2014

It's 2014. Are doorbells really a necessity? I've known ahead of time about every person coming to my house (that I invited over or WANTED to see) since at least 2000. If you ring my doorbell you're either:

1. Trying to sell me something I don't want.
2. Under the age of 10 asking to walk my nearly 150lb. dog.... ***I've decided these children and their parents MUST be bat shit crazy.***
3. Asking another question related to my dogs breed or size or temperament etc. because you've been creepily watching her over the fence of the backyard. (Side note, if she is nice do you think I would be stupid enough to tell you that? She's a better security system then the sensors on every door and window of our home).
4. Asking for money for fundraisers or services etc. which I will also say no to.

The moral of the story:
After it has rang 7 times in the last two days all during a 3 hour time span (combined) that I've been extremely sick and trying to nap... The doorbell has now been ripped out of the wall and deposited in the trash can.
Blame it on pregnancy hormones? Maybe...but I'm blaming the son of a bitch who invented the fucking doorbell.
Rant over.

ETA: Obviously I know that in the case of a neighborhood emergency a doorbell COULD be important, but REALLY..... 7 times between the hours of 12:30-2:30pm both yesterday and today.

Be glad you got rid of it now. It would have rang inevitability when your baby was napping and I dont know about your dog, but as much as we've tried to train ours still barks at the doorbell making it double fun.

I put out a sign that says "no knocking or ringing, baby's sleeping". That usually works. It might help that I tape the sign over the doorbell.

@CatLadyTX OF COURSE!!! My husband bought $94 worth of girl scout cookies this year (I think it was 20 something boxes), We buy from friends AND from the cutie pies selling outside of Kroger every year! Plus my sorority in college did at least 4 philanthropy events with girls scouts every year! No matter what I do I can never escape the Girl Scouts...

psychobutthead · July 2014

so I need some opinions.

i have no idea what to buy DD for the new school year. I got her supplies, she doesnt need a new bookbag, or new sneakers, socks, or underwear.

i was thinking of getting her this
5 pairs of jeans
6 to 7 tees or tops
2 to 3 dresses
new dress shoes

sound like a reasonable list? i dont want to buy too much because i know when december hits it wont fit.
and she needs some clothes to start with since most her summer wardrobe is now too small.
did miss anything? other than all that she needs a new winter coat which won` t be avaible for awhile.

CatLadyTX · July 2014

@psychobutthead, What about buying it a size up? She may need to wear a belt with her pants, but she will let a longer wear out of it.
