Re: --*UO Thursday*--

  • Because I can't (don't feel like?) comment on everything, I'll be brief: Parenting is not a job but SAH definitely is; that make-up comment was douche-y; aliens are cool, I love sci-fi; medium-rare FTW.

    My UO - I hate chick flicks and chick lit. I've never seen a chick movie or read a chick book that I could even come close to liking. I think they're lame.

  • On the topic of book-writing (badass that we have some writers here!!!)...

    FFTC: I have an idea for a horribly smutty erotic romance novel.  I really want to write it, and I feel like it could be an awesome idea... but I'm worried if I start writing it C will judge me lol

    If FSOG got published, seriously, my book idea would blow that out of the water.

     

    Plot it out and participate in NaNoWriMo this year!  Nobody's going to judge you for some well-written smut.

    @Peledreamsofrain, now that I'm reading back I think you might have meant that sci-fi/dystopian YA writers are a dime a dozen, in which case you're right.  But world building is so much fun I can't help myself.  I wear the cone of shame.
    We should create a M15 Nano support group this year!

    My UO: I have never wanted to be a stay at home mom.  Not that I can't, but I just don't want to.


    **stuck in box **

    Same.  I've never had the desire to be a SAHM, even though I love DD to death.  I love working and contributing to my family financially and I feel more productive that way.  It just wouldn't make me happy to be at home and my child deserves a happy mom.  

    My UO: I've never considered being a parent a 'job' per say.  It's absolutely work but I view it more as a choice than a job. 


    I'm sorry, I gotta call you on this. Being a SAHM is absolutely a job. A woman can choose which career she wants (corporate, retail, etc). If her life circumstances and preferences lead her to choose to SAH, it is no less a job with its own challenges and learning curve.

    Also, while I adore staying at home with my children, if I had a choice I'd probably work. My health prevents that. And, some families can't afford child care. So it's not always a choice the way you mean it.

    My apologies, I should have clarified since I lumped it together with the other post.  I said I didn't think being a PARENT was a job.  Being a parent is a choice.
     

     



    And apologies back at you. That was a reading comprehension fail on my part. I'm a little prickly about the SAHM subject. I've seen so many women feel bad or guilty (or put down) for going back to a career when it's what they love, and so many women feel like no one appreciates what they do/how hard they work if they SAH. I wish no one was made to feel badly for either choice. It makes me stably and I guess I didn't read as thoroughly as I should have.

    I can't believe it but I've pooped 3 times this week on my own with no help from colace. Maybe I'm finally not constipated anymore?!

    Have you been getting some good anal action? I hear that's a great cure for constipation ;)

    Wtf, I didn't mean to post this in the UO thread. I'm just drunk, guys. Don't mind me.

    And nooooo we've both never had any interest in back door action lol
