TUESDAY talk

AlinnJo · December 2014

My dad backed my new car into a landscape post this summer. I know The seat was vibrating and the camerara showed it and everything but he still hit it. Thankfully it hit the bumper and we can get it fixed easily. But our dumb body work guy just keeps telling me to call back instead of making me an appointment.

@PenelopePond‌ We are going to Cape Coral. I've never been there and I'm excited for the sun, warm weather and pool!!

@AKB090609‌ Sorry/congratulations!! My DH travels a lot and it can be really tough but it's also great sometimes. Bad TV and all the snacks when the kids are in bed. I fill my DVR when he's about to leave.

Thanks, I think I will be a lot more excited once we get this baby to sleep thru the night and my eavnings are spent with Netflix and my nights starfishing in bed!

AlinnJo · December 2014

@AKB090609‌ congrats on him getting a new job but wow that's a lot of travel! I think my H works a lot but he's at least home every night. Hopefully the baby starts sleeping more for you and you have some help so you get a break too. And I like @jenndub‌ 's idea. Hopefully you can enjoy some peaceful nights of watching some trashy tv!!

For you makeup smart people, does liquid foundation always show every line, pore, and hair on your face? I got some Clinique acne stuff. I spent a dumb amount on it and a brush. I hate it. I'm hoping I'm doing it wrong.

Usually it's best to put a primer on your face first. It helps fill in the lines and then let's the makeup do its job. I use bare minerals primer.

I would do apps and dips, fingery foods. Enough to be a lunch, but not such a formal sit-down thing.

I thought I had skirted my supplement-selling neighbor because I was unable to go to her big opening party. She can see my car home the past two days, and so she's called me in the middle of the day. I know I need to answer and just tell her I'm not interested. I thought I pretty much did that last time, but I guess she's not taking a fucking hint I wish she would take a hint, but I know I need to grow some balls. I feel a little claustrophobic that she can see in my house.

I still can't understand who's going to try to sell supplements to a pregnant person. It just seems like a d-bag move.

@Tinyhumantoe, just print this little blip out and hang it on your door, her door, your car, whatever....

If she doesn't get the hint... then we know she really is an idiot

I always use liquid, so I would say no. I wonder if it's too drying for your skin.

It could be that it's too heavy of a formula. Especially if it's for acne, it's probably made more like pancake makeup, so it will definitely be a little more cakey. :-( Sorry @penelopepond.

While trying to back out of the garage this morning, with H parked halfway behind me, I scraped the front of my car along the side of the garage.

Seriously guys, the level of exhaustion is ridiculous.

I backed into DH's car last week. I have a rear camera and sensors. It was going off like crazy, bang. I have no excuse either.

I know this isn't funny, especially because it just happened, but I actually did laugh out loud reading this. :-(

I'm sure it just happened so quick that your brain didn't process it in time, but I'm picturing your car lighting up and beeping and you just ignoring it. That's why it's funny. In real life, it was probalby not nearly as amusing.

He was in the car with me. I was like "oh shit" and he just laughed and said "At least you got him as good as he got you" (Homer Simpson line from when he hit Marge's car). He backed into my previous car a couple years ago so we are even.

His skate ramp triggers my sensor a lot so I just thought it was that. So really, it is his fault.

Thank you to whomever (did I use whom right?) suggest the gift exchange be a sock exchange. This is/was fun!

I believe it was @hmp1. She has the best ideas!!

And, @jenndub, I'm not usually one for drama (which is a lie because I do love drama as long as I am a bystander) but I am quite curious as to who it is.......

MarisaKathleen · December 2014

@MelsaX, hugs. :-( You're not a bad friend.

No matter if you're on meds or not, some days are just going to suck & be harder than others. Don't beat yourself up about it.

Man, this was a long ass thread for S12! I can't even remember everything I read. Guys, I am so pissed off with myself. I let my anxiety get the better of me on Saturday, and decided not to go to a good friends engagement party because I didn't want to face people I went to uni with. Well, she got married, it was a surprise. Now I feel terrible. Worst friend ever right here. Does anyone else find that even though they are on meds some days are still so, so bad?

Hugs @MelsaX, I can't even imagine dealing with PPD on top of all the other daily life struggles. :-( You had no way of knowing this was going to be a surprise wedding. Don't beat yourself up. Suffering from anxiety does not in any way may you a bad friend. I hope you soon find you have more good days than bad.

I can't imagine telling Nancy she can't have any of her disgusting fruit snacks. She'd probably die from disappointment.

I buy the Annie's bunny ones. They taste like ick to me, but she loves them. She gets one every day on the way home from the sitter's. She calls them car fruits. :-)

They're bunny snacks at our house because they started out as Annie's but then I got cheap and started buying the Mott's version.

So, DH got a new job yesterday, and as happy and excited as I am for him to be making more money/moving up I'm not looking forward to the changes it is already bringing. He got the job at 10am yesterday came home and told me he needs to go to three states in the first two weeks of January and 3 weeks in Asia by the end of February.

Also my 2 year old has been crying ALL day she can't tell me what's wrong, so I gave her meds she's still crying and all I want to do is take a nap.

Oof that's rough. Will he always have to be traveling a lot, or just a couple months a year?

I hope your DD feels better. Any chance she'll lay down with you?

It will be more travel in general, but the next 3-6 months will be the most for a while, then he says he will keep it to 1 week per month, with Asia twice a year and Europe 4-6 times a year everything else will be in the U.S. and Canada.

I got her up to see if she wanted to snuggle, now she's not crying she just wants to hug her red bowl, kids are weird...

@MelsaX you are not a shitty friend. Some days are hard even without PPD. I know sometimes I feel like I can't keep it together. You had no way of knowing. Chin up! You're a great friend!

Warning: bitch about DH's embarrassing family ahead.

We went to a native wildlife reserve with DH's family on Sunday. It was his siblings, parents, grandfather and his girlfriend, and his aunty and uncle.
I cannot stand his aunty and uncle. They annoy the ever loving shit out of me. They baby talk my kids, and it drives me up the wall.
Anyway, his uncle was wearing crocs. Crocs and white tube socks, with shirts above his knees and a fleece vest. He carried his tablet and took photos of birds using that. I kept trying to walk ahead, or behind him, but he was always there.
Then I was squatting down petting a Takahe (native flightless bird, endangered as hell, so beautiful though) I stood up, and he was literally right behind me. My ass grazed his crotch as I stood up. Ergh.

I can't stop laughing. I'm sorry, I'm sure it was horrible. But the idea of you grinding on a guy wearing crocs and tube socks is hilarious. He's probably going to start trying to hang out more now. You tease.

Just think of the miles. That is always a nice perk of the traveling husband.

willy_gert · December 2014

@melsax I am sorry that you are struggling! PPD/A is so hard to deal with any time, but I think holidays make it harder. You absolutely are not a bad friend and had no way of knowing it was going to be their wedding. {{Big internet stranger hugs}}

MarisaKathleen · December 2014

I couldn't figure out what drama everyone was talking about so I clicked through each damn thread. Good thing I'm super busy at work this week...

@PenelopePond, you little rabble-rouser! Thanks for spicing up the board today. :-)

I think I'm being shunned or something by the MoMs club I'm a part of. I hosted a cookie exchange and decorating playgroup this morning. Only one person came (it's very rare to have less than 4 participants). She's part of the club leadership and asked a lot of questions, like odd, researching about me questions. She didn't even want to exchange cookies with me! I stayed up late last night making 3 different kinds!

The holiday party was last week and I didn't attend (not what how I wanted to spend my Friday night). She referenced everyone talking about my playgroup during it.

I'm so weirded out. She gave a lot of unsolicited advice on the kids too. Ugh, so not a good time.
I'm really trying with this group, but I'm pretty sure we're not clicking.

You guys would totally come to my playgroup right? Who turns down cookies?

I'd come even without the cookies.

@harti09, Luci and I would totally come to your playgroup! I just don't understand why people act like that!?!?! And people wonder why it is so hard for moms to make friends!

Um, that's beyond weird on her part. And yes, I'd come, eat all the cookies and pretty sure we'd have an awesome time. Since when did moms groups become so exclusive?

Yes I would come to your playgroup. 1. I've never turned down free cookies. 2. They do not sound pleasant or friend-worthy.

WTH? What kind of "advice" was she giving you?! And why were people talking about your playgroup at the party? Have you been a part of this group long?

I'd say call it a loss and try to find another one.

PenelopePond · December 2014

My Macy's cart is full of makeup now

) Thanks ladies! Too bad you can't make commission.

Melsa- you seriously look like Super Mom on IG. You make incredible desserts all the time, your kids are effing adorable and happy, you're crafty, and you're lucky you're so far away or else most of us would be stalking you like DJT. You're far from a bad friend. PPD sucks, and taking meds suck. Hugs to you. I hope you feel better soon. Also, the butt on crotch sounds super uncomfortable. Related-ish...DH's uncle is super creepy. I'm pretty sure he also has an outfit like your guy. One day I went to give him a hug, but he wasn't going for a hug, and it turned into this awkward thing. At some point my boob touched his arm. He said "Ooh, I always knew you wanted your breasts against me." :-&

AKB090609 · December 2014

@harti09 I'd come to your playgroup even if you were going to make me clean toilets, you are an amazing mom and your kids make me smile every time I see them on IG.

AlinnJo · December 2014

@harti09‌ I'm with all the others. I'd come to hang out with or with out cookies. Those moms are just jealous at how good you looked in that white dress!!!

Bighair12 · December 2014

@harti09 why are women so mean? and judgy? I would definitely find a new group. With less bitch involved.

MrsKipper · December 2014

@harti09‌ ugh, that's so frustrating. Why can't people just hang out and be normal?!! We all need friends, let's just all be non-judgy and non-sketchy towards each other!!

Um, that breaks my heart a little. You know we'd all be there. Cookies or no cookies. I'd kill for some mom friends by me to hang out with and have fun. You're doing an awesome job with your two. I'm not sure what kind of advice you'd need, unless you specifically asked for some. If there were other groups in your area I'd start looking. Chances are there are some other perfectly normal, cool people that this group didn't click with either.

jenndub · December 2014

@harti09‌ They suck and you're cool. And it is so rude to give parenting advice if no one asked for it. We're all doing the best we can here, having toddlers is hard. Mom groups are supposed to make your life easier, not make you feel bad about yourself. Let's go toilet paper that bitch's house! If we ever start our S12 commune, our second order of business (first is getting drunk and having a dance party) will be tping and egging our enemies' (MILs included) houses.

kelbel527 · December 2014

The holidays are very bad for my productivity. I just want to go home and bake cookies with my kiddos and dream about the much larger kitchen I will have next year for holiday baking.

After this week, I'm only working 2 days the rest of the month (until the 5th actually) - but I'm already mentally checking out. And since I just finished my last big budget meeting for the year, there's nothing super critical right now.

@AlinnJo beat me to it.... but that doesn't make it any less true

tinyhumantoe · December 2014

I laughed a lot reading this

And I needed that!

I just don't think I could get along with other moms. It's sad. I have zero interest in a mom's group. Look, I did my first play date with W and now the biatch is trying to sell me supplements.

Everyone on here, on the other hand, I would hang out in a mom's group with in a heartbeat. And a wine-night group. And do any of you bitches play euchre? I'd also have a euchre club.

Want a personalized experience?
