Another reasonable time to rehome a pet is military service. My parents got their first dog from friends who were re stationed to England. The puppy was 6 months old and would have to be in quarantine for 6 weeks if they took her. My parents took her instead and we had her for 16 years. Best dog ever!
I disagree. I know several people with dogs that were restationed to Japan and Guam, where a several month quarantine is required and housing may or may not allow dogs. They know that going overseas is a possibility, so deciding not to go through the process because it's a pain isn't an excuse. You wouldn't leave your children behind because there's extra paperwork, physicals and vaccines required.
Single military folks getting rid of pets because they're deployed/going overseas I feel should never have gotten a pet without having a plan for the inevitable, like having them temporarily stay with friends or family.
DD1: June '16 DD2: March ‘19 :::: Married since 2011 :::: USN Wife ::::
Lame confession: frequently I want to respond to posts based off of the title. Like the guess the sex post where the title says "boy or girl??!?" I just want to say "yes"
So much yes to this. I always have snarky responses in my head.
"Should I find a new doctor?" "Who the hell cares?!?"
I fart so much lately. My DD thinks it's the dog half the time and I just go along with her. She will hear it and get this surprised look and say "excuse you, Stevie!!" And I just say "yea, excuse you!" Poor dog...
@DeePaddy24 - SO MUCH THIS. I miss wine so badly I could cry (ok, ok, I have cried over it). One friend of mine who I thought would commiserate told me she got so turned off by the smell of wine during pregnancy that she didn't miss it at all. I love her but I wanted to punch her when she told me that.

You're right you wouldn't leave a child behind, but the child is just required to get a few shots. But keeping a puppy in a box at a vet for 6 weeks (quarantine was not at their home), they thought was cruel. The puppy was taken in by my parents who are their good friends. This was also 32 years ago. Maybe I'm more ok with this particular situation because it's how we got the dog and I adored her.
I too have been having a lot of fart attacks lately. DH is grossed out by it (I do go to an effort not to do it around him simply bc I think that's gross) but I mean, if it happens it happens.How come he does it all the time and I don't even bat an eyelash? Yet when I'm going to the bathroom and have a fart attack, he is like "SHUT THE DOOR THAT'S DISGUSTING!!!!!!"
Im seriously considering investing in a dildo because I'm becoming increasingly self conscious about my appearance during sex. If anyone has any recommendations lemme know.
Well, I just turn the lights off
But mine just died, so I too am in the market for one....
Living social and groupon general you can get a good deal!
@DeePaddy24 and others... I'm definitely with you on the wine. I usually only complain to DH because I feel like I shouldn't miss it that much. Like, obviously the baby is so worth it, but sometimes it just smells soooooooo good and I have more stressful things going on and reasons to drink now than ever!
We have lots of scientist and researcher women on here right? Can someone please start some research to find a way to prevent alcohol from being passed to the baby? I'd support that Gofundme campain fo' sho.
@DeePaddy24 - Me too! I haven't found an acceptable substitute for dealing with work stress either so now instead of winding down with a glass of wine, I just go to sleep ridiculously early.
Me too. I guess this is a FFFC - I actually avoid going out to social activities where everyone else is drinking. I'm grumpy that I can't partake and I'd rather be at home in PJs and watching Netflix. I'm a hermit.
We had friends over last Saturday & everyone was drinking. I was so sad. The beer looked good, the wine looked good...& I just sat there bitterly drinking my water. June's soon, right?!
FFFC round two: My H has the day off and I'm stuck here working on paperwork texting him complaining that I have no motivation or focus and that I'm hungry. So when he offers to bring me lunch I selfishly say yes, even though that means driving all the way across town purely to bring me lunch to school.... whoops!
As soon as I got pregnant all of our friends and family joked how H had an automatic sober driver 24/7, which I had no problem with. Fast forward to 6 months later, I'm over it, because it's turned into driving for EVERYONE. Does it make sense for me to drive if someone has had a few beers? Absolutely. But sometimes I just want to sit in the freaking passenger seat instead of driving all the time.
I'm with @CourtJack - lately I'd rather just stay home instead of going out where other people are drinking, because I know I'll end up having to drive. No thanks.

It's soon!!!! And we have the WHOLE summer to enjoy NOT being pregnant. Having both August AND September kids (what was I thinking!?), this brings me immense joy.
Oh my gosh so much agreement with all of these!! I miss wine so much and I have to confess my mom had some the other day and I licked it...like a dog...and I don't feel bad because mouthwash literally has more alcohol than that. I'm sure someone will come on and give me crap about being a terrible mom though!
My FFFC: I'm rarely in the mood for sex but I want H to come on to me. Twice I've sent him pictures of myself in new clothes (I leave before he's awake and change into pj's before he gets home) and he told me I look cute....I'm not a facking toddler!!!!

Gosh. Have you even HEARD of fetal alcohol syndrome.....
Lately, H's compliments have consisted only of "oh my goodness... you look so pregnant" followed by a goofy grin. I know he means nothing but good things but I can't help but want to sock him the mouth every time he says it.

@dennyandlee HAHA! oh man. I was on the phone with a client listening to her gripe about her bill and silently reading and your comment made me laugh so hard. I had to pretend like I sneezed.

Actually laughing out loud enough at this for people to stop by my office and ask "what's so funny?"
Yep, you're welcome. Haha. These absent minded hyper-literal moments are getting more and more frequent for me and they make me giggle, too. AAANNNDDD I have a sick 2nd tri mind, so, yeah.

Ded.
Read this while in Costco...laughed way too loud for the environment. I fucking love this group!
So DH has a friend that I very strongly dislike. He's a bad influence and just not someone that I like around my family. He got this painting for DS's room and my husband thinks it's the best thing ever and wants to put it in his room on the wall.
I've had a lot of talks with DH about how I don't think it's fair for his friend to buy us art for our son's room and expect me to love it and want to put it up. I have a plan for DS's next room and it's not even close to the direction of this painting. I don't want want this painting on my son's wall so I have to look at it every day and think about his friend that I can't stand.
Soooo my flame free Friday, I'm putting up the biggest fuss over not liking this painting, when I really don't all that much dislike it. I dislike what it stands for. I think buying art for someone is rude unless you KNOW it's what they want and where they want to put it.
@MeganF08 and @crdo i know its reasonable but I still miss her and I know she misses DS and myself! Shes the best and with these pregnancy hormones some days I would love to bring her manure smelling self home to cuddle!!
I've been listening to Pandora when I walk the dog, it's my 20-30 minutes of quiet time a day. Ive started to listen to stand up comedy. So I go out alone walk the dog and laugh hysterically. I'm sure my neighbors think I'm insane.
You ladies are making me laugh so hard at work, and when I'm laughing that hard I fart.. The lady right outside my office probably thinks I am insane! I agree with so many things on this thread! -- blaming farts on the dog, not in the mood for sex, NEED wine, and my H is actually trying to gain weight and eat more calories.. it makes me want to barf.
I totally read most of that gestational diabetes/glucose test thread yesterday while eating chocolate chips right out of the bag. My glucose test is in two weeks and I'm so not looking forward to hearing the results. ..
Agree with the cute and so pregnant comments! Seriously, they only thing DH is interested in is my chest. I don't think he finds pregnant ladies attractive, including his wife. For the 273737th time, you won't poke your darling son in the damn head.

Can we trade? Pregnancy seems to be a huuuggeee turn on for H and I just can't keep pace with how often he's been in the mood.
I was just inspired by my FFFC (or maybe this is a UO...). I absolutely HATE men in skinny jeans. It's completely unattractive, even if they're in the best shape of their lives.
