I truly like that this community allows us to all speak our mind, share our perspectives and not just blow smoke up each other's a$$es.
I'm the type of person who doesn't mind respectful debate. The key there is to be respectful (and to assume that the person on the other end is doing the same). Because it's just words, it's really easy for us to "hear" tone that might not have been intended.
So if you say something I don't agree with, I'll let you know (and I'll try to be respectful about it). And if I say something you don't agree with, it's fine to (respectfully) call me out too. We don't learn about other perspectives if we aren't open to hearing them. Two people can have different opinions, explain their opinions, and it's not a fight or an issue. It's a conversation.

@MonaLisaRalphio I think your candor is lovely. Look at these lovely people a yahoo article says would share your divergent series family (clearly i read YA fiction)
Last night I had a good sized blump. I'm 12 weeks but looked much bigger. I was finally able to go to the bathroom *hallelujah* and this morning my blump is gone. I am very relieved. My poo blump was getting uncomfortable.
In my experience of being on the TB and around pregnants in real life the ones who are all "OMG my bloat is a bump!11!!!1!" the second the test is dry are the people who are complaining nonstop about how miserable they are and they're so tired of being pregnant by 36 weeks (I am not including people with actual medical issues or problems in this) and it makes me laugh a little bit. Well yeah, you've been acting like you're 30 weeks pregnant forever so of course it feels like it's forever.
I can't wait until my bump gets big enough that my butt looks small by comparison.
I don't mind a new topic thread if it isn't something that has been asked before. If we don't have much going on around here I end up reading other boards, or the train wreck kind of posts on other forums. Or the Glow app.
I am counting down the days until my oldest two go back to school. I want the time I get with my "baby" before this other baby comes along.

@Partyof6? i agree with "end up reading other boards" ...... I find myself being a lurker most days because there just isn't a whole lot going on here. Ok. What's the "glow app"
I have to disagree on wanting school to start though.... My oldest son is going to be a senior and it makes me super sad! I'm also going to miss having my personal "errand runner" aka chipotle go getter here during the day! Ha!
IDK- I see a thread on the board that doesn't interest me, I don't click it. I don't go in for the purpose of telling someone they are delusional (exaggeration intended).
Here's a confession: I didn't know whether to say sole or soul purpose. Pretty sure its sole...
Sometimes I don't, but then when I see a ton of responses I go in and realize I've missed some gems. Plus, I'm nosy AF. Eta: I've always thought it was sole i.e. "My only purpose"
It's "sole." Meaning "one." Same root as "solo."
^ Yeap. Going with this as well.
And holy hell this forum went a lot faster than my phone could handle.
On another note, my phone won't comment/love/quote/anything, so I'm back and forth between my desktop. Lame.
Toothbrush sucking doesn't count as a proper brush? Great. My kid's teeth only get brushed at night as it is. I try to get 10 good seconds in at the end. I guess that counts as my FFFC.
I don't care about blump posts one way or the other. Want to post? Go ahead. Find the post annoying and want to say so? Fire away! I like that communities like this are made up of so many different kinds of personalities. It makes for entertaining lurking when I'm too tired to summon the brain power to post anything myself.
I wear men's deodorant too, @GlitterDragon. It usually works better for cheaper. Stupid pink tax.
And I sometimes pee in the shower. And I have drank straight from the carton on occasion. Basically, I need a frat to pledge.
Also, are we really arguing over the puffiness of our guts? Sigh.
If you wanna cradle your constipation-food babies, more power to you. Something is definitely brewing. I say let's save the pics and posts til second trimester. Which is (!!!) pretty much here for some lucky ducks.
Who seriously doesn't pee in the shower? Anyone who denies it is lying
We have two sleeping beauties in heaven. Jack gained his wings on 09/02/2016. Kali gained her wings on 07/28/2015. They will be forever missed.
@bdesterhouse I don't pee in the shower. My kid takes a bath in the same tub sooo...
I pee in the master shower every time I'm in there.
My kid pees in the bath every night. So keeping his tub clean of pee isn't a huge consideration for me. But I get in his pee-filled bath water for a soak after he's in bed more often than not. So clearly IDGAF because I'm a disgusting human being. Not sorry! I tell myself it's good for my skin.
Probably gonna get a little flamed here, but I don't mind as foreplay. Now if he's only expecting that and no sex after? Pshhhhh, no way, this isn't a late night special show.
Happy to see that the BJ convo has spread into other threads.
My best friend's boyfriend wakes her up several nights a week at 2am (when he gets home from work) to request a BJ. She has to be up at 5am for work and she gives him the BJ almost every time. I think she's insane. If he were mine, he would have been stabbed by now.

I totally agree. Don't mind at all for foreplay. As a stand-alone? No thank you.

Not even that they are boring.....just ew. I used to give them to my H in exchange for designer bags. No shame.
Is this a joke?
Why? I can take a flaming. I used to be obsessed with expensive purses (pre kid). Once in a while I would see one that I KNEW he would say no too, and offer a BJ or two in exchange.
I am kind of a germaphobe so 1) I have never peed in the shower - that grosses me out, 2) I can probably count on one hand the number of times DH has received a BJ, but on the flip side I rarely let him go down there either.

No flaming, just seems odd and childish so I thought maybe it was a joke.

If I see you love-tit someone I'm not getting along with, you go on my post-it right with that person.
I'm the type of person who doesn't mind respectful debate. The key there is to be respectful (and to assume that the person on the other end is doing the same). Because it's just words, it's really easy for us to "hear" tone that might not have been intended.

I'd say this is thinking on your toes. Kudos! And mehhh, what's one day?

The family that pees together stays together.
Also if I could use a beej for a barter tool I would totally do it.
