Avoiding tags because I'm lazy....I told DH early on in our relationship that I don't shave my legs during months that have R's in them (September-April) haha! Of course, I do still shave during those months but it's very infrequent. As for the "area", TMI, but I used to completely shave regularly, then I decided that the razor burn/ingrown hairs, weren't worth it and stopped. Now I trim to maintain and that's it. I was also appalled when I made a comment about not shaving "down there" during my first pregnancy and I had a girlfriend make the comment "how does DH find it?!" Um, there being hair down there doesn't move anything....he doesn't need a map! I also had a very serious boyfriend during my early 20's that shaved his entire body from the neck down...it was his preference and I wasn't about to stop him.
It's not Friday but... DD2 is 4 and she's generally not a sweet kid. Last night and today She had a low grade fever (100.3). She was remarkably whiny and extra mean. Like, over the top, tear your ears off whiny. Neither DH nor I could tolerate spending the whole day home listening to her whine so we took her to synagogue. While there, she was lovely and cute. We got home and she has not uttered a syllable without whining and crying. She walked part her sister and punched her for no reason. We have been trying to find things for her to do in different rooms. We're both counting down till bedtime. We decided if we put her to bed at 4:30pm we'd regret it at three in the morning. (We've given her Tylenol and tea and stuff and also been trying to hold her...we're not neglectful just out of patience)
ETA: I just had her lie down next to me and she said, "do you know why I love you? Because you're hot". I don't know what that means but I appreciate it being the first non whine of the day.
@nanifrog I feel ya today. I had my sister and three nieces over to make Christmas cookies today and they have unbelievable amounts of energy. The whole afternoon was nothing but running around and whining. DS refused his nap because of the loud thumps he could hear from his room. I also made the mistake of having my two youngest nieces over for a sleepover. Never again, at least not while pregnant! I got DS down for the night but now I'm sitting up with the girls watching a movie, i should have picked something shorter because I really want to go to my room and finally relax and just lay in bed and watch some Netflix.
@bwow615 your sister should get you something really nice for this. How old are they? Everyone is asleep and DH went to see star wars with his friend. I should eat something and clean up a bit, but I'm in bed hoping there's some activity on the board.
@nanifrog they are 6 & 8, the perfect age you would think they would be able to listen better than they do. They are sweet girls, but just a little much for me to handle right now. My SO is out of town, I just told my other sister to remind me to not offer to host sleepovers for a while hopefully you can have a relaxing few hours by yourself now! In still waiting for the end of this movie so I can get them settled in the guest room. The 8 year old told her mom before she left that she wanted to stay up late tonight, hahaha nope, you're 8, was my response.
I'm hoping my girls will be a little more compliant by that age, but I'm not holding my breath. What movie are you watching? I'm trying to think of something to watch.
@nanifrog we are watching the santa clause. They are behaving and sitting still while watching it so that's a win. When I go downstairs after I get them settled I am going to watch "dark" on Netflix. I wasn't sure I was going to get into it, but I'm hooked now. I also want some cookies and milk lol
My godkids are TERRIBLE. My BFF was saying she was going to come and see me in a week with them. And i had to say absolutely not. I love her. I love them. But I’m sick. I’m medicated. And I don’t need that amount of crazy under my roof. It’s stressing me out even thinking about it. Not to say my child is an angel (she’s absolutely not). But i run a lot tighter ship.
I think cheating is such a subjective thing. Is it something I’ve done? Unfortunately. Is it something I’d do now? Absolutely not. There are too many reasons why people cheat but I agree that it falls back on the spouse and not the other person. Not saying the other person is guiltless, but if someone is cheating it’s usually something wrong with them or their relationship.
Im currently soaking in the bath debating shaving for the first time in over a month. I’m WAY too scared to get a wax but I’m still too weak to care about the hair. I also get to lazy, too busy, and too a lot of things to do anything about it. Whatever. My legs, my problem. It disgusts me that anyone comments on that kind of thing. Not your body, not your decisions.
Lots of thoughts and hard to tag. I 100% agree that if you"re hiding it, it's cheating. This coming from the home of two recovering porn addicts. I may not like it when there's a relapse, but if it's out in the open I don't get upset either.
I am not judgemental of badly behaved children because I've known so many non-neurotypical children. I do judge when parents accept the behavior as okay or make excuses for it.

I agree that the other person isn't the main person to blame in cases of cheating. And I agree that there's a lot of sexism around that. The other woman is usually thought of as the person who seduced the man away. The other man is often right of almost as a victim. There are plenty of jokes about a husband and the urgent man becoming friends.
As for kids, I used to be pretty judgy about parenting. Now that I'm raising a kits with special needs and I've gotten an earful of judginess, I have a different perspective. In most cases, whatever you see is a tiny piece of what's actually happening. I let a lot go these days. That said, there a big difference between what I tolerate in my home or a grocery store versus at someone else's home.
All this talk of shaving had me ask DH to shave the pubes yesterdat since I can't see as well anymore to which he did. What a loving husband. I started to get anxious about the AS if they have to pull my pants down a bit if baby is low and MIL will be in the room.
