Title: Thread for Michigancat and Friends to Put Mommyblogs in the Boston Crab
Post by: SkinnyBenny on July 31, 2015, 10:23:41 AM
ITT rusty will offer up links to particularly insufferable mommy blogs and then he (we?) will brutally take down the shitty writing/parenting/whatever.

Initially it was sparked by this (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://batonrouge.citymomsblog.com/must-decline-with-regret-my-kids-arent-invited/) snotty Baton Rouge mom blog, which was posted in the Planning Weddings thread.

Now you go! (Also feel free to post examples of good mommy blogs if there are any.)

That link goes to a cached (caSHEYed) version but when you try to go to the current version of the page you get a Page Not Found error....Did she already take it down because too many people were bitching at her?

I think maybe. And I don't know how all that works or if it will be up, so here's the text for when this thread flounders, seems dead, and then gets bumped for some weird reason three years after it has long been forgotten about.

Must Decline with Regret {The Kids Aren’t Invited}

by Fleur on July 21, 2015 in Breastfeeding, Family, Infants, Motherhood, New Moms




Dear Bride and Groom,

We just received your beautiful wedding invitation! Thank you for thinking of us!! We’re so excited and happy to celebrate this special day with y’all!!!

…oh, it’s an adults only event. Oh, it’s in New Orleans. Oh, it’s in the evening.

And just like that, no matter how badly I may want to attend, I know I must decline the invitation. This has happened to me so many times since the birth of my daughter.

So my question to you is, dear Bride and Groom — what’s up with that? Why even invite us? You are aware we have a small child, right?

My guess is you didn’t give a huge amount of thought to that decision, and I can understand that. You have A LOT of decisions to make. In most cases, newlyweds-to-be do not yet have kids, so you aren’t keenly aware of how difficult it can be to leave said kids at home to attend an event like this. I get it.

But what IS the thought process there, I have to wonder?

Is it a cost issue? I have heard one bride make the comment, “I’m not feeding an entire family at my wedding.” Ahem, rude, but also…what? Most kids are not going to eat more than any 3 adults. My child is so distracted at events like weddings, she eats the quantitative equivalent of a less-than-eager gerbil. Do wedding venues charge full price per head for babies and small children these days? I highly doubt it, and if they do, they deserve a swift kick in the pants and I suggest you find another venue because they are clearly ripping you off.

Is it a noise issue? Are you worried my two-year-old will distract from the ceremony? If she does get rowdy-rowdy (unlikely), you can bet I or my husband will be ushering (see what I did there?) her from the ceremony faster than you can blink. We know how important this day is; we would never do anything to derail attention from you.

Is it a crowd control issue? Are you worried your elegant party will become a zoo with thousands of kids invading your dance floor? I don’t know your guest list and the potential attendees under the age of 18, but I have to believe that any parent who CAN leave their kids at home whilst at your wedding…WILL. What parent wouldn’t want to enjoy a fun night of dinner/dancing/drinks with their partner alone? I know I would! But I can’t during this time in my life, and so I don’t mind if my little one tags along so I can attend events like yours. Sidenote, from what I’ve witnessed and I’ve attended a wedding or two in my day, it’s often the kids who are first out on the dance floor, getting the party started oh so adorably (you’re welcome).

I ask because I did not have an exclusively adult wedding, and I truly want to understand your reasoning. Hear me on this point: this is your occasion and you absolutely have EVERY right in the world to decide who attends your wedding. But I’d venture to say that you made other considerations for your guests so they could attend, didn’t you? Did you consider them when choosing the menu? Probably. What about convenience of location and time? Likely. These considerations and many more probably crossed your mind when planning your day so that as many guests as possible could celebrate with you. So why not allow your guests to bring their children if they really need to?

Please allow me to put it in perspective for you a bit. Breastfeeding makes it really difficult to be away from an infant for more than 2.5 to 3 hours. As in, it strikes fear in the heart of many mommas. What if the baby doesn’t take a bottle? This is a thing. What if her breastfeeding journey has been a difficult one, one that she has worked very hard for, and a bottle could jeopardize that? This is also a thing. What if the baby nurses to sleep and therefore will not be able to go to bed without the mother? Yes, also a thing. What if the mother just plain doesn’t feel comfortable leaving her baby yet? The list goes on. Unless you have previous experience with children, Bride and Groom, some of these concepts probably sound vastly foreign (they sure did for me until about 2 years ago), but these are all indeed very common things in the world of early motherhood.

So let’s say any of one of these issues apply to me – if your wedding is in New Orleans (aren’t they always?!), I’m looking at about a 2-hour drive from where I live, allowing time for parking/traffic. Let’s be conservative and say your ceremony is also at the reception site and lasts 30 minutes. We stay at your reception for an hour and a half. So that’s 4 hours round trip to get there and back, plus 2 hours for the event equals 6 hours away from my baby, at the very minimum, getting home around midnight if it’s a 6 o’clock event. Which equals out to a big fat stress ball of worry if I attempt to come to your wedding. I’m sorry, but it’s just not worth it to me, no matter how badly I want to go. So I won’t. I sadly missed several weddings of dear friends who had adult-only events during the first year of my daughter’s life. And, I could have easily come had she been welcome!

Even in her second year, it’s not much easier. It’s needlessly annoying — why can’t I just bring her? That would solve everything! But I can’t. Therefore, more often than not, I have to regretfully decline, not because we have other plans, but because my child can’t come.

I say all this out of love and admittedly frustration, Bride and Groom, because I truly want to celebrate with you, otherwise I wouldn’t go through such internal turmoil. But please understand why your decision to exclude kids makes it difficult for me, and for all the young mothers you have invited, to attend.

I know this is a busy and exciting time – I remember how wonderful it was being a blushing bride myself. But one day you’ll be in my shoes. You’ll have little ones you adore more than anything in the world, and you’ll get invited to weddings that don’t welcome them. It will make your heart a little sad, and may cause you to look back on your own decision as a bride and groom with empathy and perhaps the slightest bit of regret.

Sincerely,

Fleur, on behalf of all mothers with small children who will be unable to attend.

Fleur (which rhymes with ‘blur’ and is French for “flower,” in case you were wondering) is a former media relations and marketing professional happily turned part-time freelance writer and all-the-time mommy to her daughter, a spunky and sweet toddler. She always assumed she would return to work after maternity leave, but the role of Mother grabbed her by the soul, and she was very fortunate to have the choice to remain at home. A wandering heart to the core, Fleur and her husband of 9 years have traveled and lived in many places, but are happy to have returned home after the birth of their baby girl. Fleur and her family reside on the outskirts of Zachary down on the farm, where they enjoy raising chickens, horses, dogs, {not super successful} attempts at gardening, and just generally being outside all the time. Based on her choices when it comes to motherhood and parenting, Fleur would likely be dubbed a “crunchy” mama, but her husband would just call it making things more complicated than they have to be…for the good of their daughter, he would totally add {wink wink} Fleur loves coffee, languages and words, honest conversations coupled with hilarity as a requirement, photography, and the idea of sleeping through the night.

Which group is more into being martyrs? Teachers or internet parents? Or is there another profession with even worse martyr syndrome that I'm forgetting about?  (P.S. Big ups to teachers and/or parents who don't fit into this stereotype. Thankfully most of the people I know who fall into either category avoid those trappings, which I guess is why I hang out with them.)

Quote
A member of an increasingly growing group of moms who are neo-hippies.

They generally believe (for varying reasons) that there is something bad or less beneficial about buying mainstream products or doing other common activities in the mainstream way.

You might be a crunchy mom if you:

...bake all your own bread
...make your own jam, jelly, pickles, applesauce, etc.
...gave birth at home -- by CHOICE! (With a midwife, doula, or unassisted!)
...prefer to teach your children yourself at home instead of letting the public or private schools do it for you.
...grow your own food as much as possible, and buy the rest at farmer's markets or health food stores.
...are vegan or vegetarian.
...choose not to use birth control.
...don't wear a bra or shoes.
...don't use shampoo or soap, but instead maybe sea salt or a variety of other things.
...had your placenta chopped up for an anti-depressant pill or smoothie.
...have no television in your home -- and actually read BOOKS for entertainment!
...grind your own grain to make your own bread with (did you know that wheat looses about 90% of it's nutrients within 7 days of being ground?)
...don't cut your hair or wear pants (not going around half-naked, but wearing skirts! Silly people! Get your mind out of the gutter!)
...can add 10 more things to this list that I didn't even think of!

If it were a spectrum, on the extreme far end you would find Amish.
Mom 1: So after that HORRIBLE experience with the hospital with my first baby, I had my second one at home completely unassisted.

Mom 2: Wow! You're an even crunchier mom than I am! I thought I was pretty crunchy after giving birth at home with a midwife and doula. How many kids do you want to have? And do you plan to homeschool too?

Mom 1: I want to have as many as God blesses me with! We've never used birth control as long as we've been married! And yes! We start homeschooling Darling Daughter number one this Fall!

Mom 2: It's nice to know I'm not the only crazy crunchy mom!

Why is she bitching about scrubbing toilets? I thought her kid was 10 months old, no way is that shitty brat and his wiggly feet pissing in the toilet already.

I cleaned our toilets a week ago Saturday, and then I went out and mowed a lawn with a heat index of 115 degrees.  Then, later that night, I was up until after midnight doing work for my job.

Does this mean I should take a picture of my feet?

We are an early 30's, very photogenic couple. We want a photographer with a tasteful, but artistic eye for composition to be present and shooting throughout the birth of our son. The attached photos are examples of the kind of work we're looking for, although we hope for some even more imaginative frames...

We are planning an all-natural water birth. It will be at a hospital, but at a birthing center where only the two of us and the midwife will be present in the room. You will have creative license to shoot everything from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave after the baby is born. This isn't for the squeamish, but there is a lot of poetry and authenticity in a birth, so we're hoping that you will be creatively inspired and some amazing photography will come of this...

He is a tall, handsome muscular artist who is covered in original (not cliche) tattoos.
She is a beautiful and petite Japanese woman with the guts (no pun intended) to go through birth without any medications, interventions or Western medical ideas about how a baby should be born. It will be very intimate.

Pay is negotiable. We're hoping you're so intrigued and creatively inspired that you'll do it for free. If not, and your portfolio shows that you're worth it, we would be willing to pay $150. Please email contact info and a link where we can see some of your work to the reply link on this posting. Our son will be born sometime in the next two weeks. You will have to be on-call the same way the midwife is during this time frame.

I'm sorry I fed you all that bland baby food – even if it was homemade. Your little brother ate what we ate from the get-go and, as a result, he seems to have a much more adventurous palate. For months, you ate nothing but unseasoned sweet potatoes and carrots and peas and any other vegetable I could fit in my Beaba Cooker. I'm really sorry for that. I'm hoping one day you'll overcome your fear of spice and learn to embrace your culinary wild side.

You see I want to get it RIGHT precisely because I've messed up so much in the past with you. I feel like I owe it to you. You gave me the greatest gift possible. You made me a mom. In the most intense way possible, YOU are my baby.

so basically implying that they would spend less money on the gift because of this incredible insult. still probably my favorite mom blog post ever.

So, why the name Beauty Through Imperfection?
 
I have struggled with insecurity a lot in my life because I felt like I needed to be perfect. There is nothing wrong with trying to improve yourself, and to fix your shortcomings, but when you are constantly feeling bad because you aren’t perfect, well, that’s just not healthy. As a new mom, I would get discouraged because I always looked around and saw people that seemed perfect, blogs I would read, people I would meet, every one was acting like they had it all together, and it made me feel inadequate. My hubby would constantly encourage me that there’s no such thing as a perfect mom, and that I was doing great because I love my kids and I take care of them, but I still felt unsure.

Posting not to mock the recovery thing; posting to mock the general self-indulgence and specifically the "I was Supermom" part.


Quote
I should start out by saying getting all feisty on Facebook is not something I normally do. In fact, I'm not even sure this IS the right thing to do, but something has been eating at me for a few days, and I feel like I need to say something.

The other day I noticed a meme was being passed around several of my Facebook groups. Most of these are groups for moms, where we share play date ideas, talk about teachers / school issues, and ask for advice and guidance from other moms. The meme was of photo of a wine bottle, with the heading "The most honest gift to a teacher I've ever seen." The bottle had a label with a photo of a child, and the words "Our child might be the reason you drink, so enjoy this bottle on us."

Now, I see memes every day on Facebook about drinking. I mean, you'd be blind to miss them. Memes about beer and wine and Friday and work hard/play hard, etc. But this one bothered me. And it was everywhere. When I read it, I felt a pit in my stomach. And that pit started to churn until I was almost enraged. I was pissed, you guys.

Because here's the thing...it's not f'ing funny. It's not.
If you are a friend, you probably know I'm a person in long term recovery, which for me means I no longer drink alcohol. However, I don't judge those that do. I get that for many people, drinking is not an issue. Lots of people drink socially or have a drink or two, and everything is fine. I am not one of those people, but if you are, great! Enjoy!

But there are many, many of us who cannot drink alcohol without having problems. It shouldn't be shocking, alcohol is an addictive drug. Yes, it's legal, but it's still a drug. In fact, it's a drug that kills 88,000 people in the U.S. per year (not counting the additional 10,076 people who are killed annually in alcohol-impaired driving crashes). It's a drug that is affecting women and mothers in record numbers. It's a drug that is killing mothers and leaving children motherless.

It's dangerous to blame our children for our drinking, even in jest. I know, because I certainly did it. I was supermom, working 50+ hours a week, raising kids and keeping a home in order. I deserved a glass of wine. I needed it. I said it was to relax, but it wasn't. It was to numb out. Mothering isn't easy, and it can be extremely overwhelming. I was exhausted from lack of sleep, frustrated by lack of personal time and lonely. So I turned to wine...wine made it all go away. I never drank much in front of my kids, but I'd rush them to bed in anticipation of that beautiful feeling of numbness. I wasn't present, because I was always living in the future, when I could erase my fears and inadequacies.

It worked until it didn't. There is only so long that you can use a depressant drug to cure what ails you. I became more depressed and tired...my solution became the problem.
I am the lucky one. I was fortunate enough to find recovery before it got "too bad." My kids were still young and I didn't lose years of my life. However, it still affected them. I could justify that I rarely drank in front of them, but it doesn't matter...because they knew. My daughter was six when I quit (and I only drank during four years of her life due to pregnancy and nursing), but she still knew something was wrong. One day she told me she was glad I didn't drink wine anymore. I asked her why and she said, "You're different now. You're just different." She was six. She knew. The kids....they know.

So please, please think before you post. Sure, you may think it's just a joke. You might believe I'm being oversensitive. I mean, all you have to do is look at wine ads (Mommy Juice!) or activities for moms (Painting...with wine! Book club...with wine! Playdates...with wine!) to see it's part of the culture of motherhood these days. But what happens when a mom has a few too many at those playdates and drives home? Is it funny then? Or is that when we judge and chastise and say, "I can't believe she did such a thing!"? 17% of auto accident deaths of children aged 0 to 14 years involve an alcohol-impaired driver. SEVENTEEN PERCENT. Why isn't that a hilarious Facebook meme? Alcohol kills approximately nine times more people per year than heroin. Where's the meme for that?

Remember, your kids are watching. They are learning how to "unwind" and "destress" from you. Your children are NOT the reason you drink. They are not the reason their teacher may drink. That's not fair to the kids. It's not okay. If you drink, it's because you choose to. If you can control it, good for you. Cheers! But if it's hurting you, if you are afraid, if you want to stop and you can't...please message me. Call me. Reach out. You are not alone.

So, yeah, parenting feels hard to me. It’s not because I don’t love my children. I love them with a love that is great and deep and wild. They are precious and wonderful and, most of all, beloved.

Parenting feels hard because I’m trying, every day, to be better at it than I was yesterday. It feels hard because we’re all people, we’re all imperfect, and we’re living and growing together in ways that can grind, carve and shape. It feels hard because these are tiny little humans we’re talking about, tiny little humans who will one day become men and women, and we get to shepherd them into that, and it is a giant, humbling, magnanimous task—a privilege but also a mountain of responsibility.

I don’t take it lightly.

Bethany Liston is a full-time working mom of two boys under 2. She married her best friend when their now-toddler was 6 months old in June 2014. Her life revolves around pretending she has some idea what she's doing raising these tiny humans. She generally doesn't (read: never) write for public consumption. Until now. Maybe.

Every day, it registers a tiny bit more that we’re headed to Newbornville very, very soon.

And with each passing day, all I can do is feel my heart break a little bit more for my eldest.

Her transformation from baby to little girl is not slowing down. Every day, she’s mastering something new, saying a new word or phrase, and showing me a new part of her incredibly radiant personality. I love it. I can’t even begin to describe how much I love this kid. It actually, physically hurts me sometimes as I feel my heart swell as I proudly look on while she does her thing.

Post by: Mrs. Gooch on December 21, 2015, 01:25:08 PM
Quote
After spending 11 years in an abusive marriage, I found the courage to take the children ( the eldest 3)  and leave. I was able to start my life over again, I met a new man, married and had a further 3 children until life decided to come back for round two with me.

Bipolar disorder tried to strip me of everything I held dear and it almost did. I fought back.  After losing my career and my friends to a mental disorder and even my health due to an eating disorder, I made a promise to myself that I didn’t want any other woman to feel the way I did at that moment in my life.

I set up a support group for mothers suffering from parental mental health on Facebook and this is how the blog was created. I needed a larger platform to support them all. I turned my life around and I am helping others do the same.

I want to share with you what I have learned along the way and maybe we can both make our lives and the lives of others better.

I have met so many amazing and inspiring parents along the way and this blog includes many of their real life stories and has given parents everywhere a voice, they are able to blog anonymously here.

Daily debates, real life topics, parenting, relationships and confessions, you will read it all here in a no holds barred type of writing that may be upsetting to some, but as parents, we understand it.

Jigsaw Parenting highlights the real life problems facing today’s parents and holds them above judgment. We are all just trying our hardest to do what we know is right for ourselves and our children.

Sadly my second marriage only lasted 8 years and I find myself a single mother to 6 children, now aged 5,6,7,12,13 and 16 but I am still holding my head high and still fighting my demons head on.

If there is anything else you would like to ask about me – ask away!

Scary mommy confessionals, holy crap!!   :ROFL: :ROFL:

My son is "gifted" and it's more a curse than a gift. He carries the weight of the world in his shoulders. I absolutely hate it and wish he was a normal kid.

My "gifted" son screamed "I hate being the smart one, why can't she be the smart one!" about his little sister. We haven't had her tested yet but we suspect she has a higher IQ than him.

I don't feel what I imagine motherly love is for my child. He annoys the crap out of me.

Whenever I get my period I tell my DH I need pads and tampons. But really I get cash back and buy booze. No questions asked. No shame.

I hate being a parent. I constantly think about suicide.  :ohno: :cry:

My son got an Ancestry DNA kit for Xmas to test his heritage. I have never been more scared in my life of test results.  :lol: :lol:

My kids are 11 and 6 and I can't remember most of their childhood because of wine and xanax. Yet they are what drove me to wine and xanax. This makes me so sad. I suck at motherhood. Not good at anything else either.

1)  SHE was the one who put the unnatural and/or inconvenient requirement of making the hot rough ridin' pan the last thing out the door.  That's a decision she made, and it's on her.  Maybe pick something more convenient lady?

2)  If a pacifier is such a difference maker (I don't think it is, and if it is, you have much larger issues than not having a pacifier), then maybe have it more secure.

3)  I would love love LOVE if my family was ready in the vehicle ass-in-seat ready to go at the time that was agreed to.  I am certainly capable of planning ahead and having everything I am responsible for in the vehicle well ahead of time, and usually so that I can help get everyone else that's falling behind get ready.  Maybe that's enabling, whatever, it's not a big deal.  But this lady is lucky, yet says she is so damn busy, and yet (as rd astutely pointed out) posts a blog to routinely complain about how busy she is.  What in the actual eff lady?

Nope, I am angry that after hours of scouring baby advice websites, dozens of parenting books that were carefully read page by page, and endless conversations with my friends that are mothers and my own mother, no one, and I mean no one, warned me about the side effects that would appear long after pregnancy.

About lindseylitzner
Lindsey is thrilled to be back home in Kansas. She grew up across from a cornfield in a little town just North of Wichita, met her husband in High School and their young love carried them through college. The two married after graduation & began the adventure of Medical School, Residency, and Fellowship that took them to 3 states (um, 7 moves!) in 10 years. During that time, Lindsey taught first grade until she had the first of two children and began her role as a stay-at-home mama. Recently, she turned her love of fashion & design into a consulting business. Lindsey credits her role as owner of Huck & Leni Personal / Interior Styling as allowing her to be true to herself as a woman & as a mama. She admits the balance is sometimes tricky, but hey...that's why there's coffee, right?

I think she was constipated for the past 3 days and I was going to give her an enema, but I just locked her in the bathroom and encouraged her to relax. It is such hard work being a mom. I don't know how some of the other moms do it, but I just do the best I can and if that isn't good enough, then I am sorry. But the big turd was accomplished.

About Kristin R.
Kristin is a recent Lee’s Summit suburb transplant, after living in the Brookside and Plaza areas for over eight years. Raising two young boys with her husband, Jake, has helped her to embrace the messy, wild side of life where love is expressed in bear hugs and body slams. Professionally, she can be found teaching classes as an adjunct professor in the areas of Business, Marketing and PR. She is able to provide her students with applicable, real-life knowledge as she draws from several years working in the corporate sector. “Free time” (ha!, what's that again?) is spent on an occasional date night to favorite local restaurants, reading blogs on everything from home design to politics, riding her sweet beach cruiser bike and thinking of ways to convince her husband to do yet another home improvement project.

I don't know, exactly. My third grader is pretty lax about homework and would definitely pass if she never turned it in. Depends on the school and the teacher and the kid.

There's a lot of pressure on schools to stop homework for elementary kids and I think there are a lot of teachers that hate it as much as the kids and parents and wouldn't assign it if they didn't have to.

Dear stranger who disciplined my kiddo at the playground today,

Woah woah woah, lemme get this straight. So today your daughter was trying to do the monkey bars? Okay, got it. And my kid was trying to do the monkey bars too? Simple enough. But since your kiddo is new to the monkey bars and takes forever and sometimes gets scared and stops right in the middle, my son had no choice but to go past her and sometimes bump her a little and she would fall and be all sensitive and start crying? Hmmm. Alrighty then.

Now before I continue, I just want to say that yes, I know I should have been there when this all went down, but unfortunately I was on the other side of the playground with my son’s friend who was crying. So no, I wasn’t there, but does that give you a right to discipline my kiddo? Does that give you the right to talk to him sternly and tell him to knock it off? Does that give you the right to act like you are the person in charge when he is actually MY child?

Ummmm, yes. YES IT DOES.

I didn’t get the chance to say this today, but THANK YOU. Because if my kid is acting like a douchenugget and I’m not around for whatever reason, you have my permission to tell him to knock that crap off. I’m not saying you have the right to touch him in any way or yell at him uncontrollably (only I’m allowed to do that), but please feel free to tell him to stop being a jerkwad if he’s not waiting his turn to do the monkey bars. Or if he’s walking up the slide. Or if he’s throwing wood chips. Or if he’s saying bad words. Or being a bully. Or doing anything that he shouldn’t be doing that’s bothering someone else.

Because even if you aren’t his parent, you are the adult. Which means you are smarter than he is. And yeah, I know there are probably a-holes out there who would be all pissy about some stranger getting mad at their kiddo, but not me.

It takes a village. And these days our village might be a little bigger and more spread out and we don’t all sleep in side-by-side huts or ride in covered wagons or gather around the campfire at night and we don’t even all know each other, but we can either choose to have a village or not. And I choose to have a village.

I’m sorry I wasn’t there to do my job, so thank you for helping me do it.

Sincerely,

“That” kid’s mom

exact same.  can be ok when used to address the child, never acceptable to use when discussing the child with a 3rd party.

Almost as annoying especially when used multiple times. Don't people hate it when their kids grow up? Then why are you aging him by calling him a little man?

This one could qualify for the Facebook thread as well, but I think it's better suited here. 

Mom is in the dilemma of a lifetime, because she fears her kid won't be academically challenged in kindergarten. This, after spending the last couple of years in what seems to be some sort of super pre-school. It's like one long thinly-veiled brag with a little self-created drama/problem for mom and daughter.

Link to the blog -----> https://inspiredlivingkc.com/2016/09/12/kindergarten-tears/

Quote
I felt my daughter was kindergarten ready last year, therefore 1st grade ready now…  Unfortunately birth date restrictions prohibit or mandate kids start according to a standardized system of laws out of my control. 

Some Facebook posts & subsequent replies below:

MOM: I may be making too much out of something easy, though, I am feeling regrets about Parker's kindergarten education. For different reasons than you may think. How would you approach a teacher to voice your concerns?

CONCERNED FRIEND 1:
Schedule a conference so you can talk face to face.

MOM: There is a curriculum meeting tomorrow evening with parents and the teacher. It won't just be me so I thought I might e-mail her in advance. I am just suck on how to even approach her without offending her.  :barf

CONCERNED FRIEND 1:
Yeah that can be tough but it's also important to voice your concerns if it's something that really bothers you.

CONCERNED FRIEND 2: Keep it positive in approach. Your daughter has to come first, so beyond that....don't worry too much about her taking it personal. Good teachers should understand .

MOM: Did you read my blog post? I think it has a lot to do with being dissatisfied with the school before it even started and the naivety a 1st year teacher may have. :barf I'm trying to be patient and now I need to say something.

Second Conversation In Thread:


FRIEND 3 (Probably also has genius kid):
possibly in your email indicate how you would like to speak to her in private? You have an exceptionally smart child that needs challenged! If she's a good teacher who loves children she will hear you out and not be offended. I'm learning along with many parents how to "embrace" common core and it's difficult. Having those conversations can be difficult but you are her most dedicated advocate, and she needs you and Reggie. There are a lot of restrictions but there is also always a way! Good luck my friend. It will be okay!

MOM:I don't think I am capable of embracing common core. I'd rather protest in Washington.

SUPPORTIVE DUDE: It is a really well written blog Mom, I didn't comprehend how much thought would go into picking a Kindergarden. What does Parker say about school? Do they have any gifted options for higher learners? It sounds like Parker is really advanced for her age and I understand your fear of regerssion or doing things because you are told to not because you want to learn. Your blog really made me think what I will someday want in a school system for my daughter. Thanks for me making me think. Hope all is well.

Edited to add a final gem from the Facebook convo:

MOM (responding to a post about learning social skills in school):

I understand what you mean about it learning to be a student, I'm just afraid she's doing more to help the other kids learn to be students and that's why she loves having Parker in class so much. Parker is losing her love for school and that didn't happen for me until around 5th grade.

Thorns From My Husband

Last week I came up with an idea for a post I wanted to write about the irritating statements my husband makes.  It’s incredible how a short concoctions of words can send me into a whirlwind of irrational, over-emotional turmoil.

I cleaned up.

I have a surprise for you.

Are you feeling better yet?


These are just three examples of phrases I hear from him which begin a cycle of madness in my mind, how to react, what to say next, what does this mean, etc…  It sounds insane, right?  Those three statements appear to be so innocent, even thoughtful perhaps.  Well lemme just fill you in on the context with which these endearing words are uttered.

don't forget the blog executive summary!

Quote
I am aware that I have become a person who thinks, believes and acts in the way that I do in relation to the people, places and experiences that I encountered in my lifetime. The way that I am is neither good nor bad, right nor wrong – and the things that I have been through are not all positive or negative experiences. All of it chalks up to lessons that I am continuing to learn to be aware of. The purpose of this blog is an opportunity for me to reflect on the people, places and experiences that have inspired the way I am living.

There are moments that we can all look back on as turning points in our lives.  Important experiences that help to define the way we think or how we see a picture.  This idea is intriguing to me when I meet people and think about what they have been through in their lives and how it has shaped their way of behaving, their way of responding and what values are important to them.

I can look back in my own life and think of clear moments that taught me who to trust, when to react, how to communicate most effectively and when to defy authority.  I know there are major events that had big impacts and there are small events with similar effects.  I know some experiences supported thinking I had already developed and some experiences challenged previous learning and made me reevaluate what I know for certain.

I am learning to appreciate all experiences, the not so positive ones too, as helping me to grow.

Places can be inspirational whether familiar like your own home, place of employment or favorite places to frequent.  Places can also provide inspiration when they are unknown, uninviting or uncomfortable.  I love to travel and I also like to apprecaite my local surroundings for inspiration too.

Sometimes individuals enter your life who serve a purpose, some people you meet and they instantly assist you to view a problem differently whereas some people may challenge your beliefs and frustrate you to the core.  It fascinates me to reflect back on the individuals who I have met, how they have influenced me and what purpose my relationship with them has for me. I believe everyone I have encountered has impacted me in some way or another.

It is hard to appreciate the small moments, the daily occurances and the events that seem dull.  I am making an effort to find inspiration in the ordinary, to slow down and take notice.

i do think the mustard colored dog should have had some lines by its tail to indicate wagging during the exchanges though.  hat dog was wagging at him (it) and you have to construe not wagging in return to be a deliberate and cruel snub (possibly hat-related).

Quote
Dear Husband,

I am sorry.

I’m sorry that you’ve been neglected for the last four-and-a-half years. I’m sorry that your needs are secondary. I assure you, you are still one of my top priorities—you just aren’t on the top of the list anymore.

I know that you have needs, wants, dreams and desires. When I tell you that I want to be the one you lean on, I mean it. I know you are tired of my excuses of being tired, having a headache or am already snoring when you snuggle up next to me. Trust me, I wish I had the energy I had five years ago. Hell, I wish I had the energy I had two weeks ago when I washed, folded and actually put away all 10 loads of laundry. Of course, you didn’t see that because I was letting you get some much needed sleep.

I know that some days it feels like we have a business partnership. And you’re right. Some days—even weeks—feel that way. Know that I want better for our marriage, for us. Because together, we are damn good.

The problem is, my life, my brain and my body are so wrapped up in being a mother to those little boys who look exactly like you. Even after they’re sound asleep and we’re sitting on the couch watching a movie, my brain is still in mother mode.

I’m thinking about tomorrow; I’m thinking about 10 years from now. I’m wondering if you have work clothes for tomorrow. I’m worried about money, milestones and milk. Do we have enough milk? I can’t turn off being a mom. It is who I am now. And it is physically, emotionally and mentally exhausting.

I don’t want you to think you aren’t as important as you once were. I couldn’t live this life without you and I wouldn’t want to, either. But the simple fact is, you’re an adult and you can do things for yourself. You can vote, so you can make your own lunch. You are legally able to drive a car, so you can figure out how to make a doctor’s appointment.

When you come home from work, you, unfortunately, are getting the worst version of me. I gave our children the best. A little secret: Sometimes, some days, there just isn’t a best version of me. There just isn’t.

I can’t worry about your health, the boys’ health, the pet’s health and my health. Who do you think gets ignored? It’s not you. It’s not our children or our pets. When I say I don’t feel well, when I say I haven’t been sleeping, it’s because I haven’t been taking care of me.

Yes, you tell me to go to the doctor, to eat better, to drink more water, but I am my very last priority. I know I need to change that and I’m not complaining. I’m explaining that when something has to give, because no one person can do it all, I am the thing that gives.

I’m worried about your sleep apnea, your allergies, your knee spasms. I am worried about the rash Alex has, and the snotty nose that Ben suddenly started with. I am concerned about our dog’s ears and what it’s going to cost to take her to the vet.

While I’m thinking about it, I’m worried that the fish have too much algae in their tank and the water needs to be changed. I’ll just add that to the never-ending list of things I will feel guilty about when I am trying to sleep tonight. None of this your fault. I am not blaming you, or wishing you were any different.

You do extraordinary things for our family. You work harder than any person I know. You care more about everyone, including me, than any other human I have ever met. I love you a little more each time I see you help someone knowing you will never get anything in return. You are the kindest, most loving father to our children. There is a reason they cry when you leave for work. Yes, it stings a little, but knowing that you are their role model in life fills me with love and pride.

I am not the person you married 11 years ago. I have changed and evolved into a wife, mother, friend and keeper of all schedules. I am a party planner and a personal shopper. I am a chef specializing in chicken nuggets and pasta. I am a housekeeper that can’t keep a house. I am the cheerleader and the librarian. I am the night and the day nurse.

I wouldn’t change any of it. I don’t want any other life. I love you and I love the life that we created. But I am not the spontaneous, beer drinking, sexy bad girl you met way back when. I am a mother. And it is all of me.

Love Always,

Your Wife

This summer, Jen and Kristin from #IMOMSOHARD are taking their show out of the playroom and onto the road. But this time, they’re bringing the kids. And a tour bus (you didn’t think they’d leave them with their husbands, did you?).

There’s no one making moms feel as uncomfortably normal as Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley, the hilarious oh-so-real women behind #IMomSoHard. With over 675,000 Facebook fans, and more than 55 million views of their web series, Jen and Kristin’s blend of honesty and humor offer the kinds of levity most of us only get from our therapist, proving that if we weren’t all laughing, we’d be crying, right? Right!? Sure to deliver the kind of straight talk you can only get from discussing body hair in the kids’ playroom while sipping mimosas, Kristin and Jen prove you can’t make this shi*t up.

It’s like an evening with two of your besties. But funnier. And probably with more drinking. Definitely more drinking

Dear Husband,

I am sorry.

I’m sorry that you’ve been neglected for the last four-and-a-half years. I’m sorry that your needs are secondary. I assure you, you are still one of my top priorities—you just aren’t on the top of the list anymore.

I know that you have needs, wants, dreams and desires. When I tell you that I want to be the one you lean on, I mean it. I know you are tired of my excuses of being tired, having a headache or am already snoring when you snuggle up next to me. Trust me, I wish I had the energy I had five years ago. Hell, I wish I had the energy I had two weeks ago when I washed, folded and actually put away all 10 loads of laundry. Of course, you didn’t see that because I was letting you get some much needed sleep.

I know that some days it feels like we have a business partnership. And you’re right. Some days—even weeks—feel that way. Know that I want better for our marriage, for us. Because together, we are damn good.

The problem is, my life, my brain and my body are so wrapped up in being a mother to those little boys who look exactly like you. Even after they’re sound asleep and we’re sitting on the couch watching a movie, my brain is still in mother mode.

I’m thinking about tomorrow; I’m thinking about 10 years from now. I’m wondering if you have work clothes for tomorrow. I’m worried about money, milestones and milk. Do we have enough milk? I can’t turn off being a mom. It is who I am now. And it is physically, emotionally and mentally exhausting.

I don’t want you to think you aren’t as important as you once were. I couldn’t live this life without you and I wouldn’t want to, either. But the simple fact is, you’re an adult and you can do things for yourself. You can vote, so you can make your own lunch. You are legally able to drive a car, so you can figure out how to make a doctor’s appointment.

When you come home from work, you, unfortunately, are getting the worst version of me. I gave our children the best. A little secret: Sometimes, some days, there just isn’t a best version of me. There just isn’t.

I can’t worry about your health, the boys’ health, the pet’s health and my health. Who do you think gets ignored? It’s not you. It’s not our children or our pets. When I say I don’t feel well, when I say I haven’t been sleeping, it’s because I haven’t been taking care of me.

if someone says that they don't know if a fairly common thing like malls still exist, then it's pretty safe to say that the person is a complete dumbass. but of course she knows they exist. she was just typing that she didn't to create a persona for herself which makes her a liar. debatable whether being a liar is better than being a complete dumbass but I'd argue that neither is a very good look.

She's lying in order to make herself seem like a dumbass so she can appear superior to others. Which I think is much worse than straight up being a complete dumbass.
