Thread for Michigancat and Friends to Put Mommyblogs in the Boston Crab

[michigancat]

also why the eff was she carrying so much crap

[Dr Rick Daris]

i mean the obvious thing is that if she is so busy, she should give up the mommy blog. she won't do that though.

[Mrs. Gooch]

I think she made up the whole story about carrying all the stuff because it was a nice metaphor that fit with the theme of the message she wanted to present.

[Mrs. Gooch]

This is why I don't have kids...

In addition to Scary Mommy, Lisa's writing has appeared on Mamalode, Mamapedia, and Literary Mama.  She is raising seven kids with her husband in Southern California, and blogs at Life As I Know It.

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?

I mean, did she really have no idea any of those things were going to happen?

[SkinnyBenny]

I am angry. No, angry is too strong of a word.

I am frustrated.

Then maybe just lead with "I am frustrated." Unless of course you're going to reverse course (again) and double down hard.

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.

Ah, there it is.

Now we're writing letters to our children's security blankets

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?

Mommyblogs are excellent just by themselves, but when they can slip in an "omg I can't exist without my coffeeeeeee" line as well, consider me fully invested.

I was just explaining to my sister the other day how all these "hardships" that come with having a kid were her choice. Oh, you have to stay home with your sick kid? You choose to have a kid. Oh, that time when you were really sad that the grandma had to watch the kid because you had to go to work? You choose to have a kid. Oh, you don't get to take a bunch of fun adults only trips? You choose to have a kid.

I don't think she agreed with me though.

[Emo EMAW]

Oh you don't like my kid kicking your seat on the airplane?  You chose to get on the airplane.

[Mrs. Gooch]

Oh you don't like my kid kicking your seat on the airplane?  You chose to get on the airplane.

I wouldn't like an adult kicking my seat either.

Don't let the inflatable slide raft hit your ass on the way out.

This is absolutely correct and she should have agreed with you.

its still ok to acknowledge that being a parent is a lot of work

[SkinnyBenny]

I have been a parent for all of 15 days and I can confirm that it is a lot of work. Choice I made, though 

It's mostly just annoying because so many parents ('specially mommybloggers) have a real martyr complex. Parents and teachers are probably the two worst groups as far as martyrdom goes iyam
