Reply to A Week's Worth in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Wow, that was quite a week you had. Yay to baby time getting closer! I often wonder what those naturally skinny people think about the majority of women who struggle. Once I ordered some ice cream at the food court, returned to the table with my friends, then one of the guys said, "Do you really need that?" Stuff like that makes me want to die, or at least punch the person. A baby shower you lucky girl! You're such a

Great Book: Teaching Through Creative Play in Parenting JoeUser Forums

I wish I'd found this book sooner! I've spent the last 3+ years as a stay-at-home mommy. Countless days I've spent wondering what the heck to do with my son...fun activities, mentally stimulating games, interaction with other kids. I've bought books, searched libraries, hunted online, asked other moms what they do with their own kids all day...but only came b

It was wrong of me in Blogging JoeUser Forums

That last article I wrote has given me a sick feeling all through my chest. The article opened a dialogue between my husband & me (thankfully he's a real trooper). We're over it now. But I just need to put into writing here how very sorry I am for having aired a personal thing online. It's so like me to do something like that, but I'm learning the hard way. I

Sorry you didn't read on little whip. I thought you were so big on reading the entirety of threads. Caught you jumping the gun! Our marriage is pretty solid, despite what little tidbits we throw out there that may make it seem otherwise. We're not going to become a statistic. Our little girl will be well-provided for and very loved by all of us throughout her entire life. <

This is John the Husband. All this talk about how I may have done something wrong. I remember one time earlier this year when I was at work she took the card and went to get a PS2 without permission, all told with a game and 2 dacnce pads she spent over $200. Now, the PS2 never gets used. A camera on the other hand will be used to take great pictures of our children. I researched it for a long time and while it's not the most absolute current style, it

Gosh I keep finding great points up there that I didn't see before: I just can't see how it's wrong for him to spend money on something that will benefit the entire family, Yes that camera was a thoughtful thing for the whole family, but we already had one that would have sufficed. It wouldn't have been such a big deal if we had the money for it,

Oh gosh I'm going over this thread again now and you all made such great points. The point is you work and make more money in the end after bills, than you do sitting at home eating chockolate, using up printer cartriges, and using the internet to degrade your husband. <TD

Thanks for all your viewpoints. Yes Xythe I agree this was rotten of me to post for the whole world to see, but I had to get his attention in a serious way. And it worked. He's a good guy, sometimes we all need an eye-opener. Credit card debt is no laughing matter. At the tender age of 24 my husband just hasn't learned that yet. If he's not careful (and if I don't keep a lookout) he's about to learn the hard way and the other three of us are gonna go down with him. I learned

Oh one more thing: I'm not entirely innocent here either...see we're absolutely flat broke so we've been leaning on that credit card for gasoline... Then yesterday I bent my rigid credit card rules a little (DON'T EVER TOUCH IT UNLESS IT'S AN EMERGENCY). I'm getting nervous about the new baby coming...and we have absolutely nothing for her. So with that credit card we bought her one outfit so she won't be naked when she comes home, and a package of teeny diapers. And then

At the beginning of 2004 we bought a digital camcorder thanks to a gracious donation from my mom. It does its job. It makes movies and it takes pictures. We use it several times a week, and we've captured some fun times with it. Although it has poor resolution that is painfully apparent on still photos, life goes on and I've learned to cherish memories in my

I want my mommy in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

It occurred to me...my first pregnancy & initiation into motherhood went pretty much unnoticed by the people in my life who should have cared most. Oh sure I may have been on the other side of the world when it happened. My family corresponded by mail. It was my fault for being so far away. But I really needed a mommy. Wouldn't it be nice to have s

Just think years down the road what it would be like to run through the volumes of their Shared Marriage journal, reliving every precious moment of ones marriage. I was thinking that too. That journal is a great idea. Now I only wish that my husband enjoyed writing. He's kind of a caveman in that area. I make fun of him for it every day. I call h

I would like to know if they have sex with the lights out, though. Oh yes, I secretly wonder about some couples. I just can't help it. What's the attraction with some people?! Blech.
