Why is it always the women who have to do the planning? I hate thats its always my responsibilty and of course get bitched at if its the wrong thing. Men have it so easy really

One thing I keep hearing from people who have older children is that I should be taking Little Elvis everywhere now because he’s so portable. But he doesn’t seem all that portable to me. An iPod is portable, but a baby that doesn’t like to be alone in the backseat for longer than 5 minutes really isn’t that portable. At least in my opinion. Maybe they meant when he was just a couple of weeks old and I was having issues walking?

Ha, ha sorry about that Jennifer! It can be so tiring day after day to do the same thing- and men just don’t understand. They figure we have it easy- I just want to say, “switch for a day!”

Wow, it’s like reading about our day. The husband is all restless because it’s a holiday and nothing’s going on, and frankly I’m restless too, but the fireworks are out because the kid’s already in bed for the night, and we could have someone over, but everyone we’re friends with are out doing fun, childless things, and so… We ordered pizza. Let the good times roll!

I’m not sure why women are the cruise directors and men are the passengers, but it seems to be so. Must be worse with little kids.

I remember before I had kids arrogantly thinking that life wouldn’t change (snort!!!!) I thought that I’d still go backpaking round the world, go out whenever I wanted etc etc.

Ha ha - the reality is, when you have kids, ESPECIALLY a breastfeeding newborn - home is the best place to be.

We just got back from Florida where I felt that for the entire time I was somehow a cruise director on someone else’s vacation. Not only did I drive EVERYWHERE- how did that happen? But EVERYTHING we did was planned by me and coordinated and I was the sole person to look at maps and get directions. I had a big ol fashion hissy fit every day. It would be nice to sit back and enjoy the things someone has planned for us wouldn’t it?
BTW- when will you be in St. Louis next- sounds like coordinating a family trip, driving a long way, and being away from home isn’t gonna happen for a while!

This is exactly why my boys are eight years apart! After the first one, decided I wanted more 'me; time. No more kids! When he was eight, I got stupid and thought I wanted a few more. Thankfully the hubby said no more after two!

Check out my contest!

Bored out of my mind right along with you, Jen. And it sucks being bored from staying at home, but realizing that it would be more work than it is worth do actually leave the house and do something entertaining.

And what the hell is up with men and their “we” speak? Mine does that too. Why don’t they just come out and ask us to do it if that’s what they really mean?

I hear ya! My hub is the same way and it drives me nuts! I’m the one that has to dress myself and the kids and pack everything up and then decide where the heck we’re supposed to go. Its just NOT WORTH IT! And, yet, its boring for us to be stuck at home too, but you don’t hear us whining! (Usually.)
