Living in the South...

[fionnathehuman]

Sucks.

I mean, I love living here but I hate how people have kids like rabbits!
Everywhere I go I see young women with 3 to 5 kids And pregnant with the next.
What the hell, I don't even feel like going grocery shopping sometimes. I don't have a fucking break!

Well, that and I am sorry for being away for so long. My mom is still here (not that I want her gone) and we've been very busy.

Hope you ladies are doing ok.


Question (gtky ? maybe)
Have you ever had corn ice cream??
It is amazing!! You should try!

Yes, my mom is making all sorts of brazilian goodies...

fionnathehuman, I am glad you are having a good time with your mom, how nice!I have never even head of corn ice cream, how does that work? Is it just ice cream made with corn bits? I do like corn, but never thought of it as something that would go with ice cream, interesting! I have no idea where one would even get corn ice cream.

fionnathehuman sorry your having such a rough time. I get green with envy sometimes seeing people who weren't even trying on their second or third kid. Life is so unfair sometimes it's hurts!!! I've never heard of corn ice cream. Is it something only found in the south?

[fionnathehuman]

Typing for the 2nd time... this app drives me crazy...

It is frustrating... sometimes it feels like a competition of who has more kids. I live in a city close to the Duggars family and a lot of people share they insane view on birth control.

Now to corn ice cream.
I have never had it here in the US, and while ao was looking for a picture to post here I found out that it might be a Latin American thing. It seems very famous in Mexico.

I am from São Paulo and it is very famous there too specially in the country side. There are even few stores along the highway to the small cities that are corn specialized. They have corn juice, corn ice cream, cakes, pamonhas ( this one tastes like tamales but "no spice"; it can be savory or sweet).

It is smooth... the corn is blended with milk and strained after, so it has no bits ( at least the Brazilian one). It is super sweet... the recipe calls for condensed milk...

I love corn ice cream! Can't say it's my favorite flavor because I am all for chocolate, but it is delicious!

I am sorry you are surrounded by so many having kids. I know exactly how you feel *hugs*

I am glad you're having a good time with your mom!

And I am absolutely intrigued by corn ice cream...it has to be good for you, right? Because corn?

[fionnathehuman]

Haha well, it is good for your soul...

Good enough for me

I live in the South and have had two miscarriages, if that makes you feel any better.

I'm sorry for your losses.

[fionnathehuman]

No, it doesn't...

I am sorry for your losses too.

I know everybody have their own stories and that it doesn't mean that, because they have kids they never had a loss. It is just frustrating see people with so many kids when I am struggling trying to have only one.

I don't know how it is for you, but for me it is like this:
Last Saturday I went to a pizza place for lunch and saw about 5 pregnant women ( some with kids ) than, on Sunday I went to a museum and saw multiple newborns, pregnant women and families of 5/6.
I went to store and the ladie who was helping me tried to be nice and asked if I had kids and after seeing my mom she added : " I am sure she can't wait to be a grandma".

It sucks.

fionnathehuman, I am so sorry, I can imagine how difficult it is to feel surrounded. After my losses it was hard to see pregnant people too. But I may not have been as surrounded as you are. But I do feel like they are easier to notice especially since they have something you want. Hugs!

thanks for the clarification on the ice cream, I was so confused, sounds yummy though!

[fionnathehuman]

It is true, we do notice it even more...

I think that, maybe, this might be the time the " winter sex" shows up more evident ( if I wrote that right! ) Haha!
The area I'm at its growing too, so that might be a another reason.
I just have to keep the cool.
