rungirlrun I hear you on needing space. I'm the type that needs alone time. Can you send them out on an errand or for a date together so you can get a break?
I'd forgotten all about the stream of visitors after baby's arrival, not looking forward to that! I remember last time how stressed I was with breastfeeding and timed everything perfectly for some of DH's friends to visit, and they showed up 45 mins late. Not cool.
katelou - from an education perspective it's better to go for a more basic model. It forces kids to use more imagination. Same with play food - blocks, bean bags, sticks etc are better than plastic play food because they can be a multitude of things whereas a plastic banana will likely only ever be seen and used in play as a banana

They have given me space some of the other days, but I think today I just wanted to sit there quietly and eat snacks and maybe nap so I was extra annoyed. I know I can't kick them out every nap. My mom is currently making dinner so I should stop being a brat :-)

W-O-W. A girl I know Is selling tickets to her wedding reception and plans to have cash-grabby stag n doe type games.
Wut.
I mean, I'm not exactly queen of etiquette but this tacky even to me.
So how is this invite worded? I'm so confused by this. Does everyone need to buy a ticket? Like even the bride's grandma?
Her FB post went like this:
We don't want to have a stag n doe because friends of ours haven't done very well with them but we want to have a good party! We're going to have a very small ceremony with just family and then a stag n doe style reception with games and prizes and stuff and sell tickets for it.
So basically she doesn't want a stag n doe because she doesn't think they make a lot of money but She doesn't want to pay for a reception, so she'll charge people to get into that even though they aren't invited to the wedding.

What is a stag and doe?
It is a party generally thrown by the best man and/or MOH and/or wedding party with lots of drinks and food and games, and door prizes etc where the goal is to raise $ for the bride and groom (generally for the purpose of helping them pay for then huge cost of a wedding). Tickets are sold to get in to whomever - doesn't have to be people invited to the wedding.

Ray OMG, so tacky! And a Facebook invite to boot! I would love to know how many people actually attend... And if I were going, I wouldn't be bringing a gift! And what do the guests wear? So many questions...

Maybe it's just me, but if you want a giant wedding you should save up and pay for it yourself. If you can't afford a big wedding then have a small one. The size of your wedding doesn't have any bearing on your marriage.
Ray WTAF?!? What is wrong with people acting so fucking entitled all the time? FFS, I would never ever go to a wedding I had to pay to purchase a ticket for. Does she think she's Beyonce or something? GTFO with that nonsense, that makes me all ragey.
