I need to build a bathroom in my basement so that the bedroom down there can be a legit guest space. They can have a big bedroom, a living room, a bathroom, and peek into my creepy stashes.

Our basement guest space with bathroom has completely changed my feelings on houseguests.

Come. Stay (in the basement as much as possible). Babysit my kid at least one evening if you are related to me. It's all good.

I just text my sister and said I need to get out of this house before someone loses a life. I guess I can see how someone would think being a SAHM was a nightmare lol

I have two meetings for a charity event I'm chairing today. And I'm having someone watch my kid during the afternoon. I need to squeeze in a bikini and brow wax and a quick Trader Joe's stop. Total nightmare. So closed off. Please someone rescue me.

Are we equating SAHMs with the Amish now?

Once I'm done churning my butter and using my loom, I'm going to post my big dick story. Not sure if it's a confession or belongs in the blinds thread.

Here please!

Yup. I feel like as a boy mom I will spend so much time un-brainwashing him of all the societal norms of "boys will be boys" and all that shit.

It's weird how quickly that stuff gets to them. Obviously I'm all about teaching them equality, but DS1 still says stuff like "you can't be superman, you're a girl!". Excuse me?? You can pretend to be a flying tiger dragon but it's outside the realm of possibility for me to pretend to be a boy character? Sit down, my child. Rant time.

It works both ways.
I took DD to a gender reveal party a few weekends ago. I asked her if she thought the baby would be a boy or girl because the couple asked that we wear pink or blue based on our guess. She said, "But mommy, I thought there was no such thing as boy or girl colors."
You got me kid. Touche.

I have a confession.

I'm afraid that I overestimated myself when deciding to TTC. Now that I'm pregnant I'm absolutely panicked at the idea of 2u2 and I'm 99% positive I can't handle it.

You can do it. Like most things in life it is all what you are use too. You will get the hang of it.

Srsly though. I WFH and my charity group is like the only reason I get out right now.

Confession. After working late,I once back out of my work garage forgetting to close the drivers side door. So my door was 1/2 ripped off. Then I used yarn and huge cutting scissors I found in the garage to tie my door back onto my car and then drove all the way home that way.

The next day there was a company wide email sent out asking where the cutting room scissors went. They were still in my trunk at the body repair shop.

Do they only have one pair of scissors?

FFWC: we always use a towel under me when doing oral sex or using a vibrator. I have a tendency of completely letting go and relaxing during orgasm, which can lead to urination during orgasm, even if I went to the bathroom right before sex.

You pee when someone is going down on you?

To be fair, that requires a certain amount of disposable income. Like, I couldn't do any of those things without dragging all my kids along with me because I couldn't pay a babysitter. I stay home because we'd be in the red if I was at work and paying for 3 in daycare. So I think some of us do feel isolated sometimes. I know I do way out here in the boonies. But that's why I have you guys.

I think SAH is what you make of it. If I sat at home with my kid all day, I would go nuts. That might work for some people, it wouldn't for me. I don't literally "stay at home". During the year, we go to the gym every day, there's a kids program my kid goes to there. He's signed up in art classes, music classes, he starts school three days a week in the fall. During the summer, we go away to the beach for the whole summer. We have lots of friends with kids, working and SAH, we do fun things with them, mall, library, playgrounds, etc. We have memberships to zoos and museums. Plus, I'm involved with charity work that keeps me pretty busy. Yes, I would go nuts sitting inside with my kid all day. But that's not what my life is.

FFFC: I have farted in R's hand before. He decided to slow dance with me one night after work while we were dating and he dipped me, I farted and then cried because I farted in his hand. It was also the first time I had ever farted in front of him.

At first I was reading this as if you did it on purpose and was like...

Wow, that is a detail-oriented company.

Regarding grooming, my kid's hair is super long and all I know how to do is a ponytail and a braid (not a French braid, just a regular one). I'd love to cut it. MH DNW her to have short hair because she's "so pretty with it, she'd look weird with a short cut."

Sidenote: she looks just like me...

And I have a buzzed pixie cut. Side-eyeing you, H...

I think the closed existence comment was specific to the religious homeschooling communities. Being unable to SAH was a separate comment in a list of opinions.

It's not. I have like a million friends on the Internet.

The "closed life" comment is condescending AF.

Your life is as open or closed as you make it, regardless of whether you SAH or work outside the house. I've found that SAH has helped me be a more open and confident person, but it's such an individual thing.

Silly UO about food:

I think Kraft Mac and cheese is way tastier than Annie's Mac and cheese. There, I said it. Everyone always talks about how great Annie's is, but I feel like it's a bland version of Kraft.

I know neither of these are gourmet foods, but sometimes I need a little comfort Mac and cheese.

I also don't usually like fancy Mac and cheese. Judge away.

This opinion is popular with me.

Amazing MacGyver skills.

And scissors are serious business at your work.

We bought a 1/4 of a cow and split the meat with my brother. It came with a tongue and a liver. Those are buried way deep down in the bottom of my freezer. I have no idea what to do with them. I don't want to waste them but HELL NO to eating cow tongue. Suggestions?

Maybe see if one of the olds in your family would want it? You know, they learned to eat every part of the animal back in the depression.

Just don't take it out of your freezer and set it on a basket of freshly laundered sheets and then forget about it for a week until you notice a stench and realize your mistake and the sheets now look like the scene of a slaughter. 

My dad would definitely take the liver but my mother would kill me if I offered it. I don't think even he would eat cow tongue.
