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.

Yes and I can't afford to do 98% of that.
I have a double stroller, two parks within walking distance and a Walmart within walking distance. Most days not even a car to use.
SAH life would be amazing with disposable income though. I live through you, basically.

I acknowledge that most of what I do requires disposable income. But knowing you personally, I know your life doesn't involve sitting and eating bon-bons while your girls bother you, which is the typical SAHM stereotype. You and the girls do a lot of fun things together. Which is the basis for my point. SAH isn't always awful.

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?

Pinterest solves everything

Beef tongue with arugula, salsa verde and caramelized onions

Plus lovetit counts can't be seen on mobile, so I need meaningful rankings to decide who best to respond at times.

Is there a Golden Ratio for love tits/posts?

NCU (because honestly who could be?!), but: I have peed in every non-public shower I have ever used.

[Justbecause]

Years ago, I dated this guy for a few months. I was all pink heart eyes over him. We fooled around but never did it because I was a virgin and he had the most enormous dick. Didn't seem like a good one to start with lol.
He left to be a sailor and find adventure.
Fast forward two years, I went to a wedding with his brother and we got back to their place late and I was pretty drunk.
I ended up doing the deed with my ex and JFC that was a mistake!!
I'll save the TMI but the recovery time was not short.

A poster's number of love-tit to post count ratio is far more telling to me than their level. Srynotsry.

Hmmm... I started posting more because I looked creepy having so many tits with not many posts.

Is this another confession?

I'm not going to make them celebrities either though because we are not a celebrity forum and I don't know enough about celebrities to get the rankings right so people would complain.

I'm probably just going to put regular gemstones in because changing the entire system again would take a few hours.

But But but but...I want my unicorn someday!!

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. 

Lengua tacos are delicious, you should make some.

That sounds delicious, minus the beef tongue.

I agree, but I also get what she is saying. If I stayed home we would not have money while yes I could do free things I know I'm not cut out for staying home and it is the reason we are oad (well big reason).

Both working and staying at home parenting are both what you make of it and what works best as a parent so I hope we don't have a sahm vs working mom debate

I don't care what anyone's ranking is. It doesn't even register for me. I know you all by avatar. The end.

On MIL and sex...

My MIL was visiting a couple years go and mentioned that she needed a new vibrator. (She lives in a remote area and doesn't understand the Internet.) So MH and I took her to Babelabd where she asked our advice on vibrators. We helped her pick one out.

My FFWC: I didn't even realize this was note-worthy until today. I had forgotten that it happened.

You win DIL of the year... well for that year anyway

Love tits should far exceed double what you post. If you post more than your love tits? Slow down and relax because people are "no1curring" your shit.

Better start commenting more on bovine penii.

Are you the expert on cattle, or is that someone else?

I've been a full time working mom and a SAHM. Both were equally hard in different ways. There are days I would kill to go back to work. But this is what works for my family so I make the most of it.

I think people should be wary of generalizations either way. Let's just leave it at being a mom is hard and we're all doing the best we can. Actually this applies to most things parenting imo (bf vs ff, etc.)

I don't really care what anyone does. But if you call my life closed, I'm going to throw some shade.

If my SO was uncomfortable by the groping he would stop hanging out where he was and come home and then tell me. I am not saying that her husband is lying I am just saying that I would wonder what I am missing.

Also if the lady is that drunk that he is helping her to the car and she fell I would not assume that she knew what she was grabbing and my So other probably wouldn't either.

I need to know the context of the conversation to really have a say.

Have we asked why he escorted a drunk lady to her car rather than call her a cab?

He wasn't escorting her. He and his buddies were all leaving the bar.

Open/Closed Life is also subjective. I work FT, by choice, but feel my life is often "closed" because I spend all day at work to rush home and tend the needs of my kids to go right to bed and repeat all week. There is part of me that wishes I could go w/ my book club or other mom friends to play dates and fun things I always see them doing together during the week.

I do me and you do you. Whatever makes one person happy and fulfilled and works for their family doesn't make it "closed" or "open". I'm not even sure what a closed life means?

I never cared if H peed in the bathroom while I was in there but our current master bathroom is so tiny and it's causing major issues. I need to have a CTJ with him about it.

Also, he almost gags himself when he brushes his teeth and I can't be in the bathroom when he does it. I run away.

I shared this on my birth board already, but if I want to have a convo with DH that he has been avoiding I just talk to him when he is on the potty. I find I get his best attention when he is taking a poop.

So because I'm only slightly exceeding double tits to posts, am I only a half-ass?  Or a whole one?

Need to know for future posting.
