I have 2 today:

Fuck a majority of crowd-funding campaigns. I just read an article today about people crowd-funding their child's birthday party. No, just no. Look, I understand some people need help with certain dire situations but your kid's birthday party isn't one of them.

The second, work has been slow this week so it's been like a mini-vacation away from my baby. I don't know how SAHM do it. Nothing but respect to them. I can't do it.

That can't possibly be an unpopular opinion...

Right @adulruna? I have no idea how a person can become so entitled. And have friends that contribute and think it's a good idea.

If you go look at gofundme.com you would feel like it was... Some stories are truly heartbreaking and others are just special...

My coworker's wife started a gofundme page so she could save up to leave him. She said that he was an abuser and all this other nasty stuff that apparently wasn't real.
They're divorced now. And if anything I think she mentally abused him but wtf do I know.

OMG. WTF. That's a lifetime movie special right there.

The selfish fundraising is an irritation here also. I absolutely understand needing help for families going through illness and not being able to work or things that you can't help. What bugs me is when you choose to not pay your rent and then ask for donations. Seriously, stay away from Taco Bell and don't let 50 other people's teenagers live with you and maybe you wouldn't have to be facing eviction. Seriously happened with my 13year olds former friend (not the reason they are no longer friends). Oh and then the family shared it all over fb. They didn't make a penny. I'm embarrassed that I was married to someone who is now living in an rv with his slut and their/her 6 kids in the walmart parking lot. I can't imagine asking for donations for something I caused.

[anewadventure]

thelittlesrunmylife you clearly know so interesting people in your life.

[yuristar]

I love Brussel sprouts and I hate coke.

[thelittlesrunmylife]

anewadventure You have no idea!!! It's not always a good thing, but when you have lived in a town of 15k-ish people almost your entire life, you know everyone and their good, bad and ugly laundry.

I need a fucking break. I'm a SAHM and that is my choice and I fully stand behind that choice. However, it has been over a month since I was away from my baby for 45 mins. And I need a fucking break. It makes me a better mom when I can have some time to just be me. Not mom, not wife just a woman.

[criscbish]

hurricanenellie yes woman, you need a break! If you like the gym, some of them have daycares (of course, you'd have to check it out to make sure they're competent but you'd be nearby).

My UO today: I enjoyed the treadmill today. (Who am I!?)

I'm struggling with this too. LO #1 was a good sleeper and took to the bottle right away so I never thought I'd be the mom who's kid won't take a bottle and won't go to sleep for anyone but me. I desperately need a bit of "me" time.

Thanks ladies. I think I'm going to hand her off to DH when he gets out of work for a couple hours today if he gets out of work early enough. Wish I could get a hotel room and just nap and read and take a bath!
