We plan on buying a house in the next year. A lot of my favorite houses on Zillow are in not so great school districts. My desire for historic home with character is causing me to question my children's need for a top of the line education in suburban development hell.
What if you start planning weekly or biweekly activities for both of you to do that require some type of physical activity? Going to a nature park (requires walking), maybe window shopping (more walking), laser tag or paintball (a bit of running), that way you aren't saying it directly "let's go exercise", and maybe if he sees he struggles a bit it will motivate him to start exercising more?
If it weren't 18 degrees F with a windchill below zero every day, I'd totally be up for going out and doing things like that.
But he does love to rock climb and laser tag sounds awesome (is it preg-friendly though?). We also have a stationary bike, but he complains every time he uses it... way back in the day when we both regularly used it.
Sorry, I live in Florida and keep forgetting how bad winter is everywhere else. I suck I know. Sorry
I think laser tag is preg-friendly, there's no physical contact and you can just hide in a corner while H runs everywhere. Maybe you guys can go to a boomers type place, and also do basketball shooting, air hockey.. All require some type of physical activity without it being too much and too obvious.
Maybe we should break down the semantics of all of this?
Because I've said before that I think if one individual is personally taking down an entire bottle of wine to themselves each evening without fail, then that is excessive drinking.
I have much much personal experience with excessive drinking. I've mentioned I have a brother currently in in-patient rehab and have other family members with extremely unhealthy relationships with alcohol. Drinking a full bottle of wine a night or the equivalent of whatever other alcohol is probably too much drinking, especially when sustained over long periods of time. Sometimes people go through things because LYFE and there are periods when drinking amounts ebb and flow. It's okay, it happens, but after a while it's definitely a problem.
But having a glass of wine a night or even drinking a bottle of wine to oneself on random night here and there is not something that I would call excessive drinking.
I just wanted to quote this because I thought it needed repeating.
If you're a frequent heavy drinker you have more to worry about than your fertility.
Agreed. MIL did recreational drugs while pregnant with DH. He was born with a cleft palate. She claims this happened to him because of a gene passed from his dad's great uncle. Apparently he had a club foot...
WTH is she thinking? Couldn't possibly be from the time you broke into a dentist office to do 'whip its' off the Nitrous oxide.
