Thirsty Thursday/ UO's

[mrscatfarmer13]

I hope everyone that had to go out this morning had a safe commute, I heard some of the secondary roads had quite a few ice patches.

What's on tap today?

This may or may not be a UO: I hate 50 Shades of Gray. I have never even read it, but I hate it. From everything I've seen and heard, the book basically glamorizes sexual violence against women. Maybe I should read it in order to validate my opinion, but I just can't bring myself to read such garbage.

You should read it. It's actually more about the freedom for women to choose their own kinds of sexual fantasies without fitting into the "norm" of sexual practices. The book discusses everything is of her own choice; they have safe words in place for her to use, and there's really only one incident where miscommunication gets a little weird in book 1 and she kinda blasts him for it. So as far as women's lib is concerned- this book is not problematic for me in that regard. It's basically as "rough" as she likes it. And the book explores women being the dominatrix as well. It's not really well written, but it's definitely one of the better writers of the romance genre imo. There are lots of bad romance writers. This one has a good story.

It took me about 6 months to be convinced to try it. I was anti 50 shades too.

I'm pretty sure that M thinks I shouldn't sleep. I was up with him twice last night. Both times, I tried to get him back down for 40 minutes before I tagged in H. H goes into M's room, and less than 2 minutes later M is asleep (in his crib) and H is crawling back in bed! This has been going on for weeks, and I'm trying to figure out when H became the freaking baby whisperer. The crazy part is, we've compared notes and our "routine" for putting M down is exactly the same. Whatever, H can start sleeping with the monitor on his side of the bed.


RE: 50 shades
I read the books, they weren't the best in terms of writing quality, but still pretty hott. I see what your saying SS, but BDSM goes both ways, it's not all about a man dominating a woman, the book even touches on this as it delves into Christian's past. I agree that reading the books would probably change your view. BDSM isn't really my thing so my knowledge is limited, but I know it's more about power, pleasure, complete trust and humiliation, with the exception being sadomasochist(sp?) who really are all about pain. With that said I don't think the books give a realistic depiction of how this type of relationship/partnership comes to be. Let's be real, a completely inexperienced 20something virgin is going to just jump into such a complex relationship, and they live happily ever after??

Also, I have zero interest in seeing the movie.

My bad, sorry for the lack of clarity. I was just referring to the fact that there are several local ladies on your BMB, or at least it seems that way.

Gotcha! Yes. There are. Wasn't sure if our board was showing as booming or something on the home page or something. There is another girl on there pretty close to us too. We're trying to convince bazingaa to hang out and meet up with us. She's awesome.

[mrscatfarmer13]

bazingaa Come play with us! We don't bite...hard.

Good morning!
Decided to skip story time because of ice. We haven't been since before xmas, and with DS'S social anxiety it's going to be stressful to get him back in the swing of things.

Speech comes today to discuss schedule and our expectations. Should be fun? My Step mom is also coming to stay here for a week or two to help out. With my Ptl contractions I just can't do as much as I like, hubby and DD can only pick up so much slack. I feel bad to have her stay for so long, but I would rather not take the procardia if I don't have to.


As for 50 shades, it's okay to some what show what the bdsm lifestyle is like. It is so much more complex than they depict and it is so poorly written it makes me stabby. I think that someone who was actually involved in the lifestyle even in a limited aspect could have written it so much better.

As for the age of the vixen, that's how a lot of creepy old guys can rope girls in. They are established and young girls see the security.

Sorry for my novel lol. Tl;dr 50 shades doesn't even scratch the complexity of that type of relationship.

[bazingaa]

Aww... I feel so special.

[sstwinklinglites]

Thirsty Thursday: I feel kinda crappy today. I was kinda dizzy and nauseous trying to feed LO this morning. Then started crying because I asked DH to get outta bed and take over and it took him like 30 min. to effing do it, so I got PO and started slamming things and yelled at the baby when he knocked a spoon full of food outta my hand. Nothing phases him though and he just laughed it off, but I felt shitty about it. All this leads me to put a bottle of wine in the fridge.

[mom2boxers]

Hugs sstwinklinglites. Enjoy your wine.

This sucks-enjoy the wine, I enjoyed my fair share of wine and beer while on my business trip...back to reality :-(

I love how the little sayings change each day when you like a post. Keeps things interesting.

I'm slacking on picture taking. My LO was 10 months 5 days ago and I still need to take a pic with his sticker.

Grey's & HTGAWM! I'm sooo excited! DH and I watch these together.

Also, thanks for the love tits girls. I feel better, but not great. I hope I'm not coming down with something right before my trip.

[mom2boxers]

Today I will try to make each post only contain one thought to make my post count go up.

I saw that on my computer but it doesn't show up like that on mobile.

Get better sstwinklinglites. There is a lot going around!!

[JoBub]

This morning I somehow hurt my tailbone while wrestling my baby alligator getting my kid dressed. So instead of going to the gym, I think I will go home and drink wine.

My UO: I think a lot of people make way too big of a deal about first birthday parties. And all other birthdays, too. Maybe I'm just a party-pooper.

[JoBub]

sstwinklinglites Hope you feel better soon. My DH caught what's going around, and has been down and out with a nasty illness for the last two days. He lost so much weight/water in two days that his wedding ring doesn't fit anymore. I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

I completely agree with your UO. While, i'm sure i"ll plan a little first birthday party, it will be no where near the magnitude of what I have seen/heard about. I want it to be special, but c'mon. Also, my DD will be 7 months old on Feb 4th. People on my birth month board are stressing me out because they're already talking about all of their plans and what they've already bought, when they're sending out invitations, etc for first birthday parties. I'm over here all, ummm...i'm just trying to make sure I remember to dress my baby.


Edit: Spelling

My son's first birthday was just immediate family and a friend my daughter had over. He survived, my DH grew up as a witness so they celebrated nothing. Bday get a bit more exciting around h re about 3 or 4 when they actually create friends.

[mrscatfarmer13]

For M's first birthday we had about 15 people, family and a few close friends with kids. We didn't do anything elaborate, but making sure the house was clean was enough work to make ensure I was exhausted, lol.
