I confess that I hate, hate, hate my brother-in-law. He is a short, pompous, gregarious, loud, moody, pathological-lying, ex-roid using, bodybuilding egotist. I have never met a person who is uglier or more hollow on the inside. If you can conjure an image of a sleazy and slick salesman, you can get the picture. He is mean to my sister and they only got engaged because she caught him cheating. The secret part is that my distaste for him affects how I feel about my nephew because he looks exactly like my BIL.
I am also insanely jealous of the fact that my sister is a SAHM. She has a horrible marriage and I wouldn't trade places for the world, but I wish my husband made enough for me to stay home too. |
Your smugness is similarly annoying. As your inability to write grammatically: "Your annoyance of them"? Please don't be offended. This thread is the place for minor judging, after all. LOL. I thought the topic was confession, not judgement. |
LOL. I thought the topic was confession, not judgement. Me too. I almost wrote that myself. Perhaps many confessions incite judgments in others. |
I want to be a SAHM and I feel like I am wasting away my baby's childhood by going to work each day. I grew up in poverty though and can't fathom walking away from my 6 figure salary, or denying my child our current lifestyle- it isn't opulent by any stretch, but we are very comfortable. I want him to have all the experiences I missed. |

.I can and do "do it all". Work as a successful professional, keep a nice house, cook meals, have a happy family, have well behaved children. If I can do it, I expect others to be able to do it. Why? |
Why? Are you the mom from American Beauty? She had it all too... |
What I am saying is that just because that particular poster can work, cook, clean her house and stay organized, I don't understand the leap to expecting everyone else to. Some people have high energy. Some people are depressed. Some people can stay focussed. Some people obsess. Some people want their house spotless. Some don't care. Some people need 5 hours of sleep a night. Some need 9.
It just seems like an unrealistic expectation. Other than that: I confess to what most of you confess to, and apologize for having nothing original to add. Except I don't masturbate often, and have not cheated. Oh, and about the 25-30 partners thing? I'm totally there. More than 30 and no shame, ladies. When I took a vow for forsake all others, I had a VERY GOOD IDEA of what I was forsaking. It's made my marriage stronger. Oh, to the posters who want to make money: There are some reputable companies that pay you to take surveys. Opinion Outpost is probably the best one I've found (they pay cash). I've been with them for 3 months and made about $75. There are other companies who give you gift card to places like Amazon, which to me are just as good as cash. And this other company send me products I get to test and keep. Which also saves money. Go to www.surveypolice.com. It's amazingly accurate. I wish I had a confession. OK, I have one: I don't like going to the park with my children and will try to avoid it at all costs. I don't know why this is the case. But I don't do the park thing. Daddy does. |
Okay, I am not offended - and I accept your annoyance. ![]() |
I confess that I read all 23 pages of this thread, not all in one sitting. |
Oh, there's more than enough smugness on both sides of this issue. I've been harangued for turning down meat and seen people get really, disproportionately angry about vegetarians. Hell, I've had people give me a hard time for enjoying Amsterdam Falafel ("Why would you ever eat falafel when you could have a burger?"), or the vegetarian Indian lunch buffets at Nirvana! And I'm not vegetarian, I just don't eat a lot of meat. Really silly stuff. But I also recently unfriended someone on Facebook - she's vegan and I tired of her sanctimoniousness. No, being veggie or vegan does not automatically make you a better person. I've known my share of veggie (or perhaps I should say "soy-based") a**holes. |

Because he's black? |
I confess that I believe people who respond to other posts with grammatical corrections have second-rate intellects, and simply (a) can't come up with a pithy response to the original point, and (b) HAVE to get the last word in.

Good for you that you're happy and in a happy relationship. Now get off the dole and pay your share for your childcare! |
