And they make dining so difficult. I feel terrible that I think this way because I am very disturbed by industrialized farming and hardly eat meat anymore myself. I totally get why people are vegetarians but they still annoy me! Esp vegans!!!
Also, so many women are just veggies so they can cut calories and have an excuse for their eating disorder!

I confess I totally agree with this.

Me too! And I am like 90% vegetarian. I rarely eat red meat and eat chicken or turkey probably 2x a week. I love vegetarian foods - love cooking with beans, love veggie burgers, etc.

I think it's the "I will NEVER eat meat" from vegetarians that annoys me. Also, I have known several anorexic women who are vegetarians and I do think it is an excuse to be able to cut a food group out of their life. Not saying all vegetarians are anorexic obviously, but certainly some do use it an excuse.

90% vegetarian? I think you either are or aren't... So if you eat meat you are not a vegetarian.

Don't nitpick. You know what she meant - she eats vegetarian 90% of the time.

I confess that I think anyone who equates a vegetarian diet with being smug needs to move back to their hillybilly stomping ground. It's 2009 and this is an urban area; is being a vegetarian even an issue? Snore.

Vegetarianism isn't an issue but smugness continues to plague us, urban or not!

I confess I wrote that because I am procrastinating in a big way (which is my reason for being here 99 percent of the time I'm on this site). Please help me get to work....Please...I'm begging you.

I confess that this site makes me absolutely paranoid whenever I go out where moms congregate. I confess that even though this site causes said paranoia, I cannot stop reading everything I can. I wish my 2 yo would take a nap so I could waste more time on here.
I hate my SIL to the very core of my being, but really don't want her to hate me.
I want a better sex life but can't bring my immature Catholic self to bring it up.
I love staying at home because it lets me be lazier than I'm allowed to be at work.

I confess that I told a couple non-parent friends about DCUMs swapping sexual services. It will probably become a new conversational meme.

How did that go, by the way?

Wow. And you are a judgmental angel. I hope that never happens to one of your kids. Karma is a bitch.

You hope *what* never happens to my kids? That they would have 2 out of wedlock births by age 22 with 2 different men (neither of whom seems to be in the picture any longer), no college education, taking childcare subsidies? Or that they would channel their anger at those who have worked hard and NOT MADE THE SAME BAD CHOICES (affluent people who make her "SICK") and thus avoided the same unenviable situation she's GOTTEN HERSELF INTO?

At least my post was a confession.

22yo here...it's not 1930 anymore! Surprises happen, that's how my first daoughter came about. The pill is only 99.9% accurate. Furthermore, I will be getting married to the second father (and at the same time he will be adopting my first child) but seeing as how I am pregnant right now we are going to wait so both children can be a part of one of the biggest days of our lives. (They do deserve it!!!) I have NEVER touched crack a day in my life nor have I even seen it in real life and I have slept with far less men than some of the woman have confessed to sleeping with on this thread. (No offense, I am NOT calling anyone a whore). So chill out, loosen up and stop being jealous that other people can be truely happy in "non-tradtional" situations. SMILE!!!

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

dole?Hey, I am doing my best! But $300/week or even $250 a week is just way too much if I want to continue feeding my kid and clothe her properly! I work full time as does my boyfriend and am not on state or government funded assistance but through a private organization that accepts donations from the public. That’s not your tax dollars. That’s citizens who want to help hard working parents that just don’t quite make enough but don’t want to use the system give their children a quality education. Sheesh, you all don’t give up do you? And when I have extra money, I pay more to the school than my tuition asks for, so don’t think I am just some lazy cheap person.

I must confess that I hate the working mom basher that trolls this site. I want to hit her.

Honey, who are you defending yourself to?? Some anonymous and bitter pill out in cyberspace somewhere?? You know you are doing what is right for your child, you know you are doing what is right for yourself, and you originally said you were happy! Why are you letting he/she/it prove your wrong? You aren't a trained seal, waiting to jump through someone's hoops -- but you are entertaining them nonetheless. I have been impressed with your postings. I have found them to be very thoughtful and articulate, something impressive for a 22 yr old. SO WHAT that you had your first baby at 20! It means you will have so much more time with your children. I didn't have my first until 1 was 35 -- you will have 15 more years to enjoy with her than I will have. Moreover, you will be a young grandmother. I may be 70 by the time my kid has a kid.

Lastly, I grew up with parents who were "on the dole." If it wasn't for public assistance, I wouldn't have had food or clothing, I couldn't have afforded college, and I wouldn't be making 100k+ now. Hang in there, it will pay off in the end.

In the meanwhile, get off DCUM and take your daughter out to play, it is gorgeous outside, and BE HAPPY, like you said.

Anyone that is self-righteous is bound to get served a big dose of karma.

Maybe her husband will be laid off and she won't be so smug.

Not saying I wish that on her, I wouldn't wish that on anyone, just saying in my experience karma is a bitch.

Ok, this is so bad and i dont admit this out loud. BUT I think I lose a bit of respect for people if they are super Christian. Like if they really believe Jesus walked on water and really belive he is the son of God. For some reason my prejudice doesn't extend to Jews, who I sort of put on a pedestal because the Jews I know are generally funnier and smarter than the average person! Also, I look down on people who believe in superstitions and New Ageisms like astrology, crystals, etc.
I know these thoughts and beliefs are totally UNFAIR and I have to try to get to the bottom of why I feel these ways.
But these are supposed to be confessions so I guess I am supposed to be conflicted about what I admit!!
