i'm glad this strand exists. it's great relief to vent. |
RE: The sharing issue stuff...
Wow... Y'all need to reread your stuff... how mean it all sounded! The original poster was complaining that OTHER moms come over and say "You'll get your turn, junior in just a few minutes" then proceed to stand over top of her child expecting their own junior to get his turn. That's rude. If child "A" is playing on said swing... go do something else until child "A" is done. HOWEVER, I'm sure she doesn't mean to let her child swing for an hour while the other kids aren't getting turns. It's ridiculous of you other moms to insist that she means this extreme. My mom pet peeve: Moms that actually say they have other people "pegged" but don't you dare judge them. |
Moms who use these forums for personal feuds. |
moms who have a nanny when their children go to school so they can play tennis and get drunk with their girlfriends |
I wish I had a nanny so I could do those things ![]() |
moms who use other moms when it's convenient |
wow, i reread some of the stuff i wrote. it does sound horrible.... i guess it's better to vent rather than do the kind of stuff we vent about. ![]() |
Yeah, but i think life would feel a little empty after a while. |
ok so I also feel bad for what I wrote...the mom i'm talking about is not sooo bad. i wish i had a nanny too. |
I love having a full time nanny even though my child is at school all day becasue I NEVER get to do ANY housework or cooking or laundry - just love it - so put that in your pipe and smoke it! |
Wow! I'm so glad your house is clean. |
Don't need you to be glad for me - I'm glad enough thank you! |
I didn't start this strand, but this doesn't make sense to me. The woman with the nanny and kids at school -- I don't get it. What do you do when the nanny is taking care of the kids or when the kids are at school -- you're not cooking or doing housework? A little confused. |
Run errands, meet with landscapers, decorators, contractors, real estate agent (we are trying to buy a vacation home) shop for clothes for the kids, myself, husband, grocery shop and prepare dinner (well, I do cook), play tennis, take yoga, get waxes, facials, etc., meet with friends, volunteer at school, run errands for husbands business, read books, practice the piano, visit museums or galleries, attend lectures, sometimes check out a flick that I know my husband wouldn't feel like seeing, get the car detailed, scrapbook, organize and pay household bills, garden in the summer, walk the dog, entertain out-of-town relatives when they visit - which is a lot, write articles for my alumni magazine, chair one fundraiser per year, usually. I also am taking classes towards a teaching certificate. My kids are 3, 6 and 9. |
