My husband and I knew each other since elementary school. We never dated until shortly after high school graduation.

I can't believe this post... this is CRAZY... I am seeing a LOT of excuses... Immoral behavior is immoral behavior, whether you make excuses for it or not. Once you find out that a man is married, that's when it should all end. Right there right then. No excuses.. It doesn't matter what the reasons are, I have read NOTHING on here that makes sleeping with a married man the right thing to do. It saddens me that you are all parents with children who are seeing your actions. As parents we are supposed to be teaching our children right from wrong. How the hell are we supposed to do that when we are doing wrong ourselves? Do as I say not as I do??

Also, if you're a married woman, your main concern should be your family. There is no reason to add another man to that equation...

I just really have a hard time understanding the thought process behind being unfaithful or the other woman.

Morals and ethics have just completely gone out the window.

*ETA*
BTW.. I am a little vocal, I am a christian so I guess you could say I'm religious. But I am VERY happy in my marriage and we are both faithful.

My little one is turning 2 next month also and I am having the same problem.. I need somewhere cheap, and I'm looking in the NOVA area..

I guess what I mean, is that I never have much time to spend on any one thing ya know? We get up, have breakfast, get dressed and ready for the day, than we have until about 1 to do whatever out and about stuff outside of the house, before I have to come back here and cook, and than she takes a late nap, I clean the kitchen, only to have to make her dinner when she wakes up and clean it again, and than we do baths and bed.. I don't know if broken up was really the right way to word it but I dunno, I don't have any time to donate to anything else unless hubby is off or I stay up really late.

But the loves, and the snuggles and the smiles, and giggles will be waiting for you when you get home... Days off will be super special, everything's more special when you have that new addition to your family..

That is a long day.. I can definitely relate... Because of DH's schedule, My days feel broken up and hectic a lot of the time, and I don't feel like I'm getting to do as much as I'd like with my DD, and I was just wondering how other people dealt with this.

Do those "swimmer" diapers not work or something? I've only taken DD swimming once (both this summer and last summer she kept getting ear infections) and it was in my MIL's pool.. We used those diapers and there are also plastic pants that go over diapers.. I was planning on taking my little one to the pool at our apartment complex.. I guess I just assummed those things worked.

agreed with 21:17, yeah will probably be fine as long as she's used to switching back and forth..

I'm not selling my home and I have two of these in my kitchen!

Most of us are above average, at least according to most of us. It's new math.

Exactly!!


Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. Not everyone is attracted to the same things in a person. I really believe that my husband is HANDS DOWN more attractive than I am, but he feels differently. We started dating right after high school, and have been together ever since, and we're 25 now. I was 18 when we started dating, and one of the things that attracted me to him the most even back than, was his paternal side.. More than his looks (which don't get me wrong, he is an attractive man.) You never know what these hot or attractive people see in these less attractive people. To each his/her own. If they are happy, than so be it, who is anyone else to judge?

I do have a friend who waited for religious reasons, and she doesn't regret waiting. Her life is also much slower and, to me, much more boring - the totally typical suburban mom. A lot of people who wait have a certain narrow view of life.

I love how she has to put down others in order to justify the decisions she made. Perhaps your "friend" thinks you're a slut and finds your life...lacking.

Oh right, pp must be a "slut" because she didn't wait till her 30s to have sex. And clearly, her life is "lacking" because she didn't wait at least a decade for the "one." Ridiculous.

How is that statement anymore rediculous than saying people who waited have a narrow view of life??? My husband and I didn't wait.. but we were each other's first and have been each other's only's.. Looking back, I really think I could and probably should have waited.. just because in my opinion, (and call me old fashioned or show, or narrow or whatever) it's really the right thing to do. Women used to be singled out and ridiculed for having sex before marriage.. and divorce was something just didn't happen.. Now it's abnormal NOT to have sex before marriage, and a couple staying together forever is rare... It's actually a shame.

Have you been doing any bottle feeding with her before this? Because if she's used to going back and forth, you shouldn't have an issue, just make sure that you continue pumping if possible to make sure that you still have plenty of supply when you return.

Well, I would ask her what she would typically earn per week if she was doing it full time and go from there..

20:21 I completely agree with you... Parents pressure themselves and their children to keep up and/or surpass other children.. We need to let our children be children first of all, and second, I think that instead of worrying about these things, we need to REALLY focus on the morals and ethics in our families instead of achievements.. JMHO.
