[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still "cool" in Shaw, and pregnant with my first. I get shit all the time for being pregnant and selling out and resigning myself to a life of not going out all the time any more and just general judgement.

But you know what? Now I also have some new friends who are new parents who are really excited for me. Bc what are my options? Hanging with people who truly pity me that I can't have five drinks on a Tuesday? Or figuring it out?

This wave of judgement from others is a daily hangover during any life transition. I'm living it and it really hurts, but big picture? Who cares.[/quote]

SO MUCH THIS! Completely agree and glad you're not letting people like that ruin this life transition.[/quote]

how old are you, 22? I have a very hard time believing anyone actually cares that much that you are pregnant. more likely you are projecting your own insecurities. also you will likely decamp for MoCo the second your kid does not get a PK3 spot at CMI. [/quote]

Eh, we are in Shaw (8+ years, now) with two kids in elementary school. They are happily settled at a charter. We will reevaluate if and when we think school isn't going well or if we grow out of our rowhouse (seems unlikely). Until then, living the urban dream.[/quote]
