You and DH met at a party in a shared row house in Columbia Heights during your first jobs out of college/law school. Your drink of choice was a fancy cocktail made with organic bitters, while he enjoyed a local IPA. You bonded over similar experiences as part of the artsy crowd and southern schools dominated by a frat scene. Now you're the typical millenial DC family, contemplating where to move in the suburbs and over-researching the BOB stroller fiasco.

Jack is a good, typical oldest child. He's on the quiet side, but adjusting well to K. Ginger is a strawberry blond little girl with big eyes who likes to sing to her stuffed animals. You think she is adorable, but your jerky little brother has made some snide comments about how she reminds him of one of those spooky kids in a horror film, and you haven't been able to shake the comment. Little Millie is just a baby, and has already been more work than your first two combined at that age, but you are so glad to have her. Your husband is slowly coming around (he was more uncertain about the decision to have a third, but tends to defer to your on these things).

You're a journalist by training, and currently freelancing and enjoying this time with your little brood. DH makes a good salary at his law firm, but sometimes seems to be second guessing his career given the jerks he works with and the long hours he needs to put it. At heart, he's a a family man, but the reality of your situation is that he really needs to dig in at work right now.

^ PP here, a MONA, not a NOMA haha

You did everything "right." Joined the "right" sorority at your SEC college (even though you're from Jersey), joined the Junior League after graduation, had your eye on country club memberships from the get-go (you don't like golf, but I'll never tell, xoxo gossip girl), married the "right" guy (Green Book and Chevy Chase Club membership?! Sign a girl up! Sure he snores and is kind of bland, BUT YOU MADE THAT CHOICE SIS AND YOU OWN IT), and gave your kids the "right" names. Now, you're a NOMA who's doing that "back to the workforce!" program at McKinsey (thank you, healthcare policy experience that you hated when you were a 22 year old on the Hill living in an English basement, but it sure helped with recruiting!), you're thisclose to getting off the Washington Golf/Country club waitlist and yet ... inside, you're not happy.

You want something more. You want to be independent and travel the world. Teach yoga and make music. Live on the beach for a while. Do all the things you never did. You dream about it as you run around doing errands, but is chilling at Bed Bath and Beyond really your truth? NO. You'd unfollow KJP on Insta, but the pushback outweighs the clout you get from when he regrammed you, sooooo...

As to the kids ... Jack was named after JFK and is already a handsome and charismatic little guy; he's very comfortable with adults and has a good handshake (manifestation COME THROUGH!!! You had your eye on a political career for him). He's going to the local public to be "one with the people." Ginger's cool. She's what you wish you had been at her age -- independent, artistic, and already her own person. She might try for Beauvoir next year, but she's happy helping you around the house for now. Millie's chill. She's a little baby bopping around, not being too nosy and living her best baby life. You secretly are proud that you named her Millie and all your "preppy" friends love Millie's in Spring Valley cos "Millie's like your daughter, right?"

Any guesses for us . I’ve alwy loved this thread!

I picture you as a pretty, conservative-looking blondish brunette with chin to shoulder length hair. Not a lot of makeup or fashion forward wardrobe. On weekends you wear athleisure, but not lululemon- more of the Keens and t-shirt variety. You’re down to earth and nice. You’d like to lose 15 lbs. Your husband is handsome and his friendliness can come across as insincere, because he has a job that requires a lot of schmoozing and business development. How off base am I?

So glad someone tried!

I like to think I'm pretty, and if you mean conservative-looking blondish brunette as professional, yes, but if you actually mean that I'm a conservative, PTA mom type, nooooo (I'm hella gay, as Mae says). You got the hair color and length right! I don't usually wear a ton of makeup, but I do wear makeup each day. I love fashion, though, and am always smartly dressed and trying out new styles. If you're going to find me in athleisure, it'll be on a Sunday in the afternoon, but I do tend to go with Lululemon and the like. Keens are horrid and I chuckle to myself each time they're suggested as comfortable footwear on the Beauty & Fashion board.

I like to think I'm down to earth and nice. I don't really need to lose weight as I try to work out each day and eat sensibly. My wife could technically be described as a handsome woman in that she's very put together and she has strong facial features (sharp jawline, good cheekbones - think Angie Harmon or Jordana Brewster). She's a federal agent, though, so she can come across as standoffish as she likes to watch and listen rather than talk a lot.

I’m the PP guesser. Glad you responded. I don’t know any same-sex couples with more than two kids! That’s why this thread is fun when it’s not nasty.

Ew. I liked you a ton by your kids names, but then you explained yourself and were beyond obnoxious, rude and self-important. :vomit:

My question: were the first three kids given names you just really liked, and then Caroline was named for a recently passed relative with whom either you (or your wife) were very close?

Maeve and Wyatt are actually the family names. Finn and Caroline are the names we gave from the list of names that we liked.

I just wrote a 17 paragraph story on Liam to make you feel better...
But I deleted it by mistake! I navigated away and then closed the page...aghhh!

Suffice it to say he is Liam...he is yours and you are proud!

Is he a red head?
