Tell me more about this. What sites do you use? I want to do this with our rowhouse in DC, but afraid no one will want to trade with a house cluttered with kid crap! (oldest is 3.5, youngest is an infant)

The vibe I get on home sharing sites is that everyone is an empty nester or a DINK.

Oh, do tell...


Reckless abandon. It was amazing, dangerous and would do it again in a heartbeat


How is it dangerous? Why did you pick the 20something?


No protection and he was hot and hung and firm.


This sounds like what every average college age female would do. Unless you are 45 and married, this is NBD.



I’m a 50 year old married woman in an open swinger marriage and this is decidedly unapproved by DCUM standards.

I can’t wait to do it again and hope to hook up in under an hour next time.


Are you going to sleep with your daughters college age boyfriends?

I would think that the problem is me, except I don't have that problem anywhere else.

But something about this town, it's like the place where mean people come to hold winner take all death matches.

What part of my life is unapproved by you all? Who the hell cares? You all have no taste--one only has to look at your hideous echoing modern farmhouse mcmansions to get that, or spend fifteen minutes next to you on a "very important call" at the gym.

Agree. I like you. We would get along splendidly.

I don't like window screens so didn't order any when I changed all the windows of my house last year.

Everyone was like, I can’t believe you’re joking about his plight or your addiction. True story-hand on the Bible level truth-he took a dump on the sidewalk 10 minutes later. I was like, “see?

I’m pretty sure we’re using more toilet paper in our house and I’m pretty sure the reason is me. And cakesters. And I’m pretty sure DCUM won’t approve of any of that lifestyle choice.

I’ve bought all of them at every Safeway, Target, and Walgreens (the only stores I’ve seen them in locally). I did a Target delivery order at work the other day and I was beside myself when I saw they had cakesters available. The shopper called to say they were out of stock and to see if I wanted them to substitute anything else. I said no thanks because regular Oreos are a different texture and he said he totally understood and lamented how hard it is to find cakesters. At first I was happy to find a kindred spirit, then I felt really irritated because he’s been eating my cakesters! I ordered all the ones I could find for under $7/box on Amazon. I’ve had to resort to having to order them from target online.

Otherwise I’m a healthy eater. Normal weight, no excesses. I eat at nice restaurants. I do hello fresh and eat salads and all that BS. Cakesters though. They’re like heroin.


You could do a comedy routine on this alone. so funny

Why do you think DCUM disapproves of this?

I do disapprove of the level of bragging on this thread. "You all hate me because I'm HAPPY, unlike you sad harpies." I mean, I didn't before....


Read the relationships forum, most women here hate or at least resent their husbands. It's not all sunshine and roses, mine gets on my nerves sometimes. But I think I have a sunnier outlook about it than most moms in DC (and most moms here, a smaller subset of that).

I think all of these are great except for the crappy school district. Do you not worry at all about the quality of education your kid is getting?


I do worry about it, but I am a "change the system from within" person. We plan to move if it gets untenable
