Why is it that people with kids

[blueta2]

None of my friends ever had kids

But maybe she's trying to find excuses not to go out. Maybe she really just wants to be with her family?

Oh, well, that may be the case then. I don't have anyone else to watch mine when a babysitter flakes on me. Maybe her husband is an incapable idiot or refuses to watch the baby...lol?

No telling.

Yeah, Im thinking thats the case.

I got shit on. I have a feeling she didnt even try to set up a sitter until Saturday even though we made plans weeks in advance.

Im stuck until her weddings over which I'm a bridesmaid in....to do her a favor. Fuck. I am too fucking nice.

that could be.

she can have them then. lol

and when i have kids, I will know how to balance my kids with my life! i will never turn into on of those chicks who ends up friendless. Friends are important! When your kids move out and your husband plays golf all the time, who will you shop with?

maybe im just bitchy. i dunno.

Oh, well. That is rude then if she is just flaking on you. She should probably apologize if she wants to keep you as a friend.

I'm overreacting Im sure.

My feelings were kinda hurt but oh well.

i'll get over it.

plus I sent the hubbie out of town to have QT with her and i get blown off.

so i was fucked sat night scrambling around for plans feeling retarted

lol i'll live.

 

[heatherrae]

LOL...

I used to complain that once women became mommies that they never continued to talk about interesting things but would go on and on about every little boring detail of their kids' lives. Then, I became one of those women. LOL. I think that is why it is hard on both the mommies and the childless women to continue to interact after the babies. We don't try to be so gosh awfully boring/annoying, but our kids are such a huge part of our lives when they are really little, especially.

LOL OMG I cannot STAND that. Drives me crazy.

Its not a friendship deal breaker though, just an eye roller! haha

I know one day I'll do that too.

I know I have pissed people off. I get to see my kid like once a month. It's not set up most of the time. Plans in the last minute change for me all the time. Some friends get pissed off but they need to understand my kid comes first. I'm sure they would do the same in my situation.

Sounds to me like she probably just didn't want to go, and used her child as an excuse to get out.


I know that when my wife wants to go out w/her friends, I watch my son. Now we don't go out with our friends all that often, but occasionally its nice to get out and when those times come we have to compromise. I'll watch him while she goes and has a night out w/her friends, and she does the same for me.

And then when it is time for us to have some "mommy and daddy time"...well...that's what grandparents are for!
