Completely wretched spelling!!
Posted: 6/18/2009 2:08:42 PM
There have been MORE than a few people I have had to stop talking to on IM because I simply have no idea what they're talking about. Fragmented sentences, horribly misspelled words by people who insist they have been born in the U.S.
Any advice on how to handle that delicately? Do I make up some other reason to stop talking or should I be more blunt?

The myth of a woman's so called sexual peak.
Posted: 6/6/2009 6:48:04 AM
In my personal experience, a few weeks before I turned 29 it was like a friggin switch was flipped in my brain. Sex was always nice and fun, but since then it is AWESOME, I want it all the time and pretty much can't get enough.
Could be a fresh batch of hormones, or a fresh batch of self esteem, who knows?
But me likey.

Long Hair

I can't speak for most girls but I prefer men with short hair, even musicians lol
Not sure why, but it's always been my preference :)

Single Parent, with children 24/7
Posted: 5/4/2009 10:37:39 AM
I have full legal and physical custody of a 7 and 4 year old. The only way I don't go bonkers is being blessed by my family. My mom, brother, dad and stepmom, and my ex's family all pitch in and will take the kids overnight for a "sleepover" every couple of weeks giving me a much needed break since affording babysitters is out of the question.

I also am very active in church, and attend a moms group every week where childcare is provided.
Basically I would not be able to do it on my own, nor would I want to. Each of those wonderful people have something different to offer my children that I can't. People want to help, it just takes YOU being able to let them.

looking for older women but why?
Posted: 9/3/2008 8:01:55 PM
My experience with every younger man I have dated, not just chatted with online, but actually gone out with is that they DO want that one thing, and that's pretty much all they want.
It's soured my feelings towards younger men. While I realize not every young man is like the ones I've dated, if a younger guy was persuing me it would take some convincing!

Smoking, non smoking, with, or without children seating in a restaurant?
Posted: 9/3/2008 7:51:48 PM
ok, I'm not even going to read the other responses. Here is my take as a parent:

I have kids, they act like kids! There is NO WAY I would ever take my kids to any place nicer than a Red Lobster price range place. And even then it would be an earlier dinner and we'd be outta there by 6ish.

Parents who think other people aren't being bothered by their kids are delusional and kidding themselves, big time. When I'm out at a nice restaurant with a partner or friends, even though I'm a parent, I'm there to relax my brain and be with other adults. Not filter out kid noise to hear the grown up talk.

There are some stepford kids (not mine! lol) who are used to that type of environment and how to behave appropriately and I say bravo to their folks! But don't forget to take them to Chuck E. Cheese once in awhile so a kid can be a kid ;)

You or the inlaws?
Posted: 8/31/2008 9:54:42 PM
My experience with my in laws has be entirely positive.

However I believe once you marry, your loyalties go to your spouse (unless illegal and/or harmful activities etc., are happening).

over 30 and still living at home
Posted: 8/29/2008 10:19:42 PM
I moved in with my mother a little over 3 years ago when my (now ex) husband failed to come home for 6 weeks. At the time I had no job, no money, a two year old and I was 3 months pregnant.
I don't quite feel like an "adultecent" since I contribute to the bills, pay for my car, insurance, cell phone, gas, stuff the kids need (no child support unfortunatly). I do the cooking and the cleaning since I work part time and my mom works full time (I think that makes me the wife lol).

Fortunatly she owns a 4 bedroom home (thanks to my dads crappy lawyer)
and with our schedules, we really don't see much of each other.

It is nice to know there is another caring adult in the house if my kids are working my last nerve. It means I can run to the store and unfrazzle for 10 minutes and leave them home, or go take my own "time out" in my bedroom. It means when my sister in law was assaulted and in the hospital, I was able to say there three days straight until she died. And when my father in law went into a diabetic coma last wednesday and my mother in law called me, hysterical, I could drop what I was doing and go to the hospital.

Why would I want to live on my own? just for the sake of beng able to say I live on my own in a crappy apartment and have to have food stamps to make ends meet? No thanks. I'd rather live in a beautiful home with a fenced in acre, swing set and hot tub with a parent who loves me and my kids :)

Women insisting on a Christian man
Posted: 8/29/2008 9:53:34 PM

not only does he have to be a Christian, but he has to be of my denomination and believe exactly the way I do" attitude.


I won't go so far as to say THAT, but I thought I was safe enough when my husband was Catholic and I was prodestant. Same basic belief in the trinity, thought it would be no problem. The problem was that he thought just being Catholic was enough. No mass, no lifestyle change, no nuttin. He chose not only to not participate in his "religion" but to chastise and make fun of me for wanting to participate in mine. I won't have that again. Lesson learned. I need a partner who takes joy and shares in my beliefs since it's a big part of my life, not just something I do on Sundays and holidays.

In Christianity, a marriage is supposed to be "Christ centered" picture a triangle, with Jesus in the top position and the couple in each remaining point.

Rather than fumble through more explanations, here is an interesting link if you're so inclined :)

leashes?
Posted: 8/29/2008 7:23:53 PM
I'll add on that I've never had a need to be"wrist buddies" with my daughter, she's just a very different person. Especially now, at 6 years old she often helps me with her 3 year old brother and holds on to his other hand, playing "one, two, three, weeeeee" lol

My 3 year old rambunctious son and I are "wrist buddies." We have a strap that goes from his wrist to mine while we're holding hands in a crowd. I never wonder where my curious george is, and no one can get him away from me either! :)

Ever had a Friend with Benefits and was it a good thing for you?
Posted: 8/29/2008 10:22:13 AM
You are not the only one! I have a FWB arrangement that is wonderful. We would NEVER make it as a couple due to differences in personal beliefs, but we are both attracted to each other and make great friends. We don't scrump every time we hang out, sometimes we just chill on the couch and watch a movie. Both of us need that physical touch and find a comfortable place in each other.

We are off limits, sexually, to each other when one of us is in a relationship, but we still remain friends. and I know, if he's not available, I don't drink anything with vodka in it, cause that gets my motor going lol

I agree with the other posters about Christian dating sites. The numbers are a LOT smaller there since it's not free, which i can dig, i don't want to pay either lol

However, I am a Christian involved in a fantastic church and it is very important in my life, I'm not about to make the same mistake as I did with my ex husband. Believing that it wouldn't be a big deal if our religious beliefs were different. That may be true if neither person makes religion a part of their daily life, but if you do...well lets just say I won't be "unequally yolked" again. I've seen it take a toll on too many marriages, including my parents.

That doesn't mean however, that I don't associate with non Christians! one of my bff is an athiest, others are "Christian" (meaning they're not jewish) but don't go to church, whatever. I'm not going to NOT be friends with someone because they're jewish, gay or athiest. I'm just not going to date them lol

Ever date someone with BPD? (Borderline Personality Disorder)
Posted: 8/29/2008 7:22:29 AM
I married someone with BPD, it was horrible. I thank God every day that he has moved 1300 miles away, even though he only sees his children once or twice a year now since I do not allow them to go to his home.

I got the book Stop Walking on Eggshells and joined a couple yahoo groups for BPD and it has helped a LOT I basically had to grow a pair and he doesn't threaten or try to bully me as much any more. And when he does, I remain completely calm, tell him I have to go and I am going to hang up now. and then, i DO lol he's always still talking and he almost always calls back again and again but just don't answer.

We recently had a visit where he came to michigan to visit the children that went pretty well. He knows he is not allowed to be at my house, or stay at his parents home anymore, so he stayed with a friend who also has a child and my daughter stayed 2 nights with him. He managed not to freak out at all which made me feel much better about our situation.

I still groan when i see his number come up on the caller ID, but at least I know how to handle myself if things start to go downhill. Educating myself on BPD has been invaluable!!

how long after you were divorced or seperated did you start dating again ?
Posted: 8/29/2008 7:13:27 AM
It's been almost 4 years since I've been with my ex husband and I'm just starting now to casually date. After about 2 years I was starting to consider being ready, now, I'm pretty close lol

My next relationship will not not not be like my marriage. He will be kind to everyone, no matter their station in life, be able to hold a job, respect and share my religion, participate in family life and most of all, not be a big fat cheater!

Full time mommys
Posted: 8/29/2008 7:04:07 AM

OK so i thought of this this morning
I see those moms at home raising there children as familys and they never complain, look like they love what they do, have husbands, and just plain look happy all the time. ( most of these are ones that are stay at home moms not working however some working moms too.. but most working moms to me seem to be haggered and stressed alot) any one else see this?


I'm a single mom in a moms group comprised totaly of stay at home, married moms. I'm the only single mom and the only mom who works. When all the moms are together, trust me, they will complain! They DO love what they do, love their husbands and are happy but they also get stressed and harrassed by their kids/husband and our moms group is a safe place to let it all out. The grass may look a bit greener over there but hey, as a single mom with sole custody I don't have anyone telling me how to raise my kids, that I shouldn't let them watch TV all day once in awhile, have spaghetti for breakfast or get annoyed when i set up the tent in the living room :) Every situations has it's pros and cons. The important part is to focus on the pros and enjoy your babies while you still can!
