I don't remember how I found it, but recently I have been going through and reading all of your posts and I think they are wonderful. <br /><br />I am 25 now and have never pictured myself as a mom. As soon as I got married I started getting the dreaded question..."so...when are you guys having kids??"

And yeah, one big thing that drives me nuts. Kids are allowed to put their grimy hands all over food and everything in stores, yet they make a big deal over a 4 pound dog that stays in my arms at all times... ugh.<br /><br /><Corrinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05950184412786914815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-36363932876136469702009-01-12T11:15:00.000-08:002009-01-12T11:15:00.000-08:00That would make me want to go to their house and j...That would make me want to go to their house and just light up a cigarette without asking (even though I don't actually smoke). Then when someone would say something or give a look, just act surprised and say I figured if it's OK for me at my house I just assumed it was OK at theirs.

The thing that 2 years of my husband's chronic illness and 3 years of infertility have tought me is that we live in the society of egocentricity and entitlement and people ALMOST NEVER stop to think about how what they are doing will make someone else feel.

I guess since it was a pee diaper (and not a poop diaper), I kept my silence to keep peace in the family (our family tends to always be on the verge of a fallout, so I try to pick my battles).<BR/><BR/>Hi Ellie,<BR/><BR/>I agree with you that not Childfreeeeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01776614837813912148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-24332068430522837252009-01-05T08:32:00.000-08:002009-01-05T08:32:00.000-08:00I agree with the title.

I always had a changing pad with me AND a little towel for such routines. AND I would ask if I can do it on somebody's couch before doing it. If for some reason I had to do it asap, and there was no time to ask, I'd just do it on the floor (still, with the pad and towel, of course).<BR/><Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211844307344094231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-55788829903587626752009-01-04T16:01:00.000-08:002009-01-04T16:01:00.000-08:00I think YOU'RE being inconsiderate!

I have never, nor has anyone I have witnessed, ever changed a diaper without putting a bath towel under the kid.<BR/>Mishaps happen. The last thing you want is poop on your furniture, or for the kid to pee mid-change.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363847055178499778noreply@blogger.com
