The rules can bend based on what works/doesn't work for us (which is why I agree with your last one).

I did end up hiring someone to clean my house a couple times a month. I also can not seem to lose the baby weight- in fact I have gained some.....maybe this summer right? Sooner or later something has to happen-either I fit into my old clothes or I buy new ones.

My mom was a tit nazi and when I told her I was going to stop breast feeding Sam when he turned 6 months old you would think I had told her I was going to sell him to the gypsys or something (not that they would have taken him, trust me!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333402968377000814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554962983477029310.post-25404326363103549102010-04-23T12:02:52.795-04:002010-04-23T12:02:52.795-04:00I think as long as mommies at least TRY to breast ...I think as long as mommies at least TRY to breast feed, they are definitely still good mommies :o) Way to give it a shot, lady!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554962983477029310.post-75400197010657139522010-04-23T11:59:55.475-04:002010-04-23T11:59:55.475-04:00Super list!

I just wait for one of them to misbehave, and then the punishment is to vacuum or clean the kitchen.

If we have unexpected visitors, I tend to meet them on the porch, and invite them to join me at the picnic table. Which would be great if it didn't have all my 18 year old's clothing on it. But that's a therapy session you'd have to read about later. <br /><br />You don't want ot vacuum anyway... it scares the kids, right?GasStation Cappuccinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168317573960874330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554962983477029310.post-17657705399771494842010-04-22T23:24:43.710-04:002010-04-22T23:24:43.710-04:00this is really such a fantastic post. particularl...this is really such a fantastic post. particularly about the cleaning house thing--my house is an utter disaster. no exaggeration, i would be mortified if i had an unexpected visitor. actually, i probably wouldn't even let them in the house. the husband and i are slobs in training--between school and work, we just don't have the time. people always ask me how i do it (grad school and kids) and i tell them 'easy. i'm fat and my house is dirty.' there's only so much one can do...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554962983477029310.post-44198657467656382362010-04-22T22:28:01.171-04:002010-04-22T22:28:01.171-04:00How true!

For the record, my kid watched TV (and still does) and he is no worse for wear, and his vocabulary is incredible and I'm convinced that some of that came from the shows he watches. <br /><br />He also eats off the floor and I only breast fed him for 2 weeks, so I'm right there with you!!The Mommyologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957108098571392880noreply@blogger.com
