GM's thread about nothing (43 Viewers)

Why isn't the photo available anymore?
together at some point during my Bell Biv Devoe phase,
Z Cavariccis?
Absolutely. I just texted that photo to red dress left of Angrywife and heavy purse red shirt a few minutes ago because they're both 26 and have no idea what Z Cavariccis were. They just looked at my funny when I told them that I wore egglplant colored pants with a two foot long waist and a tag on the front in high school.

It's amusing to think that people in the 80's made fun of 70's fashion.

 
26, huh?

sigh
Yeah, so they were born around the time of Kirk Gibson's home run, or four years or so before Clinton took office. :mellow:
O6 years after George HW Bush was elected. Or about 20 years before Obama was elected. Or about 102 years after the Homestead Strike.
I think it's so cool how you got electricity installed in your soddie.
And somehow I really screwed that up before editing. Carry on. I'm blaming it on the cake vodka.

Yep. I went to front row girl's roller skating birthday party. And we've gone to the gym together a few times. But, nobody's worried because I'm clearly something like her cool uncle and nothing else.
Girl on the far right in boots seems nice too.

Yeah, somehow the "cake vodka" defense doesn't quite measure up to, "You should see the other guy!"

If the guy wearing sunglasses isn't blind (and I doubt he is because a) he's smiling, and b) he's looking directly at the camera) then please punch him in the mouth for me.

That girl is the only realistic actual marriage threat in the whole group. Good eye.

She loves shotgunning beers, "What Does the Fox Say?" and hanging out in the tailgate bus if the wife and kids aren't around.

 
I've really switched sides on Arcade Fire. I don't even know who to goof on. :(
Which side are you on now, Captain Details?
I was pro-, that last album and some of their goofy bull#### has me more on the anti- side.

Some bands just hang on way too long, amirite.
No idea you were ever pro-AF.

GM: ARCADE FIRE IS A CANADIAN (THE GAY PART) INDIE MUSIC BAND WHERE ALL THE MEMBERS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN LAID NOR SEEN THE SUN (no offense)

Last two tours were pretty phenomenal. They were a great ####### band.

I still don't believe you.

 
He thinks she is the most amazing thing ever
she is. remind yourself of that daily. because it's true. kids are a miracle. they also need your undying devotion, love, attention and patience. especially at this age. they aren't acting up/out to get at you, or get under your skin, or to anger you because they love one parent more than the other. they're babies and they are learning.

mrs. furley went through this same stage.. only it lasted quite a while.

stress.. being tired.. being alone all day with the baby. it's freaking exhausting. it's miserable. it's okay to be pissed off, to vent, to be cranky, to be tired.. it's all part of being a new parent.

one of my biggest arguments with my wife was over her need to feel "perfect'. she had this belief that every mom in the history of the world before her was the absolute model human being who never ever had a care in the world.. every mom knew exactly what to do, how to do it and when.. their babies never whined, cried, made them upset.. because they, too, were perfect. WE (more specifically she) was the only mom who EVER EVER had a hard time connecting with her kid. she was, again, the only mom to feel overwhelmed. why? because she was 1) a terrible human being and 2) the worst mom to have ever mom'd. ever. and it wasn't close.

none of this was coming from me.. it was coming from EVERY OTHER WOMAN WITH CHILDREN THAT SHE EVER TALKED TO. (save maybe 1 or 2 who were honest.. who gave the best advice)

it's like women feel this sadistic need to screw over subsequent new moms. this idea that they had to deal with it on their own, so everyone else should suffer. or baby amnesia really is true and you just forget with time. screw that, though. not buying it.

one piece of advice that we read when researching why our baby would be a perfect angel at grandma and grandpa's.. then come home and have a tasmanian meltdown... is that your baby is "shy" or reserved with people who he/she is less familiar with. it may come off as cutesy, quiet, happy baby but it's more that he/she isn't comfortable being themselves in the presence of others. they may be exhausted, hungry, tired but they won't let loose with both barrels (generally) in the presence of strangers.

it's when they feel most comfortable, most secure, most protected that they really let loose. it means they love and trust you most. they knew they can cut loose, let down, vent and cry because their security blanket is there to love and protect them no matter what.

so.. in a tortured way... your baby is hardest on you because she loves you most. not to say she doesn't love Romo a whole lot but she sees you all day and she knows you answer the bell when she needs someone. she feels most comfortable with you.

furleywife took a long time to absord this info. she wasn't buying it. my girls were all about dad for the first 2 1/2-3 years. and they still love me to death.. but when they need a hug, or they feel scared or they need extra attention.. they go to mom. mom is their rock. mom is the one they lean on. it has been that way all along but it wasn't as easy to see at 3 AM when the baby just puked down her shirt and she had to get ready for work in 3 hours.
so... that advice sucked but... hang in there. you'll feel "it" when you aren't running on fumes 24/7. in about 5 years. or so. maybe.

i'm going to sleep for a few hours. til morning. hopefully.

i'm exhausted. seriously. i haven't slept in 5 years.

eta: i see everyone else has covered it. i'm too tired to read everyone elses posts. good luck.
That advice didn't suck at all. Thank you for taking the time to put all that down.

And thanks to you all for the encouragement - nice to know I'm not a monster.

Whoa, slow down there. Hating your kid may be OK, but there are plenty of other ways you could be a monster. Let's not put words in the GMTAN's mouth here.
