I've the seen the word DH in a lot of topics lately, and I have no clue what it stands for, but my only guess is Darling Husband. Am I right??
yep, you are right! (darling, dear, dreadful!....really any "D" word that you can associate with a husband :laugh: )
DC - darling child
DD - darling daughter
DS - darling son
SO - significant other0 -
Well why not...I never get sick and apparently I now have a cold and I'm feeling kinda crappy.0

When I was young (30 yrs ago) we had to ask to be excused. Now, with my kids and hubby, I get the table all set first. I don't put the food on the table until I'M ready to sit down with it. Maybe that will help, unless they try to help by putting the food on the table for you before YOU are ready.0

Oh thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it's like you said,,,, My husband either takes the food to the table himself, or he goes ahead and makes a plate while the food is still on the stove... then goes and sits... I get my baby (15 month old) a plate and then by the time I sit down... He's all ready to go...
Potato buttered, meat cut... etc.etc....
then... I barely get a salad in my bowl and he's almost done! lol..0 -

This may sound super vain but it hit me hard today. I hate shopping with skinny people and I am surrounded by a family of them. I have hit a plateau just can't seem to come off of it for several weeks. Whether truth or not I was convincing myself that all the exercise was toning muscle and that I would see the difference if I just pushed through. Today my DH decides we are going shopping and is super hurt when I don't want to try on new dresses. So I gave in and humored him. Not only did the size I hoped to be not fit and I am just about to tears in the dressing room when he sends my kids to find me. MY DD takes after my husband and is a twig. My DS is more like me but I am trying to teach them to be healthy now regardless of the scale. Anyway, my daughter is looking for me and another woman in the dressing room says to her, "She's upset honey. Mommy is just too fat for the dress now."I could have died butt pushed myself not to say anything or to cry in front of my kids. I want them to learn to eat healthy starting now and to not think about being fat or skinny but to just be healthy
That woman needed a drop kick...it is not anyone's business to discuss your health/size etc with your kids...We all have our own histories etc that make weight such a personal issue. I have 3 little girls and a little boy. I personally struggled with an eating disorder while in High School. One of my kids has the same body type I did as a kid and I am desperate to teach her healthy attitudes towards food and exercise etc..that is why I am so sensitive to other people interjecting their rude comments to my kids. My private tears might be my way of dealing with my emotions before I pull mysef together and teach a more positive lesson to my kids..."ie..this dress is not the right one for me right now...beauty comes from finding something that makes you feel great regardless of size or price...this one didn't flatter my strong body...etc" I am very careful to have healthy attitudes and to pass those along..so when I eat a "treat" we treat it as such..an occasional treat to be enjoyed fully..but not for every day..I want them to know that with exercise your body needs fuel..healthy food that helps give energy...I want them to learn that all foods are worth giving a shot...someday broccoli or asparagus might be your favorite...but that if you don't like it after the first bite you don't have to eat it until next time when it might be a bit different...I want them to learn that your body is beautiful and strong and powerful and soft all at the same time. I want people to let me teach my kids and not tell them I have an eating disorder when I am doing the right things.0 -

OK Got a new Vent entirely off the food subject. When my kids get invited to a party/gathering with only a few days notice and no official invitation. :grumble: Now I am supposed to jump up and get them there What happened to the good old days when if you wanted someone to come you send them an invitation with plenty of notice

I get really annoyed when I cook a meal and then by the time I set down everyone else has their plates already filled ready to eat away. I haven't even made it to the table yet! Then, when they finish eating before me, they just get up and leave me there.
I'm tempted to quit cooking for them. GRRrrrr....
My kids start asking me for seconds before I sit down the first time. That gets me. But, once they are finished and leave I can eat in peace:)0 -
How do only spend 150.00 a month on groceries? What am I doing wroung ? Please tellMy husband's pop habit is annoying me! We could save about $10 each week, which would add up in a month, if we could not buy all his pop. I've seen him drink 5 cans in a day. Sometimes more. He won't drink anything else either. Gahhh.
And the cans pile up at his computer desk. Right now I count 10, at a glance.
Refuse to buy them unless they are on sale. Diet Pepsi fiend hubby over here. I tried a 3 a day limit on him but it often goes to 4. Considering we eat so healthy I spend a maximum of $150 a month on groceries & essentials ($40 of which is Diet Pepsi on sale) on average $80-110 a month its no big deal. There are worse habits to have but its $3 a 12 pack or NO POP FOR YOU!! (If you got the Soup Nazi Seinfeld reference there, thanks!
Here’s the mini fridge we put into our theatre room (4th bedroom) but don’t show your hubby, he’ll get ideas LOL!

I just got my degree in criminal justice and am applying for police academies. This typically comes up in conversations, but most people don't seem to approve. They all think I should be going to law school because I'll make more money that way. If I wanted to be a lawyer, I would! I would make an AWFUL lawyer. They don't listen to me when I say that, however, because they spend the rest of the conversation trying to convince me to change my mind. I think I have a better idea of what I want for my life than a complete stranger!0

:grumble: Why is it that when I go to the gym and get on ANY cardio equipment, that someone who runs extremely fast and weighs NOTHING always gets beside me?? There's always tons of other equipment available when this happens!
Do they prey on big slow people?? Does it make them feel better to be beside someone slow? lmao!! GRRRrrr!! Go away so I can sweat and breathe hard alone! :grumble: 0 -
This has nothing to do with weight....it is just a vent.
So, all of my family lives in Texas (I live in North Caroina). I only make it to Texas during the summer and my family NEVER comes to visit me. I told my mom the other day that I will not be able to make it for a visit this summer because the cost of airfare for 4 people is just too much and we won't be able to drive (2 days there and 2 days back) in the amount of time that we are off (husband can't get two weeks off back-to-back).
So my mom called me the other day and said she had wonderful news. She would be coming to visit for my son's 3rd birthday at the end of May. She also mentioned that she would be bringing my nephew with her (he is 4). Great! So glad that she will be coming I haven't seen her since the summer and I miss her terribly. So the world is perfect, right? WRONG!
She calls me yesterday to tell me that she can't get time off at the end of May. Could my son have his birthday party the following weekend (begining of June). SURE! I'll change his party so you can come. No big deal. I want to see you.
Then she says....oh wait, Logan's (my nephew) birthday is going to be that Monday and his mom won't want him to be gone the weekend right before he turns 5. Sorry...I won't be able to go after all.
ARGGGH!!! :mad: :explode: :devil:
Here's an idea Mom....come by yourself and don't bring Logan with you!! Or come visit me during the summer when I'm off of work.
Oh, but no...Logan is her baby and she has to be in town for his birthday and he has to travel wherever she goes.
Sorry...I'm just sooooooo annoyed. My mom is by best friend (aside from my husband) and I hate living so far away from her (moved to NC for DH's job...not because we wanted to). I hate that she is not close to my kids (both physically and emotionally). I hate that I don't get to spend time with her and that she is only willing to come visit me if she can bring my nephew with her. :sad:
Ok...enough of my pitty party. I feel better now.0 -

Why is it going to get interrupted?
Most everyone I work with knows I don't eat our food (I work in a pizza restaurant, and I even bring in my own dinner every night.) So often, this one girl will say "Want to share a pizza?" I always reply with a simple "No thank you." She'll sometimes go on to say something like "Come on, we'll get this type, it's healthy. The only bad thing is the crust." I reply to her "Yes, the crust, the pound of cheese on it, the oil that's added to the toppings, etc." Drives me crazy. RARELY will I eat our food. The other day she asked "If there wasn't goat cheese on this, would you eat it?" I said "Not today", as in "it's not a cheat day". She rolled her eyes and laughed. She's so judgmental, if you think my heating habits are crazy, then don't ask me about them or make me feel like a freak.
When she gets extra judgy, I tell her "It's okay. You're young. I ate like that too when I was 25. It'll catch up to you someday, you'll see. Then you won't think I'm crazy."0 -

I just looked and i don't think it's going to be interrupted, I think it's just shortened to one hour instead of two.0 -
I could do a whole page of vents, I hate that everyone thinks just because I'm a stay at home mom that I don't do anything, really people????? Also I'm not a free babysister just because I'm home during the week, don't get me wrong I don't mind helping someone out here and there but I get asked all the time.
My other big one is how everyone rolls there eyes when I measure out something or read a label, yes I want to know how and what is going in my mouth. I don't know why it bothers everyone so much.
My last one will be how people think just because I'm trying to get my family to eat healthy with me that I'm putting my kids on a diet. ITS NOT A DIET ITS HEALTHY WAY OF LIVING. The thing is my kids aren't complaining its everyone else, its usually for something like pop, I don't drink it and I don't allow my kids too but everyone thinks it is just horrible not to let them have it.0 -

Yeah, it'll just be one hour. The president is speaking or something like that. But still, I'd rather watch my two hours of the BL.
