    I confess that I've done a lot of procrastinating at work today.

    I also confess that food has been on my mind almost constantly for the last three days.

    Finally, I confess that I am in denial about being on a plane back to China in 3.5 days.

    Confession 1 - I miss this thread and can't wait to catch up.

    Confession 2 - Flights to Orlando make me *kitten* despise Disney (both the World and Walt for creating it) and children in general (or maybe their *kitten* terrible awful parents).

    Confession 3 - A hefty portion of my expense reimbursement will be for alcohol. I will defend myself with Confession 2 if challenged.

    Confession 4 - So. Many. Peeps.

    Hi!

    Got my son the "mystery peeps." They weren't much of a mystery, since you could smell what flavor it was as soon as you opened them.

    They come in flavors?? I thought they were all just marshmallow and colored sugar. I had no idea.

    It's only recently they've been doing that. I think they actually started with some of the Halloween ones to jump on the pumpkin spice craze.

    I'm a Jennifer too.

    We're meeting a bunch of family this weekend for dinner. I shot down everyone's restaurant suggestions until one met my nutritional standards. I felt bad because many of the suggested restaurants were ones I would have jumped at in the past and now everyone unwittingly has to conform to me. They are also all kind of pissy that I was being difficult.

    Oh well. Too bad, so sad!

    I didn't do a single thing today. I wallowed in my laziness... :(

    I have a habit of binge eating. Then beating myself up for it.

    I confess - I want to rear end this car.

    I see it in the parking garage nearly every day and it makes me stabby.

    On a related note, "Stork Parking" makes me stabby. So deeply stupid. Especially at hospitals where there are so many people who are actually disabled/ill who are more deserving of those close-in spots.

    I've always thought that! It's healthy for a pregnant woman to walk. What about giving those parking spots to families with babies! I remember when I was a single mother of 2 babies under age 2, thinking they should have allowed me a reserved parking spot at the front of the lot.

    You chose to have those children--it is your job to figure it out.

    Giving people with children so many special privileges in an already overpopulated world is so incredibly irresponsible. It makes me very angry.

    A privilege? I have twins. Being able to park closer = safety. Clearly you've never had two small kids try to run off in a parking lot.

    Nobody's responsibility but yours. Here's a thought--leave the kids at home if they are that out of control.

    I get really bummed when people don't ask if I want anything because they assume I can't eat at a location because it's "unhealthy". :(

    Anxiety disorder confession-

    I haven't had a Pap smear since before my three year old was born. Actually since before I got pregnant...like a few years before.

    I cannot relax enough to get it done, and I have made several appointments. Sometimes I even get as far as to change into the gown.

    As soon as the nurse/doctor comes in My brain goes "RAPE! DANGER! FIRE!!!!" And I am unable to get my feet in the stirrups.

    When not on anxiety medication, I have similar experiences doing mundane things, like buying yogurt. (How long have I been in the yogurt section? Too long? Should I just leave? I bet they all think I am some sort of yogurt fetishist. Well now I can't leave without the yogurt....I've come too far!)

    I have the same issue with paps
    I have even vomited in the DR'S exam room waiting
    Last time she took advantage of the fact I was having surgery, and did it while I was under, not sure what will happen next time.
    Once I even took a mixture of perks, gravel and lorazapam
    Still got so worked up it never happened

    There are a lot of places which, on the surface, sound like nothing will be doable, but if you poke around on their nutritional info online, you can find something just about everywhere. Even easier if it's only diet related and not allergen related.

    Occasionally, I celebrate the fact that I put in effort, instead of celebrating results. I celebrate by eating junk food while watching movies and I over do it. I have eaten an entire pint of ice cream along with half a bag of chips, after doing an exam (I didn't even know if I did well on the exam or not....later I found out I didn't). Also, I make excuses when I planned to go out and exercise, such as having a test in a couple of days. But then I end up doing nothing productive.

    I don't see how parking spaces "reserved" for parents are an issue, especially since they aren't really regulated.

    Though, as someone who was in a wheelchair and had to GO, please don't take up handicap stalls unless you absolutely have to.

    Re: the vegan thread that was posted earlier... You could probably substitute "child free" for "vegan" and have the exact same conversation.

    (Child free meaning the movement of people who are childless by conviction/choice and refer to people who have children as "breeders", not meaning people who are childless in general)

    That doesn't sound at all judgy! (rungirl - you better not let judgy pants know if you have a messy house because of said children!)

    I'll just go ahead and assume that all of you lazy breeders have filthy homes. It's probably true at least 80% of the time.

    Why do people have kids and completely give up on having any kind of standards?

    I have standards. They might be lower than yours, but I have them.

    If I were you, I'd ignore her. I've come to the conclusion that she's just a bitter old woman who can't procreate so she takes her anger out on those who can.

    It would be a damn shame if this thread got shut down because we got all judgey on someone for their judgements. This is a thread where we turn the other cheek. I almost went down that road, too. Let's just leave it alone, shall we?

    On the subject of names, my son has a VERY Italian name......however, he is half Jamaican also.....so I have a pretty dark mixed child with a huge afro, actually used to be dreadlocks, whose name sounds like an old Italian man. Everyone thinks it's great lol.

    I saw the vegan thread. I don't really the need to argue. I don't really care how other people eat, my MIL is vegan and not the biggest fan of her grandkids chowing down on meat but w/e. She is generally polite about it and we make vegan food for her when she comes.

    Same things with childless/child free people. I just don't get the overt hostility and obnoxiousness to strangers over the internet. You be child free and enjoy, no need to be disrespectful.

    Fair enough. Redacted. Please deleted the quoted section. Apparently this forum doesn't auto delete once quoted.

    Yup. I have vegan/vegetarian friends and child free friends. No problem with any of it. I generally try to be as accommodating as I can be. But there are certain conversations that once they begin, I just walk away.
