Ok, thanks. I've never heard TTA or TTW before.

There is no need to try. Just eat.

Does TTA = "Trying to Avoid"?

Yes.  TTA = Trying to Avoid.  TTC = Trying to Conceive.  TTW = Trying to Whatever (meaning you're not explicitly trying to concieve nor prevent conception.)

I don't mean to be crass or disrespectful...but isn't this just....having sex???? I mean why bother if you don't care either way....

But you're still monitoring your body temp and other stuff. So you're aware of how fertile you are, but you don't change your behavior because of it.

Yup. But if you are practicing NFP you at least know when you're likely to conceive. And then you aren't doing anything to prevent conception.

Just saw a similar post in etiquette. I wonder if you and @monkeysip‌ are talking about the same post/group

monkeysip

HAHA, YES!

banana468, I didn't realize we were in the group together.  I'm sure this was the same post.  I nearly had a stroke reading through the comments.  I'm Rachel, btw.

I'm so excited that so many of you are in the group!

Grrr. Plus, they already know that God is going to want everyone there as it is a community event.  Technically, the entire parish is invited to the ceremony to come help bless the couple.  They know better, and, as you said, treating guests poorly is a sin, venial, but a sin.

@banana468, I know this was originally a vent about these groups :-D, but do you have some in particular you would recommend?  We are also NFP (Marquette Method) and I have been trying to find some online groups to peruse. Thanks!

BTW... in addition to the regular NFP groups, there's a Marquette group too on Facebook.

We were TTW for the first part of our pregnancy, but still charting more to see what's going on with my body. Hey @monkeysip - it's Kristan. I loved your response to the thread, too! We still need to have a double date soon!

monkeysip

Hey girl--didnt recognize your name here!  Love the signature!

chocolateygabs

Ah, thanks for the tip @monkeysip!  I will have to take some time and check out that group, too.

I found what I thought the group was, and now that I'm in, I'm right. Apart from that mess of a post, it does look like a pretty good resource, so thanks for clueing me into it, guys!

And now you'll see just how mean I am. Did you see where she told me to stop commenting?

Yep. Apparently tried to block you.

I think it was mostly just the one other girl who was advocating B-listing, and the rest... it's amazing how oblivious people can be to the fact that even though many people have declines, you can't count on that. So them listing their experience of declines is the opposite of helpful for someone who's grasping at solutions for a large guest list and doesn't care about her mom's friends or her friend's unknown SOs.

The comments are bordering on petulance. Just stop! ;-)
