morning ladies.  i'm finally off to get my hair dyed today - 2 weeks past schedule.  oops.  the grays are taking over.  then i have to run all over town - we're having a garage sale at SILs this weekend, so I have to go pick up tables from my moms work and pick up some stuff at my moms house to bring over there.  hopefully i'll be able to get my stuff over there at some point too.

Morning ladies.  So ready to slide into Friday.  No meetings, and my office area is delightfully void of any other coworkers. 

My daughter is coming home from college this weekend to help me put the wedding invites together.  It will be so good to spend some time with her.  Yikers, she turns 21 in 15 days.

We're moving up to KC.  Right now we're moving in with my parents, but we get our new apartment on the 15th.  When we signed our lease H didn't have a job yet, so we didn't think we'd be moving until then, but at least it's only a few weeks with my family.

Us too, Mari.  We tiled the kitchen and bath ourselves too.

When we made the move to Kansas City from Chicago we stayed with FI's parenta for like 6 weeks -- more than them bothering me I just couldn't stand being so far out in suburbia when we'd been used to such a fun walkable neighborhood, but it was only for a short time and we were grateful for the help!

Where abouts is your apartment?

Jally, how do you two get along with your parents?  A few weeks with either of our parents and we'd be tearing our hair out!  My parents are great a weekend at a time, and his parents are great for about 15 minutes...

It's in Overland Park.

We get along ok with my parents.  I'm sure they'll start to drive me crazy, and with my sisters the house is always so full and busy, but it's what we've got to do.  I'm just glad H found a job so easily, and one he is really excited about.  Asking him to move wherever I got into school was a big request, and he's been nothing but supportive so I am really happy this move is going to be better for him too.

MyUserName1

That's great, Jally!

Aryn, his parents are like the little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead.  When they're good, there very, very good.  And when they're bad, there horrid.

Morning, everyone. My dog is being an asshole, and he's interrupting my morning of Star Trek//Snuggie time.

The IUD aftermath was way less awful than last time, but the insertion was worse. H was great, though he nearly fainted during part of it.

mari0225

Yeah I couldn't live with FI's parents, they would drive me up a wall. My mom is driving me up a wall now, she cries at the drop of a hat...you'd think I was moving to Alaska instead of 40 min. away.

Special, glad to hear you are doing okay from your IUD procedure.  I will be needing to do the same in about 2 years and am NOT looking forward to that.

Ski, H didn't want to commit to any permanent procedures just yet, but we talked to my doctor about them. He gave us a bunch of pamphlets and said he can go over the details in depth when this IUD expires.

H finally saw my doc for the first time. He agreed that he looks like the doctor from Family Guy.

Hi, do we have the same mom? I'll only be moving <strong><u>5 minutes</u></strong> away and she's cray cray about it. We'll still see each other on the bus M-F, go to dinner at Grandma's and choir practice on Wednesdays and church/lunch on Sundays.

UGH!

Man, I moved out when I was 21 and my parents practically booted me right out the door.  They were thrilled to have one less person under their roof.

Sucked for them when I got in a car accident two months later and had to move home for an extended recovery (my apartment was up a flight of stairs, and for the first month of the recovery I couldn't even use crutches because I broke my ribs as well, so I was pretty much helpless).

kcscejal

I really, really want an IUD.  I hated being on the pill, so right we're charting and using condoms.  Finding a new doctor and possibly getting an IUD are a top priority once we get settled.  I have heard that it can be hard to find a doctor who will put one in since I haven't had a kid yet.

I know, we have already promised that we'd have dinner or lunch with her every Sunday. She begged FI to just rent his house out and move in to her house with us, "i'm like no mom we need our own space, you'll be okay."

Well my mom has never lived by herself, so I think she's scared, but everyone has told her that she will be fine and may even enjoy it. I think it will be really good for mine and her relationship for me to move out.

angelstar975

Midge and Mari, my mom is the same way. She keeps saying, "Are you sure you want to get married? Don't you want to stay here a little longer?" I think she'd have me live there until I was 40, if she had her way. 

kcscejal

I moved out at 18, and haven't had the desire to move back in.  This will be the first time I've spent more than a few days there, and I don't think I could handle much longer.  I like independence and freedom and privacy too much to spend that much time with my parents.  I love them, and they give me my space, but I am way too used to having a whole apartment to myself and FI.

<div>Mine actually suggested it to me. I hadn't even heard of them until he said something. </div><div>
</div><div>While we were discussing permament methods, I asked if there would be any problem with me having permanent procedures done when I'm 32. I read some horror stories on here about doctors refusing to do anything permanent if you haven't had a kid yet or are under 40 or something. He just kind of looked at me weird and said something like, "You're an adult. You can make decisions for yourself. Why would I deny you a valid medical treatment?"</div><div>
I love that man.</div>

My mom is crazycakes.  She wanted me to get married ASAP, and start popping out grandkids ASAP.  When I was nervous and queasy a few days before the wedding, she asked me if I was pregnant, and was disappointed when I told her no.

midgetthemighty

Angel, my mom has never gone quite that far but I started moving some of my stuff to FI's apartment almost a year ago because it was things like DVDs and such that I didn't need at home. Might as well, right?

Well when I did that she got all pissy, tried to say they were hers (I left all of hers, dad's and brothers thankyouverymuch) and questioned why I was moving stuff already. I was planning on moving one of my bookcases and some things over right after but I let her get the better of me and stopped. With the new apartment that's 5 minutes away, I've been moving stuff over there every time I go over. I officially do not care anymore what she thinks about the whole situation.

I don't think my mom is ready for grandkids... FI's mom definitely is, although she's hoping for them from his older brother first.
