    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: It's Friday : I don't know if you wanted an apartment or not, but the ones we're in are offering 1-3 months free rent. And hopefully that doesn't come off as the strange stalker person.
    Posted by lovethebeach16[/QUOTE]

    Aw, thanks :)  I don't find that stalker like at all.  But we want to be in DE because both of our cars are registered in DE, (we each paid for 5 years of DE registration for them when we bought them) and it would be a pain to switch them over to MD.  We're just living in MD because it was a place to go for cheap and according to the state of DE we live at my dad's house in Newark.  I'd like to have everything kosher and all at the same address, haha.

    KK and LVB - I'm jealous of your gtg......but glad the H's were so awesome!  Mr Stack took the day off of work today to clean the house so I didn't have to do anything but play with lil stack this weekend since he'll be out of town. 

    And sarabellam....you're being pretty dramatic about H's wanting their wives to be safe.

    [QUOTE]Morning! I'm kinda pissed because either my car is really hungry or really hates me because it ate all my CDs and won't give them back. I really wanted to listen to my new Zac Brown Band CD on the way to ballet class last night, but I couldn't. It finally spit one out this morning, but it's holding the other 5 hostage. And I lost my cell phone. Or just misplaced it. Either way, I can't find it right now. Thank god tomorrow is Saturday and hopefully I can get this all straightened out.

    Your car is such a jerk!  I would be pretty pissed about not getting to hear Zac Brown as well.  Is the new CD good?

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: It's Friday : Yeah, that makes sense. Plus theres the whole work in one state live in another issue. I thought H was going to have a heart attack last year when the tax guy told him what he owed MD because their tax rate is so much higher than DE.
    Posted by lovethebeach16[/QUOTE]

    Yep, that too.  I lived in DE and worked in PA for awhile and taxes that year were a bitch.  This year's taxes are going to be confusing enough with H being unemployed and geting married and all.

    Yeah, I think her phrasing wasn't conveying the situation right, and is just causing  some misunderstanding all around.  I don't think the pregnant friend was just dying to sit in the car alone but her H forbid it, at least that's not the impression I had. 

    Anywho....

    Actually, I NEVER said the world 'allow'. You did. I only used it facetiously after you attacked the statement. And you're the ONLY one taking that way. So if you want to project your own feelings on to it, that's your right. But you're way off base from what I meant or even said.

    We have a Grey's Anatomy gtg every week with us and Birdie, and we always eat and drink way too damn much :)

    And normally, both of our H's are really nice, but cleaning on their own initiative is not the norm!

    And?  My H wouldn't "allow" me to sit in a car in the ghetto either.  And I love that he's that way.  It's nice to feel like someone gives a shiit about your safety and wants to protect you.

    You are correct, you didn't use the word "allow." How different is "won't let her" from "won't allow her?"

    AMEN! And I can't believe how much I accidently 'trained' him. He knows how anal I get about cleaning when people are coming over. I totally forgot that they are coming over tomorrow, so he took it on himself to do the cleaning because he knew I'd be in late. I was so surprised and pleased :)

    You're totally right Sara. Our husbands are really malicious and just want to keep us lil ole women pregnant, barefoot at home. I'm so glad you showed me the light. Halleluiah and praise Jesus. Maybe I'll go get myself a divorce and marry a REAL MAN! Hell, might as well marry another woman so no one can ever doubt the equality of our relationship again! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

    I think we are both being misunderstood LVB, perhaps even deliberately (meaning I'm kinda just arguing for the sake of arguing). As I said, different strokes. I find that overprotectiveness patronizing and insulting to my intelligence. Other women apparently don't feel the same way. If it works for you, wonderful. I'll never understand it, but neither will I understand domestic discipline or the desire for polygamy.

    I guess I just don't see it as being 'overprotective', just protective. I'm just as strong and intelligent as the next woman, but part of the reason I got married is to have a person to help take care of me. Yeah, I could fend for my own for the rest of my life, but I didn't WANT to. I want someone to take care of me just as much as I take care of them. We love each other, that's what we do for people we love.

    Notice how everyone freaked out when AK's husband wanted her to use his name for everything? THAT was insulting and sexist. This is just us being ok with our husbands wanting to take care of us. I guess the rest of us aren't just always lookign for some injustice or way that we've been wronged as a woman. As you said, different strokes.

    I think the thing that makes this seem ALL KINDS OF EXTREME is if I was with a group of my closest girlfriends doing the same exact thing and a pregnant girl had to be left in the car I would sit with her so that she wasn't in a car, alone, in a sketchy neighborhood.  It wouldn't have anything to do with husbands - just something to do with what's right. 

    Andplusalso - we'd still have a kick a$$ time doing the complete rest of the scavenger hunt together.

    If I was pregnant *perish the thought* and was concerned about my high BP and getting scared in a haunted house, I wouldn't let my husband go without me. He'd be staying in the car with me.
    I don't get the idea that she is trying to be proactive and avoid a potentially dangerous situation and his response is she can't stay in the car alone ... but did he offer to sit with her? that's the only thing that seems off to me.

    It never really came to that. H and I asked them if they wanted to go with us since it's my first year here. They said they would love to go, but couldn't because she can't do the haunted houses. I then said that I would be more than happy to hang out with her while they did the houses.

    Honestly, the best part is going to be the scavenger hunt. The haunted houses, I've been to, we all have. But we've never done the hunt together. So I don't feel that I'm really missing out, especially because she's going to give us her pass and H and I will go another time, if we want to.

Honestly, I'd rather hang otu with a girlfriend for an hour than my husband. I mean, when the 4 of us go out, it's usually the guys talkign car stuff and she and I talking girl stuff. I think it would be weird if H stayed with me while my girlfriend went in without me. But then again, I wouldn't feel liek my husband was 'abandoning' me at all.
