Confessions -
Sometimes I get frusterated with my beau's complete lack of ambition. He got a bachelors in a field that you can't do much without a masters, hates his job, but refuses to look for a new one. He's been there for five years. I forced him to make a linkedin profile which he hasn't touched. I hate being the naggy girlfriend but I want to be able to move on with both of our lives. I'm afraid if I don't, we'll sit in limbo forever.
I'm terrified I'll end up fat like my mom. I love her to death, she's my best friend but she's morbidly obese and has given up making an effort to change her eating habits. I was not brought up to eat very healthy so it's really hard for me to do now.
I'm afraid to be pregnant and be a new mom. The thought of having a baby growing inside me just makes me think of a parasite and that makes me feel terrible. Plus the thought of actually giving birth gives me panic attacks. And the thought of all the hormonal mood swings that come with being pregnant make me afraid I'll drive off FH. I think I'd be an awful mother (which is depressing, too, since I've always wanted kids).

I curled my hair every morning before high school. Now I don't even dry it. When I do curl my hair, I prefer curlers, since it's much less likely that I will burn myself.

We've also had a pretty quick, "whirlwind" relationship and want to enjoy more time as just us for a few years. That means maybe 36-38 for baby one. I'm pretty ok with it, but it still freaks me out a bit when people talk about being scared to have babies after 30 or 35.
I'm totally prepped to be the older mom! I see 50 something couples out and about with a teenage child and automatically think - that'll be me and Patrick, we'll be like that. It pleases me.

OMG, It's like you're reading my mind. My mom is also morbidly obese and is constantly yo-yo dieting. I'm terrified that she's going to have a heart attack and die any day now.
Also the baby stuff you bolded, is <em>exactly </em>how I feel.
I can't work a curling iron. At least not on the right side of my head. I'm left handed, and something about looking at myself in the mirror, with the curling iron in the right had, reverses things for me and I end up curling the hair backwards, or think I'm getting the hair with the curling iron, but I'm too high or too far forward. Depth perception problems, I haz them.

I work in an office with 6 men and I woman (who is only here half time). I stopped caring about my appearance until we interviewed this gorgeous woman the other day and I just felt gross. I have straightened my hair and put makeup on every day since then and actually feel much better about myself. (Irrational? Yup.)
My hair is also fine and straight. A main reason it's almost always in a ponytail, which I wear high on my head out of a cheerleading habit. It probably is a contributing factor to me looking like a teenager. Whatevs.
I think I literally need bullet points for my responses:
I didn't figure out what NFT meant until someone paged me using it and I was confused why the thread was empty.
I didn't figure out AYG until VERY very recently.
My hair is too fine and thin to curl unless I go through a complicated procedure involving overnight soft curlers with dippety do, then hot rollers and spray gel, then curling iron and hairspray THEN brush and curling iron and hairspray again
I am also completely inept at using a curling iron.
I desparately want films of Shakespeare and Klingon. That sounds made for me.
Edit for formatting and because I forgot to comment on Klingons.
I feel like I've just stopped giving a crap about what I look like at work. I haven't dried my hair in at least 2 years. I wear a t-shirt, jeans, and flip flops every single day. I think it has rubbed off on outside of work too and I really want to change that.

I will caution you though, be careful about waiting until 36-38 to try. I would give anything to be your age and be able to try for a kid. For some people it's easy and for some people it's not.
Lately I've been liking my sleep more (or my morning running) and have gotten to the point where I hop out of the shower and chuck my hair in a messy bun of some sort and throw on eye makeup and I'm out the door. I do love when I blow dry and straighten my hair, but it takes so long. I'd rather sleep.
Warning

I have no desire to have a baby for at least 10 years. I need to get through med school, resisdency, and fellowship before I'd want to add kids to the mix. Being a doctor is way more important to me than being a mother.

I'm afraid if I don't, we'll sit in limbo forever. <strong>I'm terrified I'll end up fat like my mom. I love her to death, she's my best friend but she's morbidly obese and has given up making an effort to change her eating habits. I was not brought up to eat very healthy so it's really hard for me to do now.</strong> I'm afraid to be pregnant and be a new mom. <strong>The thought of having a baby growing inside me just makes me think of a parasite and that makes me feel terrible. Plus the thought of actually giving birth gives me panic attacks.</strong> And the thought of all the hormonal mood swings that come with being pregnant make me afraid I'll drive off FH. I think I'd be an awful mother (which is depressing, too, since I've always wanted kids). Angel, you look amazing.

OMG, It's like you're reading my mind. My mom is also morbidly obese and is constantly yo-yo dieting. I'm terrified that she's going to have a heart attack and die any day now.
Also the baby stuff you bolded, is <em>exactly </em>how I feel.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions or UnPop Ops or something? : Maybe because you worry about things like police offers carrying guns?

Thats just bad genetics, my dad was entierly gray by the time he was 30....and I only brought that up because my entier family thinks guns (regardless of who is carrying them) are inappropriate at weddings. I'm beginning to understand opposing opinions, however I'd still like FI to address it with FFIL.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions or UnPop Ops or something? : I feel lucky that I have somewhat thick hair that will do great things, but I just don't have the ability to do them so it's pointless anyway.

This is me. My hair would hold a curl just fine if I could just figure out how to do it.
[QUOTE]Another confession - I need to start giving a crap about my appearance. My workplace is casual, especially in the summer, so combine that with no makeup and wash and go hair . . . it's not pretty. I don't really know when I stopped even bothering with mascara, but I have. It just seems like so much to do in the morning, even though I know that's ridiculous.

I work in an office with 6 men and I woman (who is only here half time). I stopped caring about my appearance until we interviewed this gorgeous woman the other day and I just felt gross. I have straightened my hair and put makeup on every day since then and actually feel much better about myself. (Irrational? Yup.)
I didn't figure out what NFT meant until someone paged me using it and I was confused why the thread was empty.
I didn't figure out AYG until VERY very recently.
My hair is too fine and thin to curl unless I go through a complicated procedure involving overnight soft curlers with dippety do, then hot rollers and spray gel, then curling iron and hairspray THEN brush and curling iron and hairspray again
I am also completely inept at using a curling iron.
I desparately want films of Shakespeare and Klingon. That sounds made for me.
Edit for formatting and because I forgot to comment on Klingons.
[QUOTE]My shy newbie self is also terrified by some of the comments in this thread about baby having... I'm a very new 32 and my fiance is 33. Neither of us is really ready to have kids yet, though we both eventually want 1-2. We've also had a pretty quick, "whirlwind" relationship and want to enjoy more time as just us for a few years. That means maybe 36-38 for baby one. I'm pretty ok with it, but it still freaks me out a bit when people talk about being scared to have babies after 30 or 35. I'm totally prepped to be the older mom! I see 50 something couples out and about with a teenage child and automatically think - that'll be me and Patrick, we'll be like that. It pleases me.

I wouldn't at all mind being an "older" mom! Good thing, since I'm 39 now and we're trying. I will caution you though, be careful about waiting until 36-38 to try. I would give anything to be your age and be able to try for a kid. For some people it's easy and for some people it's not.
