[QUOTE]My confession is kind of weak, but it's something I can't share IRL -- Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be working out of one of our firm's other offices that's only 10 minutes from my house. Up until now, I've been working in the downtown office (it's being closed) and commuting with my mom who works a few blocks away. I'm actually glad to be getting a break from seeing my mom. Every. Freaking. Day.

Oh geez Imp, I commute 70 miles and work with my mom. And who is the first person to call me on weekend mornings??! I love my mom so much and I enjoy being there for her since she is alone, but man its hard some days!!! A part of me just wants her to get remarried or go out and meet new friends, but not really for my benefit, for hers since I always feel so bad that she is all alone. :/ I guess this is another confession!!!

[QUOTE]LC- I'm jealous of your job. I have a BA in Criminal Justice and nobody in the field (lawyers, court house, police, etc) wants me. I was told "we're going in another direction" when I applied to be an ASSISTANT to a paralegal. Really? I'm looking into the schooling to be a paralegal just to help, but schooling makes me want to cry. I'm sure you have so much fun at your job.

This is only my third day, but it's pretty freakin awesome. All of my "real" (non service industry) jobs have been with attorneys, but none who were trial attorneys. So this is all pretty much new for me. It's REALLY interesting though.

[QUOTE]LDY -- I still don't like the gym because I feel like people are staring at me. I work out at home with workout DVD and the Xbox Kinect and I love it. Or I go walking/running outside. I am much more likely to push myself when I feel like I'm not being judged. Or at least, when it's only Ruby judging me. :-) PS -- Are you on MyFitnessPal? I think we talked about it once. PM me with your name and I'll friend on you there. :-)
Posted by cfaszews25[/QUOTE]

Yes! I'm BRenkwell - I'm okay with all these kids knowing my MFP name - if anyone wants to join MyFitnessPal with me, I'm all for it!

Be my friend =)

When I work out at home, I don't push myself very hard b/c theres no one judging me lol. I know that sounds so weird, but I guess the judging I feel like I'm getting at the gym is a good thing. At home I can just turn off the DVD - when I'm at the gym, I don't want to look like a loser and just walk out of class when I'm tired.

Snippylynn · April 2011

I admittedly don't want kids because they won't look anything like me. DAMN ASIAN GENES.

Is that selfish enough for the kps poster?

[QUOTE]hlq- speaking as a heavier person, (I'm a sixteen) they probably don't hate you. I only hate the people who never talk about anything else, or who try to project their feelings onto me. Like my mother, who says "Do you want to try weight watchers with me?" when I have never once complained about my weight to her.

[QUOTE]I actually wonder if I'm weird for NOT being worried about having this kid. Maybe I'm resigned to the fact that it's going to happen no matter what? I mean, I know I'll do my best, and that's all I can do. I'm not really stressed about it. I know it'll be ok.
Posted by RobotLegs[/QUOTE]

Through my whole pregnancy I felt like that, until the day came that I had to go to the hospital due to some severe stomach pain (I ended up being induced). I remember standing in the kitchen crying my eyes out telling FI that I didn't want to go to the hospital because I wasn't ready to be a mommy. You know what? It all worked out fine, it's a "learn on the job" sort of experience.

And, the post on KPS about the selfish/immature not to have kids also pisses me off. I get that all the time when I tell people that I'm only having one kid (they call me immature.) Mind your own F'in business people!!

I think the exact opposite anyway, I think there should be a lot less people having kids then there are - because I know a few people who were not cut out to be good parents, at all - and it makes me sad. They just keep popping out kids with different daddies so they can get more money from the government, and it makes me sick.

Or maybe, I should treat it like a pet: if I realize later that I don't want a kid, I'll just get rid of it. Why not put more strain on an already overtaxed system?

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: In Honor of KPS Returning....Confessions...The ones you don't mind people knowing : What sucks even more is that DH's mom and sister do the same thing. They drive right past our town to go visit his brother (who has a kid and another on the way) and won't even stop to have lunch or dinner with us. Like, I'm sorry we haven't produced spawn, but you can't even pretend to care about us? I think this is why we made the decision about when we have kids. It's out of spite, yes, but can they really blame us with how they've treated us?
Posted by waltzingmatilda13[/QUOTE]

FI's parents do the same. They go to BILs house which is literally 5 min. away maybe 2 or 3 times a month, and they don't bother to come see us and our daughter. (BIL has two kids) FI tells me not to let it bug me because he's used to it, but it still does.

They insist that we come see them (over an hour away), but they can't pop in when they're already in the area? Over an hour drive with a 2 year old is no treat in my opinion. Our daughter still makes strange with them because she hardly knows them and it makes me sad.

I confess that I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about, but that does sound like a sad commercial. I don't like sad commercials. I like commercials with puppies and babies and singing and dancing and rainbows. Preferably with all of the above.

Posted by mkrupar[/QUOTE]
I've only read up to here - but I pretty much agree with Snippy on this. I think that KPS is about the dumbest one I've ever seen. I think, if anything, it's immature and selfish to have kids when the world is so overpopulated just so someone can have a mini-me. I've never heard an unselfish reason for someone wanting a kid.

The word "selfish" is loaded anyway. We're all selfish. If we weren't, we wouldn't survive.

Loopyseven · April 2011

Our 3rd shift supervisor is on jury duty so if he has to go in, the 2nd shift guy stays over 4 hours and I go in 4 hours early (3 AM). It's supposed to be week by week so when I heard nothing before I left work last night I assumed it was business as usual.

I confess that I totally heard my phone ring at 3:15 AM this morning (on the nightstand next to me), listened to the voicemail from the 2nd shift supervisor wondering if I was going to come in and cover the 2nd half of 3rd shift (16 hours at work) and went back to sleep and went into work at the normal time. Now I feel guilty that I knew but didn't go in to relieve him... but I know I really shouldn't because it was NOT arranged ahead of time. If I didnt use my phone as an alarm clock I wouldn't even have known until I got up at the normal time this morning and got the voice mail then.

musicalsunlight · April 2011

I confess that while I know 100% that I'm not overweight, at all, I get a little frustrated with myself and my body. I'm trying really hard to exercise regularly, but it just can't live up to the amazing feeling I got when I used to dance 20 hours a week. I can't afford gym/aerobic dance classes (I really shouldn't be spending any money except for necessities right now) so our little apt workout room has to do. But I just want to be toned like I used to be, because I look at old photos and get annoyed with how "soft" my muscles have become. I haven't gained or lost any weight, but I still feel gross. And i always feel hesitant to complain about it because I know I'm not actually overweight so I feel like an ass, because people always look at me like I'm an idiot when I say I want to workout more.

I've totally done similar things before, Loopy. If I ever got calls from my work when it was early in the morning, I deliberately wouldn't answer them because I knew they would be trying to get me to come in early, and I hated it. I kinda felt bad, but kinda not, because for all they knew, I was sleeping...

Musical, is there a gym at your school? The gym at my undergrad was awesome and I loved working out there. It might not be better than the one you have at your apartment complex, but its worth looking in to.

[Deleted User] · April 2011

I'll also confess that I'm with Kiki on wanting to plan (but not pay for) another wedding. I have mega dress regret.

baystateapple · April 2011

I don't have dress regret, but I wish I had been a little more firm with what I wanted (colors, flowers, etc.) from our wedding, instead of just giving in to what H wanted. It looks beautiful, and I really don't have many regrets, but I see all the other gorgeous weddings being planned on here, and I do wonder what ours might have looked like if I'd done things the way I wanted.
