So I just had to carry a screaming two year old half a mile with groceries for dinner. She weighs more than 30 lbs, she wanted me to carry her, but wouldn’t grip with her legs for much of it.
AND!!! My wife is pregnant again! So I have to deal with two of them in 9 months!
How could something like this happen?
AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!
*Those of you who know me IRL please don’t spill the beans where my family will see it, IE, Facebook, we are going to tell them when we see them in June.
I didn’t plan to stop at one. But essentially I have. For precisely this reason. My girlfriend has two children under the age of 3. To her credit, she was medicated prior.
I’m trying to teach my daughter to put on shoes before she goes outside. My husband takes her out (without shoes) to where I am, then wanders off. What do I have to do? Carry a 35lb kid UP a mountain. No, she didn’t grip with her legs either. The last portion of the ride, I was carrying a box turtle, a toddler, some gardening tools and a cup full of worms.
Another one? No thanks. Although I did enjoy the bit of revenge I got on her later. Tickling her silly.
I certainly hope I am not in an old folks home when I am 51!
Auntbeast Yeah, that sort of thing happens. I didn’t plan on stopping at one, and apparently we didn’t. It’s pretty nutty to think of having TWO kids. I just don’t know wtf to think about it. I’m a little worried financially to be honest. I tried to start a business and made a poor choice that basically fucked everything up, so now I am a bit in debt and need to get a job working for someone else.
mswas - My mother had 4 under the age of three. If she can do it, you can too. (Altogether there were 5 of us in 6 years, plus a 2nd set of twins that died. She only stopped when uterine cancer forced her too.)
This makes me think of an adorable conversation I overhead the other day. There was a dad in the same boat as you grocery shopping with a little one (or two) and I overheard this man expressing sympathy by saying, “My wife and I had three kids in 18 months so I can relate.” The dad asked how old they were. 46, 46 and 44.
Oh, sometimes it involves booze, sometimes it involves a romantic comedy, sometimes it involves a power outage. If you watch a romantic comedy while drinking, and then the power goes out, well, then, you are pretty much guaranteed to have a little bundle of joy in nine months or so.
