… and I’m starting to get a bit irritable :mad:
Anybody wanna slip a nug under my doormat?

It isn’t even anything like she forbade me or that we are worried about “second hand smoke”… it’s the damn $$$$$.
Six sonograms in 3 weeks at $300 a pop. Every third damned day it looks like a miscarriage in the toilet so we (of course, and rightly so) rush to womens’ hospital, only to be told (thankfully so), “Everything’s fine. Junior is progressing like any seven week fetus should be, it’s nothing”
"But definitely come back if/when it happens again, not that we can do anything about it anyway".
I don’t blame anybody but SHIT just one of those $300s would keep me in weed for 3 months.
Oh yeah, we’re also self-pay - no insurance - so this is cash money out of pocket. She’s a bartender and I’m a poker player. Neither of us have been making much the last few weeks, because of this. I’ve looked into it but it’ll be something close to $1k/month for insurance, if we can even get it. Probably more.
I do treat my wife like a queen and she deserves it, and she’s allowed and expected to be emotional and irritable, but dammit sometimes us expectant fathers need a little stress relief too sometimes. I haven’t even really been out to the bars hardly because frankly it isn’t much fun without her.
I’ve been practically a saint lately and I think I deserve a little smoke.
p.s. This thread may sound like a rant but it is really just all in good humor so please just treat it as such. If this gets moved to the pit or if anybody pits me over it, I promise I won’t respond, so let’s just try to keep it civil, OK? Please?
p.p.s. My wife is pregnant! Woohoo!
Congratulations to you and your wife, Eleusis !
Just remember, what you two will be getting out of all this, is MUCH more satisfying than ANY weed! I know it’s difficult for you now, but, you’ll see! It’s all worth it! I wish you both good luck with the pregnancy and the birth of your new baby!
Congrats on the kid! They are cool, and anything and everything you can do to ensure their proper entry into the world is well worth it. Get the higher quality, healthier foods for your wife and help her pack on the pounds for a healthy fetus.
Then remember the saying “A friend with weed is a friend indeed.”
Cut your smokin to only when you are social with your buddies. Use the money for the important stuff and lean on your guys to help a brother out. You can pay them back later.
It would also be a good idea to not buy weed when you do get some extra cash, but to save up a bit more for when the kid gets here. A nest egg provides more relaxation and peace of mind than pot, especially on rainy days that could come.
Once you are ahead of the curve, then go back to your habit. But, cutting back is in the cards, so you might as well get used to it now. Kids change things, and being intoxicated around them all the time is not the best thing in the world. Find something else to fill your time and give your head a rest while sober. Exercise ain’t a bad choice - and a ‘runners high’ feels pretty damn good too.
Partaking occasionally is cool, you’d be amazed at how far you can make a bag last. But $100 a month? That sounds like a nightly occurance, and you really can’t be doing that when the kid comes around.
Eh, depends on the quality. Some of us are snobs about it.
I would share, but you’re too far away. Congrats on the pregnancy though! I hope the rest of the 7+ months go well for you guys. Oh, and please get some insurance! Having babies is expensive.
Now’s the time you find out who your real friends are. Real friends will help you out. I’ve never been much of a user of God’s magic indulgence, but sometimes a “crutch” is needed. Any who say it isn’t is either much stronger or lying.
As a parent of two, I feel safe saying enjoy while you can, because once your child is born, you won’t have the time/inclination/opprotunity for it. Just remember, the kid is number one. The second your hobby intrudes on that, it’s time to stop.
