How could a man say he has a boss and be proud?
What a fun thread! Some of my personal favorites that have been mentioned....
"If I do not feel like taking a shower, I never get teased." (so very true)
"I love that we can eat, sleep & do whatever we want basically anytime we want." (Oh yes, I love not having to check in with anyone! We can pick up and leave whenever we want to)
"I never have to watch wrestling" (or hour after hour of those d*mn video games)
"I just get buttered toast" (LOL! I'm buttered toast too :LOL )
"I can sing the most irritating falsetto opera in the house,without any inhibitions." (LOL! For now Owen can't articulate his words so I can sing to my hearts delight and noone tells me to shut up )
"I no longer feel the need to suck in my gut." (HAHAHA.... so true!)
"I can buy/not buy anything I want ... my money (what little I have ) is 100% my own now!" (Yes yes yes!! No more having to defend myself everytime I spend a couple bucks!)
"But the best part is being able to stay home with my baby." (I agree 100%!)
"more than a few times I've reacted to someone's remark on my parenthood achievements by saying serenely (and, okay, maybe snottily), "oh, but I'm a single mom, so I'm Superwoman."' (OH! I like this..... I'm gonna have to try this someday!)
"I love the fact that I don't feel any pressure to use that razor : )" (LMAO! Okay, yeah.... gotta agree. )
"I can buy chocolate at will." (Or little debby cakes..... shhhhh...... don't tell....)
"Everyone that lives in our house is cherished." (This one deserved to be repeated )
"I am less lonely that I was during my marriage." (I hear ya)
"And I feel healthier." (It is amazing, isn't it? I feel better now, almost exactly 1 year later, than I did during what was supposed to be the "happiest time of my life"- just had a baby and planning a wedding)
And a few of my own...
No more deafening silences that last for days.
No more pretending to sleep when I hear the door open, knowing that he is home.
While there is still stress about money at least I know how much I have, as compared to before I was a single mom when ex would blow hundreds of dollars at a time, without telling me, and have nothing to show for it... leaving me to figure out how to pay the bills.
I can dress Owen however I want--- yes, I got him the cutest outfit for Thanksgiving- complete with a plaid button down shirt, blue dress pants, and a sweater vest (and I'm searching for some matching dress shoes)--- and NOONE can tell me no (though my dad told DS he was sorry and he would "save him" on Thanksgiving :LOL ). I'm also in the process of sewing him a Santa outfit for Christmas
I no longer have to sleep on the couch with DS, we get the whole bed to ourselves
I feel sorry for these kids
do most of them have this in common?
at how many moms making waffles for dinner
