Pity party for one?

I freaking HATE camping.

It's not a vacation.

It's pretending to be homeless except the food is better.

I get two weeks to recover from the last 10 days of "relaxation" and then we're going again.

To a place called Killbear.

Yup.

KILLBEAR!?!? (Sounds like my beloved Shithead's backyard ( Read more... )

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I gave camping up for Lent....10 years ago!!!!! Never ever want to go again.

It's not a vacation if Mommy has to cook and clean dishes. Or put on shoes to use the toilet. Nope, just...NOT!

"Or put on shoes to use the toilet.."

Best.
Line.
Ever!!!!

It's my new excuse for *hating* camping.

I was a little cruder when I used it though.

I have to shop for a baby shower.

At this point I'm not sure what's worse...

Camping or going to the shower and having to participate in *ugh* games.

There's not enough coffee in the world.

Coffee? I usually need alcohol for one of those things. Especialy the ones I've been to lately with 100 guests and as many gifts....and then having to sit there while she opens EVERY one of them. After a dozen, the *Ooohs* and *Ahhhhs* become nauseating.

I understand some of the 'newfangled ways'. Like the whole 'back-to-bed' issue. But some of the stuff new parents are doing just makes me wonder how I managed to raise 2 kids who are still breathing on their own.

I could never understand the "whole back to bed" issue. Our kids slept in our bed when they needed to. Nightmares, thunderstorms, insecurity, whatever. Their need for reassurance far outweighed anything else. Most times the munchkins were happily tucked into their own beds knowing that our door was open.

The need for our bed pretty much ended before they were in school full-time.

Hugglebunnyburgers aren't just for night-time.

Or the bedroom.

*I'd blush if I had any shame*

I think parents now are too afraid to use their own common sense. They're always looking to so called "experts" for everything. That's probably the reason we have a generation of kids who can't think critically and feel they are owed everything they want.
