[ - ] DH constantly watching TV when home. Eats in bed all the time. Won't cook, so we don't eat together unless he can wait for me to get home & make dinner. Didn't want dinner tonight, but is eating a smelly burrito in bed. Does this shit all the time. Asked him not to; he doesn't care what I say. He is so white trash. 16 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

When you are camping it is like a survival test. You see who is sitting back drinking bear & who is chopping wood. you see who can improvise when the tent stakes are missing or when the electricity blows & you want coffee. [ Reply | More

Not to barge, but the week before I left my husband I remember picking up crusted up dishes next to the couch and srubbing f*cking grape jelly off what seemed to be every surface in the house, I remember cleaning and cursing and saying I am going to be so glad not to have to pick up after this slob for one more day. And I was. I mean, that was the least of our problems, but I think it was liberating knowing that I wasn't going to be doing it again! [ Reply | More

Cop here, if they run a back ground check, and that's a big if, anything you were arrested for will come up, or if you were printed for a job or firearm license. Are you going to have a long term relationship with them? They will gossip, I don't think anyone will pass too much judgement on a 15 year old arrest for silliness, but they will gossip about it no doubt. And if you do work for them anyother job you apply for later on down the road MAY be able to get that application. [ Reply | More

Did you read the Weissbluth book? I don't remember what it says about 10 month olds but it worked like magic for my 5 month old (at the time). My now 6m old goes to bed by 7 the latest and doesn't wake up till 6. Don't listen to people who say the bedtime is too early. It's only going to get later as baby gets older and babies need a lot of sleep. I would let baby cry as long as I made sure baby was fed, dry and not in distress some other way. Babies need to learn how to go back to sleep and maybe that's why he's struggling. Picking him up is not a good thing for him to get used to. [ Reply | More
