Preggers!
by NOT ME! but it seems like it's everyone else BUT me. what is the DEAL with everyone jumping on the baby bandwagon?? There are like, 87 people around here that are preggo! And I know, yadda yadda accidents DO happen...but so many people who have only been married a year or two are planning on having kids right now, and people not yet even married say they WANT kids right away. what the heck happend to wanting to enjoy time ALONE with your spouse, and picking up and traveling whenever you want for a while. i mean, i have to admit, i am not a baby fanatic,i am a puppy & kitten fanatic. Actually, this is my viewpoint, i LOVE newborns, they're soo adorable and innocent...and i like little kids you can have fun with and talk to...like, 5 year olds. But i'm not a big fan of toddlers. From the ages of 2-4, they should all just be kept somewhere til they're not so annoying anymore. I'm not an evil person, but i do feel like i am sometimes cuz i seem to be the only person that doesnt go ga ga over kids. I do think that we'll wind up having kids someday, but not until at LEAST a good 5 years of marriage. Maybe it's because i'm just 22 and still a bit immature and don't see all the "joys" of child rearing yet. And I do know, one day I'd like to have what my parents have...kids all grown up that you get to visit & talk with on the phone. So, it's not that i'm against having kids altogether, i'm just not obsessed with it!
Okay so go ahead and vilify me, and tell me how precious babies are.

I'm not a fan of kids How about that, superhero? Young parents are probably in for a rude awakening. At least 75% of the divorces I do have kids under 10. What does that tell you?
I don't think kids suck but, I think I'll sit the baby thing out this system of things =P
i love positive people. man.
listen, 2 questions - do the 75% of the divorcees you work with have the truth, or raise their children by bible based standards? we do. well, i should hope we do.
second - kids suck? As if it's the kid's fault they were born into this world, to parents who either are bad at taking care of them, or not ready to be parents?
you don't have to pass any tests to be a parent.
I'm entitled to my opinion, man. And it's not like just because you raise children in the truth that they'll behave well all the time.
lol... im assuming that you edited the comment? Leave that kinda stuff up so we all can figure out what you kids are fighting about down the thread....
Their names are Graham y Heath =) like graham crackers and heath bar crunch...that is so awesome.
I didn't want to be verbally accosted by anyone else.
HAHA, you said "VERBALLY ACCOSTED", haha!!!
*make fun*
*make fun*
Seriously, who says such big words!? "accosted" Pffffft.
JK JK JK. I'm just playin with ya. I'm just trying to be obnoxioussilly
:(****
aww, sorz
:) I'm just joshing you.
oh come on!!! first of all, it's not like she would hurt a child or hate her own kid if she had one, she just doesnt like them. there's nothing wrong with that. and take it from someone who is in a hall that has about 20 kids under the age of 8...just because they're jw's does not mean the kids are little angels. i've met quite a few little brats in my day.
thankfully my two little brother-in-laws: graham is 5, and heath is 2. are two exceptionally good children, they really are...but as good as they are..it doesnt make me want to have kids right now, because they still get in their moods, and heath starts crying and whinning, it's not fun.
Hey! There's nothing wrong with being a 26 year old single father of two with absolutely no life! LOL!
Actually, I totally agree with you. Having kids immediately after getting married seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I know I want to have kids if I ever end up getting married, but absolutely not right away. Possibly not even in this system.
I'm like "whatever." It'll depend on the wifey. If she wants kids -- fine. If I do have 'em I want 'em to have really cheesy names.
Your family would be so adorable "The Valentines" *sigh*
Your fictious family sounds so wholesome and perfect... like the playskool family =P
i guess i've grown to like my last name. i used to hate it. girls like it. actually, i had an ex girlfriend tearfully tell me she'll be sad that she won't get to have my last name. she liked my name more than me! yeesh.
darn i was hoping you were gunna say you were prego. I like hearing new baby news so long as it is not me right now. ha ha
guys. i'm pregnant . . . with tacos.
due any minute now . . . *heads to the bathroom*
ur my idol....
I'm turning 27 next month and I have absolutely no desire to have children. If it happens, i'll be happy, but if it doesn't happen, I'll be happier.
also i think my 20's and even early 30's .. i'm still a kid.. my husband's younger than me so .. he's still a kid. Ideally if it was to happen I'd love for it to happen when I'm like.. closer to 35. Because then I can relive all those youthful things when I no longer feel like a kid myself.
but then again, who knows, maybe i'll still feel like a kid at 35
i would just like to say that this may or may not have to do with where you are now. because LI is a little different and the whole area of NY you were used to has a bit of a different culture whereas PA may have more of a 'get married young, then have babies mentality', which may explain this.
This is just what i think..
yea that is true, i think people in LI are more concerned with going to college & having a good career...and THEN think about kids. so i do think it does have to do with being in red lion, pa..but still, it's rough when everyones asking when you're gonna have kids, and you're like...um...never? haha i dunno.
remember back in the day, when no one on ezabel was married or parents. We'd talk about stupid things, free of responsibility, hang out, etc.
NOW: we talk about stupid things, but sometimes they are related to bigger issues, and we talk about responsibilities, and decisions. We don't hang out much.
I remember when I started on Ezabel, my hardest decision on life was what to call myself. I had a few names I was tossing about...marmalade lagoon, etc. Now, I have to make decisions regarding what will affect my ability to live on my own, remain spiritually strong, and make my service time. Crazy.
yeah, it's just a part of growing up though. i think most of us have managed to remain as immature as possible while still handling our business.
haha! i LOVE this comment cuz i think it totally explains me. i think i do what i have to do, (and want to do) meetings, service, study, cooking, cleaning, work, etc. but think i'm still as "crazy" as i was at 18. i actually love it. i still talk to my bestfriends (tina & deanna) every single day and laugh like a lunatic, make stupid faces at my husband, just to bug him..
OH! and mark my words, i will NEVER get "the mom haircut" even if your not a mom, it seems like everyone when they turn 30, 35, gets that real short, i don't want to bother doing my hair, haircut. I HATE THAT! i want to always have shoulder length hair until i'm like 60, when it starts getting gray & gross. haha
does Lauren have a "mom" haircut? b/c she got it cut and she looks hot.
nah, she didnt get it cut THAT short...
no no no! haha i like her haircut a lot. the mom hair cut is like, up to your ears, short.
wait wait Lauren is the preggo?
someone kill me if i ever drive a minivan
haha I KNOW.. WHYYYY get a minivan when a SUV is the same thing and BETTER LOOKING. OH MAN I HATE minivans. i HATE that they ever were invented. my kids are gunna be in my jeep forEVER i dont plan on getting a "family vehicle" ha wheres the fun in that. ha. although a hummer might be nice.
haha, exactly! why would you EVER drive a minivan?? and i hate station wagons too, even beamer station wagons. when i have my clan of kids, we'll be driving a navigator, or tahoe or something, no ghey vans!
stationwagons. YIKES.. my husband likes the new one ooo who is it from its not bad but i would NEVER get a stationwagon. Minivan or station wagan i would be condeming myself to other people hating me and then being in the stationwagon minivan weird peoples club.all those people who have them are a little off to me. just something about them. ha But I do want a Wagonier.
I'd take the Subaru WRX wagon anyday.
Oh it's the Magnum from Dodge that he likes.
I am not into cars but I would take this car anyday. the look is cool. http://www.bmwusa.com/vehicles/m/m5sedan/default
but my dream car as of now, is the Mercades G-Class. Mmm thats a nice Army Vehicle. Gimme Gimme Gimme
Magnum is a typical guy car. The M5 is . . . immaculate. I could totally see you driving a G500. It's always funny for me to see a little girl in a big expensive truck.
Yeah my sis in law was drivin her dad's Escalade and i told her in that big thing she looked like a mafia princess..
a girl in my hall has a minivan SOLELY because it is a good service car
she doesn't really plan to ever have kids
i admire that
i couldnt' do it
minivan... NEVER
that's the gayest thing i've ever heard. i don't admire her, i think it's ridiculous. haha i'm sure you can do service just as well in a 5 seater car.
yeah, well, you know, how some people like to be able to say "I can fit seven people!!" .. i guess.. that gives them.. a few extra days of everlasting life
haha i duno
hahaha, i seee.
Hahahaha, don't feel bad about admiring her for her minivan. it's a cool thing, if you ask me. for bar hopping.
LOL! well i admire her i guess for the sacrifice of having a minivan instead of a 'cool' little car even though she's like 25 or something, and it does not look cool to be driving around a minivan
i admire the fact that i know if i was asked to trade in my Xterra for a minivan... heck.. even if i was asked to trade in my 1993 chrysler for a minivan, i would say HECK TO THE NIZZO no matter what the reason was, i think
haha
unless it was like "you can fit more people to escape the government that is coming to kill us all" thennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn perhaps i'd drive a minivan
but only for that time
and only if everyone i came in contact with promised to forget the fact that i drove it
and never bring it up again
even after 1000000000000000000000000000 years in the new system
thats why there's SUV's....they'rr making em so more peeps can fit in....DOWN WITH THE MINIVAN! lol
Don't start talking about mortgages - Mike'll freak out. I miss being 17. We had so much fun then...
hahaha, dude, i cant handle boring conversations.. especially since its like the SAME conversation 20 billion times, lol. Im sorry, but ill NEVER be that old to sit around and discuss morgages...
maybe you'll learn how to spell "mortgages" lol
how about you go play in traffic...
i am baby
i'm um 30ish and i dont ever want kids....im still a big kid myself. I've been around kids all my life (i'm mexican.....duh) been an aunt since i was 8 and my sisters have kept adding to the family ever since (did i mention i'm mexican?)....so yeah since being around the nieces and nephews...i've come to realize cute itty bitty little babies morph into devil spawn and it's all downhill from there! LOL
as for talking of mortgages and "adult" things....yeah i can take it or leave it. LOL. I mean i have a mortgage...tons of responsibilities....which i to accept & take on...but as for talking about them....BORING...thats a sure way to get me to zone out into my own little cartoon filled world. LOL
I'm obsessed with babies right now....but I respect the opinions of those who don't have the desire to have any of their own, either soon or in the future. It's a huge thing, and to be honest, I didn't care for a certain age of my son's life....the whole toddler thing, at about 3 years old....wow....rough times. I can say for sure that, if I hadn't had my son at such a young age, I still, at the age of 25, may not have the desire for any. On the same note, however, I wouldn't change a thing about having my son.....one of the biggest joys in my life.
You can bet though, that we'll be adding to our family by the end of the year.....that's all I'M sayin'.
that musta been a really rockin' trip to jersey, eh mama?
Hahaha.....nah, Jersey had nothin' to do with that.....although the trip WAS ROCKIN!!!!! AWESOMELY GOOD TIMES!!!!
Just to clarify...I am not currently.....but I WILL be......I just reread that and realized that it sounded a LOT like a big 'ol rumor starting......hahahaha.
yeah whats with this baby bandwagon that starts around age 20-30. so wierd right? i mean, who has babies during those years, it's like unheard of
oh hey, guys when will i lose this thing on my belly?
sorry i forgot to tell you, you were passed out. There will be another 2 and a half trimesters to go...
I'm engaged. I do want kids.. but NOT right away. 3 years later maybe, we'll see :)
Congrats!! when's the wedding?
We thought 3 years after we were married would be good too. We've almost been married 2 years, and now we are like, maybe 5 or 6 years is a good time to wait.
yay! congrats!
i dont know why but i don't think i like the term "preggers"
I concur. Preggos. Preggers. Pregpeggy. PregrOrama. PreggoEggs... Stop. Just stop.
THANK you! it's not just me
how about pregantus? hahaha (do you remember that ty, from aruba? pregantus with a lizard?)
hahahahhaha...you wanted little lizard babies!!! Me and Jackie still use that word!
pregantus is cool because it's almost another language.
I hate it too!
I just thought of this - a few of the lady attorneys in my office, who are in their mid-thirties, are trying to get pregnant. I want to avoid getting pregnant. It's weird how some couples have to try so hard and other women can get pregnant at the drop of a dime.
"DROP OF A DIME." holy schnikes.
What's the saying supposed to be?
"drop of a hat"
What's the saying involving a dime?
"stop on a dime"
Isn't there something else?
drop of a hat, stop on a dime. but when you "drop a dime" means you rat someone out. on a pay phone. decades ago.
hangin with my friends but i'm hardly ever with em,
if i have static i just drop a dime.
and they're with me in no time..
Does anyone ever meet someones kids and you suddenly want kids but, only if they're as wonderful as the children you've met??? I'm not doing the baby thing but, just curious...
have you caught the preggos?
she's been consoling pierce brosnan since he was fired as james bond. they've . . . hit it off well.
get out of here with that nonsense
lol
yes me and garrett say that all the time. there are 2 wonderful kids, jaden and my niece clare..and we always say that if we were promised a kid 100% exactly like clare or jaden we would have a baby right now...
i have a nephew that is THE RADDEST kid ever and i feel the same...if i were def guaranteed a kid exactly like him, i'd def settle down and have a kid.
UPDATE I now have an actual fantasy daughter her name is Taylor and she's from the most recent Pull Ups commercial.
Her little voice is so sweet she says "Hi my name's Taylor, I'm a big kid now."
**SQEELS**
Preggos is so hot right now.
is there something you want to tell us (wink wink)
there is nothing to say.
UPDATE Jan. 21, 2011....6 years of marriage....expecting our first baby! Glad i stuck to our 5 year rule though! haha ahh how times change!
