The DIS Support Group

[s&k'smom]

I must say DH never outwardly commented on my weight, just when I couldn't fit into his favorite skirt (of course that skirt resulted in our daughter But when I started to get back into shape he was happy. But I really did it for me as I have always been small so being at a certain weight made me uncomfortable. I think sometimes he says things and doesn't really mean it. His father was a jerk and he certainly didn't have an appropriate role model on how to treat a woman. Is this going off topic? Anyhow good morning everyone.

 

[Rajah]

Truthfully, the only times DH has specifically commented on my weight or shape has been to support or say he loves me that way anyway. This one action he said wasn't meant to be how I took it, and he's not sure what he meant by it. I just know I'm hypersensitive about it because I usually wear jeans and just started wearing a form-fitting workout outfit which is more form-fitting than I'm comfortable with in public.

He's been very sweet and supportive since then. I think he got the hint that he was in trouble after that.

I don't think there's anything that's really off-topic as long as it's supporting others or talking about something that others need support with. And IMO, sharing similar stories can be support.

Good morning everyone!

There is no "specific" topic in this thread...just whatever ya wanna vent to the rest of us...


As for me? Things are good today. Pool install went PERFECT!! Hubby is in an AWSOME mood. I think getting the pool really made a diffence in him, as silly as that sounds, but we are getting along great!!!

Hope everyone is doing good....

Rajah, my hubby used to comment on my weight a lot when i was heavier, as I lost, he commented more on how good i was getting. And when I put on jeans that hadnt fit for years, he told me how good i looked!!

And another side note, my hubbys biological clock is ticking....we got into a having kids discussion again. Basically the ONLY thing stopping it right now, is not enough money Figures. I REALLY want children right now. And this is the perfect time of year to get pregnant,.....My clock is ticking awful.....and hubby just reminded me of it.

Husbands seem to sometimes talk before they think don't they? My sensitive spot right now is my jobless state and how I'm going to correct that. A few days ago, I was trying to get DH's opinion about a financial matter. I take care of the bills and budget but it's nice sometimes to get a bit of input from him. His answer was "get a job". Of course, I dissolved into melt-down mode and let him have it. I've been trying to get an income (I prefer this thinking to "getting a job" at this time) but it's been difficult. I feel bad enough for leaving my last job even though I was totally miserable and literally on the verge of losing it and he knows this so his "advice" wasn't appreciated.

Thanks for the chance to vent. I'm still in an irritable mood about this.

As far as that biological clock goes Dax, I can relate because that is why we have DS now and I originally wasn't going to have any kids. Kids are expensive and I worried about the cost too but someone told me that they're never affordable and to set that aside. I did but it took a while to convince myself.

Good afternoon to everyone else and good luck with that constant weight issue. I need to exercise but it's SO hot. A good excuse I know but I really do want to get out and walk for a change.

I am chatting with Jim at the moment....HATE LIFE!!! Life stinks to the max (80's phrase) thank goodness I have Jordan to think past this moment.

I do not think I can explain how much I hate my life at this moment!!!

I don't have time to read all of this today, I'm at the library and it's about time for someone else to use the computer. My computer is down until I can get rid of a virus.

I just want to offer my prayers and {{hugs}} for anyone that needs them.

I can't check in very often, but please know I will be thinking about you.

As for me, I could use a few {{{hugs}}} myself.

see you soon

Know in your heart that there are many that care for and about you.

Morning all. As for the bio clock I really had it a few years ago. Two years and nothing. One trip to WDW and DS is born. You know there will never be enough money. Good luck Dax, it's funny once you have kids it's so weird how what you thought was important before really takes a back seat. You'll be a great parent. Just think of all the fun WDW trips you'll take your kids on. Have a great weekend everyone.

 

[Rajah]

Good morning everyone. Prayers and hugs to all those who need them this morning, and through the weekend.

 

[s&k'smom]

Morning all, hope you had a grat weekend. This week I should find out about that job. I also have another interview so things seem to be plugging along. But when is this muggy weather going to end around here!!! Just for that we need a support group!

 

[JeniC]

Good Morning all! Well; we survived DS 4th birthday party, the rainy weather forced us to move it from the park to the bowling alley but it went over ok.
DH and I argued the whole weekend; he feels that I don't do my share of 3 am feedings with DD, well when you go to bed at midnight after working all day and doing housework at home all night, and you have be up at 4 am its difficult to get up at 3.

Maybe if we could afford daycare for both then I wouldn't have to work such an odd scheudle. But we can't so we all have to sacrifice.

Just stopping by for a bit of sunshine.

Hope everyone's week is a bit better than last, and doing that is not all that bad. And looking for some smiles here too.

My very best to everyone in need.

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone survived their weekend. Mine was tiring but good. Don't know why, but I've been dead-exhausted the past few days again, and didn't want to do anything but sleep all weekend again. Wish I knew what was causing these cycles of total exhaustion. Otherwise, though, things went well for me. Very well in a few places -- got some good progress done on a project that's due tomorrow morning, so that was good.

s&k -- I hope you get the job you want!!

Jeni -- I'm sorry. Have you talked to him about your schedule vs his schedule? Maybe he doesn't realize just how much you're doing and how difficult it is for you to add 3am feedings into your schedule?

*HUGS* to everyone!!

 

[Dax]

Hey all, Heres to another great week....I hope...

I finally got the pool I have always wanted, and what happens. It has rained everyday since installed. Wha gives? The temp in the water went from 85 to 78 in just a few days....

Otherwise, hubby and i getting along OK, thinks were great until Sat...the it just plummeted. Yesterday was horrid......Oh well...

To the rest of you, hope you all have a good week...

 

[s&k'smom]

Bumping up my friends.

 

[Rajah]

Good morning everyone! Does anyone have a spare pillow? Ugh. I'm glad we're turning over this project to the prof this morning. Assuming he's happy with it, of course. The past couple of nights have been almost no sleep because of working on this project and I am *so* tired today. Must stay awake for the demo then my meeting with my advisor to work out my program plan for my degree.

 

[Dax]

Just a bump...we seem to have gotten lost...


Hope everyone is OK.....Me, soso.....Just hanging in at this point...I think the full moon is making me crazy...or my DH...not sure which yet..LOL

 

[jamsmom]

I am back to the drawing board since I don;t get to be a long term librarian sub at the elementary. I KNOW it is better for the students to have a certified librarian, but sure had my hopes up. Eevn though I am sure the pay would not have been great.

I am amazed at what some companies want to pay someone WITH a degree around here!! One place said $18K. After taxes and insurance, that is around $1200/month. Rent, at the LEAST is $600 for probably a one bedroom. Then with all other bills (electricity, car insurance, ood, etc) not sure how I could make it.

Maybe I am not thinking rationally, though

 

[FloridaCat]

Prayers, PD & {{{{{HUGS}}}}} for all in need or hurting.

 

[Planogirl]

jamsmom, I'm running into the same crazy salaries in my area. I'm not sure how a person is supposed to survive. Hang in there, the good jobs are there just harder to find unfortunately. The economy stinks so the employers have us over a barrel right now but things just HAVE to get better.

Rajah, I hope that you get some rest!

Dax, I wish that you had a chance to enjoy that pool. I can't imagine a pool sitting there and it raining so much.

Jeni, wow you sure are busy. There has to be a good way to solve that situation. Can anyone else help if DH can't (or won't) with the housework at least?

s&k, I'm so glad that you're getting interviews. You're certainly well on the way!

Serena, {{{{hugs}}}} for what ails ya.

Hi Dan!
