FRG Meetings

I just posted this on my Facebook, but I decided to go ahead and do a post on it here.

Let me start out by saying I love kids, I love my friends who have kids and one of these days I do want kids, but everytime I go to an FRG meeting I feel like it pushes my desire to have kids farther and farther back on my timeline.

I don't know if it's because I don't really know most of the women or we just have a plethora of badly behaved children,but everytime I'm at an FRG meeting with tons of kids I just want to scream.

I think it's because the women who have children in our group talk about nothing but their children, not TV shows, not their husbands, not their interests. It's all kids...all the time. Also I witnessed several diaper changes while I was eating as well as a mother who ate a piece of food that her child spit out. Maybe if I was a parent I wouldn't be bothered twice by those things, but the reality is that currently I am not and I was a bit grossed out by both those occurences. Diapers don't really bother me, but while I'm eating? I just find that inappropriate.




Am I the only one who feels this way after an FRG meeting?

Tough Question

My best friend and I were talking today about this and I wanted to know your thoughts.

Would you want your son to be in the military? Why or why not?

On one hand I do, it's an honor, you are serving your country. I think it's a very honorable profession.

On the other hand I worry about Sean and how his body is already broken down more than it should be for a man his age, mostly because of his training and his jumps he does. Also I worry now about future deployments. Will we still be fighting a large, ongoing war when my sons are old enough to be in the military? Can I handle that many more years of worry? Selfishly I want to say no.

I'm on the fence though. Ultimately it wouldn't be up to me or Sean. It would be up to my child.

Let's hear your thoughts ladies!

Wordless Wednesday




The top picture is one of my favorite pictures that I have ever taken. I don't normally take pictures of people, but children are an exception.
