Long time no post, right? I am so horrible about it! It's been pretty crazy lately with school and having a two-year-old. Now I'm on spring break, so yay!! I have been working so hard to keep a 4.0 GPA, and I don't even know why... I should be lazy and settle for B's, lol.
I get so annoyed at my friends who don't have kids sometimes. I mean, of course I occasionally want to get a sitter and go out drinking... but why can't my friends occasionally do something that's kid friendly? I love my son, and I love taking him places... and I don't want to be away from him every weekend! I know that's hard for some people to comprehend, but come on!! Invite me to a park, or the zoo... or Chucky Cheese! I mean, it would still be fun! A different kind of fun, yes... but still good! Get to know Aidan, he's a funny, cute kid.
If you have a friend that has a baby, keep in mind that though they will certainly want a break every now and then, they also want to feel like you are happy to go some place kid friendly, and will be ever so grateful if you can just laugh it off if their kid is sleepy and throws a horrible temper tantrum in the middle of a restaurant. Saying things like, "That's why I don't want kids," is just going to hurt their feelings, so keep that thought to yourself! All they hear when you say things like that is, "Wow, you're kids a brat and I don't want to be seen with him/her." And just because their child seems to be cranky when you're out, it doesn't mean they're like that all the time... all mothers want their friends to adore their children, so be supportive and try to make time for your friend AND their little one(s)!
Okay, sorry for my rant!

When my best friend had her baby we were 16, and I did exactly that: invited her to all-night parties, ignored the fact that she had a child, and basically continued to pretend she was a single, available friend. When I finally grew up, years later, I managed to begin going out with her and the kiddo, and now Lilian (who is now 10) is my little friend, who I love very much. I could have missed out on that. Now that I have a kid, I still get a lot of invitations that have to be denied due to kids, even from people with kids!!! I wish Trina/Aidan lived closer, because Ariana had a blast with him. Ariana is going to have tubes put in her ears, and I am scared, and would love my friends to go with me, but who wants to sit and wait for a baby to have surgery? You know, its the things you wouldn't think of that mean the most.

People that do not have kids do not tend to hang out at places like Chuck E Cheese or the park.
Furthermore, when a kid is crying or throwing a temper tantrum in a restaurant; it is annoying.
awww! I'd be honored to to go chucky cheeses with you and aidan. i think it would be fun ;>
Who left the 2nd comment?? lol... because it is SO on!! Yeah, I was a bit emotional when I wrote that blog... it's just hard when you have a child and feel like many of your friends have deserted you...
And if you love your friends, you make sacrifices and go places that you wouldn't normally go, because that's what friends do.
who or what has deserted you my little trina???? I WILL GET THEM.........................
I bet you could kick some ass... lol.
amen sister!
you betta believe it.... ha
Preach it!!!! I feel like I never do anything cuz all my friends want to do is go to the bar. Do they know kids aren't allowed at the bar? Well FYI the aren't!!! OH and you don't have to be drunk to have fun.
