I also can't wait to hate-watch! Going with a group of girlfriends to laugh. I started hate-reading the first book but oh man, it was AWFUL. Like... too awful to even hate-read. Really really really terribly written. And I'm a person who read all of the Twilight books. So, some context for ya.

Man, I am NOT cut out for entertaining. I used to like having friends over for drinks and a casual good time, but doing more than making a few appetizers and buying booze stresses me out. Now that I have two really little kids FORGET IT, if someone comes over and I have a beverage other than milk to serve them, I call…

Exactly, my wee ones are on a strict nap/bed schedule and our friends are like, "How do you have free time ever? How?!" Schedules. Naps. Two hours in the middle of the day, and at 7pm, BED. Done. We enjoy the night alone EVERY night! Sanity saving.

I'm in the depths of toddler/babyhood now (an infant and a 2 year old) and good lord, it's a trying time. I love them more than anything, and I bet I'll miss them being young, but damn, I'm really excited for a day when I can converse with them and not wipe their butts a million times a day.

This is my husband's method, I'm sure of it. As I have two tiny children clinging to me, I scream through the door, "ARE YOU SERIOUSLY POOPING FOR THIS LONG?! I SWEAR TO GOD..." and I know he's in there, chuckling, playing some game on his phone, enjoying his 20 minutes. I totally get it. I do this when I have to…

You are lucky! My oldest is 2 and I'm starting to meet moms (Friends of friends, mostly) who I have started hanging out with. Some of their kids are a wee bit older (i'm talking like, 2 years older, tops) but it's SO awesome to be meeting cool like-minded moms. I hope we can get to the level you have with your friends…

I have one that's entering toddlerhood and one baby - man I'm tired, overwhelmed, confused by their crazy baby behavior- your comment REALLY gave me hope that I'll have cool little people to hang out with in a few years! I mean, I like hanging out with them now, but as you know, it's just a LOT OF WORK. A lot.

I know this is a few months late, but just reading all of these comments now. I ADORE my little kids (and they are both under 2) but man I'm overwhelmed and exhausted. Reading this comment totally gave me hope that I won't be so overwhelmed someday!
