Pirate Dirge gonk I think Furniture Row is stalking us. For both deliveries, they have somehow managed to set them up the exact day and window of time that doesn't allow Chris to come to the prenatal visit. They set up 1-2 days before they deliver, so it's a bit creepy.
That place drives me crazy! We ordered furniture from them in Jan, told we would get it the last week of February b/c of back order. We called EVERY week after the last week in February. FINALLY got it the last week of March. They said they would deliver it between 8 and 9 am. Because we explained to them that my husband is in the military and I have class. They showed up almost two Hours late and I missed a VERY important review class.
*Kicks the FR*

Pirate Dirge I HATE health care....-cough- professionals...who aren't professional at all and will treat a person badly based on perceived age and weight. I'm so ready to b***h up a storm after my last check here. May I ask what happened? eek

Erg, I get so tired of listening to people's flippin' lectures about "young pregnancies".
I will admit, getting pregnant was a total surprise for me, I was definently not expecting it, so having kids is happening sooner than expected. But I feel like I'm defending myself ALL the time. Someone will turn to me and say something to effect of "Well, you're life will definently be different now with you being so careless and getting pregnant so young; and who knows if the father will be around."
And I'll turn around and reply that first off, I'm married and that while yes it was a surprise to happen this quickly, that we were planning on children anyways. So it just happened sooner than we were expecting but that doesn't change anything. We're still going to raise ALL our children
and be the best parents we can be.
And usually there's this placating grin and a pat on the leg, "That's what they all say dear."

Hikari I tell people my parents had me in 1982...they graduated highschool in 1981 (and got married in 1981 my mom was pregnant with me when they got married) and this year they will have been together for 25 years.
My grandparents were married young and stayed together.
I got married at 18, CHOSE to get pregnant at 20 and am closing in on year 6.
Just because it seems rare doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Sure half of all marriages end in divorce. But that's HALF that stay together. I mean just out of 1 million marriages that's alot. A LOT of people still staying together.
And that crap about babies changing your life...Well at ANY age they'll do that. Besides, I know I had a lot more free time when I didn't have kids but I'm not sure exactly what I did with all that free time besides sit around and watch TV... xd

Yeah, funny how they forget about the 1/2 that do stay together. xd
I got married at 20 and we just celebrated 3 years, which is half the length the average marriage that ends in divorce lasts. And at 23, almost 24, people still acted like I was too young to have kids: especially back home which is a University town and things are different there then everywhere else.
Don't let them bother you too much.
Hehe, I second that part about what you really do before kids. Watch a lot of TV and sit on the computer all day. Yep, sure going to miss all that excitement.

rolleyes Ugh! Some people! Hon, don't let them get to you! I got married at 19. We didn't have kids right off (turns out I could have had kids right off anyway), but we do have 2 kiddos now and guess what? We'll be celebrating our 21st anniversary in September. If you guys are determined to make it work, you can!

I got married at 18 and am still with my husband (and our two kiddos) 6 years later!
I don't put much stock into all that doom and gloom talk about how people who marry young WILL FAIL OHNOES!!!!!11
I say, it depends on the specific people involved and how they handle things.

Dear People of Gaia who commission me,
The name of my art shop is "It's NOT Anime". As further sevice to you I have provided links to my art samples so you know what the artwork is going to look like. Please either brush up on what real people who have actual musculature and rib cages look like compared to anime, or STOP ORDERING ART FROM ME!
Thank you
Pen

Heh that the things you find out, everyone has an opinion and some people just looooove to tell you theirs. I too am part of the married young club (I was 19) and we'll be married 5 years this year.
Hell, my ILs were married young and their 45th anniversary is this weekend.

Parents who play favorites.
An IM convo with my little brother earlier today. (Know that I used to get grounded for Cs):
------------ (8:05:50 PM): so how is your school year
ElaineRose (8:05:59 PM): Okay, and yours?
------------ (8:07:23 PM): fine but i have 3 F's dad knows and suprisingly is not that mad
ElaineRose (8:08:00 PM): WHAT?
------------ (8:09:26 PM): yeap 3
------------ (8:09:35 PM): no sorry i mean 4
ElaineRose (8:09:36 PM): ....and dad's not that mad?!
ElaineRose (8:09:39 PM): HOW?
------------ (8:09:52 PM): i have no fuking idea
ElaineRose (8:10:12 PM): did you get into trouble?
------------ (8:10:49 PM): not much just he is disapointed dont worry teir going up
ElaineRose (8:11:10 PM): Kay
Yeah... I'm ElaineRose. My dad ALWAYS played favorites. He'd spend half an hour WATCHING my little brother practice gymnastics while I cooked dinner! I did laundry, I made sure he was up on time for everything... *sigh* LOTS of anger issues here.
I know this is a parents guild... Please, parents... DON'T play favorites... it causes a lot of hurt

Permissive parenting sucks too, especially when paired with favourites and which child gets all the expectations and responsibilities.
gonk
/has a rant and a half about that topic

Expectations, responsibilities, everything. I had to cook dinner, clean, do the laundry, and get grounded for Cs... starting at 11.
*sigh* Being the oldest sucks sometimes... He's done some shitty things to me.
At least he doesn't seem to be spewing the s**t part onto my brother.

XD My aunt Jule told people that I had my son at too young of an age. Of course she didn't say that to my face. I had to hear that from other people. rolleyes
My Aunt Lynn had her first child uh...at about 19? I'm obviously an exception though. wink
My dad was more permissive with my brother in ways...because he was a boy. Yet in others he expected more...because he was a boy.
It was very weird growing up in my house. XD

Ok, I'm getting frustrated. I've been on Gaia for almost a year now and I *still* can't tell what's just poor taste and what actually breaks Gaia's TOS.
I like to go to the chatterbox because there are lots of polls, so I can earn gold without begging. Unfortunately, I come across lots of polls that are creepy (just today I saw one asking for photos of underwear, one saying he'll do ANYTHING for gold, etc...)
Can anyone either:
1- suggest a better way to earn gold
2- clarify what crosses the line
3- tell me where I get that information.
Almost a year and I still feel like an ignorant little noob! stressed
