[ - ] I am the disgruntled mom of an only. I love dd to pieces, but really wish I had another child. DH does not want more children. Every time a friend got pregnant with a second (or third, etc.), it made me a little sad inside. A friend just announced she is having a baby, and I'm truly happy for her. Maybe I'm getting over being disgruntled? I hope so. 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Worked for a few different families over the years. Sometimes seven days a week, sometimes only two (weekends). Sometimes I had my own house, other times I had to share a bathroom with the other 5 people living the house. Sometimes I was a slave, other times I was allowed to go out in the evenings if the parents were staying in. At this point in my life, I absolutely will not share a bedroom with a child.

[ - ] How competitive are you with your siblings? Growing up, my brother was a superstar. Made great grades, class president all four years, star of the football team, ended up at Harvard undergrad and Yale grad school. Growing up, I was average. Parents constantly gave him everything he wanted, praised him incessantly, ask why can't you be more like your brother? Now we're adults, both living in NYC and- I know it sounds horrible- It has made me really happy that after all that, DH and I make a lot more money than him, go on nicer vacations, live in a very nice apartment, ect. It seems to bother him a lot DM has even told me that it does at times. He comes right back being just as competitive though. This year we both applied DDs to private Ks, we ended up getting into his and SILs FC and he went on to say the only reason our DD got in is because we prepped her like crazy for the ERB and she would not have been accepted otherwise, that his DD is far more advanced than our DD and the school is going to regret not letting her in. That really crossed the line for me. I love my niece so much and would never make a cut at her like that. I was venting to a DF yesterday and she said her and her DS are just as competitive. Is this true with a lot of siblings? Feels pretty dysfunctional to me. 9 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

If your DH has any intelligence and you feel like you can have an honest conversation with him, then you will be doing him a big favor by telling him how you feel. Depending on how old the kids are, this will be difficult for them. However, if you can split amicably and co-parent amicably, then this will give both you and DH an opportunity to develop new, more personally satisfying relationships, while still looking out for the best interests of the kids.

Your DH has probably figured out that you don't like sex with a man after the first month, so cut him some slack. Depending on who's home when, you can also trying watching via Netflix or DVD all seasons of The L Word, the Real L World, Lip Service (BBC version), and Queer As Folk. If the characters and the way they interact with each other appeals to you, then the next step would be to have a lunchtime beer at Henrietta Hudson, and try to strike up some conversations. At the point, either you will be completely grossed out or your rubyfruit will be tingling. If the rubyfruit is tingling, then it is time to work out some co-parenting guidelines and set DH free.

[ - ] Repeat of post from yesterday (hoping for fresh eyes out there). I'm in DIRE need of a recommendation for a new therapist and Psychopharmacologist. Long story short, I cut them off abruptly in Feb after going off my meds and they now decline to treat me (understandably so). Responders yesterday gave me the name of two but they're not accepting new patients. PLEASE, I'm in Midtown West but will go ANYWHERE- this pain I'm in is horrible and I don't know how longer my mental stamina will hold up enough to keep this pretty much life and death search up.
