Ignore MH...   he’s being a weirdo...   You’re not “married” until you darn well want to be married...   not when MH thinks you are.   ::)

Not to worry.  I have been thinking about things for a while now, even without Michael's prompting.  Is this real? Is this permanent? Do I want it to be? Is she the one? Will the things that annoy me about her still annoy me in 5 years?   Is this really as good as it gets?  Would I be wondering that if she was really "the one"?  Should I be feeling magical euphoria? I mean, I'm happy, but don't feel euphoria, and what if I meet somebody later who makes me feel euphoria?  Is the idea that the right person makes you feel euphoria just a dumb myth from romance stories?

I may be overthinking things a little.

Part of long term is recognizing when the other needs alone time.  It's a struggle but one of the closers really...

It might be a struggle for as long as we're together. She craves constant companionship, and I can't deal with it. We'll probably be trying to find a balance forever.

I didn't mean to presume but I guess I did.  It seems to me after a year and no major problems you're in it.  Living together for that long is commonlaw right ?

But don't get all weird about it, especially on my account.

Don't worry, I can get plenty weird without any help from you.  :P 

We're not living together, btw. I'm still not ready to give up my own space.  The idea of living together is one of the things I'm getting weird about.

OOOooh,  my mistake then.  Forget what I said....

In my experience the quest for balance comes from playing it out.

Joan and I have a thing where we ask each other what the other's number is, out of 10.  It's to find out if silence means it's ok or brooding.

New Years resolutions are dumb.  You can improve your life at any time.  I eat bad foods, and want to keep eating them until i choose not to.  Last year I ate well for about 6 months and lost about 15 lbs.  Either way, i'm a sexy motherfucker and i'm getting laid regularly by a hot piece of a$$ so whatevs.

April might be a little earlydepending on what you want to do. We were at Lake Louise once in late May and there was still a fair amount of ice on the lake.

I doubt they’re hiking into the mountains.  Cars and hotels will be plenty warm enough in April.

I kind of want to go to sugar bush in Quebec... hard to say how a baby would like it.

I suspect the taste of fresh maple syrup would appeal to any baby. Just make sure you cool it down a bit first.

- Get Easy into daycare



Not to understate the other challenges of the early stages, but starting daycare is probably the worst one of the infant/toddler stage.  Their screams, our guilt, it's so awful.

One thing I learned with my older one though which made it a bit easier with the little one....

I saw several kids in kindergarten who had never been to daycare or preschool and they were worse off than the kids who had learned to deal with their separation from an earlier age.  It took months, not weeks, to get them to stop crying.  One mom had to stay every day until around Christmas.  The kid also wasn't very socialized to play with other kids.

So when my second one started daycare as difficult as it was, I kept reminding myself that the day has to come some day and it eased the pain.

Hope this helps you guys...

It DOES help BC.

Daycare now facilitates a program where you ease in over time.  An hour... Half a day.. etc.

And we have had baby sitters for the evenings, and half hours at the gym daycare frequently...

GOOD.

How can I help you post more?

More arcane subjects? Nostalgic?

Personal like the Debt Culture thread?
