I know this comment is a few months late, but I have to say, I’m so glad that you wrote at Parent Dish. (even though some people really had sticks up their butts) I found you there through some totally unrelated search and after that I read your updates faithfully. You are so funny and relatable and I was so bummed when I found out you were leaving PD. That was, until I stalked you and found your blog here! I’ve read all of it up until this blog and I’ve loved reading about your life and family. My son is a month younger than Riley and my daughter is a few months older than Dylan and it’s so fun and refreshing to read about you raising your kids and say “Exactly! That’s EXACTLY how I feel!” You are amazing with words and I feel priveleged to get a glimpse into your life.

Good decision to let go of PD. You don’t need to provide more fodder for those cranky people! It’s too bad it has to be that way, but sadly it is what it is.

My weekend rocked ass. My buddy had his birthday party, and I managed to have a ton of fun and NOT get in trouble, or get seduced by any shady but highly attractive country girls, and not get any DUI’s, and generally managed to wrangle a ton of one on one fun time out of my long time friend despite his betrothed control hag. (I won, yay)

And I even knew I was feeling lazy so I went to McDonalds and got ten southern style chicken sandwiches so I wouldn’t have to cook all weekend. It was friggin awesome, and just so you know, McDonalds meat last indefinately, but their buns last one and a half days before becoming unbearable soggy and too-long-submerged-life-cereal-like.

Yeah for breaking up with PD! Feels good, huh? In a warped selfish way I am glad because I dislike the meanies over there but your take on parenting cracks me up so I would be forced to do the death march over there every once in awhile.

PS- have you signed up yourself and every family member with an address for similac coupons? (hint: say you are thinking about breastfeeding and they’ll send you more coupons!) Or you can just buy them on ebay and craigslist.

After going back to see the rest of the comments on PD I had to say to myself, “WTF, Mate?” Crazy bitches, indeed! Congrats on ridding yourself of the bad vibes! I need to take a Tums now because my stomach hurts from reading all the negative dribble! Who needs it? Not you!

My god, that video was awesome.

Not to sound all stalker-ish and stuff but even though I don’t know you, I love reading about you and your family and I totally relate and would absolutely enjoy your friendship in real life. You know, if I lived down the street from you.

And you lady are looking fine! Happy Birthday indeed to JB!

Oh Dylan! My goodness your boys are handsome.

Sounds like you made the right decision about PD. I wouldn’t have handled all that judgement nearly as well. That kinds of thing really gets into my head and F–KS with my mind.
