    Debate Roundabouts: Efficiency in Action or Vortex of Death

    My first experience with a roundabout was in Australia driving on the other side. It was not fun and I hated them. After living in Europe for a few years and becoming comfortable with them I now despise not using them. It is just ike anything else with driving it takes practice to get used to...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I just returned to work after 2.5 years as a stay at home parent. Now that I am back into the swing of things I can say without a doubt staying at home has been the hardest job that I have had. That being said, I always kept the house clean, ran all the errands, made dinner every night( all...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I was in the same situation that some of you are describing here, sex slowed down after the first child arrived and then really slowed after the second child came. Life gets busy and 2 children under the age of 3 make it difficult to spend any quality alone time together. For me the hardest part...

    On a related note my daughter is 2.5 and we call her baby girl (insert name here). She now replies that she's not a baby she is big girl (insert name here). It's cute but also makes me a little sad.

    I think I have mentioned it here before but its in their own interest to refer your child to to a program of some sort. My wife once talked to a speech therapist briefly about our son in passing and without even seeing our son she recommended that we start a program immediately. I told my wife...

    With both of out children we told any that asked what we had a list of names but we weren't sharing them. We decided on our sons name after he was born but on our daughters before. My sister was the only person that was upset we wouldnt tell her.

    I'm the stay at home parent and it has its ups and downs. On my wife's 20 minute commute she likes to call and tell me about her day. She doesn't mind that I am cooking dinner and fending off a 4 and almost 2 year old. I just conveniently miss place my phone around dinner now.

    My wife and I have friends that had been trying for a few years before us. This scared her into thinking it was never going to happen for us and we started a year earlier than planned. 2 months later she is pregnant and I'm not finished with school yet. We ended up having 2 children before they...

    I drive a minivan and I love it. Sliding doors makes loading kids up trival. When we first moved back to the states we borrowed a Honda Pilot until our van arrived. My daughter was only 5 months old and putting her in and out of that was a hassle at any busy parkinglot.

    Annoying shit your wife does

    My wife does many of the same annoying things. -Always late - doesn't want to pick dinner but hates all the ideas - hates a logical response to any of her emotional outbursts I would say the two biggest pet peeves are that she is bad at interrupting while I am explaining something. Just...

    My 3 year old asks tons of questions and I do my very best to answer them. However, sometimes I just tell him I am not sure and he normally walks away to ponder it. The car is the worst though because I can't see what he is pointing at and th at frustrates him. I am coming up on 1 year as a...

    My son started doing this same thing around the age of 3 and I would just take him to his room. I explained he wasn't in trouble and he could come out when he felt better. It took awhile but after a few steps towards his room he would stop his behavior and say look I feel better. Now my daughter...

    Well that's a relief. All my neighbors are retired so they keep a good look out here. They know how many walks we take and when the wife leaves for work. Also a bit weird.

    My wife used to interrupt me constantly also, then at some point I started walking away the second she started talking over me. As I walk away i remind her that if she can't allow me the opportunity to finish my thought then the conversation is already over. I also refuse to speak anymore on...

    We have really well set up bike lanes and crosswalks around our town. The only problem are the people who don't stop before turning right on red. They are to busy checking for cross traffic that they don't even give it it a quick glance. If they do stop it's right in the actual cross walk...

    Well, this has taken a weird turn for the parent thread.

    I think I have mentioned this before but anytime I would try to comfort or accommodate my wife while she was being irrational she would actually just get worse. The harder I would try the crazier she would act until I would flip out and tell her to f*ck right off with her bs. It would instantly...

    I don't know the exact figure to be honest. They live in Boston and we are in the Midwest. They just had a wedding out in San Francisco and she was talking about it. "Great money" were the words she used. Her husband has a great job and her school is paid for by scholarship that includes a...
