I know you are all wondering how a mother can be mommyjacked by another mother. That's meta, right?
We were asked at the end of the class to discuss with a neighbor how we juggle exercise and a baby.
So I started talking about Subversive Dog, who's an 80 lb handful who must be walked twice a day, every day, for about an hour each walk. And, by walk, mean power walk while wearing or pushing a 15 lb baby. Excellent cardio with resistance until we run into a squirrel. Then it's an X-Game.
The lady I erroneously decided to engage with said "Please. I have a 4 year old and an 18 month old. THAT's a handful." Repeatedly.
I think her children broke her brain. I was genuinely concerned and debated finding stroke information. We were in a library, after all.
Oh, sure, I could have gone into how German Shepherds have the intelligence of a two year old child. That would mean that I'm juggling an infant and a toddler, which should trump a preschooler that she lost somewhere in the library anyway, but I really didn't want to worsen her condition.
Never thought I'd be mommyjacked once I became a mom, but I guess I have to become a Dugger to ever be able to trump anyone at this game. DO NOT WANT.
And, sadly, this will most likely be my final chapter in the Thunderdome saga. We have decided to uproot and move to Vancouver Island. So, until I find other parent/infant playgroups to feed the blog beast, this entertaining segment of my life is now at an end.
I can only dream of what crazy will come my way in the land of the newly wed and the nearly dead. I'm sure I won't be at a loss for future material.
I can't handle other moms, i went to ONE mommy group thing as these crazy bitches were looking at me all weird cause I didnt throw my (at the time) 2 month old baby into the pit of 7-10 month old babies. And some of those women believed in potty training 6 month olds by holding them over the toilet whenever they had to go. That drastically cuts into my video game and pinterest time. And its freaking insane.
ReplyDeleteYou can still play video games? I miss Zelda soooooo much.
DeleteA friend of mine wanted to hook me up with her doula friend when I was pregnant. I questioned my friendship for a moment when she actually thought that telling me this doula practiced and encouraged elimination communication was a selling point. Needless to say, I declined the generous offer. That's cool if you wanna try it, but infants are challenging enough without added pressures.
