I start getting anxious. Like I’ve got to get up and move. But there’s not a whole lot of getting up and moving that you can do in an airplane.

Filed under FML. Woke up at 6-something to a noise I thought was maybe the furnace failing again, sort of a roaring sound. Nope, it was the sound of water from the laundry room. Go downstairs and walk into 2" inches of water in the hall and laundry room. Old valve that used to hook up to a long gone water softener had burst. Water was SHOOTING out of this thing not just running out. Want a ******* mess. So now have no water and need a plumber. Gonna be sorting and tossing ruined stuff this morning. ****.
Why would anyone want to bring a kid into this world
Expensive. Tough on a marriage. Stressful.

Best things in life are tough and stressful. Who cares if they are expensive, you can't take it with you.
We had to replace a softener and dishwasher in the last couple of weeks so the plumber has been at our house a bunch lately.
Our plumber has a daughter that is the same age as my younger daughter. I took my daughter and a couple of friends to the volleyball game on Friday. The plumber's daughter came and sat by my daughter. So, as it turns out, I ended up sitting by plumber's wife while he was at my house.
Anyway, if you need the name of a plumber, I can give you his contact info.
The first time I ever flew was from Chicago to London with a layover in Minneapolis. After the first hour-long flight I thought 'that wasn't so bad, I can handle this!' The 8 hour-long flight to Heathrow was a different story. I got stuck in the middle seat and the person with the window seat shut the blind before we even took off so I didn't even get to look out the window.
Last time I flew to London I was stuck in a middle seat, the entertainment wasn't working and the ******* in front of me had his seat reclined the moment the plane left the ground. I had brought a book of crosswords but you can only do so many crosswords.
My son helped drywall our garage this weekend. My wife looked out on us and told him to put on a hat because he would get sick. Your reply is exactly the reply that he gave her. She didn't want to hear that reply.
Wasn't there a movie called "The Plumber's Wife"? Or was it "The Preacher's Wife"? Either way, just don't look adulterous. People will talk.
There was The Butcher's Wife with Demi Moore. Not sure fooling around with a butcher's wife would be a good idea. All those knives and cleavers.

Why would anyone want to own a house? Expensive, stressful, tough on a marriage.
The flight back sucked being super preg. I was so uncomfortable in the seat.
baby mohawks.
When people ask why we had a kid (first of all, why? Why do you do that? Not you, knappschack, I get this is a general post, but I've had people ask us directly) my response is usually "we got tired of sleeping all night so we decided to shake things up"
I mean, i’m pretty sure tough, stressful, and expensive also applies to Iowa State season tickets, but those are really fun to get.
Wait, people ask that directly? As you said, why? And so the questions go, “when are you getting a SO?” “When are you getting married?” “When are you having a kid?” “Why did you have a kid?”?
I sometimes wonder if it is a generational thing. There seems to be more people in our generation that don't want kids, houses etc. Not sure why other than they are trying to justify everything based off of it's strain on their current life.
Yeah I've gotten a couple "what made you decide/why did you have a kid?" I think a close friend asked in a genuine way (they are also considering) so I was more open in that answer but sometimes it's just people being nosy. Also got asked "so was this planned?" after we announced. Like for real WTF on that.
In a way it’s a generational thing, but mostly becaue the millennial generation CAN’T do it. They’re strapped with massive debt from the get-go because it’s harder and harder to find a job without a college degree yet college education costs have skyrocketed at a rate significantly higher than inflation and then when they do graduate with $50k of debt, the jobs they CAN get are entry level minimal pay jobs because boomers refuse to retire so they get stuck in ****** jobs with no upward mobility but they have to keep it because of the massive cost of healthcare. A lot of people in our generation CAN’T have children because they literally can’t afford it.
