Is Being A Moron Genetic?
I don't like to bash my husband, because he is a kind and loving man. That being said, am I about to (in two months or so) give birth to a fucking moron? Because Teddy Bear just brought up spending the day at the race track next month, when I will be just about 8 months pregnant. This will entail a 3+ hour drive each way, and then hours in between spent in a SPEEDING FUCKING CAR ON A RACE TRACK. He was concerned about my hips being too uncomfortable to sit in a car all day. Here is where I say: "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS??!!"
Please tell me, am I being pregnant and fussy or is he out of his fucking mind? If it is the latter option, how about leaving comments that I can use to explain to him the TOTAL FUCKING INSANITY that he is contemplating. He doesn't see how it is any different than having a child in the car while on the track. To which I say: "OMFG no KIDS IN THE CAR AT THE RACETRACK!!!" I need a drink. Or twelve. Deep breaths, Sam. Deep breaths.
Update: TB found this onesie at ThinkGeek.
Awwwww...how cute. I'll keep him. For now.

Does he want you to be in the race car??? Or just watch. Either way I think I would skip it. The 3 hours in the car with sore hips doesn't sound like a day at the race track would be much fun. That is a cute onsie though.
Help me understand this...Will you be involved in the race? Or are you going to watch the cars go around the track?
Either way, I can think of several other things to do that you have to drive 3 and a half hours to reach. Of course, hardly any of those things would allow pregnant women to join in the fun(Magic Mountain, Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Wine tasting in Napa, etc).
Unfortunately, given your condition, long drives and boisterous activities are not in your immediate future.
Sam,
How about something along the lines of, "Hon, you know I love you. But I wouldn't volunteer for a long drive right now, and cannot imagine I will feel any better about long confinement like that anytime soon. Maybe after the baby is weaned and started to school. Just kidding. Sorta."
Dreams die hard. Consider the proposed outing a tribute to how active and involved he thinks of you. Maybe, perhaps you are keeping a bit of the burdens of being pregnant to yourself. Continuing activities and exercise and keeping life on keel is important. But so is helping TB understand your fears and concerns and limitations - real or perceived.
Besides, he might be planning on taking a Winnebago to the track, with on-hand toilet, kitchenette (stocked with food), and place to stretch or lay down.
I might be tempted to whack him with a pillow, though, for suggesting you climb into a race car before the kid is in the grandparent's hands for safekeeping.
Remember - hate the mistake, not the mistaker. One silly idea doesn't make one a Silly Sally. Or even three. In the same day. Though that might be pushing it.
Oh it is nice Brad wants to be diplomatic and all, but while I might not go as far as calling TB a moron (dumbass maybe), this idea is moronic. Men don't have a clue how hard it is to be pregnant, the level of discomfort involved even when you feel okay during it, nevermind feeling the way you do most of the time. Just say no. No to the long drive (hips, bladder squished flatter than a used condom), no to sitting around in or out of a race car all day, just NO. And certainly NO KIDS IN A RACECAR. Lordy.
I'm gonna just have to say NO.
No 3 hours each way with bad hips.
No racecar, while preggers.
Just no. NO.
You can word it nicely since he found the cute onsie, but the answer is still "No, thank you". He can go and you can indulge in a day of debauchery with NLF and get yer toesies done, buy him some nipple clips (or whatev you fancy doing).
Just my 2 cents....

He is clearly not thinking before speaking. You cannot possibly sit in a car for 6 hours roundtrip and be expected to ride in a racecar?????!!!!
Smack him up side the head and go on a picnic instead - or something that doesn't inflict discomfort on the mommy to be!!
TB, are you effin retarded???? NO WAY you can actually think that is a good idea for an about-to-pop pregnant woman!!!! NO!
Yes, he is out of his fucking mind! I rode in a speed boat at 6 months & I regretted every second. The baby was bouncing like a basket ball. I am still shocked he came out normal!
it is posts like these that just make me thankful. gawd only knows what adam would want to do with a baby and im glad it only ever comes up hypothetically because it does and we argue over that so NO you are NOT out of your fucking mind. not at all.
does he not understand that you are almost on bed rest? he needs to rent a motor home if he expects you to go...then you have *some* comforts of home and can lay down like you are supposed to...
while you are renting that motor home, come up this way...you know i will meet you half way... :)
peace...
That comment deserves a hard thwack to the forehead.
Yes to the transgendering queef question and a big NO to being
in a race car for all the reasons mentioned above.
Love the newbie onesie.
I'm reading backwards, and was so hoping that you were feeling better, but I'm not thinking a 3 hr. drive, then confinement in a racecar will help you one bit.
TB, you were kidding, right?
Thought so.
Cathi
based on this idea of his, i'm thinking TB might not make a very good babysitter for Egg.
just a hunch.
