New kids on the block

Now that it has been about a week and a half, Wolfgang and I are finally (mostly) settled in to our new apt at "TVA" aka "temple view apartments" aka married student ('on-campus') housing aka "baby factory," which is not an understatement. It's fun to have our first ever own place to live, but I forgot what it was like to live in a complex. Depending on what end of apt you are, and your neighbors are in the same area of their house, you can hear each others' conversations.

Another thing I can hear a lot of, are them:




Unhappy babies. I'm either privileged in waking up with them crying and screaming at 4am or anytime during the day, sometimes continuously for an hour or more. My heart goes out to the parents, but also secretly in the back of my mind I also think, COME ON!

Obviously I don't know what it's like raising children, and I'm just being truly insensitive. There, I said it for you. All I have to say, that it's good birth control for right now, not that I wanted to rush into having children anytime soon anyway.

So there you have it, the day in the life of a TVA newlywed with no kids.

Oh my gosh! This post made me laugh so hard. I was sitting in front of my computer laughing and my roommates gave me the weirdest look. So, I shared what you said with them...I hope you don't mind. I love how honest you are, haha!

...Baby factory...that's classic :) (and SO true)

You make me feel bad! I sometimes leave my rotten kid screaming in his room for an hour! I guess I need to give my neighbors some cookies and apologize!

haha, I'm glad you thought it was funny! And of course I don't care :) It makes me happy when people get my humor and when they don't, it makes me feel dumb, lol.

and Robyn, haha oh please! Like I said, I clearly don't know what it's like to raise kids...don't feel bad :)
