Lets Talk Baby Fever and Jackasses

Saturday we spent the day celebrating Chris and Jamie's birthdays by the pool! My favorite summer days are spent with my best friends at the pool! This girl LOVES the sun and its perfect pool weather in Houston right now. By mid-May you wont be able to be outside for more than an hour without being brutally sunburnt and having a heat stroak and Im not joking! Its 100+ by June! So we embrace the "cool" summer weather while we can and by cool I mean it was in the 90s Saturday!

Anywho, My FAVORITE little munchkin came to play! Reghina was one of my first friends to have a baby, that I get to see all the time, so Im really close with this little one!


I mean who in the world wouldnt be on cloud 9 to play with her!! Sweetest baby bear ever!



Well, there was a guy acquaintance of one of our friends {insert jackass here} who had quite the smart mouth. You know, one of those people who immediately feels like he knows you well enough to say whatever he wants {insert rude, smart ass shit here}. Typically I can find some humor in these people. He on the otherhand was a completely different story. If he said "OHHHHHH someone has baby fever" one time he said it 300. I kid you not, he spent at least 30 minutes telling my boyfriend to "wrap up twice" {Dumb fuck... Any and everyone knows using 2 condoms only causes more friction and causes both condoms to break. Did you NOT listen in sex education??} and to "watch me" because I was going to get "accidently" pregnant and trap him! Lets get something straight real quick, Ive been around the block a time or two and I am fully aware of the fact that "trapping" someone by having a baby DOES NOT WORK nor would I EVER even think of doing such a thing. The only person who ends up "trapped" is the Mother caring for the child. Who in the world thinks its okay to say things like this to people he doesnt KNOW. I was so shocked that I didnt even have a smart ass comment to shoot back at him which is so unlike me.

Regardless of his ignorance, what really upset me is how I felt like I had to defend myself.

WHY Kristen? There is NOTHING wrong with having a baby. I am 26 years old. I have a damn good job and I have no doubt that if I found out tomorrow I was pregnant that I would be the BEST Momma in the world. Tugger can vow to that shizz right there! And there is NOTHING wrong with loving children. Why does it have to be "all baby" or "no baby"? Why cant women in their 20s love on children without immediately being accused of having "baby fever". No jackass I do not have any fever to reproduce. I actually get vodka fever every Friday, which a pregnancy would interfere with. Why cant I just LOVE this baby because she's absolutely KICKASS and playing with her brings out the child in me which I absolutely LOVE!?!  

Personally I think you would have to be heartless not to LOVE that smile.

So here's to LOVING babies even if Im not ready to have one!!

And to loving their Momma's too!!




 I really wish people would just leave others be!! And keep their comments to themselves! Because calling me a conniving baby fever twenty something is RUDE!!

And for the record my boyfriend was the sweetest AMAZING guy throughout the whole ordeal!! Apparently he doesnt think Im out to trap him!!

Im out!

  3. What a cute little munchkin!!! I agree-you can be around babies and love on them all you want...and right now, the best thing about them is giving them away at the end of the day! Some people just don't get that happy medium place-it's either all baby, or no baby!

  5. I definitely agree with your rant! I love babies but now people mention that I should have one or w/e JUST BECAUSE I'm in a committed relationship. Seriously... I want a few but NOT RIGHT NOW. :)

  8. This post is sooo true!! I love it. Its the same thing with getting married....If a girl compliments another girls engagement ring suddenly she's got wedding fever and wants to get married. Men can be so ignorant...the pics are great though! Looks like you guys had a great weekend regardless!

  9. People like that need to be smacked in the face with a stick and served a healthy serving of STFU! I seriously CAN NOT STAND when people are all oh you have baby fever because you are fussing over a baby. Jerks!

  10. I TOTES have the vodka fever as well. And with a cousin with a newborn ten minutes away, I get my baby fever taken care of without having to take her home. My favorite part of playing with babies is eventually giving them back to their mamas :)

    That being said, if I DID have an uh-oh, little Louie says I'd be a great mom, in spite of my forgetting to feed him this morning.

  16. Sounds like I need to move to Texas - that's my kind of weather!

  17. that guy sounds like an ASSHOLE!! Obviously it stuck a nerve with him...maybe he is jealous of your relationship with your boyfriend or something. Anyways no excuse to be a douche! I don't think I could have held back like you and not said exactly what was on my mind! to tell your boyfriend that you were going to "trap" him?? wtf?!! some people...I swear! on a good note- that little girl is ridicously adorable!

  18. people are ridiculous -- I have vodka fever too... and don't think twice about it. yes, you could take care of a baby now but why would you want to? you have plenty of time to reproduce, live it up while you can! glad to hear chris realizes what a catch he has! :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Haha, I'm all about vodka fever right now too...and I absolutely agree about loving children without actually WANTING them at this particular moment...2 nephews is just fine with me right now! :) It sounds like you and your boyfriend handled the jackass situation perfectly! Love your blog!

  20. ...also, I should say - though I have vodka fever it's been a long 9 months and I have not partaken.... [don't want people to think I'm an alchie planning on popping out a crosseyed baby] one day soon though I can see many drinks in my future - once this baby pops out!

  21. People like that are so ridiculous. I feel like it's one thing when someone in your FAMILY is teasing you about baby fever--- but basically a stranger?! I'd have been ticked!!

    I do get annoyed that I can't play with someone else's kid without a bunch of people obviously exchanging glances and someone slipping in a "seeee?! don't you want your own?!"

  22. UGH, what a douchebag! This kinda stuff pisses me off... I have 2 close friends and they both get completely harrassed all the time with "baby fever" comments. One of them loves children (and works with special needs kids) but doesn't want her own kids ever, so its annoying for obvious reasons. The other friend of mine has been trying to have a kid for 5 years with 2 failed IVF attempts.. so its rude and annoying for people to make those comments assuming getting pregnant is easy for everyone. It really hurts her and is devastating when people talk about it.
    Its never safe to ASSume!

  23. wow!! what is wrong with some people? im pretty sure i would have punched someone if i just met them and they insisted on saying stuff like that!!

  24. A conniving baby fever trapper!??? Lord. Have. Mercy. Jealousy is a disease and when you come down with the green ass, it's hard to get rid of...or so I've heard :) On a more serious note, that little girl LOOOVES YOU! She is squeezing the life out of you in that one picture! Toooo stinking cute. xoxo you are so funny. Chin up.

  25. "I actually get vodka fever every Friday, which a pregnancy would interfere with"...best line of this post. Word. up.

  26. Wow that guy sounds like a TOTAL JACKASS. Sorry you had to put up with that, people can be so inconsiderate and socially clueless. And I think I'm coming down with vodka fever right now. Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Ok she is adorable who wouldn't love her. Girls who "trap" guys are dumb asses!!! You my friend are no dumbass!!!! The best part about friends with babies is ou can play with them, love on them, then send em home and have a drink ir six! You should have smacked the hell out of him.

    ReplyDelete
  28. wow. WHAT a douche. Maybe he is like that because his parents wish he would've landed on the wall? Unfortunate bastard. Can you IMAGINE the lucky girl who will end up with him one day? Ugh! Bless her heart.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Awwwww you are sweet and you will be such a great mama! I was never into anyones babies before I had my own! That guy is a douche. Your man knows whats up!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Unfortuntely there is no cure for stupidity. Some people are a waste of air. Okay not nice but true! Totally nothing wrong with you loving kids. I have a friend who adores kids but definitely isnt ready for one of her own. Nothing in this world wrong with that! Oh and your right, anyone who couldnt love that sweet little smile is crazy! She's just precious. BTW, I want it to be pool weather here already. Its in the 60s, boo!!!

  31. She is TOO cute.
    & that guy is a jackass who should be kicked in the balls.

    ReplyDelete
  32. She is so precious and I completely agree...what a jackass.

  33. What an ass!!

    She's so stinkin cute!! Love the smushy face pic of her...

    ReplyDelete
  34. Was this guy DRUNK?! I just...I can't even. I guess you're more mature than I am because had I been in your shoes I would have had a word (or two, or ten) with him...and none of them would have been fit for the ears of children, I assure you.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I can't stand people like that. Ugh. Wait until you get married girl, you'll hear it more :( I mean, I have only been married for almost 11 months..and people have been asking, when we are having kids. Um... we just got married. I hate when people ask that. There's quite a few people that I graduated high school with that have two and three kids. I'm 26 (well in 2 days) too and I don't have baby fever. It makes me wonder if I ever will haha, because so many people have it. I just want to enjoy the time I have with my husband and dogs.
