Re: Hey, Im a newbie | | Yes, I'm going to be a SAHD. I just would personally like to be the one to pick my kids up from Kindergarten or what have you. I didn't have that as a kid. My parents basically were not around until I started middle school and then they got divorced. So, a lot of my desire to be at home is attributed to that. Besides that, I'm completely OCD when it comes to cleaning and the organization of my home. I load my dishwasher a particular way. I fold my towels a specific way. The DVDs are organized alphabetically. I know I have a problem, but I can't help it.
I'm biracial and I've found that my mom's (African American) family is REALLY superstitious. I mentioned to my aunt that I was going to buy a certain crib and she was like, "NO, that's bad luck boy!." She literally screamed it at me.
So, am I supposed to wait until Feb/March before I buy the crib or like is it okay to buy furniture now? See, I'm still thinking in the singular! My desire to plan everything to the T is telling me that I need to start now. It's sort of like Father of the Bride II, when they had Franc design a nursery. The ideas are just bouncing around in my head. |
