Good Morning and Happy Friday!!!

Yes, Hollywood has definitely affected the way we view our relationships! I have had to check myself on more than one occasion when I found myself wondering why I don’t have the kind of mind-blowing, passionate love affairs that are typical manufactured for ratings Hollywood bull:) lol

Happy Friday!

Yes,I think the chemistry has to be there for it to have a chance. No chemistry means that something isn’t right and its a bad combination.

Yes, we do set ourselves up trying to live these fairytale romances that are in the movies and books. Real life love is even better but its not all-consuming like that.

Good Friday Morning Crew I have dated someone where the chemistry wasn’t there initially but the convo was so good and his personality was magnetic. Over time the energy between us grew and the intimacy was the best I’ve yet to experience.

Absolutely movies parlay dating extremes, however, to their credit they also help keep the “hope alive” that love will prevail.

Morning, all.

“Do you think the lack of spark means they are not the one for you?”

No, it doesn’t. As you pointed out, WD, chemistry and passion can’t sustain a relationship forever so, with that in mind, it would behove us to not write off someone simply because there was no immediate evidence of fireworks going off or comets flashing across the sky. We need to be more considerate of the fact that the one who is “right” for us isn’t always the one we want, but may very well be the one we need.

Is the “ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love” really attainable?

Nope..that is not love that is addiction…and I dont want addiction. True love is looking at the person you are with and seeing them as they are..not what you want them to be for you..or what you want to be for them..just seeing them as is…no strings attached..and loving them as is.

Happy Friday! I’m so excited for the weekend. I’m actually in town. LOL

Chemistry…I dunno. I think it does need to be there. There are plenty of good guys out here in the A. If that’s all I needed I wouldn’t be single. So I think I couldn’t date someone that I had no chemistry with. I met a guy who owned a plane a few weeks back. After the 2nd date, I still had no desire to kiss him or let him touch me. Great guy, though. Continuing to date him would not have been fair to me or him.

I do think that “passionate” love is out there definitely. I do need substance with passion though. I watch couples like NBA player Doug Christie and his wife Jackie. Though I admire their bond, they are real extra with it. Same with the couple Simon and Alex on Real Housewives.

Good Morning!

I’m with Sunshine on this. I, too, have had to check myself on occasion.

I don’t read romance novels or any of that kind of stuff, but I do watch some television and movies. And I have keep myself in line when it comes to expectations. I have on occasion also had to fight the desire to make comparisons between my situation and those that I see (both the fictional ones and the “reality”-based ones). I’ve gotten much better about this, but I can’t say that it will never happen again.

For me the key is (1) reminding myself of all of the great qualities I have in my man and my relationship and (2) remembering that things simply are not always as they appear.

On topic: As it relates to the persona of Carrie Bradshaw. I think the character represents women on a lot of different levels. She was on the fence about committment. She had Aidan, the sweet, nice, sexy caring guy and mucked him up but kept leaving herself open for BIG; unavailable, hardly-interested, I’ll-call-when-I-need-you type. I think it goes to the point of we always want what we can’t have….the illusion of perfect

Chemistry: a strong mutual attraction, attachment, or sympathy

Phenylethylamine, dopamine, and norepinephrine, if it is forever absent there is no chemistry.

Love…is inconvenient. But not in so much of a negative sense. To continue to love…no, scratch that…to have unconditional love for is a choice. And that choice sometimes is regardless of him having just said or did something that makes me want to string him up and de-ball him. And him the same for me.

It is a pleasant inconvenience to put off doing something for one self to aid and abet in the others dilemma. If I only did what was convenient for me, I would have less time for him. But like I said, this is not to be taken in a negative sense.

If you really want to know what gratifying inconvenient love is…have a child.

But yeah, as far as the movies are concerned…most are so far from reality it is mind numbing.

Once again, movies become real life for chicks. Do you ever wonder why men don’t seem to take you seriously? It’s because of stuff like that.

It’s called chemistry for a reason: it’s chemical — I’m not going into the details another time, yall apparently won’t get it anyway. It lasts for 2-5 years, if it’s there. If it’s not there, you can’t manufacture it. After the effects fade, you’re left with whatever else you have with that person.

It’s like that for everyone. If you don’t think it applies to you, you’re kidding yourself, or maybe you read it in Cosmo.

Bit-O-Honey - Very true. This is why I loved yet hated Hitch! LOL

Rell - Doug Christie at the end of the day loves his wife above everything else. How many wives can say that. Even still, you hope nothing happens to either of them, cuz the other might be on suicide watch.

I love Love Jones, but the characters were stupid. Just shows how your own issues can trip you up from what’s really important. So that is what made the movie so good. LOL

If you are dating someone and the chemistry just isn’t there, do you put in some effort to see if it can grow? Do you think the lack of spark means they are not the one for you?

Um, i normally like to build some sort of rapport with a dude before I go all willy nilly in lust over him. So if lots a time passes by w/o a hint of spark then i’ll just consider us at least friends or good associates. To me it’s far more disappointing to fool yourself into being overly chematic (yeah i made it up) over some dude, end up getting a lil taste then realizing after the smoke clears that you can’t stand this person. At that point, it’s too late to regret it, the Do has been Done!

Chemistry like love is fleeting. If you’re with a person for blow-your-mind sex, then yes, you’re probably looking for chemistry from jump and may be turned off my need feeling it immediately, but if you’re looking to grow and have a life with someone; I’m talking that no-matter-what kind of stuff, you’ll be more inclined to seek out compatibility in the forms of committment, trust, and respect.

was that the longest sentence ever of what? Run-on..ha!

This in no way discredits the need for attraction. All romantic relationships must have some level of attraction that can be sustained and/or enhanced over the course of the courtship/marriage.

Good morning blogsville.

Scene set-up: Two people looking at each with that love mist in the air. I’ve had that kind of love. It came filled with trips all over europe to castles and drinking hot wine in the snow. It was an experience to connect on so many levels with someone. Think lightning striking. And check this out, because I had to go to the field for 30 days at a time I had the opportunity to miss her which made it all the more stronger.

With that being said my last gf I met at piedmont park. We literally walked up to each other and started talking and didn’t stop for 2 hours. While it wasn’t the lightning bolt I appreciate this edition much more because our feelings grew stronger over time but were based on reality. I have alot of respect for her, not that she’s perfect, and had I been looking for a wife this relationship could have made it.

The sad part about version A is one day you have to wake up and usually find you’re mate isn’t exactly what you thought they were. Give me slow and grow over movieland love fog. MY .02 cents (On second thought give me my .02 cent back, I need that for gas.)

Movie love scenes – the next biggest joke. Watching television makes it seems so hassle free done with elegance and ease. But in reality it can be awkward, clumsy, and muscle tone aching at times. Don’t get me wrong all the work is worth the payoff, but I am just saying. Sex in hammock…awkward. In limo…awkward. In the pool…clumsy. In the shower…very arty. In the rain…cold and shivering. In an elevator…illegal. Sex is sweaty, achy, fumbling pleasure. But it is all good.

IamLegend I also love Love Jones and Jason’s Lyric. I liked the whole vibe of Love Jones (plus I love Larenz Tate) but I really liked the moment in Jason’s Lyric when he is telling Jada how he just wants to see here again. Something along the lines of ‘if you are in church, I wanna be on the back pew” etc. I thought that was the sweetest, he was just explaining how he really wanted to be in her presence.

As far as movie scenes go, there’s one that has stuck with me since the very first time I saw it. It’s from the film A Beautiful Mind, a true story starring Russell Crowe, as the brillant, but asocial mathematician John Nash, and Jennifer Connelly as his wife, Alicia.

The particular scene was the one where Alicia was strongly contemplating moving out of the house after several episodes brought on by John’s paranoid schizophrenia. The doctor treating Nash was at the house, ready to drive Alicia away. All she had to do was get in the car. Nash is sitting despondently on a bed in an upstairs room when, after a few minutes, you hear two car doors slam shut. You assume to yourself, “Oh, well, she’s gone. She left him.”, when you see Alicia slowly walkng back up the stairs.

She approaches John and proceeds to kneel down in front of him saying, “You want to know what ‘real’ is? This…(placing her hand on his heart and his hand on her face)…This is real.

See? My point is that that’s the kind of love that lasts long after the fireworks have died down. The guy was a paranoid schizophrenic and yet she loved him enough to stay with him - all the way to his winning the Nobel Prize for mathematics. That’s real love right there.

I wonder how many of us would have done that?

I make a woman a deal: She doesn’t think our relationship is some Hollywood movie or Soap Opera in terms of unrealistic passion and romance, and I don’t think our relationship is as sexual as a XXX movie. Then, if she expects one - I will expect the other.

Sustained companionship/friendship sprinkled with periods of romance is a reasonable expectation. If you think you be in insufferable lust and romance (or for a guy, think you’ll be having sex a few years down the road), odds are you are mistaken.

Happy Friday Blog Buddies! - Yeah, I’ve been missing lately, but work has been crazy and to top it all off, I had some kind of allergic reaction to something I ate that gave me a weird red rash on my arms! It’s just about gone, thank God!

Movies are fun to watch, but nothing to model a real-life relationship on! Hollywood gets it right when it comes to ENTERTAINING, but INFORMING, very rarely! By the way, Tom, I LOVE that scene in Moonstruck!

I think you do need chemistry, but above all, I really have to LIKE the person! I’ve been in situations where we’ve had chemistry and I might have even loved the person, but realized I did not LIKE the person! Respect and trust have to be there to sustain over time. Passion kinda comes & goes but hopefully should not completely fizzle.

AmRed, Slim, 6’1 - I lurked in here when you guys were talking about Real Housewives NYC! Okay, you know I saw that reunion! I totally respect Bethany and Jill (and even the host) for calling Alex & Simon out on their elitist, wannabee socialite selves! Why didn’t they just admit it?!!! Truthfully though, I think now that their lying weird butts made a fool of themselves on national tv, they may have shot themselves in the foot in their attempts to reach the Social Upper Echalon, LOL!!! And Alex posing nude, her pale, pastey, skinny butt, - I mean I’m not a lesbo, but who but Simon would really want to see that mess?!!! And they seemed to think it was cute to let that little blond Tasmanian devil poke that $30 hamburger to smithereens! The kid doesn’t know any better, but Bethany & her boyfriend should have cussed Alex & Simon out for not putting that kid in check!! Ramona is on crack, I’m convinced! I like the countess LuAnn, think she’s very classy, but I think ole’ count may be a globe-trotting playboy, just got that feeling. He does not seem to be around much!

If you can base your romance off movies you might as well base it off of romance novels as well.. Quietly thats what a lot of women do to.. I seem to always stumble across one over females houses that swear they never heard of them.. What i’m saying is fantasy is just that and it has nothing to do with reality. Cause honestly life is way starnger than fiction.

Chemistry and passion are fantastic, but it could never sustain a relationship over time. - That is your opinion, and mines as well. There has to be at least one couple out there who has lasted beyond this myth. So what we are saying is if I met 2CPTG and our chemistry and passion blew the roof off this mutha, we have no chance in h*ll?

Morning All,

Chemistry with substance. Chemistry lights the fire but substance keeps it going. Kinda like diff between Gas Grill and Charcoal (Corny I know). One is convenient and lights easy and can potentially have high heat. The other takes more work and is slow and steady.

The wifey and me agree to get all Hollywood,Romance novel type love every yr on vacate usually out the country. Pretty cool to forget about erything for a minute and be all over the top. I tell her to take advantage until we return to work, cooking,cleaning,homework, baseball practice etc.

The ridiculous love was a High School Teenage thing. Has anyone actually had one of those after 25?

Truth, “once you’ve been loved you can’t be hoodwinked”, I second that sentiment. Likewise for once you’ve been in love, once you know what it is, it’s difficult to mistake.

Raqi, amen to that. If they’re not your best friend, there’s going to be a problem. Trust required! Fun mandatory! Understanding prerequisite!

kimmie I agree that Alex and Simon might’ve have put the spotlight on them in the wrong way for their Socialite Dreams. I was sitting there wondering if after watching the show, if the other women felt betrayed or even wanted to continue dealing with them anymore. If i were posing a question, that would’ve been mine. As far as the kids go, I might not have brought my kids due to them being the youngest, to the dinner party even though it was for the family. It just didn’t seem that their two devils fit along with the atmosphere…hence you had a Burger Stabbing in the middle of dinner. As far as the Count and Countess go…I wonder how they even ended up together. He looks so much older than Luan and is never there…and their nanny minus well be the mom to the kids. I don’t think Luan owned up to the comment her nanny said about not spendng enough time with the kids. She immediately put it off on her husband not being there. I love whenever Bethenny says to “Get over yourself!…my kind of girl. lol And Ramona dances like shes at a Rave. I wonder how many pills she popped before going out that night. Her own child is often embarrassed by her.

Good Morning Blogville,

I’m happy to see the fellas speaking on this topic.

Legend you took me back with those films…Jason’s lyric, Love Jones, etc…..

Mo, QC, and Slim thanks for the breakfast. Slim I filled my condom up with water…..who wants to play water fight. Demi duck…incoming… lol

Ared I think I might have to backslide to M3 this evening since there will be a reggae dj. I might have to get my dirty whine on tonite. lol

Truth a wink and soft kiss to you..

2CPTG© you’ve summed it up regarding the movies….art is an imitation of life. If what is presented on the scene does not relate to any of your experiences that does not mean it won’t relate to someone else. After all it is only a movie.

Is the “ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love” really attainable?

Yes, this is ridiculous. We’re human beings not blow up dolls. Not even a pet can fill this role.

The whole thing on chemistry is obviously something of relevance. I think when you can relate well with someone it makes the relationship feel more comfortable and exciting at first. Over time you will need more to sustain a growing relationship. I won’t dismiss a person because of the lack of chemistry, but there has to be something about the person that will keep my interest. I’ve learned to see past looks….dated enough gorgeous guys to know better.

WillieD that is why vacations are a must. We need that time to get away from all the “real world” (LOL) and engross ourselves in just one another. Spending those days sleeping in late wrapped in each other embrace. Dancing to the wee hours of the morning. Just thinking about nothing and nobody but each other. That’s a couple’s vacation.

But…however…we must maintain while enduring the hustle and bustle. Corny…let me be. Stealing away in the mid afternoons. Screw doing the laundry but doing each other during the empty spin cycle. Openly blatantly inhaling the aroma from his neck before walking out the door, to keep him in mind. Sleeping on his pillow when he is not there. Helping him apply his latch and zipper while admiring him putting on his slacks. Brushing that invisible wrinkle off the chest of his shirt. I could go on…but let me be corny.

Time will tell, AR, nothing else.

Chemisty is required. If the chemical reaction doesn’t happen, nothing else will follow. But, things such as Cosmo and Sex in the City (i.e. Cosmo for TV, and now the movies) doesn’t have so much to do with that. It’s counter-productive propaganda, intended to appeal to that which chicks most readily respond, ultimately making it much more difficult or impossible to attain that which they desire, if taken seriously in any way.

1) man meets woman 2) man and woman hit it off big 3) relationship blossoms 4) relationship hits hard times 5) man and woman separate/break up 6) man performs goes to extremes to prove love and win woman back.

But then I hear words you said and I promise I would stand for you and be true throughout the bad and the good.

And I know what it means to be committed. So here’s a word for you , but you just sing with it..

Stay Down) We’re almost to the very best part. (Stay Down) You’ll always be the pride of my heart. (Stay Down) We too can past the test (Stay Down) Yeah we got a lot of work. (Stay Down) I know it ain’t been the best but it certainly ain’t been the worst. (Stay Down) The drama will not last forever (stay down) we’ll beat it as long as we’re together.

One day we’ll look back on this , we’ll be like ‘remember this?’ and it’s gonna make us smile ‘cause in the end we stayed down..

I ain’t gonna lie , at times you amaze me. You be talking and I sware that you’re crazy but, I learned a long time ago that pride don’t help, it only hurts. And I just want you to know , I need ya baby (I need you) I’m just like Weezy baby , not Weezy like the rapper baby but the wife of George , and we’re moving on up.

10 years strong and we’re looking like a plan. Im looking like your woman and you’re looking like my man. We looking like real and the haters look fake , Especially when they hear me say.. (Stay Down) We’re almost to the very best part. (Stay Down) You’ll always have a place in my heart. (Stay Down) We too can past the test (Stay Down) Ya know we got a lot of work. (Stay Down) I know it ain’t been the best but it certainly ain’t been the worst. (Stay Down) The drama will not last forever (stay down) we’ll beat it as long as we’re together. One day we’ll look back on this , we’ll be like ‘remember this?’ and it’s gonna make us smile ‘cause in the end we stayed down..

(Understand you are the one in my heart) And I’m holding on so we can’t live apart. (When things stop making sense we’ll figure it out) I walked into this and I don’t wanna walk out no , no.

Everything ain’t gonna be how we like and what is worth keeping if it didn’t take a fight? Your healing is in me (me) Amd my healing is in you (you) So get your mind right , ‘cause here’s what we gonna do

(Stay Down) We’re almost to the very best part. (Stay Down) You’ll always be the pride of my heart. (Stay Down) We too can past the test (Stay Down) Ya know we got a lot of work. (Stay Down) I know it ain’t been the best but it certainly ain’t been the worst. (Stay Down) The drama will not last forever (stay down) we’ll beat it as long as we’re together.

Truth It seems as if there would be so many advantages to being a stay-at-home mom. But i’ve been working since i was 15 and I think i would lose my mind just a little bit at being home everyday. I know that over time you find all kinds of crap to do but when the kids grow up and are less reliant on mom @ home, it would be very hard i would think to get back into the workforce. Still seems to be an attractive idea to not have to come to a 8-5 everyday. Maybe i’ll be able to better answer that question once i get knocked up.

Speaking of movies…I think Knocked Up was a little more close to reality. It showed them initially getting wasted, messing around, getting knocked up, then having to deal with the consequences of their drunken night…sure it’s not your typical love story but the shyt was funny doe.

*Angie8 being a housewife is dangerous thing these days. Look at Deion Sanders’ wife Pilar..girl is a beautiful former model with a degree who stayed home and became a house wife. Granted they had the money to hire nannies and chefs and maids..but he expects her to be all in one for that big azz estate. No way in hell am I giving up my career for that. In her case if he leaves her she will be paid. But that regular chick who gives up her career to be a glorifed maid/baby maker/cook/ draws washer, is putting herself in the hot seat for if he decides that she is not putting in on the finances so she and running sh*t..meaning he feels he can come and go as he pleases, blatant disrespect. That is putting to much control in one person’s hands. Not to mention when these husbands go out and cheat..it’s usually with a woman who has a career…her own thing going. She is not there at his beck and call..the thrill of the chase baby!

Slim I loved that movie.

Bit-o-Honey I think kids that are aournd other kids in that developmental stage does better in life. They do not have that attachment to mommy that is so bad that they fall out crying when she steps away. They are anti-social because all they know is mommy. Granted you can take them to parks for play dates…but that still leaves the leg-grabbing separation anxiety. I think it sets them up for that down fall to be that way in life…always afraid to let go of people and go through serious changes. I learned alot about being able to let go easily as a child…and I think that is why I am not one of those chicks who keeps running back to the same no good man due to separtion anxiety. You hurt me once, I am done with you. Yeah it hurts to let go…but it will hurt worst the longer you hold on to what is NOT meant to be. More people should learn that. Just because you have a baby with someone..does not mean you should try to make something out of a mistake (the relationship)!

Dreams I’m sure you’ll enjoy Staceye’s company but pat search her before going in to eat. She ususally carries one knife in her left boot, 2 in her lower back, 1 in her right front pocket, 1 in her right breastpocket and 1 in her hair. She’s to smart to carry one in her purse. Also, her earrings are poisonous darts. If you get all of those you’re fine just don’t let her order steak, they come with a knife.

Seems most women would opt in for the stay at home gig. Next question for the fellas. If you could afford it would you let the wify stay at home with the kids?

Good Afternoon and Happy Friday ALL!

Inconvenient and consuming? Negative.

Is the “ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love” really attainable?

Of course. However, I would not suggest this kind of love to anyone, not even to the folks I can’t stand…it’s like a person’s asking to be emotionally handicapped if they continue this route at searching for “love”. IMO, the possibilities would be far more detrimental than beneficial for both individuals…. (if that is all they have to work with). That type of existence screams of co-dependency. All of a sudden, you can’t think, can’t eat, can’t sleep, shyt or breathe?….Consumption = losing yourself completely; that type of love can be a dayum BEAST in “sheep’s clothing” like drifting off into the abyss – heyal to the nah.

Although being open with your mate, does require some vulnerability from the both of you, but I refuse to believe that real love requires one or the other to lose sight of who they are and their state of being with or without their SO in their life. But to just fall apart (which is basically where the road leads after being “ridiculously consumed” by another – not an option.

Consistently being yourself, should help to remind you both “what in da heyal” it was about the other that caught and has continued to successfully maintain your undivided attention in your SO – in the perfect world. Why does it seem like there is some need for folks to start making such changes in their relationships after the fact? Do some folk associate consistency with = boring, same-old, same-old? (I quest this simply by observation).

LOL. Well my mom was a stay at home mom and it’s clear that movies and tv don’t do it justice.

My dad didn’t give her an allowance. They had a joint account and it was her money too. You go in knowing that your wife is capable of making money, so it’s not YOURS. It’s the families.

You have the freedom to not be a slave to any office. My mom was into volunteerism, but if she wanted a side hustle, pops was cool with that.

She had time to get everything in order by the time he came home for dinner. So she wasn’t stressed about fighting traffic or her dumb arse boss or any of that mess. Because she was actually able to pay her kids attention we weren’t in her hair all the time acting out. And we had each other and kids in the neighborhood so we didn’t demand for her to play with us all the time.

I’d do it because that’s the way I was raised. And because I had a great childhood. If you are going to have kids, you need to prepare to raise them. And if you can afford to do it you should do it or don’t have kids. Period.

During lunch my friend Design felt it was her responsibility as my friend to let me know that her sister (19) is my son’s new girlfriend. Evidently they spent time together the weekend I went away for my b-day. They both were at my b-day party and were still at the house when we left for the airport. Upon hearing this I just sat there and looked at her. I guess she then realized I am not happy at all about this. She immediately said, I don’t think they stayed at your house.” Better but not really. My son is an idiot.

Now her sister is all up in arms in love here in Atlanta and that idiot of mine is all the way up in Mich. I am not mad at Design. I can’t be. It’s not her fault really. She is just the confidant to her little sister and the messenger to me.

I didn’t want to make her think I am blaming her, but why did she go off and leave her at my house. She brought her she should have taken her when she left. Yeah I am upset. This is too close for comfort.

My girl’s a stay-at-home. No kids are around, but it’s nice that she gets to do what she pleases. Chicks chasing careers — well now, anyone all wrapped up in career chasing — that’s kind of a shame.

One sure can miss out on what really matters, chasing a buck instead, or pursuit of regard within an industry. When it’s all said and done, would you rather be able to say you were optimally happy, or well regarded professionally?

Now I’m back with ya abc. I have a great career. I’ve been to enough Falcons games, Final Fours, bowl games, NBA All-Star games on someone elses dime than I can count.

But at the end of the day, I’d rather be able to say I did all I could for my family. And unless you own your own company, I think it’s selfish to put career over family while fulfilling someone elses american dream (your boss).

Since I date broke dudes (lol), I will probably have to work. But if the opportunity arises where I can have the freedom to make my kid’s science fair, I’d do it. If I were to die young, I’d be most appreciative of the time I’ve spend with those who love me.

Let’s see Razors under the tongue, but not in Manhattan only in the 5 boroughs. Or you can just come to Decatur and get your head bust to the white meat with a beer bottle.

If you stay at home you are an indentured servant. If you go to work everyday, you have your freedom. Que now looking for a rich chick to keep him at home.

Movies to curl up to? Women want romance, men want sex, women want candles, men want stripper poles, but if both of you get a good hard “O” does it really matter how you started.

WiseD Do recall that elevator scene on Fatal Attraction? Me (Glenn Close), Him (Mike Douglas). Do you have a clear picture?…..Yeah?…Now drop it down a several inches.

It was bad. Real bad. The sex was hot as hell but the whole situation was just bad. We were not arrested but were asked to check out first thing in the morning. And are never welcomed there again. It was like 2 o’clock in the morning. Obviously no one needed the elevator. Well except that hotel manager. Luckily I was wearing skirt. But him on knees and panties in his hand. Wasn’t no getting out of that. I guess next time we should take it to the “service” elevator. LOL I try not think about it these days.

For the fellas, the backside of letting wify stay at home is if it doesn’t work out you’re in it for alimony and child support.

not sure if you were referring to my comment abc, but I meant that I don’t want to run a household alone (I said that I would rather run a company for the reasons I stated, which I maintain, I should have added I can manage a company and home with my husband.) I was just addressing the comment that implied women at home aren’t movers and shakers.

I believe that I can find fulfillment in my life’s work, whether it be career, volunteering, social activism or whatever. I think this can be done with a family when you have two partners that allow each other to seek their fulfillment inside and outside the household, sacrifices and compromises guaranteed.

Staceye to your point, my Mom stayed home with my brother and I and didn’t send us off to kindercare until we were 2 years old. By then we were well able to communicate our needs but also those needs that had been neglected. We had tons of other kids in the neighborhood that were our age(everybody in the hood was phuk’n round the same time, go figure) so we grew up with kids and were not attached at the hip. She made a special effort to ensure we were well adjusted socially and we were further along educationally as well.

and when it’s all said it done, I would rather my family unit be filled with happy, healthy people who found a way to make things work, keeping their priorities straight as much as possible. It’s all a personal choice, of course, so I try not to knock the choices couples make trying to juggle it all; especially women who probably already contend with their own guilt/concerns about being the nerve center of the family. I applaud them all, stay at home and career couples.

I don’t consider marriage a hard-line requirement for me to take care of whoever I want to. I don’t consider marriage a ‘price’ she should have to pay for the ‘privilege’. If she wants a job, she can take on anything she wants. If she’d rather volunteer, go to Bible study, keep the house and shop, pursue arts and crafts, or eat bon-bons and watch TV all day, that’s fine, too. ‘Clingy’ doesn’t describe anything about her, but the more she wants of me, the better I like it.

I need to be able to just up and do my own thing. I am too talented for diaper duty!

Staceye - That’s why I respect your position of not wanting to have kids. It’s fine for you to think like that if you don’t have any.

However, if you do, then that attitude is really selfish of mothers and fathers. Essentially you are saying you don’t want to raise your own kids. What makes you think anyone else does?

Each family is different. But at the end of the day, if you kid needs you at home, someone should step up. The VP at my last company was making 6 figures. But his 14 year old was becoming out of control. So he left to be at home. I commend him for that. Control your damn kid so he can stop breaking into my car. LOL

Good Afternoon to all…

abc Although I primarily agree with you, I do believe that things have changed and will be changed forever in this country in regards to economics. I just think that most women work because of need instead of want. Unfortunately, they are the ones that are going to college in higher numbers, and due to this they are in a better position to get a good job. I am willing to bet most would at least like to do something that they want to do.

Off topic a little bit I was in Lenox Square Mall recently and saw both Idris (Stringer Bell) “I can’t remember his last name” and Boris Kodjoe (?). Even though Boris was obviously on his cell phone (maybe talking to Nicole) women were sreaming his name and calling from afar. I actually thought it was quite rude for some reason. I remember seeing them together around Buckhead when they were filming “The Gospel” a few years back and something similar happened. I saw DMX there, too and similar things happened. Why would you do that, ladies? You wouldn’t want it done to you.

Just curious.
It’s kinda on topic because it involves people in movies.

I remember thinking to myself, I don’t want nothing soft clinging to my naked body but 1500 count Egyptian cotton sheet or SpaTex Lush freshly laundered towels. I don’t remember what she was saying at that time cause my mind wondered. LOL

But to each his own. Do you.

@Staceye: Watched that movie lots of times…Jai Kumad (Mya’s love interest) had much skill. He did squat’s with her azz on his lap, while on his knees (and he was so smooth with it)….loved the color’s, the aumbience, that is what I called real luxury!…but I did not like the way it ended.

Now that I think about it, kinda reminds me of how Ving Rhames was hoppin’ around with ya girl in Baby Boy and doing squats at the same time!….now he’s yummy.

unfortunately, because of him I can’t return to my old ways no matter how hard I try…and it kills me at times

I think you are supposed to gain status when you become a parent…not lose.

Maybe kids really are a blessing from God…I could be wrong though

Truth I totally agree. I just thought it was quite tacky.

I’ve worked out at LA Fitness in Atlantic Station and seen Janet Jackson there before. I didn’t see anyone sreaming for or approaching her.

But then again…that big azz bodyguard may have had something to do with that..lol (He tried not to look like her was her bodyguard..he even worked out, too..but he was a bodyguard.

Demi - SexyLeggs is right! Your child is blessed to have you as a poppa and lucky to have someone who will do right by them.

Does anyone believe that we all have a time and date? Since these tragedies happen so often, what do you think that means?

This is why I stay on HIGH ALERT and ask the same of you guys! They’re sitting at a picnic table talking and things get heated. He shoots her then himself. I have friends at Paul Hastings, as well as at Troutman Sanders who has been emailing me since the shooting.

Demi, your last post reminds of a belief I have.

Those who have no one to be accountable to are very dangerous individuals.

Stay alert and be aware of those around you.

Good night everyone!
