Don't bother inviting us

I think we've officially become boring.

Before Seb and I could have kids we lamented that we would never be boring "like people with kids." I remember once we had this apéro with a group of collegues of Seb's. It was insufferable! Three couples all with their kids in tow. Don't get me wrong we didn't invite the kids. We we're ambushed. The parents never mentioned kids coming and who knew to ask. Two of the kids were sick, all runny nosed and in their pyjamas. One little girl chased my cat, stole my fridge magnets and stuck her fingers in the toilet "splash-splash" Then afterwards the little crumb snatcher returned to help herself to MORE of the petit-fours I had so painstakingly decongelated and well, paid for (those little things are expensive!) And all the adults talked about were illnesses, baby milestones, age appropriate toys, strollers and POOP.

After we'd shut the door Seb and I locked eyes . "Oh my God! We will NEVER be that dull if we have kids. We will be aware of it if we are. We will never drag our kids to people's homes like that. We will never talk about them like they are all there is!"

Anyway, I haven't asked anyone close to me but I think we may be getting like those dull, invitees we had a few years back. Going out has become such a chore that we just stay in. We never get invited anywhere anymore (waaaaah) If we do get invited somewhere believe me we're not even going to ask if we have to leave the baby at home because they'll probably say "yes" and then I won't get to go.

But, I'm stopping short of the poop discussions. I mean if I start talking poop you can just file me away sister. If there's anything I'm trying to escape from it's that.
