My ds is almost 18 (8mo that's almost to me)we've slowly been transitioning her to the expectations of an adult, allowing her out till curfew, requests to travel to a big city on her own for a concert were met with okay, how do you play to get there, pay for it and where will you stay. I think that shocked her but really this is all leading up to me, mommy cutting the cord and in a big way.

Has anybody had work done on themselves? Everything from botox to full body lift I'm curious about the experience and cost. Was it worth it, how long was recovery, do you regret it? I've thought about my nose, the extra tummy skin and my boobs especially after losing 20lbs. I had great boobs but I think 15 of the 20 was boob the rest was my face and thighs. I hate my extra tummy skin from having kids and the stretch marks. Otherwise I think I look great, trim, fit maybe a little tinier than I could be (the weight loss was unexpected, unexplained and is most likely stress my doc says).

I've noticed on the weeks when SO has his kids, mine are stressed, easily angered, and pretty unpleasant. There is a 7 year difference between his kids and my youngest and 10 year difference with my oldest (his kids are 13 months apart so easier to just lump them as the same age for this).

It's my birthday, MY BIRTHDAY, not skid day, not what do skids want for dinners day, heck not even what my kids want to eat day, mine!
