Reason #148 – I call my son “Princess Pants”
Reason #148 – I call my son “Princess Pants”
Mar 23Forget about watching RuPaul’s Drag race – I am actually dressing my son in drag.
And then mocking him for it.
There is a special place in hell for people like me.
We moved to California a mere 2 weeks ago, with no car, no nanny, no daycare. I sometimes feel just like that guy who gets airdropped in the middle of the Amazon jungle with a rusted Swiss Army knife and a handicam.
He’s kinda hot, what’s his name again?
Only without the handicam. And the Swiss Army knife.
In the middle of getting my bearings in a new country/city, furnishing and learning to run a house again, dealing with C 24/7 (and goodness, he takes the 24 to heart!) and finding my feet in the whole “being a wife” business, I may or may not have dropped a few balls.
Like the other day, when I proudly made my way to Walgreens to get Goodnight Pull-ups for C, and came home with this:
PINK bloody pull-ups with stupid Princess Aurora – of Sleeping Beauty fame – on the crotch.
Pink princess diapers.
What the heck, C’s too young to know the difference and I already bought them, so we might as well use them up.
But if I can have a little fun by calling him “Princess Pants”… well, these days I am not above it.
Like I said, there is a special place in hell for people like me.
I hope RuPaul will also be there.
It will be FUN.
PS: off to Costa Rica for a week, see you soon!
PPS: how do you like our awesome new armchair?
Who is princess Aurora anyway? I never get why there is a gender difference it all gets the smutz end of the deal anyhow, LOL. I have three boys and I used everything that was given no matter the gender. Especially when they were babies.

She’s the blonde chick in Sleeping Beauty, if memory serves me right. And I totally agree – the way my son destroys clothes, I’ll put ANYTHING on him as long as it’s free/cheap!

Whoa! You said in Third Tribe that you were having issues and I see that you do for sure! ;)
I’m also delighted to find that you’re hilarious and have no problem mocking yourself. Dunno why, but I love that kinda stuff.
Off to read more, and thanks.

this is awesome.
Don’t worry I’m pretty certain my son will be using girly stuff until he’s old enough to realize it.
I’m too lazy to go out and buy boy stuff.

Not lazy, environmentally friendly! Also, it’s time to redefine gender roles! …or so I like to think, heh.

Been there done that lol My S and C are only 11 months apart and there became a point that I just didnt care anymore… 2 kids in diapers/pullups, one boy, one girl… as long as it covered their stuff and kept me from having to clean my carpets it ended up on their butts

Bear Grylls. Man vs. Wild. Love watching him, I mean the show….
The Bear has Ariel, the little mermaid and Dora swimmers. He’s lucky we hide them under swim shorts. Do you find the pull up goodnights work well overnight? I have used daytime ones because I am trying to toilet train the Bear….(could someone do it for me?)

I’m not even thinking about toilet training! And yeah, they keep him pretty dry through the night. Tho maybe he’s just being a gentleman and refusing to pee on Princess Aurora?

Well they were Princesses.
And they were on pants.

¿Y esos pañales no le presionarán las joyas? Digo yo, si son para mujeres deben tener poco espacio adelante.
