Anna, Josh, & the Ever Multiplying M Kids, Part 11: His Cheating Heart

[KelseyAnn]

This thread is bringing back some gross memories for me. About two years ago I had a roommate who would initiate sex with her boyfriend as soon as he stepped through the front door. Worse yet, she had the disgusting habit of snorting like a pig the entire time they were doing the deed. 

[fluffernutter]

My husband likes to be a wise-ass and often pranks people. When we moved in 2003, he labeled a box of books "whips, chains, floggers, paddles, etc..." knowing full well our entire family would be helping us unpack the truck. So who gets that box off the truck? My poor dad. He said something to the effect of "I'll just put this in your room."

I had a roommate in the dorms who would lock us out for HOURS with her boyfriend while they had sweet fellowship.  It was annoying, but it finally hit the breaking point when our other roommate was out of town for the weekend, and I came back from my double header fastpitch game to find the door locked.  I had left at 7 AM that morning, and it was now 4 in the afternoon.  They had been alone ALL. DAY.  and I had been out in the Southern California sun, sweaty, dirty, and exhausted...I JUST wanted to take a shower and eat dinner.  That's it.    I was so tired, I ended up just curling up on the disgusting hallway floor.  At least it was cool.  

After that weekend, my third roommate and I took the door chain off the door so that she could no longer lock us out.  We made it clear to her that we would be reasonable and considerate, but if she insisted on being unreasonable and inconsiderate with her scheduling, we would simply be walking in.  And the next time her bf was over, I came right on in after my games. 

We never had a problem again.

Oh good we are still talking about this. So when I was in 8th or 9th grade, a few of us girls were over at our friends house. We found a video. Her brother ( about a year older than us and not unattractive) had apparently recorded himself, rather creepily, masturbating. We of course insisted on continuing to watch after realizing what it was. To this day i still feel bad for my friend. She was beyond mortified.

I have always lived in a row house...that is many homes all connected together. And, well, you hear...things...through the walls. We had neighbors that would get really loud with open windows, it was so loud, people on the street would stop and look at the house trying to figure out if the girl was being murdered or not LOL most recent neighbor's girlfriend barked like a dog so loud I had to take my granddaughter outside rather than try to explain!

@Daisy0322 AHHHHHHHHHHH at least I have never seen my father naked. I'm so sorry.

I did once visit the home of an extremely liberal friend. Nice family, seriously lovely people, raising their kid hands-on, loads of activities as a family, Steiner Waldorf schooling etc. Etsy hasd just started and she was a leather worker specialising in skirts.

As it goes, their three year old met me at the door and said "you haven't been in my house. Let me show you." (That kid was so adorable). Downstairs was grand until we got to the living room - "these are my books down here, shared ones are in the middle and mummy and daddy's sex books are up high. I can't read those until I'm tall enough to reach". ...okay, says I (cos what the heck else could you say). Next stop, upstairs bathroom. All the usual feature - everybody's towels in all different colours, his rubber duck called Bert, like out of Mary Poppins, then dressing gowns and " up top on the hanger, that's mummy and daddy's smacking stick for when they play. Mummy says the steam is good for it".

To this day a lovely family and he's turned into a charming, well-adjusted, smart young man.

Back in Fuji film days, my sister went into my folks'  room one morning for help working out if the film was ready to roll back, and tripped on the rug. Evidently the thing went off as we got back a shot... suffice it to say we were surprised it didn't feature a sticker. Dad said since it featured him facing straight on, sat in a comfy chair, sipping his tea from a China cup, they likely decided it wasn't coerced.

Many years ago I lived on the 2nd floor of a 3-story apartment building. A couple moved in downstairs and everyone in the building could hear them. We all complained to the property manager, who refused to do anything. So one early morning when they had woken me up for the umpteenth time, I yelled as loud as I could, "He's the only one you need to convince, Honey."

 

We didn't hear them after that. [emoji23]

What I have always wondered is, how do they manage to keep their eyes that wide all the time. Always looking like their eyes are about to pop out of their head.  And to go around smiling like that all the time. Trying to maintain those facial expressions has to be exhausting after a while. Life without resting bitch face......must be rough.

So I have a number of chronic illnesses that make me hella exhausted a lot of the time. At one point, I realized that my eyes were really tired looking and half open all the time. In an attempt to seem more alert at work I was very mindful of keeping my eyes wide open...until I realized I looked like a crazy person. Maybe they're all furiously over compensating? As for me, I just went back to looking like I'll pass out any second.

We have no lock on our bedroom door  . Our son walked in when he was about 12, then ran out laughing and yellling that he knew what we were doing.  Totally killed the mood!  I dressed, went to his room and explained that he was lucky to have parents who loved each other, that he was well and truly old enough to respect what a closed bedroom door means, and in future, if it's closed, just wait.  

He's 17 now, and I learned the hard way that if his bedroom door is closed, not to enter until my knock has been answered.  There are some things a mother does not need to see!

@Karma I laughed so hard when I read that second paragraph then saw your username 

[Karma]

Lol yes, @Daisy0322 , that one certainly came back to bite me!

If I were her I would also be afraid of Jim Bob. I don't doubt for a second he would buy Josh the most vicious divorce lawyer he could afford and that would be a lot more than Anna could pony up. 

Buy why would he do that? Anna could also get a lawyer who wants the publicity. But who are we kidding, the only way she is leaving Jdouche is in a pine box.

A bit behind on the thread, but from 10.50 is the family at Newark airport. JB and Mechelle hadn't noticed he was gone. When JB gets back Jackson is with Jana, Mechelle on the phone, JB doesn't bother to hug or offer words of comfort.

[fluffernutter]

Michelle said "that feeling of terror" when your child lost. Yeah she looks terrified chatting it up on the phone. 

 

[HarryPotterFan]

What feeling of terror, MEchelle?? You didn't even know he was missing!!!

The terror of realizing a child might be telling someone what goes on behind closed doors.

I lost track of my oldest once at a small zoo. We went there frequently when my she was little because it was close to our house and something to do. So my first outing with two kids after my second was born, and I was busy fussing with the newborn and my 3 year old wandered. I lost my SHIT. Like a sobbing freaking out hot mess. Found her in just a few seconds really, but oh my. Haunts me still. 

[ThunderRolls]

When exactly did Michelle start to speak so softly? She was soft spoken in the video clip but still sounded like a normal human (mostly). The first time her tone really struck me as unusual was during her awful 911 call after Spurgeon's birth. It's become over the top, and I'm curious if anyone has any insight into what that could be?

[Flossie]

I lost a kid once.  Had just moved into a house in a lightly wooded area where the houses were far apart and lots of empty space for a kid to disappear in.  It was a hot day, I had the doors open to catch the breeze and started washing dishes while my oldest was watching Mr. Rogers Neighborhood on TV in the next room. 

Then she was gone.  I called around for her.  I didn't have a phone.  The nearest neighbor had one, but she was gone.  I went looking for #1, calling her name.  I was crying hysterically, walking through the woods, wondering what happened to my little girl.  Is she scared?  Is she hurt?  Did someone with bad intentions find her?  I was five months pregnant and wondered how I'd ever explain to this child how I'd managed to lose my first kid.  Would my second child ever feel safe with me after that?  Would that baby be taken by the State?  I was obviously unfit to care for a child.  Maybe it would be better to see if a family member would take the child in.  Or give the child up for adoption altogether.

I went back to the neighbor who had a phone, and she'd returned home so I called the police.  I was told to go home and wait for an officer.  Just as the cop pulled up, a pile of laundry on the couch started to move and my daughter crawled out wanting lunch.  Who would have thought that a kid would crawl under a pile of laundry to take a nap on a hot day?

[allthegoodnamesrgone]

Seriously why was Jackson allowed to go to the restroom by himself? He looked to be only around 4, and then no one noticed he was missing until the camera man heard it being paged. And then he runs to Jana, not mom for comfort, dad doesn't' seem overly fussed, and I'm sure had cameras not been there he probably would have gotten a spanking for being disobedient. 

 

As for Michelle and her baby voice, I think she's completely jumped the shark, she's either heavily medicated or has retreated into herself so completely she's not able to cope with reality that she's just blocked it out.  You can see the progression as she checks out bit by bit after Jackson (and I suspect this started probably from Joy on down hence the sister moms), Hannie, Jenni, Jordyn & Josie, losing Jubilee and her fertility was her end, she's completely checked out from everyone around her, Boob paraders her around like the prefect wife, and Jana and JD stay behind to keep home and kids going,  She may also be heavenly medicated and out of touch with everyone around her.  It is almost as if she has PTSD, the trauma done to her body from so many babies, and such a abusive repressive lifestyle and she just snapped somewhere and instead of getting help or getting out she shut something off in her mind and disconnected to protect herself and keep moving. 

[Chewing Gum]

Yeah I completely agree @allthegoodnamesrgone. And being joyfully available at all times must take a toll after 20+years. After all these years of being someone else's belonging, I think she's really lost touch with herself. No snark intended. 

I also believe she went further down the drain after Jubilee's loss.

You know, I think about this a lot. Why on EARTH is joy and contentment the only emotions permitted? Hell, even GOD gets mad in the old testament! And Jesus certainly didn't pull any punches in the new testament! So why do they have to be all happy face all the time? It doesn't make sense!!

But nothing they do make sense. Nothing! Pretty much every time I read about them I just go further in to denial. So now I'm just a 100% sure they don't actually exist and you guys are all in on the huge (humongous) conspiracy to make me believe in them. Havn't figuered out why you're doing it yet, but I'm on to you! 

[Carm_88]

Ugh that clip.  Just as heartbreaking as I remember it to be.
