Thank you atomic. I'll keep praying.

WOW. I am EXACTLY what you described boy moms as being :/ I actually really do have true OCD and hypochondria and feel the need to control everything b/c I am always worried some disaster is going to happen, I have horrible anxiety all the time. :( My mom (who has GGB) doesn't let anything get to her, she seriously doesn't worry about ANYTHING!!
How the heck do I change this? Go on meds maybe lol?

Any ladies with access to the Film4 channel (I am in the UK so I guess its a UK channel?) - Ferris Buellers Day off is on tonight at 11.30pm. I am taping it as I have never seen it and I am curious after reading this fantastic essay!!! Essential homework :) thought I would share in case anyone else hasn't seen it and they have the channel.
Can the martha in me please go on holiday for a while, thanks :)

I honestly feel doomed in my sway now. I am total type A, a worry wart, stressball, control freak. ugh.
-
Trust me girls, if I can get a girl, anyone can.
I know I need the follow up of what to do about all this and just generally left everyone in a state of perpetual alarm o.O
-
LOL! Yes I am in a state of alarm! HELP! No I'm Kidding...kind of :p
Seriously though I have been controlling as long as I can remember and not sure how I could ever let it go. I have always wanted to be the laid back go with the flow kind of gal but it is so hard. outside of the home when I am with friends in a relaxed atmosphere I feel I do pretty good, but at home where my input matters...that is a whole other story, oh my. I wear the pants in the family, I am man of the house, I would like to blame my DH for this. ha

Well I watched the film and yes, I am definitely more like Jeannie than Sloane!! What can you do really, I really wish I was more relaxed and go with the flow but for some reason i will often find something to moan about. WHY I don't know. It would annoy me if my brother was faking like that but I would have a go at him and then get over it. I wouldn't stew over it forever and ever but at the same time I would still be annoyed even if for a little while. I have to say though I accept myself for what I am because I know I have tried to be more relaxed for years, because DH is more relaxed and go with the flow and it annoys him sometimes when I am not. So it hasn't been just for swaying purposes. I have changed a little but I still have my (many) moments. The thing with me, I just need to have a moan or cry or whatever and then I get over it and move on. If i try to suppress anything it just ends up worse. So I just have to accept it and move on. I am not trying to make anyone else change so why do I need to. If this can't make me more relaxed and a better person (the way I see it) then nothing will and I really have tried trust me.
Like others, I do feel a little doomed in the sway because of this but at the same time, I have accepted that this is the way it is. I have spent time overthinking it and for now have made peace with it. Thats not to say I won't overthink it again mind :)

Lol! Same as me, my husband is a Mary and I am defo Martha!! My one son we clash he's a Martha my new baby boy is a Mary!! and defo know a few Mary and Martha mums makes so much sense, atomic can you change my name above to Mary so I can take on her energy lol! X
-
Right my homework! here comes the Martha side of me again!! Lol! To watch ferris buellers day off haven't seen it for many years as a kid i watched it but can't remember it, Atomic can I ask you or any other of the ladies on here can you suggest some really girlie films to watch for us to get into our chilled out girlie side lol! Thanks in advance :think::pray::wink:

I am more definitely a Martha/ Jeannie than a Mary/ Sloane, so there's hope for all boy mums wanting a girl there! I think my DD was a result of diet not this.
