Since my youngest is 11 I totally get where you are coming from. Talking about baby spit up and dirty diapers isn't as interesting to me anymore.

Cost prevented me from buying one when I built the house, but it was plumbed for a gas range already, so I could have. My brother ADORES his. If you can possibly afford it, SC, put in a gas line. You're going to be cooking on it a long time and if you ever sell, buyers want it.Jenny Hart Borenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587246633354905840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-41098430790743684802014-05-05T11:11:39.474-04:002014-05-05T11:11:39.474-04:00Oh, you should definitely audition next year - the...Oh, you should definitely audition next year - there are only 2 people listening, so it is good practice.

For me, it wasn't my sons, but one of the soon to be daughter-in-laws. I guess the fact that she had only one brother numbed her to the open toilet. :-)<br /><br />My daughter, on the other hand, has managed to train her husband to put it down, so I find some comfort in knowing she will work equally hard at this with her own sons someday.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08556301919720689325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-38643815509622105862014-05-05T07:20:12.904-04:002014-05-05T07:20:12.904-04:00Well, they did have a lot of people auditioning. ...Well, they did have a lot of people auditioning. And I think they try to make the stories have a sort of central theme, so I can see how my talking about how my grown son left the toilet seat up while visiting may not have fit in well anywhere.Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-50132548922691671862014-05-05T00:09:05.327-04:002014-05-05T00:09:05.327-04:00It's positively criminal that you didn't m...It's positively criminal that you didn't make it into the show.

I doubt anybody makes such a thing. I sometimes dream of having a gas stove, but the cost of installing a gas line ends that dream quickly.<br /><br />I have children older than 11 and I blog. But I would also find it difficult to stand up in front of hundreds of people and talk. Maybe the show should be titled "Listen to Your Extrovert Mother".Common Household Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715969218648104267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-25241378561518099722014-05-04T20:16:31.213-04:002014-05-04T20:16:31.213-04:00Good point!Good point!Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-10377952425615673192014-05-04T19:29:49.170-04:002014-05-04T19:29:49.170-04:00I do love my gas stove.
