yup..i live in yaletown. ha..so I'm close to all the lounges and stuff..but never really go to any of those because my husband doesn't drink or club..-_-. I think the last time I clubbed was...umm..2 years ago valentines. Then I got married that summer and got preggers...then had my baby last year. Yeah..when my baby was about 7 months I went on a cruise but the club on the boat was full of...40 years old..@_@. So i gave up clubbing.
As for going out..I go out pretty much each day..but that's because my mom takes care of my baby for me. I go out mostly for shopping and food only...not really for fun. Well, the last time i went out for "fun" was to the playgym with my son..haha..other than that, we do go to movies and stuff like that..but no more lounging or clubbing after the kid. If you plan on having a kid in 2-3 years...you better enjoy your fun NOW..unless you've got a babysitter you can trust to take care of your kid. Having a kid is a BIG COMMITMENT and for the first year after your baby, you'll probably be stuck with your baby for about 99% of the time...not that you'll want to leave him/her alone either. Then maybe after the kid turns one, you'll feel a bit better, you'll trust your baby with someone else and you'll lost some weight so you're willing to go out again. After having a baby, a lot of women lose their confidence in their bodies for the first couple of years...of course, it's all fine in the eyes of a non-asian guys..but we chinese women tend to judge by asian standards of skinny=pretty...so...unless you lose all the baby weight right away, i don't think you'd expect yourself to go out and have "fun" for at least the first year...
there's so many fit mamas in yaletown that I feel so fat compared to them...but then again, all they do all day is drop their kids in $1000 daycares and work out and do yoga all day....and oh yeah, pushing their $1500 strollers around..@_@
i still haven't lost the baby weight so..i'm not going "out" yet..in fact i've been hiding from all my friends for the past year..haha..cause I'm about 1.5x the weight I was before..@_@ |
