I know, I know, I know.... I haven't posted in awhile...
The only excuse I have is... Who has time? Man, working full time and going to school, and being a mom is keeping so busy....
Ok, why do newcombers never come back? Honestly, I don't know...
I think the main answer is lack of commitment.
We have a rule... you have to show up when told to. There is no excuse that I am too tired, or too crabby, or don't feel like it tonight. The few times we have allowed one of us to not be there, have seriously been extreme moments. In fact we reschedule rather than have one of us not there. And speaking of scheduling. We are fanatics with the calendars and scheduling around everyone's crazy lifestyles. Can you honestly think we could try to work around one more schedule...
I say this because there have been a few that have made it through the "awesomeness" and truly enjoyed themselves and said they wanted to come back... But they lack that NEED to be with each other, that crazy obsession we have with hanging out with each other. If that need/want is not there... it will never work. We are as demanding to each other as we are grateful for each other. And I don't say that in a demeaning sense. We ALL NEED each other, and each one for different reasons, or in different ways. But nonetheless, not one of us would live without the other three.
Would someone new feel that? And be willing to commit to that? It's alot... Sometimes TOO much for the significant others!!!!!!
Love you girls.... But yes, I am probably the most leery, most cynical of letting anyone else in....
Good luck to anyone who tries!!!
Guess that means TAG your it, Zaad!

Good answer!
AND, I've already written my response but I saved it, unpublished, for 2 reasons:
1. I didn't want to over-write you, especially when you haven't written in so long and
2. I tagged you back so I'm giving you a night to breathe. And compose yourself. (deep breath)
;)
Very good post Bec.
The one thing I do see, as an outsider, is how the four of you DO jump when beckoned. Hell, I can't get one person to do that, let alone three!
I think you should show any newbies this post and say "Well?"
Bump-age
Of all the reasons I think yours takes the cake. There really is a HUGE level of committment needed. I guess I never really looked at it like that before...I saw it more as something I NEEDED as opposed to something I had to commit myself to. And you're right Bumpa...we do jump when asked. We all know that it is a two way street with each other and that is very rare to find.
