That day

Anyone?

I'm trying to catch up on Breaking Bad on Netflix and I just can't understand why everyone loves it. I'm about halfway through season 2 and I just don't get it...

I've never even seen it.

Mine-
I'm catching up on my news.. I just read about the school who has banned harder balls in school (basketballs, etc) and another that won't allow kids to do cartwheels outside.  Lawsuit fears. I think that freaking sucks, and I hate society putting kids in a bubble. Let them be children. Broken bones and accidents may happen, but isn't that life?  Are they supposed to play basketball with a nerf ball?  I always did cartwheels outside at lunch time when I was a kid, across the football field.  I hate when kids can't be kids.

I hate when people say "Oh it's too early. That's just bloat." Everyone and every pregnancy is different. Even if it is just bloat and my organs shifting around to make space, that's my baby bump dammit! It's there because I'm pregnant! Just let me enjoy it!

Add BD (baby dancing) - it's sex people, it's sex.
And preggers. 
... and I'm with ya.

I get a little angry inside whenever I hear someone puts their god before their children...

(Sorry to any religious folk... but to me your babies should *always* come first no matter what!)

Yessss!!! I've been trying to get into it too but I just feel kind of meh about it!

I'm curious for examples of this. I mean, I can obviously think of that UO last week in May's board about the woman who said she'd rather die with baby than have a c-section. But that seemed pretty extreme to me. Are there other instances you can point out? 

I can think of a few examples, but I just kind of mean in general.  I have a few friends on Facebook with children who constantly post about how God is the most important thing in their lives.  Maybe this is more of a FFFC, but I find it hard not to shake my head and think, "Shouldn't your son be the most important thing in your life?"

Although, you could most certainly extrapolate this to more head-shaking scenarios - like the parents from my hometown with a diabetic daughter. She died because "mom" and "dad" chose to pray for her health instead of seeking medical care for a very treatable condition.

^ In this case though, I'm sure it's not an unpopular opinion.

It drives me crazy when people say they weren't using protection but then say their pregnancy was a "surprise" or unplanned. What's so surprising about it?????

I have found over the years that I am HIGHLY allergic to baby dust. It makes me sneeze, cough, and roll my eyes. Thank god they were all out at my REs office, lol!

I think backing into a parking space is a waste of time. It takes you just as long to back out when you leave as it does to back in when you get there. Drives me nuts!

I'm going to take this a step further and say that people who do this in busy parking lots are complete assholes

You'll like this then- I found it today. Not bloat, just looose muscles rounding out! Who knew we second time moms were so loose?  

The explanation for the bold belly growth with a second child is that a first time mom has better muscle tone in her uterine and abdominal muscles. After each pregnancy, the skin, muscles, and surrounding ligaments have been stretched, so when the pregnancy hormones kick in, they take their round shape earlier on. The Mayo Clinic’s Guide to Pregnancy describes it, “Like a balloon that’s easier to blow up the second time around : ” It has nothing to do with having a bigger baby per se (at 12 weeks, a baby still weighs under an ounce, so she’s not the culprit). The looser muscles of the expanding uterus and abdomen just let everything out sooner. On the high side, even though many second-time moms feel bigger earlier on, the growth tends to level out as the pregnancy progresses.

Oh FFS! I'm not a saggy balloon! I knew I didn't buy that book for a reason...

I think people that don't return shopping carts to the corrals in parking lots are assholes.  It takes all of a minute at most to walk it over there, so there's no excuse to not do it.  Every time I see someone walk away from a shopping cart, I feel like hurtling one towards their car as they leave and just say "oh I'm sorry, I assumed that's what you wanted because you left your cart in the parking lot to hit other cars, so I figured you probably liked them hitting yours too"

I hope this isn't unpopular.

I'd hope so, but with the amount of people I see do this IRL, you never know.

Sadly, you're probably right.  The lack of common sense a lot of people have is astounding. (FTR, it's also one of my pet peeves).

I hate when people are on their phones while using a public restroom. It's weird and gross IMO!

This drives me insane. I once watched a lady in a gigantic Mercedes leave her cart directly behind someone else's car. I don't condone people leaving them in the middle of spaces, but this was just mean!

My grocery store doesn't let you take carts out. They load your car for you. No tips accepted! I love it.

This is definitely not an UO, but I hate when people double park.  One time when I was in college, there was a shitty BMW Z4 parked in FOUR spaces.  It was totally beat up, the convertible top was peeling, the paint was chipped, etc, so why they needed 4 spaces is beyond me.  Also, they left their window halfway down, and I may or may not have dumped an entire bottle of water on their cloth drivers seat...

I hate the whole concept of "designer" dogs (labradoodle, etc.). Sorry, but you just shelled out all that money for a MUTT. There are plenty of mutts that need rescuing at your local shelter. And if you're going for "hypoallergenic" just go buy a poodle and stop rewarding all of these irresponsible breeders.

im guilty of this. sometimes when you have a toddler you have to do things that make you angry lol. 
especially in the rain when your kid wont wear a coat. 

because you cant leave your kid alone in the car...

Maybe I'm in the wrong then. I will always return the cart even if it means DD is in the car for 5 seconds while I run it to the return. However, I do my errands early in the morning so I can usually just park next to the cart return.

I would be the asshole that would allow my kid to get soaked then, if they refused to wear a coat  And still bring the cart back.

This might be another UO of mine, too.. when people assume first timers don't know anything. Or can't have opinions.   It's one thing to say "I won't ever let my kid watch tv before 3!!" or "I won't let my kid have fast food until they're 6!!" I won't say those things. Ever.  I'm not naive.  I will ALWAYS return carts to where they belong.  No matter how old my kid is, how many I have, what the weather is like...  it's the thing to do.  You just do it.  Otherwise, you risk hitting someones car.  And if someone EVER did that and my car was damaged because of them, I'd be spitting freaking nails.

People who complain about not getting early ultrasounds. I haven't seen it much on here so far, but I know it'll come as soon as everyone starts to get them more and more around 6 weeks. I feel like it is necessary for some, not for all.

I wasnt assuming you know nothing but its one thing to say you'll let your kid get wet and cold before they are here just to return a cart, but its another to actually do it, but we all do what we think is right. and someone's car 100 feet away isnt worth it to me, i always park far away because i cant park like at all.  and there are no cart returns at the back of a parking lot.

Ehh, I used to get annoyed by rainbow babies, but I just eventually gave in (just used the term on my intro to PGAL...). Baby dust is really annoying, BD is even more annoying, and preggers is like scratching a chalkboard. I also used to refuse to use TB acronyms because I thought they were just a way to by lazy! Not anymore!

You're assuming when I actually have a kid, what I'm saying and what I DO are two different things.  I'm telling you I will, without a doubt, return my carts ALWAYS.  It's not a question. It's human decency. There are very few things I say when pregnant "I won't do this or that", like I said above.  That's silly. I know opinions can change when the kid is here, and things don't always go as you said.

Not returning a cart is being lazy, sorry..  we'll agree to disagree   And in 10 years, you come ask me if I've ever left a cart in the lot.
