By the look of things you just get some pumpkin and spice crap smeared on the bottoms of your feet. Honestly, what's the point?

I love how people take one little thing that we enjoy and take it to the nth degree just to  make an extra buck.

I don't think "month" milestone pictures have to be taken on the specific date of LO's birth. I mean they are 3 months for the entire month not just that day.

I RARELY take the picture on the right day. Hell, her 1st month picture was taken 2 weeks before she turned 2 months.

My UO... My Xmas decor is up. I'm that lady. I'll own it.

My decorations are up too. But I'm Canadian, our thanksgiving is in October and Santa is already in all the malls here. Our parade was last weekend.

I like that thanksgiving has it's own month and November can be a lead up to Christmas.

I like having November with no holidays. Gives me time to regroup. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little ashamed that I brought up the box of decorations this morning.

I prefer cold weather to hot weather. I love the thought of having to bundle up in a big jacket,scarfs ect....and to get a coffee and just walk.. I love it.

What do you consider cold? I don't mind chilly weather but being from Montana I don't consider it cold until its below zero degrees F

Thanksgiving's usually a week earlier; it's as late as it can be. Christmas is going to come quickly this year!

Baby Spice was the worst Spice Girl. Hands. Down.

I wish my decorations were up, but DH is making me wait til black friday.

I also think i'll go shopping on thanksgiving.  We eat dinner at like 2pm, the stores are open no matter what, and there are some deals I really want to get (for other people).  I also want to spend black friday at home decorating.

It makes me sad when everyone goes on a MIL rant. I couldn't imagine my life without my grandparents and I am so glad my parents never kept me from or talked bad about their respective inlaws. I hope when our LOs are older the MIL rants get less and they get more time w/ their grandbabies.

My ILs drive me nuts but my kids have no clue and they never will. I respect their role as the grandparent and will give them as equal time with my kids as my actual parents. I can bitch about my MIL and still smile and invite her over for Christmas dinner. My dad couldn't stand my mom's parents but I never knew it until I was an adult, it can be done.

I'm with @petey1106

I would never say anything bad or negative about MIL in front of LO. Hell, I don't even say half this ish to MH! That's his mama! I couldn't imagine having my spouse bitch about MY mother all the time! Of course, my mother isn't BSC, so there's that...

MIL will have just as fair of a chance to get to know LO as my mom. I don't keep LO from her, and I don't intentionally isolate her from our family.

That's why I bitch about her here! Y'all get the brunt of my frustrations.

I hate the "real women have curves" BS. Um no, real women have a vagina is more like it. It's so ignorant. I don't know why it's ok to insult women's bodies that are skinny. Thin women are real women too, don't hate.

I hate red velvet cake. I don't understand why people eat it.

Can I have your slice??

If I wasn't hosting Thanksgiving I would have already started decorating for Christmas. My December swim schedule is ridiculous and I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to get everything done in a reasonable amount of time. 

I really don't give a shit about celebrities. I don't pay enough attention to any particular one enough to find them annoying.

Oh so I should let my baby be around her alcoholic grandmother just because she's her grandma? Cuz that makes sense. NO ONE is entitled to be with my child just because of their relation.

The older DD gets the more likely she is to realize her Ga is insane and or has substance abuse issues. Unless Ga can get her shit under control (highly unlikely) we'll limit DD's time with her even more. My daughters do not need to go through the stress and guilt of dealing with all that their father had to go through.

@lemsa I don't have IL issues. In fact, I love both my MIL and FIL and speak to them often. Reading all the IL hatred on this board is pretty sad. However, if this weren't the case I don't think parents are required to allow their children to spend time with their IL's. It's the parents choice on who gets to be in their child's lives.

@rooftop I don't consider it cold until it's minus as well. It's -2 right now and I'm wearing a sweater still. It's a comfortable cold (if that makes sense)

rooftop

KatieR2310 I get it. As long as my toes are warm I'm happy with cold weather too. I can't stand when people start whining about it being cold when it's still 50 or 60 out. Is that considered an UO?

rooftop

ooooh I finally came up with an actual UO and It still applies to prevous posts on here. I prefer my MIL to my own mother any day of the week.

Marvel1013

@rooftop I'm with you on that one!

TurtleMomma

The Disney station on Pandora needs less Lilo & Stitch and more classics, such as Cinderella, Snow White, etc. All this new-genre crap is pissing me off because I don't know it, thus making singing LO to sleep that much harder.

Not if I get to it first! I love red velvet cake! Mmmmm...

LEMSA

I understand that there is a lot of just talking on here and venting about MILs. And I know some ILs/relatives really don't need to be left alone with a child. That's why I said when LOs are older.

I suppose it stems from me being a little sappy the other night thinking 20+ yrs in the future when I would be a grandparent. Looking at my grandchild with as much love and adoration as I feel for my own child. And I would be crushed if my DIL would keep me from seeing them.

agreed - DH is the one with the whack job MIL.

thoughtfulmommy

Oh I have one: I hate when people use the argument that "it has been happening for years and no one died" against new theories. When I was pregnant I heard "women have been giving birth in fields for years", yeah thanks tips and many of those women and children did not survive. "Babies have had rice cereal for years". Just because we did it before does not make it the best decision. It's called evolution people - read, learn, change.

Side note: my dad told me to start putting rice cereal with my breast milk. I asked him why. He told me so my DS can sleep through the night. I told him he already was so... Then he just stared at me confused. Yup, don't give me advice please and thank you.

Same here!

@LEMSA, MIL was disappointed I didn't miscarry my third. She is insane and will not have a relationship with our kids. MH and I both know that's best.

I could put most these in-law rants to shame with my stories.

My uo is I'd rather stay home with dh and dd on holidays than travel. I'm perfectly ok with visiting in the days after though.

I think people who are past their college years and have children should stop using drugs.

The number of women on TB who smoke pot is ridiculous.

@BubblyDevil -why do you even bother posting? I am barely active on this board and hands down you are the dumbest MUD slinger ever.

BubblyDevil

And when have I ever insulted you?

::grabs popcorn::

The UO has just become interesting...

BubblyDevil

Lol, probably not. I have to rearrange all my furniture before the air duct cleaning people come tomorrow so I won't be around.
