I agree about the wedding stuff. If you can afford it great, but don't go into debt over it!! We did Vegas, at Caesar's. Cost about 5k courtesy of my parents. If you couldn't afford to fly there and get your own hotel, it was just one less person we had to buy dinner for at our reception! My UO: it has been mentioned before, but please don't hate me, I HATE cats! Such useless little creatures.

You clearly have never had mice in your house.

She's not, but I understand why you might think that since she's growing up in a self-obsessed, narcissistic world. I appreciate that she values her privacy and I respect the fact that she has an opinion!

I stand by my statement. I think it is beyond paranoid for a 5 year old to be worried about what people are seeing her face. Does she wear a bag over her head in public? 

It's not like these were naked pictures... I am assuming.

Yeah, it seems kind of odd to me too. Doesn't seem like a normal
reaction of a 5 yo, they are categorical AW's. Which has nothing to do
with society's narcissism, it's just where they are at in their
psychological development, they think the world revolves around them.


This, my dd loves to look at pictures of her online. Whenever she has the ipad, that is the first thing she does.

Of course, dd loves to look at pictures of herself too. She's just shy when it comes to sharing them.

Bandwagon fans: Can't stand them. I've been a Yankees fan since I was old enough to understand baseball. I can't stand people who wear the hats as a fashion statement. Hubs: I like that word. I use it frequently. And YTIK, my hubs is a Cubs fan...definitely not a bandwagon. College fans: I agree that it's acceptable to cheer as long as you live nearby, an hour maybe. Uggs: Love the cable-knits and moccasins. They are like wrapping your feet in clouds while walking on rainbows. Kid pics on FB: I pushed that kid out for 4 hours...I'm putting that cute face out for the world to see! Bacon: Only Nazis don't like bacon. My UO: It completely bothers me when Christmas decor is a hodge-podge of stuff. I plan on having two trees so there is a place for handmade/family ornaments and another for my theme tree that matches.

Oh geez, I found it. Ctrl+F for the win!

I think that growth spurts/wonder weeks are mostly confirmation bias. Babies are naturally going to cycle in and out of fussy times, times where they eat more/less, sleep more/less but I'm convinced it's all random. Kind of drives me crazy when we always need to point to a particular growth spurt or wonder week (oh, my baby is 5w1d and didn't sleep well so it must be an early 6-week growth spurt, or a late 5-week wonder week). Maybe it's just a baby being a baby. Obviously I made those numbers up.

I disagree with the whole you have to have a degree to be a fan. Not every state has a NFL team. Here in North Dakota we don't have a NFL team, so NDSU football is a pretty big deal.

That article is FUCKING insane. I mean. Truly, off the deep end paranoid. If you don't have sense enough not to post embarrassing pics, or pics identifying where you live/when you will or won't be home, then you are stupid, and that's not Facebook's fault.

I couldn't eat bacon while pregnant. It was my number one food aversion. I can eat it now, but not on weird shit like ice cream. And I'm not obsessed with it. I am not a cat person. We have 4, but they don't have named. They live here to kill mice and eat dog food when they aren't doing their job. Assholes. I'm not mean to them and I do talk to them, but they are scared of us (feral) The white kitty comes close to us. My UO: I LOVED being pregnant. My pregnancy was a breeze and I only slightly became uncomfortable sleeping toward the end. My sex drive was through the roof, my hormones were balanced for the first time in my life and I only gained 7 pounds. I'll never be pregnant again.

We have 4 outdoor, feral, mouse-killas too. They hate us, but they love the food, water, shelter, and hear lamp we provide them. And we love them for keeping us mouse-free. But yeah, they're assholes.

Yeah, I still don't agree. I mean, obviously I'm not going to put pictures of my naked child on facebook, or put our address on there.... and putting a picture up with my child wearing my bra. SUPER creepy. Those people were just idiots. I guess if you are an idiot you should not post pictures of your child. No, I don't think she won't get into college because I posted on facebook that she wasn't taking naps at 2 months old. And, there is no way in hell I am going to name my child whatever name I can find that doesn't have negative associations with it. This is majorly paranoid and I still honestly don't understand. 

As a parent I refuse to live in fear that something horrible is right around the corner ready to ruin my child's life. So, I will continue to post pictures of my adorable baby. 

To each their own. Like I said before, your kids. You can make the rules.

I hate all college football and thankfully my hubs (who IS my BFF) doesn't care about it either. We are NFL people. But I'll admit as much as he tries to teach me...I don't care about divisions or leagues or whatevs. I barely watch it...I'm usually cooking on game days.

I think co sleeping is natural.

My mother gave me $ 25,000 for our wedding. We spent $10,000 for everything with the promise of getting the difference for a down payment on a house. My mother then spent that money. So I wish I had spent it all because I'm #stillbitter

People who deny their child the magic of believing in Santa Claus because of "jesus" really annoy me.

#youreweird

Of course not. I'm just saying you never know exactly how, when and where your photos are going to end up. Internet privacy is a joke. And even if you lock down your settings, delete your meta data, follow all the rules, someone could take your photos, use them to create fake profiles, snarky memes, etc.

Sorry but the only one who can be snarky about my photos is me!

I knew this was an unpopular opinion but I didn't expect to be called weird and a liar! Seriously!
