Maybe it's an IRL UO. Other than DH, I feel like I'm the only one.

Yeah it drives we crazy how everyone just says they are being bullied when someone disagrees with them or give them a hard time. Bulling is such a hot button word now I feel like people just use it because of the response they get not because it is actually going on or they even truly know what the word means.

I'm sick of some of my friends who are teachers filling up my FB newsfeed with wishes for another snow day.  I get it, snow days are fabulous, but they've already had like 5 in the last month and I have to go to work regardless! Stop sounding like a 7 year old!

I think drinking/eating things with artificial sweeteners during pregnancy is WAY worse than eating soft cheeses, lunch meats, the occasional glass of wine at the end, etc.

I judge people who microwave things in plastic containers.

I think it's obnoxious when women refer to themselves in the third person as "mommy" while talking to adults or posting on social media. For example, a Facebook status I recently saw: "Fun snow day, but mommy is tired!" No, just no.

My UO is that I think people who worry about artificial sweeteners fall prey to the latest fad instead of really understanding scientific research.

I also think that about people who are obsessive about Paleo diets.

That's what happens when you marry a toxicologist who is obsessed with nutrition, I suppose.

My UO is that I am a teacher and was so irritated that we got a snow day today. We start vacation after tomorrow, we don't need another day off right now! Plus, I leave for vacation now two days after my last day of school. I need time to pack!!! I know, first world problems here!

I wish we were getting some snow.  It hit everywhere in the South but keeps missing middle TN.  If it's going to be this cold, I want some snow.  I'm originally from the Northern IL so completely understand getting really sick of it as well.

How so?

They can lead to metabolic problems and put you at a much higher risk for type II diabetes. Also, the studies done to test cancer causation were done with much lower quantities of Artificial sweeteners than most people who regularly consume them take in on a daily/weekly basis. A handful of cancer survivors I know have been advised to steer clear of them because of the cancer risks associated with them. There are tons of studies and info out there (especially on aspartame) that I won't get into. I just think they're poison and try to avoid them at all costs.

"The studies provide no evidence to support an association between aspartame and cancer in any tissue. The weight of existing evidence is that aspartame is safe at current levels of consumption as a nonnutritive sweetener."




https://www.joslin.org/info/correcting_internet_myths_about_aspartame.html

"Aspartame has been studied extensively, since 1965, with approximately 200 studies conducted in humans and animals. The safety of aspartame has been well established. The results of these scientific studies have shown that eating products sweetened with aspartame is no different from eating other foods and is not associated with adverse health effects."

My UO is giving people the side eye that use cleaning services.  I don't see what the big deal is to clean your house on your own.  It's not that bad.

I could post plenty of peer reviewed articles supporting my opinion, too. I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

My MIL is a SAHW and doesn't even do the laundry. :-O

It's not like she is incredibly busy either. She doesn't go anywhere or do anything other than eat, smoke and watch tv. And wonders why her diabetes is out of control (but refuses to change when we try to help her).

This one is probably going to piss someone off, but....
I hate it when people complain about how behind they are at work, how much time they spend on social media, etc. and then keep doing it! It's cool if you don't want to complain about it, but if you are so behind, turn off Facebook and get to work!

Hahahaha...maybe your toddler isn't a tornado yet...but I'm not sure when I could clean my house without DD immediately making more of a mess than I just cleaned. Her hour long naps don't really cut it.  It works much better for someone to clean when none of us are home.

I would LOVE to have someone clean my house.  Yes, I am capable of it, but I hate it, I'm terrible about keeping up with it, and I can think of about a thousand things I could do with my time that would be more productive and fun.

@AggieBeth06 & @Duder: I am in love with your source quoting/providing ways. I wish all proclamations on this board came with sources.

@golfbride44: My husbands away on travel for 6 weeks, I work 52 hours a week, take care of a 6 months old AND keep my house up to my compulsive standards, while being in my first trimester? Go kick rocks.

I LOVE my cleaning lady. She comes every 2 weeks and only does the big stuff. Maybe I am lazy, but she can do more in 2 hours than I can get done in 2 weeks. I still do general tidying and things like dishes, laundry, and vacuuming, but dusting....no one wants to dust.

Kay, I'm not a big fan of aspartame either, I can't stand the taste and avoid it for that reason, but you're talking apples and potatoes here. Soft cheese is considered a concern because it's not pasteurized, and lunch meat is listeria concerns... if you contract listeria during pregnancy, that's really bad news.
Don't get me wrong, I eat both while pregnant, but you're essentially saying that the risk of type II diabetes and other potential long term illnesses are more serious than the threat than listeria... Even if they did put you at risk for those things, there is a reason pregnant women are suggested to stay away from some foods and not others.
Personally, I can't help but think that the fear of artificial sweeteners is more of a paranoia than anything.

Many soft cheeses sold in the US are made from pasteurized milk. If you want some soft cheese just check the label before you buy.

Ok, I'll continue to trust my DH who has a PhD in toxicology and has studied these type of things in depth.

I actually thought it was illegal to sell unpasteurized cheese in the US.  Maybe I have that wrong, but I always thought that you can't actually get "real" camembert (for example) in the US because of the laws regarding the pasteurization of dairy products here (the USDA and all of that).  But really, the brie that you're getting from the cheese section at your local grocery is certainly going to be pasteurized, and if at all, I'm pretty sure you'd have to go out looking for unpasteurized cheese direct from a dairy or from a fancy cheese shop or something.

Nope, she doesn't do cleaning.

Yep. I also get really annoyed with people who are due at the end of the month but don't want to be "the last to experience everything" so they jump on the next BMB so they're the first. Booo fucking hoooo! Suck it up, someone has to be at the end, I'm sorry you ovulated when you did. 

Edit: My exception is if you started on one BMB and had been active on it for a while, but later your Dr changed your due date and your month changed.

@SusieBW & @DianaVB & @C_mo

Here is a little information I found about laws regulating "raw milk consumption".

"In 1987, the FDA mandated pasteurization of all milk and milk products for human consumption, effectively banning the shipment of raw milk in interstate commerce with the exception of cheese made from raw milk, provided the cheese has been aged a minimum of 60 days and is clearly labeled as unpasteurized."

It also has state-by-state laws. https://www.realrawmilkfacts.com/raw-milk-regulations

*The website is slightly biased but it is the "easiest to use/read"... just an FYI.
