UO

BC&LM

Let's hear them!

BC&LM

I think eating raw cookie dough and cake batter is disgusting.

BC&LM

Inspired by the bump-wide UO thread: I think there is such a thing as trampy looking clothes for kids. Does that make the kids themselves look trampy? Hell no, they are kids! But I would totally judge the company who makes it and the people who buy them. Basically, if it would look trampy on an adult, a kid should not be wearing it either.

I'm glad that people started creating threads outside of TTOAT. I'm kind of over that thread. Stuff gets buried in it and it makes our board seem dead. We could always have a daily spam thread for random stuff.

Totally agree.  I only participate in it from time to time because it can get overwhelming trying to keep up with it. Plus, we don't have as many individual threads now. I would much rather have a daily spam thread.

I don't like Girl Scout cookies. I find them a waste of calories. Soft batch for life!
I'm also all in for an end to the TOAT.

@calikat80 the quality has really gone down without the price going down. And magically, each year the quantity goes down too...

I think this is my first UO and it's pretty lame.
I don't like beer. Give me wine or mixed drinks any day. I've tried every kind, multiple times and just can't do it. However, get me drunk enough and apparently that dislike goes away because it doesn't bother me then!

No longer the best

I wish I was eating raw cookie dough right now

This is more of a confession, but sometimes I make cookie dough with no intention of baking it.

I do this with brownie mix.  It drives DH nuts.

There is an eggless cookie dough recipe circulating on Facebook!!

I was thinking about this when I let DD have an Oreo last night. Anyway I think moms who won't allow older infants and toddlers any sweets are whack. I'm not saying give your baby their own slice of pie, but if you're having something let that poor baby have a bite! And those who are anti first birthday cake, oh man, just wait until they have sugar for the first time when you're not around.

Well I guess his is a UO, but I like the TOAT. I would never create a new thread for the random stuff I post. If we wanted to make it weekly we could, but I don't think it would change much. Except it would not be pinned to the top which would suck.

My theory is I'm at least going to wait until she can ask for it. I eat a ridiculous amount of junk food and I'm really hoping I can impart better habits on DD. Right now she loves fruits and veggies and meat and dairy. Why would I want even the remote risk of sabotaging that?

I don't think the Westboro Baptist crazies should be considered a church. They are a hate group and should have to pay taxes gosh darn it!

This. I don't like when people use "religion" as an excuse to be judgmental and inhumane.

I don't think these are unpopular opinions

I really dislike most "funny" movies - I guess I just have a different sense of humor.  I really disliked Bridesmaids, There's Something About Mary, Anchorman, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and the list goes on...

It's not that I dislike funny stuff.  We went to an sketch/improv comedy show the other night that was hilarious!  I just think most funny movies are dumb.

I was with you until you threw Monty Python in there! The others just make me uncomfortable and embarrassed for the characters. I don't enjoy that feeling.

I dont understand how some people dont "love" all of the baby pics that are posted in a PoTD thread. How can you not love a pic of a baby? It bothers me everytime i see a pic at the bottom with 25 love its and a pic above it with 15. How can 10 people not love a baby pic??
I "love" all of them! Love its for everybodyyyyyy!

Agreed! Every picture of a baby gets a love it from me. Even if the thread died hours ago!!!

I am not saying I will never let LO have sweets, but I see no need for them for him right now other than maybe a teething biscuit.  I am not going to judge someone who wants to give them to their kid because that is that person's decision, but I don't think people should judge me either for not wanting to give them to him yet.

I get behind on the TOAT, hence why sometimes some get love its and others don't.

ETA: Oops, misread.  Makes less sense in PoTD thread.

I wasn't aware of this Coexist thing before this.  But anything prejudiced sucks, no matter what excuses you make.

UO: I like my body now better than I did pre-pregnancy

I'm impressed with this statement. I wish I could say the same. Everyone says I look great but I am the hardest on myself.

I am more forgiving of my body, but I miss my pre-pregnancy body for sure

I think a lot of the wedding etiquette stuff on theknot boards is wrong and/or regional.

And I have to say, you ladies are much nicer than those ladies.

GraceInCA

I judge moms who let their kids have McDonald's 1+ times a week.  I have a relative who does this with her young children when she doesn't feel like cooking and I think it's gross. Why doesn't she go to some place like El Pollo Loco or something? Even store bought roasted chicken and some salad from the deli case? I get lazy too, but I'm not going to hit the Micky D's drive thru every time.  

I never judge out loud though. I keep my mean thoughts inside.

Like what? I agree the ladies on the Knot as a group aren't as awesome as our June ladies. But certain things I feel are standard etiquette no matter where you are, like thank you cards.

RedCherry1109

I don't eat McDonald's but I'll let me kids have for a special treat every few months. 

LaBellaVida

Mc. Donalds is friggen gross!! I'm not sure MC. Donalds should be considered a "special treat."

Raw cookie dough is bomb!

I have no new UO despite my efforts to come up with one. :-S

RedCherry1109

We don't have much to chose from where a I live at and I have a very picky 3 year old and McDonalds is pretty much the only fast food he will eat. Maybe I should've not said special treat but they don't get fast food very often so at our house it is a special treat.

My UO is a little late but I'll go ahead and say that I'm not a fan of over baby proofing. Kids need to learn about cause and effect. If you totally protect them they'll never get that if they're not careful they're going to get hurt. I'm a fan of the basics like the little plug cover uppers and not letting the kid play with the cleaning supplies but I'm not completely rearranging my house.

Oooh, this is a good one.  I agree, to some extent.  I do have a handyman coming next week to bolt furniture and and an 8 foot wood mirror that just leans against the wall.  Things that are life-or-death don't get the "cause and effect" pass (like gates at top of stairs), but beyond that, I probably won't pad every single pointy corner in my house.  

That was my view too...until DS1 was a toddler. I believed in teaching kids what they can and can't do and although I do my best, it depends so much on your child's personality. I don't have every corner covered, but I do have more locks on doors and cabinets and toilets than I thought I would. Some kids will not touch when you say no...I do not have that kid!

I have a really adventurous climber toddler who has brought me to tears a few times just from finding him in certain places. Like unlocking and opening a window on the third floor and standing on the sill while pressing against the screen. Or after he knocked out the side panel of the AC unit and was sitting in the small space between the frame and the AC just hanging out the 2nd floor. Every kid is different but if we just tried to reason and teach him not to do certain things it wouldn't work. And if we didn't take serious precautions with our windows and our furniture all being secure I have no doubt he would have had a broken neck by now or even worse. I still get the shakes thinking about seeing him trying to jump out the windows. The stakes are too high sometimes to just let them learn their lesson!

HelgaFunk

I understand there are situations where you have to make a judgment based on your child's personality. What i can't stand is when parents have been so over the top that when a child is at someone else's house the child goes crazy getting into crap because they haven't actually been taught what's appropriate behavior.
