Make it good!

Into+the+Kitty

The term 'making love' is disgusting.

Mandmeesh

Add to the list: knocked up, preggers. And I hate the term little man

Into+the+Kitty

Also, when someone says they 'fell pregnant' I see red.

I totally agree.  Blech.

Mandmeesh

Fell pregnant? What is that? Like they fell on a penis and a baby appeared?

JEPES1348

Ugh, I hate "making love." And I agree with Meesh too. HOWEVER, my baby shower invitation was totally a poster for the movie Knocked Up with DH's and my face photoshopped on Catherine Heigl and Seth Rogan's body. It looked great, and let everyone know that I didn't expect cutesy bullshit surrounding the birth of my child. We're not very serious people.

Mandmeesh

I love cutesy little baby clothes. They're really difficult to find, especially for boys. All the clothes are designed to make your baby look like a stupid hipster: cuffed jeans, popped collar shirt, fedoras. Come on! Give me some onesies and hats with puppy ears

JEPES1348

My UO, I dislike pushy parents. It makes me want to give you your way even less. I totally understand advocating for your child, and I'm sorry our waitlist is a few months out. But if you don't like it, you can go somewhere else; I'm not going to squeeze you into my schedule and bypass other families that have been waiting patiently just to please you while you're in Bitch Mom mode. 

BTW, I had a mom *totally appalled* that she had to wait until August to see me. I had a cancellation and graciously moved her up. Guess what? The jackass has the nerve to no-show for the appointment this morning. Never again for her.

This is always what it makes me think of!

It's like pregnancy just magically happened to you, and you have no idea how.

JEPES1348

I just bought a boys' sweater jacket from Baby Gap for this exact reason.

unaveragejane

I hate, hate, hate the skull and crossbones trend on kids' clothes.

stoneycakes

I hate cutesy stuff for babies.  I especially hate things with sayings like "Daddy's big guy."  Where are the solids for babies???

JEPES1348

I hate the mustache trend.

Into+the+Kitty

I don't like chevron.

stoneycakes

Chevron's fine, but I don't understand why it is so ridiculously popular lately.

unaveragejane

Oh, just wait, Stoney. Quatrefoil is the new Chevron.

stoneycakes

I had to google Quatrefoil.  I like that pattern for home decorating.

When you're in a bad mood, you need to evaluate what's going on with yourself instead of automatically blaming it on outside circumstances.

This UO is brought to you by DH who just quit smoking and will not admit that his attitude, which coincidentally appeared soon after he smoked his last cigarette, might have something to do with that.

JEPES1348

Good for your DH @stoneycakes! Well, not the 'tude part.

Probably a PO, but I think e-cigarettes are dumb. Just...what??

MoFree

I don't think people opposed to sensible gun regulation can label themselves 'pro life' even if they oppose abortion under any circumstances.

I know.  I'm really proud of him.  I know how hard it is to quit smoking, having done it myself many times, lol.  I think e-cigarettes are dumb, too.  I have friends who went from smoking real cigarettes to smoking e-cigarettes in a effort to quit.  Great.  Now you're hooked on something else.

I like the Duggars.

FFFC anyone?  

Mandmeesh

But my baby looks badass with a fedora, ( @stringy813 ) smoking an e-cig and a skull and crossbones on his popped-collar tshirt. 

oh. wait.

Edited my stupid clicky link

stupid link edited again. 

it's not a funny joke anymore. lol

CLLDLL

@unaveragejane‌ I used to hate the skull and crossbones trend too. Then my 8 year old started picking out his own clothes. That's what he likes. I feel like there are other battles that are more important to fight, so that's what he wears. Sigh.

just pour vinegar on everything. 

j/k. I know your pain. 

my UO: If my baby is in a carrier and it's hot out and he hates shoes, leaving him barefoot is not tantamount to child abuse, guy at the bus stop.

haha.  mh has been trying to convince me that socks are too hot for M when it's 80º out and he's in the carrier. 

my solution was to buy some baby sandals.  something about bare baby feet that looks weird to me

Mandmeesh

I really think nicknames for pacifiers are so stupid.  

But we call them bippy and boppy and boopy. 

Though M never used one. lol

blondolphn

My baby is barefoot and half dressed 99% of the time. She is a steam engine.

Aurora_Borealis

The smell of Burt's Bee's baby products makes me want to gag. I have a practically full tube of their baby lotion that I can't bring myself to use because the one time I put it on DD it took me all day to figure out the awful smell I kept smelling was...her. : (

Amores0121

I don't like this new trend of calling a baby a "squish". I just don't like the name squish.

SuperTinkerham

I want to punch people in the face that smoke those e cigarettes indoors around me.

SuperTinkerham

I really don't want to use a pacifier for this kid. I think they're gross and all juicy and yucky. I hope he doesn't need or take to one.

My MIL calls them a "bop." Drives me effing crazy. No, my kid doesn't want their "bop" because they don't know what that even means!

Rabbit skins. Nice solid bright colors. I don't like clothes with words.

MIL asked me "What do you want for Christmas?" I said "I want money to buy cute baby diapers." She says "That's for the baby. I want to get YOU something." I said "That is for me." She says "No it's not. Now what do YOU want?" I think I ended up getting tupperware. Ugh My UO (or is it a FFFC?) I hate blanket safety statements. "That's not safe for baby because they could get hurt!" I think as a mom it is our job to use our own judgement and listen to others experience and research. Take my weekend plans for instance. We are going camping. We are going to be riding trails on 4 wheelers. Many would say that it is not safe for baby. I say that I am a responsible mother. I am planning on wearing him in the Ergo, I'm an experienced rider, I'm not going fast, I'm not going to be climbing dangerous ground, or riding a lot of rough jerky terrain. I would NEVER strap him in a carseat to something that didn't have a roll bar (hence wearing him). And if it looks like it won't work out then I won't do it or stop doing it.

I would never wear a baby while 4wheeling. It's like biking while wearing a baby they have to be a certain size and its safer to have them in their own bike seat. And even then the kid usually wears a helmet.
