Oh, me! I HATE giant bow headbands! When the bow/flower is as big as the girls head, I think it's so silly. I've always liked clothing and fashion, but it's a fact that I'm not a frilly girl. I have a feeling DD will be the same

tsmith312

Oh like this @ErinE683‌ haha

ErinE683

@tsmith312 (new screen name, huh?), I saw that on FB yesterday It is adorable/hilarious... and since you commented on how crazy huge it was, I'll let it go! Harper and Elise could still be friends

Zombielove126

I think "Christmas in July" is stupid. Christmas in December is bad enough for me. I'm a grinch. Lol

I think the let's make everything taste like birthday cake craze is yuck. Nothing that they claim tastes like birthday cake actually does. Yet I fall for it every. Single. Time! I'm done!

I hate the Kardashians. I refuse to watch the Today show because a few years ago, during the 9/11 moment of silence, they instead interviewed kris Jenner. Why are they so famous??!! Oh and yes, I do hope her marriage to Kanye is miserable. Happy Thursday!!

I really REALLY wish this wasn't a UO. The Kardashians are vile.

I love broccoli

I don't think tummy time is as crucial as its made out to be. Yes, you probably shouldn't let your baby languish on his back all day, but getting into a tizzy over the amount of time he spends on his tummy or exactly what counts and doesn't count as tummy time is silly.

I like talking about weight. AND I have started hating the fact that we need to tippee toe around the fact that some of us produce lots of milk. I get that some people have struggles - and we're here for you! But sometimes I want to shout from the rooftops that "I DID IT!" I want to see other people successes too without the "oh you're so lucky. I wish I could" zingers.

Did you do it when she was sleeping?  I've been dying to paint LO's toes.  Though I'm not sure it will look good, her big toe nails were so short at birth that they are now like growing into the skin as they get longer.  My ped swears it is not an issue but it still concerns me and I'll bring it up again at her next appt next week.

I think people should be more considerate of people with babies (holding doors, getting out of the way of a stroller, offering seat when your holding a baby, etc). This stems from the asshole who let a door close on me at a restaurant almost hitting the carrier.

LittlePigeon

@angelsnight‌ My little one's toenails are like that too. My ped also said they are fine.

My UO is that I have a celeb crush on Dr. Drew. I love him. His podcast is fascinating.

Nope she was wide awake, Ive done it when she was asleep before though .

AGREED AND WHY THE HELL does my local J.C.penny NOT have an automatic door. Its super hard to get out with a stroller.

What do you mean by zingers? Because any time I've ever said something like that to someone, I genuinely meant it. I wasn't trying to make them feel bad or weird. 

Then it could just be me taking it wrong. I want so bad for the women trying to increase supply or feed BM to suceed that if I were to AW (or read others) easy supply with extra for the freezer, I feel a little whom-whom when I read replies that have negative tones* in them. Such as people reminding me of how lucky I am for having it easy. It's deflating.

Ps- this is a made up situation that I have read similar situations of. No actual names or people. Just feels.

*this may be where I read things on the Internet not as they are intended.

A lot of people don't like the " newborn stage". I loved it, I loved how tiny and snuggly she was.

I'm really tired of seeing all the "when are you going to have another" posts. It depresses me. My husband and I REALLY wanted 2 or 3 kids, and since my IF diagnosis, we weren't even sure 1 would be a reality. Now that he is here, I'm so grateful and blessed, but there is a part of me that is very sad that we may not be able to give him a sibling. I know it's no one else's fault that I can't get pregnant on my own, but those posts are just another reminder of something that may never happen for us. I don't want to be one and done, and I get angry and depressed that that choice was ripped away from us. (Posting this makes me think I need another therapy session.)

I'm sorry, I totally see where you would be upset. Its getting annoying to me too. Its like the " how many centimeters am I dilated " posts.

Different situation but certain threads bother me a lot too. I hear you on the last sentence. Usually when I'm feeling extra sensitive by a harmless thread I realize I forgot my meds for a few days.

I loved the newborn stage!  Once LO started wanting to move and look around when I was holding her, I got sad.  I miss when she would just sleep on me for most of the day.  Now, she gets cuddly after nursing and I will just sit with her because I know it won't last long enough.

nlane0723

I love the Kardashians. Like a lot. The show was on TV while I gave birth.

wildhoney4508

Same @nlane0723‌ lol like watching a train wreck-I can't look away...apparently this is an UO as well
<:-P

Zombielove126

@ChalupMama‌, yessss, it was the birthday cake m & m's that put me over the edge the other day! Oh, and the birthday cake frosting stuffed chips a hoy cookies. Barf. I'm done trying the stuff, I guess it's better for my waistline anyways.

Ahutch428

I love birthday cake flavored stuff! Haven't tried the Oreos or M&Ms though. My favorite thing to make is birthday cake Rice Krispies!

I love living in a small town. I love that I can leave my vehicle running & run into Arby's for food to go, and have it sitting there waiting for me when I'm done.

If you have an Arby's.... that's not exactly small town

We are slowly growing. Fast food joints are the only ones to ever stay in business in this small town, it's pretty sad. But it is the worst Arby's in America. On more than one separate occasion they have been out of roast beef.

I look forward to going to work a lot of times because it gives me a break from my kids.

<br>

I also get really irritated when people see that I have one of each (boy/girl) and say 'aw now you can be done.' I wouldn't have considered a 2nd daughter to be a consolation prize that caused me to want to keep trying until we 'got it right' and got a boy. This shop was closed either way!

I have those feelings too.  We want at least one more one day and are lucky to have frozen embryos remaining.  But that doesn't mean any will actually be a take home baby.
Although we are thrilled with our little girl, I don't think the IF feelings will ever go away.  My heart still breaks every time I hear a pregnancy announcement, especially when they also say it was a surprise.  I'm happy for them, but sad for us.
I'm dreading when the "when will you have another?" questions start coming up IRL...

Omg, I waaaaaant that! Go ahead and whip some up and send it over. I'll wait by my mailbox;). That's the problem I love birthday cake flavored stuff done right, but lately I'm not impressed. The oreos are actually yummy.

The area much of my family lives in has a McDonalds (it's kinda on the outskirts near the freeway) and it is DEFINITELY small town.

@nanacook, we went to said small town this past weekend and it was nice to be able to leave our keys in our vehicle (at my dad's place, I am too much city girl to do it out somewhere) and leave our camper unlocked at night.  I know crime can happen anywhere, but I like the safe feeling I have when I am there.

I have an abundance of milk too. I am grateful for it.

Here's my uo - I'm not freezing any. I could have likely have a massive stash of milk but I hate pumping with a passion. I did it for a month but got mastitis twice cause pumping was causing me to overproduce. I will bf m as long as I can and when I can't I will use formula / milk etc.

I recognize though that I am lucky not to have the pressure of building a stash because I am on mat leave for a year.

Meeee too! Hate pumping. Only do it if we're going out without the babies.

I also love the kardashians. Love love love them. And I'm not ashamed to admit. I've got lots of sisters and we grew up in the same wild crazy fun way as they seem to have on the show.

SurpriseAt39

Sounds like you've seen that ^^ lately??

rockopera

It's always something though. BF stories make me jealous because I'm still sad about failing at BFing. But I do have a great sleeper so I'm grateful for that. But can't talk about it, because it has been actually said, multiple times in various places, to not talk about STTN because some mamas are still struggling with sleep. Mamas who want to stay home but can't don't love SAHM stories. Mamas who have more disposable income may make some mamas sad because they can't afford things they want. Those with relationship problems probably don't love the DH brag posts.

It's always something and I bet almost all of us have something we wish was different.

I don't know the answer. I think we should be able to celebrate successes, but also need to be kind and mindful. Don't humblebrag, but also skip over happy posts that bug you and realize that while you may not have that one thing, you may have something else that someone doesn't.

I love historical romance novels! Only mh and my mom know this.
