11/06 Unpopular Opinion

1) It's apparently my unpopular opinion in my house that toenail clippers should be put back where they belong. I just did a funky hack job with fingernail clippers because I was growing talons. Thanks DH. You suck at putting things back.

2) I don't find Modern Family funny & I'm not sure why people are obsessed with Scandal. Except Olivia's clothes are epic.

After watching part of the CMAs last night, these are country people that I can't stand:  Carrie Underwood, Florida-Georgia Line, Luke Bryan. So much suck there.

I don't get the exchanging of presents with siblings. 

I'm sure this makes no sense to a lot of people. My brother and I quit exchanging gifts when we got each other the same thing about 8 years ago and I LOVE that I don't have to worry about getting him or my SIL anything. 

We buy for nieces and nephews and my parents. On DH's side we still exchange with his siblings and it's just pointless, we get stuff we don't need and they get stuff they don't need or want. 

I think as I've gotten older, I realize that it's nice to get gifts but usually if it's something I want or need I will just go out and get it. I feel like the holidays are about the kids now. I do still want to give to our parents because they do a lot for us, but siblings.. ehh I just don't see the point.

I hate working at home sometimes. Before kids, amazing. After, not so much.

Word.  It has gotten to the point where I am actually jealous of my husband's commute because he gets time alone in the car during the week where he doesn't have to think about a) work, b) the kids, c) the house, or d) our childcare (which are all I do or think about all day long every day including weekends). But being home does make the whole nursing situation easier.  Unless, of course, one is dialed into a two day long drafting session and the team in the board room picks just the moment when LO latches on to direct a question your way, and then it kind of sucks.

Sparkly Uggs. Or Uggs in general. My SIL wears silver sequin uggs with stretch pants and an oversized (off the shoulder) sweatshirt. Shes 35 years old. Not cute. 

Everything about this makes me give the "Bernie Mac Say Whaaaa...?" look.

I hate Uggs. So. So. Much. They make everyone look like a Clydesdale horse.

Leggings are NOT pants! I'm fine with them under a dress, to ya know, help keep your legs warm. But they are not pants to be worn alone.



I just don't get it..

I have a co-worker who wears leggings and pants and I really want to tell her she fails.

I think it's kind of weird when your kid is old enough to ask you to breastfeed. As in, they can walk up to you and ask for it and you proceed to feed them. I get that the longer you can breastfeed for the better it is for your child, but would weird me out if LO could ask for it. Makes me think of the movie Grown Ups.

My family used to give me shit for nursing DS as long as I did and still quiz me on if I'm going to nurse DD for that long (19 months).  He never asked for it like "Yo mom, boob now!"  A month after him weaning, he acted like he was wanting to nurse and I was a little squeeved about it.  So weird to feel weird about it when you were just doing it a month ago.  He will try and drink DDs milk that I pump into a bottle and I'm just "meh" about it.  But it would weird me out as well to see a 4-5 year old asking to nurse.

DS1 (age 4) made some comment about nursing so just to see how he'd react I asked if he wanted to and he gave me the most disgusted "Ew, no!" face. Thank goodness because I would have felt really, really weird if he actually wanted to.

It drives me bonkers when people talk about their 3-4 month old child and are like "he said THIS WORD THAT A 3-4 MONTH OLD REALLY CAN'T SAY EVER". 

I realize babies can make sounds that sound like a word, but they are not saying words so please stop, you are making yourself look ridiculous.

I agree with your sentiment, however your example doesn't pass the test.  Cameron is still just wearing a shirt with leggings.  That's not a dress, it's a long shirt.  If you need to wear leggings under your dress because your legs get cold, then just put on tights/pantyhose and look like an adult.

LOL. I guess I don't look like an adult today.

I neeeeeeeeed this to happen in my life. I am so excited, about santa claus. Although Grr is not the crying sort, so he will probably have a gay old time and not cry. Which will make me sad. Yes, I am amused by crying santa pictures.

It's so gross when people store their dollars and credit cards in their cleavage.  And even worse when you hand it to me.  This is becoming far too common a practice.  Stahp.  Please.

Two of my best friends do this with their phones. Skeeves me out.

Also, team leggings as pants. Sorry, not sorry.

My UO is that I'm over horror movies. It's all torture porn garbage these days. I don't understand how watching someone get their toes cut off with wire cutters is supposed to be entertainment. Grody dude.

So much this! I used to love a good horror but there seem to be less and less good ones coming out.

Nichole8787

oh you'll hate me. I wear leggings and...(dramatic pause)... uggs. All. The. Time. I leave my house at 5 a.m and nothing is more comfortable then the big comfy elephant feet and the stretchy goodness of leggings.

Ermmm I have to confess I've been sticking a Soothie under the shoulder strap of my nursing bra for emergencies. Since its out of the danger zone of encountering boob sweat, do I get a pass? It's wicked handy. Ftr nothing else gets in there besides a $20 bill I'd stick in my bra for cab fare in my clubbing days....so.long.ago.

I think new moms get a pass, because sometimes there's not enough hands to hold stuff with!  And the soothie goes to the baby, who's already acquainted with the boob zone, so that's not gross.

But it is pretty disgusting to be handed money that's been clinging to the sweaty boobs of an elderly lady.  No.  Just no!

BBColt78

Noooo! I love my sweater Uggs. Are you kidding me? These Chicago winters... They are a must!

Ekg688

I have uggs that my grandma gave to me 15 years ago before they were even a thing. I've only ever worn them as legitimate boots.

Where is this boob money happening to you?

I don't feel the need to take DD to get pictures with Santa. Hell, I'd love to not even start with Santa so that I don't have to worry about telling her someday that we lied for years and years blah blah blah. I'm feeling grinchy today apparently.

This was the least red-faced one we got last year too.  He was totally cool with the whole thing until we walked up to the big guy, then straight tears.

Oh I'm undecided on the believing in santa part. I'm not religious at all. So pretty much christmas is about food, snuggling w loved ones, etc. I think it will be "santa" w a wink and a nudge. Secular christmas is awesome. All the gifts, none of the guilt. ;-)

I'm a fan of Santa, but a bonus for us is that Santa doesn't wrap his presents in our house.  They just show up Christmas morning surrounding the appropriate kid's stocking so they know who's gifts are who's.  Less work for "mommy elf" with late night gift wrapping

We absolutely will not be doing the elf on a shelf, though.  That thing is just weird.
