I remember now! I dont like American horror story It touches on really creepy stories and I am just too emotionally pregnant to deal with them without freaking out
I haven't watched it, but I get where you're coming from!
I bought Targets version of a Snoogle after my SIL swore it was a life saver. I tried it last night and absolutely hated it! I ended up switching it out for my body pillow in the middle of the night. I find the body pillow is much more comfy for me.
I'm totally happy to and even enjoy telling overbearing family and "in-laws" (we aren't married so what the heck is an easy term for these people??) to stuff it. Want to come see the baby when she's born? And stay with us? Nope try again in March. Think you're going to be in the delivery room? Not if you haven't already seen the goods. Want to buy me some death trap crib on craigslist? Not gonna happen, I won't use it. I don't try to be mean but man it's our kid coming out my hooha, we're in charge.
I'm just not here for trolling. Some of the trolls are amusing, but then there are the constant ones who repeat themselves over and over on particular threads. Get your rocks off some other way. Being mean and ignorant towards pregnant women asking questions is gross.
Oh and the whole strollers with the car seat being snapped in the snack tray, facing you thing. It definitely weirds me out. Looks can and are totally deceiving, but those always make me worried that it's not safe and just stacked like that. I'm also a paranoid, ftm, weirdo right now so please pay me no mind on this.
I'm so happy that this is up already this morning, because I wanted to complain about something I saw on MSNBC and I didn't want to post on Facebook.
My UO, I hate when people complain about "Millennials". As a borderline-ish Millennial, I find it incredibly offensive and stereotypical.
According to Facebook Millennials became adults in the early 2000's (I was 16) this means that both my husband (34) and myself (31) are part of this generation.
According to the news we are selfish, entitled and narcissistic. They talk about "us" like we are the worst generation to ever be born. First of all, I know way more baby boomers and Gen X who are more entitled then us Millennials. Second of all... If we are all those bad things, we were raised by this so called "better" generation.
Grrrrrrr..... I'm sorry if this makes no sense.
In better news, Time Magazine pretty much said we will be better parents, raising strong, independent, but kind and open children!!
@stephaniearthurs yes! I have been saying the same thing!! We're more on the tail end of being "in betweeners" with generations (I'm 31 too). I think most people say millennials are in their mid 20s now. But I'm constantly asking people why they aren't blaming helicopter parents for this!
I'm not a fan of home renovations.. Of course the finish product will be great, but the process not so much. First time home owners and renovating both bathrooms.. The worst! Hopefully both will be done this weekend.. >:D<
My UO: most of the time I think people's DIY projects look terrible, chintzy and cheesy. Unless you are SUPER talented, artsy and creative...stick to buying that thing off etsy or wherever. Sorry!!
I actually look forward to going back to work after baby is born. Not right away, I obviously need some recovery time and will want to snuggle my little prince for days on end. But, I have learned from my extended unemployment that I am not cut out to stay at home. I need to work to keep my sanity, and I love my job and the people I work with. So like I said, I look forward to returning to work after I have my baby.

My mom's house hasn't had a ceiling since I was in third grade, just tarps laid over rafters. I'm with you on hating home renovations.
My UO: I can't watch crime shows anymore. Or drama...or anything that is suspenseful. I have horrible vivid dreams if I do. It's probably just a phase, but it is way too stressful for me! I will stick to sitcoms and rom-coms for the time being

I watch kids shows and even some of those I can't handle. I'm normall a very rational person but lately I get involved in the story and get super emotional. Even Big Bang Theory, we've been reaching old episodes so I know what will happen, but I keep crying at stuff in it.

@stephaniearthurs Funny you mentioned this. My husband is 33 and I am 32 and we always seem to be discussing this topic. What you are saying totally bothers me too! I have always argued with my husband that I don't fit the mold for either Millennials or Gen-Xers. While I share some common themes from both, I never quite felt like I fit with one. I came across an article while back that discusses those of us born in the late 70s and early 80s and how we are lumped into the Millennials, but actually shouldn't be because of when our formative years were as children. It's called The Oregon Trail Generation. I found it very interesting and thought you would enjoy. The link is below!

Speaking of showers, it is pretty common here to have a corsage for wedding and baby showers. I think it's a stupid waste of money and they get in the way. My mom dropped off some things for my shower the other day and one thing was the corsage complete with fake flowers and 2 sets of baby booties along with ribbons and sparkles. I'm dreading it. Is this a common thing by anyone else?

It used to be but not sure it's in fashion anymore.
At my baby shower I wore a pin that said mommy to be! I didn't have anything special at my wedding shower, but I threw a tea party wedding shower for my cousin a few years ago and my aunt made the bride and wedding party fascinators to wear!
@stephaniearthurs Thank you for sharing this article! I'm 33 so I fall into the Oregon Trail Generation. It's a really interesting article and makes so much sense. I've always struggled to relate to millenials even though I'm supposed to be one.

So maybe it's just my weird town and area. It's so obnoxious you guys! I tried to talk them out of ordering one and it clearly didn't help. I know it'd be super rude and selfish but part of me wants to say it's not here and then hide it under something in my mom's house so she thinks it just dropped somewhere weird.
@stephaniearthurs that is really interesting, I am a true millennial, my husband at 5 years older is in the Oregon Trail group (I'm also the oldest in my family and he's the baby in his) anyway I really notice the age difference the most when we upgrade cell phones
To give credit where credit's due @rockinmathchic posted the article originally! But seriously, I like having a place to fit!! It drives me nuts that older generations seem to hate younger ones.... Who haven't even had the chance to screw the world up yet!!
Also, these news casters were like, but they still take 100's of selfies. But honestly who the F**k cares as long as they don't infringe on your rights!! How on earth does it hurt!

Please don't judge my lame family, haha.
Haha my hometown must be weird as well. I've never attended a shower where the mom to be didn't have some type of corsage, pin, sash, heck even crowns! I'm secretly excited for my pin though. It is huge and burlap. Don't judge me. :-\"
@blessedwtwins apparently one of my shower hosts strongly pushed for a corsage, but the others shut her down. I would have felt so awkward. If you don't want to wear it, can you blame being allergic to the flowers w pregnancy congestion? Or just be honest. Or your wrist hurts or you don't want to smash it on accident while opening gifts. You asked them not to get you one and they didn't listen, so I feel like you made your intent not to wear one clear. You could display it by taping/glueing it onto a framed picture in such a way that it can no longer be worn on your wrist or via a pin. Edited for words.

@blessedwtwins are you in the south? I am in Texas and I see these things everywhere. But then again, we also have homecoming mums
That picture is great! And it's homecoming season right now, so they are everywhere! I'm in Texas and have never seen a corsage for any type of shower.
@redfallon I see them in H.E.B and the larger Krogers all year round. @taysun that is what we call a homecoming mum. It's a giant plastic flower weighted down with ribbons and plastic toys and tons of bells. Supposed to be school team spirit and noisemakers for the football games.
It's like a huge corsage that you wear on your shoulder. You start with a "mum" or Chrysanthemum flower and hang ribbons from it with words stuck on some and smaller ribbons with little cowbells and things hanging from it.

I guess it's never been something that my family/friends do for baby showers.
My UO comes from waiting tables for a few years: most restaurant high chairs are not made to be turned up side down for infant carriers, they aren't stable upside down. Many carseats will actually attach to a highchair right side up. Seeing this happen rather frequently makes me anxious.
I think a lot of the Millenial hubbub is the typical "those damn kids" feelings every generation has had around generations that are younger. The only difference is that vices and trends have changed. The Millenials' selfie was gen x's baggy jeans or grunge music. Young people are just more susceptible to following the pack.
Also, I'm 32 and I don't relate to Millenials, but when I was fresh out of college, I know I was a nightmare in my first professional job -- but I attribute that to youth more than my generation. There are just a lot more Millenials in the workforce know, so the media thinks it's ok to make sweeping allegations about a whole generation.

I enjoyed that article!! I will be sharing that with others!
Maybe I haven't seen any bad DIY projects, but I'm going to have to disagree. I refuse to buy something that costs $90 when I could make it myself for a fraction of the cost.
