My FFFC is that I guess I don't know how to feel about having a preemie. People keep asking me how I am and looking at me like they're waiting for me to break down. I'm confused. Most of the time I want to smack them.
My boy is wonderful. Just needs to grow. people confuse me.
Ok. Here's a real fffc: I hate when people compare the act of finding out their kid is a different sex to actual loss. It pisses me off.
Sure, they have every right to say they are "mourning the loss of the boy/girl" they thought they were having. But it is not the same as loss. Not even close. I want to tell them to stfu. But I can't because that would be rude.
@MamaBish I don't think I would see it so much as a loss, more like being Catfished. Or like getting on a plane thinking you are going to France (with your English-to-French dictionary, plans to see the Eiffel Tower, etc), but landing in Hawaii with no bathing suits. Both vacations sound totally awesome, but are nowhere near the same experience, and are bound to make most people step off the plane thinking 'Whuuuuuut the fuuuuuck?!' and having a brief moment of panic.
FFFC: I've never opened the Names thread. I feel like names are a personal decision and I think reading everyone's opinions on everyone else's names would annoy me. And I didn't want the yellow notification staring me in the face every time someone posted. I'm a bad person for not wanting to participate but I'm confident you all will love the names you end up with.
Wait does this actually bother people? There are plenty of threads I have opened once and never gone back. The yellows don't phase me.
Do you also hate having any unread emails? I know it's an overdone FFFC but I have loads of unread messages (that I know aren't important just by skimming them) and don't care.
@mandyjulie You've just described my nightmare. I only leave an email unread if I NEED to come back to it later to address it. Otherwise it's trashed or filed. And I get both personal and work email on my phone lol.

You are me. I cannot stand notifications of any sort. I will open my emails and leave them for later but I NEED them opened! Red bubble icons are my personal hell.
Must agree with PPS, hate notifications with the fire of a million suns. I removed the Pinterest app from my home screens because that notification bubble kills me.
I am also in the must make notifications go away camp. I accidentally opened the bachlorette thread once (I don't watch the show) and now I have to open it just to make it go away
