Let's hear those Unpopular Opinions!

KirstinH88

I HATE umbrellas. Why can't people just use their hoods? I especially hate it when people buy MASSIVELY OVERSIZED umbrellas that take up the whole sidewalk and could fit a family of 10 underneath it!

haha, thats me!  We have a golf umbrella that I use whenever it rains.

My unpop opinion is Kendra Scott.  I owe a pair only b/c my mom bought them for me.   I think the jewels look like something Wilma Flinstone would wear.  Just sayin.

This is Us seems like a boring show.  So did Parenthood.  I haven't watched much of either though.  I think they're both overhyped

I hate Vera Bradley merchandise.  I just don't get the appeal.  They look like something a homeless person would carry around because it can double as a pillow or if filled with rocks, an inconspicuous weapon. My MIL is all about them and I just don't get it.  I have to fight the urge of slapping it off her shoulder and punting it into a nearby body of water.

@super_sam03 My mom loves Vera Bradley too.  And my sister has a big VB weekend tote.  They both asked if I wanted one.  How about no.  Not my style.

My UO is that I love to grocery shop.  It's my favorite chore to do.  I love making a list of things we need for the week and calmly walking around and checking things off. (I am not a fan of the nights where you have to run to the store to get the ONE thing you are missing though).

@wagnerw I like to grocery shop too, as long as I'm alone. If I bring DD those mini "shopper in training" carts make her instantly lose her mind and ability to listen.

I also love to grocery shop *alone*

HGRich

I hate grocery shopping alone or with anyone. Y'all are crazy.   

My UO is eyebrows. Why has it become so important in the last five years to have bold, fleeked eyebrows? Who has time for that? And mine are so unruly and already five shades darker than my head hair that I just want to slap some gel on them to get them to stay still and do nothing else. Can I please just let all the hair on my body do whatever it wants without censure? 

KirstinH88

@HGRich I have never waxed, pluck, shaved etc my eyebrows. They aren't crazy, but they aren't perfect. Their a little off. But that's one of the reasons why I don't get them waxed because I don't want them overly "done" (if that makes sense). I'm fairly low maintenance and just can't spend that kind of time or money on my eyebrows.

HappyAnjel

Ugh the eyebrow trends are the worst. I'll pluck a random hair if it grows way off from the rest of the brow.. but when girls draw massive dark eyebrows or leave like two hairs it just looks ridiculous and unnatural. Leave them be!

@KirstinH88 I totally agree... I am from Seattle and we always assumed everyone with an umbrella was a tourist haha

@HGRich I also hate grocery shopping. And making grocery lists for the week. I dread it.

My UO is that I would much rather be pregnant in the summer than winter, now that I have experienced both. Summer maternity clothes are so much more cuter, I am more active because I can be outside more, I love just being able to slip on sandals with swollen feet, etc. Being pregnant in the winter sucks. 

KirstinH88

@rachelmiller03 agreed!!!!! 

blessedinmt

@rachelmiller03 I concur.  It's -9 this morning. Snow & ice have covered the ground for over a month. I don't feel safe even walking the dog (she pulls) and therefore I've been stuck inside and it's just depressing.  I'd much rather be overheated but enjoying my normal walks and hikes, not to mention some vitamin D!

@thecavfamily @rachelmiller03 If I lived in a cold weather state I would totally agree with this.  Living in the South however, I've been told by countless women that April is pretty much the perfect time to have a baby because you don't want to spend the bulk of your pregnancy when it's 100 degrees outside with 100% humidity!  Hope you ladies get a (relative - as in enough to melt the ice!) "warm" stretch soon.

blessedinmt

@schef070911 Yeah, I conveniently forgot my summers in Oklahoma, Missouri, and Texas. In a northern state, however, I would absolutely prefer being largely pregnant in the summer. 

HGRich

I would still rather be pregnant in the summer with 100 degrees and 100 humidity. I'm so bloody cold natured that 90 degrees out is near ideal to me. Even with the Missouri humidity.  I HATE the cold, and also my peacoat's lowest button won't button anymore. But I will say it will be nice to have her in spring when there's more sunshine to help out with possible PPD. 

cafedisco

Grocery stores make my eyeballs twitch. I just don't do them. 

My UO this week is that I'm sick of birth choice bashing. It's more of a rant...my midwives have a private Facebook for clients and this week there was a long post and tons of people hopped on bashing women who birth at hospitals or birth centers even. I was not having it. 

mrsstuessy

My UO is a spin off on the winter pregnancy thing. I think April is just about the worst time to have a baby. DD1 was born in late September and it was great. Right about the time she was born I could start wearing sweaters and sweatshirts and staying inside for days on end. I am dreading being 2 months postpartum during shorts and tank top season. I do NOT loose weight until I start nursing less around 6 months. I can work out and do all the stuff, but my hormones do not allow me to loose weight until breastfeeding lessens a bit. Also, sitting inside binge watching TV is really the only thing I want to be doing for the first 3 months of my child's life. If the weather is nice out I am going to feel like I have to be outside. Ugh! I just honestly hate the summer, and that is really my UO. 

Nolegirl1185

My UO is this whole pointy nail trend.  How can it possibly be functional?  They look like witch nails and every time I see a girl/woman with them I feel like it screams "I'm a bitch".  Not sure why lol.  I just hate them. 

HappyAnjel

How does one wipe with those daggers??

KirstinH88

@Nolegirl1185 yes! DH's ex wears her nails like that all the time. With the bobbles and the thingies all decorated on them. I don't get it. Like @HappyAnjel said, how do you wipe? How do you clean? How do you do any kind of work? And yes, totally screams "I'm a bitch." But of course it may just be the person that I know wearing them 

Virginialeigh

I have a nail art obsession but I can't even with those damn stiletto nails!
