I'm team no naked pics on fb. I have a cousin who no one would have probably ever suspected to be a perve, but he was recently arrested for child porn. You just never know who's looking at what!
I don't care AT ALL when people breastfeed in public but the ones who clearly want the attention drive me insane. The ones with all the fb posts and all that mess.
I'm not sure this is UO but it felt like it when I was at a family gathering with DH recently.
It was a party at someone's house. A group of us were standing in the living room talking and eating hors doeurves. This woman (who was related to the host) comes in with her baby, lays out a diaper pad and started changing her kid's diaper in the middle of the living room. No one but me seemed annoyed that she didn't just do this in one of the other unoccupied rooms in the house.
Later, the same woman comes back in the living room and sits in the corner to breastfeed. She turns off the light while we were still sitting there talking. So everyone clears out to another room.
I think you should be able to breastfeed in public or obviously in a relative's home but expecting everyone to clear out is rude. And the diaper change in the middle of a room where people were gathered just seemed disgusting.
Yeah, @twinkidoll sounds like that chick is probably an AW who thinks the world revolves around her and should cater to her. The sitting in a corner part didn't bug me so much as the turning the light off part.
@Twinkiedoll Yeah, that's just gross. Everyone else goes to a bathroom to do their business, it shouldn't be any different cause it's a baby or diaper. Poop/pee is gross. No one wants to be around that. Also, I'm a weirdo and still get nervous changing a diaper in front of people. I feel like they're judging my skills , so I always leave the room. Also the breastfeeding thing is weird. I breastfeed wherever, but I don't adjust the room to my liking or expect everyone to leave so I can stay.
@CarsonsMommy exactly! I have no problem with her breastfeeding in the room. I don't even think she had to sit in a corner. She could have sat anywhere on the couches and joined in the conversation, if she so desired. It was the passive aggressive turning off of the lights that pissed me off.
@Dcwtada On massages: I have coverage for massages under DH's benefits so I take full advantage of that. Although when you go regularly you realize it's actually really beneficial and less of a pampering thing. I'm currently hoarding all my coverage for when I get bigger and baby is putting more pressure on me. But... if we didn't have the coverage I wouldn't pay for it out of pocket.
My UO is that bassinets are so worth it. I like the delta bassinets because they run larger than your standard bassinet. However, sheets can be hard to find to fit the pad, but it is not hard to make your own. DS was in his until around 9ish months old.
