Re: UO Thursday 3/23

  • My UO I don't think the beetles are all that great. They do have good songs but they aren't that good of a band.

  • @wyomama0427 I so agree with you! I have friends who have become amateur photographers, and some of them are really good...most aren't. And when I was looking for inexpensive wedding photographers, I found some truly awful photographers trying to sell themselves for $1000. No, just go home. I got my wedding pictures done by a high school student for $750, who now has done over a dozen weddings and her price has over doubled. Some people can train themselves, some people can't.

  • @mrsmarygs oh I agree. And I'm not saying my sister just picked up a camera and was brilliant, but these momtographers I'm seeing aren't even trying to get better. They do couple photos and weddings and butcher them! Terribly! And then they offer to do other people's weddings! And another thing, all of my sisters friends expect her to do photos for them for free. Sorry but that's not how that works. She does mine for free but I gave her a nephew to photograph lol! And I'm always promoting her business. The few times she's done free shoots, she hasn't even gotten a thank you. I'm really excited for her to take these photos of nicu babies tho.

    @amandarene112 I've been guilty of naked belly bump pictures... :( 
    I still love you :kissing_heart: 

    The occasional one isn't my favorite, but whatever. And ones that you take for you and your family/inner circle don't bother me at all. But we've known people who every week like clockwork post a naked belly picture on Facebook(and not always with clothes on, like sometimes you can tell their in their bra or whatever, and it's a public FB post!), and it's just too much to me. 

    ETA: I am aware that this might be an unpopular opinion, and that lots of people may disagree with me. I'm ok with that, it won't hurt my feelings. 


  • @amandarene112 I solemnly swear to never share another naked belly bump photo! I can only imagine how many of my friends have thought it was annoying lol. 
  • Oh and just to clarify I'm not naked lol just the belly. That would be insanely weird
  • @amandarene112 100% agree. I also hate the pictures with the dad kneeling and kissing the belly. It looks like he's kissing her whoha. Not necessary.

    @BookitBoo is that an UO? If it is, I don't want to be popular.




  • @CSL522 where in FL are you? There's a handful of FL mommas here, but it's a spread out state. I'm in the Pensacola region.
  • @lap018 I completely agree about the sexed up bump photos. There's this lady on my Facebook that is constantly posting pics of herself in a lacy g string and bra and her belly. I feel like it's worse than the nakey ones. 
  • @labby18 I'm 5 mins from the Florida Georgia line. We are about 4 hours away from each other 
  • @CSL522

    I'll definitely still be rocking my bikini in the summer :) 
  • @kelseyrayay I go to JAX all the time, my mom's family lives there! So hey girrrl heyyy lol. 

    @CSL522 I think there are some Orlando and other Central mommas on here somewhere. :) 

  • @CSL522 Oh, I will definitely be rocking a bikini all summer long as well. 

    And I totally wear leggings as pants, but only if they're a thick fabric. I have a maternity legging that's technically a yoga legging, and I wear them all the time. This could have to do with where I live though. San Diego is basically a giant beach town, so as long as your panties aren't showing, wear what you want. 


  • @Becky012016 agreed! My dad offered to watch DS regularly when I went back to work. He babysits as needed or picks him up from daycare if I'm going to be late but I want him to have a fun grandpa relationship not a caregiver relationship. Luckily we can afford for DS to be in a centre full-time. Others may not have the option and I totally get that

  • @amandarene112  Omg I also hate those kinds of photos!  I just hate "maternity" photos in general.  I feel like no matter how "beautiful" pregnancy is (or is supposed to be) I don't care to see anyone's professional photos, naked or fully clothed, anywhere.  Sure, show me a casual picture of your bump but I DGAF to see your maternity shoot and tell you how beautiful you are when you are with-child.  <end rant>.

  • I don't think Grandparents should watch grandkids more than 1 day a week as a day care provider.  If you want to work or have to work, put your kid in a real day care/hire a nanny/in home day care.  They already raised their kids. They don't need to raise their kids' kids too. 
    But this implies that the part-time care giver, not the parent, is raising the child. I know a lot of working moms who take issue with that sentiment. 
    My statement comes from more that there's structure at a non-family related provider/place vs hanging at grandma and grandpas every day. Grandparents are supposed to be fun. They're supposed to bend mom and dad's rules. If grandparents do that every day or even just most days of the week, kids (in my personal experience, not a blanket experience) don't follow directions or rules as well as their counterpart cohort. It undermines the parents' parenting whereas a non family provider listens to and enforces the parents' rules. Again, just my personal experience. 
  • Also a central Florida momma here! :)

    Regarding this, my grandmother watches my son daily while my husband and I work. We pay her and she wants to watch him. (She lived in NY while my sister and I were younger so she didn't get to see us often). She would actually be sad if we put him in a different daycare.
  • amandarene112 said: See, I am definitely getting some maternity photos done. I'll probably only post one publicly, but it took us over 4 years to get pregnant, and I'm absolutely commemorating this one time my body actually worked with some nice, professional photos. Maybe that makes me an AW, but this is one time I don't care. 
    Understood.  Different strokes for different folks.
