I'll start. My UO is that I do not enjoy picking out baby names. There is so much pressure and I fear that I will pick a name my kid will hate, or that he will get made fun of for, or that will set him up for failure.
I don't like "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. I got 2 copies as gifts for DS. It starts out fine but takes a super creepy turn, especially with the pictures.
ETA: pictures, not photos. Photos of an old lady crawling into her grown son's window would be even weirder

Oh my gosh my husband and I think this too! We never read it to our son, but we have two because they were gifts! Like this book must have been what mother in law thought having a grown son would be like, explains her behavior anyways!
There is a really sad story behind " I love you forever" look away trigger warning
the author Robert Munsch and his wife struggled for years with infertility, his wife did eventually conceive after years of trying but she suffered a miscarriage. Writing "I love you forever" was how Robert dealt with his grief.
I don't like any hot sauce. I'm from the Midwest, where our idea of adding spice to things is putting garlic powder in it.
My UO: I think the faces on almost all baby products are creepy. Can you imagine your eyes focusing for the first time on some of these oddly colored, bug-eyed animals they put on so many play mats and baby quilts? It would be terrifying. Deep seated fears and phobias that seem inexplicable later in life probably start with some of the horrifying characters we put in front of our babies when they have no way to process what the f that thing is.

--stuck in box--
this is why I am really not even thinking about names. It's way on the bottom of my list right now. Especially having to name two... fuhgeddaboudit
DH is obsessed with any kind of hot sauce. I am not even joking. If I could post a picture you would see he has at least 20 different bottles of hot sauce.
I am so over essential oils. I think that if it works for you that's awesome, but I personally think they are a waste of money. I dislike how people try and get you to buy them... leave me alone. In our home I believe in Clorox, Lysol, and anything else that can knock the crap out of bacteria and viruses!
@klcarr19 My mom keeps trying to get me to use essential oils (frequently as a replacement for vaccines). I actually don't mind them, but her constant insistence that I need them makes me have no interest in using them ever.
@bridge-and-wall maybe that's why it's got me irritated... that and how there is a major side eye given to me like "omg you use CHEMICALS?" Like yes, I'm not judging the fact you don't use them to clean your home.
@klcarr19 I'm in a local Facebook group and it feels like half the posts are about essential oils. I'm so over reading about them! I'm sure they are fine and all, but they aren't magic and some of them can be harmful in certain situations. Stop posting about them!

This makes me roll my eyes so hard. EOs ARE chemicals. Nearly everything is a chemical. What they mean are toxins, and even that isn't properly defined. #science.

I'm over them, too. And everything else that people keep trying to tell me... Rodan and Fields skin care, ugh!!!

Yes! EVERYTHING! Just stop... I just moved several states away from home, still have two houses to pay for, and I have a kid on the way with a toddler already... sorry I don't have 50.00 for a miracle face cream... I like my wrinkles when I have major RBF from reading your obsessive posting...
Also, if I did have $50.00, I'd probably go get a pedicure and let my face go. I've already got the man. No need to be impressive looking now

Exactly. I work with 4 people closely on a daily basis... 3 of them are Rodan and Fields consultants. It makes me want to scream. I really do love all of them, but the number of times I've said "I'm sure it does work, but I have no skin complaints" is getting ridiculous.
I also have always been totally weirded out by "Love You Forever". People always make fun of me. I'm not crazy!

I actually use and like Rodan and Fields. But I don't need 50 people reaching out to me to ask if I want to try it out. Your 97 daily posts on FB let me know (REGULARLY) that you sell the stuff. If I want it, I will reach out to you.
My favorite is the Beach Body consultants who prey on new mothers asking if they need help "losing the baby weight". I will have some choice words for anyone who reaches out to me after this baby is born. After DD, I was a bit too timid to really say what I wanted to say, but if anyone does it to me again this time, I will let them know my thoughts.

I feel like the best reply to the baby weight comment would be "What baby weight?" Because you've simultaneously let them know you're comfortable with yourself, but also made them look like an asshole for insinuating you're fat all while making it incredibly uncomfortable. Lol
I'm kinda liking how huge and round my bump is getting. I know it's the norm to like want to stay cute and small and manageable but I'm kinda digging the basketball look. Lol.

Mine: Sriracha is completely over rated.

I also don't like cooked carrots.
(But I do demand to have regular mayo with everything else.)
