UO - 6/15

GraceUponGrace09

What's your Unpopular Opinion this Thursday?

GraceUponGrace09

I love mini vans.

I feel like so many moms don't want to "lower" themselves to mini van status. I'm over here driving mine with pride. Lol.

Edited for words. 

tdevlindrye

I feel fat. I know I'm pregnant and I'm not supposed to worry about it, but I'm already to close the most I've ever weighed.

EmilyLove25

@caeilievalor I feel you! It's hard in the beginning too because you can't say it is baby... but we are just trying to survive the first trimester. It'll get better! 
@GraceUponGrace09 Seriously! They make some nice minivans and they are the BEST for family road trips!

I can't believe we have so few Unpopular Opinions or just busy mamas. 

I can't stand "happy anniversary" FB posts that are all mushy and discuss how the SO is the "best part of my life, my everything" etc. Honestly, I've probably done it too, but no one is that perfect. 

Ready4theParty

I dislike squash and zucchini.  For some reason this pregnancy the smell makes me gag...and it's the only thing so far doing so.

madcouplewithabox

@EmilyLove25 Oh I have a really unpopular one but I don't want to be shunned this early in the game lol 

I guess my tame one is that I think rompers are hideous and I've never seen a person actually look good in one. I feel the same way about crocs.

scatteringashes

@madcouplewithabox I had some knock off crocs in my first pregnancy and they saved my poor feet. They got roomy when I swelled up and made long days on my feet bearable (I worked at Subway at the time). Ugly as sin, definitely, but worth the shame. 

I think I've already covered watering lawns and my aggressive feminist agenda. 

Oh! I think 3D ultrasounds are an ugly waste of money. Everyone's baby looks like a lumpy monster. 

Also Father's (and Father's-to-be) Day gifts are tacky nonsense. (To be fair, I also think Mother's Day gifts are nonsense. It's a non-holiday that no longer shares the spirit it was created in. Just tell your parents you love them.)

This double UO brought to you by a third-trimester FTM on my Instagram feed, lol.

Cricket99

Mayonnaise is the devil's condiment. Don't let me catch it on my sandwich or burger! 

KatieEl

@EmilyLove25 couldn't agree with you more on those anniversary posts, barf. Even worse when the DH/BF (Bc it's always a dude!) isn't even on Facebook, girl he's not even gonna see it. Barf!

@scatteringashes I think 3D ultrasounds are so creepy!

My UO: I think fried chicken is gross.

[Deleted User]

@cricket99 mayo and mustard are my two least favorite condiments. Put them on anything and I'm out.

@madcouplewithabox now I'm curious!

In keeping with my food UOs because I can't think of anything right now, I love pineapple on pizza. I'll pick the Canadian bacon off a Hawaiian pizza and just eat the pineapple. 

bainidhedub

@madcouplewithabox don't hold out on us!

My UO is that they just shouldn't make vehicles so enormous they can't fit in a parking spot. 98% of people have no actual need for a 20 foot long gas guzzling monstrosity, they are driving it alone to work but taking up twice as much road space.

sbishop426

I think Birthday cards are a waste of money. I usually toss mine in the trash after about a week (maybe 2 to feel less guilty) because I just don't see the point in saving them for years. My MIL really likes them and always sends two cards, a funny one and a serious one. She is kind of a hoarder and probably buys a bunch in advance to have on hand. 

scatteringashes

@schaze A coworker recently told me that pineapple and jalapeno go great together on pizza, with the sweetness and spiciness. Which makes me want to try them together on something that's not a pizza, lol.

KatieEl

@schaze @scatteringashes can confirm jalapeños and pineapple on pizza is a bomb combo!

sbishop426

Jalapeños and pineapple on pizza- I gotta try this! That sounds delicious

scatteringashes

@KatieEl @schaze I just don't like sweet flavors on pizza. I'm all about salty and savory flavors there.

But, like. Chicken and pineapples and jalapenos sounds pretty rad.

KatieEl

@scatteringashes my husband makes shredded bbq chicken, and we use that with the jalapenos and pineapple and it's SO good!

scatteringashes

@KatieEl That sounds AWESOME. When the smell of BBQ sauce and I are friends again, I'm trying that.

missblaze

@scatteringashes @schaze @KatieEl @sbishop426 My favorite pizza is fiery Hawaiian! Ham, pineapple, bacon and jalapenos. Drizzle hot sauce. YUM.

KatieEl

@scatteringashes @schaze @sbishop426 @missblaze now I'm craving pizza and it's all your fault!

livingoffpbjs

going off @bainidhedub UO. I cant stand people that buy huge vehicles and dont know how to drive them or park them! Im 5'2" and drove a Dodge 3500 Dually and I could back that thing in anywhere! Dont buy one if you cant handle it. 

[Deleted User]

@missblaze where does one get fiery Hawaiian pizza? Asking for a friend.

missblaze

@schaze I know they make one at Domino's (I'm not a huge fan. I'm from New Haven, Connecticut where pizza is BOSS.) I usually order one special if I go somewhere. Most places usually have Hawaiian on the menu, and I ask them to add bacon and jalapenos. Hot sauce is hit or miss.

[Deleted User]

I may need to ask next time we're at Papa Murphy's! That sounds like something I need in my life.

scatteringashes

Y'all, I may cave and try this pizza with bacon and hot sauce and even the pineapple be ause it legitimately does sound really good.

EmilyLove25

@madcouplewithabox  I NEED to know your very UO lol! Agree re: rompers. Cute on babies… adults? It’s a no.

@bainidhedub and when a man is driving it, it SCREAMS “small penis!” to me. 

burnsmommy27

@livingoffpbjs yes! I was so annoyed trying to park at work this morning. This lady in a huge Yukon had to reverse 3 times to get in the spot. Annoying!!

JuliaGoolia719

@Cricket99 when I was little my mom used mayo as a hair conditioner, I *hated* it (the smell made me gaggy) and to this day if its just slathered on a sandwich or something I feel like I'm eating hair products!
@KatieEl I'm pretty much with you on that one, like 2x a year I crave it and other than that not with a 10 foot pole.
@madcouplewithabox you gotta spill now!
@sbishop426 DH and I have 1 card (thats not written on or anything) that we literally just pass back and forth lol
@EmilyLove25 especially if they have the balls hanging from the trailer hitch....

GraceUponGrace09

@EmilyLove25 Any kind of lovey-dovey message on social media always feels completely fake to me!
@madcouplewithabox We're all hear waiting for it... Also, crocs are sooo ugly!
@Cricket99 YES! I detest mayo. DH thinks I'm crazy that I scrape off every drop if it accidentally ends up on my sandwich.
And to all the jalapeno, pineapple Hawaiian combo folk: Sounds incredible!! I will be trying!  

cyanope

Ummmm...@madcouplewithabox, spill it!

Also, I need this pizza in my life too.

My UO: Like @scatteringashes, I consider myself a staunch feminist. But when I read a dirty romance novel...I like my men to be slightly domineering. Judge away. I like them in fictional stories, just not in real life...

mamakassie2

I think beer is gross and I don't like wine either. 

sbishop426

@mamakassie2 I think beer is gross too! My husband likes to try different beers and always wants me to try a sip and they are all gross.

ryannenikole

@mamakassie2 I hear ya on the beer. I do like moscato but that is where I draw the line on wine. 

My UO is that I don't think I want a baby shower (FTM). Partly because I don't love them and partly because we are in a small space that won't allow for a nursery anyway.

madcouplewithabox

Lol maybe next week:)

I LOVE pineapple and jalapeño on pizza! Mmmmmmm 

CANTW82BMOM

I think it's tacky to have a second baby shower.  There are however a couple of exceptions. 

scatteringashes

@cyanope Saaaame. /fist bump 

Though to verge slightly into TMI territory, I do like them in real life too. But there's a world of difference between sexy time domineering and the "I'm going to control every aspect of your life" alpha males in romance novels. Those latter guys in real life are the actual worst. 

ollydolly

EmilyLove25  YASSSSS! Those FB posts are generally from people who I know are secretly super unhappy. I hate those posts the most. 

trudytudy

@sbishop426 yes about hallmark cards! Why do they cost $4,$5,$6?!  And most of the time people just sign their name. Usually the recipient doesn't even read the preprinted message. Cards are such a scam and someone is laughing alllll the way to the bank! I do value a card if I want to write a message to someone but rarely do I buy them. 

@ryannenikole I hope you change your mind on the shower and at least as for diapers and clothes! You will get tons! 

@KatieEl do you not like fried chicken because of the bone? I don't like meat on a bone either. 

Maybe my UO is that I don't really like going to concerts anymore. I used to love it, and I love music in general. I'm just over concerts now.  Sigh what happened to me?! 

gusgus14

@trudytudy yes to concerts! I find them bearable if I can sit but if I have to stand I can guarantee I won't be staying the whole time. In fact we went to a concert a few weeks ago where I did get to sit and still only stayed for half even though it's an artist I love and I think puts on a good live show.

madcouplewithabox

I haven't been to a concert that I've loved in forever.... but I haven't found an artist that I love either. 

cyanope

Oh my goodness, YAAAASSSS to the concert thing, @trudytudy! I literally spent most of my teens and 20's at a concert. I have even gone to too many festivals to count (including Coachella on several occasions). Now, there better be seats, and it better be an artist/group that I LOVE. DH is still all about the concerts, and at this stage in life, I often offer to stay home with DD so he can go. It totally makes me look like an awesome wife, but I just really DON'T want to go to the concert.
