Re: Unpopular Opinions
No!! I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it!
I'm with you there. DH has an iPhone through work (he didn't necessarily have to get one of those), and I told him to just be warned that I will judge him. He's only had it one month and it's already driving him crazy. I laugh when he has problems with it. I know it's wrong, but I can't help it!
It was a pretty good read-- I think the friend that rec'd it to me kind of set high expectations-- make sure you finish out the other two though, worth it
they're posthumous works though, weird!
This. Sponges are disgusting and we don't even have them in the house. Gross. I use a wash rag in the kitchen and it gets replaced every 3 days with a clean one. I love the ones that are knitted (or crocheted?)...I buy them on eBay
Exactly! Agree on all others, but this is my guilty pleasure.
I judge anyone who says their child is a taco or a hot dog or any other strange descriptive word for a vagina or a penis. Ladies, you will either be having a boy or a girl. These words are not hard to type or say...use them.
As far as c-sections go I really don't care what anyone does in terms of their labor and delivery, but I definitely give a side eye to anyone who chooses a c/s which is not deemed medically necessary. I think it's a cop-out and almost feel bad that someone is that scared to experience childbirth!
I am so sick of the same questions every day on the board (registries, when anatomy scan is, diapers, etc). I know it's because I've been here a while and all the new to 2nd tri girls have all the same questions we had. But can't we scroll down ladies and read yesterdays posts. You are sure to find the answers.
I don't understand the fear of a med-free birth.
I hate when people say to me about having a baby, "get ready for your life to change" or "get your sleep while you can!"
Oh really? Gee, thanks. Because I thought that I would just bring this baby home and everything would be the same. You are telling me that I have to change it's diaper? I can't leave it home alone? And that they don't sleep through the night? Wow, news to me!
100% agree with both of the bolded ones!
Ditto
It's official...I live under a rock. He is a hawtie!
Him
Although he is vamped up in this one. Just google him and you will see how gorgeous he is!
ETA: Sorry, I see lissasue beat me to it!
I agree. Although, I don't care how anyone else has their baby. So please don't judge me for how I want mine.
This...and I want her husband...he's gorgeous
HAHAHA... Team Vagina... Team Three Lines... or Team My-child-grew-labia-and-the-female-orifice-complete-with-ovaries!
LOL! I get the entertainment value but I do not understand why people get obsessive over these things. (This coming from someone who actually went to a Harry Potter book release party- my excuse was that I was invited and my friend promised to pay for my book if I went).
PS- I have a "banned" list of things students are not allowed to talk about or refer to in my classroom- Jersey Shore and fist pumps was moved to #1 on that list!
THIS! If for some reason you feel uncomfortable using the term vagina or penis, just say boy or girl!
Not a marriage name that is hyphenated story but this is annoying as well.
My friend had a baby and there was a HUGE custody battle well...the little boy's name has TWO hyphenations names in it....
His first name is hyphenated because it's each name they wanted and then his last name is hyphenated as well. It looks so tacky IMO. I feel bad for the kid.
I never said I judged those who don't have med-free births, I just said I don't understand the fear.
I don't think it is always fear. I just think it is a lack of desire.
I want an epi b/c I know that I will be calmer and have a better birthing experience. However, I realize that some women will have a better experience without an epi.
It has absolutely nothing to do with fear for me.
This is the reason I judge Twihards:
And they have Twilight dildos that not only sparkle but can be frozen.
Seriously. It's obvious Jacob's hotter. Literally and figuratively.
Not that I care about Twilight. Or the movies. That I've watched a bunch of times.
Unable to even.

You don't understand the appeal of Benedict Cumberbatch / think he's fug / don't know who he is? WATCH SHERLOCK. Until you do, your negative opinion of him will not be taken seriously.
And that makes complete sense to me...I just don't understand when women are like, OMG, it's gonna hurt! No crap!...it's gonna hurt irregardless. Childbirth is painful.
That made me LOL. Fabulous. I think I am going to have to remember that one...
I agree with the following items:
- Scarlett Johansen comment. Fug, but incredible rack. I'm totally jealous of them, but I'd prefer keeping my own face, thanks. Same goes for Angelina Jolie--icky and skanky to me!
- Whiny pregnant women annoy me and give us all a bad name--especially the ones who take the liberty of acting like asssholes and then blaming it on hormones.
Mine:
- I
people who tell everyone they're going to try to go med-free, but make zero effort to prepare themselves for it. You would not hop off of your couch and try to run a marathon, would you?
- There are some seriously stupid bump taboos. But that's another story for another day.
Nu Uh!!! brb heading over to google!!
I hate this solely based on the fact that I am getting crap for sleep right now. I'm excited as hell for this baby to come (for the obvious reasons), and also because I can get my body back, be able to sleep comfortably and feel like I am doing a better job of taking care of her and myself.
Sorry! I didn't mean you. I meant EVERYONE besides my husband in my life. Sorry, I see how it looked like I meant you. I was just making a statement.
Agreed!
It isn't fear for a lot of people. But it is fear for others. My SIL and her friend for example. They are scared sh!tless of ANY pain and are walking in and getting an epi. Which is fine, I don't judge, I just don't get it.
No problem! I just wanted to clarify, and I completely understand your statement, because I get A LOT of
looks when I say I had my daughter med-free and I plan on doing it again. People think I'm nuts.
I get this completely, because this was my SIL, she wanted one as soon as possible...she wanted to feel nothing. And her and my MIL thought and still think I'm nuts for having and planning another med-free birth. They say, "why not just get the drugs so you don't feel anything?"
Agree.
