1. I don't like Pooh Bear. I think he's annoying as hell and I refuse to have any Pooh Bear stuff in my kids nursery.

2. I will probably watch the Kate + 8 (with special guest star, Sarah Palin!) special because of the LOLz factor.

3. I hate pregnancy hormones.

ETA:

4. That loss post yesterday freaked me out. Every time I went to the bathroom yesterday I was terrified I'd see goo on the TP that wasn't normal.

5. When I see people post what they've eaten that day and they're like "OMG! I'm a cow! I've eaten so much food today.", I usually look at what they've eaten and I'm like, "Wow. That's not much food. No wonder they're so hungry."

This has been one of my FFC too before. It's so overly used, I don't care how special the books were to you as a child, the nursery won't be for your little one.

1. All the horror stories about leaking fluid have me so freaked out that anytime I have discharge that is more than usual or even the least bit watery - I am a sniffing fool.

2. I may or may not eat the entire box of Swiss Cake Rolls I bought.

Me too! It's freaking me out!

I called my mw yesterday because I was having really really bad cramping for an hour. I went in and everything is fine, just bad RLP. Anyway, I didn't tell you guys.

So glad everything was fine!

I dislike everything my MIL has made for Brady. She keeps making bibs, burp clothes, and little things here and there. I don't know if it's just my dislike of her but I really don't think anything she has made is really cute.

thank god my MIL could not make something if she tried!

Consider yourself lucky!

I had to go to L & D last night. While I was laying in the room strapped to everything, my thoughts were directed to the two screaming ladies in labor. The hospital is beautiful, private rooms,etc. but not sound proof. It scared the bejesus out of me. It got me in panic mode!!!

Everything with LO okay?

Thanks for asking, LO is doing great! My BPPV (vertigo) is acting up again and my white blood count was high.

I judge people who have baby showers so boring that husbands wouldn't want to be there. If that is the case, most of the women probably think it sucks too.

My shower is a brunch... with liquor. Just becaue I am pregnant doesn't mean everyone else doesn't want a bloody mary, or 5. Big Smile

We have red hair on both sides of the family - but predominately mine (my sister, all of my nephews, my grandfather, etc).

Part of me wants Kate to be a red head.

The other part of me is wishing for brown hair b/c my FIL will think she has red hair simply b/c he does and that it is all him. It is all he talks about baby wise - how HIS baby is going to have red hair and how he will be disappointed if I don?t give him a red head. Um, she's not your baby and no, you won't be the only reason she has red hair (if she even does). And, FU. I?m not giving you a baby. Much less a baby that you think you will be more entitled to simply b/c of hair color.

The cuteness of a red head is totally squashed by my annoying FIL.

Cause if you don't, I'm turning them into dish rags....

Dish rags, it is!

Venus - I didn't even like Pooh Bear when I was little. I liked Kanga, Roo and Eeyore. That's it. I think they should have a bedding set inspired by "The Pokey Little Puppy". That was my favorite.

I hate when people act like owning a home and getting a mortgage is a right that they are entitled to.

I agree 100%. DH and I earned our home. I hate all forms of entitlement. So many people today think they "deserve" or are "entitled" to discounts, luxury items, etc. Work hard, they you deserve it. My in-laws are on welfare (BY CHOICE) and they b*tch about not being able to afford a flatscreen... really? Get a freakin job!!

She hasn't posted a pic in the last week-I don't think- I stopped opening her post because they are usually pictures..

I think I know who you're talking about. She also posts pics of her her 1st pregnancy vs. her 2nd one?

I don't want my LO calling my DD "sissy". I can't stand it, and some people are already referring to her as the "big sissy". It really makes my skin crawl.

Ugh, I agree with you completely on that. I hate people referring to LO as "Baby Kathryn". I don't know why, but it bugs the mess out of me. I understand that she is a baby. That's a given... but her name is KATHRYN, not Baby.

I have another one which is pretty flameful. I hate the fact that my Aunt's won't do anything for me. In my family its tradition that the Aunt's throw a shower. They gave my sister a beautiful baby shower last year, and nothing for my wedding shower. Now that I am pregnant, I know they won't be throwing a shower for me, and it makes me sad. Yes I know, I shouldn't feel this way, and I shouldn't worry about having a shower or not, I would just like for once someone to throw something for me out of the goodness of their own heart, and not have my mom have to throw me one because no one else did.

But why wont they if its tradition? This would hurt my feelings too!

BallSox · July 2010

I think there are some women that get waaay too involved in things like the shower. If someone doesn't know you well enough to know what you want, why are they throwing you a shower?

To me, a shower is nothing more than a gift and it's rude to dictate a gift. For the same reason, I really don't like registries. The only reason I've made one is because I've been told by no less than 20 people that they have no clue what I've already gotten and don't want to get me the same thing. I feel selfish registering for something that I could find cheaper on amazon or with a coupon or at a garage sale. If I wouldn't pay x amount for something, why should I tell someone else it's what I want?

I have been losing my cool with my parents as well... and DH whole family... just not to their face. I CANNOT STAND how all over me they are... in person and on the phone. Now I am lucky I ahve great in-laws but the second they heard I was KU, all sense of privacy and personal space went out the window! UGH... no i do not want to discuss the following with my MIL:
discharge

nipples

stretch marks

breast feeding (and what to do if your nipples are dry)

my vagina in general

bowel movements

these just name a few

OH and NO i will not share my name list with you! And stop trying to trick my DH into telling you when I am not around... you were told no... try to deal

ok... i am done

My MIL does the same thing. I'd like to make a plaque or a t-shirt that says this! Seriously, MIL, this is none of your darn business!

I hear you. I don't think that's flameful.

S/O houses- I would get so angry when all the blame was being thrown around when the market crashed. Banks shoudl know better vs. People shoudl know better.

BOTH should. Sorry if you need to take a crazy weird loan to own a house ... wait until your credit is better or you have more money. Don't complain later that you were "screwed". And IMO the banks got THEMSELVES into this mess so bailouts ticked me off.

All of that tanked our home value so we can't re-finance now. Thanks!

I think people share way too much personal info on these boards. While it makes for great entertainment, I feel bad they don't know what shouldn't be shared. I also think they are portraying themselves as trash.

I totally agree. It will and usually does come back to bite them in the a** later on. I also can't wait to see who will start going BSC this time around. That is always fun.

Mrs.Johns · July 2010

Along the lines of the house thing.... If I hear your parents either 1. paid your down payment or 2. helped with the down payment I am immediately NOT impressed by your home purchase. Immediately. I don't care if it's a freaking castle with a cherry on top. In my eyes a home is something that you should work hard for and taking money for a down payment is pretty pathetic. Even if my parents offered it to me I don't think I could have accepted it because that would take away from the fact that we did it all by ourselves.

I judge people who do not like dogs for no apparent reason. If teh person had a negative experience I can respect that but those who just generally don't like them are a little suspect to me.

I also do not like when people come into my house and try to tell me how my dogs should not do this or that. My dogs are very well trained
(they slip up here and there) and I am a very overly responsible pet owner. Please do not try to tell me how to "raise" my dogs. They live here... you don't... if you do not like them you are welcome to use the door

I hate when people act like owning a home and getting a mortgage is a right that they are entitled to.

A few days ago there was a post with a link to an article concerning a couple who was turned down for a mortgage "because she was pregnant". If you read the details, they were turned down because she was not going to be working anymore and they did not qualify for the mortgage based on the husband's income alone. Of course you'll be turned down - and you should thank the bank for that - because you can't afford it!! All the focus was on that the pregnancy was the direct cause of the decline.. which it obviously wasn't.

This drives me nuts.

Or what about the lady who thought stores should let her use their private restrooms just because she's pregnant? Uhhh.... Does she want to pay their insurance premiums?

She's an adult and knows she has to pee all the time. She should plan her trips accordingly.

However, I do think it's stupid if maternity stores or baby stores don't have a restroom. Hello? Your target audience has to pee ALL the time.

Was that REALLY what I said? No it wasn't. I asked if they had to, that was all. I didn't say that I was entitled. Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

And like I said previously I did go to the bathroom before I left, but ya know what? I had to go again 10 minutes later. I know it's shocking.

(1) I hate the smell of Johnson & Johnson baby products and will not use them on my child. I hate it even more when adults use baby products for themselves. When a grown woman passes me on the street, and she smells like baby lotion or baby oil, I want to vomit.
(2) I hate when people lick their fingers to turn pages or count money. This is disgusting and I don't understand it.

Ugh that grosses me out so much! I work at a grocery store and when I happen to be on a register it seems I always get stuck with someone who is sick but doesn't care to cover their mouth or licks their fingers and gets their money out to hand it to me. As soon as they're gone, I sanitize EVERYTHING. My old boss caught mono from counting money in the back office because he wasn't thinking and accidently licked his fingers instead of using the sticky pad thing for counting it.

I agree with this to an extent. If a couple is looking to mom and dad to put forth the money then yes I agree.

However, I got a pretty big scholarship to college - my parents also had a full college fund ready and waiting. Since I earned my scholarship, my college money was then treated like a trust that I was entitled to at the age of 21. We used it for part of our down payment.

I don't feel like I didn't earn that money - b/c I did. I worked my ass off to get scholarships (and keep them) and the reward was having money post-graduation for something other than my education. It allowed us to buy a home, that we could afford, much sooner.
