And go...

Re: UO Thursday
My child is forward facing and I had to make it that way. Not by choice, but he's a big boy and I have a small car and there was NO WAY he could stay rear facing any longer.
That being said, it's not something I wanted to do but I had to do, so when I see all these "WHY YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR CHILD REAR FACING FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE" posts it really makes me cringe with guilt.

This is more of a FFFC.
My UO: Justin Timberlake is kind of ugly.
ETA: just_peachy, your DS is A-freakin-dorable in that dapper lil outfit!
I think the movie "The Hangover" was the dumbest movie I've ever seen.
He's too boyish for me so I've never thought he was attractive. But he is hilarious on the SNL skits.
It was as dumb as Knocked Up.
And Superbad.
Take it back!
My UO: I think working moms have it easier than SAHMs. Not that either of our "jobs" are easy at all...but still.
thanks for the compliment!
I'm one of the rare people on the planet that thinks GLEE is dumb. So is the movie GREASE and HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.

Agreed. Glee makes me cringe.
I have no clue if this is unpopular or not but, the whole new "security" measures that airports implemented are just lip service to make the general public feel "safe". I'm actually surprised that there hasn't been more hoopla surrounding it. But.. of course, that's just my opinion:)
Oh, and the movie Grown-ups is stupid:)
YES!!! I totally agree with this one!!
DH said the same thing to me the other night when trying to read one. At least in the book we have, the words are just made up words just to make the sentences rhyme.
Could you read one with a fox? How about while wearing socks under rocks with Goldilocks?
I like ones that twinkle. I'm not a fan of random bushes vanishing and reappearing.
Where the hell did the lights go? Ooh there they are! Oh dangit. lol
Meh. I've been both and to be honest, I was depressed when I was working. Too much to cram into one day. I felt like I was rushing from one thing to another, trying to get errands done during lunch because I didn't want to waste time with ds by dragging him to the grocery store. I felt like I had hardly any time with him after work.
I'm much happier at home, even though, it's still a pretty hard gig. But I can do more things at a much more relaxed pace. And I feel like I have more quality time with ds. That said, I will be going back part time next month, so I hope it's a good balance.
I don't like the whole modern version of Santa Claus. I think it's weird to lie to your kids. I don't understand how saying he brought gifts is part of the "magic" of the holidays. Isn't it "magic" and wonderful enough to out a tree in your living room, hang lights on it, decorate your house, get together with your family, eat good food, have off from school and get lots of presents (regardless of where they come from) and celebrate a really happy religious happening (which happened in a different time of year, but whatever, we don't need another spring holiday), sing carols, etc, etc? That's not good enough, the holiday hinges on some guy coming down the chimney to leave presents?
I think it just sets the holiday up for a disappointmen and unecessary drama when someone spills the beans in a schoolyard or parents get sad because the magic is gone for their kids.
I don't know what we're going to do about it. I definitely don't want to make a big deal to DD about there not being a Santa Claus, but I feel really uncomfortable building him up.
For reasons I can't explain, I don't have the same feelings about the Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy.
Agreed. It's sort of sickening.
I hate the standard Christmas Brag Letter that some people send out in their Christmas cards.
Aaaaaand.....please don't hate me.....(ducks under desk), really don't like the photo cards that are sent out. I look at them for a total of 20 seconds, ooo, aaaa over them and then they go in the trash. I don't know what else I can do with them? Save them? No I don't think so....I would have tons of these things lying around if I did.
Let me know when it's safe to come out of hiding.
Thanks.

ONYD MG! Not this again.
Brat.
I don't have much to say other than the pic. of your little guy wins... .I'm not sure what it wins, but it definitely wins!
btw: I do the same thing with photocards as I do with regular christmas cards: hang them up until after the holidays and then toss them. Or, if it's a wedding/baby/etc. photocard, put it on my fridge for a short period of time and then toss it. But, no matter how I look at it - it's getting tossed!

I like Suess books! And I like the made up words part. I think it encourages creativity and silliness
Why do you think this?
This is exactly how I feel. This argument has too many factors. How many kids someone has, the personalities of said kids, the nature of the job, and on and on. I get to see DD for 2 hours a day on work days (work f/t). It blows. I spend most of my week dealing with tantrums and threats of people with bipolar and schizophrenia. I"ll take a clingy teething toddler any day. But, I also like doing 'mom' things and I like housework, so I'd kill to have that gig. Not that it isn't work too, but it's more the work I'm cut out for.
OMG! ME TOO!!!
This may be the nicest UO thread I've ever read, but since I'm a douche, I'm going to shake it up.
1) Glee and Grease are awesome. Even Grease part 2 with Michelle Pfeiffer.
2) I love Dr. Suess. Educational, nah, but some kids books should just be silly and fun. They don't all have to have educational value.
3) Photocards rock my socks, even if I only keep them up through a week or so after Christmas.
4) I love any and all Christmas Lights, the tackier the better. Blink, flash, twinkle, whatever.
5) I agree that JT is not all that attractive, but other than that, I have just read this whole thread in crushed disbelief.
6) I hate that sarcasm is not easily read through message boards.
edit *I also thought Hangover, Superbad, and Knocked Up were funny. I might have even laughed at Elf and Old School*
Oh I love creativity and silliness, but those books make me tongue tied and crabby.
This made me lol.
I actually like the Black Eye's Peas' "Time of my Life"
Ugh, Superbad was NOT that funny. The Hangover was funny, but only because of Zach Galifianakis. It was definitely overrated.
lol fair enough
I love Dr. Seuss, but I just wanted to point out that they do lend themselves to education. Rhyming is extremely important to language/verbal development/skills.
Oh, and I really liked Hangover, Superbad and Knocked Up as well.
LMAO!
I hate easter and the whole idea of the easter bunny...always have and I don't think I am going to tell my kids that the eater bunny is coming to bring them candy...we will have a nice dinner and maybe hunt for some candy filled eggs but no easter bunny crap in my house...
we will however continue the charade of santa claus for as long as possible...
