UO Thursday?
This discussion has been closed.
Re: UO Thursday?
I'm addicted, I tell ya.
OMG this times like x10000!! When Kings of Leon first came out, I wanted to throat punch everybody because they all over played them and kept saying "finally some good music!" ... seriously??! You think THAT is good music??
Along with puddle of mudd, 30 seconds to mars .. ugh I could go on.
Word.
I go to Wendy's at least once a week after Gymboree. It's a quick lunch pick-up when I swing by DH's work. I am not ashamed haha.
Mine is that I really don't like when people post links to stories/articles and say "This is horrible" or something along the lines of how tragic, sad, etc a story is. I understand when women share stories that have to do with themselves and come here for support. That is different and I am very willing to offer support and a shoulder in those situations. However, when it is a random story from AOL, Yahoo, or the like, I just think it is not cool to post such things on the board. I never really look, but hate to think of what might be in that story.
I agree. Really? You're calling babies ugly?
And I don't put my sons picture on here because I have no freaking clue who you are. The girls that I have gotten to know have seen my baby, but I don't need his picture all over TB. There are too many freaks out there.
Yeah, that's pretty low. That's definitely an UO to keep private.
We are trying to wait for Brady's study results as well.
I am fat. Fat, I say.
Honestly. That's an unpopular opinion for a reason- it's cruel and uncalled for.
Agree.
Along those same lines, I cannot stand it when someone posts about their sister's friend's baby dying of SIDS or something equally as horrible about a RANDOM stranger.
There is no need to tell a bunch of mom's about the horrible things that can happen. We don't need to know about what is going on with people that we don't know. You wouldn't share if it was something mundane or happy so why share horrible things?
While I am not trying to jump on your back, I agree that it is not polite to say this about babies. Or anyone. Did you ever think that people cannot help the way they look and that maybe they are beautiful in someone else's eyes? What if someone said that about your baby?
Also, some bumpies' pictures have been hijacked before. There are some sickos out there. Were you around for any of that? Maybe not, but I do not think it is odd that some bumpies do not post pictures of their LOs. It's a public message board.
Well, aren't you lovely.
And is it really that hard to figure out that some people might not want to be known IRL as a Bumpie?
While I'm fully aware that these things happen, and I grieve for these children and their familes, I completely agree. If it is happening to you, I 100% hope you come here for support, because we are here for you.
But when it is random, or someones friends sister or something, I just don't need it thrown in my face. I worry enough about these things already.

Done trying
I love the Beatles, but really I'm OK with others not liking them. I just wanted to throw some drama in.
I also love Dave Matthews Band, but I've tried to see them in concert 3 times and each time was a big huge FAIL. It had nothing to do with the band, just the people I went with.
I have another one.
I LOVE JERSEY SHORE!! I can't wait to watch it tonight, I actually get excited.
I kind of disagree with this, to an extent. My husbands uncle lost their 2 year old due to a piece of furniture tipping over on her. I have shared links before on furniture safety and strapping your furniture. While it didn't happen to me directly, it did impact our family. I didn't know about strapping furniture before this incident. If I can help save someone else the heartache of losing a child, I will certainly pass along the word. Sometimes there are things out there that you just don't think/know about. It's not that I was trying to throw it in someone's face.
I thought I was the only one.. haha! I think it is SO convenient, but I feel like I get those "she obviously didn't do much research" side-eyes from some moms because I don't have a bob or other cool stroller.
I'm pretty happy with my graco
Innneresting. Why do you think this?
I don't put pictures of the girls in my siggy because sometimes I open my own threads or look at my own posts to stare at Colin and sigh a little bit.
My UOs:
I think Scott Brown's story reeks of bullshits. I have a huge problem with someone saying they were molested as a child and not telling anyone but their book publisher.
I don't like manis or pedis. I hate it when people touch my feet and no matter what solution the nail people use, my cuticles and the skin around my fingernails always ends up peeling and it looks horrible.
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.
I hate chocolate and wine. Give me a beer over wine any day.
Oh, and I think CIO is cruel and never appropriate, but I don't care what you do with your child, I just think there are better ways.
I think that is different. Spreading information is one thing. A lot of people wouldn't know about strapping furniture (me included). And I wasn't thinking of you when I wrote that.
I also don't think I worded that correctly when I said "thrown in my face". I didn't mean it to sound as harshly as it did. It just wears on you when you read about accidents with babies. I am constantly worrying about things, so I just feel like it adds something else for me to be concerned with.
So glad I'm not alone, I HATE Dave Matthews Band
I saw Puddle of Mudd at a Chili cookoff a few years ago, holy smokes he has a hot bod in person. I don't think photos do him any justice!
I see something like furniture strapping as a learning opportunity. Just like the post a few weeks ago about fire ladders. Because those are easy things we can do to make our homes and families safer.
However, telling me about a tragic car accident that killed a child, a SIDS death, or another tragedy that is not preventable isn't doing anyone any good. It just causes more worry.
And before anyone turns this into a SIDS argument, I am well aware that you can LIMIT the risk of SIDS ? but it is not preventable.
Phew! I didn't think there was anyone else on here wanting more yet. DH and I aren't TTC nor TTA. But with EBF, I doubt it will happen anytime soon.
You shut your mouth!!
People judge you bc of this? I am going to go out on a limb here and say that perhaps they just wish they could do the same. ::hugs:: I think what you are doing is great.
Thanks for wording this a lot better than I was able to. Clearly the lack of sleep is taking it's toll on my thought process.
FYI - You can still get pregnant while EBF. There are plenty of ladies who end up with 2u2 because they weren't using any kind of birth control and thought that they couldn't get pregnant while EBF.

Definitely look up strapping your furniture. Here's an example: https://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=205&cmSource=CrossSell&relatedProductId=458756 For less than $10.00 you could save your child's life.
I know this wasn't directed towards me, but there is an exception to every "rule", ya know? I do agree that just posting a link about a sad story from a newspaper can be a bit overwhelming. I, too, am a worrier.
I was actually a little bummed when I pureed Violet's second food. Butternut squashes are huge! It yielded THREE trays. Thankfully she likes it. I did not think of this at all when I started baking it.
That stinks that Kate doesn't do well with fruits, but I am glad you posted this because I feel a little lost about introducing new foods.
Don't hold your breath. You'll probably be forced to join someday, anyway.
People that call other people's children ugly are rude. Oh, that's not a UO.
Jarred baby food is wasteful and ridiculous.
ADD / ADHD are far too overdiagnosed these days and probably don't even really exist anyway. At least, not as the pathology people seem to think it is.
This was my mindset as well and to be honest, I just enjoy making it. We start off with small batches (or just make stuff fresh) until I know that she likes it. I have read that buying sugar free, organic apple sauce in a jar is A LOT cheaper than making your own, just an FYI.
I agree and you articulated it so well LCB.
My UO...I LOVE Dave Matthews Band. I have seen them 18 times. However, I completely understand how some people can say they do not like them. You either love them or hate them, and I am OK with that.
