(I'm exaggerating, but I myself honestly cannot do it.)

LMAO. As usual, I agree with you. Using the "too" example from today... just... couldn't... reply.

Haha, both accountants, both crafty, our brains work/think the same...if I didn't know any better I'd just think you were my AE and I was talking to myself.

I had to quit quoting you on other things and saying how I agree with your comments so much because it was getting suspicious... Stick out tongue

I hate popular/common names. I mean most of them are very likable - which I guess is why every other person seems to use them - but I just hate that. This may seem extreme to you all, but honestly I won't even consider a name if it's on the Social Security Top 100 list. And to pick a name from the Top Ten list from anywhere? What are you doing? (This is probably all because my first name is Ashley and has been so ridiculously overused my whole life. I mean to offend no one. This is just my unpopular opinion.)

My unpopular opinion is... ::drumroll please::... if a child is old enough to ask if he can poop in his pull-up, he's too old to be pooping in his pull up. I was in the waiting room at my doctor's yesterday and a kid asks "Mom, can I poop in my pull up?" and she replies "I'd rather you go to the bathroom" but makes no move to get up and take him there. He proceeds to take a dump in the waiting room, complete with full on grunting and saying "I'm pooping. It stinks!" Also, 25 minutes is way too long to let a room full of pregnant patients smell your child's sh!t. Isn't there some sort of etiquite rule on the amount of time acceptable to NOT change your child's poopy diaper in public? Especially in as close quarters as a waiting room.

Yes, I was completely judgy. No, I know nothing about the trials and tribulations associated with potty training a boy.

Apparently, this is not an unpopular opinion.

I went to DS's "tumbling" class (aka kids running around like maniacs) and other kids kept bumping into me driving me nuts. Running over my feet with the carts. DS, on the other hand, well, the sun rises and sets with him;)

And my name is not Lacey either.

Disturbing. My old boss used to tell me he knew it was time to potty train his son when he was changing his diaper and the kid said "Dad, you missed a spot"

Yes, it is the new one.

I think the only part that is may be valuable is the reviews on furniture. I never realized there were that many different manufacturers and what type of wood to get, etc. But the other stuff? Most of it I had already read about on here (car seats, pack n plays) or by reading the reviews on Amazon.

I just don't get this. Isn't it easier to take your kid to the bathroom than changing a diaper? At least that's what I would rather do. People are odd.

In public or not, that's disgusting. 25 minutes is way too long to make a child sit in his/her own poo. I'm admittedly kinda lazy, but I have 2 little boys and I have never done that. (We got back from vacation about a month ago, and I just finished cleaning out my suitcase today. See? Lazy. But not when it comes to my babies and their health.)

mrsmikey:
OK, I have one. (I'm a flip flop lover btw, but I don't complain so that makes it ok right?)
I realize this is a sensitive subject, but I hate it when people say NT scans (and other prenatal screenings) have a high rate of false positives. They are NOT positive/negative tests. They only give you odds. There is nothing diagnostic about them. So then people say, "I tested postitive for DS on my NT scan". I realize that's incredibly scary and I do pray for them, but they did not test positive. Their numbers came back at a higher risk. I guess the fact that you have to go back for additional testing is what makes those numbers "positive", but it's still incorrect.
I just wish people better understood the testing before they choose to have it done or not. Everytime it's discussed and someone says "I'm not doing it b/c of the high rate of false positives" I just want to smack them through the screen.

Ditto x1000000. People say, oh so and so got a positive test and then their baby was totally fine. Well of course, the odds were like 1 in 100 there would be a problem, so of course they could turn out to be fine, even 1 in 10 is more likely ok than not.

(we had a 1 in 50 odds for DS and the amnio came back clear and im not at all insulted by this post

This is going to sound horrible, but I'm not a big fan of other people's kids. I LOVE my niece and I know I'm going to LOVE my own child...but my friend's kids kind of annoy me. I know it's horrible and I would never ever tell my friends that their kids annoy me.

I could have written this myself. That makes 2 of us, so maybe not as unpopular as you thought!

Is your name Lacey too? Maybe there is a correlation between feeling this way and having the name Lacey!

mollybloom · March 2011

I am also fiercely pro-choice. Fiercely.

My UO is that a lot of parents today are not good parents. They forget that the first rule of parenting is that you should be a parent and not a friend. I teach 99 kids everyday and it is so annoying when you call home to tell a parent that their little darling kicked another kid in the face and the next day the child comes in with new Coach sneakers because the "mean" teacher called home.

At least my DH and I know how not to be as parents because we both see so many horrible parents as teachers.

Adam-n-Emily · March 2011

JenniferAnnes:

Ok I thought of something...I judge parents who don't keep their houses clean and blame their messy house on being "too busy" with the kids. I have one friend who has a 2 1/2 year old and their living room is constantly covered with toys, to the point where you can't even see the floor. I would go crazy living like this b/c I'm pretty organized for the most part, but I don't think it's right to teach your kid to live like that too. I feel like by 2 1/2 you should be teaching your kid to put away their toys when they're done playing with them. I understand that there will be toys out, but there doesn't need to be a million toys all over the floor at one time. The kid can't play with that many all at once anyways.

AMEN! My brother's house is like this... You can't even walk through the living room, den, hallway... let alone sit on the couch. It always looks like a bomb went off. Plus, my SIL is a SAHM!! I understand that she is busy, but come on... I am too organized/OCD for this. I just try not to go over there anymore.

Pina · March 2011

Don't want to get attacked for this and I preface, I am going to BF and I do believe in it 100%........

BUT I find it disgusting when a walking, talking toddler goes over to their mother and asks to be breast fed. There is something gross about it to me. If they can ask for the boob, or worse yet, they unbutton mom's shirt and help themselves, its time to stop.

Amanda&EricB · March 2011

I have to reply to a few UO before I post my own. First, on the flip-flop issue... I am going to be so sad this summer when I'm out to *here* with baby and my most favorite footwear ever turn on me and make me hurt. That will be a sad day.

Second, I was a nanny for many years. I loved every minute of it. But as I've gotten a little older, I have realized that I no longer like other people's children. One of my best friends has an 11 month old and as much as I love that child, I really don't like hanging out with them. Same goes for other people I know with children. This may have to do with the fact that I get irritated in a hurry at how lazy parents are nowadays with discipline.

Ok, my UO... I don't like how it is such a big deal to throw your own baby shower. People WANT to give you gifts. They tend to give you gifts anyhow, whether you have an organized gathering or not. The reason I have come to this conclusion is, my good friend (same one with 11 month old) wants to throw my baby shower. She threw my wedding shower and it was fabulous- it was at a park by the lake, fun games, etc. However, she wants to do the baby shower at her "new" house, which is actually a foreclosed, dilipidated house. I don't really care what it looks like- I go over there all the time and hang out, help her with stuff, etc. But there is a HUGE spot in the floor from the living room to the dining room (which you have to walk through to get to any other part of the house) and I'm deathly afraid of my (or my DH's) 80 year old Grandma tripping and falling on it. Or any of the other weird spots on the floor. And the bathroom is completely unfinished and they are in no hurry to finish it- her DH is more concerned with other projects. So the toilet is broken and you have flush it with the chain in the tank, and the walls are just drywall (no mud or tape even), and the sink doesn't work so you have to wash your hands in the kitchen. Now I realize this could all be done by the time the shower rolls around but it scares me.

Whew. Sorry that was so long.

I'm pro-choice as well AND I voted for Obama. Shhh, don't tell my deep south, Republican, pro-life, Bible-beating family.

My UO: I have a deep & abiding hatred for all things pink ribbon-related, particularly Susan G. Komen. When my mom was dying of breast cancer, all that pink shiit just really started pissing me off. And since learning how much (or how little) of the proceeds raised by Komen actually go to research of the type of breast cancer that my mom had, I literally feel like hurling a can of applesauce or a box of cereal that has pink splashed all over it across the grocery store. I feel like the pink ribbon has become more of a fashion statement or a trend than something that promotes any kind of constructive action.

DD and I are home all day, our house is bound to be messier than the house of someone who isn't. My house is by no means dirty or any where near as extreme as what you are describing, but it is cluttered with toys and there are days when DD pulls out everything at once. I let her because she's exploring. We'll clean it up later.

memali26 · March 2011

And I totally wore flip flops right up to delivery day with my daughter and will again. I had back pain no matter what kind of shoes I wore, and my feet were hideously swollen. Flip flops were all I could get on some days, and I'm betting it will be a million times worse in the summer heat, so I will be barefoot or in flip flops.

womancake · March 2011

To NatKay--that story was disgusting, and you were totally right to judge. I read it out loud to DH though, and he cracked up pretty good at the kid grunting and saying, "I'm pooping. It stinks!"

To the pro-choicers--I am very pro-life (not necessarily for religious reasons), but I'm sorry to those of you who have been mistreated by others or feel that you have to hide your opinions. I don't agree with it, but I understand why a lot of people are pro-choice, and it's not because you hate babies and want them all killed, contrary to much of the propaganda out there. I think you're still awesome ladies.

To those who find it disgusting for a toddler to ask to breastfeed--why? I guess I could see why you'd find it inappropriate. I don't think it is, but I get how someone could see it that way. But what makes it disgusting? Not attacking--just trying to understand why you're fine with breastfeeding, but seem to think that it becomes gross at some point.

I agree with you 1000% on the pink ribbon. I also love when they slap it on products that are linked to cancer (certain foods, chemicals in beauty products, etc.). Slacktivism at its worst. I haven't personally known anyone with breast cancer, but it seriously pisses me off as well. It allows companies to profit off of cancer, basically. It's disgusting.

Yeah I thought about DD that comment, but decided against it. I am just being way over-sensitive about one poster who once I re-read wasn't even that bad! Sorry!!!

I'm pretty sure that's me you are talking about ...

I don't think you are wrong for being annoyed, she IS doing annoying things. I was just saying more of a big picture life lesson of not letting stuff like that get you worked up. You can't control her and I'm a big believer of not letting stuff you can't control upset you. Take a deep breath in, slowly blow it out, remind yourself that you are a mature woman who would not behave that way, and then let it go.

That's all. I wasn't being rude or anything, I just think there's a need to get your blood pressure up over an immature girl that you have zero control over.

LOL honestly, i just think the comment about us concentrating on getting a car got my panties in a bunch. If we wanted to get a car, we would, and in fact plan on it when LO gets here for emergencies. I just felt all judged because I don't have a vehicle...

You can't control her and I'm a big believer of not letting stuff you can't control upset you. Take a deep breath in, slowly blow it out, remind yourself that you are a mature woman who would not behave that way, and then let it go.

That's all. I wasn't being rude or anything, I just think there's a need to get your blood pressure up over an immature girl that you have zero control over.

LOL honestly, i just think the comment about us concentrating on getting a car got my panties in a bunch. If we wanted to get a car, we would, and in fact plan on it when LO gets here for emergencies. I just felt all judged because I don't have a vehicle...

I may be stirring things up a bit, but I saw that same poster suggest to an 18 year old yesterday that they should have an abortion because they will have to go on welfare when the baby arrives. Not everyone on here will offer good advice. Ignore judgemental people. Notice how that one person had something negative and everyone else supported you.

Womancake: Maybe disgusting was a harsh word, but when I see say a five year old standing next to their mom and unbuttoning her shirt to get a drink while she carries on a conversation with a friend, there is something disturbing about that scene.... I don't why exactly why, but it doesn't sit right. I am not not saying its gross for a one or two year old, but like 4-5 years old.... I don't know.

I judge people who have bad teeth, esp. people with really good jobs and expensive hobbies, yet they don't invest a dime into their teeth.

My parents barely got by in life, but they made sure that we got braces if we needed them. I desperately needed them, had to wear them for 3 years, and still use retainers to make sure my teeth never open back up into a huge ugly gap.
