UO: Thursday

Edited to add my UO: I dislike the phrase, "Everything happens for a reason." I used to say it so I understand it and used to believe it, but I do think things just happen. Sh!t sometimes happens and it isn't something you can explain and it doesn't necessarily mean something great will come out of it as a result. I feel that people started saying this to make themselves feel better.

I actually have a tattoo on my side that says "omnia causa fiunt". It's latin for everything happens for a reason. I always hated the saying when I was younger but after getting out of an abusive relationship and meeting my husband I began to live by it. Then when we had our m/c I started to cling to those words again. It may be corny but it helps my heart to think that negative things can become great things.

My UO (or maybe it isn't so UO?) is that I HATE these UO threads. This is the first and last time I'll post in one. I feel like they start shiit and stir up unnecessary drama. Just like the "Flame Free Friday" post on TTGP. It's all bullshiit. I just don't see the point of them. I like that this board has been relatively drama free. A nice change from TTGP might I add and I really hope it doesn't turn into the same kind of bullshiit board like TTGP lately. Everyone somewhere down the line will have an UO but do we need to discuss it? No. I'm sure we can find better things to talk about that aren't going to create tension. And for those of you who say "don't read it if you don't like it", the drama doesn't just stop in this post. People get hate on's for eachother as a result of things said and then the snark carries into other posts and it gets fugly. I don't want that for this board. If this UO thread never reappeared on this board I would be damn happy.

And I'm done.

That is wonderful you have a tattoo with that saying! I just don't agree that there is this tit for tat tally sheet in the world. Having something horrible happen doesn't mean it happened for something wonderful. But I don't knock people for believing that, I just personally dislike the saying.

Actually until this week we had some pretty great UO discussions. Fun And if someone didnt like it, they kept it to themselves. The sensitive Sallys have made their way into June, which was to be expected I guess. This week has brought crap out of the woodwork for some reason. I've noticed an increase in drama this week, which I tend to avoid but I'm also not in the mood to let people piss on something they didn't understand to begin with. So I guess time will tell if the drama continues, my bet is we can spot a pattern in the culprits. Zeeee end! :P

On a similar note, not telling people wont reduce your chances either. If you wouldnt want to tell them the bad news, then dont tell them the good news. But there is no reason to wait to tell your family or parents, that's just odd.
On a different note, I dont like adult halloween. There is no need to spend $ on a dumb costume for an excuse to hang out with friends. Lets just hang out anyway, without all the fuss. Don't get me wrong, it will be different with kids or dressing up when neighbor kids come over....but just as an adult party....i really dont get it!
You actually think that people don't tell because they think it will prevent miscarriage? Maybe people don't tell because they would like to deal with the riskiest part of pregnancy privately before sharing either good or bad news.
I personally think it's a bit odd to announce your pregnancy to the world 5 minutes after you POAS, but to each his own.
Clearly you didnt read the posts prior to mine. I was continuing with that line of thinking, not creating it myself. Go back and reread. When it was said that some people get u/s bc they think it will prevent it was dumb and I added so is not telling people as a way to avoid it. What happens, happens regardless of whether you tell people or get u/s.

No, I read it just fine. That's why I asked you if you really believe that people don't tell because they think it will prevent miscarriage?

I have never heard one person here or IRL say they are not telling because it will prevent miscarriage.

I hate to hear people say that they're not doing this or that because they don't want to jinx it. What's meant to be will be.

Hey this is the unpopular opinion board...we're not supposed to agree. I'm in no way offended. Just putting in my 2 cents

Wanna know my main b!tch today?... People crying over being tired. These girls who are all "OMG I'm so tired that I had to take two naps today, poor me" are killing me.

I am a night shift nurse (a beat down to your system already) who is working extra 12 hour shifts to save even more money for baby. I am on my SEVENTH shift in a row. I AM TIRED. I don't think if you are able to take two naps a day, you should complain about being tired.

I'm sick of hearing about how so&so needed an extra nap today. I don't get naps. I work 90 hours a week. Okay, that's it!! LOL!!
