UO Thursday!!
This discussion has been closed.
Re: UO Thursday!!
Mine did.
Slutty? Really? I don't see how babies can be slutty ever, no matter what they're wearing.
I guess my UO is that I think bikinis on babies are cute and I have one for my daughter. And when I put her in it, I highly doubt people (unless you are a pedophile or pervert) are going to think "OH what a little slut" because she is a BABY.
Sexualizing little babies for what they are wearing is SO stupid.
Ummm...no flak here...that is BS that it is different!!!
Same here. That's the policy... While on leave you use up your sick/vacation time and if you run out it becomes unpaid leave.
Yep...this is how it has been at a few place I have worked. Some, however, did allow you to choose if you wanted to use your paid time or take the entire leave unpaid.
Did you just use the word "slutty" to describe a baby?? Wow. I don't think the word "slutty" should ever be attached to anything regarding a baby.
Agreed about the tankinny's. Carter's have some cute one's on the website and I think I will order one because I can't find them in store and can't imagine changing her diaper in one. Baby steals had one pieces with snaps awhile ago, I'm kicking myself for not buying one.
Found a site that sells snap bathing suits:

I was thinking the same thing, I don't see how a baby could ever look slutty
This is what I was thinking. In away, by thinking it's so "inappropriate", you are sexualizing something that would otherwise not be seen as sexual. Kind of like breastfeeding and why people have a problem with NIP.
Do you mean people that wish to have twins so that it's all over in one shot? If so, LMAO. I was TOTALLY a twin wisher prior to having Martin and now I see the complete and total error in my ways. What an idiot I was to think that it wouldn't be exponentially more difficult to have twins than to have one.
It's funny, I actually would prefer a just topless baby girl to one in a triangle bikini top. I don't think they're a horrible thing, but I guess it just seems to me like little triangle bikini tops were designed to accentuate breasts, so those little tops are trying to make it look like they have little breasts or something. I don't have some big moral high ground issue with them, but it wouldn't be for me. But then, I wouldn't be comfortable with my 16 year in old in a teeny bikini either.
I do think there is a difference between these two though, and I'd consider putting Lexi in the second (though James prob wouldn't go for it!)
haha! I guess it may be a difference of wording then. I do think little two pieces like the second one are cute. I just don't like little string bikinis. But like I said, I don't like them on teenage girls either!
But, I agree that I don't like anyone saying that little girls look slutty.
Not saying the baby looks slutty. The suits with little fluffy triangles for tops is what looks trashy to me. A comparable suit on a teenager would look just as scank-tastic to me.
This is more along the lines of what I was trying to say. There is a huge difference between the two swimsuits. The yellow one looks inappropriate to me.
My UO is that I can not stand when people take their babies out with just a onesie, no socks, missing some sort of essential clothing. Just this morning I had to take DS to the Dr. because he is sick and this lady walks in with her daughter who is coughing in just a onesie. No bottoms, no socks, nothing but a onesie. It drives me crazy when people do that. Once I left it up to DH to get DS ready to go and went to the car, he put him in, and we got to the store and I realized he had no socks on. I swore everyone was looking at me and my barefoot child. LOL.
I'm just assuming that is a UO. :-)
That is what my boys live in weather permitting of course...when it is cool they footie PJs!!!!
And I just bought this dress:
Our office is pretty warm in the summer. They have the air set to the minimum they really can for energy conservation and all that... Throw in a few dozen computers, printers, laminators, etc. and it gets stifling. Plus, we are on a big hospital property, so we often end up walking 10 mins from wherever we find a parking spot in the parking garage or football fields away. Not pretty in hot and humid weather. I think sleeveless can be fine provided you don't pair it with cleavage or super-short too. The sleeveless blouse above with pants or a long enough skirt would be fine at our place.
Dup
Super late with this one, but after catching up on other recent posts I thought of one. I feel like it may have been said before though on here...
I think there are a lot of people out there that can now afford DSLR cameras who consider themselves to be "professional" photographers as a result. I think there are hobbiests who are very talented, but to me, a professional has more than just the camera and a licence for Photoshop.
It's fine to dislike it, but it's not "discrimination," at least not in any improper way. There is no reason why two different positions that have very different education and hours requirements should be expected to have the same pay or benefits.
To the original poster, I am surprised to hear that your firm pays attorneys for six months... Most of the large/prestigious law firms allow attorneys to take up to six months total, but in most cases three months are paid and three are unpaid. I've never heard of six months paid leave at a firm. I shudder to think how many hours those poor attorneys must be billing when NOT pregnant to make up for that cush maternity leave policy.
I have to take you to task for that "Especially when they come back pregnant again" comment, though. That's something I would expect to hear from a clueless man, not from a woman who recently had a baby. That really isn't helpful to women anywhere. Yes, there is a limited amount of time in which women are fertile and able to have babies. Women who have put off having babies to pursue higher education and get a job as a lawyer have an even shorter amount of time. Hopefully other folks at your firm appreciate that and cut them a little slack, realizing that investing in women and accommodating them during their child-bearing years will foster a lot of loyalty to the firm and help create a workplace where women can succeed and make it to the top, and not have to choose between work and family.
I'll get on my shoe soapbox again real quick here and say it's not so much that they inhibit them learning to walk at all, but from what I've read they do cause the foot to develop in a not-optimal way and can lead to foot, knee, hip, back, etc. problems down the road.
This is exactly my feeling on the subject! Same with those short ruffle mini-skirts that used to be popular- they were designed to show off butts and legs and look sexy, so I didn't like seeing them on little girls.
I don't mean any skirt with ruffles (same way I don't mind 2 pieced on little girls/babies, but don't like triangle tops). I mean like this:
It makes me think of something like this:
That makes sense. I think it's just me. Maybe it's because I was wearing those skirts to be sexy when I was younger! Plus, it's not so much on babies as it is on older kids but those who are still way too young to want to be provocative, if that makes sense. I don't think a skirt can really be mini on a baby, and it's only the short ruffle skirts that bug me. Again, though, I think it's my weird thing!
