UOs??

I think AP is fabulous and I do alot of AP stuff and love the bonding. Maybe Im not understanding, but Ive seen quite a few posts like "how do you have sex and bedshare!?" "What do you do with LO while you cook??" "My baby hates being worn!" I totally get being sad about not babywearing if you planned to, but seriously- it doesnt have to be full throttle AP at all times. It doesnt void your AP card to leave baby in the swing to get busy.
Also the facebook group makes me think of this commercial

Re: UOs??
While I'm totally grateful and incredibly lucky that DS sleeps 7 to 9 hours straight at night, we go days without him taking a nap during the day. He is so tired and miserable but he fights napping. Everyone keeps saying that it doesn't matter if he sleeps during the day if he STTN but he is so miserable when he doesn't nap. I'd rather wake up multiple times every night and have a happy napping baby than what we're doing now!
Hahahahaha! Hilarious and true!
My UO is the fb group is now the bullies!
Yes! I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that! And the commercial is spot on!!!!
My u/o: I think realtors are scum of the earth. Ok, I may be exaggerating a small bit.
I hate it when the elderly have better technology than me.
Ha! Or how about little kids? My 8 year old has an iPad. I'm a bit jealous!
ETA 8 year old NEICE. I don't have an 8 year old. Bump mobile is annoying.
My UO is that it really bothers me when women use feminism as an excuse to be lazy about themselves and their relationships. I'm all for gender equality, I have educated myself, and I want to raise my children to be open to any of their interests regardless of gender expectations, but I've talked to way too many women who put minimal effort into their appearances because they "shouldn't need to", and who expect their husbands to initiate all the affection in their relationships. I haven't been married long, but even before DH and I got married, I always tried to tidy myself up before he got home, and I made sure that the first 5-10 minutes of him being home were about him and his day at work.
That's not to say that men shouldn't put work into themselves and their relationships. I think it should be equal. But I have often found that when I'm not happy with my relationship with DH, I get more affection from him if I initiate it and wait for him to catch up, rather than complaining to him what I think he needs to do better.
Haha, I thought these were supposed to be UNpopular opinions, but I'm finding myself agreeing with most of you.
We have our LO in a PnP next to the bed since I'm too attached to my blankets to bed-share, but there have been times when, in the middle of getting-it-on, I've had to reach over and jiggle the PnP to get him back to sleep. Luckily, we both have the sense of humor for it and are then able to continue our activities.
We've been checking out some open houses recently, and, mostly yes on the real estate agents being an interesting breed to deal with.
On the sleeping issue - my LO has slept 12-6 ish the past 5 days now. Today, he also went back to sleep after the 6:30 feed and slept until 11:30. It was, however, sooooo hard to get him down at 12:30 last night, and that was after being awake pretty much all day. I can't get him to stay asleep for a nap. He'll pass out for 10 minutes after one boob of a feeding and then wake up for the second and stay wide awake for the next two hours until the next feeding.
My dad just got a new smartphone. It's better than mine. *poutty lip*
I have no original opinions, sorry.
I have no desire to see the movie Magic Mike
I hate how some women dress their little girls up like dolls. I get that having a girl is fun to dress up, but I think some women cross the line and it is almost as if the baby becomes an accessory.
Nutella is Nasty

Goodbye my second angel (9/18/2011)
That is hilarious.
Also, I'm totally guilty of posting a "my baby hates being worn" post on the AP board. Everything we read said babies love being held & worn. Not DD, her UO is that she hates being held. For the first 10 weeks she would cry when anyone held her, including me & DH. She screams when I try to wear her. Oh well, I was bummed b/c we were given a sling, a Moby, and a Bjorn. She's not having any of it.
My UO is that I don't find Ryan Lochte attractive, he's just comes off as so dumb in his interviews, kind of ruins it for me.
I totally get being bummed about LO not liking it! I was just commenting on the people following it so closely they panic if something doesnt fit. I only do it when we go out, but hes starting not to like it. No more grocery store cuddles
Lochte is total douche. The freaking diamond grills and speedo pics at clubs? Grow up.
I actually agree (even though I posted about it). But alot of our old regulars only come back to flame or tell people... sorry, but no. That's kinda irritating
Ha, I'm finding myself agreeing with most of these UOs. I also consider myself mostly AP, except we don't bedshare all the time. LO sleeps next to our bed until his 5-6am feed, when I bring him into bed with me. The snuggles are awesome and he sleeps so much better, but I couldn't bedshare all night long.
I wish the FB group would leave their drama in the FB group instead of dragging it here, whilst simultaneously telling us we're not allowed to join their group if anyone here wanted to.
I'm a teacher (or was until LO arrived, at least) and pretty much every single student I've ever had has a nicer phone than me. Why do 11-year-olds need Iphones????
Mylittlesunshine, have you seen this blog? https://devandmcki.blogspot.ca/2012_06_01_archive.html Highlights include her bleaching her 3-year-old's hair and giving her infant a French manicure.
My UO: I don't like Mad Men. Or Downton Abbey. I tried watching both and found them both so boring.
LOL, no I get what you're saying about some of the AP posts, some seem to miss the whole 'balance' aspect and watching baby's cues. For instance, purple-faced screaming when she's put into the moby....
Also, Nutella is the best!
And, relax FB people, that commercial was a little joke. Not all of the 250 of you are bullies. It's really not that big of a deal, lighten up.
I hate to read fb statuses about how much ppl love their LO and how much being a mom has changed them.
We know it, you don't need to have a profound status everyday!
I think there's a division because some posters used to come back here only to tell us how lame the board is and how awesome the FB group is. It seemed to happen whenever we got an influx of new posters. Then those posters were swooped up by the FB group.
I think the board vs FB group thing needs to stop though. I agree that it's old news.
My UO is that letting LOs sleep on their bellies isn't as terrible as everyone makes it out to be... I think that we still don't know what causes SIDS, and there are more dangerous toxins and environmental factors around us that might contribute even more to it than purely focusing on a sleeping position. We don't even know what numbers compose the percentiles that they report for outcomes for back vs belly sleeping (for example, 30% of a small sample is so different than 30% of a huge sample. And how and where did they get their data from anyway?). I get frustrated when people absolutely freak out about the idea of letting LO sleep on their belly or are made to feel like they have to defend that decisions to others. DD sleeps SO much better that way, and I'm glad that she's well-rested! I think it's healthy for her to get as much sleep as she wants and not wake up a ton because she's uncomfortable. That said, I'm not trying to imply that people who stop their babies from sleeping on their bellies hurt them in any way - everyone is different!
Similarly, I get frustrated when people have to defend their decision to co-sleep. Again, the risks are so minimal and there's even research that shows that co-sleeping is associated with a reduced risk of SIDS, if anything. I don't like it when people flip out on those who choose to do it or try to tell them baby smothering stories - all accidents, regardless of what the accident is, are equally likely to happen anytime anywhere. There's probably as much of a risk of rolling on your baby as there is of being in a car accident with LO.
That's MY biggest issue with it. It's like all TB is good for anymore is complaints. But I digress.
Whether or not the FB group is represented by that commercial, I love it. Makes me giggle every time.
I don't know that I have an UO for the day though. I will say I'm actually kind of thankful that DD sleeps during the day even if she only sleeps 4 hours at night, though I'm sure DH would appreciate if that weren't the case... I'm going back to work on nights next week
Well it's hard to not be "judgy" when those women who want to join the FB group are being judged according to the actions of a few individuals. There is your division right there. Just saying................

I'll grant you that twinkies are gross, but Little Debbie Fudge Rounds are the bees knees
DItto! Same with cakes made out of mixes - you can always tell and they don't taste nearly as good.
I don't consider the group bullies. For me, it's just annoying to have all this drama come back to this board that has been pretty peaceful and drama-free until up to a month or so ago, and when someone asked about what was going on she was basically told 'none of your business'. And then someone who asked to join the group was told no, you can't join. So why come back to this board at all except to spread drama?
Coming back to this board to participate in threads is totally different imo, and I for one am happy to have you here. It's just when people only pop back on this board to participate in flaming or drama that I find it frustrating.
My husband has been trying to get me to see the awesomeness of Hostess and Little Debbie for years (his groom's cake was snack cakes.) He basically tells me I'm un-American for not liking snack cakes.
I'm with your husband! ; Man, I could really go for a little Debbie. My palate is so very sophisticated.
MMmmmmm, snack cake cake
THIS. My child does not nap. Ever. I almost wish she would sleep less hours at night (she sleeps 12 now) and give me a break during the day. By the time bed time comes around she is a little crank!

Whoa, I thought I was the only one!!! Ditto to the Dr. Seuss
maybe we should start a book club
I am soooo tempted to buy DD a HP onesie, but we are a house of geeks so it's acceptable :P
I fully expect to have birthed a little geekling.
Noooooooo! I love Suzy Q's. And Twinkies. But I guess I draw the line at Ho Ho's. The awful 'chocolate' on the outside makes me cry.

PAHAHAHA okay, this commercial just absolutely made my day! Which I appreciate because I just attempted to try on a dress that I *thought* might work for a bachelorette party I have to go to tomorrow night, and it definitely didn't even fit around my a$$. Perfect.
I felt SOO bad for the girl who asked to join the FB group and was basically told "party's full, brah". I seriously went to bed upset for her and hoping that her feeliings werent hurt!!
I loved twlight & the hunger games (But I think the Hunger Games were a lot better than twlight) & I actually bought 50 shades of grey I'm going to try to start on it soon...so I guess I read everything your not into! lol
but I do LOVE dr seuss...but my only complaint is even at USED book stores they still are rather expensive considering they are used! but they are a classic that will hopefully never die or get old so I'll be more than happy to pay the high prices..I just know I'm going to save the books for all the LO's I have so they can have them for their LO's.
