Re: UOs anyone?
I totally agree...also, put your kid in a costume! I saw so many kids out last night in regular clothes. Lazy!

ita. There should also be a rule about not digging into the bowl like a crazy candy fiend. I had to hold the bowl up a few times bc rude kids kept grabbing huge handfuls before I could even open the darn door!
But I will give a pass to kids 3 and younger not in costume. Ds REFUSED his costume up until the very last minute. I think he finally "got" it when he saw other ToTers in costume.
But I also get pissy with ToTing outside the allotted time slots. People came at 3pm to our house and woke Ds up from his nap! Grrrr
These weren't toddlers. They were like 5,6 or 8,9 year olds.

Me neither.
I don't like HDBD either, mainly because I keep forgetting to take pictures of myself while pregnant. I need to become better at taking pictures in general.
4 losses- MC in 2006, MMC in February 2012 at 12 weeks and MMC (twins) August 2016 at 12 weeks. Pregnant again- 11/7/16. Another loss on December 28, 2016.

I completely agree.
Also, kind of on the same topic, I hate when people blame the snark on hormones.

I agree with the ToT's comments - we had so many kids come to our house last night with their regular clothes on. I wanted to ask what they 'were' but their parents were with them. Honestly - you can come out of something in your closet if you don't have the money for a costume (and they were like 7+) I also think there should be an age limit on ToT - apparently here there isn't, in my hometown its 12 and I fully agree with it.
Also - the stupid little boys who came to the door last night (they were like 11) and barked at my dog (who still doesn't understand Halloween, she's a year and a half) and got her all worked up, I could of screamed at. Have some manners!!
I think that trick or treating in daylight should be forbidden. 90% of the fun is being out late after dark.
It totally ruined my DH's haunted maze in our garage because everyone was done by 6:30 and it didn't get dark until 6:45.
both of these

I agree. I've always been sarcastic. And snark makes boards interesting.
My UO is that I don't like baby showers. I'm super greatful to my hostesses but everyone staring at me while I open gifts makes me feel very awkward. "Oh look at this...more baby clothes! I'm sure this will be super useful. Thanks for not buying anything I actually need." <....what I wish I could say. Not to mention everyone giving me advice. I'd rather just hang out with some friends and the focus not be on my fetus.
Ugh, ITA! I don't think this is an UO though
Seriously, if you can buy yourself the slutty _________ costume, you can buy your own candy.

I agree that pics of Ds with food smeared all over his face are cute. And it makes me smile bc it reminds me how much fun we were having!
BUT I also realize those are pictures only a mother can love
I may gag a little when I see kids with mystery foods dripping from their chin!
Yes, definitely will admit I'll probably think it's cute when it's my own kid.
I would like a little more heated discussions! But I definitely don't miss random biiitchiness
I also don't like photos of babies with food all over their face unless I can tell what the food is! Sometimes it just looks like they puked all over the place.
ezra everyday
I thought it was weird that we had a dad on our bmb.

Huh... where did he go? Did he GBCB after the miscarriage thread thing?

Amen to both of these! I was originally on the Sept 2012 board an it was so much snarkier than this one. Also, if you're being a b!tch it's most likely because you're a b!tch. Now if you are crying because you're out of pepperoni and can't make pizza quickies for dinnner (yes I did this and yes W went out to find me some pepperoni) then it's hormones.
I am so glad I will never have another baby shower again and glad I only had one. My face hurt from smiling afterwards and I was sweating even though it was cold in the house. I am beyond grateful for it, don't get me wrong but I don't need to ever do it again. I am actually glad I got some clothes though because I have a hard time spending money on something that will only last baby a few months and all my contributions to her closet are from clearance racks or things that come in a pack of 5
I totally agree. There have been many times when I've just rolled my eyes at a post but didn't post anything because I didn't want to hurt the posters feelings.
No, I was bored one day and went on the dads & dads-to-be board and it looks like he just posts there now.
I hate Babies R Us - will not shop there - and think everyone else should ban them too. They are overpriced, have terrible return/exchange/store credit policies, don't carry much in the way of organic or "newer age" products (not talking about food).
I gave them a piece of my mind the other day at the cash register. I think that between Amazon, Target and some other reputable baby stores, that we could all stop shopping there and they could go out of business and I'd be quite happy.
It'll never happen, I know.
He's sticking to the dad's board because of that thread.
Yes me too! And I felt trapped, like I HAD to talk to everyone and keep them entertained. I know everyone's first instinct is to buy baby clothes; trust me I've done it too! But my husband and I are particular about what we like and there's such a limited selection for boys it can be frustrating! Needless to say we aren't into sports but got a lot of "Daddy's Little Slugger" onesies when I would much rather get a pack of diapers or wipes. But I had to make a big show of cooing over each outfit. It was weird and silence made me that much more nervous!
I completely agree. It's WAY expensive. I didn't even register there and refuse to shop there. I registered at Target and Amazon
Betchya he still lurks ::waves hi to Voltwhatchyacallhim::
I completely agree with all of this. My church insists on throwing a baby shower for all of it's mothers to be but they never buy anything off of the registries. Now I'm finding out they love to text you and call you three days beforehand and ask what you need. I really want to tell people to look at the F&%*$&* registry and stop asking but I try and be nice. I'm super annoyed at the whole thing and can't wait for it to be over.
Except where I am BRU or Amazon are your only options. And my family doesn't think far enough ahead to buy off of Amazon, the few that do have internet access, so if I want things that I will actually need without a billion of the same baby outfit from Walmart it was best for me to register at BRU.
I think anyone that says "every vote counts" doesn't understand how the voting process and electoral college works. Your vote matters more in swing states than solidly red or blue states.
I also think it's crazy how people get so riled up over presidential elections but don't vote for or even know who their senators and representatives are. And they're the ones who actually pass laws.
I'm not voting because I'm tired of having to choose between who sucks less.
bahaha! love it!
I also hate baby showers. I'm thankful for mine and for the support I've been given by friends and family, but they are really overrated. I LOVE wedding showers, though. Maybe because the gifts are more eclectic and they serve alcohol? There's only so much commentary for a bunch of bibs, onesies, and burp cloths.
THANK YOU. I didn't want to be the one to say it...
I think people take the being excited to touch and talk to the baby (the mother's stomach actually) way too far. My boss for example takes every chance she gets to grab my stomach, lean down and yell "Ohh Him NEEEDDDDSSSSS me" WTF umm no, HE doesn't need YOU he needs ME! You are my boss, nothing more to this baby. It's weird and awkward.
I've never really understood people other than close family and the closest of closest friends touching pregnant women. I know some people are fine with it, but not everyone is and people should always ask permission.
