My UO: Babylegs. Especially babylegs on boys. I just don't get it! They are weird looking. My friend puts them with a onesie on her son. Looks goofy.
I used baby legs with DD until she was about 8 months old, but they do look goofy. It's easier to change a diaper and not have to take pants off and on, especially with a cloth diaper since they made her booty so bulky. They are the equivalent of baby sweatpants IMO though. They are fine to wear around the house, but if you are going out where other people can see you, you have to put on real pants. Her diapers don't effect how her pants fit as much anymore, so we don't use them now. If this LO is a boy, I'm probably going to pass on the baby legs. They look too much like tights.

FWIW, DD wears them with dresses, instead of tights. So it's not like the kid isn't wearing pants....

I also had DD wear them with skirts- I forgot about that. I was only thinking about what PP's mentioned- with just a shirt or onesie. We went out when DD wore them in place of tights, but the onesie/baby legs combo is for in the house only. She looked like she was ready to jazzaercise

My UO is that I can't stand when SAHM's dump their kids off on their husbands the second they walk in the door. I completely get that you were with them all day and may have reached your limit. But your husband also worked all day and he too may need a second to himself. I think there needs to be a balance. My friend does this everytime her husband gets home in the evening and I feel so bad for him.nbsp; She tells him to do like five million things and then sits down and gets on her phone to look at facebook.nbsp;nbsp; It's as if she thinks being a mom is a part time job and she can just clock out when he gets there.

I used to think this until I recently became a SAHM. I had a career as an attorney and that was much easier than SAH all day. I got a chance to eat and pee in peace. I could talk on phone, socialize, etc. Not so much now with a toddler at my heels all.day.long!

I'm with you. Although.... I do have an account. I deactivated it for about a year until last August. I kept asking family members for pictures of my cousin's wedding. "They're on Facebook." I reactivated and am dissapointed in myself. Now, I find myself reading posts about people from my past that really would never cross my mind otherwise. It's definitely a timesuck.
My SIL and brother do this all of the time with pictures of my niece and nephews. I live 800 miles away and I'll be like, "Can I have pictures of the kids in their Halloween costumes?" and my brother will say, "Just get a Facebook account. They're all on there." Thanks bro!
PS.. you say you hate facebook, and no one could give you a good reason to join, but you just gave yourself one. You don't have to read everyone's mindless, mundane posts if you don't want to. But you can subscribe to the people you care about - like your brother - and be able to see photos of your nieces and nephews. No offense, but if I was your brother, I'd say the same thing to you.
Honestly, I dig facebook. I don't post a whole heck of a lot, but I can easily share pics of my son with everyone who matters to us without having to individually send to them every time. Just makes it easier for us.

here is my problem with the facebook picture thing, you can't pull pictures off of facebook and make a real picture out of them. If you try and make them normal size, or print them off as an actual physical picture they are grainy and blurry. So if Im asking for pictures of family, I want an actual dang picture, not some grainy tiny picture off of facebook just because they think its easier

I hate when men or women (esp. men) say things like "WE're pregnant", "WE plan on breastfeeding", "When WE delivered the baby".

I get that your husband/significant other is a part of this experience, but they haven't done any of these things!! I would love it if WE could share the load of pregnancy, breastfeeding and delivery - but WE can't. It's all on me. So please, give credit where credit's due.

I HATE this one too. I told my DH that "we were not pregnant," He could say "we were having a baby" but that was as far as it went.

I also was never a fan of "we are currently trying." You can't talk about sex on a regular basis unless you are "trying" to have a baby. Wouldn't it be nice to say, "we are having a lot of sex, so that we can get a baby."

this probably isn't a very good one but I HATE victoria's secret. They pride themselves on boobs and their models have decently sized ones yet their bras give horrible support, they don't go past a DD and their cup sizes are so incredibly small if your a real D or DD you wouldn't fit in their stuff anyways. How about making some real sizes VS? Or at the very least making you cup sizes at least comparable to every other brand on the market.

sidenote: part of my hate stems from the fact that their stuff is so darn cute but I could even fit half a nipple in most of it!

I love babylegs! I've worn a pair on my arms before in a pinch when it got colder than expected

Pants can cause compression with cloth diapers, so we use baby legs most of the time. And they protect little knees from rug burn in the the crawling stage, which yes, pants do too, but who wants to wear pants when it's ot/warm?

My UO? People on this forum well, TB as a whole can really and truly be cruel.nbsp; I'm not talking about snark at a stupid posts, I'm talking unquestionable cruelty. Sometimes, all sides need to just step back and drop it. Stupid things get said when people get all craycray.Case and point, this thread from 1st Trimester I've read the whole thing and am thoroughly disgusted with most everyone involved.https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/9/71988034/ShowThread.aspx By no means am I expecting puppies and rainbows. Hell, I welcome drama in most cases, but there is a limit. That thread FAR exceeded that limit from the getgo.

I agree! I just don't get why some have no tact whatsoever!! What is point of bashing someone or putting down or basically calling them stupid. I then hide behind "we'll I am just being honest, real or whatever" I try to ignore those comments but sometimes I can't and have a need to stick up for the OP or whatever

Did you actually read this thread? I have a feeling you didn't. It was a lot more then someone having "no tact," and calling someone "stupid."

No I didn't read the thread she mentioned but I have seen people be downright mean for no reason.

You think some of us ladies on this BMB are mean. You should really read this thread.

There is a big difference in being honest and not sugar coating things, and being down right mean. This is a fine example of the line being crossed. That thread will show you what mean truly is.

There were some downright heinous things said in that thread, especially in the last 2-3 pages. I understand heat-of-the-moment, but damn, even that doesn't excuse some of the things that were said.

And let me re-iterate, snark doesn't bother me. Most of the time, people calling each other stupid doesn't bother me, but that thread is a FLAMING example of taking things way, way too far.

Yeahhhh...I don't think that I just gave myself a good reason. Good to hear you're a fan but I think it's lame.

I think it's not the people that I know are genuine that get under my skin, it's the ones that you know aren't and yet they portray to others there life is something completely different. I just have never bought into this idea that you need to be something for everyone to think you are successful. That being said, I do agree that there are plenty of people who genuinely have good relationships, but they tend not to say stupid stuff all the time or are over the top about their relationship.

My sister does this, and it drives my bat-poop crazy! She is always bragging in FB about how great her marriage is, how wonderful her life is, how she wouldn't change a thing...REALLY? So, we've completely decided to forget the fact that you lied to your bf who wouldn't commit and told him you were on birth control so you could get pregnant on purpose and trap him? We're ignoring the fact that he got a bj from your best friend in your kitchen when you were 4 months pregnant? We're glazing over the fact that your mother had to buy the ring and nag him into proposing? We're ignoring the cuss-outs in front of your children, the full-on shouting matches at family meals? The hours-long bawling sessions with me on the phone about how he doesn't do anything around the house, and never spends time with his family?

But please, tell me again how happy you are...maybe if you say it often enough it'll become true.
