I HATE Dave Matthews Band. His voice makes my skin crawl. Also hate when he comes to town for concerts because traffic is horrible for like a 10 mile radius around the concert venue and it takes me forever to get to anywhere.

This may not be unpopular, but... Our MIL's are NOT the number 1 woman in our DH/SO/BF/FI lives anymore. We are. And those of us having girls, the little girl comes before us! All the MIL's need to figure this out. I don't care how much of a momma's boy he is.

AGREEEEEEEEEEED! Not sure what you're getting at with the little girl piece but man does it drive me nuts how much my DH's mother smooches and loves on him and coddles him like he can do no wrong. The man's nearly 30 years old and married. Come on now! It makes me find him not-sexy at times when she does it.

Just that there's two female in his life that come before her. Not saying that a son is any less important. Just had to have a small vent cause N's mother makes me want to scream.

It drives me insane when a pregnant woman says she can't work, exercise, or any strenuous activity.
You can do most if what you could do before you were KU. I was told I can lift and hold my four year old. I continue to work a strenuous job and continually out pace my staff.
So, in my opinion, unless you have a legitimate medical issue, you are just being lazy and milking it.

I have another one based off of equibabe's.
I think your kids should come before DH. I love my DH with all my heart, but if I had to lose my son to save DH. DS would win everytime.
In everyday battles, I back DH, but life and death situations, my children will be first.
That goes for me as well. DH knows if there is trouble at delivery, the focus is on baby not mama.

HA! Love that we posted our UO's almost simultaneously.
I agree with you on the life or death situations -- LO comes first. My UO is geared towards everyday life, rather than extreme situations.

Haha! I agree with you, though. You have to be a united front. Otherwise, the kids walk all over you and manipulate you. Like you said, when the kids are gone the relationship will end.

My UO this week:
I can't STAND "our little prince" "our little princess" "our little diva" type "labels" (for lack of a better word my brain can't come up with right now) women or men give their babies, while still in the womb OR after they've come out, especially if the "nickname" is accompanied by attitude from the parents and later the child.
Gah!!!

THIS. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I also can't stand it when I tell people we're having a girl and they say, "Oh, she's going to be spoiled rotten." What?! I realize they don't mean anything by it, but I hate to start that kind of crap this early.

Following up on LJGS and Garden...

The parents who don't agree on parenting/discipline... Dad says no or ties to enforce the rules and Mom says yes and yells at Dad for trying to enforce the rules. N's brother and his SO did this with their son and he is now a 19 year old punk who thinks he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to.

I feel this way too!!!!! It actually disgusts me. Instead, I look for "sweetheart" or "cutie pie" onesies so it's not all 'labels' that rub me the wrong way.

Agreed! I'm pregnant, not disabled!! Barring from medical issues, you pretty much can do whatever you did before getting pregnant. I will still pick up and play with my toddler and be active. The only thing I stop after the first tri is surfing. But mostly because it is crowded during the summer and I don't trust others to keep themselves and boards in check. If it was during a less busy time id still be out there.

I have to think of a uo of my own......

YES! That dang Feeling 22 song is one of the worst songs ever made. I cringe whenever I hear it. And like my friend said, "isn't she only like 24 so where does she get off reminiscing on a lapse of 2 years?"

LJGS1010:
I don't understand when people do not prioritize their marriage/relationship once a LO arrives.When your LO becomes the center of your universe, to the exclusion of your partner, you're doing yourself and your child a disservice. LO will think he or she is god's gift to the world, and your connection with your partner suffers. One day LO will leave the house, and you're going to turn to your partner and realize you have nothing in common and don't really know each other anymore.Maintaining a strong, healthy relationship is the best think you can do for yourself and your LO. It teaches LO what a "good" relationship looks like and results in a stronger family unit.A caveat to the above: This does not take into account situations where a LO has a medical issue or other special need that necessitates 100 of a parent's attention and time.nbsp; Also, obviously, parents should shower a LO with love and attention it just shouldn't be to the detriment of the parents' relationship.

Agree 100!!!!! If you're constantly fighting and arguing with your spouse that negativity will be picked up by your child. That relationship needs to be nurtured and celebrated so the child learns what a healthy relationship looks like and grows up with knowledge how to treat the people they date and potentially marry.

My husbands father is so unbelievably disrespectful to his mom. And my mom is the same way to my dad. And we swore to each other when we started dating that we will treat each other respectfully and fairly. And we do.

But I want my child to look at our marriage and think wow I want a love like theirs!

HA!
DH is tone deaf, and his favorite thing to do in the car is crank up a T-Swift song and "mock sing" it -- completely off tune, with tons of emotion, as if he were a tween girl. It's hysterical. Kinda makes me wish I had a video of him doing it....

Sounds like my DH except he changes the words so that the words "fart, pee and poo" are prominently featured. Boys. ::sigh::

Agreed!!! She sucks.. Her songs, her voice and even her attitude. Ugh. Everytime she comes on the radio I say we don't listen to Taylor swift. I don't want her flooding my child with nonsense.. And change the station.

I actually feel the opposite...but I'm a FTM so we will see if it changes. My thoughts is first comes husband and then kids. When the kids are grown and go off DH will still be there. He is my everything and someone who will always be by my side. I don't know about life and death though because I am not in your shoes yet.
However DH told me if there was a problem in delivery he would save me not the baby. He says he couldn't live with out me and we can always have another baby. I don't really know how I feel about it. It doesn't even feel real that there is a baby growing in me right now.

I thought the same thing when I read equibabe's. Intially I thought "No, kids come first". But then after looking at her siggy I guessed that she is a FTM and then I thought "That opinion will probably change in about 5 months!"

I'm a STM+ and my husband will always come first. Based on other responses I know this will be an UO but I always have and always will pick my husband first. I love my children very much and would do anything for them but at the end of the day when they are grown it will be me and my husband not me and my son. My son and step daughter will move on and marry and have their own families and it will only be me and my husband.

I have seen too many relationships deteriorate because the wife did not put her husband first...

I don't know how my UO suggested that kids don't come first? I actually said our DD comes before me. Obviously I don't have any intentions of not giving N the attention and love he deserves, and I don't expect his attentions toward me to decrease either. We'll have to make sure we make time for each other. We won't just be parents, we'll still be a couple. But making sure DD is taken care of will come first, especially as an infant and toddler when she depends on us for everything. N is a grown man and capable of caring for himself. What we want will come second to what she needs.

My point with my UO was that DD and I come before MIL and the bish needs to figure that out quick.

BSnipes35 · June 2013

I don't think you should hold a newborn when they are sleeping. After lurking on the 0-3 month board, it seems there is a new "standard" that you should let your child sleep on you until they are at least six weeks old. Who came up with this crazy idea?! We never held DS1 when he was sleeping. He started STTN at 8 weeks old, and he has always been a great sleeper. He does not sleep in the bed with us, he actually PREFERS sleeping in his own bed. Not holding him did not result in any ill effects, quite the opposite IMO. He's a smart, funny, loving little wild four year old. And, we all get lots of sleep at night!! He also still takes 2-3 hour naps during the day. So, there it is: I think you should put your child down when they are asleep and get some housework done. Stick out tongue

I have a 2nd one. I hate what I call "buy my crap" parties (31, Premier Jewelry Pampered Chef, Beachbody, Avon, Mary Kay etc.). Your stuff is crap, it's overpriced and I don't want to listen to you lecture me on how much money you can make if you quit your job and do this instead. Hate them, hate them, hate them.

I agree with this. I have 3 kids ranging in weight from 25lbs-40lbs all need lifted regularly. I also wrestle with two of them every 2 hours, diaper changes. I still have to clean my house, which includes lifting.

I also can't stand people who treat me as though I'm handicapped because I'm pregnant.
My best friend is one of these people. He means well, but dude I can carry my 2 gallons of milk just fine and no me going on a walk isn't too strenuous

Dh and I have this theory too. Our marriage is fine, we love each other but kids are our #1 priority. I've also made it clear to DH that if he has to make the decision me or the baby, its the baby.

Totally agree! Lots of relationships fall apart when the LO becomes the center of the universe and the marriage takes a backseat. Showing your LO a healthy relationship is invaluable in the long run. I do think its easier said than done, especially when you have been waiting so long for a LO, but it's something to strive for.
