It is Thursday, right?
DH and I married 8 years. Mom of three, stepmom of one.

Re: UO
Well, in case TB ever starts working again, I'll throw out mine. I have a few this morning.
- Cereal should only be eaten soggy. How can people expect so much out of their teeth first thing in the morning?
- I don't like super fluffy or new towels. I don't think they absorb water as well as worn towels.
- I don't like cold cuts right out of the fridge, I like them sort of room temp (not really safe I know...)
- I don't get why some people swear all the time. Once in a while, fine. All the time? It sounds trashy.

I can't do food at the wrong temperature. It has to be served whatever temp it's supposed to be so no cold pizza and no warm pudding. I prefer potato salad and pasta salad room temp though.

Bread pudding is gross! I love cooked fruit, fruit pie, jams, jellies mmmmmm
I don't judge anyone that bedshares, that is your decision. I agree with @LindsayDesigner it is a choice that parents make. I get that some babies don't sleep well by themselves. We have all been through the sleepless nights but at a point, it is a choice to let them be in the bed with you. I am really glad that Leah sleeps in her own bed. I do strongly think parents should choose to parent in thier own style and stand by it, don't let others sway you. Unless it relates to vaccines, then completely different and you need to do it.
If your child is sick, the fever is their body working to kill whatever bad thing is in their body. Reducing the fever usually prolongs the problem.
@mmdailey You better kiss me, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone! Seriously, stay. I like you. A lot.
@JnMac83 You're weird but, probably a pituitary kind of weird. I've never had bread pudding. It sounds nasty. Cereal is best sogged. Kiss it sister.
@ LindsayDesigner I get it. Sometimes people need to vent. I can be judgy about that too. It's hard to hear your kids cry in the MOTN. I never had co sleeping babies but, still. Sleep training was so effing hard. On me. I think sometimes ppl complain here because it's a safe place to vent.
@Lgamache90 We could all be soulmates
Yeah, I think that was one of my UOs a while back. Such as...when I go to the AP board and see post after post for sleep help, well...I think that says something. I don't think there's anything wrong with AP approaches to sleep if that's your choice, but I think it's a long-term commitment, like you better not mind them sleeping in your bed for a loooooong time. Otherwise, I think you're just making everyone's lives harder in the end.
But, who knows what I would have done with a child with a different temperament. DS slept best in his crib and always had. RE: sleep training...he sleeps great and always has (well, not the first first weeks) so I've not had to make those hard decisions.

H bought it in the first place and then about threw myself a pity party this morning when I realized there wasn't any left. Plain milk is so not the same.
I agree about parenting choices that people complain about. I know someone who has 3 kids in their bed because she can't tell them no, but complains. My SIL complains her son doesn't eat veggies, but they don't either.
My UOs: I don't like cream soda. I've never seen Pulp Fiction, and I have no interest in it.
And for food...I'm very frustrated by our feeding situation. He rarely eats anything that isn't in a pouch, with the exception of little bits of a very limited number of finger foods. Yes, I could stop giving pouches, but then we'd have to get a feeding tube because we don't have much wiggle room for him not eating enough. We introduced pouches a few months back at the advice of his gi when there was discussion of putting him on a feeding tube. It's not always true that they'll eat if they're hungry.
And if you saw my baby out in public, you wouldn't know there are any medical issues going on, so I'm sure I get judged a lot by the pouch use, and if it continues into toddler hood, I'm sure we'll be judged even more.
