My UO is actually none of my business being as it isn't my life, but I have a friend who came out she was pregnant on fb the day she found out she was pregnant. One day after her missed period. Within the first 9 days, she ordered a crib, bought... I think she said 8 unisex outfits, and a $300 breast pump with extra DVDs. She watched the BF DVDS in that first week. She asked if people got diaper coupons to send them to her so she could stock up, and every post was about her being pregnant and every picture so far is of things she has purchased. (No she hadn't been trying for years, etc. she had only been off BC for two months.) I'm not a total wench but she's still yet to even have her 1st u/s to make sure everything is alright. Now I'm a bitch. Lol. Coming from someone who's had many histories of people in their lives having multiple miscarriages, I just can't see her reasoning. I'm happy for her and everything, but I think she's being unrealistic about all the puppies and rainbows.

I'd agree.
A girl I grew up with that I kept in touch with on FB announced her pregnancy as such: "We just couldn't hold in the news any longer! We're pregnant and due ...!" and she hadn't even missed her period yet according to her due date. She was only 3w5d along. Way to really keep the news quiet for a while. That probably killed you, that wait to tell everyone, walking from the bathroom to the computer to post on Facebook.
I became a really bitter bitch after my molar pregnancy.

My UO. The threads that contain debates, discussion, and *gasp* even snark and arguments are far superior to the "it's a..." and other puppies & rainbows threads. There are far too many boring threads lately.
And related to that, I hate when people put in comments and GIFs about being annoyed that a conversation is still ongoing. I don't put comments about how dull all of the stupid, boring posts are. I'll be damned if a stupid GIF is going to stop me from debating if I want to. There's nothing making you continue to read a thread. If I get bored with a debate or argument, I just stop reading it. All of you eyerolling GIF posters should try it. It's liberating.
If Bookshelves is a crotchety old grump, I guess that would make me a raging bitch?
My UO #1: I will never miss an opportunity to utilize the Meryl Streep .gif. (In all seriousness, if I feel that a thread is started with the legitimate point of debating a topic, I'll either participate or avoid it. The circumcision thread's OP stated in the title that she didn't want to start a debate, but clearly she did with her "I'm not circumcising, and I hope everyone will do their own research, blah blah blah" condescending BS. The corporal punishment thread was started with the intent of inciting a debate, so since I didn't feel like getting into heated discussion, I didn't comment. To me, the difference was clear - one was eye-roll/face-palm .gif worthy, and the other was not.)
I totally agree. I also think gifs are funny, and better than many people's opinions on some debates.
I think nurseries that are super cute and put together look silly and fake. Like they belong in a magazine not a real house. Also I seriously dislike names above the crib, or even letters. And I will not be monogramming anything of my kids. Unless labeling their clothing counts as monogramming.
Haha! I do all of this. DS has a custom painted canvas of his name above his crib from Small Words, and so will DD. Also, I monogram the shit out of everything. No shame.
I think initials above the crib, or the name above the crib is cute as well. A friend of my mother's made my son letters of his name made out of pillows and it was adorable! She made them to hang on the wall, but I am a slacker and never got a chance to hang them, so they hung out in the crib since my son never slept there, ha!
I hate Sophie the Giraffe. I'm sick of everyone telling me I need one. It's just an overpriced teether and I don't think it's that cute at all!

My son never liked his. I got one at my shower and everyone told me how great it was - but for me it was useless. My minature daschund however would LOVE to get his paws on it (I'm saving it in case LO2 likes it).
Also got a bumbo - everyone told me how great that was as well - DS was in it for one picture. He then (at three months) arched his way out of it - didn't use it after that..
The jolly-jumper however was worth its weight in gold... at least for my DS1.
This is not something I would clutch my pearls over, but I have a tendency to side eye parents whose children are out in public wearing pajamas if it is not 1. nighttime or 2. a infant in a sleep n play.
FTR, there has been many days that DD has stayed in her pjs for most of the day. However, those are days when we do not leave the house. When we leave the house, we all get dressed.
@ccip82 - I agree with this & to branch off of it, I hate seeing grown adults (women mostly) out & about in their VS Pink sweat pants, messy hair, & slippers. It just says "Lazy" to me.

I checked to see if this had started when I woke up, but then I fell back asleep and now it's page 3! My UO: I hate peanut butter. I'm not allergic-- I just think it's disgusting.

I think it's acceptable if you're racing out to the grocery store or something like that but I definitely side eye people who think a velour track suit is "dressing up".
It doesn't really bother me when someone touches my stomach. That being said, I'm a FTM and it's only happened a handful of times so if you check back in 5 months, I may have started throwing elbows.

I agree, but it has to be a combination of all three. Although do yoga pants count? I do wear them everywhere.
The VS sweat pants made me think of another UO: I hate, hate, hate pants with writing scrolled across the ass. My ass may be juicy, but I do not need writing to prove it
This is a spin off from an UO on the Dec13 board, but I couldn't think of anything else.
I hate the debate between SAHMs and working moms. Unless you have done both, I think you have no idea what the differences are. There are pros and cons to both and so many ways in which one or the other is more difficult.
I think paying for an early elective sex scan is silly. You really can't wait another couple of weeks for your a/s? Not saying everyone has to be team green but the extra scans seem a little ridiculous to me.
(I don't side eye those who do it because they can't find out during their a/s - just the overly impatient types)

I agree with the bolded, but I am certainly capable of knowing and understanding the differences between the two jobs without having done both of them.

I probably should have worded that differently. People may know the differences, but I don't think they necessarily know how hard one or the other may actually be without doing it. ETA I'm not sure why the quote tree is screwed up.
My UO- If you have child that is old enough to walk out in public- put shoes on them. I have been so many places where there are toddlers without shoes and socks on walking around on the dirty floors of public areas. I understand if the child is to young to walk and is being carried, in a stroller, or in a baby carrier etc. but I totally side eye parents that let children walk through a grocery store or a mall without shoes on.
My work makes fun of me constantly about having my 4th kid. For example, yesterday in our staff meeting we were talking about updating our bios for our waiting room for our incoming students before the fall term starts (I work as an advisor at a large university) and my one coworker said "Yeah, the last time they were updated, Jenn only had 2 kids!" which was then followed by my other coworker saying "Yeah, Jenn what kid IS this for you??"
My UO? I don't care at ALL. I know it would probably bother a lot of people, but I usually just join in.
Yesterday I said "Well, I personally think I should just draw a line on my bio that says 'Jenn has ____ kids' so that we don't have to update every year... I can just write it in!"

Granted my AS is next week and we'll find out the sex then but just from looking at baby stuff I'm so over little boy stuff with monkeys on it. Maybe this is because a good friend did her nursery in a monkey theme and she took it to the "I might puke if I see another" level.

I'm sure this will be an UO, especially for current Mama's so apologies in advance but......I get so irritated when out in public (especially at a restaurant) and somebody's kid starts to cry and then scream and then the blood curdling scream and they do nothing.
I get not molly-coddling your kid, I do. But if you're out in public, don't let them cry it out in the hopes they'll stop because you are not the only one affected by it. A few minutes sure, but anything over 5minutes is too much for me. DH and I left a pub in the UK because after 30 minutes of a kid crying/screaming and the parents doing nothing about it, we couldn't handle it any more.
Take your kid and remove them from the situation. Try to calm them down and if that works, come back....
Edit - I didn't finish before pressing post. Damn baby brain
My UO is actually none of my business being as it isn't my life, but I have a friend who came out she was pregnant on fb the day she found out she was pregnant. One day after her missed period. Within the first 9 days, she ordered a crib, bought... I think she said 8 unisex outfits, and a $300 breast pump with extra DVDs. She watched the BF DVDS in that first week.

That probably killed you, that wait to tell everyone, walking from the bathroom to the computer to post on Facebook.
hahaha. That was funny. I laughed and woke up DS1.
My brother and SIL announced to everybody that they were pregnant at my baby shower (douchey, I know.) I went home and did the math and they were maaaybe 5 weeks pregnant (from the due date she got by her last period.) They announced on facebook within the next week and a half and I was so worried something would happen. Then she went in early for her ultrasound because she had some spotting and they couldn't find a heartbeat. Well, she wasn't far enough along to get the heartbeat,so when they told everybody at my shower, she wasn't even pregnant. Oops. When they told us this, we were all really confused and worried something would happen to the baby. We didn't say anything though. Thankfully, my nephew is here and very healthy. But I was pretty worried for them until she was about 13 weeks. I don't get the rush to tell anyone but your parents before the 2nd trimester.
Oh no. No. No no no... You NEVER EVER 'come out' at someone else's shower!!! I'm sorry if that's pretty much all I got out of that... Maybe its because I'm from the south?! Girl woulda been shunned!!! I didn't even go to a shower at church the other day because I'm showing and I was scared some one would bring it up and I wouldn't lie. I don't want to be side eyed by people thinking I came to a baby shower to come out at church! I've been sitting at the back of the pew and running out first because I'm still not comfortable letting everyone know yet.

Some mornings it's really easy for me to leave when she is being a pill. See ya later honey! Mama is walking out!

Yes - that is what I was meaning... the women who are in all 3. Yoga pants only count if you are also rockin the messy, thrown up, greasy ponytail and the slippers too.
We used to live in a college town so the girls often looked this way on their Sat or Sunday morning grocery trips. You'd see roommates both dressed like this. You KNOW they had a good time the night before. LOL I'm sorry, but if you cannot even take a shower, you should not be out driving & shopping.

No kidding! I was just saying, when #4 gets here, I'm going to hire a babysitter once a week for my sanity.
benjaminsmommy16, yes definitely. I know what you were saying, I was just being facetious. What gets me as a working mom is hearing the cute stories and things she says and not being there to witness it. Because she is bright and funny and a joy to be around. She is clever and legitimately makes me laugh. So when I miss the moments that crack the teachers up enough to make sure they tell me about it, that is a tough part of being a working mom.

I also do not like peanut butter, however I do love Reeses Peices and Peanut butter M&M's.
I have lots of random food issues, I might be crazy, I admit it. I could NEVER eat a PBJ or even a PB and anything sandwich. I ate a handful of peanuts and craisins one day and spit it out because it tasted too much like peanut butter and jelly. I wonder if the peanut butter in the candies is a little sweeter??? Who knows.
I hate snooze buttons on alarm clocks. If you hit it more than once, they should deliver an electric shock so you either turn it off or get your ass out of bed.
This post is brought to you by my DH, who hit his snooze button for an hour this morning X(

I don't have my own UO today. Lame. But - I do like cutesy nurseries and personalization/monograms.

My son never liked his. I got one at my shower and everyone told me how great it was - but for me it was useless. My minature daschund however would LOVE to get his paws on it (I'm saving it in case LO2 likes it).
Also got a bumbo - everyone told me how great that was as well - DS was in it for one picture. He then (at three months) arched his way out of it - didn't use it after that..
The jolly-jumper however was worth its weight in gold... at least for my DS1.

I guess I'm lazy then. Though I would never rock slippers.

You are dead to me.
I agree, but it has to be a combination of all three. Although do yoga pants count? I do wear them everywhere.
The VS sweat pants made me think of another UO: I hate, hate, hate pants with writing scrolled across the ass. My ass may be juicy, but I do not need writing to prove it

sibling love
I hate the debate between SAHMs and working moms. Unless you have done both, I think you have no idea what the differences are. There are pros and cons to both and so many ways in which one or the other is more difficult.
ETA autocorrect fix
I agree with the bolded, but I am certainly capable of knowing and understanding the differences between the two jobs without having done both of them.
I probably should have worded that differently. People may know the differences, but I don't think they necessarily know how hard one or the other may actually be without doing it.
ETA I'm not sure why the quote tree is screwed up.

I get not molly-coddling your kid, I do. But if you're out in public, don't let them cry it out in the hopes they'll stop because you are not the only one affected by it. A few minutes sure, but anything over 5minutes is too much for me. DH and I left a pub in the UK because after 30 minutes of a kid crying/screaming and the parents doing nothing about it, we couldn't handle it any more.
Take your kid and remove them from the situation. Try to calm them down and if that works, come back....
Edit - I didn't finish before pressing post. Damn baby brain
hahaha. That was funny. I laughed and woke up DS1.
Oh no. No. No no no... You NEVER EVER 'come out' at someone else's shower!!! I'm sorry if that's pretty much all I got out of that... Maybe its because I'm from the south?! Girl woulda been shunned!!! I didn't even go to a shower at church the other day because I'm showing and I was scared some one would bring it up and I wouldn't lie. I don't want to be side eyed by people thinking I came to a baby shower to come out at church! I've been sitting at the back of the pew and running out first because I'm still not comfortable letting everyone know yet.My brother and SIL announced to everybody that they were pregnant at my baby shower (douchey, I know.) I went home and did the math and they were maaaybe 5 weeks pregnant (from the due date she got by her last period.) They announced on facebook within the next week and a half and I was so worried something would happen. Then she went in early for her ultrasound because she had some spotting and they couldn't find a heartbeat. Well, she wasn't far enough along to get the heartbeat,so when they told everybody at my shower, she wasn't even pregnant. Oops. When they told us this, we were all really confused and worried something would happen to the baby. We didn't say anything though. Thankfully, my nephew is here and very healthy. But I was pretty worried
for them until she was about 13 weeks. I don't get the rush to tell anyone but your parents before the 2nd trimester.

Yes - that is what I was meaning... the women who are in all 3. Yoga pants only count if you are also rockin the messy, thrown up, greasy ponytail and the slippers too.
We used to live in a college town so the girls often looked this way on their Sat or Sunday morning grocery trips. You'd see roommates both dressed like this. You KNOW they had a good time the night before. LOL I'm sorry, but if you cannot even take a shower, you should not be out driving & shopping.

"Peace out, bishes!... Oh, I mean, I love you little darlings. Be good." :::bwahahaha:::
No kidding! I was just saying, when #4 gets here, I'm going to hire a babysitter once a week for my sanity.
