I watched the DVR recording of Saturday Night Live when Miley Cyrus hosted, and gosh darn it I still really like her. The government shutdown parody to "we can't stop" was weird, though.

This is s/o the morning routine post. I think if someone really wants to spend 10-15 minutes getting ready in the AM, they will. It is absurd, IMO, to say that all the moms look terrible at work anyway.

apparently it's a UO that I think the Duggars are insane.

Also, "majoring" in a subject in college does not make you even close to an expert in said subject.

I can't stand those disgusting Duggars.

ITA w the second point.

I stopped reading the Duggars post after the guffaw-worthy quotes that Lady Dix posted.

I have a question and would just like all of your opinions. Where better to ask than the UO thread?

My college buddy told me he always "knew" he was gay, even as a young child. My parents also raised us to believe that children are born either gay or straight. But then I read an article like this, and it blurs the lines for me. I'm just curious what your thoughts are.

I don't know if this is a UO, but I hate the word "precious" as in "you can't be precious about your furniture when you have a toddler" or "are you still precious about what you feed your baby?" It's just loaded with judgement, and yes, I do care about our (white ha ha) furniture, and I do care about what my baby eats.

I honestly didn't read the article, it's long, I'm at work... but all I know is I didn't choose to be straight, I started chasing boys around the playground when I was like 3. So It's hard for to me to think it's anything more than the way you are born.

I also think in hopefully no more than 5-10 years people will look back on the whole gay/straight thing and have trouble believing it was such a fucking issue... it boggles my mind that people give to poops about who someone else loves. With so much more to worry about... maybe that's my UO?

I know it's not really funny, but "blanket training" is the funniest thing I've ever heard. How can it possibly work?

lady dixneuf · October 2013

you guys are so boring today.

I love all things princess for Alice. Classic Disney princess specifically. I don't think letting her be around Disney princess stuff is going to teach her to be an entitled snot. I think how I teach her to treat others and that nothing is free, and that you have to work for what you want is going to teach her NOT to be an entitled snot.

She can also play with Barbies should she so desire.

that said, she currently has on her daddy's old jeans, and is playing with his old John Deere tractor from when he was a kid. She has a healthy mix of toys. LOL

My UO is that I get super pissed off when people don't RSVP for events. I don't know why I get so mad but I do, Wesley's birthday party is on Sunday and I sent out invitations over 2 weeks ago and asked people to RSVP so I know how much food we will need. We have sent invites to about 35 people and I have only heard from 4 people and 2 of them can't make it so now I don't know how much food to make. I wish people would simply let me know if they are or are not coming!

I judge super huge fat chicks who bleach their hair then dye it some ridiculous color and not keep up on the maintenance with it nor shower so they look like a grease ball. And then wear pyjama pants to the grocery store with a shirt so small their gut hangs out. I'm a big girl but I take care of myself.. Do they think that's a sexy look? It's nasty! Take CARE of yourself! Just because your a big girl doesn't mean you can't look decent. Smh.

OH. I really dislike when people give their kids a ton of cake to smash. For some reason all that cake really grosses me out even though in general messy babies don't, and it's weird since they can't/shouldn't eat nearly that much cake anyway. It wouldn't bother me on an individual basis, but the 'trend' of taking a photo of your kid covered in cake is just so weird to me.

I'm going to try to set this picture up with a cupcake. Something tells me it's going to go over pretty poorly.

lady dixneuf · October 2013

I am all for balance with the kids toys. My bro and I are 18 months apart. I had barbies and he had like, He Man and we played with both. Together.

okay so maybe a UO but,

i really wish i could watch my own birth. Like maybe next time i'll make my mom film it. And not just from the waist up but everything. even the gross parts. I'm pretty blind so the mirror doesn't help (without glasses or contacts it's like...what mirror!?). and i'm completely fascinated by the birth process and now can barely remember it (which sometimes is a good thing). I've watched videos of other people but i don't think it's the same.

Just curious, did anyone film their delivery here?

it's funny, I was thinking this too recently.

CnAnA · October 2013

I had a c section and I really wish I could have gotten it filmed. I was pretty stoned on meds though so I didnt think about it. LOL

Mrs.G123 · October 2013

I watched in the mirror and am so glad I did.

Okay, so I'll admit that I was thinking you guys were a little crazy to want to see that but then I realized that I did get to see "from the other end" when my sweet little babe was born. At that moment, he would possibly be our baby or possibly his first mother's baby. So many emotions were running through each of us. I remember thinking, "what if this really is our baby being born right now?! I could be this baby's mom."
I am so thankful everyday I get to be his mom, and I think of my son's first mother constantly and love her with all my heart.
The world is an amazing place.

Omg this is SO moving
Thank you for sharing

I think I'd be interested in watching it... not as much the vaginal parts, I saw my niece being born and that was enough... but I'd be interested to watch myself in labor. I sort of feel like a super hero when I think about Raylan's birth and having an induction without pain meds... and i wish I could have seen myself be that tough. Haha. When I'm having hard days or something hurts I just think to myself that I did that so I'll be fine... but then again it almost seems like a dream, it's hard for me to believe I really did it. KWIM? I'd love to see myself tough it out again, but I'd probably only watch one time, haha.

DH held up video camera over the curtain during my csection and that video is bad ass IMO. I'm pretty obsessed with the birthing process.

CnAnA · October 2013

They let me keep my glasses on in the OR. Next baby (if we have one) I am watching the surgery! Either with a mirror or a video...though I prefer a video.

CnAnA · October 2013

I did.

I definitely didnt "tough it out." Quite the opposite really. But i still want to see it.
