Regarding the term "baby daddy".... I don't know what words to use for my ex boyfriend of 4 years who got me pregnant and dumps me because I want to keep my baby? Sperm doner? Kind of raw. Baby daddy sounds like a daddy who has some kind connection besides getting me pregnant. Any other way of referring to someone like that?

Sperm donor... POS.... Biological father.. To name a few.

A dad in my opinion is someone who is there for his children. Anyone can be a father... It takes a special man to be a dad. But my opinion may be skewed because my "father" is a douche. And my daughters sperm donar is just that. I would be damned to call either one if them a dad.

I hate, hate, HATE bacon!

Now, soft pretzels on the other hand are yummy

Honestly, you should just do what I do. I say he is LO's father/dad. Because that's what he is. I've found that bringing attention to the fact that he isn't really here for me or LO, doesn't do anything but make ME feel like shit.

As for the whole baby daddy UO, introducing someone as the "baby daddy" or sperm donor(unless that's really what they are) is childish. It makes the mother sound bitter, bitchy and uneducated. That is never the impression you want to give. Just my 0.02

Edit:wrong word

I'm bitter and bitchy... And I'm ok with that! I'm educated though. I just have no respect for the "man" so it's hard for me to give him a title he has never earned. My dds dad is not her biological father and had absolutely no reason to be a dad but he chose to. He earned the title of a dad in my eyes.

I read through this entire thread and now I don't remember my UO. Also, I give gifts at weddings, it's what we do around here since gasp, we do the dollar dance to give cash. (One of my step-dad's friends gave $50 bucks to dance with me. I was honored)

That being said, I do respect cultural differences and understand that people are more of a to each their own type of thing.

People who are afraid to drive in "weather" should not move to places like Colorado. I hate it when it rains or snows and people go 10 mph because they are scared. It's ok. It's just moisture.

To tag on to that....4 wheel drive does not equal 4 wheel stop. Just because you drive a Hummer doesn't mean you can ride my ass. I will laugh when you speed up to that red light and slide through it because you're a moron.

Piggybacking off of this:
People who are afraid to drive in weather shouldn't drive at all. It pisses me off. Same goes to asshats who speed in extreme weather conditions. They put everyone else in danger.

I can't stand it when someone calls their SO (not married) their husband or wife. NO you have not made that commitment . I am not saying they are not comitted to each other. I just stood in front of family and friends and promised to love and cherish this person forever. We took that step in our relationship, you have not yet. I find it to be a slap in the face. I know it doesn't take away from my marriage, but it pisses me off.

First, @1ofme4ofthem, I appreciate your grace in listening to others reactions to your post. However, I think I agree with the sentiment of your first post, and would like to try to express my opinion on this.

I do not appreciate it when boyfriend/girlfriends refer to the other half as their spouse when they are just not committed to one another. I have seen this come up over and over again. I have known several people refer to their "hubby" when they are just casually dating, and it is annoying. I have also know women in monogamous committed relationships, but who are just not to that step yet refer to their "hubby."

I cannot speak for 1ofme4of them, but I am NOT talking about same-sex committed couples, those who do not believe in marriage, or any other extenuating circumstances. I am talking about people who just casually use the term husband or wife to refer to the other half of the couple as if it were no big deal.

I know a lot of committed couples, who are not married, for a variety of reasons and I fully respect them, and their reasons. I also know a lot of not so committed couples who do exactly what 1ofme4ofthem said, and it is irritating.

@RondackHiker- As for your examples, I am not talking about people in any of your examples. (FYI- Common law marriage is very misunderstood, and actually does not even exist in most states.)

I think the distinction here is not committed. Marriage and more importantly the commitment it represents is serious business, and it is insulting when people who are not committed throw those words around. Particularly, IMO, to
those who cannot legally get married.

I wish I had your mouth

My UO:
If you tailgate another car, while I'm in the car with you, I will call you on it. Call me what you want. I drive sensibly and I don't appreciate you putting me in danger just because you thought the tailgating portion of your driver's training was optional.

I think all seafood is disgusting. (I'm allergic to shell fish, but I mean everything else is too. ) X_X

I absolutely hate planes. I refuse to ever get on them again.

My TRULY unpopular opinion is that I hate the abbreviations used on this board. Namely DH, DD, and DS. I get that you're saving time, but you couldn't be saving much unless you're just extremely slow at typing, and it's just an irritant to me. But I am clearly in the minority since EVERYONE on this website uses them besides me! lol

Also I don't think Ryan Gosling is very attractive. I like him in "The Notebook" but he has annoyed me in a lot of his other movies ("Drive" to be specific).

Kendra Beam · October 2013

Oh, and I think someone else said this, but I HATE those giant bows on baby's heads. Especially the flower ones. Babies are cute enough without that tacky crap.

I feel you on the dad thing. My biological father sucks. He definitely doesn't deserve my respect. I just honestly HATE how women (or men) who use those terms make themselves look. My son's father is who he is. That was my choice. Did I know at the time? Nope. But I can't be mad at someone for side eyeing me if I call him "baby daddy". It sounds horrible to me. And the sperm donor thing strikes a nerve with me simply because I know a man who donated sperm to a couple who couldn't have kids on their own. It really bothers him to hear someone being referred to as sperm donor because they aren't there. And I completely get that.

I also don't like when wives call their husbands by the full name when no one else does. ie: everyone in the free world calls your husband Steve and you will only call him Steven. You sound like his mother, and that's never a good look on a wife.
Or maybe he likes it when she calls him Steven. Or they don't like cutesy names but like having a "special" name for each other. What a strange thing to judge. And it's strange to associate calling someone their full name with being a mom.

I agree. My uncle's second wife calls him Thomas and everyone else in the world calls him Tom. I think it's adorable - it's their thing. He calls her Rebecca instead of Becky like we all do too.

This is us. I call him by his full name and no one else, not even his mother, does. It's always kind of been our thing and he likes it that I call him by his full name. I didn't ever do it on purpose, it just kind of happened. And stuck.

@OutOfStep81 - I've tried - believe me I get an earful about my bacon hatred - to get over this aversion, I just can't. It's overly salty, smokey, fatty, yucky!!! Funniest part is, there is an annual bacon festival in June where I work, and I was feeling sick all that week - of course. Thought it was the bacon making me ill, turned I was 5 weeks pregnant

1. What people call their partners has no effect on me. (SO, hubby, wifey, full name, pet name, etc). I, sadly, know of many "officially married" couples who are NOT committed to each other.

2. I hate "A Christmas Story" and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer." I find both movies annoying, racist, and sexist.

3. My dog and I have a similar UO: if it is outside, without a leash, and under 25lbs = it's a squirrel. (I won't let him chase cats or tiny dogs...but he wants to!!!)

4. If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to go out to a tipped establishment. Go to McDonalds. And just because you were "unaware" of how much something cost does NOT make it okay. If you fight with your friend/co-worker/client about who "gets" to pay, know that includes tip. (And yes, it would be great if all employers if tipped establishments payed a livable salary to their employees so no tips were necessary. I agree with you. That doesn't help pay my doctors bills right now.)

Winnieella · October 2013

Going off of the driving in certain kinds of weather..the first time I drove in snow I was super scared. I had also just gotten my temps, so it was my first time driving. My brother's friend took me out in his porsche (he had just gotten back from over seas and spent his money on that) and I got it stuck in a snow bank. Thankfully, he didn't yell at me, but taught me how to get out with out crying. Anyways, I do agree, if someone is afraid to drive in winter weather or rain, they shouldn't be driving.

Also, what about those of us who don't eat bacon because it isn't kosher? Or...if you are a weirdo like me, can't digest it with out getting super sick. I love the smell of it, but I literally cannot eat it without ending up in the ER

There are so many movies like that. I just watched Dumbo with my 3 year old. Wow. That is probably the most effed up kids movie ever. I had no idea watching it 25 years ago though.

It's crazy how they sneak things in. I'm assuming you've heard of the subliminal messages Disney used to put in their movies?

I have a new one!

We are in the USA. I understand, melting pot, all that good stuff. I don't have a problem with people who immigrate here and have thick accents. I really don't. Most of them are awesome, just like most people in general are awesome.
But I don't think those people have any right to get mad at me when I can't understand them and need them to repeat what they're saying 2-3 times. You're clearly still learning English and have to know that you have a thick accent and are hard to understand. It's not my fault that I can't understand you! I'm trying as hard as I can!

No, don't ruin Disney for me.
Lol well I won't tell you if you don't already know, but I thought it was common knowledge at this point.

I know, I just chose to now pay attention to it.

We are in the USA. I understand, melting pot, all that good stuff. I don't have a problem with people who immigrate here and have thick accents. I really don't. Most of them are awesome, just like most people in general are awesome.

Agreed. If I don't get mad at you for being incomprehensible, then you shouldn't get mad at me for having a hard time understanding you.

I wouldn't go to a foreign country and get mad at them for not being able to understand me.
