Lay it on us.

I think it is stupid when people refer to themselves as Mommy or Daddy when talking to anyone other than their own children.

JNerd · October 2013

I don't like reese's peanut butter cups.

Passive aggressive b*tches can sucks it - either grow up and act like an adult and deal with it or let it go. Seriously.

I have more but am having a spat with DH (dick head) and am fuming so I can't remember my others.

chaysefaith · October 2013

I hate handprint and footprint art.

erind228 · October 2013

I think jeans are totally uncomfortable. I can't understand why people get so excited to wear them on casual Fridays. Now, if we could wear sweatpants, I'd be all over it.

I don't understand all the fuss about them. They were always my least fav. Mars bars on the other hand, those are my weakness.

People who don't like reese's pb heaven drops can suck it. lol

I love the Kardashians.

I mean, I know they are totally ridiculous and love them in a trainwreck-you-can't-stop-watching-kind-of-way, and I don't want to be them or buy their Krome make-up or Kardashian Kollection stuff, but I can't help watching their television shows or following their gossip and drama. I get so much guilty pleasure out of it.

I agree. I don't wear jeans.

Completely agree. I would wear yoga pants at all times. It annoys my hubby that the minute I get home, I change into yoga pants.

I think people who are all high and mighty about not letting their kids watch TV ever can suck it. Do I put Charlie in front of the tv all day? Absolutely not. Do I think he's not going to get into harvard if I let him watch Jake and the neverland pirates for 10 minutes so I can drink my coffee? No. Relax people.

lucreciac · October 2013

Oh, and I hate Halloween. Completely hate it. I think dressing up is completely corny and stupid. I know I have to pretend to be into it for my son, but really it's awful.

MonaMuse · October 2013

I don't like dark chocolate or white chocolate. Ick!

I love the smell of bleach!

I won't see a movie that has Jennifer Aniston or Reese Witherspoon in it. They get paid WAY too much, they always look like themselves, and their movies always suck. (With the exception of Walk the Line.)

MrsAMB07 · October 2013

I hate the stupid fake mustache trend that keeps popping up. I thought maybe it died down, and today I saw a friend's pics on FB of her son's first birthday where everyone at the party and in all the pics were wearing these awful fake mustaches. I don't get it. Enjoy explaining to your kid why everyone looked like a fool at his first birthday party.

I'm gonna have to disagree w that one. Halloween is my favorite!! You get to dress up and get free candy! Best holiday ever! I do hate that women use it as an excuse to dress slutty. I use it as an excuse to wear my wigs and tiara - its not often grown ups get to play dress up... In public

YES! OMG I cannot stand it. Plus Movember is coming up... a cause that is great, but the mo's everywhere are annoying.

I hate Disney and also Christmas.

My DH loves both, so, we do them. But i feel so creeped out!

ETA: i think it's the plastic comercialism that I associate with both that bothers me.

Blasphemy! I LOVE all things Disney. I go to Disneyland at least once a month and I cannot wait to have a LO so I can do all the fun little kid Disney things again.

I will say though, I am not a fan of the Disney nursery stuff. And I have never liked Winnie the Pooh. I don't know if that's an UO or not, but there ya have it!

Have you done Christmas with kids? That totally changed it for me!! DS1 is just now getting big enough where he understands and he get SOOOO excited!

Maybe try to use the Holiday season as way to teach to give back to others or spend lots of extra family time together.

Kinipela7 · October 2013

I hate Taco Bell and to me it tastes like what I imagine dog food tastes like.

I dare you to watch "Just Go With It" and not laugh your ass off.

akp0709 · October 2013

I think the Bachelor show is terrible! Why would we teach our young women that is perfectly acceptable for a man to kiss/have sex with as many women as he wants, while tell you that he likes you too, in his fake quest for love. If a man loves you, he doesn't need to have sex with the other girl to know whether or not he wants to be with you! Come one ladies! We are worth more than that!

Or when people refer to themselves as mommy or daddy to their dogs. It weirds me out, not sure why just does.

I hate when people post pictures of their three year old in only her underwear on FB or Instagram. There are too many weirdos that have access to those sights.

That's because the grade of food they use is pretty close to what they send to dog food plants. I hate it too!

babyduejune · October 2013

I think people who use the cop out "I will take my Doctor's advice on every subject A-Z because I implicitly trust them" are naive at best, ignorant at worst, and definitely lazy. This is YOUR baby, YOUR body, and both of your health. Doctors aren't God, they are humans who make mistakes- and are oftentimes selfishly motivated even if they are "good people" ... doesn't mean that they won't make (even if subconciously) a selfishly motivated decision or advice which might not be in your/baby's best interest. Educate yourself on the important topics. Form your own opinions. Be an active participant in your healthcare, be your own advocate. There are many, many, subjects where you could ask 10 doctors and get 10 answers. So use the brain God gave you and don't blindly follow your doctor. Sorry for the rant, I'm sure very unpopular because I read this all the time on here. Needed to get that off my chest!

I cannot stand to see a child that is obviously too old with a paci in their mouth!!

I love The Bachelor (even though I rarely watch it anymore) and casually dated someone who made it to the top four on Ali's season (Kirk). Fun fact.

My UO: Husbands are ten times more annoying when pregnant. Oh, wait...UNpopular. Hmm, then I've got nothing.

ETA: spelling.

MississippiCatfish · October 2013

Also, I love Christmas. And Taco Bell. But Taco John's>Taco Bell.

I hate Twilight with a deep and burning passion.

JNerd · October 2013

I hate Twilight with a deep and burning passion.

Yup! That is one of the reasons I have a hard time getting into 50shades - it started as fan fiction based on Edward and Bella and, although I have read it, I had a really hard time getting that out of my head. Totally killed it for me.

The awful writing is what killed 50 shades for me. That and the fact that I'm a vanilla kind of girl with it comes to sex.

To comment on the other UOs...

I LOVE Christmas
I really like Disney
I hate Taco Bell

My UO is probably that I don't really believe that "breast is best". I think there's a lot of La Leche propaganda out there. I both breast fed and formula fed my DD, so I'm not "opposed" to breastfeeding, I just don't think it's that big of a deal if women don't choose or are unable to do it. I think science has caught up.

I mean... no, in 20 years you won't be able to look at a group in people and point out which person was breastfed and which was formula fed. But I do think there is truth to the breast is best thing when it comes to little babies. You can give your child a lot more immunity, for one thing. I FF DS because I didn't really have a choice. It works for us and I'm grateful but BFing would have helped his immune system.

I disagree with this. I think it's one of the beautiful things about our bodies and that science won't ever completely catch up, at least with the immunity properties.

But I DO believe that there is nothing wrong with formula feeding if that's what's best for your family or if you're unable to breastfeed!! Just because formula isn't as good (my opinion) doesn't mean that formula is bad at all.

I side-eye the hell out of grandparents who "have to decide what they want to be called" when they're becoming grandparents. It's a really common thing to do in the south that I was unfamiliar with until recently. My niece's other grandma and grandpa are called Kiki and Poppi. What the what?! I can get behind Grandmom, Papa, etc. But KIKI!?!

My ILs did this. First they wanted to be Coaxie and Beanie, then my FIL wanted to be Governor Popo (seriously). Guess what? My daughter made up her own names, just like every other kid. She calls them Mama and Papa.
