My favorite day of the week!

Let's hear them, ladies...

psychdoc12 · December 2013

I've been on maternity leave for 12 weeks and I still believe that holding down a full-time job is harder than being a SAHM. That's of one, of course. I know it gets exponentially harder with more children.

Babies are pretty easy at this age. Mostly because they stay where you put them. Once they are mobile, it's a whole new ballgame.

Sometimes I actually enjoy when LO wakes up to eat during the night. It's like special mommy/son time where we are completely alone and the only ones awake. I love staring at him and just bonding with him during those 20 minute feelings. This is why, even though DH has offered to get up as much as I need him to, I don't let him lol.

I know that it works for a lot of people, but co-sleeping terrifies me.

I don't care how many websites people post about ways to make bedsharing safe, I don't believe it's ever safe.

I think UGGS are horrendous and shouldn't be worn by adults. Why spend $150 bucks on an ugly pair of fur boots when you can drop that dough on a cute pair of leather boots.

kellyk17 · December 2013

@babylolo13 Yes! Someone bought me pink baby uggs, very generous but barf!

Because they are warm and comfy. I have Ugg like boots. They always keep my feet warm, even yesterday at -5 degrees out. I also have a pair of leather boots. Not as comfy, not as warm.

Everyone told me I would feel this way but I totally don't. I feel pretty bad mommy guilt about it.

Eta: that's really a confession, whatever.

I have two pairs that I am completely over wearing, but my cute Steve Madden boots seem to have shrunk around my calf area since being pregnant :-/

I don't like Sons of Anarchy OR The Walking Dead.

acethebase · December 2013

I hate when people pencil in their eyebrows. I mean if its done right you can't even tell but then there's other times where it just looks tacky as hell.

I also have ugg-like boots (no way I'm I spending that much) not for style but for comfort. Regular or stylish leather boots aren't very warm. I like my toes and would like to keep them.

It's 3 degrees here right now and today is the warmest it's been in over a week.

Ha! I read your post as this "pound" will always be pound to me. Took me a sec to realize you were referring to hash tag.

Ballstategrad · December 2013

My UO- I think it is shortsighted to put your kids' photos online for the world to see. Many of you will disagree, obvi, but I don't want my children to find photos of them unexpectedly someday and wonder wtf I was thinking. I think it's unfair to them. I mean, we don't know what future media technologies will be developed and how what we share now can be misused later.

Don't hate, I wish I could be more comfortable with it, especially when we're all sharing pics of cute babies, I wanna play too!!

Same here. When people first starting saying hashtag, I was like WTF is that? It took my 11year old sister explaining it to me for me to finally understand. What has this world come to?

Why would they care if they found pictures of themselves?

I seriously hide annoying couples on FB. The ones who always take selfies together and on a daily basis write on each other's FB walls about how lucky they are and how much they love each other. You know how I tell my hubby I love him, I look at him and tell him. Of course the exceptions to this rule is the couples who are apart, for extended periods of time. But not every day people.

Also most reality TV is trash unless you have to make or create something like Project Runway or Face Off. I even hate all these singing shows, but the Sing Off is Aca-Awesome.

Sorry for any typos. I am running off like 2 hrs of sleep.

All of this! My FB "friends" are all pissed I don't plaster my wall with pics of LO. One even joked that he was "breathtaking" (from Seinfeld) and that it why I wasn't posting pics. No, I just don't want to fill everyone's newsfeed with AWish posts. My baby is totes adorbs thankyouverymuch. Totes ma goats.

And I am addicted to The Sing-off! But my UO about it is I hate the new Ultimate Sing-off. It seems way too planned and staged. Also, bring back the Swan Song!

Izzies · December 2013

I don't even fully understand why every uses it followed by random words! I know it has something to so with twitter but DH and I are lost. I'm going to have one of my younger siblings explain it to me :-/

acethebase · December 2013

I have another that I'm sure many of you will disagree with but here it goes: I think spending a ton of money on a wedding is ridiculous! Personally I'd rather spend that money on an awesome honeymoon, car, house ...etc. And people always say well its the best day of your life, well yeah it will be regardless because your marrying your best friend not because you have all these fancy overpriced things. Of course is you have money to blow then blow away.

I love Face Off! Didn't know what I was missing until they started running marathons while I was snuggling LO. I'm sure they did that just for me.

I roll my eyes when women say that men do household chore or baby care things "wrong." No wonder they don't offer to help when they have someone correcting them or hovering over them to see if they'll mess up. You can't change a diaper wrong, if it hold in poop and pee what does it matter?! Who freaking cares if they dress their child in polka dots with stripes?! Just because he isn't doing it how you do it doesn't mean it's wrong. Give the guy a break, he's contributing!

I agree with the exception of the diaper. This is incorrect.

taylormarie923 · December 2013

Uggs - comfort beats style any day.
# - hashtags can make regular sentences funny, but it will always be a pound sign to me too.
Baby photos on fb - pretty sure fb will be nonexistent by the time my kid cares.

My UO: speaking of football fans, I hate fans that only watch their team and know nothing about what's going on around the league, what conference they're in, who is in the division, how schedules are made, etc. if you're going to follow a team, you have to follow all of them to know what's going on. When I hear someone say "it would be so cool to see the patriots play the steelers in the Super Bowl!" I die a little inside.

Could not agree more. We basically eloped and got married in the Australian version of a courthouse. We had a FANTASTIC dinner with family and friends....I have never felt like I missed out on ANYTHING

Yes... BUT... my weird obsession with neatly folded clothes gets murdered by my DH. He folds shirts differently than I do and is really sloppy with his folding. It kills me when the shirt piles are all sorts of jacked. Call me cray cray. But I fold the laundry by choice.

Palereadhead · December 2013

My UO is kinda icky, but I have always been grossed out by anal. Heebie geebies.

Also, body builders are gross ~ I just don't care for all the muscles.

You think Uggs are fugly, don't get me started on Crocs. . .

Maybe they won't. But maybe they will, their decision, not mine.

Dd1 is 5 and recently my niece showed her a Facebook photo of the two of them. Dd1 was kinda weirded out and wondered who all would see her online. She wanted to know who all my Facebook friends are so she knew who saw photos of her.

I still don't know. I came in picked her up and thought WOW she is really wet and this is what I found. It worked for the most part. And I got a few extra minutes of sleep and a good laugh.

What THE fuck makes you think that first part is going to be unpopular?! Geez.

Maybe it is something in the water, or most likely just the females I have surrounded myself with throughout the years - I have never met anyone, when conversation has come up, that feels the way I do. I admit, I'm fond of weirdos most of the time.

I also loathe the couples on Facebook who share a page. As in, JaneandJoe Schmo. Ugh.

Homcrn · December 2013

I hate the word "totes". I do not care if you are using it sarcastically or using it because you like it. It makes me think you are uneducated and live in your junior high days!

emmylou78 · December 2013

To those that are fans of Uggs: just don't break an ankle in them. One girl had to get one cut off in the ER. Cutting off a $150 shoe would make me cry, but the male nurse that did it showed no mercy.

My UO: I hate the word hubs. Way too many people say it. And if it's an abbreviation, it'd be husbs anyway. Also calling your "hubs" your best friend. "I'm marrying my best friend!" Puke.

So agree. My husband is a Dallas fan and I'm a Redskins fan. Obviously in the same flipping division. A friend who is a "die hard football fan" asked what we would do if they played in the superbowl against each other? Face.Palm. Not that my Redskins are eveerrr going to make it the superbowl though.. hahaha.

But.. It's like walking on pillows! Lol, I own a pair of completely sequin covered uggs. They may be ugly to some, but dang they are comfy and warm. Like wrapping sheep around your feet.

For reals. The only problem I have is the lack of traction. If I get snow packed on them and then step out of my car onto our garage floor I almost eat shit every time.
