I don't see the big deal over coconut oil. I bought some, used it, and there was zero difference in LOs skin. I've used it in a few recipes but don't see what the big deal is.

I didn't read the article in GQ, but I don't understand why everyone is shocked that Phil Robertson (Duck Dynasty) believes that being gay is a sin. From what I read he also said promiscuity and drinking is a sin too. I don't agree with him, but I am not shocked by this at all. I think it's another thing the media takes and runs with it. Who cares what he thinks anyway?

I hate dressing DD in "outfits" and I only do it if we're going somewhere or taking pictures. I think sleepers are a thousand times easier to deal with and I don't care that she wears her "jammies" all day.

ocnfish4 · December 2013

I hate Duck Dynasty. I do not understand how it became such a huge thing.

I don't understand all the hype around Anchorman 2. I didn't like the 1st one either.

I think it's stupid to get your kid(s) all dressed up in a fancy Christmas outfit to have their photos taken with Santa. I'd rather take a normal photo in nice clothes that I don't mind having displayed in my house year-round. Not one with a creepy mall Santa.

I think kids should have chores as soon as they are able to follow directions. My daughter and son
Both had chores starting at age 4. Not a ton but enough to teach them responsibilty. Now they have more since they are older.

I don't like when people refer to baby boys as 'little man'. I have no explanation as to why I hate it but it drives me crazy when I hear it.

Side note: My MIL calls DS "Mr. Big". It makes me want to scream. He is not a character from Sex and the City.

I say my son looks like a little man when he's dressed up. I say this because he looks like a shrunken old guy who I imagine is retired and wears suspenders daily.

I think it's disgusting to let your animals on your furniture. My dogs roll around in the dirt. Why I would want that on my couch or bed. Gross.

Ew, I agree. Not as much about the furniture, but letting the dog sleep in your bed? Gross. I also don't like dogs, though.

We let our cat sleep on our bed when we had one. She had to be put to sleep, and we didn't get another one because I don't like the thought of animals around babies.

Isn't this the norm? I figured most parents did this, lol. DD has only been in an outfit a handful of times. I feel like she's very comfy in sleepers.

I think Greys Anatomy is dragging on for to long. I absolutely love greys, it's my favourite show, I just think they have no story line anymore....there's not much suspense like their used to be.

I hate when people have their feet as their avatars or sig pics. Disgusts me the eff out especially when they're gross and haven't seen grooming in this century. I hate vague booking posts on here. Don't hint around of don't post. I'm in a great mood today.

Call someone out directly or you're being a hypocrite.

averettgirl · December 2013

I'm ready to kill my husband. That may not meet criteria for an UO but I just wanted to share. Also, I don't get the big deal about rice cereal. As far as I'm concerned my breast milk fulfills all of my baby's needs so why would I need to add anything to it, especially just to make her sleep longer. I feel like I'd be messing with her natural rhythm. She always wants to eat at 3 am and I'm not going to mess with that. I will nurse her at 3 am until she decides she doesn't need to eat at 3am anymore. I signed up for this breastfeeding thing, I love doing it and I'm not supplementing with anything until she can have solids.

happybride 276 · December 2013

I let our dogs sleep in bed with us and let them on the furniture. We wipe their feet off after they come inside and I wipe their butts after a poo. They also get a bath every weekend. They are probably cleaner than most of the people I work with.

ajbook · December 2013

I'm okay with letting LO CIO for up to 5 minutes before tending to her. It usually only takes 4 minutes for her to get calmed down and to fall asleep.

I always get LO dressed after her first feed. Nothing fancy, just a onesie and stretchy pants. I try to get out of the house at least once a day and don't want to take her out in a sleeper.

My daughter really only wears onesies... No pants, no accessories (it's always warm where I live)... I just had a "conversation" with her, asking if she just wanted to wear jammies all day, since she's a baby and babies can do whatever they want.

My UO- I like MOTN feedings. It's dark in her room, quiet & peaceful. She's such a sweet little thing when she's sleepy. Plus, they only take me about 20 min from pick up to put down, so maybe that's why I love it.

I enjoy them for the same reasons. Plus, the snuggles are great!

I would rather hit a person with my car than an animal.

It annoyed me when I saw a post on here about a lady who wanted to stop breast-feeding but felt like she wouldn't be able to bond as well if she wasn't breast-feeding. Us formula feeding moms bond as well believe it or not.

Sometimes I feel like I'm force feeding lo the boob. He likes bottles and boobs just the same and I feel like we bond much more when were chatting w each other then when he's half asleep nibbling on me.

I don't understand how anyone can just stand idly by while their young baby cries.

Even if I wanted to, I don't think I could physically handle it. When DS cries my heart starts racing and I go into panic mode.

E doesn't cry much. Maybe once a day and he's usually pretty upset or hurt when it happens, so CIO is not a thing in my house at this point. Not to say he's happy all the time, he does fuss and he "yells" at us in squeaky yelps when he doesn't like something.

It's more like "fuss it out" for us and even then when he's really fussing at night in his crib it usually means he needs to burp so I usually try to get there pretty quickly to burp him before he pukes all over his sheets and rubs his face in it because that's unpleasant. He'll go right back to sleep after burping him.

Every baby is an individual and you know them the best, do what works for you and as long as you're happy and the baby is happy, I think things will be fine.

I don't see the appeal of CDing except that the diapers are cuter. I'm perfectly happy to toss stinky diapers in the garbage. If it's your thing, cool, I just don't get it.

HBirdie · December 2013

I think this whole attachment parenting/unparenting movement has gone too far. Yes, children are worthy of respect, but no, they are not mini-adults who should be allowed to make their own decisions all the time. They need to be disciplined and they need to be taught how to function in the adult world. Grow up and be a damn parent.

HBirdie · December 2013

Umm, also, animals are not people. I'd much rather hit an animal with my car than a person. I love animals, I really do. But seriously?

I could say the same things about disposables. I can't see why anyone would want to throw away thousands of dollars on something for baby to shit in and then you toss it in the trash. Then of course there are the environmental and health ramifications that I won't even get into.

Yeah, disposables... I don't get it at all. Probably a real UO.

I couldn't care less that others use sposies. I personally use cloth because it will save me almost $2k, I can use the same ones from birth to potty training, better for the environment, DD breaks out in a rash in sposies, cloth are cuter, I love doing laundry, sposies smell awful, and it's all around better for her bum.

______________________________
I get panicky too. DD only cries when something is wrong or she needs to be comforted. I just can't let her CIO. Doesn't make sense for us.

This makes me want to hug you. Please tell my SIL this because I'm too much of a wimp to say something myself.

And disposables stink so much! One time I used them, I was convinced DS pooped but it was just the disposable.

Yup. LO is in disposables right now because of a yeast type rash that needs a prescription cream. It's killing me to have her in sposies. They stink and the blowouts are huge. Poop goes everywhere. I never get poop up her back and in the front with cloth.

So, I'm not the only one? My husband thinks I'm insane because when my daughter cries I act like a mad woman until she's calm. I just hate when she cries. She rarely ever does because I tend to her the second she starts fussing. I never understood CIO tactics. My job as a mom is to fulfill my babys needs..and I don't think it's spoiling at all. Maybe I'll regret this when she's 2...^.^

I thought of another, I love wrapping Christmas presents with all my heart. Or any presents. Or just anything. I look for reasons throughout the year to wrap things.

Can you explain? A person, with a family, possibly little children and a spouse and parents and siblings that love them, rather than an animal?!. Don't get me wrong, I love animals too but.... Like @HBirdie said SERIOUSLY?!

You both are welcome to come to my house to wrap our gifts. I hate wrapping. I guess I need to get gifts to have something to wrap first though.

This! But I hit a fox one time and it screamed like a person. I had nightmares about it for a while. But this does answer the question "what does the fox say?"

I would love to have the option to not let my baby girl cry it out, but unfortunately that would mean that she would never ever go to sleep! Every child is different, mine cries a lot...She has from the day she was born, so we have had to figure out which cries are something wrong and which isn't! It doesn't make anyone a bad parent either way....Parenting is about whatever works best for you and your child, there is no one way that is the right way!

I don't let her scream her head off or anything. She cries every time I lay her down for a nap (even if I lay her down asleep) and every time she wakes herself up before she's ready. It started as me needing a break, but I learned that's just how she is. We are both happier if I give her time to cry. If she gets upset I get her immediately.
