    As I posted yesterday, I hate watching movies.

    That reminds me of the girl from Pitch Perfect (which you probably wouldn't get because you don't like movies!)

    Yeah, I think it's kind of tacky looking.

    I think Christmas Canon is THE worst Christmas song. They took Pachelbel's Canon in D Major, which is beautiful, and completely shit all over it.

    I'm at ease too @melHOdy.  Having lost a cousin to SIDS I'm sleeping better with my video monitor.  Having mine broken has increase my anxiety times 10!

    @BC&LM having a global perspective is what will make a person successful, limiting that, for any reason hurts everyone. Woodrow Wilson tried isolationism in the 30s, and clearly we all remember him as our greatest president...*sarcasm*

    Exactly!

    I'm sure this will be controversial but here goes: I don't like when people use religion as an excuse to try to get out of legitimate schoolwork. For instance, kids might say they can't read The Crucible because witchcraft is against their religion. Um, that play isn't really about witchcraft. It's about mass hysteria and people being wrongly accused of being something they are not. Another example would be saying you can't learn about different cultures and religions in history class because they aren't your religion. History class doesn't teach you to believe in a particular religion; it teaches you what the rest of the world is like and what they believe.
    I'm glad you posted this. I have been hesitant to post this UO because I was afraid of the response, but here it is - organized religion makes me uncomfortable. Please hear me out. I have always been an inquisitive person, and growing up I remember asking my rabbi a lot of questions about why we couldn't do certain things. The answers "turned me off" so to speak and I lost my relationship with the temple as I grew up. Since then I've been to some reform temples where I felt more comfortable and much more enjoyed the services, but it never found its place in my life again. I have a lot of very religious friends and I'm very interested in other religions and their beliefs. But I do have a hard time understanding certain things. I say this not out of intolerance at all, because if you knew me you'd know how accepting I am. For example, a friend of mine recently got into a very difficult program at school. She told me the first thing she did was went to church to light a candle and pray to thank God for giving her the opportunity. My thought was, shouldn't you give yourself a pat on the back too for all your hard work and perseverance? We got into a discussion and her husband asked how we were raising Jackson. We said we are raising him with traditions from both of our religions (I really think maintaining the cultural aspect is important) and he said, "well if you can raise your kid to have a moral compass without God in his life, kudos to you." Wtf. That is NOT what I said, and that kind of intolerance completely turns me off. Again, I know 95% of you will disagree with me. But to each his own. I'm just not into anyone pushing anything on me and that's what my experiences have been most of my life.
    @violet1183 My husband is like this.  He is Christian and believes and God and Jesus, but he hates church.  Refuses to go.  He doesn't think it's bad that I go or that I take Lily, but he won't go.  He feels that the church is full of hypocrites and doesn't want to be a part of it.

    I don't see the need for video monitors and snuzas and the whole 9 yards. I'm plenty paranoid and check on Lilly throughout the night but these gadgets seem to make you ladies cextra nervous rather than put you at ease.

    Unpopular! Love my Snuza! I don't see the need for video monitors in a small house like mine, but I could see why others would want them, especially in a large house.

    Mine actually puts me at ease. He rolls on his stomach now and I'd probably be checking him 10xs a night if it wasn't for the Snuza. Yes, I'm plenty paranoid :)
    Exactly this! He's in his crib now, and he doesn't roll to his stomach all the time, but way too often for my liking.

    @nykkollaughs, did you stay in room or leave? I am trying and nothing is working. I am ok with fussing and light crying, he just sometimes escalates to the hard crying where he stops breathing and then he quickly gets picked up.

    I actually let John sleep on his belly. He wakes instantly when we try and put him on his back, but when we put him down on his belly, he stays asleep. When he allowed us to put him on his back, he would roll almost instantly to his belly anyways. I'm not worried about him sleeping on his belly. Maybe I should save this for tomorrow. Lol. I love the video monitor. Mainly to see if he's upset because he's wiggling and trying to get comfy to fall back asleep, or if he's actually awake.

    @nykkolaughs, thanks for posting that we are going to start sleep training after the holidays. I can't keep holding him for every nap I need some "me time".

    My UO, based on a convo I saw last week, is I love Southpark. I think it's hilarious. I love how they make the episode in a week so they are able to make fun of current events.

    I like movies, don't have a video monitor but it's because I don't need one... Maybe if I did I would want one, no snuza, I don't think sleep training is an UO anymore now that our lo's are older, snl is great.

    I love sleep training SO HARD.

    We've been cosleeping since day one, but since Ella no longer nurses MOTN and I'm over her only falling asleep on me or in her swing, I took action. Put her in her crib Christmas Eve, she cried for 3 minutes, I consoled her for 1 minute, she cried for 30 seconds and then SLEPT FOR TEN HOURS. We did all her naps this way yesterday and she reacted the same way! And last night she slept for 10 hours again.

    And when she gets up from her nap/sleep she still loves me and smiles and doesn't think I'm a horrible mother for letting her work through this on her own.

    Are you putting her down sleepy or awake? E isn't horrible to put to bed most nights but here lately she's been wanting to stay up later than normal.

    We've tried getting Grayson in his crib for the last couple weeks. Some nights go great and others are a nightmare. He won't go to sleep in his crib if we put him down awake so I have to either rock him to sleep or lay down with him in my bed and pat his back and then move him when he's asleep...which means sometimes he wakes up...I just don't know what else to do and I'm at my wits end. Naps are a whole other story :/

    Lily sleeps in her crib for part of the night, but the other part is cosleeping with us.  I like it because it keeps H on his side of the bed.  Otherwise, he crowds in to the middle and gives me very little room.  An infant is easier to move than a grown man.

    I dont really watch it now but i used to be obsessed back in the day. Starvin Marvin, Mr Hanky etc etc circa 1999?

    It was definitely a lot better back then.

    I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I am annoyed with some of my childless friends who have been MIA since I had Beckett. I am annoyed that as soon as they get pregnant they will likely want to be close again and discuss all things baby. They will need to join the bump and learn from internet friends and strangers like I did.

    ETA these are friends who are not trying to conceive to the best of my knowledge, if a friend was struggling with conceiving I would feel differently and could understand the distance.
