and another one... i'm on a roll now!!

super over-themed or matchy nurseries are so very unappealing.

let's just keep on going.....

i don't care how "not drunk" you are after putting back a few... you are still an asshole if you get behind a wheel after a night of drinking no matter how safe you personally feel. don't do it, ever. EVER.

I have no idea why adults go tot Disney land/world/cruises w/o kids. TOTALLY weirds me out too.

Our cat is like a kid to us and will still be like a kid to us after baby's born.

Sorry, not sorry.

waffles>french toast>pancakes

I'll have to disagree with you on this one.

Deep fried banana stuffed french toast > french toast > waffles > pancakes.

Now I need to dig up my recipe for that french toast... Maybe DH will let me make it for dinner tomorrow?

strawberrytree · January 2014

My UO is that I don't like French toast at all.

tamaraaaa · January 2014

We went to Disney last year and I was SO excited... Whomp whomp. It stunk. I'm not there to buy myself Mickey ears and wait for 30 minutes to ride a slow moving boat with creepy characters in different scenes. PS: do you know how many "rides" are seriously just that?! It's ridiculous.

Anyways, I do look forward to bringing a kid because they are in love with it all and so excited... I could watch kids at Disney all day long.

I plan on never giving my child maple syrup, hoping they will never want it. I hate the smell, I hate the sticky fingers and face---and well I just actually despise pancakes in general. Family breakfasts at my house will be egg burritos and breakfast sandwiches--- and occasionally cold pizza.
Not super controversial- but something I am very passionate about.

This might actually be illegal in Canada. And for reals, if any of you are eating that blasphemous fake 'syrup' in plastic bottles I've seen in the US, that's disgusting. Have a taste of some real, pure Canadian maple syrup and tell me that's not an orgasm in your mouth. Mmmm

DH's family is from New Brunswick, so fake syrup is totally not allowed. Every time they go they bring back maple syrup and, my personal fave, maple butter.... yummmmm....

It bothers me when people refer to their pets as the siblings of their actual children. My brother does this, and it always bothers me! I love my dog ad take good care of him, he's part of the family, but he's not an equal to my children, I'm sorry.

Ugh I SO agree with this. I think it is so weird! Or when people say their new puppy is preparing them for what it's like to have a baby bc it wakes them up to go outside early in the morning or the middle of the night or whatever. Um, no. Just... no. Having a puppy is not like having a baby. at all.

I totally tell our dog, DC, that she's going to have a little sister. That said, I don't actually think she's a human... Obviously people don't think they're actually like siblings. :-S

---------- Mmmm. Maple anything! My family still lives in Québec and my favourite part of visiting in the winter is maple taffy (Tire d'érable in French). For those who aren't familiar, you pour boiled maple sap right on a stick over ice. It semi-freezes it and you eat it like a melty maple Popsicle. Amazeballs.

I want that. Maybe I'll go home and heat up some maple syrup and do that with the snow outside?

Also, DH hates maple syrup. I have a bottle in the fridge for me, and he sticks with Mrs. Butterworth. Fine with me - I don't have to share!

I think having a dog helps prep for parenthood-- a lot of my petless friend have never cleaned up vomit and diarrhea off their nice rugs (numerous times); have the responsibility of taking your dog out in the cold weather when you just want to stay in bed; or had to drop 1K at the consumption of a $3 dark chocolate candy bar! It may not be the same as a baby but it's more prep than not having to worry about anyone but yourself!

dani+california My MIL actually prefers the fake Aunt Jemima crap to real maple syrup. It boggles my mind. I can't even understand it at all. We buy a year's supply of maple syrup from a maple syrup farm every year and we love it!

I guess to throw in my UO....I can't stand television in general, unless it's a sporting event. I am a fan of all sports, that's my "reality" tv, since the other BS that is advertised as "reality" is really just crap television that so many people feed off of. Can't. Stand. It. At. All.

I am a FTM and love Disney! I drag DH there every year or two.

That said, we are not wearing Mickey ears and waiting in line for Dumbo. We go up for things like the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. Also, we only live a couple hours away, so it's never our big vacation choice for the year - more like a quick weekend getaway.

I hate the word 'titties'

Yep. SIL's husband taught that word to their daughter, who will be two in a couple months. She is still breastfeeding (no opinion one way or another there), but she now has an almost two-year-old running around in public yelling that she wants "titties" all the time - and MIL thinks it's hilarious.

DH has been threatened with his life if he ever introduces that word into our house (not that he ever uses it, so we should be ok).

JoelleOK · January 2014

I have a couple of Facebook friends that are each "friends" with several terminally ill toddlers. I don't understand following the health updates of dying children that you have never met and don't know anybody in their family.

It a bit different when you are giving "likes" to cheer up a 10 year old having another round of chemo. They understand social media. An 18 month old's picture looking terrible after an invasive medical procedure? Why would the parents put that out there? Why not simply post "please pray for baby girl that her levels increase"?

Andrewsgal · January 2014

I think anyone that thinks pets are good preparation for having kids are in for a shock.

Twirple · January 2014

Mine is an expansion on the pets as kids thing. I hate when people take their lap dog into public places. You don't see people taking their Labrador or Great Dane into the grocery store, so why do you think it is OK to take your Maltese? If you want to take your dog into a public place for socialization, take them to Petco.

(Clearly this rant does not apply to service animals, but if your teacup poodle can detect your seizures, it needs to be wearing an appropriate vest.)

I love yard sales and hate mint in anything but gum and toothpaste.

eireyes · January 2014

I hate that all the Super Bowl commercials come out now before the Super Bowl. I like football, and will watch the game for the game and not the commercials, but dammit, the commercials make it so much more fun!

Real syrup is awesome- the other crap is just that, crap.

We absolutely use real names for genitalia.

I think gaming is great. Being outside or playing with toys is better.

My UO: the FB and twitter age has given people the idea that its okay to say horribly offensive and disrespectful things to the President of the United States. No matter if you agree with the office or not that position deserves respect. I immediately assume you are an uneducated asshole if you start talking out of your ass insulting the President. Dont agree with him, fine-awesome- whatever. But know your shit well enough to civilly discuss why that is.

I hate cartoons all together. Animated movies are okay, and when I watch them I usually like them, but I've never purchased/watched one on purpose (without someone else asking me to watch with them). This is going to suck for my child.

I hate when grown adults have obsessions with childish things. My MIL has a serious love for Tinkerbell. Dear Jesus, please let my baby girl avoid getting any Disney or Tinkerbell related items from grandma. Or another friend obsessed with Hello Kitty. C'mon people.

I LOVE SNOW! I just shoveled and it was lovely. Here's my back yard this morning...it's beautiful and makes me happy inside:

J&NL · January 2014

I love Disney. More so Epcot for myself because it is definitely more for adults and magic/animal kingdom for DD. However, XH's family lives in orlando and can get in for free so she goes almost every time she visits them. I secretly hate them for taking that away from me because now we will never get to do a surprise disney trip for the kids. Oh well, we will take them somewhere cooler.

I'm a cat person. As much as I try, I cannot form a connection with any dogs. I like mine but I would much prefer a cat that just lounges around. I definitely agree that animals are not more important than people.

UO: I think everyone should tip the baggers at the commissary. That's all they work for and I find it selfish if you don't. As well as pizza delivery guys.

This was going to be mine! I was like, ooh I have one this week!

I hate the word tits. I find it lowbrow and crude, and not at all representative of the lovely, warm, gorgeous things that are breasts. I hear tits and I think objects. Or augmented stripper boobs. I especially cringe when I hear women slinging it around casually, and HATE the use of "Love tits" on TB.

Yes. In fact most of them were thrilled when I got a dog because, to them, it meant I was prepping to have a baby. I disagree, but I'm also a FTM. So I thought I'd bring in the opinions of my mom friends of three or four for credibility.

ETA: I have a friend - self-proclaimed Boy Mom - who regularly compares her boys to caring for puppies and/or dogs. And she's not a dog owner. She just gets that there are lots of (humorous) similarities between a kindergarten boy and a puppy.

Serenla · January 2014

I love cartoons, I watch Adventure time, DH and I are in the middle of The Justice League right now after we finished watching He-man. I would argue that, starting with animaniacs, the creators of newer cartoons do put stuff in for the parents to enjoy.

Also in some American cartoons do have a more complex plot than many people assume take adventure time. It is actually set in a post apocalyptic world, there are many complex story lines and characters as well as simplicity for the kids.

Lastly don't get me started on Anime.

Edit wording.
