It is just personal preference for me as an individual. That's why it is an UO. If other people want to do it, that has nothing to do with me so it does not bother me. Does it happen a lot where you receive them and they do not fit her because she is built differently?

I've actually never had that happen. Some don't fit her because they're the wrong size but that's about it.

I mean, I can see this happening when she's older, but now? I don't think there's a "fit" to baby clothes beyond "too big" or "too small." It's not like they're custom tailored, you know?

@cfox815

I share your love of handbags. I can be wearing an outfit complete from Target with my Chanel or Louis bag. I have never spent a lot of money on clothes or accessories, but I will drop on some handbags and shoes. I have a pretty conservative, classic style, so I feel like its an investment because I can use it forever. But I like a deal! I got my Chanel jumbo classic bag for about $850 plus tax. It retails today for over $4000.

My UO: I feel like I own the part of the street directly in front of my house (even though the state/city does) and it really pisses me off when people park there. We live in a really old neighborhood where the houses don't have garages or large drive ways, so we all park on the street. And most of the neighbors respect each others spots. But when someone doesn't it makes my blood boil.

Edited to add this: my child wears only hand me downs and used items from eBay.

My UO is weak in comparison to TibiaBones' but I don't mind having exclusive rights to MOTN feedings. SO has never taken a night shift since LO was born. I would have to drop a bomb on his chest to wake him up and honestly it's not worth my aggravation. (And yes, my masochistic ass is back to work.)

I agree! I'd much rather just do it myself. DS is STTN now (knock on wood), but when he was waking a couple times to eat it was so much easier to grab him quickly, pop the boob in his mouth, and back to sleep we go. If DH had to feed him, DS would be screaming waiting on the bottle to heat up, which would get him good and awake and then Id end up having to get up anyway to get him back to sleep. Wasn't worth it. I did it all myself.

I'm surprised you love this purse with the caged birds pattern when you sound anti-seaworld and anti-animal entrapment. Contradiction, but we all are entitled to them!

Agreed. Even during the weeks whe she needed a change after every feed, it wasn't worth it. We tried having him change her during a few naps for me, and she made so much noise I couldn't sleep anyway. And if I miss a feed, my boobs hurt like hell and I sometimes get plugged ducts. NOT WORTH IT.

@mum2be28 - wait, at the time you bought a jumbo flap it was retailing for $800 or do you have a Chanel connection? Holler at your girl.

@mstamant lol at tibiabone

In 2008 I worked at Saks right after college and I don't know if you remember but in December 2008 Saks had a crazy hand bag sale because of the recession. So typically employees get 30% off but occasionally they had double discount days where you got 44% off. So that day to the public the bag was 40%off and then I got my 44% double discount on top of the 40% off. It was magical! I think at the time the bag was valued around $2350. And as you know, Chanel and Louis go up in value every year.

Are you fucking kidding me? Yes, I'm anti animal abuse. But it's a purse... With fake birds in fake cages...

I should PM you the name of the salon from hell, since I was living in Evanston at the time of the incident. I would hate for you to wander in someday to get your nails done and wander out with a divorce.

Yes please! Asha is pretty terrible, too. Now I go to Mario Triccoci at Old Orchard.

Do you always take such illogical flying leaps? It's not like her purse has a repeating pattern of dog fighting or puppy mills, FFS.

i have this parrot. he doesn't do that though. he's lazy and only screams his name.
haha

My moms parrot (African grey, they can have the vocabulary of a five year old) calls me a whore..
I guess I shouldn't be too upsetthough because He calls the cat a dirty whore..
And calls my dad a jack ass..
And repeats I love you to my mom..

Obviously he's mate bonded to her lol.

And he LOVES to yell for the dogs and they run in his room all excited thinking someone wants to pet them and he laughs.. He's a jerk.

My dad had an african grey. He would knock on the walls (we left his cage door open) and say "fuck you" if we didnt knock back. He would yell for my then husband, "logan, come heeeeeeeeere." He would say "hello" and sound JUST like my dad, which was kind of comforting after my dad died. He also would make water droplet, cell phone, microwave beeps, coughing, and bomb dropping noises. My dad used to carry him around on his shoulder and he would drink my dads beer. He also cleaned my dads hair and ears and thought they were mates.

I wore really similar ones. Except they were champagne colored and Target knock offs. That's right Tavia, I don't even wear designer brands MYSELF let alone my son. Oh the humanity!

Thanks for sharing. Never said they had to wear "designer". I like target as well and your shoes are beautiful.

He says I love you in my moms voice. Always scared me and DH when we were dating and making out and thinking she came home lol.

He does all the phone noises too and has the conversation my dad has a lot. He sells hay so it's often the same list of questions.

He's not aloud out if my dad is home because he would attack him if he hugged or kissed my mom. He took a chunk out of his arm the last time and my dad slapped him away (in reaction) and he shook it off and came back for more lol. Crazy ass bird.

If my mom had him on her shoulder and the dog got on her lap he'd run down and bite her ear then run back up and laugh.

He's really funny but the whole family jokes that were gonna bury him with my mom (cause they live for freaking ever!) because she's the only person he likes.

I have a fake Michael Kors. Judge me. Lol

Also I pretty much won't spend over $3 for any clothing item for my kids. Couldn't care less about the brand as long as it's cute!

I want to join the baby wearing wine drinking errrrr, tasting party but I will be kicked out of the group ( @stLucia_wife @cfox18 @nciesla ) because not only do I not own any handbags I drink box wine (there's actually some good stuff in boxes) even though I agree wine shouldn't be "buttery" (ew) I love reds.
Chilean carmenere
Cab sauv
Pinot noir
I love wine.

I'm wearing my baby right now, can I have a glass anyway?

Love box wine...just bought one, and it was on sale...double bonus.

African greys are my dream bird. My senegal is bonded to me. He liked my husband at first, But we used to play wrestle a lot so that changed. He was also previously abused the pet store owners wife so he already didn't take to people.

My green cheek conure.. she'll attack other animals. Damn bird has no fear. Oh, exit remote control cars. Haha.

My mom adopted him from a friend who rescues birds. He was owned by a young couple where the wife cheated (so when he says whore its in this deep angry mans voice) and when they divorced they sold him to an old woman who adored him! But when she died the kids just passed him around and he plucked himself bald from depression and our friend finally got him. And mom adopted him. He immediately bonded to her and no one but her has been able to touch him since.

He's insanely smart and it's crazy how fearless he is. He's attacked my dad so many times and been smacked so many times and just shakes it off and comes back for more.

My first uo!
I won't put my dd in hand me downs/consignment shop clothes. Not because we're "too good" for them, but because I've seen what dd does to her clothes. While stains come out I can't help but think of the microscopic germs that are left behind and it grosses me out because I don't know what is left behind and from who. However, I will not spend more than $10-$15 on an outfit.

You're a day late and this isn't an opinion. Also, it's called bleach, it kills everything.

I'm not sure if you were responding to me or the person who quoted me, but since I posted the shoes I'll respond. I put them up in a response to Dolphnfreek's brilliant UO about french pedis, not to hate on your designer brand loving self.

I'm not going to say much because I'm on my lunch break and need time to read the FFFC's, but I think it comes down to one thing. Like politics and religion, money (or money related things) is just one of those things you don't discuss in polite company. No matter how carefully you might have tried to phrase your UO (using brand vs designer, etc etc) it was going to rub people the wrong way. I have to think you knew that before posting it, so it is my opinion that you ether wanted to win the UO's (which you did, congrats) or you wanted to incite a debate...which you also did. Either way, I figured you knew what you were doing, so I stayed out of it.

Thanks for spicing up the board though...somehow you managed to even draw the attention off of DevynMarie's crazy ass UO about swinging and AshRoss's love for fake tatas.

DM- I've got nothing but love for you girl, I was just waiting for that one to take off

First of all by saying "designer" you are twisting what was originally said because it still cannot be pointed out where I said that, because it was never said to begin with. So that is INTENTIONALLY trying to start stuff.

Secondly, its an OPINION. Everyone has the right to express their opinion. It wasn't about "winning" anything, and that didn't even cross my mind. Stuff rubs me the wrong way now and then. That doesn't mean I intentionally twist around what the person said and claim they said something that was never there. It means that is their OPINION and I differ and that is fine. It would not have sparked a debate if people expressed how they felt and moved on as opposed to once again saying I said something that was never brought up. Then to go back and forth with me about it, and then say I am intentionally trying to start something makes no sense. So that is all I am saying. The disagreement doesn't bother me, it is the fact stuff I never said was twisted around and made a bigger deal than it needed to be. There were a few opinions that I majorly disagreed with, but I would never twist around their words or make it seem like they said something that was never said.

No need to justify your position to me. I was just pointing out that when you started listing off the brands you prefer to put your children in, and many of them are considered designer brands, the response was somewhat predictable. Hence why I assumed you knew what you were doing.

You still win the UOs though 'cuz that opinion was uuuuuuunnnnnnpopular. Nice work. Now go put up your FFFC...it's kinda slow in there.

What?! See that's funny bc none of those are actually designer. LOL. If I think of an FFFC to put up I will do it.

Why would I do it on purpose? Who has time to even think to do that on purpose? If the quote tree is too long i will just delete it so it just shows the persons response and then post mine. In this case, I left it up and just hit "quote" and so if there is a way to fix it, please tell me, because I am just hitting the quote button assuming it comes out correctly.
