My unpopular opinion for the day is that I don't believe a child has to be involved in every step of their parents reproducing a 2nd, 3rd, etc time. This goes double for stepkids. I love my stepsons, honest to God I do, but just because they were "here first" does not mean I need to have their approval to have a kid, name the kid, decide where the kid will sleep, etc etc etc.
Several people (and only one of them one of my inlaws!) are scandalized because not only did I get pregnant without "checking" with the boys first, but we chose our name and are planning on moving and deciding which room will be baby's without asking the boys which room they want first and/or where they want us to live. Really? My mom didn't ask me any of this stuff when I was 3 and my sister was born. Get over it.
OK I thought someone forgot about UO today because I was looking for the usual title.
My UO. I don't get why people wear shoes in the house. And I don't mean if you're going in and out or about to head out for the day or night. I'm talking slipping on flip flops to go from the couch to the kitchen to make a sandwich. The sound of a flip flop flipping and flopping around every step you take is annoying.
Ugh DH does the shoes in the house thing. Sometimes he'll come in from work and keep his shoes/office clothes on until he goes to bed. It puts me on edge, like he's expecting us to go out at any time. I can't relax! I'm a slippers girl. Get in, shoes off, slippers on.
I think maybe a part of this has to do with my dad always telling us to take our shoes off before entering the house. I'm always barefoot unless I'm going somewhere. Idk maybe it's just the sound of the shoes flopping around that really gets to me lol.

DH does this too. I grumble about it because it's his boots and they hold dirt and rocks and it's annoying. MIL got me a sign (because FIL does it and drives her bonkers too) that says "life is full of choices, take off your shoes or clean the floors" and I love it. I will say now that we've moved to a nicer house he does better about taking his shoes off.
I love that! Imo shoes are made to keep your feet clean and protected. All the dirt is at the bottom of your shoes, not your barefoot. So if you take your shoes off before entering the house, you keep clean floors!
we were on a very small budget. i only wanted to spend $300 or less on the dress, but wound up spending about $700 because i just fell completely in love. we felt the main expenses needed to be photographer and DJ..i am so thankful that's where the majority of our money went because when Mother Nature dumps nearly 3ft of snow on you, you need quality and dependability. our wedding was in the evening so we had a potluck dessert reception and everyone loved it. it was totally optional and we had people lining up to volunteer! we also supplied a number of desserts and provided all of the beverages. we also got married in a youth hall, so there was no alcohol allowed...which saved us a butt load of money. granted, people still snuck some nips in their punch...and i snuck some wine while getting ready
anyways, overall i agree with PPs. frankly, it doesn't matter what anyone chooses or is able to spend on their wedding. a potluck reception may sound crazy to some, but for us and our guests it worked out perfectly. also, since we had to push things back due to the weather and driving bans, the entire shindig only lasted about 3 1/2 hrs. it flew by, but everyone said it was the best wedding they had gone to- even sans booze!
didn't mean to go off on that tangent, but $500-$50,000 it's your day. screw what everyone else thinks.
My UO - I secretly hate when DH buys me flowers. I would never tell him that, and he doesn't do it often enough for it to matter, but every time he buys flowers I just think what a waste of money. They just sit there in our kitchen and nobody even sees them except the two of us because we rarely have guests. He bought me a blue bouquet on the day that we found out we were having a boy. I love the fact that he thought to do something special for me that day, but I hate that he spent money on something that was gone in such a short amount of time.
I guess the only time I really enjoy getting flowers is when he has them delivered to work, because then all my students and coworkers get to see them as well, and it doesn't seem so wasteful when I get to look at them all day long. But that's hard where I work now because I am in different classrooms all day long.
For Valentines Day, we don't buy presents, but we splurge on a really nice dinner and we order whatever we want without worrying about the cost. I always cringe a little when the bill comes, but I'm totally looking forward to it this year.

We live in slippers in our house. We have wide pine floors, and they have these huge nail heads in them, and they're not all flush with the floor surface. I usually kick my slippers off when I'm watching tv since I'm usually curled up under a blanket. But when I get up to walk anywhere, the slippers go on. All our slippers are hard-soled because of the nails, and also because we have two brick hearths that hurt when you walk into them.
It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
My UO: Since we're on the subject of wedding dresses, I don't understand how any bride (whether you are paying for it or someone else is) buys a $2K+ wedding dress. You are literally in the dress for a matter of hours and I could never justify spending that much $ on a dress. I may get flamed on that one, but eh.
My dress cost £1370, which is in the region of $2200. I loved every second that I wore it. Especially as my wedding was at noon so I got a lot of wear out of it! I'm an only child so my parents were happy to spoil me. My mum paid for it herself and it made me happy to see how proud she was to do that, especially as we were so poor growing up. I still have my dress and will never get rid of it.

I agree. My SIL bought an $800 dress that wasn't that flattering and then didn't wear it a year and a half later when they went the courthouse route. Why spend all that money if you aren't even going to wear the damn thing and enjoy it.
My UO for today: when employee moral is super, super low, the least you could do is provide coffee, juice, donuts, etc. at the mandatory 2 hour morning meeting that was also scheduled to start 15 minutes before our scheduled reporting time.

Also, don't want to crush anyone's Valentine's hopes and dreams BUT....
I hate Pandora (blerg)
I hate chocolate diamonds and other nonsense
The "open hearts" necklaces etc, double blerg. (H and I call them "boobs and butts" necklaces. (Real mature, I know.)
Pandora is ridiculously expensive, and I just don't get it. The chocolate diamonds in my UO are hideous! But then again, I have nothing in my wardrobe that would suit chocolate diamonds, and my skin tone probably wouldn't work with it...
The new open hearts commercial with the waves, makes me cry every time though....
To add to this...I think charm bracelets are adorable for young girls and even up to teenage years...MAYBE early 20's. But...I cannot handle seeing grown ass women in their 30's and up wearing big, dangley charm bracelets.

I love making fun of jewelry commercials. I can't wait to see one for boobs and butts now.
ahh yes, the open hearts collection. my ex and i had a string of running jokes about this collection and it's cheesy commercials. however, we called it "the broken hearts collection". ironically enough for him, i dumped him.
The whole shoes in the house thing grosses me out. You're walking on dirty streets, in other people's gum and spit and whatever else and then you're going to trek all of those germs in your house. In our house it's shoes off for everyone...unless we're having a party or something. Then I make sure the floors are washed afterwards. It's not about comfort to me it's about cleanliness. I live in my slippers at home.
While we are on the subject of weddings, I just don't get all of the big hooplah over big weddings. I must have just been born without that particular girl gene. DH and I eloped, without telling anyone, just the two of us, on the beach, and I wouldn't have it any other way. We did have a reception the next summer at our families' insistence, but it was only a handful of close friends and our families.
Not that there's anything wrong with big weddings, if that's what you're into, I just can't wrap my mind around spending thousands and tens of thousands of dollars on this one day! It just blows my mind. And I find 99% of wedding part pictures cheesy. But, again, I'm pretty sure I was just born without the gene required to appreciate these things.
Oh I get it. I grew up with a mom that owned a bridal store, so I was so over the "wedding industry" before high school. I wanted a winter wedding, and really wanted a Sunday morning brunch because it would have been CHEAP. My husband wanted the big, Saturday night affair, but we still went with off-season November. And we were on, and stuck to a very tight budget (even though I say "big Saturday night party" we had less than 100 people at our wedding). It was fun, but I wouldn't have wanted it any bigger. I also agree about the pictures. We have very traditional, family and us wedding photos, from the cheapest photographer we interviewed. We like the pictures, but we have maybe 2 framed in our house. The best shots we have in albums are candids from friends. I know people that paid thousands for photography and had like little set-up photo-shoots in multiple locations. One couples has a whole wall mural of all these wedding photos. Who wants to look at themselves that much?
That being said, while I wouldn't want my own wedding to be big, I LOVE attending big weddings! Dancing all night with basically unlimited food and drink? If you want to spend your hard-earned money on that, I'm there! The most fun I have had at a wedding was a Polish-Vietnamese couple. There were 300+ people there, the venue was beautiful and the food was AMAZING!! It was cultural from both sides, and so delicious, the booze was top shelf and the midnight buffet probably cost more than my entire wedding day.
I didn't think I had an UO but I do! I work in retail and I can't stand how some customers think I'm an airhead. I had a customer the other day talk really slow to me while handing me her snot card saying this is a debit card. Like I've never had one before. I smiled at her and said yes, I'm aware of how they work I have one myself. Another customer called looking for a certain saying on a plaque when I said we had she asked me 5 more times if I was sure of the saying, after reading it back to her she said she'll come in and look at it herself to make sure. Just because I work in retail doesn't mean I'm not educated.

I couldn't agree more. I was a retail manager for a while and I hated it. I find that its people of our parent's generation and older who make the assumption we're all stupid. Thing is, the majority of people in retail are educated or in education. The reason we all had to take jobs in retail is because the older generation screwed the fucking economy, so now none of us can get jobs in the field we're trained for. I have a masters degree in American history, but I was spoken to like I wouldn't pass the 1st grade.

I totally agree with you. We moved to a new city for DH's job, and for the first year I couldn't find a teaching job, so I worked as a sub, and part time at a Panera bread. I can't tell you all the times people acted like I was a total moron, and I probably have more education than most of them. It's infuriating.
OK my UO is pretty lame, but I'm one of those people who like the following: conversation hearts, candy corn, and black liquorice. Usually people are strongly on one side or the other about all of the above, and I fully admit, I love all the candies!! I do not discriminate. I will admit though, that preggo food aversions turned me off to candy corn this year, but I'm confident I'll get it back next Oct.
Conversation hearts, in my opinion, are not meant for human consumption, but I agree with you about the tastiness of candy corn and black licorice. (Just not jellybeans. I hate the way they stick in my teeth.)

I get it. Pandora like the stupid charm bracelet thing! I was thinking pandora the music website. I didn't quite understand the pandora hate or expense thing. Yeah those charm bracelets are totally NMS.
oh phew, i wasn't alone.
Not only did I think Pandora the radio website, but i also thought she meant chocolate, diamonds, and other girly stuff. That's what happens when you love the Oxford comma in a world of underpunctuation.

I will take some as well! The candy corn and black licorice is not for me though.
Totally agree with the Valentine's jewelry except that I love my Pandora bracelet. However, it has very few charms on it because I want them all to be meaningful. Not a bunch of random charms. It will take me years to fill up!
My UO is I really never heard the terms "totes", "adorbs", "cray- cray" until frequenting this board. I feel so freaking old now. I can't see myself using these words. It just doesn't feel right to me.
I didn't realize I was so old now that I didn't know what the current slang. I am still one to say 80s/90s slang! 80s girl for life!
I'm under 30 and these slang terms were totes new to me when I started at my current job. I am the oldest people in my "pod" and the only married one (and now pregnant). Anyone under the age 25 has a remarkable ability to make anyone OVER 25 feel old. Such a dividing line ...

the only thing that's worse is when they are said together with exaggerated vocal fry by someone over 22.

i loved my strapless wedding gown and i spent over 1k on it, and I paid for it myself. That thing was cinched so tight I didn’t have to adjust it once. Haven’t regretted it for one second.
i hate pandora bracelets but i do own a few alex and ani bracelets.
i think chocolate diamonds are hideous.
i wear my shoes in the house quite a bit, mostly because my dog tracks in an ungodly amount of dirt and also drools his water all over the place.
i never talk down to retail employees because i used to be one and i'm not a dick.
i don't really like conversation hearts much but will eat them if they are there...cause candy.

I agree that the biggest loser winner looks a little gaunt. I don't watch the show, but I read that she is a former champion swimmer. So, I'm just giving her the benefit of the doubt that she has a naturally small frame.
I am going to respectfully disagree here. I was a competitive swimmer for a long time and had, as I like to call them, "man arms." Swimming makes your shoulders VERY broad and muscular. Have you seen Missy Franklin?
I totally agree that swimmers don't have her stick thin arms. My point was just that she may not be a person with a "thick" build who has been heavy her whole life.
In the best shape if my life I would never look like her. I have a thicker build, wider hips, boobs, "big bones". It doesn't matter how much weight I lose, a size 0 will never fit. A lot of the previous winners are like that/like me.

I'm bad at remembering names and I tend to assume that online everyone's grammar is going to be wrong and just roll with it. You said V-Day stuff is silly, and chocolate and jewelry are somewhat traditional. In my meager defense, I clearly don't pay much attention to jewelry since I didn't even think "oh right, chocolate diamonds are a thing!" until someone else responded about them.
Are you pro Oxford comma too? *hopeful puppydog eyes*
My UO .... I get little girls wearing fun makeup and jewelry but I hate when they come to school wearing them! As a Kindergarten teacher I get really annoyed with the jewelry especially. They play with it all day long and usually I make them take it off by 10:00 anyway just because they don't stop playing with it! I'm sure parents are wondering why they always end up in their book bag.... Also, makeup; fun to play with but sending your kid to grade school wearing it? Just, no.

my ex and i had a string of running jokes about this collection and it's cheesy commercials. however, we called it "the broken hearts collection". ironically enough for him, i dumped him.

it will be a cold day in hell before i ever say "totes" or describe something as "adorbs."
the only thing that's worse is when they are said together with exaggerated vocal fry by someone over 22.

and since i've been so busy all day and i'm sad that i missed UO:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
i loved my strapless wedding gown and i spent over 1k on it, and I paid for it myself. That thing was cinched so tight I didn’t have to adjust it once. Haven’t regretted it for one second.
i hate pandora bracelets but i do own a few alex and ani bracelets.
i think chocolate diamonds are hideous.
i wear my shoes in the house quite a bit, mostly because my dog tracks in an ungodly amount of dirt and also drools his water all over the place.
i never talk down to retail employees because i used to be one and i'm not a dick.
i don't really like conversation hearts much but will eat them if they are there...cause candy.
People use these IRL?? I totally thought it was just Bump speak. Crap, I'm old!
I totally agree that swimmers don't have her stick thin arms. My point was just that she may not be a person with a "thick" build who has been heavy her whole life.
In the best shape if my life I would never look like her. I have a thicker build, wider hips, boobs, "big bones". It doesn't matter how much weight I lose, a size 0 will never fit. A lot of the previous winners are like that/like me.
