Happy Thursday Momma's!!!

Let's hear your UN-popular Opinions

fitmama418 · February 2014

Ugh...I thought of one the other day and said "OH I have to remember this on Thursday." And then...I didn't. Shit, what WAS it?

TWD is horrible, stupid and pointless.

I can't stand chicks wearing leggings without a shirt that covers their butt. I don't want to see the shape of your crack or the dimples on your cheeks.

fitmama418 · February 2014

OH! I remember. #RichKidsofBH is pretty much reality TV gold. I can't get enough of this show. This may also be a FFFC double whammy.

katie.725 · February 2014

I feel like we need to send contestants from The Bachelor to an island and just let the problem of their stupidity sort itself out...

Seriously... no wonder men think we're BSC.

In short: the Bachelor is stupid

I hate when new moms talk about how they have so much weight to lose. Seriously? You just had a baby! It took 9 months to put on so you're not going to lose it all in 2 months.

I guess I have another one. I think it's perfectly acceptable to want to be back to my "fighting weight" a couple months post-partum. I think it's a realistic goal.

This. I'm not ashamed to say I'm pissed I'm not back down to pre-preg weight now that Sophia is almost 15 weeks old.

Also @ashleyross...the other episodes other than the first two have made the show WAY better. Jonny and EJ crack me up and I kind of want to be best friends with Morgan...sorry not sorry. And her boyfriend is adorbs.

Downton Abbey is sooooooooooo boring. DH loves it, but I *legit* fall asleep every time it's on. Hate it.

I'm with ya here! It drives me bonkers that none of my clothes fit and completely lends to Body Image Issues

I guess my UO is that this thread is getting old.. Or maybe I'm just a bad sport because I don't have any more UO to use after all these months. Beeteedubs- I've never have seen Downtown Abbey- everyone talks about it though so I'm interested. Is it netflix available?!

It is on Netflix...you can always NOT comment on threads you don't like...

I am in complete agreement about my weight. I knew I would be impatient about it!

Edited: Apparently I can't spell.

Sometimes I wish I had never gone to college and law school so I could justify being a stay at home mom. And then I see the pile of dirty dishes and the fact that I haven't vacuumed in 2 weeks and realize I'm much more cut out for arguing in a courtroom than cleaning.

I think wanting to be back to pre-pregnancy weight 2-3 months later is much different than viewing it as a "realistic goal." Considering the fact that the first 6 weeks + or - exercise really isn't an option that already cuts out time to get back into shape. And for me it's much more than a number, I know many women who get back to the same weight, but are not at all at the same level of health and fitness. I would LOVE to be back at my same fitness level now, but realize that's not realistic.

Agree with this totally. I lost all my weight and was back in normal clothes within 10 days PP--I only had about 7 lbs to lose when I got home from the hospital, and dropped about a lb/day through nursing. BUT I am no where near where I was pre-pregnancy as far as endurance, etc. We took a 3-mile walk the other weekend (granted with a lot of hills) and there were times I was huffing and puffing. And my stomach, while flat, is not toned, and I have not done the first crunch. Need to start that before bathing suit season...

The female body is such a mind effer. I'm still about 15+lbs away from pre-preg but the other day I went out for a 3 mile run and got through it no problem. So I have the opposite issue; stubborn pounds, but still have my endurance. Thank God, though, since I have a 10 miler in May and a half-marathon in June.

PeachsMama · February 2014

If I could post a picture of my new body on a bill board I would! I'm the thinnest I've been in 4 years (thank you breast feeding!!!) I lost 40 pounds before LO turned 1 month. I look better than I ever have and I'm ecstatic!

For the first time in my life I feel healthy and I don't hate my body. I'm proud of that.

I hate clothing with tigger, pooh bear, cars, and stupid sayings. Anytime I receive any if these as a gift for LM I put the outfit on him take a photo and throw the outfit right into the donation pile.

alexisjo88 · February 2014

Families that continue to have kids that end up being taken away by CPS should be put in jail. If not jail, mandatory bc or as far as getting tubes tied. I have a "family member" on her fourth child, and she had just turned 21 a few months ago. She doesn't talk or even care about the previous children. She is terrible with children, too. When her eldest would cry, she would have held him down and cover his mouth. No soothing attempted. She claimed he had autism. No wonder 3 of 4 are with fosters. IMO I'm surprised she has lasted this long with her 2 month old.

I don't even go as far as bothering to take a picture in it. I used to like pooh as a child, but now it seems super tacky.

Agreed! I absolutely HATE the sayings on baby clothes...we all know she's adorable or mommy loves her, no need to have advertise it on her onesie!

Edit: I realized this after my post...HA, in my picture she has a saying on her onesie! But it was a gift, and a cute picture so what can ya do.

I completely agree except I still like to watch the Kardashians and I still like Kim K.

Are we related? This is my sister. And she actually is in jail, but on drug charges. I'm so glad her first was adopted by a wonderful family. Best thing that could have ever happened to him. Her other three live with her ILs.

My Mom and I actually called CPS on her to get the oldest removed from her custody.

cagoldi · February 2014

I hate patchouli. That shit smells foul.

Littlemama01 · February 2014

My UO is that I hate how women complain about weight and body shape at all, to fat, too skinny, to tall, too short, hate my belly, hate my boobs..regardless of having a baby, or just in general. Own who you are or do something about it, but life is too short for all the self hate.

Are you guys ready for mine? Brace yourselves for it. I call it "babysitting" when DH takes care of DS alone. We both know it's actually "parenting" but I call it that anyway and don't get upset if/when other people do. I'm sure if he actually thought of it as a favor to me my opinion would be MUCH different. (I realize this is probably more of a confession, but I'm going to be MIA tomorrow so I'm confessing to my UO today)

I do this too, I just find it easier to say than parenting.

cagoldi · February 2014

@Sing2phins - Strange as this sounds, it wasn't.

My sister confided in me that she was leaving the baby alone at night to meet her drug dealer and she was smoking pot and blowing it right into the baby's mouth so he would go to sleep.

She's trash; I feel no loyalty to her. My only obligation was to my helpless nephew.

That said, the fact that my Mom and I agreed on the appropriate course of action probably made it easier than it would have been otherwise.

I have to agree. My sister's kids were taken away from her and it makes me furious that she had 2 kids and can't get her shit together to take care of them. Even with all the help offered to her. My mom, who is not in the best shape physically or mentally, has them until my sister can pull it together and get them back. IF she does. She had her first kid and could barely take care of her, then she gets knocked up with the second. They are amazing kids and deserve so much more. ::: grumble ::::

I hate all the post about weight loss. I didn't gain a pound while I was pregnant and have packed on 10lbs since birth. Guess all your weight loss stories make me feel like shit

That's how I felt with all the "I haven't gained any weight yet/I'm still in my reg jeans" posts while I was busy gaining 45 pounds!

same here. I should probably put down the fries and chicken wrap but they are soooo gooood.

I'm EBF and pretty sure AF is on her way back. I'm actually fine with it, looking forward to it even, because then I will actually have a clue of what the hell is going on with my body each month. Plus then I can do all my anal charts and graphs and all that fun stuff.

I do not miss the cramps, bloat, and irrational anger though. I closed a chat window on my sister today for asking me a dumb (totally normal) question, and I was beyond annoyed that the nanny brought the wrong wubbanub up with E for nap time. Giraffe goes upstairs, sheep stays downstairs...GAWD.

Not related at all to the conversation but I bought LO a dinosaur wubbanub and he stared at it and spit it out crying.. My DH was like "look what you did! You scared him!" Lol. Then my dog ate it..

Why is it when I'm in a hurry to check out of the grocery store I always end up behind "that person" writing a check to pay for groceries? I can understand Costco since they are fast at processing checks but any other play it takes forever.

I can't remember the last time I bought something and I or someone in front of me actually paid with a check. Do people still use checks when out shopping?
