UO

awc1986 · March 2014

It's that time of the week again...

chillypenguin · March 2014

We have to buy a new car before the baby comes (we cannot fit two rear-facing car seats in either car and I am not comfortable turning DD around yet). We are getting a Honda Odysessy and after reading all the reviews and the great features for car seats I am really excited. So I guess my UO is that I am actually excited to become a minivan mom.

I know most people avoid them if at all possible.

Storrmys · March 2014

I got nothing !!! All my opinions are popular. .. it's just so hard being this perfect!

spinsoffresonance · March 2014

DH went grocery shopping and bought sugar free jam. WTF is sugar free jam. Jam should have 2 ingredients fruit and sugar. This one has 15 chemicals trying to mimic the taste and consistency of jam. Gross.

So my UO is that I think the diet industry has ruined food. People will eat the weirdest things full of unnatural chemicals just because it is labeled fat free (nonfat sour cream anyone?) or sugar free and , therefore, is "healthier"!

IBackBevo · March 2014

Don't know if this is an UO, but I am tired of the same debates being hashed and re-hashed.

DTAP/TDAP - really? How many times does this need to be discussed/debated?

Government benefits/welfare abuse? I'm over it. Basing your opinion off of what your cousin's friend does (or even the people you know in your circle of friends) and assuming that is reflective of society as a whole is not good logic. On the other side of the issue, I fail to see how any statistic anyone cites about abuse being low can possibly be reliable because it isn't like people are going to readily admit to breaking the law. It just seems like a pointless debate.

I feel similarly on the debates about a whole bunch of other issues...it would seem like there would be something out there new and novel we could talk about that hasn't been beaten to death.

Adding on to @Lica001 's UO, Greek yogurt does not taste like sour cream. Pretend all you want, but no it does not. Also, 0% fat dairy products are an abomination.

Yes. 1% milk may as well be water. And hings like yogurt are full of sugar and other crap to compensate so what are you really gaining by having the fat-free kind?

My UO is that I'm really dang pissed off that my FIL and his wife haven't contributed to the arrival of their grandchild in any way, shape or form. My dad is a widower and has bought the travel system and several other bits for us. He's probably spent about £800 on her so far.

The UO part of this is that I know it sounds like I'm expecting people to buy stuff for my baby, but over here it's a tradition that the grandparents help out with the big stuff. FIL hasn't mentioned helping to buy the crib. Instead he tried to give us DH's moldy old crib, which we politely declined (it's been in his garage for almost 30 years). It genuinely had mold on it. Instead of offering to help us buy a new one, he said he'll just get rid of that one. We're basically doing everything from scratch. We don't do baby showers or registries here, so gifts are generally clothes and bits when the baby is born. We're pretty much doing this from scratch and my dad is getting pissed off that DH's dad isn't being at all supportive. This is his 3rd grandchild (1st girl), but his son's first child. Him and his wife (not DH's mother) have visited once since I got pregnant and not offered any kind of help with buying things, even though they've paid off their mortgage and can go on around the world trips twice a year. I can't be surprised. They did sweet FA for SIL and her 2 sons. In fact he just yelled at her on the phone for several hours when she told him about the first one because she's not married.

Well we may just have to repay the favour by not visiting him when baby gets here. Obviously 20 miles is just too dang far for 2 people who have taken early retirement and have nothing else to do.

Edit: Just a bit of perspective here as well. DH is being made redundant 3 weeks before my due date and is struggling to find work elsewhere, so we genuinely need all the help we can get. FIL's advice? "Good luck with the job search".

IBackBevo · March 2014

My UO is that I don't mind when older women (assuming they have the body for it) wear clothes meant for younger women. I saw a 50ish woman in the elevator today in cute leggings and a top. She looked good. If you are 41 and want to shop at "Forever 21," I say go for it! I am much more irked when women of any age do not wear clothes that are situation appropriate. You don't need to come to a professional office or church with your tatas hanging out. Save that for the bar.

IBackBevo · March 2014

@awc1986 - I totally get what you are saying. My father has never once purchased DS (or this baby) a single present. Not even a 99 cent card or a $2 golden book from Wal-Mart. It isn't even about the money. It is about the fact that it just shows you don't care. Oh, and-plus-also, he has been to visit twice in the last 14 months. He is retired, health is fine and lives 4 hours away so there is no excuse. But he can sure share his opinion about how I am not raising my son right!

awc1986 · March 2014

@IBackBevo - Sorry you have a sucky relative too. I'm glad you get where I'm coming from. I didn't want to sound like I'm expecting people to pay for my baby. I'm not. However, when your son says he's just been given his marching orders for 3 weeks before his first baby is due, you might want to put your hand in your pocket. My dad will be taking part in a fundraiser in May and we won't be able to go because of the newborn. He suggested FIL take her. I just laughed and told him that they've taken their 1st grandson twice in 3.5 years and have never babysat the 9 month old. I'm going to raise the subject with DH tonight. I know it's going to be a prickly convo though, because he knows his dad is a negligent d-bag (left when DH was 7). It's just gonna end in an argument.

to add to this: just because it comes in your size doesn't mean it "fits." the UO here: dress the body you have not the body you dream about.

Don't insult my future daughter Pryncyssj, mkay. The "j" is silent.

I went to high school with a Prwinsess. She went by Win. She was actually pretty cool. Didn't even know her full name was atrocious until graduation.

whimsy515 · March 2014

Here's a baby shower related UO, but not really UO....

I know I'm not alone here... How hard is it to RSVP??? I feel like the people who aren't responding are punishing me. At my bridal shower, I had friends (who I no longer talk to anyways) that didn't RSVP to my DH's Aunt, who was throwing it. I told her that I was embarrassed over it all. This time around, it's now his Aunt and a whole slew of other people who can't seem to email, call, or text my Mom a yes or no! It's not that hard!

People who can't make the trip are sending my Mom the shower gifts, which is fine and appreciated. But, they're sending things to her either without a card stating who's it from and/or a return mail address. Now she has gifts that she has no clue where they've come from. This is a first for me. Who does that?

My friend's baby shower is a few weeks away, and she's already posting pics of her diaper cake and stuff! So either you're planning it yourself, or people are spoiling the fun little things for you. Either way, it sucks. But I like surprises!

I get this. But don't hate my Camryn or my Kaydence. Both y's put in place because I don't like the traditional Cam-er-on, and prefer Cam-run, and I'd like the option to use Kayde as a nn. Ok, you can hate all you want, only cause I know you all be jelly of this!

My UO- I can't with the single kids. I'm not talking a second kid literally couldn't be conceived, I mean you decided before having kids that you were one and done. Siblings teach some very valuable life lessons that you just can't find anywhere else. Having one can be difficult, having more can seem impossible, but all things worth it require the effort. Besides, if 5 kids can survive my mom, anybody can raise more than one LOL.

I'm an only child by choice and I'm pretty pleased with it. I was well socialised when I was growing up and I had the perfect relationship with my parents. My DH has a big sister and he hated her growing up. He still resents certain things she did (broke some of his toys etc).

One of the things that benefitted me was that I became happy with my own company. I don't need to be surrounded by people to be happy. I have a friend who had 12 brothers and sisters and she freaks out when she's on her own. She needs to be surrounded by chaos. I'm glad I had a quiet upbringing.

I'm glad you responded with this. I haven't made the final decision, but my DH and I just might be one and done. The only children I knew were perfectly fine and not spoiled little brats. Yet I still get people telling me to have all the kids right away and only children are miserable without siblings. Even though I'm high risk, this pregnancy has been super easy, and maybe I don't want to ruin it with another pregnancy that turns out to be hellish

I'm also an only child and second this. And we are choosing for LO to be an only child. Maybe it is selfish of us but I want LO to get everything he needs and our full attention. We can barely afford 1.

I also have in law gripes. Mine are absent grandparents to my nieces and nephews already. I told DH if they don't come see LO in the hospital I'm done with them. And they're only 1 and a half hrs away and in reasonable health. They have no excuse.

ykristos · March 2014

I'm 99% sure I'm one and done. Obviously (it goes without saying) that there are positives and negatives to both routes, but it's pretty over the top to claim that deciding to have a single child is somehow "less than." I also don't get how it implies one doesn't want to put in "the effort." I'll be putting my efforts into many other things I consider worthwhile for my sons wellbeing (which play into why I've decided to stick to one). Shrug.

You made an important statements, to me " if you have the body for it", nothing make me crazier than when women wear the wrong clothes for their body type. I have no problem with a woman being 25 pounds overweight dresed nicely, I do have a problem with a bigger person wearing a half top or spandex pants , don't they realize it makes anyone look less attractive then if you dress appropriately for your size?

Jennyinheaven · March 2014

Im probably in the one and done club as well, not that I need to explain but there are several reasons for this. 1 is I am 36 I'll be 37 when this baby is born, I had a lot of trouble keeping pregnancies, so it took awhile to get one to stick. 2 DH and I had a devastating issue happen in our lives a few years back and spent a lot of money to fix it, we are just now getting back on our feet I don't feel comfortable having children I can't necessarily afford. 3 this baby has seven cousins under the age of four reaching down to under 1, so I'm not worried about child interaction as we live close to both of our families. point being I judge people who have children who they cant afford, or irresponsibly concieve one after another without a plan, before I judge people with a single child

Roufi · March 2014

Quotes don't like me today, so I'll just dive in with : I don't think it makes sense to make blanket statements about how people choose to construct their families. Having siblings can be awesome and certainly influence a child's development in certain ways, however an only child isn't necessarily missing out on some vital piece of the puzzle.
....but PP's argument about her (presumably) adult DH still harboring resentment about broken toys doesn't sit right with me either. That might have been a good oportunity for him to learn something from having a sibling...like how to share, forgive, let things go...

You're welcome to discuss this with him. Just don't mention his wrestling ring.

BTW he has a lot of resentment about his family situation, from his dad leaving to his mum dying and his sister "bullying" him. He wants us to be one and done because he envies my upbringing and the fact that my parents could give me their undivided attention. We were poor when I was little, so a sibling wasn't an option.

I'm just open to whatever. I'm 27 and he's 29 so we still have time if we want another. I don't want to make that decision before the first one hasn't even arrived yet.

Agreed. Plus sometimes I wonder why they even bother with sizes at all. Last time I went shopping for non-maternity clothes I ended up with clothes in sizes 2, 6, 8, 12, xsmall, medium, large depending on the store/brand. What is the point?

pistolpackinmomma · March 2014

So I had a lot if crap that I put up with with my younger brother. I will say that being 5 and remembering going from an only child to big sister played part in us wanting kids closer together. We also hope, but fully realize this may not happen, that with less of an age gap the kids may get along better. But above all that I have dealt with the only resentment I hold is towards my parents. They are the ones who forced me to babysit. They are the ones who celebrated him barely passing and punished me for a C+. They are the ones who didn't punish him for breaking my stuff. These are things that are within our control, things DH and I can change. DH is an only child. For the most part he's fine with it but because of that and the age gap between my brother and I our kids will have zero first cousins even close in age to them. Well, unless my brother has a surprise and/or I can talk DH into more kids. I see my mom's side of the family (5 kids) and love the dynamic of a large family. I won't say for certain that we are done after this one but it is very likely.

I have zero issues with anyone choosing to be one and done for whatever reason, I don't think your child will be missing out because of it. I just find it weird for an adult to harbour resentment about broken toys from childhood.
That being said, if his resentment stems from actual bullying by his sister, then he is certainly entitled to it - just going with the info provided in your original post. And not all sibling relationships are like that. But like I said that's no reason that an only child wouldn't be happy and well-adjusted.

Jennyinheaven · March 2014

Ok maybe another UO, I love my brother and consider him one of my best friends, sure we fought, had sibling rivalry etc growing up, but I can't believe that their are people still harboring these issues as adults.

danabsd · March 2014

Unless they ask you to you should give ladies who have had their babies a chance to post in the labor announcement thread instead of doing it for them to collect love tits.

Tnpeach · March 2014

I was number 6 out of 7. I swore to anyone that would listen that I would never do that to my child. Singular. I was a one and done when I was a kid. All the way through to when DD was 2. Then I kinda wanted another. But I really am done after this one!

My two best friends are my little brother (Bubba) and my next oldest sister (DD is named after her). So I feel the sibling love now.

Appropriate y's are cool. Naming your kid after a city but adding in random y's is not cool.

UO: I love my husband so much, but I just want to punch him in his stupid face. Wait, that may not necessarily be a UO...

UO2: I am actually looking forward to Bat Affleck. He is yummy, and a good actor. It will be a delicious vigilante.

Can we bring back the yummy guy thread?

@awc1986 I didn't recognize you at first, you took your pic out of your siggy!

You don't have to put your name and phone number in it but don't go complaining about not being let into the facebook group because nobody knows you. You made your bed.

danabsd · March 2014

I am fully in the camp of what makes your family feel complete for you and your SO is the way to go.

Personally, my family was not complete with one. I don't feel as if it will be complete after 2 either. But for many one kid or 2 is more than enough.

I am one of 6 and our ages range from 43 to 9. I am 21 years younger than my oldest sister and 13 years older than my youngest sister, and am equally close with both of them. I loved having siblings that were much older than me and I love having a sibling much younger too!

Ooh i have a possible UO.

i hate the word "sibset" and i don't understand the concern about baby names fitting into a "sibset." i keep seeing it on the baby names board and on baby names threads. makes me cringe.

my kids aren't going to be a "set" of kids. they are going to be individual people. i don't plan to name them things that "match" so my "set" is complete. i just find it odd. i can see trying to pick a name that sounds good with your last name and the middle name, but i don't get why it matters how it sounds with a siblings name.

I mostly agree with this, except for the occasion when names sound too similar. For example, I have 2 sisters; Danielle and Michelle, and they often get called each others names. And I cringe whenever I hear really similar sounding names for twins. I know 2 identical twin guys named Tyler and Taylor. Nope.

Appropriate y's are cool. Naming your kid after a city but adding in random y's is not cool. UO: I love my husband so much, but I just want to punch him in his stupid face. Wait, that may not necessarily be a UO... UO2: I am actually looking forward to Bat Affleck. He is yummy, and a good actor. It will be a delicious vigilante. Can we bring back the yummy guy thread?

See, and my DH is number 2 out of 7, and he and his siblings all love having a big family. They range in age from 29 to 14, but I've never heard any of them complain about having too many brothers and sisters. Most of them want to have big families themselves. I think it really is just up to each individual family as to how many kids makes sense to them. For some, one is the perfect number. For others, it's more.

I went to high school with a Prwinsess. She went by Win. She was actually pretty cool. Didn't even know her full name was atrocious until graduation.

Kinda ironic she went by Win, since her full name is full of all kinds of Fail. But I totally understand why she made that decision. Poor thing.

ETA to fix quoting.

@awc1986 I didn't recognize you at first, you took your pic out of your siggy!

My UO: Whenever I see a generic avatar/siggy I assume you are a newb. If you want people to remember who you are put some effort into it and personalize it a bit. You don't have to put your name and phone number in it but don't go complaining about not being let into the facebook group because nobody knows you. You made your bed.

Ditto this. I am also guilty of assuming newb or lurker when I see a generic avatar. But @awc1986 is an exception. I'm not ashamed to admit that I have a Bump crush on her.

Want a personalized experience?
