I have not seen frozen and really have no interest.

chelseyestelle · March 2014

I do not understand people who judge others and their kids based off of their own children. Do you not realize how different every child is? Example: you shouldn't put your baby in the front part of the cart yet. My baby didn't do that until he was 7 months.
Well guess what? My baby could sit and support his head way before that so why should I follow your guideline?
Another example: You shouldn't feed your baby solids until he's 8 months old. That's what I did.
Maybe? But I watch for clues and I'm pretty sure he's ready now. Your babe's development has absolutely nothing to do with mine.
I see this so much on the bump. SO MUCH. It drives me bonkers!

It also makes me wonder.. Do people really think that being 4/6/10/whatever months old on the dot is going to magically make them more ready for something? Like oh he's 5.5 months old but we are waiting until he's 6 so he's ready. I'm pretty sure it's all just a big guessing game because they are all developing so differently yet so similarly, right? I just think know a lot more about your baby than you think and you should just pay attention! (General you)

I know this is highly unpopular on this board, but I'm totally with you. No interest whatsoever. And the fact that people are going crazy over it makes me want to see it even less. I don't know if it's a rebellious streak in me or what, but everytime a movie or book gets a ton of hype, that makes me want to avoid it like the plague.

I saw it two nights ago. Honestly, I was a little disappointed. I liked it, but it was talked up so much as being the best movie ever and I think my expectations were too high. Personally, I liked Brave better... And of course Finding Nemo, which will always be #1 to me.

I read Divergent amd didn't like it. The whole time I was reading it I was like man, this book is pretty antiscience and sounds like a future society that the preacher man used to scare us about. Mark of the beast. Poor Christians being persecuted for their selfless acts of love and humanity.

I don't know anything abouth the author but it sounds like she went to church in my small town.

Did u only read the first book?

SuperTreesa · March 2014

I dont care one bit about Love It's etiquette. And the fact that there is a love it etiquette drives me crazy.

I feel like its yet another social standard for me to mess up.

bkeane619 · March 2014

I like the Easter Bunny. Easter is for bunnies, candy and colored eggs. I always loved this Holiday as a kid. It has nothing to do with religion in my house.

Ummm what etiquette? I didn't know there was special rules about LOVING the crap out of every thing.

There is nothing wrong with WANTING to love it everything. But there has been discussion lately on what people feel SHOULD be love it'ed.

-Start your own thread- Love it every response so everyone knows you read it, even if you don't like the response.

-share a picture on Hdbd- like every other picture to be nice.

Again, I'm not saying love it'ing is wrong but feeling obligated because others have a different standard of what is love it worthy is nuts.

CateOfChicago · March 2014

@rsigler‌ @AggieAsh23‌ I didn't see Avatar until much later and hated it. I was also disappointed in toy story 3. I love the series but the hype gave me unrealistic expectations.

I agree 200%. Hate them.....not to mention they are horrible for your feet.

Flip flips for lyfe!!

ncase2 · March 2014

I love flip flops. If it weren't 30 degrees, I'd be wearing them now.

Haven't read Divergent or seen Frozen, so I have no comments.

Easter is a very special religious holiday for my family, so seeing people celebrate it without it's true meaning makes me sad. Hallmark brought you the candy, cards and bunnies, not Easter.

I'm sure I'll have more later, just can't think of much right now.

apritchett50 · March 2014

This may not really be an opinion, instead something I do. I always stop pumping gas at a random amount. I don't like the price to be exactly $20.00 $30.00 $40.00 whatever. Something like 37.59 is perfect to me!

findingnemommy · March 2014

I don't like when people say " that's not the true meaning" of something. The "true meaning" can be different for each individual and that does not make them wrong or right.

BabyMorrissey · March 2014

I judge people who say they are on a diet but then binge drink diet coke.

Yeah that's helping.

I hate Easter.
I haven't seen frozen but LO and I listen to Disney station on Pandora and that song "let it go" SUCKS. I'll still see it because I love Disney...but this could be the first one I don't like.
Toy Story 3 was FANTASTIC.
Flip flops can be obnoxious because they make Noise. Plus they are so ugly.

I can't stand when toddlers have messy hair and it's all in their face. Do something with your child's hair or cut it.

So people who are agnostic or share different religious beliefs shouldn't be able to celebrate holidays that have a religious background? I get that Hallmark and other companies have commercialized a lot of holidays but I don't think anyone has the right to judge others for how/when/why they choose to celebrate holidays.

Never said you couldn't celebrate it - knock yourself out. It just makes me sad. That's all. Not out to push my beliefs on anyone, and I'm certainly not going to judge you.

@baconface‌ I get what you are saying. I would agree unless it's the man's second marriage and his new bride's first. I think every women should get the wedding that she dreams of.

Going with the wedding theme. I side-eye anyone that gets married on a Friday, Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day. 3/4's of your guests will be grumpy that they have to take PTO to attend and no body wants to spend their holiday at your wedding. I get that it's cheaper, but I bet you have a lot of guests that are secretly annoyed with you.

my sister was married twice, decent sized weddings for both, my parents even paid for BOTH! GASP! the reason? it was my sisters second husbands first wedding, and why should he be penalized? he always looked forward to a wedding not necessarily the flowers and dresses but celebrating with his friends and family. The second one was toned down a bit in my parents back yard and a lot of DIY, but it still was 150 guests.

I do get the point of the second wedding being over the top, my sister didnt register for much and we didn't have a shower for her second one. but i don't think a blanket statement like they don't deserve a big second wedding is fair, no matter if it is the man or woman remarrying twice. each situation is different. but i think the second one needs to be toned down, and not as much "expected" from the guests.

-------------------------------------------------
As these previous posters have said, I can agree to some degree, but if it's one of the couples first marriages, I think they should go all out. When I got married last year, it was my dream wedding and my first. It was DHs second.

Edit: fucking quote boxes

lereade · March 2014

On spring break, so I have time to post today! I've not seen Frozen and have no interest. I enjoy Easter for both the religious and secular traditions. We used to host a huge neighbourhood egg hunt. Had to stuff and hide close to 600 eggs every year, that was a chore! We'd find ones that were missed later in the summer when we'd cut the fields, ew!

My UO: I hate seeing bath time or naked baby photos on Facebook. Maybe it's paranoia, but I just think of all the creepers out there who could search for that crap. Also, along the same lines, people who create Facebook or social media accounts for their babies. I know someone who created a profile for her 1 yr old twin boys, and post on people's pages as the boys.

In both instances I just want to say you do realize your kids will be growing up and using some form of the internet and will probably be able to see this stuff, right? Think how they'll feel about seeing that.

ETA: Spelling, since apparently because I"m on spring holidays it means I can no longer spell properly.

I think the term conscious uncoupling is THE most ridiculous thing I have heard of so far this year.

You are getting divorced, just own it.

I heard it on the new yesterday. Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband are getting divorced but they are calling it a conscious uncoupling. Oh, and they are closer now then ever.

I mean, I guess I sort of get where you are going with this, but.... diet soda has 0 calories. That is sort of the point.
Science says diet soda makes you fatter than regular soda.

#drinkwater

Ok, but why does it? I can think of a lot of reasons, mostly psychological ones, like people thinking they are saving calories, so they eat more other places.

I don't know, I am just guessing, but I would need more details since fewer calories does not, under normal circumstances equal fatter.

I wasn't even necessarily disagreeing; I was simply pointing out why it doesn't irritate me to see that.

Obviously, water is better. However, I am guessing that diet soda is better (fat-wise) than juice, for example, even though juice is widely accepted as healthier.

because artificial sweeteners are putrid for you and actually confuses your metabolism.

It's just the couple's way of feeling better about themselves and their decision.

taylormarie923 · March 2014

Second+ weddings shouldn't be celebrated any less than first weddings. If a couple is footing the bill what do you care? Oh and early FFFC: I got married on a Thursday. Anniversary date trumps day of the week.

Flips flops all day, son. They are LIT-rally the most comfortable footwear in the world.

I used to binge drink diet coke, not for weight reasons but because I really liked the taste. Trust that I am way heavier now than I was when I lived off diet coke.

Jenball717 · March 2014

Diet soda is a combination of chemicals. There are no calories and yet it tastes sweet and has other flavor? That's not natural. Oh, and sodium for good measure, ick.
I think water is best, of course, but juice would be better than calorie free chemical cancer potion. At least your body knows how to process what is in juice. And the carbonation? Bone loss and bloating are 2 very good reasons to steer clear!

Hmm OK. I drink diet soda and lost over 30 lbs just before I got pregnant. It definitely was not the reason I lost weight (I ate right and exercised) but I definitely did not experience metabolism problems. Obviously I am just one person, so that could be meaningless. But it is enough that I wouldn't judge a person on a diet for drinking diet soda.

It's my understanding that artificial sweeteners make your taste buds/body crave real sugar and you're in danger of going nuts with the sweets. People with self control aren't affected by this as much.

Yep. My kid will not be ready for solids at 5 months, 29 days. But he will DEFT be ready at 6 months.

Weljadraak · March 2014

Saying "conscious uncoupling" instead of divorce is pretentious, but then again, it's Gwenyth Paltrow.

Water is Queen. Diet soda probably won't prevent you from losing weight because the science of losing weight is so simple (provided no medical issues). Water hydrates you which diet soda cannot do.

I wanted to put some sort of UO about family, but it'd probably read more like a confession. The gist is that it's sucky to be a part of a family some time and feel "obligated" to act a certain way because I am like 1% related to you.

Ladies, we can not let this be 5 pages of flip flop debate!

My UO: it pisses me off when people flippantly refer to their preference for organization and order as "my OCD". No, you do not have a debilitating psychological disorder, you are just a neat person.

This can be said about any mental illness so casually thrown around. I feel like it takes away from people who actually have said mental illness and makes the average person think it's NBD.

Amjoy25 · March 2014

I will speak on the topic of diet soda just this once, and then I will go back to cursing @chelseyestelle for hating the best footwear on the planet...diet soda is full of artificial sugars, which have not been proven to cause anything harmful YET, but neither had smoking cigarettes in the 70's. I would be careful about putting fake substances into your body. If you need a soda, drink a real one...but just ONE and not 20 ounces. @taylormarie923 is right. The fake sugars make you crave more sweets, and typically people cave into these cravings. The doctor I work with touts diet sodas in our diet plans...I do NOT. I don't believe they are good for you. Drink water...or beer.

Back to hating @chelseyestelle.

I didn't really get all up in arms that Fred Phelps died. Although I strongly disagree with a lot of hatred put out into the world by WBC, I don't think that the death of their founder is going to stop any further actions of hate by the organization. I didn't praise his death, because a death is a death, even of someone who was so heartless and disgraceful. Plus, hate breeds hate. So, protesting his funeral and showing him the same nasty treatment is only what he would have wanted. The world is rid of a terrible person, but regardless, his family and friends loved him and it is still a death regardless. Protesting his funeral would only show that people have stooped down to his level and allowed him to have the power to hurt them.

Yep.

As a Kansas girl (hmmm, that makes me sound like a hick) I took great notice of his death because he pops up all the time here. There was a time in Topeka (where they live) that it felt like you couldn't step outside without seeing him/his group yelling on the corner because they'd decided that Tuesdays were an abomination . . . or something.

And, while I would have LOVED to go to his funeral with a "Jesus loves you" sign, there was no point. It's the whole stooping to his level phenomenon. I did want to applaud when I saw a pic in the paper of a group with a sign that said "We are sorry for your loss"

Ultimately, I feel sorry for Fred Phelps (and religious haters in general) . . . is your God so small that he/she can't handle another point of view? The God I believe in is not threatened by the views/beliefs of others.
