Re: UO

  • My DS refuses to sleep unless he is on his stomach.  This tired momma has caved in and lets him.  He is still in my room in his PNP beside the bed, so I'm able to keep a close eye on him.  I feel bad knowing "back is best" but this momma is just going with it.

    Wow! I agree with you.

    However, I find tickers that say someone is 103 weeks pregnant a little humorous. I try to imagine what she would look like that far pregnant. And the agony she must be in...

    And no matter how many times I've been told by MIL (or whoever) to use gripe water I agree, hiccups are natural. If they get bad, I BF LO and they go away.



  • @babycaps about the jeans...not sure if you have one by you, but I get my "boot cuts" at Marshall's, Burlington Coat Factory, and Kohls of course carries them. I'm not sure I could even pull off skinny jeans, as I'm not skinny lol

    I agree with @WisconsinCheese12‌ on hiccups and gripe water. My UO....I don't love shopping! Especially for clothes. I hate the skinny, boyfriend, straight leg cut jeans, they do no good on the side of faltering a woman's body, especially those of us who have wide hips. I'm pissed that some brands don't even carry a boot cut anymore (loft).
    LOFT doesn't carry bootcut anymore!?! WTF? They were my go-to brand of jeans for a good, flattering cut.

    I know we've gone through this one before but it really bothers me when people pick and choose vaccines, delay, or just don't vaccinate period (unless there is a very good reason). My friend chose not to do the chicken pox vaccine and is mad that her doctor is refusing to provide care. Call me crazy, naive, too trusting, whatever, but I have a degree in education, not medicine. I'm going to do what medical professionals suggest because they know more than I do. If I can prevent my kids from getting sick, even if it's something as simple as the chicken pox, I'm going to do it.
    (Also, I have several scars from chicken pox because I got it so bad. I may not remember it but my mom does and she felt terrible.)

    Let the flaming begin.


    Well put. I agree with you. I get paid the big bucks to teach (ha!) so should my doctors who know best in their field. If you don't trust the professionals to know what's best for your children, then why do you use their services? They know what they are doing.
  • I don't like pop music. And by "pop" I mean "mainstream." I don't like pop, hip-hop, R&B/Soul, country, rock, new age, or "alternative." Name an artist and I probably don't like them.

    I listen to classical, folk, classic jazz, and american roots music.

    I agree about the vaccine stuff.  Not that I think we have that many people on this board that would disagree.

    My UO is that I don't think it's a big deal to talk or make eye contact with my LO in the middle of the night.Maybe it'll bite me in the butt later, but right now she goes back down fine.

    Sorry, didn't mean to make you think I usually disagree with you.

    I meant it more as 'you're reading my miiiind!!!'. Lol.

  • I meant to write this last week, but I barely got online last Thursday... I think nail polish on infants looks...trashy. There. I said it.

  • I definitely agree about the skinny jeans. Some people can wear them, most can't or shouldn't, I'm one of ten and haven't even tried on a pair ever.

    I can't stand ten boy drivers with hyped up cars that think they can do anything. One kid cut me off within inches and I almost hit him. Slamme on brakes, the road was wet and my tires slid. Both kids were in the car and I was ticked.

    I hate the thick, round lollipops. Dd thinks they're awesome til she can't finish it and just complains about being sticky. Who ever finishes one of those?

  • I have a list :)
    1. I hate skinny jeans
    2. I hate reality tv
    3. People who don't vaccinate are stupid
    4. And my last one is people who take their Los out in public only wearing a diaper.
  • @babycaps the "rock star" cut jeans from old navy are my favorite boot cut jeans. I was a skinny punk rock kid in high school and have been wearing skinny jeans exclusively since 9th grade. I used to buy jeans and sew them because they didn't make them skinny enough. I still wear and love my skinny jeans, but I don't sew them anymore.

    I can't remember my UO. I am delirious today.

    People do this?



    I seen it yesterday at the grocery store, not the first time but it irritates me!
  • I thought Inception was great the first time I watched it. My UO is that I think it got exponentially less exciting the second time I watched it. It's like watching a magic trick when you know the secrets of the trick. :/

    My UO I hate little 'holidays' where you're expected to buy gifts for people.. I HATE buying gifts. Its so stressful to me. People never use or appreciate the shit you buy for them anyway and its such a waste of my hard earned money. The holidays im referring to are like mothers day and fathers day and birthdays for ADULTS! Its just annoying to me. My ILs celebrate Everyone's birthday and everyone expects gifts. Your a grown adult. You dont need gifts or a special birthday dinner every.single.year. Im sure this is a very UO.

    And also, I just popped my UO cherry!

    Can you join my family??!!!
    It might just be you and me, but I'd be okay with that.
    I've been saying this for YEARS!!!

    I don't celebrate much at all. But my family and my ILs make such a big deal out of everything.
    I am also anti-birthday gift and party for adult. I will give someone "big birthdays", but I do not have any desire to have a party or have a bunch of people buy me gifts. Dinner and a gift from DH is more than enough for me.

    I don't know if this is an UO, but December birthdays suck. My birthday is just a few days before Christmas and I hate it. I refused to try to conceive if it was going to mean a holiday baby because I hate my birth date so much.

  • I only buy jeans at American Eagle. They go on sale a lot, they have all the styles I like, and I find them the most flattering. Old Navy jeans give me saggy butt.

    This! I hate going in there because it looks like the 90's took over lately. But they have the best jeans/jean shorts.
    On a sad note, I bought 3 pairs of size 6 jean shorts last summer before I knew I was pregnant :(( looks like mommy has some baby weight to lose.

    I don't get why moms get insulted when ppl say baby looks like daddy. Mia looks just like her dad, I would love if she looked more like me, but I don't get offended when ppl notice that she does on fact look like her dad.

    Both boys look like DH (DS1 more so, but he doesn't have my genetics so I don't mind at all). When people say DS2 looks like DH I say "thanks he is handsome just like his dad...but I grew him" and smile because it's true. I don't understand why it bothers people either. He contributed to their genetic make up too.
    My husband has long, thick lashes and super cute dimples. I WANTED LO to look like him, and got so excited when she inherited both those traits! I don't get insulted at all, never understood women that do. I know a girl that dyed her hair brunette because her baby is brunette like her husband and she hates people saying she looked like him. So weird.

    Ooh—I hate whenever people ask me my baby's name, then ask me what I'm going to call her. I'm going to call her what I named her!

    Yes!! 10000 times YES! This drives me insane! I named her that name for a reason. I know she'll get a nickname eventually but at the moment I couldn't care less what her nickname will be. That is something usually decided once they get to school.

  • My child listens to 80's rock and things like The Deftones, Chevelle, A Perfect Circle....I'm sure DH has played Black Flag and other punk and ska for him also.

    Be still my heart.
