Post your unpopular opinions here!

Disclaimer for newbs: if you say something worth flaming, you will likely get flamed even if you say, well it says opinions and that's my opinion...

I saw an 11 month old baby girl at Gymboree open gym the other day wearing gold studs and a gold chain bracelet. I think jewelry on babies looks ridiculous and tacky.

I don't think it's right that homeless animals get more concern than our homeless Vets. Yeah, I don't think any of it is right, but people who fought for is, lived and watched their friends die doing the same get less concern than stray cats. I don't get that.

Ryan Reynolds is so much hotter than Burt Reynolds

CoozieInMyPurse · June 2014

@4RingCircus - Both are hot...Hello, that scene in the Proposal? Whoa... However, I've loved Burt for so long now, though, that I can't ever give that up. (Early Burt, not slightly creepy, older Burt).

I side-eye my friends who pierce their infant daughters' ears. They say it's better because they won't remember it happening and they'll want it anyway. What if your kid's a tomboy and doesn't want pierced ears?

I think gender reveal parties are stupid

We will find out our gender right around my birthday, so I was going to combine them bc my inlaws are super big into them. Since our second child and no shower- I figure this makes them happy, one less party to have to deal w and hell- cake. Lmbo. Otherwise probably wouldn't do.

I'm down for anything that involves cake!

My ears have been pierced 4 times. The 1st time I was one. I guess I use to wrap my little pony's tail around them & they kept getting infected. I chose to pierce them again when I was 12 after we figured out I am allergic to anything under 14k gold. Darn expensive ears.

@Momarazzi007‌ I'm an animal lover, but DH is an Army vet so I completely agree with you.

I really don't think it does get more attention, but neither get the attention they deserve. Homelessness, vet or not, is a huge largely ignored issue. The statistics on homeless children are disturbing.

I also have sensitive skin. Getting my ears pierced was a big deal and an awesome memory of getting to be a big girl. I got them done when I asked for them and could care for them. It was special to go get them done with my mom, I'll do the same if my daughter ever asks for them. Those first holes are my best, my other two closed, and I had sensitivity issues with my nose stud. I had to get a super expensive one in order not to have an ugly irritated bump.

ETA: fucking quote box.

I really don't like sayings on maternity shirts...or what I mean to say, I think it's stupid that women who are pregnant WANT these sayings on their shirts. Yea, we know your pregnant, your excited, etc., but you don't need to announce it to everyone.

To show how ridiculous some are:

AGREE!!!! I'm totally considering a shirt with a pumpkin or jack o'lantern for Halloween though... Hopefully will be sporting a nice bump by then...

I think dressing up for Halloween and having a shirt like what you mentioned is totally fine, it's just when you randomly see women wearing shirts like the ones above I don't like.

You should have a itty bump by then

MrsLaurenandDan · June 2014

@Beary+Ghastly‌ the only one I've ever seen that I likes had a loading bar and said "please be patient". I had a coworker who wore that as she got close to her due date.

I'm getting myself this t-shirt when I hit the 12 week mark:

It's been a long (sometimes painful) road and I think I deserve a laugh if I can reach that milestone

cafecreme · June 2014

I totes agree, @jessuhmarie :P

Momarazzi007 · June 2014

Ok, so a lot of those pregnant t-shorts bother me too- but I did just get a few bc I made one for myself last time w a 1-up mushroom and I loved it and never really saw anyone w that, I also got this one- bc, well, baby dust and unicorns lmao https://www.cafepress.com/mf/76627322/cute-unicorn-fart-toot_maternity?productId=742326338
Also I'm a big geek and am making one Doctor Who related. :-B

I love second baby showers. I might give a little side eye to 3rd plus (unless it's the first of either sex) but unless you're throwing it yourself... I'll be there squealing over the cuteness

YellowBag · June 2014

Late to the party, but I don't mind words like preggers, prego, etc. in moderation, dislike gender reveal parties, want pierced ears to be something my kid has to look forward to (and earn as a privilege maybe), enjoy second baby showers as long as they're not overtly gift grabby (it's a second kid, not a second marriage), and dislike all gimmicky t-shirts (maternity or otherwise).

My UO, I think dresses and skirts are more comfortable than pants and shorts. It's fine if its not your personal style, but I don't understand anyone who refuses to wear a dress due to the comfort factor.

I see no problem with a shower for a second wedding, particularly if it isn't a second for both. I certainly don't see it as somehow worse than a second baby shower.

Also, pants vs skirts: chub rub and sweaty thighs aren't comfortable.

I live in empire waist dresses all summer long. Anything else is too hot. I can get the discomfort factor of thighs rubbing together; I have it too. What I don't get is women who don't wear dresses because they think they are unflattering. To me, dresses are so much easier to get a good, attractive fit in.

Truthfully, I don't have a problem with a shower for a second wedding either. I'm fully on board for a second bachelorette party. I support drinking and debauchery.

As an educator, I am so sick of acronyms, but they do serve their purpose. What I hate is when they are used incorrectly. Acronyms are not arbitrary, people, those letters stand for words, so the order matters. I can't tell you how often I see people say "My OU is..." It drives me fucking batty. Your opinion unpopular? Nope.

ETA quote boxes suck.

wendyld · June 2014

I loathe all of the dh, dd, ds, etc. mostly because the words they stand for are dumb. Nobody talks like that.

I also hate "We're pregnant" too. My husband is certainly not pregnant.
