  I have one! thanks to @tatertat3!

  
  

  
  

  I don't like beer!  I haven't tried anything but mainstream beers (is that what they're called?) but I have never tasted a beer I liked. I can tolerate coronas but that's about it.

  Right there with you, @deeds. Gimmie all the vodkas.

  
  

  
  

  And I would rather cover my flapjacks in vodka than in fake syrup. Maple syrup or bust!

  I put Nutella and banana on an Eggo the other day and I felt like I'd never made a better decision in my life.

  Not a fan of beer either, @deedee1017‌ & @hlb622‌! Unless I've had 4 sex on the beach's, two vodka & cranberry, and some mikes hard strawberry lemonade... THEN some reds apple ale doesn't taste *too* bad.

  Is it offensive to say "let's dia-beat-this!"?

  I used to like Nutella, then I read the ingredients.
  
  Justin's Hazelnut Cocoa butter is superior. Because it isn't canned frosting disguising itself as a "nutritious breakfast spread".

  Oh my god, I used to eat vanilla frosting from a can when I was a kid then hide it and hope my mom just thought she forgot to buy it.

  I once necked a 5oz bottle of real maple syrup because my boss bet me $50 I couldn't drink the bottle in 2 min. I did it in one shot. Easiest $50 I ever made.

  Probably not a surprise, but that's unpopular with me. I think your (general) children should see you feel emotions and cry. Crying isn't a sign of weakness or not being strong. Kids should see that mom and dad aren't just stone cold rocks.

  I think it's also our job to teach our children how to express our emotions appropriately, and that it's okay to be sad or angry or have hurt feelings. I don't think the child should see ALL the emotions all the time, but I remember my mom crying when she told me one of my elementary school friends was pregnant in 9th grade. She was sad that my friend's childhood was over and that she was going have to leave the private school we had gone to together, and that her life would be totally different now. My dad cries all the time at movies, classical music, theatre productions... I think it's good to demonstrate that men are allowed to show emotions, too.
  
  Exactly this! Thanks for speaking what I was thinking lol

  I'm with @carriet2018, ::shocked not shocked gif::....people are doing the best they can to raise their kids within their own situation and circumstances. We represent such a small sample of women who had babies, and in my experience, people do not research the bejesus out of everything before they make a decision. It's fine to want everyone's kids to be safe, but we cannot control what everyone does...also natural selection. #imkidding

  
  

  
  

  I honestly don't care what kind of milk you feed your child. Just don't come in here with your high and mighty, "my kid gets xyz milk, you are you giving WCM? You're doing it wrong", holier then thou attitude...and we will be just fine.

  I made cheesecake for my birthday.  If you were here I'd share with you so I could eat your piece  lol
  

  lol. My friend's kid Natalie has the same concept of sharing. She says, "look mom! I'm sharing!" and takes a toy away from her brother.

  Well maybe Wilford Brimley should say the word correctly because he's the reason people say Beetus!

  
  

  Seriously, though, I don't equate people calling it "the beetus" with people not taking it seriously like @jennlin's ILs. I think those are generally 2 separate issues.

  
  

  Another example is "the hep" and "the HIV". Obviously, those are both very serious diseases and I think that most people take them seriously. Even if they say them in a silly way from time to time.

  
  

  I don't think that simply using those terms means that the person does not recognize it as a serious disease.

  I never thought much about it before, but I think I'm with @Connorsmama2006‌ on this one. I think giving a silly name to anything trivializes it. No one would think to give cancer a lighthearted nickname (I hope).

  The same blogger that was instrumental in getting Subway to take chemicals out of their bread is not targeting Starbucks and their Pumpkin Spice Latte. Good for her with Subway, but back off my PSL!
  
  (Really I got to local coffee shops when I have a few extra bucks, but I do like me a PSL in the fall.)

  Successful UO!!!! I could be wrong but I don't think she means crying bc your husband is leaving for months. I think its like crying bc there is a traffic jam, or crying bc dinner didn't finish in time. I would like to go on record as a crier. Happy or sad. You want ur kid to show emotions..... But u don't want them to get paralyzed in sadness and not problem solve. There is no avoiding some of my cries....but I will hide it given the situation. I'm super sensitive to a fault. I don't want DD to be that.
  
  

  Thanks for translating my thoughts!! #makeoutwithme
  
  But I'm glad I had a successful UO! \:D/

  To further translate: bratty, "I didn't get my way" crying will not be tolerated my by adults in front of my kids in this house!
