I didn't see this yet, so I figured I'd start. Spill them and be judged!

foodie12rn · November 2014

I hate Kim Kardashian and I think she looks like she's standing in a trash bag in the new photo that's going around.

catahoulatte · November 2014

Did you guys see Buzzfeed's "The internet's response to Kim's picture"? It was hysterical.

ETA: https://www.buzzfeed.com/elliewoodward/the-internet-has-a-lot-of-feelings-about-kim-kardashians-but

One of my favorites was "Surprised it wasn't @ Photoshop who released the @ KimKardashian arse picture this morning... Especially with all the work they contributed"

Figured that would be a legit follow up question. I added it!

foodie12rn · November 2014

@catahoulatte‌ -I'm in hysterics here.

My favorite "The shower at Kim Kardashian's house has 3 settings: hot, cold, and canola oil".
This made me snort!

Did you guys see the vag picture this morning? FFS, you're someone's mother!

I am over a lot of "Pinterest trendy" things including chevron, cutesy mustache stuff, mason jars as glassware, etc.

I think one of my pregnancy symptoms is the growing desire to flame people who create new "OMG, I have no symptoms! Am I dyinggg? Help!!!" posts.

Is this normal? HELP.

I know there's tons of new people every day, most of whom are new to forums in general. But GD read the Welcome post/blog and FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.

I'm having trouble sounding nice on my replies at this point. I can only say "check out the symptoms thread!" so many times.

I would love to be more snarky in response to these posts, but I don't want to show my try bitch side just yet. Every time I read one of these posts, I'm spewing expletives in my head

I love that one too! DH and I were cracking up last night.

And I can't look at that one because 1-I'm at work, and 2-I just can't. Ew. It is so sad that she still feels the need to sell her body out to feel valued. She's a grown woman with a child. It's just...sad.

ETA: I have no problem with someone showing a little skin because sex appeal is huge. I'm not a prude. And there are classy ways to do it. But she is so far away from classy it's not even funny.

No way. Mason jars and chevron for life. I could live without the cutest mustache stuff though.

rachsolimani · November 2014

I don't care what anyone says, I'm a Kardashian fan. They're gorgeous and have great style. You can't deny their PR stunts are working and thus brining them more attention because we all buy into it and talk about them and "break the internet" That being said, this new photoshoot is dumb. No I don't think she's photoshopped(spray tan and oil will hide a lot) but I am just tired of seeing her naked. She's showed us all before, we get it, yawn.

The time will come.

UO: I hope that these first time moms who freak about everything go away. I tried my best to freak only to DH and not on public forums. I don't need the rest of the world to know I'm BSC. LOL!

I will agree with you that the Kardashians have good fashion style. The PR stunts are definitely working. However I'd hate to be one of her children and discover my mother became famous from a sex tape and stayed that way by airing her personal drama on tv and the tabloids. Why would she think it's attractive to balance a champagne glass on her ass? Trashy.

AngelaPlus3 · November 2014

I think mine is definitely unpopular....

I can't stand how crazy people get over their "fur babies". They are pets! They are not people and they are nothing like babies. I think the fur baby Friday post on my last bmb was the only one I consistently refused to click on and everytime I saw it I got annoyed.

Sorry but my crazy pregnancy hormones just had to get that off my chest.

At least ask Dr. Google before you look like a complete asshat to a forum of Internet strangers. I did this plenty of times when I was pregnant with my first. Hell, I still consult Google on a regular basis. If you saw my search history, you'd think I was a total loon!

I don't have any pets and my mom is constantly telling me: I don't understand, her dog is her baby, etc.
I'm sorry, but you really can't compare not having anyone to take your dog out to leaving my 22 month old home alone for 7 hours?!

Also, I hate the term "fur babies".

Sorry, totally disagree. My cats are a part of the family and they are definitely more than pets. No, of course they are not the same as human children, but they are still important to us and still a part of our family.

I agree that pets are part of the family and definitely more than pets!

I wholeheartedly agree! As a first time mom who is thorough about doing her internet research, I have seriously had it with other first time (and second, third, etc.) moms who seemingly don't think, research, or even read what other people are going through before posting on here.

I'm totally okay with people having strong love for animals and saying they are part of the family. My problem comes when people act like they are children and actual babies. Like @hoping&waiting12 said, the pets can be left at home for an appointment or for a quick day trip. My 8 month old son, definitely not.

I don't call my dogs "fur babies" or confuse them with my child, but they are part of our family. They would do absolutely anything to protect us, love my DS and my H and I unconditionally, and we in turn love them to bits.

Nah, it's definitely photoshopped. Look at her spine- it's not even in the right place relative to her supposed waistline. I think they took a picture of her ass from one angle and her upper body from another, and stuck them together to get a more exaggerated look. And then warped in her waistline for even more cartoonish proportions (you can see that if you look closely- look how fuzzy her left side looks.) This kind of stuff is done ALL the time, the only reason this example is even worth commenting on is because they did such a crappy job at it.

(former professional photo retoucher here)

slweaver0626 · November 2014

@amc2511 minus that horrible turkey ( which will haunt us until Thanksgiving is over) you seem pretty straight forward. And I did not expect you to be a FTM by your participation.

THIS. I think there are two kinds of people who end up on forums like this. People who are intelligent and self-directed, who know how to do research and figure things out for themselves, who come here to socialize, share information, and ask the sort of questions that google can't help you with.

And there are the kind of people who treat internet forums as their personal google butlers. People who don't know how to find out the answer to simple questions or, more likely, who are too lazy to do so. Why bother typing a search query and sorting through some results to get an answer when you can post it on a forum and have a dozen people answer directly to you? Especially since you are a unique snowflake and your situation is TOTALLY different from the other 35 people who just asked the exact same thing.

It's not completely unpopular. I tend to agree. I understand they are part of the family and so many people see them as more than just a pet. But its gets a bit out of control. My cousin's German Shepherd died the day after Christmas in 2013. For the first four weeks his wife would post of FB how she was going to die w/o their lady in her life. After a month had passed she puts the month anniversary of the dog's death and she still can't live w/o her and every day its harder and harder to breathe and how she can't go on. I mean I get it..its sad but I think some people are wayyyyyy too dramatic about their "fur babies."

No. Just no. Losing a family pet can be extremely hard on people, and in many cases it can hit people just as hard as losing a person. Saying they are just being dramatic is ridiculous. Who are you to tell them what they're feeling about their loss and whether it's ok for them to feel it?

This 100%

I was reading a great article yesterday that really summed up my feelings on the topic: https://jezebel.com/is-mommy-becoming-a-dirty-word-1656918859

I'm also going to be a FTM, and this pregnancy was planned, and I'm excited about the baby. But I have a lot of ambivalence and conflicting feelings about the cultural baggage around motherhood. We're all expected to be subsumed into selfless nurturing robot "Mommies" the second we procreate, and everything that came before- our experiences and aspirations and personalities- no longer matter. The only thing we're supposed to care about is our kids. And our partners aren't expected to do anything remotely similar. Once you have a kid you're a MOM, and that label trumps all others.

Some people may identify with that and totally embrace it, and that's great for them. But It's not me and it's never going to be.

Same. I have zero desire to be a "mommy"

I spent a hell of a lot of time finding myself. I have no desire to throw that out the window now.

lindylogana · November 2014

Drives me nuts when people post pictures of their kids/ babies and say things like "the most beautiful baby in the world". I'm sorry, your baby is cute, but so are a lot of babies.

OctoberStars · November 2014

My uo is people who get annoyed by people like me who love their pets and feel the need to remind us that they are not children. I get it, I don't have kids so I can't compare my situation to yours. I'm also not trying to compare it. My pets are what they are in my life, which happens to be pretty central. Stop telling me your relationship with your kids is more significant. I don't care.

Well I told her nothing. And she can feel anything she wants to feel. I ignored her posts on FB because I think she is looking for people to feel sorry for her. And she brings it up every month with pictures to remind everyone that she had this loss in her life. And I will always call her dramatic. That's my opinion.

I will feel that way when my dog dies. She is my baby and I love her to peices. BUT I will not post it all over facebook like that. I hate oversharers like that on social media. I think some people are just wayyyyyyy too dramatic on facebook about everything.

When my cat died in my arms, it took me over a year not to burst into tears everytime I thought of her. I should have just told myself I was being dramatic, that would have solved everything. People grieve differently, if it makes her feel better to share photos, good for her.

I have no idea what a UO even is because I don't live on the internet using fake language. I thought this forum was for support from other pregnant women. I guess I was very wrong. I hope you ladies are more patient with your children...let's set a good example huh?

Want a personalized experience?
