UO??

313Meg · May 2015

Anyone have some unpopular opinions? BC I SURE DO!

313Meg · May 2015

I CAN'T STAND it when people use words like "wen" "cuz" and such. It makes me twitch!! And let's be honest, it doesn't take that much longer to spell out "when" with an "h". I get it that it's more of a younger culture thing, and I just cant jump on that bandwagon!! Now "lol" and "haha" are things that I do on the "reg".

I will be a smart ass and add something silly to a word like "googlez" when I am feeling spunky.

Athomas1341 · May 2015

Well of course I have an UO! I feel terrible for even saying this but...breast feeding weirds me out

I did it with my first for a month, but it really was not my thing. I look at breasts as more of a sexual thing I guess. I'm sure I'm one in a million when it comes to that opinion! Ha!

caseybeth1213 · May 2015

I don't like when people have second baby showers when they just had a baby a year ago. This one will probably be unpopular but that I always feel annoyed when I get invited to those showers and fell obligated to go

If you plan on having more than one baby make your big ticket items gender neutral!

SaraC381 · May 2015

I didn't get into breast feeding much either. Both my boys went about 2 and a half months and I have to say, I was kinda glad when they went strictly to the bottle.

I hate the words preggo and preggers. Please don't call me a jar of tomato sauce!

I guess my unpopular opinion (if it's an opinion) is that I'm one of the few that actually has no desire to be a stay at home mom. I love my kids to death, but I can't do it for my sanity's sake.

313Meg · May 2015

You probably are a million in 1 with that one. But it's not for everyone.
I am still breastfeeding my 20 mo old. (I'm ready to be done, it's just easy for us right now). I was able to get over the weirdness after I had such a battle to get him to latch properly. I was so focused on actually feeding my child via breastfeeding. I didn't have time to think about it any other way.
Now it's just a matter of I want my body back.

Blake&Blair · May 2015

character clothing, character bedding and overly kitschy themed rooms- no thank you.

Blake&Blair · May 2015

oh and referring to your own husband as another child really, really annoys me and makes me feel sorry for you.

Angelface225 · May 2015

I'm planning to eat sushi through my entire pregnancy. I did a shit-load of research and feel comfortable with eating at my neighbourhood sushi restaurant, where I've never gotten sick and everything is really fresh.

VesperLove · May 2015

Man. Im on board with almost all the UOs today. Technology slang kills me, i have no desire to BF (but will give it a shot), cant imagine being a SAHM, and want a super simple and neutral nursery.

BostonBaby1 · May 2015

My UO is probably not that unpopular amongst some of the women here… I don't think that we should have to be so polite on this board. I'm not against manners, and I am all for giving somebody a chance… But I'm getting very sick of all of the annoying posts and reactions. I would love to be able to say something that violates TOU... And by all means, if somebody wants to call me a bitch or a moron that's fine too!

I don't call my husband a child per se. But he wants the same amount of atthention and to be treated like our son. He is a little boy at heart. And I love that about him. He is an amazing, successful, driven man and still has that little one who loves to be taken care of. It's nothing to feel sorry for. It makes me love him more.
And no I don't call him my 2nd child nor do I call him a little boy. That's annoying.

Angelface225 · May 2015

I hear you @BostonBaby1 I miss the old Knot days, when my favorite board was Snarky Brides!

313Meg · May 2015

There should be a level of snark. But if someone is on a witch hunt or just a bitch... Then I don't like that. I do dislike editing half the crap I post.

BabyOnBoard1215 · May 2015

If I post my UO I will probably get reported...

I was never on the old board but it sounds like I would've liked it!

313Meg · May 2015

Lol @BabyOnBoard1215. Now I wanna know

CMDD · May 2015

Oh @blake&blair I'm so with you on both of those things

I can't stand all of the acronyms and abbreviations. I still say whatever you should've typed out in my head as I read it and I feel like I'm constantly looking up what things mean. I get some of the more common things that we're all saying 1,000 times like DH, DD, DS, u/s, etc. But what the hell is UO? I thought it was missing an F and this post was going to be about aliens or something!

CMDD · May 2015

@danapackla unpopular opinion

gatorgrad11 · May 2015

Ok, this will probably make all of you hate me. As a mom with HG I'm struggling being supportive of other women with morning sickness. Part of me wants to say "suck it up. You have no idea how bad it could be." I know nausea isn't easy no matter the severity, and I would never say those things to moms but I have the thoughts. Maybe it's because I'm already over having a PICC line, but either way I've felt like a major bitch all week so I just don't open the posts about being sick. Ok, I'll run and hide now.

If you read the rest of the post you will see it says Unpopular opinions.

The bump in general encourages the use of acronyms. I've posted the glossary in the past. Thats super helpful. Sometimes I sill get lost. But when something is talked about so frequently it's easier to abbreviate.

I don't know if all bmb's (birth month board) are the same... But we had days designated for certain topics. When I was in S13.

Monday's- Monday bitchfest
Wed- HDBD (hump day bump day)
Thurs- UO (unpopular opinions)
Fri- FFFC (Flame free Friday confessions)

It was a great way to get to know each other!!

CMDD · May 2015

Super UO: I hate the posts where we're supposed to list all the crap we're eating. There's a child in there who needs nutrition. I know it's hard but come on eat a fruit instead of a pack of Doritos.

That's understandable

313Meg · May 2015

Or eat a fruit and Doritos!

BabyOnBoard1215 · May 2015

It's really that I am tired of all of the duplicate posts. I tried to do a weekly appointment post where you post if you had an appointment this week and then once you had the appointment, what were the results. But we still have tons of separate posts on how the appointments went, (I don't count the T&Ps posts, those are different). I tired of seeing new posts about poop and puke or about not having an symptoms is bad. You know what I've only had two "symptoms", sore boobs and a positive pregnancy test and both baby and I are fine AND I needed to wait until 9 weeks for the Dr to tell me that. People really need to relax and not stress so much. If it is meant to be its meant to be.

PS: I wore pink yesterday.

There's a lot of special snowflakes and not enough snark to keep the group organized

I ate sushi throughout my first pregnancy and all was good! @Angelface225 it right - good research does say sushi is absolutely fine to have while pregnant (just avoid lots of high Mercury fish, such as tuna). My daughter is perfect and I was very happy to be able to give into my sushi cravings!

taking care of your husband =/= treating him like a child. acting as if your husband is incapable of doing anything, he is an inconvenience to you and only adds to the problem is ridiculous. I'm a sahm and get majority of the housework done because when H is home I don't want to spend time cleaning with him, i'd rather do fun stuff in that time frame. But that doesn't mean I'm his maid and pick up after him 24/7.

Another uo- my husband and our marriage comes first, above our children and will always be #1.

taysun · May 2015

Not sure it's an unpopular opinion but seems to be unusual from what I've seen, I have developed an extreme aversion to pickles and seeing people talk about them makes me sick!

SaraC381 · May 2015

@Blake&Blair I'm so happy to see someone else say that husband comes before children! I absolutely hate seeing moms call their son the love of their lives. Ummm...what happened to the guy you married???

taysun · May 2015

@Blake&Blair I'm a stay at home as well and I do all the cleaning and laundry etc when my boyfriend is working because I'd much rather do the not so fun stuff when I'm alone instead of missing out on fun time together

GardenMama116 · May 2015

My UO pertains to the people that need to constantly see the baby to feel close to it. I see it on here and also out in the world hearing what other people are doing (weekly trips to the US place to see the baby, WTF?). 20 years ago, you had a sonogram at 20 weeks and that was it AND it was only 2D. Am I the only person on the planet that thinks that there haven't been enough long-term studies to support the opinion they are safe? And I don't want the Doppler either. If doc wants to listen for the heartbeat, get out the stethscope and horn. Yes, I am a FTM and am going with the less medical intervention, the better baby and I will be.

3D ultrasounds creep me out.

@BabyOnBoard1215 - Hubby said same thing. He's glad our doc's office doesn't offer and said he won't be going to one of those US places either. Fine by me

Agreed, but I guess my UO is that I just don't care that much. I don't mean that to sound terrible, but I'm taking the "things are going to go the way they go even if I don't see the baby every week" approach. I don't need to see it, I don't need to hear it. I have confirmation that it's in there and that's about all I need. I'm living day to day, my life isn't only about being pregnant, and I'm not about to live in a little bubble focused only on bringing this child into the world. If I start bleeding or cramping or have any other indication that something might be wrong, obviously I'll do what any pregnant mom would do ... but until then, I honestly don't concern myself at all about when my next appointment is going to be.

You're very privileged to be able to feel this way. Enjoy it
