I think that skipping a hair wash is gross. I know it's good for your hair and that you're supposed to wash every other day, but it just looks greasy and lank.
That's only true for SOME hair. If I wash my hair more than twice a week it gets dry and dull. And it never gets greasy if I don't wash it. When you have thicker wavy hair the every day thing doesn't work.
Same here. Mine looks like it was fried if i wash it more than two or three times per week. I think it depends on hair type. One of my daughters has greasy hair period, so i make her wash hers daily. Drives me nuts.
I can't stand when people write "seen" in the wrong context. For example- " I SEEN the heartbeat today"
NO lady.... You SAW the heartbeat today.
Ahhhh YES! This drives me crazy. I thought I was losing my mind! I even looked it up to make sure this wasn't some weird grammar rule I didn't know about...

SAME!!! I had to look it up too- it's on this board every day, so I doubted myself for a sec. Nice to know I still remember a little something from grade school!
OK OK OK... I'll go though I'm sure I'll get flamed for this one.
I hate the prof pics on TB of people's belly's. Especially when someone is under 15 weeks. I don't have anyone in particular, but it's a pet peeve of mine.
GUILTY!!!! lol. It's not me though. It was a pin b/c all my photos were deleted from my phone. MY UO: My best friend put a "belly" pic of her on Insta at 5 WEEKS as a "throwback" and put "Belly was so tiny. #tbt" NO SHIT!

My UO, I don't want to see anything you've peed on. I get showing it to your husband. But I feel like that's where the pee stick thing should end. I don't want to see it on FB, on a pretty card in my mailbox, or even here on TB.
My biggest UO is everyone shoving the search function down everyone's throat. It just comes off so rude. I know it is recommended but come on y'all.
This is a UO every week. No one is shoving it in anyone's throat. A lot of the "new posts" I personally say it on are people I've never seen post here before. It's good to know the search function and can get a ton of answers from it. I feel like a repeat record. It's not mean nor coming from a rude tone. It's actually helpful.

My problem with being pushed to use the search function is that you may want feedback on your specific concern... If I search for a prior thread and don't find the answer or assurance in what I read, I don't want to post in that thread which may be overlooked or go unanswered.

If you need feedback on a specific concern then absolutely. But "cramping normal"? Is easy to find 100 answers. I'm truly trying to be helpful. And I feel like there's a small handful of people who actually are going on and still answering those threads and introducing the 1x posters to the search function.
If you read the search thread at the top of the page, you will see that we aren't even talking about searching right now.

Why do I even try?
The only ones answering those people who post a question that's been answered or discussed a lot already are the same ones who are reminding people to use the search function. All the others just ignore the poor soul and then complain about the nice ones who are trying to help. ya cant win.
Mine is people who post stupid questions like "I just ate ____, did I hurt my baby?" Maybe you should have thought about that BEFORE you ate it. And do your research. End rant.
Ugh! My UO- I'm paranoid about m/c, had 2, we have a farm so some lifting is inevitable but I'm careful. We bought a new rabbit hutch (honkin things takes two strong people to carry it ) and hubs is all like "just carry it, its probably less that 25 lbs on your half, who am I gonna get to help me anyway?" UM HELLO I will kick you. I will not be risking my baby's life so you don't have to ask a friend over to help you move something. Not my fault you hate talking to people! I love him but he can be such a turd!
Oh I have a real one: when you're trying to be quiet about your pregnancy and only tell people very close to you, and some asshat decides that your personal info (EVEN THO YOURR WHISPERING OR HIDING THE U/S PHOTOS) are suddenly everyone's business and can't shut the heck up. I told one lady at the farmers market that I wasn't sharing my u/s pics with her because they're not her business and I don't even know her. She doesn't get to know before the important people in my life. Step off!
my UO is that when people post that theyre not doing any testing (note i'm 100% cool with not doing testing) only because "i wouldn't have an abortion" i don't think they should be able to have children. man i'm mean today but that ignorance reeaaallly gets me.

I agree @meg3103 when it comes to generic info and not specifics. I don't start a new thread until after I searched and was unsuccessful in finding response. But I don't think you should have to put a disclaimer saying you already searched, nor should people point out the search function in an unkind manner (not saying that you are unkind in your reminders...to be honest, I don't really pay much attention to who posted what).
I stopped reading the search thread when it got to 5 pages and the tone was generally snarky...no time for that. When did people stop adhering to the golden rules of do unto others as you want done to you OR if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything at all?!?
That's my UO: if you don't have something positive or meaningful to contribute, scroll on by!
My UO is going to be extremely unpopular. I cannot express how much it bothers me when people expect endless amounts of gifts for basically just doing normal things in life. Somebody mentioned being in weddings earlier. I'm not saying anything against that, all I'm saying is that I paid for every one of my bridesmaids dresses as well as their hotel rooms. Because I think it's very rude to expect somebody else to spend money to do you a favor. We specifically asked on our invitations that people do not give us gifts. In all fairness, we really didn't need anything… So I think registering is fine, but keep it under control. For that matter, add on bachelorette parties and bridal showers that the bride expects other people not only to organize but also to pay for. Then they expect everybody to give them an expensive gift for both an engagement party and the wedding. Next pregnancy comes around and you expect more gifts for your child at your shower. Then each birthday expect your friends to give your child something. If you have more than one child and more than one shower, how wonderful! You never have to spend a dime.
I'm not against registering or having gifts or showers. It's the people that are expecting that everybody should give them something extraordinarily expensive or lavish that bothers me the most.
And this is not aimed against people that do not have items already and have a harder time affording them. It's for people that already have anything they can want that is tangible and expect to keep being gifted other items by people around them.

My UO this week is that I've been bored with the boards. Yes, I'm pregnant. Yes, I have a baby. But I also have other interests. Wish we had more threads about our life experiences extending beyond showers, diapers, and nursery decor.

My UO for today is that I hate hate hate the Kardashians and everything associated with them. I have friends who gossip about them as if they're people they actually know and it drives me insane. They're famous for being rich and famous and that's literally it. Ugh ok rant over lol
My UO: I hate parties. I can't get past it feeling like a dog-and-pony show. I had a tiny wedding, & a co-ed bridal shower where we played games and the gifts were unwrapped it on a table because we all knew what we were getting; we had registered for it. The only reason we had a bridal shower was because the families hadn't met. I'm not having a baby shower, and when my MIL was talking about cute 1st bday invites she made for a client (she has a business) she mentioned something about a theme when it's time for us. I said 'for what?' She said 'Your child's first birthday party.' I said 'Well, if we have one...' and got no further because she started panicking. I told her we'll acknowledge our child's birthday, but we don't need themed invitations to do it. UO indeed!
My UO is people feeling the need to defend what they feel in regards to someone else's UO. In life. On this board. Everybody take several seats.
My other UO is the arrogance I feel I get from some moms about motherhood. This is my first child. Everything the first time is a little bit scary, a little extra special, and fun to gab about. Can I have my first time without opinions from other moms? I'm not asking anybody for help or their opinions unless they are my OB or my family! This is a strong off the board feeling because I try not to read the posts that would bring it up on the boards.
