I think rompers are really ugly. Maybe it's because I have entirely too much booty to fit them but I think they look like toddler clothes for grown women. They look terrible unless you're shaped like Taylor Swift.
Nooooooo I love my rompers!! I choose carefully and critically, but I gotta have 'em (although admittedly they are not bump-friendly).
I do hate flower crowns on grown-ass women, ftr.
My UO is that I hate maternity photoshoots. Especially if they involve nudity. And especially especially if they involve me. And my friend is making me do one with her (she's a pro photographer) in Belize in 4 weeks. And she has a list of crap I need to bring for the photos (outfits, accessories).
It's a gift, and this is very sweet of her. She is also very talented. But I don't wannnnnaaaaa (
Oh man! I love floral crowns for maternity shoots! I also love some rompers, however I tried one on pregnant thinking it was a dress and was mortified!!
I hate shorts that don't cover people's asses. Like come on don't you get enough attention at home?
I hate those little girl pants that have tiers of ruffles and 5 different colors and patterns. They are so popular in my area. I'm having a girl. My SIL's keep sending me pics of them saying "look how cute!" I don't want to hurt their feelings, but those things look like something a circus clown wears. My child is not a circus clown. Same with those gigantic hair-bows. I love small headbands and small tasteful bows, but it cannot be bigger than like 1/8 of my child's head.
Oh and this one will be REALLY unpopular. I despise Oreo cookies. I even get grossed out if someone else is eating them. Weird I know...

Lol!!! My friend has a saying about kids clothes that I love so I stole it! "The more circus the better!" I LOVE crazy kid's clothes, heck I love crazy clothes for me! I just think it's fun

I think maternity photo shoots are REALLY tacky, and ones that involve nudity...I can't. Ok, get your husband to take a few bump pics and run them through a photo filter so you can have them for posterity. But to have a professional photographer take them and then like, hang them on your wall poster size? Um, no. I'll take a cute photo shoot for my baby afterward, though.
However...I could not say no to a trip to Belize, even if it meant having to take my clothes off and get in front of a camera :P
Watched the video because I was curious and my dog freaked out. He probably thought I had a squeaky toy I wasn't sharing with him. They seem obnoxious anyway, but I'm glad I know not to have them in our house!
I could just see my dog trying to take the shoes off of the kid....
This!! I watched the video and my dogs reacted the same exact way! Definitely would never purchase these due to the sound....and the fact my dogs would be confused and tortured.
Omg haha, just watched the video and my dog reacted the same way! Now that shes realised I dont have a toy, shes ran off and gotten her own squeeky toy. Yeah, those would not last long in this house.
ok this is really an UO...but here it goes: people who let their kids grab strangers (and said strangers' designer bags/iphones/ipads/dog). I get it, your kids are the most beautiful creatures in the world (to you!) but please refrain from having them touch me and my stuff. But then I am a person who highly values my personal space.
@JaqiDec04 it's like flower crowns...on a 4 year old...how sweet! On a grown woman at a music festival...STAHP!!! I DO like jelly sandals though hahahaha don't judge me!
Oh for sure! And those giant floral headbands. Goofy on babies and adults.
I'm totally judging your jelly saddle love. Lol
I love the giant floral headbands, my baby girl will rock um. especially if she comes out bald like my son did. It's only a small amount of time I get to dress her before her attitude and personality kicks in.

I loved my photoshoot. She made me feel beautiful and it was simple, this one outfit and photos taken in our living room and my sons room. I felt huge at this point (exactly 1 month before having my son) so it was nice having a reason to dress up and feel a little better about how big I was getting.
I like the maternity photos too but it depends on how they are done. Pretty background in a field, with flowers etc. showing off your silhouette is nice but ones where your belly is exposed and you have you husband hugging belly from behind or doing that heart symbol with your hands not for me. There was a girl on the August boards I think that had some done and some were really pretty but one was really naked lol. And of course she had an amazing body. Maybe if I looked like her while pregnant my opinion would be different HAHAHAHA
@MamaOwl15 I saw that article too. Those carts are awesome for the kids and terrible for the parent. I slam into so many shelves with that beast. Plus the actually "cart" is like half the size of a normal one so I can't use it anyway for the bi-monthly big shopping trips. Personally, I'm happy when they are all being used.
They are a beast to maneuver. I generally try to do my big shopping trip when my husband is around so I can leave DS with him, but when that's not an option, it still beats a tantrum.

@Nukke, I thought the same thing about amber jewelry until my son's canines started coming in and I spring for a teething necklace for him. Might have been placebo effect, but it seemed to help. Then I was given an amber necklace and I swear it helped my knee pain. That being said, I'm highly skeptical of people thinking gemstones and amber are the solution to all medical problems.
@saraking437, I also hate Oreos. They give me migraines, but also the taste isn't that appealing.
@DeeGreer, jelly sandals are cute, but oh the foot sweat!
And also, I agree with all PPs who dislike GIANT bows. I like tastefully small bows and I'm making some headbands for DD. But bows/flowers the size of my fist? Ridiculous!
From what I've seen in pictures @CaitLewis15 ,you probably pull off the romper look. I however would look like godzilla in one. Lol.
Who said amber teething necklaces? I agree. And an necklace on a baby is so sketchy looking. I do have the nursing beads for myself. All my kids are pickers so it helps.
Ha every one is going to hate my UO ...but here it goes it groses me out and scares me to know that there are so many ppl with pets that are letting their pets get close to the l.o....or even worst all the hairs yuckkkk....don't get me wrong I loveeeee dogs but just not around little kids !
@BrooklynBroussard I totally agree! My dog will be close to my baby, but we bathe her at least once a week, more if she decides to go roll in the mud and get all gross.. She loves to play in the grass so the weekly bath is just needed, I cant imagine letting her get all disgusting, let alone letting her near baby like that. Nope, my puppy is a clean puppy. Also a well groomed puppy for that matter, so there really isnt that much hair, she loves to be brushed!
No just general all dogs cats birds don't get me started with reptiles uuugghhh...and its not that I hate animals I've had dogs but its just idk once I had my son it was one of those things that grossed me out....like they lick themselves that's one of the things....ughh or when people literally let their dogs lick them in the mouth...omg I can seriously barf!
@gabrielafrnqyepez my dog and son have a ... Really strange relationship. I just got my son out of sharing his food with the dog, finally !!! The dog also jumps in the tub with him half the time, then I'm hauling her out ! It's a funny relationship.
@gabrielafrnqyepez they love each other ! Plus she's had all her shots, she's never had fleas or worms, she's been treated ! She gets her teeth brushed, she gets bathed and her nails get cut and painted and also she has clothes, cause I'm the crazy chihuahua lady hahaha !

Fun fact: A dogs mouth is actually cleaner than a humans mouth, so getting licked really isnt that bad. Id never let the dog lick me in my mouth though, yuck!

Guaranteed that was a placebo effect. Look, really there are only two scenarios here. Either it works, or it doesn't. If it works, the claim is that baltic amber has some ability to leach unknown amounts of succinic acid into our baby's skin when it is 'warmed' to the touch. I'm so SO not cool with any untested, unregulated analgesic absorbing into my little ones skin in such high concentrations that they're able to feel pain relief. At least acetaminophen and ibuprofen have been carefully tested and regulated, and need to be taken orally.
But luckily it's all complete BS. There's no proof that succinic acid is a pain reliever. There's no proof it's in higher concentrations in 'baltic' amber than regular amber. There's no proof it's able to be 'released' from amber at such low temperatures as those produced by a warm human body.
So the simplest and most logical answer is that it doesn't work, and any claims people have that it does can easily be attributed to the placebo effect or coincidence. Teething comes and goes inside an hour. It comes and goes in a day. In a week. So you'll hear anecdotes from convinced parents who say, "I put the necklace on my little one on thursday, and by Saturday he was feeling better!" Or "Yeah, by Sunday he was in pain again, but that was probably because I took it off of him to give him a bath on Friday night".
And then there's the choking and strangulation hazard that these useless necklaces pose.

The picture of your son and dog is so cute! I grew up with dogs in the house, and I am so happy that my son will grow up with my two dogs!
When my brother and I were five and six, we were outside playing in the front yard and our neighbor's dog ran over and started attacking my brother. Our family Boxer heard the screams and she jumped our privacy fence and grabbed the dog and got him off my brother. It was crazy! Of course my parents heard the screams and came running outside as well, but it was amazing to see our Boxer jump such a high fence to come to the rescue. She never jumped the fence again, and our neighbor's dog never came near us again either. I love dogs.

Its a me thing seriously, I had a dog when I was younger and as much as I loved it and did everything for it had to give it away because he would try licking me I hated that or having to pick up pooop ...aahhhh yuck!!!! Or even thinking about it gets me queasy.. I understand there are incredibly clean pets but I just can't..I remember barfing one time because I had a dog hair on my hand and I was eating ... I know dogs are great with kids and I teach my son to be good to animals I just can't ..grr!
And if you still want to be my friend after those opinions, this one will probably make you hate me:
I think peanut butter has no business in baked goods, especially those involving chocolate. Unless your goal is to ruin all Christmas cookies for me.
Agree! Any necklace on a baby weirds me out. Every time I see one on a baby I'm scared it's going to choke it out.
Gliders, ugly yes, practical, we'll they have their place. I'd rather have a big cozy rocker though!
And my favourite, the peanut butter. I hate it in all forms! There is nothing worse than biting into what you have been lead to belive is a chocolate chip cookie and getting a mouthful of peanut butter. Nothing like spitting a mouthful of cookie into your hand and trying not to offend somebody. So gross.

YES! this is the story of my life when I go to my inlaws for their Christmas celebration. It took something like 7 years of being fooled IN A ROW before I realized what I hoped was gingerbread cookies was always (ALWAAAAYYYSSS) peanut butter cookies. And I hate when they make anything dipped in fudge. That chocolate shell often masks the odour of what's lurking inside! Is it amazing cookie dough? Oreo truffles? OR ANOTHER PEANUT BUTTER BOMB?! I'ver learned now to just give up entirely on the cookies until my DH can tell me for sure what is and isn't peanut butter.
@amberrmariee20 I'm officially obsessed with your littles now! That's exactly how I picture my pups and their baby to be. Doesn't gross me out at all - they are part of out family. My Grannie said once, "your dogs sure are comfortable in your home...", lol!! At least she tried to be kind in saying they're big babies!
I think rompers are really ugly. Maybe it's because I have entirely too much booty to fit them but I think they look like toddler clothes for grown women. They look terrible unless you're shaped like Taylor Swift.
At first, I thought, My DD looks adorable in rompers!
Then I realized you meant grown women. Lol.
I am also anti-romper for adults
I'm just anti-camel toe and it always seems to rear its ugly head with adult rompers.

We have two boxers and this is exactly why we chose this breed. Our female boxer is a tough b word, as my husband likes to call her, but she's the biggest baby to me. I know she would take on any other dog or human that would threaten our family though; there is a lady who walks by with a dog whose bitten a kid before and our female boxer growls if they get too close to our fence... It's the only family she does that to so I know she's sensing something and going in her protect mode.
@gabrielafrnqyepez You sound like my husband. He doesn't want our dog anywhere near the baby. At first he was like, we are going to keep them in separate rooms...Impossible. And last night, he was like, we're going to have to get a lot of hand sanitizer. When I asked why, I was expecting him to say something about changing diapers. Instead he said for the baby when she touches the dog we'll need to sanitize her hands after. Haha. He always washes his hands immediately after petting or playing with our dog. He also said in his culture (Serbian) it's a big no-no to let the baby crawl around on the floor, especially barefoot! His mom wouldn't even let me walk around the house barefoot when we visited there last summer! Oh boy! I grew up walking around everywhere, inside and outside, barefoot!
@aprosch yyesss I grew up like that too my mom would threaten my sister and I that if we didn't put sandals on shed tape them to our feet!!! I do know how clean a dog can be kept but just from the perspective that they lick their privates its enough for me, I'm not bad with dogs like I said they are super adorable I've had a poodle, a doberman and a jack Russell terrier. Amazing pets but just not for me I'd constantly be washing my hands and washing them and it just didn't work out. @MelMel92 mentioned smtn about the human mouth .......how's this for another U.O : KISSING CHILDREN ON THE LIPS !!!!! wdhf is that about !!!!! I am sorry if any of you guys do it to each its own, and I do not have a right to make any of you mad...BUT OMG! I had such a big huge fight w my sons grandma because before the baby was born she would kis her son (my sons father) on the lips... I was so disgusted!!!! Omg !!! A grown man...eww but then after I said smtn about it she stopped I guess he saw how it bothered me and she one time had told me oooo what do you think k I'm going to do with my grandson when he's born? I laughed so hard because I got so mad and said well if you wanna remain around to see your g.s them don't be stupid and do that with MY son.... Yuckkkkkkk
Aww I kiss my 7 year old on the lips but my almost twelve year old is too old for that so he gives me the check or forehead. I probably won't kiss them on the lips as adults.
Actually I think it's gross when parents eat off their kids!! Like eat their leftovers, soggy cereal, take a bite of their soggy cookie ew no thanks! I give my kids waterfalls off my drinks otherwise there are floaties in my drink lol!
Um yeah, kissing your adult child on the lips is gross. Baby kisses are cute, especially when they are learning it, but kinda gross too. And my husband never would've had a dog if I didn't have mine before we met. They are best buds but he still obsesses about the cleanliness of our dog. We agree to disagree on that. I keep my dog clean, but I don't obsessively wash my hands after touching it like he does.
