Let's hear'em ladies!!

I cannot stand the word bully being thrown around for every little thing. If someone disagrees with you they are not a bully!

steph_pegasus · July 2015

Lol @Snoopylovesbelle I don't think that's an "unpopular" opinion 'round these parts but I do agree.
The most ironic thing is usually the people calling others bullies are also calling them other names too. 8-}

Snoopylovesbelle · July 2015

@StephPegasus yes you are probably right about it being a popular opinion around here!

mrsgetz4000 · July 2015

People need to toughen up a little and not care so much about what others think or say, and teach their children the same. Maybe this person isn't a bully and your just a hyper sensitive cry baby

nickicb7 · July 2015

@StephPegasus and @Snoopylovesbelle at school we have to teach the kids not to over use the word "bully" because unfortunately the vast majority of people use the word incorrectly and set a poor example for children and others around them. Bullying means to hurt someone repeatedly by using an imbalance in power. It is not just calling people names or an occasional u liked comment. Bullying is a major charge and is not supposed to be thrown around.

ashhsa · July 2015

I hate when people write really long comments. It could be the most insightful thing ever, but I'll probably just read the first few lines. I know, I'm lazy.

When I was teaching we had the same issue!

Haha love it!!

I'm from the South, and I already attacked big bows...this week, I'm going for the jugular. Monogrammed outfits/bathing suits. Now, having special baby blankets, bags, jewelry, and deco for their room monogrammed is ok with me. These are keepsakes. But why must mommies put their children's initials or names on so many pieces of clothing? Kids outgrow bathing suits, t-shirts, and jumpsuits. Putting their monogram on it means you can never donate it or hand it down to a sibling(who wants to wear something with someone else's name/initials?). If people give me monogrammed things for baby, I will say thank-you and baby will wear it. But I will never have an outfit monogrammed myself.

paigeyferd · July 2015

Haha the placement of my long rant is priceless. TL;DR monogrammed clothing sucks

Glamgirl25 · July 2015

I'm a STM who is 13ish weeks and I can 100% for sure feel my baby move. My OB was shocked and felt the baby move this week at my appointment. So when I read all the it is impossible comments I just want to say hush you know it alls but instead I just roll my eyes and keep it moving.

steph_pegasus · July 2015

@paigeyferd I also find them useless. I'm a huge Harry Potter nerd, and your post made me think of this:

steph_pegasus · July 2015

Okay guys, I actually have an opinion to share now. 8-}

I find it very disappointing (not to mention offensive) that some of the books I read to my 2 yo daughter use judgmental descriptions to describe physical attributes of the characters in them. Can we seriously think of no better adjectives to teach our children than "pretty" and "ugly"??

MelissaA225 · July 2015

On monograms: my mom gave my sister and me names with the same initials for the sole purpose of hand-me-down monograms :-) Welcome to the south! But I do agree that monogramming everything is overkill, especially when you can't donate it.

Your mom was dedicated to the cause!

Snoopylovesbelle · July 2015

I've never had anything monogrammed- I kinda want something now. If it was for a special occasion I wouldn't mind something monogrammed for the new LO

mamaksweez · July 2015

I've never had anything monogrammed either! Is it because I live in the north?
I wouldn't want to dress my kid in monogrammed things anyway - stranger danger! Look at my adorable daughter, her name is (or initials are) foot in the door to steal her away...

Cricket99 · July 2015

My UO is that I despise mayonnaise. I think it is a blight on the world of condiments. I don't even keep it in my house. If DH wants it, he has to go out and buy it or ask for it specifically.

*gasp!!!* How dare you! Mayo is wonderful! It's Miracle Whip that's the blight!

jessielynn1 · July 2015

Mine is I don't think everything in moderation applies to pregnancy. There's just something's you shouldn't have.

nanamp · July 2015

@Cricket99 - Agree about mayo!

While on the topic of food. Corn is not a food. Can't find a single animal that digests it properly. And it definitely shouldn't be used as a meat replacement in veggie burgers. And this country's system of buying the unbought corn from farmers and burning it is terrible and wasteful. Why not instead give them money to encourage them to look into developing other forms of produce? Then maybe we can sweeten our soda with sugar instead of corn syrup. Grrr...

How is knowing your daughters initials a foot in the door to steal her away?

vvitchhazel · July 2015

HEY HEY HEY GUYS... No UO just yet, but did you notice that yesterday's special snowflake got banned?

vvitchhazel · July 2015

I'm with @StephPegasus ... I think Miracle Whip is downright demonic!

Paige6410 · July 2015

I don't care how corny Grey's Anatomy gets, it's still one of my favorite shows ever and I'll never stop watching it in all of its predicable, dramatic glory.

Monogrammed stuff seems snobby to me, IDK why, but it does.

Sushi is incredibly disgusting. I don't understand the hype and I think most people that say they like it are trying to be trendy.

vvitchhazel · July 2015

@Paige6410 You are my soul sister. My passion for Grey's runs deep! And I hate sushi too!

Eeeeeeew Miracle Whip, that's all my mom bought when we were young. I refuse to buy anything but real Helmans!

Oh god same here. Can't stand the stuff now!

Paige6410 · July 2015

I'm re watching the series from the beginning, for the 3rd time. DH thinks I'm insane.

steph_pegasus · July 2015

@vvitchhazel hahaha did you see what her avatar got changed to? It says "user banned please carry on"! Someone at TB has funnies!
*snicker*

Love Grey's too!! I was traumatized by last season and was going to stop watching but I couldn't resist!

Same here. No mayo in the house. I also hate guacamole.

I wondered why she didn't come back to the thread!

vvitchhazel · July 2015

Yes, I did see her avatar and it made it that much better! I know she got dinged twice for calling me names (proud moment), but I wonder what her other offense was! I bet it was a real gem.

Give it 3 days. I have a feeling we'll have a troll situation with a new sn.

mamaksweez · July 2015

@Snoopylovesbelle it probably isn't, but I can just see a Law and Order episode:
Creepy guy: hey little girl, your mom is at security, she told me I should take you to her.
Girl: but I don't know you.
Creepy guy: she told me to tell you it's ok because no one knows your middle name, but I know your initials are...

Ha - ok it sounds really silly now that I write it... Maybe I need to watch less Law and Order...

nanamp · July 2015

@vvitchhazel - I'm trying to figure out which rule she broke?
