Mine stems from the nursery thread, I understand neutrals and using Grey but I don't understand why people want such white colorless nurseries. I can't imagine having everything be white... I need color of some sort, even if it's yellows or greens.
Someone on my fb friends did all black and white pics and grey and white bedding in their nursery the whole thing looks like she posted a black and white picture!
I can't stand talk about essential oils. I have a coworker who sells the stuff and lathers it on and uses the diffuser at work etc etc etc. Gagging. No I don't want to go to your parties no I don't want to buy your stuff no I don't think it cures every malady on earth. I think it is the new fad and I want it to go away.
@wisco , I personally don't care what colours people decorate with unless they're shoving their colour schemes down my throat or forcing me to look at endless pictures of a nursery they decorated.
My pet peeves are people who constantly imply they spend enormous amounts on everything on anonymous forums. It just seems strange advertising your wealth when people don't know who you are or care about your wallet.
People who don't train their dogs make me so angry! Also, just because your dog is small doesn't mean you get a no-train pass. Untrained small dogs are just as annoying as untrained large dogs!

Surprisingly more vicious too. I'm not a fan of tiny dogs because they're so much harder to train.
@MamaFroFro , agreed 100 percent. I could punch my new neighbours. Their daschunds bark 24 hrs a day. They try to attack people while on leash. They remind me of these little piranhas that terrorize the other neighbourhood dogs.

Yes! My husband and I complain about this all the time. Small dogs are awful because people think they're tiny and don't need to be trained!

My dogs will sniff you to death! Don't get too close or they'll sneeze on you!
ETA: I'll also admit, my dogs are total assholes. There is no training them, seriously. The breed was for royal families and were taught to sit on a damn pillow all day every day so now they are all like that. No joke. Biggest asshats ever.

I like the gray look, but babies need color! I plan on doing a light gray wall, and maybe white furniture, but color everything else
I hate hate hate...having guests at my house. Especially for more than 3 days!!! Leave me alone, I need my space! And that's why I don't have a guest room, to discourage them from coming over and nesting here.

Babies see contrasting colors best so maybe that is why they do the black and white. I'm not sure but I think even if that is the case a baby would get bored with it quickly as his/her eyes develop.

I have small dogs 25 lbs and 10 lbs, and we trained them from puppies exactly how I trained my old German Shepherd. Small dog syndrome comes from people treating small dogs like babies not dogs. They don't know where they stand in the pack so they assume they're alpha and always try to correct everyone's behavior, other dogs and humans. I can't STAND IT. Ours don't bark or jump, play fetch, heal off leash and are the happiest friendliest pups on earth. No dog is born viscious, its lack of training and socialization and there is no excuse for it.
Eta: agree they can be harder to train, depending on breed. My 10 lb dachshund is a sweetie but stubborn as hell!
This is prolly more of a popluar opinion at this point, but I am SO sick of the f'n Kardashians. They are such vapid, money hungry attention whores. Can they just go away now please?! Every single one of them. So sad how much attention the media gives these idiots instead of more pressing global issues. Ok I'm done. Drops mic;)

did you see the video of the news anchor who walked off set when the "story" of the Kardashians came up? Classic!
I don't mind using the tv to help watch my toddler when I'm doing stuff around the house. I know everyone is all up in arms about not letting the tv babysit their kids but seriously I don't care. I do take the time to pre-watch whatever movie or tv show I turn on for him and there are definitely a bunch of kids shows I veto because they are just ridiculous but when it's something like Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood I'm like heck yeah watch 2 episodes of that so I can do the dishes!
I hate hate hate...having guests at my house. Especially for more than 3 days!!! Leave me alone, I need my space! And that's why I don't have a guest room, to discourage them from coming over and nesting here.
I could not agree more with this! Our 2nd bedroom is turning into the baby's room and I am so glad that we (mostly my husband), can't offer it up for people to stay in anymore!
Yes! This goes along with the whole "rustic" trend that's going around and I hate that too. It's just ugly.
Noooo! I love this trend. Probably because I grew up, and still live in the country in the middle of no where and my grandparents lived in an old farmhouse and I just loved everything about there house. It wasn't decorated rustic by any means but that's just what was in their house because it was old and that's how it was.
I hate hate HATE the sauce Dunkin' Donuts puts on their turkey, cheddar & bacon bakery sandwiches!!! For a brief, glimmering moment they had the turkey, cheddar & bacon flatbreads with no such sauce and they were the light of my life. The sauce ruins it for me. I don't know what it is, but it's gross. I'm just assuming this must be a UO because if it wasn't then they wouldn't keep putting that dang sauce on and ruining their sandwiches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know a lot of people like getting checked in with regularly or get annoyed if people don't pay their pregnancy enough attention, but this is my 3rd and I am avoiding telling many people still at 16wks because I don't want to hear "How are you feeeeeeeling?!" every ten minutes. Fat, OK, I'm feeling fat. Go away now. I'm also hormonal, was that apparent?

I like gray too and if we have a boy we're going to do gray and white accents but have a pretty aqua color as the primary color.

Oh my goodness - I am SO regretting telling my co-workers I am pregnant. Every.single.day "how are you feeling?" Seriously, you don't need to ask me daily. They've known since about week 6 and my god, I am just so not looking forward to when I am hugely pregnant - I am sure I will hear "when's that baby due?" "any day now, huh?" and "are you sure there's just one in there?" I know people are asking because they care but it just gets on my nerves so much!
My UO I really don't get why people get so into the Chinese gender predictors and put so much stock into them. It is literally 50/50. If it's right it doesn't mean that it works. It means it was a lucky guess. And not even that lucky considering there are only two options.
I've already had a co-worker tell me that she can tell I've been eating a lot because I have a pooch.
And I didn't even get to tell everyone. Someone heard me tell my boss and shouted loudly for everyone to hear "Congrats lil mama!", and that's how everyone found out.
Just leave me alone people! Unless you're giving me food.
And then it's best if you just throw from a safe distance or wait until I'm not at my desk.

I've taken up all of our bedrooms so that they are not guest rooms. My father in law still comes over and stays for more than a week! Drives me insane!!
My UO about little dogs is that I think unless your dog is a service dog, stop carrying them around with you in your purse or under your arm. Seriously, around here people are bringing their ugly little chihuahuas into the grocery store and it irritates the crap out of me.
And also that tiny little hairless dogs like chihuahuas are just gross. They're like rats with collars on. I wouldn't ever want to touch one. haha
People getting outraged about Target's recent announcement to remove boy/girl signs from their toy and bedding sections is absolutely ridiculous. Toys don't need to be assigned to one or the other gender; kids should play with whatever they want. Everyone will still be able to find what they need and no one is trying to "turn your kids gay." If your girl wants to play with dolls, they still can. If your boy only wants to play with trucks, HE STILL CAN! It's not about trying too hard to be PC or pander to the crazy liberals, it's about being inclusive and not sending the message that only girls can play with babies and kitchen sets and only boys can play with legos and science kits.
When people don't see the issue with having a sign that says "Building Sets" and then underneath it "Girls' Building Sets," I seriously judge their critical thinking skills.
How about people in your FB newsfeed who are constantly posting their support for Donald Trump - I can't even take you seriously and am definitely considering "un-friending" you. The one I was most surprised by is my boss for my very, very PT job - we got along great and now I can't even look at you the same!
I think I'm just going to "unfollow" all of these people possibly and I seriously hope my new boss does not even approach this topic when I go into work this weekend, ugh.

I feel the same way about Obama supporters!
Uhh what? Obama and Trump are nothing alike. Even if you don't agree with Obama's politics, at least he isn't a horrible human being who continuously makes racist, misogynistic, absurdly offensive statements just to troll everyone in America. When people in my news feed like Trump I wonder if they've fallen down and hit their head on something.

Grey with accents is fine, you're adding a COLOR so it makes it okay. First pic is super boring to me and I picture a toddler in there...and toddlers are not clean creatures. So unless you make your nursery this and then as soon as they turn 10 months (about when they eat puffs etc) you plan to change everything.....
I'm not a Trump supporter either but I feel the same dislike you feel for Trump, for Obama. He's the worst negotiator our presidency has ever seen and for many reasons I despise him. He's made our country look like a joke to other countries much more so than Trump. Trump's just running as a candidate who will likely be weeded out soon anyway but Obama is the president and has done WAY more damage.

I found this article and will try to keep in mind some of these more stimulating ideas when decorating the nursery. https://www.fisher-price.com/en_US/playtime/parenting/articlesandadvice/articledetail.html?article=tcm:169-17040-16
So interesting how our brains/eyes develop and change what we see!
