    Unknown creature and/or possibly person. There were fragments of a very small egg on our front porch this am, and by the time we found it as DH was leaving for work, there was a swarm of ants on it.

    MIL. She decided to research our registry picks and tell DH what crap we picked out. Not sure who gave her the authority or asked for her opinion. Super pisses me off because I spent a LOT of time researching the best options for us. I am livid. She thinks they are her babies.

    Two years, two losses and three IUIs...

    We are having TRIPLETS!

    Weather, I love summer but not humidity! Our upstairs hallway is like walking through a sauna and we are currently only using the upstairs bathroom!

    I agree with the weather, but only because we are currently surrounded by fires, so the air quality is terrible right now. Dry weather and lightening are TWs. Also the people on the baby names board. I asked for your opinions, not your judgments.

    Agree about the weather. It's 95* and 10000% humidity. Our A/C runs all the time and our electric bill is atrocious!

    @ntyravgsp - I know! I feel like I shouldn't complain, because our "winters" are very nice (FL, it's very mild)....if it gets in the 20s for the low it's unusual, and everyone is freaking out while I'm running around like a happy polar bear. But the other 8 months, the weather sucks. I live in the wrong state lol.

    My MIL is a TW.

    We found out the sex of our baby yesterday morning. The whole thing took over an hour. We then went to lunch, and I called my mom. DH's cell phone isn't working, and he had to go back to work. So 5 rolls around and my MIL is almost attacking me on FB to tell her. I didn't want to and refused to, as I feel it's DH's place to tell HIS mom.. We went shopping and to dinner real quick. I was able to get the ultrasound photos that I accidentally left in the truck and we came home. It was about 9pm by the time we got home. I was enjoying my bliss all day of only us and my mom knowing. (My mom wouldn't say anything to anyone). So I was dragging my feet on tell social media, because I didn't want to hear the comments...So I'm finally fed up and hand DH my cell phone to call and tell her. He tells her and she ends up saying I was being crabby about telling her. DH immediately tells her to knock it off, he didn't have a working cell phone or he would have called her.

    Like seriously Lady?! I don't HAVE to tell you anything. Plus it's DH's place to tell you.!!!

    So we post on FB for our families. We are expecting baby boy #2 in January. I'm so excited and so happy. His 3D photos show a tiny, adorable boy.
    I didn't want to hear "another boy", or "why did you change his name".

    So we announce, " we are so excited and happy to share with you, our son. Everyone meet Levi "

    MIL is calling him "grandson", not by his name, Levi..
    She wanted us to name him Samuel, an we were going to. But there's 3 Samuels in DH's family, so we changed it. Now she won't say his name.

    Not to salt an open wound, but aren't an opinion and judgment the same thing? Eta I read your post and the responses, and I didn't see anything offensive there. :-/ @RunnerMeg the worst part is there's no happy medium. It's either a sauna or an icebox. :(
    Yeah, that's what you get when you post on there.  People post their opinions AKA judgments about the names you posted.  If you aren't comfortable with that, I wouldn't post there.

    Maybe they should scrub their balls in the shower? Not really sure why they would reek right after a shower. 


    Oh he does since he takes like 45 minute showers. But idk maybe they just always have that stink. Who knows. But that's the reason he gave me for why his stinks. Mine never smells like that.

    I must be super lucky... DH doesn't stink. His balls/whole sack area never smells. He doesn't ever really get BO either, I mean sometimes when he comes home from work (welding in 100 degree weather will make a man sweat) but he doesn't stink! Every now and again after work if I hug him super close I can smell the tiniest hint of it. All of his stink must go to his feet. That's the smelliest part of him.

    I was hoping for "That sounds awful" or "hey, good choice", not "that's too popular, you can do better". Telling me I can do better is a judgment.  I realize I was asking for opinions and apparently people are unaware of how opinions and judgments are different, but it still irritated me.

    Perhaps throw the towels in the laundry and they wouldn't smell... :-??

    I listen to a radio show and the PD's nickname is Ballrag. They have a theme song for when he comes in studio. It's been playing in my head every since reading this post.

    Meh, sorry it irritated you but you didn't really specify what kind of feedback you were looking for. If you told them, "spelling and trendiness don't matter to me, I just want to know if you like the way this name sounds," you might have gotten more of what you were looking for?
    Gotta be careful when you ask for open-ended opinions. All opinions are judgment of some kind. Fwiw I did like the name you asked about though. :)

    Well the towels fall off the back of the door all the time so I guess when he hangs them back up he doesn't care where they go. I don't usually keep track of how old his towels are, nor do I feel it's my responsibility to put them in the washer or laundry. But somehow he realizes his towel is old and dingy but he still leaves it there. I don't understand. Instead of putting it in the laundry he just used mine and hung it right back up on top of his. I usually hang mine on top of each other, not on his hook. Believe me.. I have lots of questions for Dh. Why can't you recognize that your towel is old before your shower? Why do you use towels for so long??? Why do you think it's acceptable to just use my towel instead of getting your own? I'm not about to sniff his towel to see if it needs to be washed. That's wrong

    ETa: I also assumed since he would have just come out of the shower, his towel shouldn't stink since he washes himself. But he does use the same towel for like 3 weeks so honestly, who knows. That could be the reason that his towels are gross. I just keep getting mad thinking about it.

    I think that I would HAVE to wash that towel. Regardless of whether I thought it was my "responsibility" or not. It's a nice thing to do for the guy that I love and it also makes it less likely I end up encountering a stinky towel. Letting a wet towel rot in my bathroom is not something that I would let fly in my house. If he didn't notice or didn't care - I would just take care of it because being in a relationship means working as a team to make things happy/healthy for both of us.

    I do plenty of nice things for Dh, but I don't necessarily notice when his towel is stank. Unless of course I accidentally use it to dry my hands or face. I wasn't aware not noticing his towel is gross and washing it for him means we don't work as a team.

    Anyways... All this nonsense over a towel. Dang. I mean it irritates me, but I wasn't expecting it to bother other people as much. It's kind of light hearted but kind of really annoying, but honestly... It's just a towel. There's always clean ones in the house. And for what it's worth, both towels are in the laundry basket waiting to be washed :)

    Like I said, I don't notice how long his towels are in the bathroom. Maybe I should keep a calendar and mark down the days he brings a new one in so I know when to replace it?

    Or just assume that after you've seen the same towel hanging there for three days it's good to wash?

    I'm not offended I'm just a little grossed out. The whole post was kind of gross. It seems like the simple solution is to wash the towels.
    Also, I never implied that you don't do nice things for your husband....

    Okay we can just agree to disagree. I don't pay attention to what towel has been in the bathroom how many days, unless it's mine. You do apparently notice. Dh takes a shower every day because he works out regularly, where as I take one every other day, unless otherwise needed. So I'm not always in the bathroom noticing how many days it's been. He's the one that notices, he could also very easily replace it/ wash it.

    Am I the only one who kind of loves balls? Ha!

    I haven't noticed ball sack stink on my towels though, so that may be part of it. Dh is "good" about throwing his towels on the floor if they are dirty (not quite the laundry basket, but at least I know to wash them then.)

    I think balls are so funny. Just a wrinkly sack. Unless you mean attracted to balls. I can't get over the funny appearance enough to love them like that lol. I always wonder how on earth a guy functions with them. I just feel like they would always get in the way

    Babybluu was only commenting on a jokey thread, she just told a funny story as part of that, it was harmless. I don't think anyone on here can stand up and say that their house is immaculately clean. Many of us work and don't have time (or energy!) to do laundry every day, let alone cook and clean on top of that. Our SO/DH are grown men and will need to learn how to help out with house chores when baby arrives and to share that responsibility equally. If my DH could pick his clothes off the floor it would be a start. But I certainly don't have the time to create an Excel spreadsheet for when I must be cleaning the toilet or washing my curtains.
    I didn't think anything about her post was funny. I thought it was gross that she experienced it. I thought it was gross that he said his towel stinks because of the fact that "he dries his ball sack" and I think it's gross to not take steps to avoid contact with a nasty towel after cleaning yourself. It's absolutely crude in my opinion that he would even say something like that to his wife.

    I'm not up on any kind of high horse. I'm not implying that she needs to cook/clean/launder and have a martini waiting by the door when he arrives home. I'm just saying it's nasty and EASILY avoidable.

    I'm not telling her to keep track of his towel because she's ultimately the one who is going to be playing towel roulette.

    I personally would not let a towel sit around for too long and if I saw that my SO was forgetful when switching towels - I would help him out. Luckily, I don't have to keep track of my SO's towels because he doesn't enjoy drying his clean body with a nasty one.

    @KaraEpp16 eh he thought he was being honest telling me that, I thought it opened up a new horrifying discovery. He told me this maybe a week to a week and a half ago because he put his towel on the "hand towel" rack so I thought it was a clean towel. Now I make sure there is one and only one towel that gets used to dry hands, and it's too small for his body lol. My friend said her husbands towels always are gross because he hangs them in a way they don't dry properly so maybe that's why? In which case my husband needs to get a new towel every day then. Just the hassle of washing them is tedious. I do a vinegar wash first with hot water, then wash them again with detergent, and have to dry them asap after they come out of the washer or else they smell mildewy

    @babybluu I would just get some new towels. For real. You are a saint for going through that much trouble to get the stink out.

    I've noticed that some towels start to stink faster no matter how you wash them and no matter how many times. I just toss them - there is no saving them.

    @KaraEpp16 I might do that. I just feel bad cuz these are like $15 towels. I also stopped using fabric softener because I was told that will prevent them from getting clean all the way. I'm about to just get all white towels and bleach them. My best friends mom does that and her towels always smell so heavenly. It makes me jealous.
