    The last couple showers I've been to I've left before right gifts. One was a bridal shower with at least 60 people, the other was a baby shower I'd only had 4 hrs of sleep the night before. Both times I was very happy with my decision.

    I'm so tired of all the baby shower questions every day. 
    I don't think that qualifies as an unpopular opinion.  I think that might just be the most agreed upon statement ever posted on this board!
    Oh thank goodness!!

    I finally have one. 

    I dont get get why people like zulily so much. MIL told me about it about 3 years ago and told me how great it is and that I needed to join. I signed up and never once have I bought anything. I've looked at it several times but I just don't get why people like it so much. The stuff is cute and all but I don't think it's that great of deals. 
    I have only bought one thing from that website, it was when I was pregnant with DS, I found a maternity sweater.  It took over two months to arrive.  (Coincidentally, I'm wearing it right now.)  I think I'm turned off by their no-returns policy.

    I've always suspected it's because I'm on the Canadian version of the site, but the deals are typically NOT good. There's occasionally good brands on there at mediocre discounts, but the ones with HUGE discounts are just direct from China cheapy things that would never actually sell at the "regular" price.

    That said, there is a lot of nice stuff on there. But the turnaround time is so long I mostly don't bother anymore.

    If you are staying in someone's house I don't think it's ok to fold their laundry without asking (clothes and underwear, not a towel batch) or to reorganize their closets. I think I'm going to go crazy! 

    (I didn't think this was an unpopular opinion, but apparently it is with my husbands family, as I found out this week, sigh)
    Agree, although my mom does our laundry while she's here and I do appreciate it a ton. I can see if SIL or someone else was doing it- like in your case- I'd be super weirded out by it!

    BUT IN NO WAY should you ever reorganize my stuff. I'm super Type A and super organized, so don't touch my stuff.

    My UO is that I don't want a baby shower. Not only it's unpopular because it's yet another baby shower thing, but people act oh so surprised when you don't want one because don't you want to get all the gifts? Like that's a purpose of the baby shower...

    @amberliz99 I'm sorry.  My MIL cleaned my kitchen and bathroom the first time she visited us, after she told my husband that I don't do a good enough job of taking care of the house.  

    @millermama13. I don't get it either, and I live in the states. 

    @emztron500 I agree.  I've also seen that the microcephaly is actually caused by the TDap and not Zika. 

    I don't think I have a UO today.  I'll come back and update if I think of one.

    I don't get why people feel the need to tell every last person they know that they're having a baby.  I'm excited for the baby too but my 3rd cousin twice removed who I haven't seen since I was 6 doesn't need a personal phone call or email to let them know.  I don't think that they give a damn.  Or remember who I am.

    I don't post on a lot of threads because I don't see the point of reiterating what 30 other people have already told the OP and the other OPs on the other 8 threads just like it. I get in every day, a couple of times a day, but dont comment much because it feels redundant...and I don't look past the first page very often, either. I'm a lazy Bumper...Bumpee...Bumpette? 


    Also, @kwife15 I almost died with the grand shower comment. Perfect!

    @AmberLiz299 My MIL always washes and folds when she comes...my 4 loads is 8 loads for her and I have to refold after she leaves.. laundry is literally the only housework I've ever seen her do (even in her own house) so at least my drawers are safe...

    I like zulily around Christmas because I can find really cool toys for my 6 cousins/nephews without spending a bunch..and I bought a ton of natural makeup (hoping it wont breakout my hormonal face) for a really good price the other day. I ordered from there about 2x a year

    Agree with everything that has been said, except that I want a baby shower :)

    My UO: I don't understand all the rage over red velvet, I'm really not a fan. Especially with cream cheese icing, ick!

    @PBear93  well I guess that makes sense given that we all know TDap is a scheme by Bill Gates to depopulate the third world.

    I'm so terrified that she's going to try to pull something like that, it seems like something that would be right up her alley...not on par with your gem of a MIL, she seems to be in a class of her own.

    When I first signed up (maybe 4 yrs ago?), it was more like boutique kind of kids clothes and brands that you couldn't get elsewhere/may not have heard of, with fairly good deals. It seems since it grew in popularity, it is just a way for lots of big brands to sell their stuff at regular sale prices. Sometimes I browse to see cute toys and things I hadn't heard of/thought of for gifts, but usually check Amazon and find that, at least with Zulily charging shipping, it's cheaper on Amazon. Or the reviews are terrible.

    And I am sort of over buying clothes there because you can't read reviews, so you really don't know what you are getting in terms of quality... I bought two pairs of maternity pants for $13 each and one had a hole in the crotch as soon as I put them on. Well, I emailed them frustrated, saying I didn't trust the quality and wanted to return both and they immediately refunded me for both and told me I didn't need to return the pants. Sooo... at least they seem to be responsive to customer issues, I'll say.

    The Zika virus was not developed by the Illuminati and unleashed upon the world as a population control measure.

    I didn't think this was an unpopular opinion until I scanned my Facebook feed this morning...
    That's hilarious! The only one I've seen was that it was caused by Brazil's version of the TDaP vaccine. No legitimate website backs up this claim. Conspiracy theorists crack me up and annoy me at the same time.

    I also saw that Ebola was the trial run and it wasn't effective enough since it didn't spread past Africa.  Zika is attempt 2 at population control...it cracks me up but also scares me that people could be so so so crazy.

    I'm a little bit obsessed with conspiracy theories. But when they're being posted by my own immediate family, I start getting a bit nervous.

    Completely agree. This is why I'm glad our wedding photographer/friend who doesn't take maternity photos offered to do ours. I didn't want to hire an actual maternity photographer because ALL of their portfolios had the naked belly. Just no.

    I wouldn't take a picture of my nude belly any other time... being pregnant doesn't change that.
    Yes! Even better when a pregnant mommy or her family stand on railway tracks. You just see the train wreck coming...
