The lid on the toilet thing used to not bother me as much. I would joke with him and flip it down. But since I am going pee about a billion times in the night, and I'm exhausted all the time and trying to not wake up TOOO much during my many pee excursions, I'm not firing on all cylinders as I sit, so I sometimes forget to check at night. And then, bam, wet butt. My feeling is, I am baking you a kid, you can remember to flip the seat down so I don't dip my ass in your pee.
And I can't even wrap my head around not liking cheesecake. There is a place near me that makes a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake that I might need to go buy now, thanks to this thread.
UO: I don't like onesies with writing on them. I pretty much dislike all of them. "Daddy's little angel", "mommy's rockstar", "I shat in my pantaloons", etc. Just, NO.

@MLRocha my husband does not reciprocate the birthday treats either. I start asking him months before what he wants and plan it all out and then when my birthday comes I'm like , at least buy one from the store? I usually just make my own so I'm not dissappointed.
yogadevil - I'm curious, what you've seen that's tactless at wedding/baby showers?
Rampant gift grabbiness, entitled behavior, public declarations of disappointment via FB how "no one bought off the registry so thanks a lot!" People seemingly proud that they won't thank anyone, others that think their entitled to luxurious gifts, multiple showers, sourpuss attitudes that they aren't getting enough attention, GoFundMe's because 'they didn't get enough at their shower' I guess just entitlement in general. It's a huge pet peeve of mine and in time it really turns me off of maintaining relationships with certain people.

Is this a real life thing or on the bump thing? I've heard of this before, but only on the bump really not actually a real person doing this.

Yeah, I have never heard of such outrageous behavior. Someone posted on FB about things not on the registry? And GoFundMe? That's craziness.
It was never all the same person. Mostly just offhand comments here and there. Keep in mind I've also been to 20+ showers and been privy to several more "online showers" for army wives stationed across the country.

I've only heard of this in advice columns and STFU Parents. But my cousin hosted her own shower for a 2nd baby, didn't invite anyone-- just posted it on facebook as a status and then went OFF on a bunch of us that had missed the memo.
I cannot understand the draw of having everyone put posts in their respective categories so as not to "clutter the board".
Are people actually opening up the symptoms thread to see if somebody posted a new symptom? I personally only read new titles. I don't search old ones. Am I doing the bump wrong? I don't get it.

I guess this is an UO considering today's posts but I love all desserts. Cake, cookies, pies, brownies, cheesecake, donuts, ice cream...you name it. Give me alllll the desserts.
Fun fact, I was at one point enrolled in baking school.
Me too, for both!
And yes, you're doing it wrong if you're making a new post for every.single.thing when there are designated posts for them. If you don't like it, there's a big red X in the top right hand corner of the page.
It's like a kitchen. Do you have things just strewn wherever, or do you have things organized? Cups in one cabinet, silverware in another. The board is like that, it's just a fucking mess and you can't find anything.

Yes I open the current weeks symptoms thread if I have a new symptom I'm curious about. Also there is a search function so you can search for keywords. With too many random symptom posts the important posts get knocked off to the 2nd pg which will cause more random threads. I like the organization and really appreciate the people who try to keep it that way!

That seems selfish to me. Do you just post and run, never to return to see if anyone could use some support?
It was never all the same person. Mostly just offhand comments here and there. Keep in mind I've also been to 20+ showers and been privy to several more "online showers" for army wives stationed across the country.
Wait, hang on, what the F is an "online shower"?????

Setting up a registry and sending it to a group of people who can't all convene, telling them to send gifts by such and such date. Sometimes opening them on video or Skype, sometimes just posting the link to their own registry saying something like "Since we just PCS'd (moved) and I'm away from all my friends and family, here is my registry so you can all celebrate this baby!"
@2014poppy I personally love the organization. if you want to see what has been posted previously, use the search bar. after spending time on a couple other bump boards and seeing 1,000 random threads with like 3 replies pisses me off. I like the organization. I like that we are a community and I'm getting to know a lot of people here.
I second @cjs260. making it all about your symptoms is selfish

I don't know what this is & didn't think about it until you said something, but now I'm curious. It sounds like nothing I want to be a part of though.
Maybe an UO: I hate any type of shower. It doesn't matter if it's baby or wedding, I just hate it. I don't like going to them & always feel out of place (probably just me). I hate to have one thrown for me either. It's not that I don't appreciate it, but I hate being the center of attention. I'm glad (sincerely hoping) that I probably am not having one with this baby as it's my second.

My UO: I enjoyed throwing a shower for my SIL way more than I enjoyed attending my own.
I loathe being the center of attention in large groups, and I got to be mostly in the background while throwing her shower, instead of awkwardly sitting in the middle of mine.

I guesssssss I wouldn't be mad at a military family who did this, but it comes off really tacky to me...

I'm with you. I never thought I'd be the pearl clutching type, but the bolded made me reach for 'em... I guess if it was worded in a particular way I could see it.
Edit: Ugh, the formatting turned out totally borked. Sorry, I had a bump-fail
@NiceyMeany that's what drives me nutso about the mil wives community though.. it's perfectly acceptable to be tacky for some reason. I still side eye it.

And yes, you're doing it wrong if you're making a new post for every.single.thing when there are designated posts for them. If you don't like it, there's a big red X in the top right hand corner of the page.

I think this was unnecessarily harsh.

I mean, the title has a yellow highlighted number with how many new posts it has. So it's not like you have to go and see if there are any new symptoms. It literally says in yellow "5 new posts" or whatever since you last read. Pretty simply organized to me...
I like the organization but I feel like the people who start new threads aren't going to care when they are reminded of the existing threads. By all means, keep fighting the good fight but someone who just pops in to use the board as a their personal Google to ask about OhmygoshZika aren't going to care enough to put their post in the right place next time.

Ok I hear where people are coming from. My opinion's unpopular! Im not going on a crusade to change how things are done.
Personally i just don't mind a bunch of new posts and I click on the title if it's interesting to me. I don't open the app knowing what I'm looking for, I just look at new posts. Doing it wrong.

I mean, I don't think the majority come looking for something in particular. But, if you were, it's so much easier to look in a thread of a certain topic than have to sift through pages and pages of individual threads. Nobody is saying that none are allowed, but ya know, if it's to complain about your crotch aching, post in a symptom thread. Need home improvement opinions, create a new one
