    UO #1: can't stand scrambled eggs. Love poached or the occasional omelette but there's something nasty to me about scrambled eggs. Especially at a brunch or something where you self serve. Blech.

    UO #2: it annoys the crap out me how many theme school days there are now and how much crap parents have to do FOR their kids. Like seriously, a 100th day of school day, western day, pajama day, team spirit day, etc. And you have to send kids to school with already decorated Valentine's card boxes...what if some kid's parents suck ass and he/she gets a crummy box? Whatever happened to sending kids to school with a brown bag that THEY decorate AT school THEMSELVES? Along the same lines...parents near me are all up in arms about only being allowed to attend one school party with their kids. Um, aren't school parties FOR the kids and not the parents? Too much darn interjection. I remember the only time my parents came to my school was for parent/teacher night or for special events etc. I don't think parents need to be in the classroom 24/7 and do all the work for their children.

  • @Texafornian I can't stand scrambled eggs either. Even when not pregnant. Yuck. My last pregnancy I couldn't even think about or look at any kind of egg without gagging. Poor DH, we didn't eat eggs for like seven months lol
  •  @daniellelynette DH fried an egg for himself this morning, and I almost lost my wheaties. I normally love eggs, and have a boiled egg with breakfast most mornings, but they were my first food aversion after my BFP. DH jokes that it's a sympathy thing- my egg is fertilized and growing, and I just feel bad for all the mama hens. :grin:

    lol I actually laughed out loud at "lost my wheaties" haha  :D I don't know what it was but even the sight of an egg made me barfy. We went to Perkins once during the second tri and there was an egg on the front of the menu and I wanted to leave right away lol!
  • @Texafornian  As a teacher, I don't like the "decorate a box at home" thing either. I can tell you that at least two of my first graders wouldn't have brought one on because no one even checks their folders. We do things like that at school. And, your friends would hate my school.. parents don't come to parties at all.

    My mom works in a very low income bad part of town. The things she sees sometimes just breaks her heart. She was in a kindergarten classroom with a lot of abused and neglected babies. Some never got baths or new clothes, some didn't have winter coats (pretty horrible anywhere but particularly so in Wyoming). The parents aren't involved in anything, the school has had to make so many calls to police for custody battles. It's awful. I guess the whole point of this was to say that if they were to ask parents to make things at home, only a handful of kids would even bring anything at all. I agree it should be done at school. 
  • @Texafornian I couldn't agree more with BOTH of your UO. 

    I eat poached eggs eggs each day, but scrambled make me gag for ever. 

    I work in a school. And I think that schools are getting out of hand. I don't ever remember celebrating 100th day of school. We never had all these parties like we do nowadays, where parents were invited. I work in a community where a lot of the parents work from home or are SAHP and our assemblies are usually full of parents it literally blows my mind. Same goes for our kindergarten parties. At Christmas we had at least 20 sets of parents at our party. And it was both parents that came. It was really too much.
