UO 6/1

Nxy · June 2017

New month, new unpopular opinions.

and_peggy · June 2017

Huge ass bows are not cute. Like if you can't see the kid's face, it's too dang big.

SouthernMama15 · June 2017

I don't like Taco Bell.

lewliv · June 2017

@SouthernMama15 I mentioned this before but I never had Taco Bell and have no desire to try.

My UO is that I'm sad that my pregnancy is getting closer to the end. I need more time! I like to have the baby inside me.

smallbutmighty77 · June 2017

Butt ruffles...adorable on baby girls, ridiculous in baby boys!

I am all for the mixing/matching of clothes, gender neutral thing. My LO already has black and dinosaurs and such ready to go in her closet. I know this might get more 'he is so cute' but there will be bows and pink and such to = it out.

I draw the line at putting boys in butt ruffle pants/floral diaper covers. I might need to share this UO with my neighbor who wondered to me why people assume her 1mo old is a girl...

and_peggy · June 2017

@smallbutmighty77 that's exactly what we are doing. With DD, I only bought clothes that a boy could also wear, so we are set.

And even when she had a bow in or wore obviously girly clothes, people still called her a "he". Like really?

SouthernMama15 · June 2017

@smallbutmighty77

she really does that? I love ruffle butts but I could never put them on a boy. We had plenty of cute sets from Carter's that the pants had an animal or baseball on the butt of the pants.

belmont1785 · June 2017

I've never heard of butt ruffles on a boy. I love bows on girls but I do not like huge ones either. Just tiny ones. My whole family has bald babies...until they are 2-3 no hair (same with hubbys side) so baby girls especially need a cute small bow. My daughter is 2.5 and just started getting hair.

PinkPrincessPiper · June 2017

I wouldn't intentionally place a baby boy in girls clothes, but that brought up my UO.

I hate when people get super upset about "gender" vs "sex", but then get offended when a child starts actually showing a gender that doesn't match their sex. What's wrong with liking Hello Kitty & Luigi?

SouthernMama15 · June 2017

I hate when people refer to themselves as kings, queens, etc. I have a vinyl cutting machine and I'm in crafting groups on Facebook and people are always making shirts that say king/queen to wear with their SO or queens are born in August. I don't get it. Same with Bonnie and Clyde stuff. Why do you want to liken yourself to criminals?

AdvoCyndi30 · June 2017

I miss the good old days where nobody knew anyone's political opinion or religious views and it was considered rude to discuss them or ask about them.

tova24 · June 2017

I hate the stick figure families that people put on their car, especially when you put the family member's name by it. Hasn't anyone watched Dexter and Criminal Minds, when the kids get abducted because of this?

littlebug2010 · June 2017

I probably wont buy my kids any personalized things, like bike license plates, or even shirts/hats ect. My Dad was a cop and was super paranoid about abduction, and always talked about how most parents teach their kids to say no to strangers, but if the stranger knows their name, the kid is far more likely to go with them.

smallbutmighty77 · June 2017

@littlebug2010 my SIL is a kindergarten teacher and they don't even teach them to say 'no' anymore b/c people think the kids are just having a tantrum or what. They are taught to say 'i don't know you' or 'you are not my mom or dad' things like that, to yell loudly and use their body as much as they can to fight back and draw attention. If they are lost to not just look for uniforms b/c they are not always around but to look for adults with kids- as opposed to adults alone. There is so much more they are teaching in terms of danger/awareness with kids. Parents are told not to have names on stuff, b/c like you said kids might think someone knows them if they know their name. Just so scary.

littlebug2010 · June 2017

@smallbutmighty77 it's all very scary. I grew up in a small town, but we still had issues like this. I can't imagine what I'll be like now that I live in a city.

tova24 · June 2017

@smallbutmighty77 I would always get scared when I saw little kids riding the L alone.

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · June 2017

@tova24 I hate those things

People driving behind you on the highway don't need to know your family status.

donehue · June 2017

I don't want this LO to wear anything with monkeys (or aliens, or dinos, or even puppies) on it and carters, which always fits my babies the best for the first year, seems to be all about the characters on their boys' clothes. I'm struggling with newborn boy style at the moment - I just want primary colors! ( I'm sure I will be eating my words after his first lovey is a monkey or something and then I buy him all the monkeys.)

szwill86 · June 2017

@lewliv you read my mind! Was just gonna post this but was checking the website name before posting. Great minds

SouthernMama15 · June 2017

Same as @lewliv and @szwill86 said. I did find some stuff at carters for DS that were solids or just stripes. DH said no animals unless they were predators.

PinkPrincessPiper · June 2017

Additional UO: These ugly yellow fingernails get on my nerves every time I open the app.

SouthernMama15 · June 2017

@PinkPrincessPiper all I can think is does she have nail fungus?

Nxy · June 2017

I didn't know this bugged people but if DD is around at all I call DH "Dad" because I called him his first name and DD started doing it too. I also tend to yell DH's first and middle name at him if he is rooms away and not responding and DD started doing that too lol.. So we are a "mom" and "dad" couple now. Is this not normal??

SpotConlon · June 2017

@Nxy I think as long as you don't go full Mike Pence and ONLY refer to your space as mom or dad, you're fine. My parents always say mom or dad if they're talking with us kids, but call each other by their real names when they're talking to each other or other adults.

HappyToBeHere · June 2017

@Nxy I think that's pretty normal! DD has called DH by his name a few times so now she knows "my daddy's name is _______" and "my mommy's name is ______". She also knows my dad (her papa)'s actual first name because she hears others call him by name so often, but thinks my mom (her nana)'s first name is "mom" because she hears me talk to my mom so much. It's so funny.

Sorry not an UO!

SouthernMama15 · June 2017

@Nxy We've never called each other by name. Always baby, babe, or doll. My parents are the same way. Now that we're parents we call each other mama and daddy. DS went through a phase around his 1st birthday of calling me Anna because we had been around my family and he heard them all call me by name. DH thought it was hilarious and encouraged it.

Nxy · June 2017

@SpotConlon & @HappyToBeHere, good! I've never heard anyone do it any other way but I've been told twice this week alone that it was weird. What else would you do??? I don't get it

smallbutmighty77 · June 2017

@Nxy my niece is big on the 'titles' and did not like when I called her mom by her name. She wanted me to say sister, and when I talk to her she likes when I use 'niece' in front of her name. No one is sure where it came from, but she does not like using each others names-just 'titles'.

donehue · June 2017

Have any of you bought from primary.com and know how they run fit wise?

brookeelyse527 · June 2017

Do you shop at target? @donehue they always have a decent selection of plain clothes.
