Folks who can't be bothered to not appropriate other cultures' customs, and act like it's their right to take, use, misuse and abuse, are the epitome of problematic. And the same for "PC culture is a fun sponge. People are so sensitive today."/ which is just code for "I can no longer be problematic and get away with it." and rightfully so.
Andplusalso, I don't quite understand feeling prickly about what other people do if it doesn't involve you. So what if they have a second, third, forth shower, sprinkle, party, etc., etc. If you ain't footin' the bill, attending, or otherwise involved, your feelings or thoughts simply don't matter.

Another UO...I like to tell people early bc I don't like the idea of holding back into from people in my life.
What I mean is this: I don't like waiting to see if baby is a certain gestation or not. To me, it's part of believing in your kids from the beginning. Also, it gives me the chance to be authentic with the world and share all that's going on, regardless of what happens.
That being said, I understand the pain, anguish, questions and possible terror of loss. I also completely understand when women want to keep quiet and why.

I'm with you and its absolutely your right to talk about your pregnancy whenever you want. However Big TW: With my loss in April, I told a lot of people. AS far out as a month after my loss I was still having to un-tell people. And it really sucked when they would ask how i'm feeling, or when I'm finding out, and I had to tell them I had a miscarriage. END TW

TW.... with my loss in April 2015.... i was 11 weeks.... so we had told our boys in an adorable video that was watched and shared literally over 1000 times. It was the best! Honest. And then disaster happened... Angel babys heart just stopped beating for no reason. And I took to social media asking for prayer that this not be true.... but if it was... please pray for us and our boys. And hundreds of friends began praying and reaching out to us. So though it was a very tragic event.... it was an open and honest and raw experience.... so in some way I think it helped others who had suffered in silence before.... afterall, a miscarriage isn't the moms fault.
End TW
I'm having to try try try to not be excited and tell this time.... because now that the shock has worn off.... im rather giddy
@CAdreamin13 I've heard that some people actually carry some sort of gene that causes cilantro to taste like soap. I love Chipotle but I could NOT eat it with my last pregnancy. I had no desire.
I don't see all of the hype when it comes to Chipotle. I remember posting this a few years ago and someone saying, "it's the Cilantro." Definitely don't like that, but none of it screams incredible to me. Or maybe it's that everyone's cards are being compromised there lately and that turns me away.
I'm with you hate chipotle. Then there was an ecoli breakout and our store has been pretty empty since.

That is the saddest thing I've read all day.
cilantro is disgusting. And I live in Canada where there is no Chipotle, but that's ok if they're on the cilantro train.

Oh man, I'm late to the conversation on "push presents" but I just wanted to say, ladies... after labor and delivery is the BEST time to ask your partner for something. Don't forget.
I asked if he'd let me go off for a week long trip with my girlfriends when the baby was 8 months old and leave him with her. He definitely regretted it when the time came but I EARNED that trip goddamnit.
I'm going to Vegas in July for a teacher conference...CHawk will be 5 months...DH has already consented....wonder if he will regret that decision when the time comes
