What are you unpopular opinions this week?

mylovelittlelove · July 2017

My sister has been rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That show was/is so dumb. I don't get why it was such a big hit.

notthefather · July 2017

I seriously dislike LLR.

Is this an unpopular opinion? I think everything about lularoe looks like you're walking around in your jammies.

vflux33 · July 2017

@mylovelittlelove I never got Buffy either.

On my ever growing list of overrated TV shows I'm adding Master of None. I liked the 1st season, but S 2 is trying too hard to be "artistic" and when I see TV shows where 100% of the women actors are supermodels and all the men range between average to extremely unattractive I want to throw things. Especially in a show that's trying so hard to be "different".

arhodes6 · July 2017

@heatherdubrow some of the LLR stuff does look like jammies! I actually wear some stuff from my first pregnancy to bed. BUT I love some of the dresses! And the leggings are heaven postpartum.

Mine might be a little too spicy for this group... but here goes. I cannot get behind co-sleeping. I totally understand why people do it while nursing, but past that I'm baffled. I desperately need my Me time once DS goes to bed and I can't imagine having no alone time. And how do you dtd with your significant other? I know some people who co-sleep with their 9 and 7 year olds and I just don't get it. DS slept in our bed for 2 nights on vacation and I got no sleep! But I am a "you do you" type of person, so no judging here I genuinely just don't get how it works. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum and we had DS in his crib in his own room (right next to ours) at 3 weeks. That's probably a UO of its own

hullabalou · July 2017

@arhodes6 my 2 year old still cosleeps some nights and it is miserable. I'm trying desperately to get him sleeping through the night in his own bed every night, but he is not in a crib anymore so it's harder to try and get him to fall asleep on his own because I'm constantly putting him back in his bed. Cosleeping for us was born out of sheer exhaustion from an awful sleeper.

I don't plan to cosleep with this baby at all. I've heard too many suffocation horror stories and no longer believe my "it wouldn't happen to me" attitude, because every mom I've seen speak about a cosleeping death thought it wouldn't happen to her either. I'm too freaked out to do anything but crib/pack and play this time.

kburg15 · July 2017

We co-slept half the night for a few months (like 4 mos to 8 mos) mainly because I'd fall asleep nursing. But DS slept like crap, I slept like crap, so I started nursing him and then putting him back in his crib right away. We are both light sleepers, so it just wasn't a good fit. I'm. It against it, even with this next baby, but it just wasn't really for us. I only did it after his first or second night wake up (there were like 6 for a long time) though, not from the get-go. I need that evening "me" time!

chasingroygbiv · July 2017

I think the cost of LLR only to end up with holes after one wear is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. But some of the plain jane (and Christmas, because, Santa) stuff is fine.

My UO:

Watermelon is gross.

carig63 · July 2017

I hate summer. I hate heat. If the high temp goes above 78 degrees, I get cranky. Even when I'm not pregnant.

muggle621 · July 2017

I have always hated peanut butter, ketchup, mayo, and mustard.

KristinUM12 · July 2017

I can't stand chocolate and peanut butter together. And that's not because I'm pregnant...it's an all the time thing.

kiki75 · July 2017

I don't care if you're in the middle seat, you cannot cross the plane into mine. This lady & I are going to have trouble...

raeliz13 · July 2017

I can't stand pickles, ever, and absolutely hate when they come on a plate touching my other food. They ruin everything. Pickle juice soaking into a hamburger bun is the worst!

mamaloba816 · July 2017

@arhodes6, DS started sleeping in his own crib at 3.5 weeks. Everyone slept better that way.

mamaloba816 · July 2017

I can't get on board with The Bachelor. Or really any "reality" TV for that matter.

KLmyz · July 2017

@raeliz13 not the pickles

I love them anyway. Regular, spicy , beans , beets, carrots!! Give me all the pickles!! except sweet pickles bleh

(although with this heartburn pickles aren't my first choice right now) Haha

I got a lot of judgement from friends, family, old BMB because I put DS in his crib so early. But DH and I couldn't function if he was in our room. None of us slept and it was awful! It was hard on me while I nursed but I managed. DH would go get him and bring him to me then put him back down every other feeding, which seemed to work for us. I am not sure what we will do with this baby, we will have to see when the time comes. We won't be newbs anymore so we might be able to handle the Newborn grunting lol!

Staciefacie · July 2017

Opposite to baby in the crib early, I have an almost three year still in my bed and it's driving me insane but before he was one I'd freak if I couldn't feel him at night. I'd wake up out of a dead sleep and look for him. He's usually be snuggled up to DH.

SP128 · July 2017

@notthefather Agreed. I don't need cats as leggings or red lips or anything that highlights my legs.

I don't get the shirts with the shoulders cut out. When did that become in?

notthefather · July 2017

Yes on the "cold shoulder" style @SP128!!

SP128 · July 2017

@notthefather hahahah "cold shoulder" style. I'm going to steal that.

megpeg · July 2017

Thank goodness I found more people who hate LLR! I love this board.

pghctwife · July 2017

Bedsharing = baby or child in same bed.
Cosleeping = child in same room and may or may not be in your bed.
Pet peeve. Lol. I don't know how ppl do it without cosleeping but whatever's works. But, bedsharing when done creectly is quite safe. What is dangerous if unplanned shared sleep, like when you've fall asleep on the couch holding the baby. THATS where your risk is. Or the mon who reLly doesn't want to bedsharw but it happens anyhow and She doesn't need create a safe space because 'I don't want to do that.'

uo: I hate the borad org, symptoms threads are too long and generic and it's too hard to follow a long random thread. I much prefer the posts people just start even though they are directed away.

I miss the old boards where ppl just... talked.

mdfarmchick · July 2017

K, that GIF is literally one of my favorite Joey quotes ever, @hullabalou!

So I get that the 90's are back, but whyyy crop tops??? Whyyy???

chasingroygbiv · July 2017

Yep. Nope to crop tops. Ever. @mdfarmchick

deleted22152218 · July 2017

I'm not a fan of the return of the lace up cleavage shirts.

stow2009 · July 2017

Oh, these are kind of fun. I don't like all the fuss with taking professional photos for everything these days. It seems like new events are added to the list all the time! So much money, time, pressure, and I tend to like the photos people just take during everyday life much better. When I told my husband he didn't have to do a maternity shoot with me with pregnancy #1, I think it was the best news he had heard all year!

I am this same camp. We have never bed shared with our girls. They sleep in their own space from the beginning. I need that break at night.

arhodes6 · July 2017

@pghctwife thanks for the clarification on cosleep vs. bedshare. I guess I'm mainly referring to bedsharing. Although cosleepinh brings the same problems for me, like no me time. And serious question here, do you have to do the deed with your SO in the living room/guest room/laundry room/any other room but your bedroom?
